At such a critical moment, it is the most dangerous move for the military to take direct action. Any mature politician understands this. It is the police who should step in at this moment. Let the less violent police step in to maintain order so that the conflict will not escalate. .
The police were the most experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. They joined hands to form a human wall and began to disperse the spectators. A few slow-moving people were detained for disobeying orders.
When the citizens saw that the police were really coming, they did not dare to stay any longer. With the waving of batons, thousands of watching citizens were dispersed meter by meter, and then there were circles of police surrounding the human wall. , blocking the public's view from a distance.
It was only then that the atmosphere at the gate of King's College calmed down a little. Under the command of the field marshal, the three hundred Guards cavalry that had just blocked the road began to disperse, using war horses to drive away the citizens from a distance, making the entire empty field more and more empty. The bigger.
Without the military confrontation, the big shots finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Letian, who was ashen-faced, had no time to chat with the British politicians. He walked directly in front of Zai Chun and said with pity on his face, "Okay, okay, don't." I'm afraid, the master is here... everything is supported by the master!"
Although Zai Chun knew many secrets, although he kept reminding himself that Xiao Letian was not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and could never become a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.
But after all, this is the master who rescued him from the Forbidden City. In Zai Chun's mind, this man has filled the vacancy of his father. He is called master and apprentice. In fact, Zai Chun regards Xiao Letian as his subconscious father.
A wave of grievance welled up from his heart, breaking through the illusion of strength he had just established through killing, and he finally returned to what a thirteen-year-old should look like.
"Master! Wuwuwu..." Zai Chun jumped off the carriage, threw himself into Xiao Letian's arms and cried loudly.
"Uuuuuuuuah... Master! They want to kill me. They sent three waves of assassins to kill me! There are also two British policemen inside..."
"Six of my bodyguards were killed on the spot. Lian Jiu and Hu Xiao were seriously injured... Even Gordon lost a lot of blood and was about to die... Ooooh... What should I do? Who can give me justice!"
"I want to go to Congress! I want to ask these people in the British court why I was assassinated! What is the conspiracy!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful what you say. I swear to God that Britain has absolutely no attempt to assassinate you!" Benjamin also came, and the old man was sweating profusely.
"You swear? What's the use of your swearing? How do you explain the involvement of two British policemen? How do you explain it!" Xiao Letian turned his head and snorted coldly while holding the crying Zai Chun.
"Is this the promise you made to us before? Don't forget, you personally promised to provide the highest security protection to His Majesty the Emperor during his study tour in Europe. What now? Why did you let three waves of assassins get close to His Majesty?"
"What we want is real intention! It's not an oath! Is this how you, Benjamin, become the prime minister of a country?"
Benjamin blushed at Xiao Letian's scolding and wanted to retort, but looking at the bloody head on the carriage, the Prime Minister who was about to step down could not say anything.
Someone had to smooth things over at the critical moment. Relying on his close relationship with Xiao Letian, Gladstone took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is frightened. This is our responsibility, but please consider carefully, how can we in the UK Is it possible to carry out such an assassination in your own country?"
"Since the two assassins want to commit murder, they can still forge two police uniforms! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the British Empire will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Gladstone said the word "Perfection" in the strongest tone. Everyone present could understand the meaning. Zai Chun knew that for this "Perfection", Britain must transfer actual benefits to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise the whole world would have nothing to do with it. They can't stop it.
The Duke of Newcastle glanced at the dead-eyed head in horror and said cautiously, "Yes, Your Majesty, you are the most distinguished guest in the British Empire for thousands of years. The Queen gave up an entire floor of Buckingham Palace to welcome you. Do you want to go there?" Think how could we possibly be bad for you?”
"Not only the royal family, but also the entire Congress have the same opinion. No one wants His Majesty's blood to flow on British soil. We will do our best to solve the case and give you a satisfactory answer!"
Prince Edward's face was livid. He scolded the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in the corner. The six senior police inspectors were frightened and trembled while reporting the specific process of the assassination to the prince.
After listening to the brief report, the crown prince walked up to Zai Chun and said apologetically, "I just received the latest news. People from the National Police Agency found the bodies of two policemen at the scene. The assassins killed the two policemen and took them away." Wearing police uniforms, we got closer to His Majesty!"
"At this moment, the National Police Agency and the Intelligence Bureau have put down all their work and are fully committed to investigating this assassination case. This is a serious humiliation to the Empire on which the sun never sets, and it is also a provocation to the Qing Empire... We will never sit idly by and ignore it. Please Your Majesty, please rest assured and please believe in the British Royal Family’s firm attitude towards this matter!”
If you don't give face to anyone, you have to give face to the future King of England. Zai Chun wiped away his tears and stood up from Xiao Letian's arms. "Thank you very much. I just lost my temper! I hope my impolite behavior just now will not affect you." The friendship between our two countries!”
"No, no! Your Majesty is serious. Your bravery throughout the assassination process is worthy of our respect. I really didn't expect that Your Majesty was so brave. He was calm in chaos and could kill the thief in the end. This legendary scene will surely be It will go down in history forever!”
While Edward was boasting, a police inspector quickly ran over and whispered a few words in the Crown Prince's ear.
The Crown Prince's eyes lit up, "Well, very good... Dear Your Majesty, Head of State, news just came from the Police Department that the identities of the three main assassins have been identified. They are three Frenchmen who returned to Europe from Canada and passed through London on the way! "
"The customs has information on these three people. They just arrived in London the day before yesterday! Please believe that the efficiency of our work in the UK will definitely satisfy His Majesty!"
Xiang Ying had a ghost in his heart. Hearing that Britain's efficiency was so fast, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and his eyes swept into the distance involuntarily.
The British operation was efficient, but the Foundation's spies were even more efficient. At the same time that many British politicians at King's College were apologizing to Emperor Tongzhi, the White Goose Hotel in the East End slums was attacked by a group of unknown persons.
Six drunkards staggered into the Big White Goose Hotel with their arms around three lowly prostitutes. The boss was very familiar with this scene. These were the poorest scoundrels. They pooled their money to get a few women and prepared to sleep on the dirty bed. Vent your desires.
For this kind of people, they have to charge more room fees, otherwise they won't be able to pay for the damage to the bed.
"Second floor, first room at the corner..." Before he could finish his words, a cold light pierced the boss's mouth, and a dagger directly pierced the tongue, Adam's apple, and arterial trachea.
The boss only had time to pop a blood bubble in his throat, and then he fell softly to the ground.
