Chapter 157 Provoking Relations Between Great Powers
In fact, the first person to arrive was not the Censor of the City Patrol, nor the Marquis of the City Patrol Yu, but the Detective Department, followed closely by the Machine Speed Department. These two top spy yamen in the Song Dynasty immediately confronted each other.
Conduct on-site inspections and organize everything found.
The people from the Liao Dynasty mission were very repelled by their appearance, especially Jisusi, the yamen that Yeluhan had heard of for the first time, and he was extremely wary of them.
Just when he wanted to understand how these people worked, he was politely asked out of Dutingyi, placed in the front yard, and surrounded by a large army. This was unacceptable to Yeluhan.
Ye An persuaded him kindly: "This is for everyone's safety. What if there is more than one attack? You see there are still people in the mission who are seriously injured. If they are not treated in time, it may be very troublesome. It is better to set up a tent here, so
Everything you need is available, ensuring that you feel like you are back in Beijing."
After Ye An finished speaking, he directed people to set up the prepared tent, which was fully equipped with stoves, blankets, and all kinds of furniture. If it weren't for the thick white tarpaulin as the top, there would be nothing wrong with it, and it wouldn't even look like a wild place.
Cao Yi felt that Ye An was too considerate of Yeluhan and others, and the Song Dynasty was not responsible for this matter. The people who attacked the Liao mission had a premeditated plan. How could it be done by the Song Dynasty?
The security guard from the Machine Speed Division handed over the gunpowder residues and fragments that were about to be collected. Ye An casually took the handed bamboo tweezers and carefully looked through the things on the facade and then said: "Firearms that are not from our Song Dynasty, send someone to
Find out where the sulfur on the facade comes from!”
The guard held his fists and said, "I obey, my brother from the Detective Department will seal off the scene and wait for your inspection!"
Ye An nodded and was about to go over when Ye Luhan beside him said unhappily: "Ye Hou is so capable! I will pick you clean as soon as I come up. Firearms have always been your specialty, why are they not yours now?"
Already?!"
"Believe me, if they were the firearms of my Great Song Dynasty, you wouldn't have the chance to stand here and question me. Look at how shoddy these things are, they are not even worthy of being equipped for my Great Song Dynasty army!"
What Ye An said was very serious, but it also made Yeluhan wary. He had often heard about the firearms of the Song Dynasty, but he had never actually seen them.
Neither Zhending Mansion nor Xiongzhou can see such weapons. Only those who have experienced it just now know how powerful firearms are. The poisonous smoke is diffused and the sound is thunderous. But when it comes to Ye An, it is not worth mentioning at all. That big
What did Song's firearms look like?
"Who knows whether what you say is true or not? What you say is amazing, but we have never seen it. You are right, but besides the people of Song Dynasty, who else has such a firearm?!"
Pointing to the northwest, Ye An smiled and said: "There are still party members! Back then, Li Yuanhao personally lurked in Tokyo City to explore the secrets of firearms. Unfortunately, I found out and expelled him, but there are still people who are greedy for money.
After telling him what he needed for gunpowder, the Dangxiang people also had firearms, but their firearms were inferior and could not be compared with those of the Song Dynasty."
"Hey Ye Changsheng! Are you putting the blame on the Dangxiang people again? How do you want to see me, Daliao, fighting with Dangxiang, and you, the Song Dynasty, profit from it?!"
There are some people in the world who pretend to be asleep and cannot wake up. Ye An looked at Yeluhan and said: "Take care of your subordinates, otherwise I will think you are incompetent."
This wave of dimensionality-reducing blows directly caused the Khitan warrior to go berserk. The more this happened, the uglier Yeluhan's face became, and he finally shouted: "That's enough! The Khitan warrior comes with me!"
In the end, Yeluhan chose to give in. He himself also knew that if the attack was carried out by Dangxiang people as Ye An said, then Dangxiang was sowing discord and prompting tension between Song and Liao. The result is self-evident.
Neither he nor Ye An wanted to see it.
Ye Luhan is not stupid either. He and Ye An have reached consensus on certain aspects, and the officials of the Song Dynasty also arranged for people to send the coins to the Liao Dynasty after receiving the envoys. There is no problem between the two parties.
At that time, the Song people would not gain more than the losses if they attacked the Liao mission again, and the Song people would not do such a rude and stupid thing.
Seeing Yeluhan leading people into the tent to rest, Cao Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the matter would be so big. The Duting Station was now filled with thick smoke. Not only was there smoke and dust, but it was also deliberately set on fire.
The nearest Qianhuo Shop on West Street already felt that it was being blocked by the soldiers who were praising the Japanese army. When Cao Yi saw it, he couldn't help but kick it: "When the hell did it happen? The Qianhuo Shop soldiers were not allowed to go in to put out the fire.
, Dutingyi burned down, can you bear such responsibility?!"
Several soldiers immediately shook their heads and let them go. Cao Yi came out to speak. That meant someone was responsible, so they naturally didn't bother to object.
At least the fire was not big. Although it was dry and cold in winter, there was no wind today, and the fire in Dutingyi was quickly put out.
Detectives from the Detective Department soon discovered clues in the back alley. The attacker's footprints appeared on the wall, and based on these footprints, the attacker's approximate height was deduced.
Cao Yi was very surprised by this and asked Ye An: "Why can you deduce the height of the criminal just by looking at the footprints?!"
"The height of a person is about seven times the length of his footprints. In addition, the length of his stride is also related to his height. It is usually one to seven, especially for adults. Most of them are like this, except for the elderly and children. Do you think the elderly and children will attack Liaodu?
Tingyi?"
Ye An slowly walked around the wall of Dutingyi, looked up at the wall and said: "There are traces of hooks and locks on the wall. It is not difficult to see how they entered it. What are you doing?!"
Cao Yi stepped hard on the wooden box that was brought on the ground and prepared to flip it up, but with his weight, it was impossible to succeed at all. He even stepped on the wooden box under his feet to pieces...
"Brother, I can't make it. Even if there is a hook and lock, I can't get through."
Ye An looked at Cao Yi's general's belly and said: "Brother, if you keep getting so fat, believe me it's not that your belt is not long enough, but that the elegiac couplet is not wide enough. The enemy may not necessarily kill you on the battlefield, but the mountains will definitely kill you."
life!"
"What are the three highs?"
"Three diseases can't be seen, but they can make you dizzy, your blood vessels are blocked, your physical strength is weak, and severe cases can lead to sudden death. Don't think it's unlucky for me to say this during the Chinese New Year. I'm kindly giving you a warning."
Cao Yi's face turned pale: "You are right! My brother often feels dizzy and tired after even a little movement! You have to save my brother!"
Ye An rolled his eyes and said: "Eat less liver, less fatty food, exercise more, and drink more red fruit drink, which will naturally relieve the pain."
Looking at the stunned Cao Yi, Ye An was too lazy to say anything more. Every time he saw him, he found that he had gained weight. If the situation continued, he would fall ill on the bed before he went to the battlefield.
As a friend, there is only so much I can do. Kind reminders are useless to this guy. I can only use the simplest and crudest method to scare him. It seems to have a good effect.
After circling twice outside Xiduting Posthouse, the detectives from the Detective Department inspected it very carefully and analyzed every trace. The criminals sneaked into Xiduting Posthouse through the back alley. Although it was located in a busy city,
However, Xidutingyi is a place where strangers should not approach, and it is guarded by soldiers from the Imperial City Department, so ordinary people will not come here.
Last night was New Year's Eve, and the streets were busy during the New Year's Eve celebrations, so no one was walking around in the back alleys. The gangsters took advantage of the dim light and used hook locks to enter when people were most tired, and opened the way with gunpowder bombs filled with sulfur.
Arson caused chaos and took the opportunity to attack the Liao Dynasty envoys.
However, there were many warriors in the Liao mission and they fought back bravely. Although six people were killed in the battle, there were no casualties among the core members of the mission, including Yelu Han. The soldiers from the Imperial City Division also quickly arrived to assist.
Greater casualties were avoided.
Otherwise, Ye An believed that the Liao Dynasty envoy would not just stay in the front yard to rest, but would rush to the palace gate to ask for an explanation.
