Chapter 1298: Traces of Chaos

"Please leave the city immediately, Sylvan houses are narrow and crowded, and the neighbors are scattered, if the spies intend to set fires, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ge Hongye has been guarding here for a while, and he usually thinks about all kinds of problems that may be encountered, so when he realized that there was a high possibility of spies in the city, the first thing he thought of was the worst outcome, which was arson!

A small town like Silvan, which has developed into a settlement, is not only not neatly planned, but also does not have simple measures to set fires, and once a fire breaks out, it is extremely terrible.

Qin Jin was also aware of the possible consequences of the fire, and felt that it was better to stay in the city than to return to the barracks.

So he ordered someone to tell Cui Yin to leave Sylfan and spend the night in the barracks, while quietly climbing down the city wall with a small number of followers.

This was done at Ge Hongye's suggestion, because he wanted to make the spies mistakenly think that Qin Jin was still in the city, and then cast a net to arrest people.

For this reason, Ge Hongye also specially borrowed 500 guards from Qin Jin, plus the 500 infantry troops originally stationed in the city, a whole thousand people were enough to turn the little Silfan upside down.

Qin Jin returned to the military camp outside the city without danger, but he didn't see Cui Yin out of the city for a long time. The situation was as Ge Hongye expected, and the spies set fire to it.

The cacophony, screams, and clanging crashes made the night extraordinarily unpeaceful.

However, since Ge Hongye had already made arrangements two hours in advance, it could be regarded as prepared, although it was not sufficient, but it was enough to deal with it.

Now he is only worried about Cui Yin's life and death, Cui Yin, as the representative of the family's gate valve in the Western Regions, if he dies just after he arrives, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of shadows to the children of the family who have plans to go west in the future.

But the matter has come to this, Qin Jin can only wait and see, waiting for Ge Hongye's military report.

After his observation, Ge Hongye is a person who is rough and fine, rough on the outside and fine on the inside, and once he is prepared, he will definitely deal with it properly.

The night was extremely difficult, and finally the sky brightened, and the noise in the city finally faded, and although the smoke was bursting, the fire did not turn into a fire that destroyed the whole city.

It can be said that the fire is under control, and all that remains is to wait for the good news of the arrest of the spies.

However, what Qin Jin and others came was Ge Hongye's request for permission to establish a private enterprise.

It turned out that although the fire was brought under control that night, about half of the city's residents still had their houses and property burned by the fire, and if these people were left alone, it would definitely cause instability in law and order.

Rather than this, it is better to take the opportunity to implement the "private" policy.

Qin Jin smiled bitterly, he had long heard that the "city lord" of Sylvan had the idea of establishing a private enterprise, but it was rejected by the subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now it seems that it should be this Ge Hongye. But here and now, it is an excellent time to set up a private sector to resettle displaced refugees.

In fact, the establishment of a private sector is extremely beneficial to the Shenwu Army, which can concentrate manpower and material resources to the greatest extent, and at the same time can brainwash in the form of indoctrination, so as to guide the people's hearts and minds, and finally achieve the goal of maximizing the strength in the shortest possible time.

However, while there are positive aspects to doing this, there are side effects.

But before there is a better choice, only in this way can the Shenwu Army be invincible.

"Where is Ge Hongye, let him come to see me!"

Ge Hongye didn't rush to see Qin Jin at the first time, but he asked his subordinates to send the person that Qin Jin had been thinking about, that is, Cui Yin.

It turned out that Cui Yin took his entourage to put out the fire as soon as he learned that the spy was arson, but the development of the fire was difficult to control, and many people fainted with thick smoke, including Cui Yin.

Fortunately, he was rescued in time, and the firefighting team set up by Ge Hongye was placed in a small open space in the city.

It wasn't until dawn that the wounded envoy entourage was sent to Qin Jin's military camp with Cui Yin.

Seeing that Cui Yin's body was fine, Qin Jin relieved himself, this person is very useful, and he will make him a typical example of the family gate valve rooted in the Western Regions in the future.

When Cui Yin woke up, he found himself in the military camp, and he got up on his feet and asked about the situation in Yeerfan City.

Up to now, Qin Jin only knew that the situation in the city was under control, and as for the specifics, he had to wait for Ge Hongye's detailed military report.

But now that Ge Hongye is busy hitting the back of his head, he has not had time to make a detailed military report, which is naturally understandable.

Qin Jin asked Lang Zhong, who was with the army, to carefully examine Cui Yin to see if he had any hidden injuries that were not easy to detect, until he confirmed that this was Cui Yin with a full beard and a full tail, and then took him to the tower in the barracks.

In both China and abroad, a tall tower will be erected in the barracks to monitor the surrounding situation and ensure the safety of the barracks.

Standing on the tower, you can clearly see the situation inside the city, the smoke after the fire has not completely dissipated, and the burned ruins in the city are still faintly visible.

Qin Jin squinted his eyes and carefully observed the extent of the fire in the city, it seemed that it was far more serious than he imagined, at least half of the houses were burned, even if the spy did not achieve his goal, at least there was a lot of trouble.

Cui Yin gritted his teeth, he was still a fledgling novice, so he naturally couldn't tolerate any of the enemy's success.

"The spy is cunning, and he set fire to the city, but fortunately the prime minister's garrison is outside the city, otherwise it will ......."

He didn't dare to imagine that if Qin Jin hadn't come out of the city last night, if it had just burned down Qin Jin's residence by fire......

After observation, the residence where Qin Jin was supposed to live last night was indeed overburned, but it was not completely burned down.

"The prime minister should punish the city lord for his crimes, so as to warn the officials who neglect their duties!"

Qin Jin was noncommittal, if there was such a big problem, Ge Hongye naturally couldn't escape the blame, but he didn't intend to investigate it deeply, and it was more important than punishment to learn a lesson. What's more, now is the time to employ people, a person like Ge Hongye who is both loyal and capable is already rare, how can he be severely punished for the sake of severe punishment?

"Prime Minister, please allow the villain to enter the city to assist the Shenwu Army in arresting the spies......"

Cui Yin's performance was a little impatient, a little different from when he met before, and Qin Jin couldn't help but be secretly disappointed. If Cui Yin is an impetuous person, it is not suitable to be a typical example of this Western Regions family.

But Qin Jin was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, because everyone was complex, and it was impossible to conclude just one or two sides or one or two things, and it would eventually have to be determined through various tests.

Qin Jin originally wanted to refuse, but after a change of thought, he agreed, arresting the spy is a top priority, if the spy is mixed into the "private sector", there will be a hidden danger, I don't know when it will break out.

It's better to let Cui Yin dig up potential spies!
