Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

A spy delivered to his doorstep? Napoleon III clearly did not understand, and the Montaub did not dare to continue trying to keep him guessing and quickly solve the riddle.

"Your Majesty, we have to find the answer to this case. Don't you feel that this assassination is too unusual?"

"Who is the mastermind?" Since it is definitely not us from France, then who would have the motive to assassinate Emperor Tongzhi? "Is it Russia?"

"On the surface, it seems like Sha Ao had a motive for the assassination, but after careful analysis, it is not like that. Sha Ao hates Xiao Letian and the Chinese so he doesn't hate Tongzhi …" "Although the eight flags troops of the Tongzhi Emperor's Secret Order are obstructing the path of the Cossack …"

"But, the army of Sha Russia and the Eight Banner Army did not have a serious conflict. No matter how stupid these Northern barbarians are, they would not be able to create two enemies at the same time!" That's why the possibility of Sha Russia assassinating Emperor Tongzhi is very small … "

French Emperor nodded his head: "You are right, this is also a problem that I have been thinking about. You also said that you have left out one thing, which is the British 'warning in advance!"

"Before the envoy came to London, the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already secretly communicated the attitude of the Queen and Prime Minister to me through the Alexander II. They would definitely not allow any accidents to happen to the Tongzhi Emperor and Xiao Letian in Europe!"

"Although I am very angry, but to say a word of shame, I have to accept the British warning... After all, the situation in Europe is too chaotic right now.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right. Even we have to respect the English warning, so does Alexander II dare to challenge us?"

"Poor Sha Russia has now turned into a mess due to the economic reforms. The Far East has also been ruthlessly stabbed by the Chinese. According to many sources, Sha Russia can't even bring out an army for an expedition to East Asia!"

"Of course the tsar has plenty of soldiers, whether one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is easy, but what about the supplies? How much supplies would be needed for an expedition across Eurasia? How many roads are needed, and how many regions and countries along the way? "

"The amount of money consumed is probably an astronomical figure. How could the Tsar have that much money?" Taking the sea route was a bit cheaper, but did Russia have so many ocean-going fleet? Even the number of merchant ships gathered might not be enough! "

"Their only hope is our Anti-Hua Alliance. In fact, Alexander II's attitude is very clear, he wants to form an alliance with us, he provides a large amount of manpower and small amount of resources, while my France provides the majority of military power and ocean fleet …" Only in this way will he be able to send out her vengeful army from Moscow! "

"Russia's military operations are completely restricted by the logistics. To put it bluntly, without our financial support, his warriors could only howl helplessly in Europe. How could they not endure such a situation?"

"That is why even if Sha Ao wants to do something, they have to obediently endure it!" Furthermore, they did not have any motive to kill Tongzhi the Emperor, so they definitely had to eliminate Sha Ao as a suspect! "

"Excluding Sha Russia and our France, who else could it be? With the motivation to kill Tongzhi, there was still the strength to assassinate him? "Could it be that these fanatical soldiers are acting on their own?"

"Are you joking? To be able to break through the heavy protection of the Metropolitan Police and the Janissaries, there must be a force backing this assassination! Personal behavior is absolutely impossible! " French Emperor also shook his head.

"That's right, that's why we have to eliminate the possibility of the lone wolf committing crimes. Our eyes must also focus on those countries or large powers that have the ability to do so …"

Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face. "Your Majesty, I have a very bold guess. Although we don't have any evidence, but I will tell you everything just for your reference."

"Speak!" "Don't keep us in suspense …" French Emperor said in anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I was just guessing randomly …" Erm, have you ever considered the possibility that the culprit was Xiao Letian? "

Puchi … A mouthful of red wine spewed out. Cough cough cough … Are you crazy? Xiao Letian? He killed his disciple? "

"Kill our own people?" Hahaha … Are you eating too much English food and feeling a little muddled from eating too much? "

The attitude of the French Emperor was obviously within the expectations of the Monopoly, and the general who relied on massacring the Chinese to become a noble sneered: "Our own people? "Is that really the case …"

With a single sentence, Napoleon III fell silent immediately. "Eh? What do you mean... "Tell me in detail!"

"Your Majesty, we have to admit, Xiao Letian is a ruthless person. Do you remember his first visit to Europe? "

"Just as he was escaping from our country, a picture suddenly appeared in the newspaper. On it, Xiao Letian was stabbed in the chest, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive, because that picture caused our international image to be severely damaged!"

"But in the end, the Intelligence spent half a year to arrange the results, what are the results? We simply could not find the soldier who assassinated Xiao Letian. Even the soldiers who died in battle checked several times, and the result proved that the assassination did not exist! "

"Intelligence's final conclusion is Xiao Letian's scheme. He himself risked his life to be the one to blame for it, but this sort of scheme is completely unsolvable to ordinary citizens with low intelligence!"

"People are born biased towards the weak and the injured. Xiao Letian used this mentality to achieve his sinister goal of discrediting France!"

"He used to play such a trick in the past, but now he doesn't? What if he really did set himself up and framed us? "

"With his personality, I think he can do it!"

"My God! Could it be that Xiao Letian is preparing an excuse to declare war on us? " French Emperor was immediately enraged.

"I think it's quite possible!" Otherwise, how could Tongzhi, that thirteen year old child, escape from the hands of an assassin? In the end, he even personally chopped off the assassin's head? A dog shit scene of a lonely hero? "

When French Emperor heard this, it was as if grass grew in his heart as he paced back and forth in the Hall of Mirrors, the sound of his leather boots constantly reverberating, "These damned Chinese people, don't they know death? You really want to start a war with my France? You actually dare to make us take the blame? "

"Tell me about your plan! Who are you talking about as spies? What does that have to do with anything? "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Montaubon did not answer immediately. Instead, he boldly poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all. The spy I'm talking about... "

"It's the Tongzhi Emperor himself!"
