Speaking of Bai Haohong, on the day the Western Xia delegation came to Beijing, he returned home after the ya, and it was already time to finish eating. At the dinner table, Du Yiming said: "Passing by the Fugui Restaurant today, there is no customer in the store, and the lights are displayed at the door, saying that they are welcoming the guests of Xixia. I asked the shopkeeper Zhou, and he proudly told me: The three princes of Western Xia will come to dinner tonight. ”

Liz sighed: "Is Fugui Restaurant so famous? Even the three princes of Western Xia knew. ”

Bai Haohong said: "It is not uncommon for the third prince to know that Fugui Restaurant, I heard that he loves Han culture and often comes to the Great Song Dynasty in disguise. ”

Lizi asked curiously: "After the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao issued the 'bald order', the long hair in the middle part of the top of the head of the Western Xia people had to be shaved off, which was completely different from the Great Song people, and they could be recognized as Western Xia people at a glance. Every time the three princes come to the Great Song Dynasty to play, do they wear hats? ”

Bai Haohong replied: "This third prince is very special, he did not carry out the 'baldness order'. ”

Lizi asked again: "This is strange, Li Yuanhao restored the old customs of the Xianbei people, implemented the traditional hairstyle of the party, forbade the imitation of the Han hairstyle, if he dared to disobey the order, he would be executed immediately, why could this third prince not carry out the 'bald order'?" ”

"It is said that the most famous shaman in Western Xia (note: equivalent to a sorcerer) said to Li Yuanhao that the three princes have a special life, and they cannot be bald before the age of thirty.

Du Yiming smiled: "How can there be such a thing? It must be that the third prince did not want to be bald and bribed the shaman to say it. The Tangut people were superstitious, and it was not uncommon to believe in this kind of nonsense. ”

Bai Haohong nodded and said, "It may be that the third prince is reluctant to go bald for the convenience of going to the Great Song Dynasty." I think that the reason why Li Yuanhao can tolerate the three princes is so special, maybe the three princes came to the Great Song Dynasty, not only to play, but also to probe the military secrets of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Liz chimed in, "It's quite likely. It is said that the Western Xia was able to win the war, which was related to the mastery of the military intelligence of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Xu Feiyan asked, "Liz, who did you listen to?" ”

Liz replied proudly, "I know astronomy and geography." Brother Bai, after eating, let's go to the study to talk in detail, there are some military secrets that can't be known to Sister Feiyan. ”

Xu Feiyan glanced at Lizi and said sarcastically: "Who rarely listens!" What kind of story can you tell besides bragging. ”

Bai Haohong said: "Because the Western Xia delegation came to Beijing, I was afraid that something would happen, and after dinner today, I had to go to the Yamen to keep vigil." ”

Liz asked again, "Is Brother Zhan also on duty?" ”

"Of course."

After the meal, Bai Haohong came to Dali Temple, and soon Zhanpeng also arrived, the two talked about the Dilong Gang, and while talking, someone came to report: the three princes of Western Xia and several ministers were assassinated in the Fugui Restaurant, and the "Duting Xiyi" where the Western Xia mission was located was also attacked. After receiving the report, Lord Yu immediately ordered Bai Haohong to go to the "Duting Xiyi" and Zhanpeng to go to the Fugui Restaurant to investigate the case, and at the same time announced martial law in the city, strengthened access control, and sent officials to arrest the city, search for suspicious people everywhere in the city, and check all the guests staying in the inn.

When Zhan Peng led people to the Fugui Restaurant, Yao Dutou had already blocked the scene. After listening to Yao Dutou's detailed introduction, Zhan Peng asked, "Do you know where the assassin entered the Fugui Restaurant?" ”

Yao Dutou replied: "It should be from the back door." I only sent two forbidden soldiers to guard the back door, and after the assassins knocked out the forbidden army, they also knocked out the cook, Xiao Er, and Zhou's shopkeeper of Fugui Restaurant. The people of Fugui Restaurant have no martial arts, although there are many people, they are not vulnerable at all, and the assassin is a sneak attack, so it is easy to succeed. ”

"What about the people at Nirvana? Did they see what the assassin looked like? ”

"I found them in the kitchen and in the hallway, they were asleep, and I woke them up. Some of them said that the Assassins were masked; Others didn't know anything, so they fainted. The shopkeeper's clothes were stripped off, and it is estimated that the assassin went to stab after changing into the clothes of the second child. ”

"What did the Western Xia guards standing outside the private room say?"

They only saw seven people dressed in the shopkeeper's clothes enter the private room, and they didn't pay attention to their looks. The guards all said that at first, their vigilance was quite high, but later, when they saw that the banquet was about to disperse, they were a little sloppy. ”

Besides, Bai Haohong led people to the "Duting West Station" and saw Liu Linshen, the "Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple". After the two sides met the salute, Liu Linshen took the initiative to say: "I have sealed off the scene, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and let the members of the mission stay in their rooms and are not allowed to visit the door." ”

Bai Haohong said: "Very good. Let's introduce the Western Xia mission first, okay? ”

"Okay. This time, more than 100 people came from the Western Xia mission, and the envoy was the third prince, and he took a group of people out to eat. There are two deputy envoys, the left deputy envoy is called Su Jianming, and the right deputy envoy is called Yin Qiang. ”

"How many Assassins were there who attacked the inn? Where did they come from? ”

"I don't know how many people came. The Assassins entered from the west through the wall, came suddenly, attacked only three rooms, and quickly fled after killing people. When the forbidden army team guarding the pavilion arrived, they only saw the backs of the five assassins. When I arrived, Master Yin and a few of the guards had already lost their breath. ”

"You take me to the scene."

"Okay."

Liu Linshen first took Bai Haohong to the residence of the right deputy envoy Yin Qiang, and saw that outside the door, two Western Xia guards were stabbed to death several times, and Yin Qiang was hacked to death in the house. Liu Linshen took Bai Haohong to the residence of Su Jianming, the deputy envoy of the left, and there were also two guards who died outside the door, with multiple scars on their bodies, and there were no dead in the house.

Bai Haohong asked, "What about Lord Su?" ”

"He was lucky that he wasn't in the house when the Assassins attacked."

Then, Liu Linshen took Bai Haohong to the third room, pointed to the four corpses outside the house, and said, "These four guards died outside the house, and two were killed inside the house. ”

Bai Haohong asked, "Who lives in this house?" Why are there six guards to protect them? ”

"I asked, and Lord Su said that he was an important figure in Western Xia, and now he is missing."

As he was talking, the soldier came to report: "Lord Liu, Su Jianming, the left deputy envoy of Western Xia, has asked to see you." ”

"Got it, let him in." Liu Linshen then said to Bai Haohong: "Master Su was originally from my Great Song Dynasty, and he is currently an important minister of Western Xia. He must have come to urge us again, to find the missing person in this room, several times. ”

After Su Jianming entered the house, he first gave a salute, and then asked the missing person about the search results. Bai Haohong told Su Jianming: The third prince was stabbed to death in the Fugui Restaurant.

After hearing this, Su Jianming said in surprise: "Those assassins are really powerful, they are so strictly guarded, they still let them succeed." He then asked, "When are you going to find someone?" ”

Bai Haohong replied unceremoniously: "If you don't tell the truth, how can we find it?" ”。

Su Jianming asked, "What do you mean?" Our three princes were killed in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, not only did you not apologize, but your attitude was so arrogant! ”
