"Let General Wang tell you the details of this case."
Zhao Ziliang nodded to Wang Can after speaking.
"Yes."
Wang Can agreed, handed a transcript of the interrogation to Zonaras, and said: "This is the record of our interrogation of the three arrested cannibals.
All three of them confessed that they were the cannibals."
Aziz, deputy envoy of the Food Kingdom, contacted them.
They had been hiding in Hengluos and rarely met Aziz.
Aziz asked a total of thirteen of them to follow Julius and his party and wait for an opportunity to kill him.
Three people pay back After Aziz left, the Mahdi also sent people to find them.
Worried about their weak strength, he hired a team of thirty mercenaries to participate in the assassination.
Currently, the thirty mercenaries hired and You.
The bodies of Master and Servant Rius have been prevented from decaying by secret methods, and we have sent people to Aralsk.
If you need to claim the bodies, you can send people there, and we will send people to accompany them."
After hearing this, Zonaras said angrily: "If it is really the big cannibals who did it, they are deliberately provoking trouble.
Your Majesty, General Wang, I want to see these three big cannibals.
I want to hear their stories with my own ears."
Confession" Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, Wang Can, you can take the deputy envoy to the prison."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After Wang Can took Zonaras away, Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and shouted to the door: "Xiao Qin" Xiao Qin, a private soldier, walked in and saluted: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Come here."
Zhao Ziliang waved and whispered a few instructions in Xiao Qin's ear, who was walking over: "Go tell Wang Can, just say it."
"I understand," Xiao Qin agreed, saluted again, turned around and left.
Wang Can walked out of the prison with Zonaras and said: "Your Excellency, Deputy Ambassador, you should understand the current situation very clearly.
The big cannibal has ulterior motives and wants to provoke disputes between our two countries through this matter. , We hope that your Excellency, the deputy envoy, will make the matter clear to your emperor and the court, so as not to fall into the cannibal’s conspiracy.”
Zonaras said with a livid face: "The matter is already very clear.
In front of so many witnesses and evidence, if we still fall into the trap, it only means that we are too stupid.
General Wang, please tell His Highness the King of Western Qin, please Don't worry, I will write the article immediately Report the conspiracy of the people and send people back to the Eastern Roman Empire to present it to our Emperor Constantine V.
Our Emperor is a wise master.
I believe he will take the correct approach to handle this matter.
This matter should not happen.
Affecting the normal diplomatic relations between you and us."
Wang Can stopped and turned around, clasping his fists at Zonaras and saying, "I also believe that the emperor of your country is a wise master, and he will definitely not fall into the cannibal's conspiracy.
In handling the funeral affairs of Your Excellency Julius, if you If you need any help, just ask me, I’ll be there for you.”
"Thank you, General Wang."
Zonaras saluted, stroking his chest and saying, "In view of the fact that your Excellency Julius' master and servant were killed by the cannibal within your sphere of influence, on behalf of the Eastern Roman Empire, I request the Western Qin official to immediately Send people to arrest the masterminds behind the scenes, Mahdi and Aziz, and hand them over to us along with the three killers, for disposal by our Eastern Roman Empire."
Wang Can said with a rare expression on his face: "Your Excellency Zonaras, I'm sorry, we can't do this.
First of all, the leader of the big cannibal killer contacted by Aziz is dead.
The three people arrested did not directly contact Aziz.
Aziz met, one of them was sent by the Mahdi, so there was insufficient evidence to identify Aziz.
We could only arrest the Mahdi.
In our Western Qin, to judge whether a person is guilty or not, we must act in accordance with the law and cannot be arbitrary. mess around, this, i I hope you understand.
We have sent people to arrest Mahdi.
As for transferring him and the three big food killers to your disposal, please understand that we cannot agree to this matter.
Mahdi and Those three big food killers were assassinating people in our territory.
No matter which country they killed, they must be tried and dealt with by us.
We will not hand them over to anyone or any country.

They will be held in the judicial temple of our country.
To be judged and to have the judgment carried out” "This is really a pity," Zonaras said, and then asked: "General Wang, according to your experience, if your country's Judiciary Temple tried Mahdi and the three big food killers, they would be Is it a death sentence?"
Wang Can said: "The three big food killers are definitely dead.
As for Mahdi?"
Zonaras quickly said: "Please let the general know."
Wang Can looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered: "Sir, it's because of your personal relationship with me that I tell you the truth.
If it were anyone else, I would never tell you." .
"Yes, yes, I will definitely remember the general's feelings today, and I will treat him to a few drinks someday."
Wang Can whispered: "Based on my experience, our king will definitely not be inclined to sentence Mahdi to death.
You also know that sometimes the law is not absolutely fair.
It also needs to sentence Mahdi to death for political services.
For us The relationship with the Big Food Country has only disadvantages but no benefits, and the superiors do not want to fall out with the Big Food Country because of this matter.
Of course, the judges of the Dharma Temple will act based on the face of our king, so Mahdi will only be sentenced to five or eight years in prison at most, and no more than ten years at most.
If the Dashi Kingdom negotiates with our Western Qin, we will use something in exchange.
If so, the official may commute Mahdi’s sentence.
Even if he is imprisoned this month, he may be released next month.”
Zonaras looked a little ugly, "So Mahdi is very likely to get away with it, continue to be his prince after killing people, and may succeed to the throne as the Caliphate in the future."
"It is possible."
Wang Can nodded, "In fact, we, including my king, all hope to kill the Mahdi.
This man is too arrogant and warlike.
If he has the opportunity to succeed to the throne as the Caliph of the Great Eclipse, this will It is not a good thing for us in Western Qin and your Eastern Roman Empire.
But you also know that politics sometimes makes people very helpless.
Even my king cannot do whatever he wants.
However, although we cannot execute Mahdi, you have a chance. , I wonder if you are interested in hearing what I have to say."
Zonaras quickly said: "What do you think of this?
General, please tell me."
Wang Can said: "Although Mahdi was arrested by us, he was detained in the detention room of the patrol room until he was found guilty.
Only after he was found guilty would he be transferred to the prison to serve his sentence.
In terms of guard security, The patrol house is undoubtedly more relaxed than the prison More, if you are determined to get Mahdi away, you can only take the extreme method of kidnapping Mahdi from the detention room.
We can cooperate secretly, but this matter cannot be put on the table.
You and I are not on the same page.
Just declare it.
Even if you reveal it later, we won’t admit it.”
"Of course, of course, how could I bring this kind of thing to the table?
Wouldn't it be a slap in my own face?
General, you can rest assured."
Wang Can nodded and said: "That's good.
One more thing.
Those who participate in the operation must not use your own people.
You can hire mercenaries or other desperadoes.
The price will be higher.
I believe there are still people who are willing."
After you took the risk and brought the person back to the country, you only We can tell the outside world that we bought it from desperadoes, but cannot say that we sent people to snatch it back, otherwise we will never give up.
This matter is related to the dignity and face of a country.
If you, the Eastern Roman Empire, talk nonsense, Even if our country launches a war, we must regain this dignity.”

Zonaras smiled and said: "Your Majesty General, we are not that stupid to cause trouble for ourselves.
General, please rest assured that we will do it without leakage."
“That’s good” After Mahdi was arrested, Aziz was very anxious.
This was a prince.
If anything happened to Mahdi, he was afraid that he would not be able to go back.
He immediately came to find Zhao Ziliang, but was told that Zhao Ziliang had gone out to inspect local government affairs and was not here.
Hengluos.
Aziz had no choice but to immediately come to the Honglu Temple of the Foreign Affairs Office to find Liu Dan, the minister of Honglu.
Liu Dan was an old man who followed Zhao Ziliang.
When he was in Suiye Dudu Mansion, Liu Dan worked under Zhao Ziliang and was responsible for foreign affairs for a long time.
He often travels as envoys to various countries in the Western Regions and has a good understanding of the conditions of various countries in the Western Regions.
Liu Dan met Aziz, asked him to sit down and asked: "Your Excellency, the envoy, came to me today to have something to do."
Aziz said: "Mr.
Liu, my prince was arrested by your police and was imprisoned in the patrol room.
Do you know about this?"
Liu Dan nodded and said: "I heard it.
What I heard this morning is that I can't take care of criminal matters.
If you come to me because of this matter, you really have the wrong person."
Aziz said quickly: "No, no, no, Mr.
Liu, you are the Minister of Honglu Temple.
Of course you have the right to intervene in this matter.
This matter is related to the diplomatic relations between your two countries.
How can you not control it?
Please Please help me, I want to go to the patrol room to meet my prince."
Liu Shan said: "You can just go directly to the patrol room and ask to see the suspect.
You don't have to come to my place."
"I went, but the police officers told me that my prince's crime was too big and he was not allowed to visit.
I also asked Mr.
Liu to help me and say hello."
Liu Dan frowned and thought for a while, then agreed, "Okay, I'll send someone to accompany you to the patrol room."
"Thank you, Mr.
Liu" The next day, Aziz came to Liu Dan again and asked: "Master Liu, I heard that the Judicial Temple is preparing to try the case.
In your opinion, how will the Judicial Temple decide?"
Liu Dan shook his head and said: "If the sentence is based on laws and regulations, Prince Mahdi will probably be sentenced to death."
"What is this?
This is not okay.
If you sentence this, then the diplomatic relations between our two countries will be over.
No matter what, Prince Mahdi is still the prince of our country.
If your country sentences him to death, it will be a slap in the face of our country. , this will cause a serious diplomatic incident, and may also trigger a war.
I hope that your king and the government will consider it carefully."
Liu Dan said seriously: "Your Excellency, envoy, I hope you can understand that we will not accept any threats or intimidation.
We, the Tang Empire and the Western Qin Dynasty, have never had this tradition.
We did not have it in the past, we do not have it now, and we will not do it in the future."
If anyone wants to provoke a war, we in Western Qin will serve him After all, the law is the law, and it cannot be blasphemed.
We will not give up the punishment of Prince Mahdi just because we are threatened by your country.
