This situation is obviously more serious than what you see, even if the person who heard the news has not returned, Qin Jin can already conclude that there should be an accident in the warehouse where * is stored.

Moreover, this accident must not be a small accident, I'm afraid that all the * stored in Mulu City will be burned tonight.

After about a quarter of an hour, the officer ran in in a panic.

Sure enough, there was an accident in the armory of Mulu City, and the explosion caused all the weapons and armor in the armory to be destroyed.

"The fire is still spreading, General Qin has dispatched the security army to rush over to put out the fire, it will take a certain amount of time to clear out the isolation zone, and it is expected that the loss will not be low!"

On the east side of the armory's walls was a densely populated area, and the fire was spreading in this direction with the help of the wind, and if not controlled, it could cause a fire that could burn the entire city.

Qin Jin couldn't sit still, Huo Ran got up, and planned to go to the fire to see the situation in person.

But the officers stopped him.

"General Qin has explained, I am afraid that there will be thieves who will take advantage of the chaos to assassinate, and it is better for the prime minister to stay here, in case it ......"

The military official considered his tone and spoke very slowly, and Qin Jin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, if I don't make trouble for you, just tell Qin Yan that someone must be sent to report the specific situation in half an hour!

"Prime Minister Xie is considerate, and he will retire at the end!"

After the military officer went out, Qin Jin climbed a tower in the house surrounded by guards. The tower is three stories high, and you can see most of Mulu City from the top floor.

At this time, the firelight had already reflected half of the sky, and Qin Jin looked at it worriedly, he could only be anxious, but he couldn't help anything.

He suddenly thought of Li Zhong, a merchant, what if this person's target in the first place was not the granary at all, what if the target they had planned to attack from the beginning was the armory?

This thought suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and Qin Jin was almost 100% sure that Li Zhong had previously used a trick in front of them, allowing the security army to catch some suspicious people near the granary, so as to convince the Shenwu army that the target they intended to attack was the granary.

In fact, the armory is the real target of the conspirators.

The killer weapon of the Shenwu Army is artillery, with the power and deterrence of artillery, the Shenwu Army is invincible in the Western Regions, and has almost never lost a battle.

By now, many people have also understood the importance of * to the Shenwu Army, and someone hit the idea on the armory stored*.

Destroyed*, the artillery of the Shenwu Army will be reduced to broken copper and iron.

Without artillery, the Shenwu Army may become a tiger without its fangs in the eyes of those conspirators.

Qin Jin's face was ugly, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Was he being too merciful to those who objected?

In the past, no matter whether they were fighting head-on enemies or rebels, as long as the gaffes were quelled, the vast majority of people would be forgiven and given a chance to mend their ways.

This has created an illusion that the Shenwu Army has always been soft-handed, even if some enemies are repeatedly against it, they don't have much psychological baggage, and they won't worry about fierce retaliation.

Now is the time to change this stereotype, and to take this opportunity to kill a group of rebels and warn those who have no fear in their hearts.

However, what he is most worried about now is whether the fire can be controlled, if he can't pull up the isolation firebreak in the residential area in time, Mulu City is likely to not be able to save it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he immediately summoned the guards.

"Bring some people, go control the merchants, and see how they react!"

"Obey the Prime Minister's orders!"

He believed that the explosion at the armory must have been planned by Li Zhong and his gang, and even if it was not planned by them, it must have something to do with it.

Li Zhong's origin is feasible, and his actions and words are very strange, if this person is okay, then it is hell.

Soon, the guards sent back the news that more than half of Li Zhong and the others were no longer in the inn, and they had to continue to investigate where they were.

Knowing that Li Zhong was missing, Qin Jin's heart was already clear, these guys saw that the conspiracy succeeded, there was no point in staying, and when would they wait if they didn't escape overnight?

However, Li Zhong and the others were able to escape unconsciously under heavy and close surveillance, and it seemed that they really underestimated their abilities.

"Prime Minister, do you want to inform General Qin that the whole city is locked up and Li Zhong is locked?"

Qin Jin shook his head.

As far as Qin Yan is concerned, the most important thing is to put out the fire, if he can't control the fire, even if he catches Li Zhong, what's the point? Besides, after the explosion of the armory, the city has become a pot of porridge, and if Li Zhong has the intention to take advantage of the chaos to escape, trying to catch him is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In this case, it is better to use the limited manpower to fight fires.

At this time, the captain of the Shenmu Military Academy, who was in charge of guarding the house, ascended the tower.

"Prime Minister, there are people outside asking to see you!"

"Who wants to see you?"

Mulu City has a curfew at night, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come out and walk, who can ignore the curfew?

"Someone who came called himself Li Zhong!"

"Li Zhong?"

Qin Jin was taken aback, this person is really bold, isn't he afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the net?

"Bring it in, let him wait in the living room, and send someone to keep a close watch!"

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Isn't the prime minister going to see him? Is there something wrong with this person?"

Qin Jin was noncommittal, and only let the captain act according to his words.

There is no need to see Li Zhong for the time being, and he expects that this guy must have the intention of provoking or confusing himself when he asks to see him at this time.

Then, the best way now is to control him, and then neither meet nor dispose of him, and wait until Qin Yan has a specific investigation result before dealing with it.

It is undeniable that Li Zhong is a smart man, but it would be a bit foolish to think that anyone is obliged to cooperate with his tricks.

After confirming that it was indeed Li Zhong who was asking to see outside, and that Li Zhong and his people had been controlled, Qin Jin's mind turned elsewhere.

Before dawn, he began to think about the aftermath of the explosion and fire, including how to pacify the affected people and minimize the impact as much as possible.

Also, if the conspirators are able to detonate the * in the armory, they must have hidden spies in the Shenwu Army or the Security Army.

In addition to those that have been exposed, there are also those who have not been exposed, and what methods should be used to find out and severely punish them so as to set an example.

Comparatively speaking, the possibility of the Shenwu Army mixing into spies is extremely low, after all, most of its soldiers are from good families in Guanzhong, and only the composition of the security army is relatively complex, even if some people with impure minds are mixed.

This night, time seemed to pass very slowly, and it was not until the fire in the distance gradually dimmed and the sky turned white, that Qin Jin breathed a long sigh of relief.
