Therefore, Zhao Ji adheres to the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and one thing less is worse than nothing.
I didn't even bother to think about it and just agreed.
But at this moment, the strangest scene happened.
The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin actually wanted to send someone to join the investigation team.
And the excuses they gave were even more bizarre.
That is, this place is the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom are all guests here.
If during the subsequent investigation, the Song Dynasty appears to be defending its shortcomings, only a few people from the Liao Kingdom will be able to deal with it, and they will inevitably be treated unfairly.
And when their envoys from the Jin Kingdom also joined in, the Song Dynasty would inevitably have some scruples when it came to protecting its shortcomings.
In this way, it will be more conducive to investigating the identity of the group of robbers and thieves.
Logically speaking, this rhetoric has no rationality at all.
But at this time, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin had to use this excuse to forcefully join the investigation organization.
In the end, despite Zhao Ji's repeated arguments, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Wanyan Zonghan originally suggested that he would go out of the city to look for clues early tomorrow morning.
However, his proposal was rejected by Yelu Nanxian.
What she means is that the faster this matter is investigated, the better.
If it is delayed for too long, other changes may occur by then.
In the end, due to Yelu Nanxian's insistence, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to acquiesce to this proposal.
After having lunch, Wu Zhi and the envoys from the two countries went out of the city to look for clues.
Under the guidance of the survivors, a group of them arrived at the site of the incident that evening.
When Yelu Nanxian and Yelu Zonglei saw the Daliao cavalry who died tragically at the foot of the mountain, they were immediately trembling with anger.
At the same time, they also noticed the masked strong men lying on the ground.
Feeling shocked and suspicious, he planned to step forward and pull off their scarves.
But at this time, they encountered strong opposition from Wanyan Zonghan and others.
And the explanation they gave at this time made Yelu Nanxian and Yelu Zonglei almost furious.
I saw Wanyan Zonghan dragging the corpses of the masked men behind him first.
Then, he looked at Yelu Nanxian and Yelu Zonglei with apologetic expressions.
"Your Highness, since these people have covered their faces, they don't want the world to know their identities."
"In this case, why should Her Royal Highness the Princess of Daliao have to force herself?"
Yelu Nanxian sneered several times.
"The cavalrymen of the Daliao Kingdom who were lucky enough to escape just now have told me all the evil deeds done by these masked men."
"At this time, His Highness the Prince of the Kingdom of Jin is trying his best to protect these masked men. Could it be that these masked men were sent by His Highness the Prince?"
"The purpose is to kidnap those batch of crossbows and the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty?"
At this time, Wu Zhi was standing a little further away, looking at the two groups of people who smelled of gunpowder.
For Wu Zhi and Shuibo Liangshan behind Wu Zhi, this period is the most suitable golden period for development.
Because neither the Jin Kingdom nor the Liao Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty.
But Wu Zhi doesn't know when this relatively peaceful development period will be broken.
The tit-for-tat confrontation between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom was the best opportunity for the Song Dynasty to seize the prize from the fire.
And this trigger, on the one hand, comes from the increasingly intensified conflict between the two races.
Second, it must be stimulated and mobilized artificially.
Wu Zhi's next move was to intensify the conflict between their two nations.
At this time, the envoys from their two countries and the guards they led were all focused on each other.
So inevitably, Wu Zhi was ignored.
Wu Zhi also took advantage of this opportunity and came to the body of a masked man.
Then, he pretended that his feet slipped and fell down.
At the same time, he very 'accidentally' pulled off the mask of the masked man.
This move immediately made Wu Zhi, who was so shocked in his heart, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Oh, this big masked man actually looks like this!"
"Looking like this, it doesn't look like us people from the Song Dynasty at all."
"But with this appearance, is he from Jin or Liao?"
"I can't tell the difference either."
When Wanyan Zonghan suddenly turned his head and looked at Wu Zhi with a surprised expression, the expression on Wu Zhi's face was also full of innocence and confusion.
And that Yelu Nanxian also seized the opportunity at this time, and rushed to Wu Zhi's side in a few short steps.
Then, he pointed at the man's body and asked Wanyan Zonghan loudly.
"Your Highness the Prince of the Kingdom of Jin, how can you explain this to me?"
Even Wanyan Zonghan, no matter how resourceful he was, could not reasonably explain why these masked Jin warriors appeared here?
At the same time, why did they engage in a fierce fight with the Liao cavalry escorting those crossbows and equipment?
In Wanyan Zonghan's heart, it was when heaven and man were at war.
In his ears, Wu Zhi's belated voice came again.
"Oh I see!"
"It turns out that in order to get the crossbow equipment from the Song Dynasty and the manufacturing talents of the Ministry of Industry, it was the Jin Kingdom that even used force to snatch it from the Liao cavalry."
"Oh, Prince Wanyan Zonghan, you are too courageous!"
"Aren't you afraid that this will provoke an all-out war between the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Liao?"
"If this is really the case, then you, Prince Wanyan Zonghan, will become the historical sinner of your Kingdom of Jin."
At this time, Wanyan Zonghan was displeased by Wu Zhi's words and felt very unhappy.
But at this time, he couldn't come up with any point of view to refute Wu Zhi.
So, all I could do was sulk secretly there.
At this time, Yelu Nanxian and Yelu Zonglei were also furious at what they did to the Jin Kingdom.
If the two of them hadn't been concerned about each other's identity, they would have been bleeding on the spot by now.
Wu Zhi took a look and realized that there was enough hatred for the two of them.
As a result, the two of them gradually turned their attention to another place.
Wu Zhi first pretended to have a thoughtful expression on his face, then suddenly his eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
"No, it was originally the cavalry from the Liao Kingdom escorting the batch of crossbow equipment and officials from the Ministry of Industry."
"But on the way to the Daliao Kingdom, they encountered masked robbers from the Jin Kingdom and intercepted the cavalry of the Daliao Kingdom."
