Chapter 159: Suspicion of Su Jianming

Hearing Su Jianming's question, Bai Haohong still said calmly: "You curse the three princes like this, aren't you afraid that what you say will come true?" ”

Liu Linshen asked in a low voice, "Lord Bai, do you mean that the third prince is not dead?" ”

Bai Haohong didn't answer, and continued to say to Su Jianming: "Lord Left Deputy Envoy, the two deputy envoys only have two guards guarding at the door, but the missing person is protected by six guards, how do you explain it?" The third prince was assassinated in the restaurant, you don't seem to panic, and you don't ask much, but you are so concerned about the missing person, and you repeatedly ask about the result, why is this? And, judging from your tone, it seems that you know that there will be assassins in the Fugui Restaurant, isn't that true? ”

When Su Jianming heard this, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "I didn't mean to deceive you, we received news that someone was going to assassinate the third prince for his safety, so I didn't tell the truth." The missing person in this house is indeed the third prince, and the one who went to eat at the Fugui Restaurant was pretended to be a guard. Our original plan was to catch the assassin in the Fugui Restaurant and track down the instigator behind the scenes, but unexpectedly, not only did we not catch the assassin in the restaurant, but the true prince of the pavilion was also attacked, and now his life and death are unknown. Please hurry up and send some elites to find the Three Princes. ”

Liu Linshen replied: "We have already sent someone to find it, but we still need to know more about the characteristics of the three princes." ”

Bai Haohong said to Liu Linshen: "The assassins only attacked three rooms, that is to say, the assassins knew the residence of the three princes and the left and right deputy envoys. Lord Liu, who assigned the room for the mission personnel? ”

Liu Linshen replied: "The allocation of rooms was all arranged by the Western Xia mission itself, and I only found out after the accident which person lived in which room. ”

Bai Haohong asked Su Jianming again: "Master Su, do you know who allocated the room?" ”

Su Jianming replied: "It's me." ”

"After you assigned the room, who did you tell about the allocation plan?"

"I only told the Third Prince and Lord Yin, I really don't understand, how did the assassin know."

"Have your personal guards ever been out of the pavilion?"

"Lord Yin and I have each taken a guard out. The guards who went out with us were all killed in this attack. ”

Liu Linshen added on the side: "There are records of entering and leaving the pavilion, I just read the records, in addition to the fifty-five people who went to the Fugui Restaurant, there are four of them who have gone out." ”

Bai Haohong asked Su Jianming again: "I know that the third prince arranged in the room is missing, Lord Yin was killed, but you, Lord Su, are safe and sound, how did you escape this catastrophe?" ”

Su Jianming replied: "Although I let the personal guards guard the door, I didn't live in that room. I persuaded the three princes to also use suspicious tactics and live in other houses, but the three princes didn't listen. ”

"Does Lord Yin know that you live in another house?"

"I used the tactic of suspicion to prevent him, of course I hid it from him." Su Jianming replied: "In Western Xia, Lord Yin is the main battle faction, and the three princes and I are the main peace faction. Master Yin and I not only have political disagreements, but also have a bad personal relationship, and he is very xenophobic. As the saying goes: you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Therefore, I am on guard everywhere against Lord Yin. ”

Bai Haohong couldn't help but mock: "You are loyal to the Western Xia, and the Western Xia people don't seem to treat you as their own." ”

Su Jianming said gloomily: "In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, I am a native of Western Xia; In the eyes of the Tangut people, I will always be a member of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"You've been out once, where have you been?"

"I went to visit Master Xiang."

"Where has Lord Yin gone?"

"He ......" Su Jianming hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know." ”

"Master Su, I think the assassins may come to kill you. Our Dali Temple is very safe, why don't you live there first, and then you can go back to the pavilion to live after the assassin is caught, okay? ”

"Okay."

Bai Haohong asked Li Dahai and others to stay in the pavilion to continue the investigation, and he took Su Jianming back to Dali Temple.

The two came to the head-catching room, Bai Haohong invited Su Jianming to sit down, and then said: "I have a bottle of a century-old good cellar here, do you want to drink a cup to suppress the shock?" ”

Su Jianming was really a little shocked, so he replied, "Okay." ”

Bai Haohong took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, poured it into the cup, and secretly put the "Truth Pill" into the cup, he handed the wine to Su Jianming, and then poured himself a glass of wine, and the two drank it in the head-hunting room.

After a while, Bai Haohong saw that Su Jianming's face had a sleepy look, so he asked, "You bought the assassin to kill Lord Yin, right?" ”

Su Jianming closed his eyes and replied, "I didn't buy the assassins. In Western Xia, the person who disagrees with me politically and has a bad relationship is not the only one who can kill Lord Yin? I can only watch out for not being killed by them. ”

"Tell me what you know."

"Before coming to the Great Song Dynasty, I received a notice from the 'Privy Envoy' that someone wanted to assassinate the Three Princes in the Great Song Dynasty, and that we should catch the assassin and find out who was behind the scenes. After a while, Lord Mover told me again that the Assassins would attack the Fugui Restaurant. Therefore, we asked the guards to pretend to be the three princes, and sent almost all the masters of the mission to the restaurant. Unexpectedly, the assassin not only went to the Fugui Restaurant, but also attacked the pavilion. ”

"Where did Lord Yin go before the attack on the pavilion?"

"Lord Yin didn't say it, but I heard that in the capital, there was a Western Xia spy to help him do things."

"Who is this spy? Where to stay? ”

"I don't know."

"Where have you been?"

"I went to visit Master Xiang."

"What did you say to Master Xiang?"

"We talked about some polite words from officialdom first, and after that, I asked Xiang Taishi to think about increasing the amount of the New Year's coin, and our Xixia would give him benefits, and Xiang Taishi agreed."

When Bai Haohong heard this, he scolded angrily: "The pug of Western Xia! ”

Su Jianming still closed his eyes and replied, "There are no pugs in Western Xia, only hunting dogs. ”

Seeing this, Bai Haohong was afraid that Su Jianming would wake up, so he hurriedly asked, "What else do you know about the attack on the pavilion?" ”

"After the pavilion was attacked, when I rushed to the house of the three princes, the other guards had already been killed, only Li Jianshu, the personal guard of the third prince, fell dying by the door, and he had not completely lost his breath, he only said the three words 'Xiang Taishi' to me, and died. Of course, it may also be that I misheard, and Master Xiang should have nothing to do with this matter. ”

"Could Taishi Xiang be the one behind the scenes?"

"Probably not. If something happens to the three princes, the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty are likely to rekindle the flames of war, and Xiang Taishi belongs to the Lord and the faction in the Great Song Dynasty. After a pause, Su Jianming continued: "However, it can't be completely ruled out that Xiang Taishi, because Xiang Taishi is very scheming, if he starts a war with Western Xia, it can bring him benefits, and he may not buy a killer to assassinate him." ”

"Who do you think is behind the scenes?"

"The main battle faction of our Western Xia. In order to provoke a war, they may kill the three princes. ”

"Does the main battle faction of Western Xia have any dealings with the Earth Dragon Gang?"

"I've never heard of the Earth Dragons."
