Chapter 610: Mastermind

Fu Bi was invited to Su's house overnight, he only glanced at it, and Fu Bi confirmed Su Jin's guess, these fake tolerances were from the Dang Xiang clan.

"Rich brother, what do you think about this?" Su Jin asked.

Fu Bi pondered and paced, and said in a dumb voice: "The Dangxiang clan is mainly from the Western Xia, and only a small number of Dangxiang people live in the northwest roads in my Great Song Dynasty, and very few Dangxiang people live in the capital, and the identities of these people are really difficult to define. ”

Su Jindao: "My Great Song Dynasty has special laws for the people of the party, such as not being allowed to enter Beijing, such as hostility and discrimination? ”

Fu Bi shook his head and said: "The emperor has always attached great importance to the policy of tenderness towards non-Han people in various places, whether it is the Uighurs, the Dangxiang, the Khitan, or the Yi people in the south, they all treat them equally, and there is no unfavorable legal constraint for them; There may be some discrimination among the common people, but it is not very serious. ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Then it's strange, since they are not hostile to them, why do they wear wigs to hide their identities?" And judging from the equipment on their bodies, it seems to have been premeditated. ”

Fu Bi said: "I think so too, I prepared a poisonous dagger and a highly poisonous elixir, and disguised my identity, these people must have ulterior motives, but it's a pity that those three people don't open their mouths when they die, otherwise they will definitely be able to ask for the truth." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said, "If they don't open their mouths, it doesn't mean that we can't guess their plot; Before the rich brother came, I thought about it carefully, sorted out a clue, and said to listen to the rich brother, do you think it makes sense? ”

Fu Bi said: "Listen to me." ”

Su Jin pointed to the dead corpses on the ground and the three people who were tied up like hairy crabs: "Their identities are actually not difficult to guess, I can almost conclude that they are the Western Xia people sent by the Western thief Li Yuanhao." ”

Fu Bi was not surprised and said, "I think so too. ”

Su Jin continued: "They infiltrated the capital in full armor, and they must have done something unfavorable to my Great Song Dynasty, I originally thought that they wanted to be unfavorable to our officials, but then I felt that their target was not us, but someone else. ”

Fu Bi condensed and said, "You mean, they are here to ......?" ”

Su Jin said: "Combined with today's events, I think their goal is to target the Liao envoys. ”

Fu Bi was stunned and said: "For the Liao envoy? ”

Su Jin pointed to a few blue sharp daggers in the spread cloth bag and said: "The preparation is so thorough, it is natural to put people to death, these daggers that seal their throats with blood are not prepared for themselves, they must have come to assassinate the Liao envoy Xiao Temo and his party." ”

Fu Bi frowned and said, "However, if you want to assassinate the Liao envoy, why do you have to pretend to be a prisoner?" In addition, the relationship between the Western Thieves and the Liao State is harmonious, what good is it for them to kill the Liao people? I don't think there's much motivation. ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Pretending to be a tolerance and openly appearing is indeed suspected of startling the snake, and I don't understand this; But the benefits of killing the Liao envoy to the Western Thief are absolutely huge, and the harmonious relationship between the two countries is just a superficial imagination, since it is harmonious, why did my Great Song Dynasty and the Western Thief fight against the Liao people but did not send troops to help the Western Thief fight against my Great Song Dynasty? This shows that there are limits to this rapport. But if once the Liao envoy is assassinated, and it is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, have you ever thought about the repercussions? ”

Fu Bi was shocked and said: "If the Liao envoy dies in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State will definitely refuse to take a break, and it will definitely attract retaliation; The Liao people may think that it is the hand of my Great Song Dynasty, and there will be a bloody battle between the two countries at that time. ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "That's right, this is the most vicious strategy of discord, once the Song and Liao are evil, my Great Song will be attacked in both ways, and then the western thieves will be able to reap the benefits, and the Great Song Dynasty is also unable to compete with the two great powers, and the disaster of destroying the country and exterminating the species is inevitable; That's why I say it's the most clever and vicious way to discord. ”

Fu Bi's face was oozing with hot sweat, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat and said, "In that case, why don't they directly assassinate Xiao Temo but play these tricks that are not in the flow." ”

Su Jin said: "It stands to reason that this move is a losing move, and if it is done, it will only add a little misunderstanding between us and the Liao envoy, but it is very easy to expose yourself, in fact, they are also planted in this matter, and we have caught four accomplices; But my intuition tells me that this matter is not so simple, and at least two immature conclusions can be drawn. ”

Fu Bi said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

"One of them is: the Liao envoy's embassy is very well guarded, and this group of people has no chance to attack; Xiao Temo looked very smug on the outside, but in fact he was extremely careful, as can be seen from the fact that as soon as he entered the pavilion, he expelled all the people who were called by my Great Song Post and the servants inside. ”

"It makes sense, Xiao Temo is indeed careful enough, and he also has the Xiao Ten Tiger guards by his side, which may have surprised these people, so we have to create a little chaos for us, so that the Liao envoy refuses to negotiate terms with us, which can be regarded as partially achieving the purpose, and once the chaos starts, they may have more opportunities in the shadows."

Su Jin said: "That's right, although it's speculation, it can't be ruled out that they think so; The second point is that I think they are actually using this opportunity to assassinate the Liao envoy. ”

Fu Bi was puzzled: "Are you saying that they pretended to be tolerant and did not let the surrounding restaurants serve Liao people food as part of their plan?" ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Brother Fu, are you a little strange, why don't these party members poison the Liao people's wine and food?" It stands to reason that the Liao people bought wine and food and brought them back to the pavilion to eat, which was the best opportunity for them to start, and poisoning the wine and food in the restaurant should be an easy thing for these people; But the fact is that they did the opposite and threatened others to refuse to sell food to the Liao people, is this a bit stupid? ”

Fu Bi said with a smile: "You have to worry about this, I was going to take Xiao Temo and others out to eat in the restaurant in the evening, but Xiao Temo suddenly didn't want to go out with me, so he insisted that I order someone to buy lettuce, raw meat, rice, flour and oil outside and let the cook make it himself; I don't think that tastes like that, so I ordered someone to go out and buy a few cooked dishes and bring them in, and after serving them on the table, what happened to you? ”

Su Jin said: "What? ”

"This Xiao Temo actually asked people to test whether there are poisons in the dishes with silver needles, which is really speechless; Being so cautious that it can be seen that the attempt of this gang of party members to poison the food will not work at all. ”

Su Jin suddenly said: "Then I understand, I am struggling with this matter; Thinking that the party members had done a good job of spying, they must have known that the Liao envoy had the habit of testing poison before meals, and once he was poisoned, he really exposed his purpose. Thinking about it like this, Xiao Temo was eating and drinking in the neighboring water house at noon, and he was really hungry, and if he was extremely hungry, he would not be so careful. ”

"That's natural, besides, it's the restaurant that your deputy envoy Su personally took them to, he is more at ease; In addition, after a full meal at noon, I was not too hungry in the evening, and naturally the string in my brain tightened again. ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "They value their dog's life more than anything else; So the whole thing is easy to explain; First of all, there were too many of Xiao Te's men, and they were heavily defended, so there was no chance to attack at all; So these Dangxiang Assassins retreated to the next best thing, and just as we took a big gamble with the Liao envoy to win them out, and the news spread, the gang devised an even more tortuous plan. ”

Fu Bi smiled and said, "Brother Xian can go and write a script." ”

Su Jin ignored his ridicule and continued: "You should have listened to what I said, the Liao envoy will have resistance because of my unfriendly behavior of the Great Song Dynasty, so it will directly lead to the cancellation or postponement of the meeting, in fact, because of this matter, it has indeed delayed my plan; Taking a step back, even if an agreement can be reached, it will take more time to explain and communicate with each other, which creates opportunities for them, and the longer the Liao envoys stay in Bianliang, the more they will be able to find opportunities. ”

Fu Bi nodded and said, "There is some truth. ”

Su Jin said: "From this, I can boldly deduce another design, if Xiao Temo didn't come to me with a cheeky face today, he only needs to be hungry for two more meals, his defensive psychology will be relaxed, and at this time, as long as someone pushes hot cooking cakes through the entrance of the pavilion, will it be swept away by the Liao?" Will the hungry Liao people use silver needles to detect whether a few pennies a cooking cake is poisonous? If it were me, I wouldn't do that, and when my chest is pressed against my back when I'm hungry, who has the leisure to care about a cookcake bought from a passing vendor? I can even dress up as a forbidden army, and use the name of you and me to send it directly to the door, although Xiao Temo is angry with you and me, but I will never be willing to starve to death, and then I won't say what happened you can guess. ”

Fu Bi changed color and said: "Oh, according to what you say, it is really very likely to happen; It is Xiao Temo who is cautious, and his men are not necessarily cautious; If even one of the people below is poisoned, we can't get out of it, and Xiao Temo will inevitably turn around and return to China. ”

Su Jin said: "These are all speculations, maybe this group of party members has a higher IQ and thinks more deeply than us, in short, we can't simply speculate about them." ”

Fu Bi said in horror: "Doesn't it mean that there are seven or eight people in this group? How can it be good to catch four of them, but the rest are still in the city? ”

Su Jin said: "Don't worry, they didn't dare to come when they were together, but now that they have been arrested, they will disappear." ”

Fu Bi said: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Su Jindao: "The first thing is to pry open the mouths of these three people, no matter what, we must obtain the confessions of these three people, with this confession, it will be of great benefit to our negotiations with the Liao people." The second is to immediately notify the Liao envoy to strengthen precautions and not make mistakes. ”

Fu Bi said: "Without further ado, let's go to the pavilion to meet the Liao envoy immediately, and tell them all about the matter, and these three people will also be brought together and interrogated in front of them." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "That's how it should be, tonight is another sleepless night." ”

Fu Bi took Su Jin's arm and said, "Then I ask Deputy Envoy Su to work hard, this matter may be related to the overall situation of the Three Kingdoms of Song, Liaoxia and Xia." ”

Su Jin laughed and walked out of the hall with Fu Bi.
