Chapter 1,484 On the Mirage(2/2)
An out-and-out killer organization built on darkness and death, no matter how much court skin it wears, it will not really become a well-behaved and easy-to-use tool.
But Zhao Gao has gone too far now.
To assassinate the eldest son of the empire twice in such a short period of time is too outrageous.
but……
"Can Luo Wang organize an assassination operation in a short period of time?"
You know, in the last assassination attempt, because Fusu took the initiative to "risk himself", the killers sent by Luo Wang suffered heavy casualties.
The strength of those people is considered absolute elite even within Luowang, and they are also members of the team secretly trained by Zhao Gao. They are not cheap cannon fodder.
Does Zhao Gao have so many people?
Ayan shook his head when he heard this and explained, "This is just a small-scale operation with very few manpower mobilized. There must be some clever arrangement."
The last time Luo Wang assassinated Fu Su, strictly speaking, it should be called a forced interception, and it was a head-on operation.
But in fact, when assassins carry out assassinations, they must make various reasonable, appropriate and exquisite arrangements to pay the minimum price in exchange for the maximum gain.
"Arrangements..." Jing Salamander murmured in a low voice, and then asked Ayan, "Do you think their plan has the possibility of success?"
Ayan shook his head decisively.
No matter how clever the plan to assassinate Fusu is, the probability of it working is infinitely close to zero.
Because Fusu is not a weakling, but a real top expert.
Want to kill him, unless Zhao Gao can send a truly peerless master.
Just a rough calculation, Gu Xun, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, Beimingzi, Xunzi, Donghuang Taiyi, Wei Liaozi... these are the people, which one do you think Zhao Gao can command and move?
Jing Salamang asked again, "Then you think Zhao Qingqing doesn't know how low the success rate of this assassination is?"
After Ayan hesitated for a moment, he nodded.
Regarding Zhao Gao, Ayan has always been willing to give him a high look.
With Zhao Gao's sophistication, even if he didn't understand Fusu's strength, he couldn't naively think that this assassination plan would work.
The more people like to play conspiracies, the clearer they are that in many cases conspiracies and tricks really don’t work, and they have to be upright and hard.
If you want to kill Fusu, the most suitable way is to intercept and kill him by force, just like in the previous assassination.
Jing Salamander finally asked, "Then why did he arrange this assassination?"
Ayan frowned slightly, carefully considered the information he had obtained, and speculated:
"This assassination will involve Prime Minister Li Si."
"Even if everyone knows in their hearts that the initiator of the assassination is Luo Sheng, it will still affect the relationship between Li Si and Brother Fusu."
"So... it's a estrangement?"
The eldest son was assassinated at a banquet hosted by Li Si. No matter what, there would be a grudge between the two parties.
Of course, politics is not a game based on emotions. Under normal circumstances, Fusu would not be really dissatisfied with Li Si because of this, and Li Si would not think that Fusu would bear a grudge against him for this matter.
However, when the situation is abnormal, when the relationship between Fusu and Li Si encounters a subtle node, this trivial grudge may lead the development of the matter to a not so good ending.
"Fusu is not such a person, and Li Si...as the Prime Minister, he should be a smart man, right?" Jing Salam questioned his daughter's guess.
Ayan shook his head and retorted:
"Li Si is a smart man. He understands the game of court politics very well, but the methods of people in the world are beyond what he, a scholar, can understand."
"Besides, excessive indulgence in the struggle for power can make people easily blind."
"...Maybe." Frightened Salamander did not continue to argue.
She never thinks that she is smarter than her daughter, so naturally she will not be stubborn.
"However, is it just to plant a nail that may not actually be used?"
"It should be more than that..." A Yan looked thoughtful and shook his head slowly, "Zhao Gao probably has other plans, but..."
"At present, it seems that the assassination of Brother Fusu will only cause two consequences. One is to pour a layer of dirty water on Prime Minister Li Si, and the other... is to trigger the Shadow Guards who have fallen into silence."
"The Shadow Guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family. They usually hide in the dark to protect Brother Fusu. Once an assassination occurs, they will immediately become active and investigate the case thoroughly."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?" Jing Salamander guessed.
The Shadow Guard investigates cases and always kills the wrong ones. They will not keep an eye on Zhao Gao just because he is the most likely suspect.
Of course, Zhao Gao would not be let go just because of Luo Wang's special status.
This kind of comprehensive inspection, which is like sifting through a sieve, can theoretically easily lead to "accidental injuries".
Ayan pondered for a long time, but couldn't make up his mind:
"Now, I don't know what the plan is behind it. It may be to kill someone with a borrowed knife, or there may be another purpose."
"In that case, don't think about it anymore. Just leave it to your father and them to deal with it." Jing Salamander said softly to his daughter.
Her purpose in coming to Songhai was not to deal with Zhao Gao.
Let the matter of snares be dealt with by the quicksand.
"Is there any new information about the Yin Yang family?"
"Yes!" Ayan nodded immediately, "There are intruders on the mirage."
"Who is Mirage? When?" Frightened Salamander frowned and asked.
"The specific identity is unknown, but I suspect he is from the Mo family."
Ayan answered carefully, "Because the remains of a mechanical white tiger appeared on the ship, but the driver was missing... It happened a few days ago, the morning after the night when the empire encircled and suppressed the Mo family."
"People from the Mo family? It's been a few days, haven't they been caught yet?"
"No." Ayan smiled and shook his head, "Maybe the person has escaped from the mirage, maybe he is still there. In short... the people of the Yin Yang family couldn't find any clues."
"However, it's hard to say whether I can't find it or just don't want to look for it."
"The Yin Yang Family..." Jing Salamander's eyes lost focus and he murmured in a low voice.
Ayan asked hesitantly, "Mom, can you tell me now why you came to Songhai?"
Jing Salamander came back to his senses after hearing the sound, looked at his daughter, pondered for a moment, shook his head and refused:
"You don't need to know about me."
Besides...I still have many unanswered questions...
Frightened Salamander did not say the last sentence.
