Chapter 1436: Meet the Former Governor
At midnight, Qin Yan rushed back, and he led people to catch Li Zhong's henchmen, almost a lot of even pots.
It turned out that after Li Zhong fell into the net, his accomplices were also righteous, and actually planned to rob the prison and rescue Li Zhong and Palmis together. But they also underestimated the spies of the Shenwu Army, and as soon as these people came out of hiding, they were noticed and monitored.
It wasn't until Qin Yan got the report and confirmed the identity of this group of people that he personally led people to wipe them out.
It's also ridiculous to say that they orchestrated the explosion of the armory, successfully deceived the Shenwu army, and finally wiped out the entire army because of something that was barely worth mentioning.
"Caught them all?"
Qin Jin was dealing with the official document that had been delayed due to an accident, and when he heard the report, he raised his head and asked lightly.
"None of them fell, and there were zero casualties, they didn't put up any decent resistance, and now that Li Zhong should regret the beginning!"
Speaking of Li Zhong, Qin Yan forbade his nose and asked:
"Does the prime minister really plan to bring Li Zhong back to Chang'an?"
Qin Jin nodded.
"It's just right to catch Li Zhong's accomplices, and you can also give an explanation to the people of Mulu City, so as not to stir up changes in the hearts of the people. Li Zhong knows a lot of secrets, take them back to Chang'an, squeeze them dry, and it's not too late to cut off his head!"
Hearing the three words of cutting off his head, Qin Yan thought that he had heard it wrong.
"So, the prime minister is going to kill this person?"
Qin Jin snorted deliberately.
"When do you think I've broken my word?"
He knows Qin Yan's character very well, and his grievances are clear, but he is also eager to repay him.
Li Zhong was doing something on his land, and he made such a big commotion, and dozens of people died, so he couldn't say anything about this account.
Now that he learned that Qin Jin would execute Li Zhong sooner or later, his heart was somewhat balanced.
"It's already the middle of the night, go and rest, the body is the biggest capital, the days ahead are still very long, if you can't wait for the pacification of Persia and your body is exhausted, do you regret it or should I be sad?"
Qin Yan was very moved by these words that were half concerned and half reproachful, but on the surface, he pretended to be a hippie smile.
"Prime Minister rest assured, my body is as hard as a stone, even if the stone is broken, my body can't collapse!"
It was already dawn, and this was the last day of Qin Jin's stay in Mulu City, so he didn't have time to rest more, so he simply squinted for an hour, and ran out to inspect again full of energy.
Qin Jin first went to the scene of the explosion and fire.
The stench of burning sulfur was filled with the stench of burning sulfur, and the entire armory had been burned to the ground, and the weapons and armor inside had been reduced to ashes, leaving only a lump of burnt iron.
The accompanying person said that after the iron lumps were collected, they could be re-smelted and forged.
As for the light armor of the cavalry made of leather, and the loss of longbows and arrows, it was difficult to recover.
The armory contained weapons and armor from Persian times, and after last night's explosion, there was not even a single one that could be used.
Fortunately, at the time of last night's explosion, it was the time for the change of shifts, and only a few dozen security forces were injured as a result, and most of them were suspected collaborators.
However, it was precisely because of this that almost no one in the Shenwu Army was present at that time, and it was exploited by the conspirators.
There was no need to rebuild the armory in situ, the building was so completely destroyed that it would have been better to put it in order to be flattened and used to build houses that were becoming increasingly scarce. As for the armory, which had to be rebuilt, it could be rebuilt in a new town that had been expanded by the reconstruction of the city walls.
In this way, it kills two birds with one stone, and the new city is mostly vacant land, and even new bazaars can be planned there, which not only avoids the old town, but also does not cause a large number of outsiders to flood the residential area and cause excessive security problems.
Of course, these are no longer issues that Qin Jin needs to think too much about, and Qin Yan and the people below him are planning.
The security forces at the scene were all withdrawn, and the soldiers of the Shenwu Army stood on the spot with solemn faces, in fact, there was no point in guarding this place anymore. They're just trying to make up for the face they lost last night.
This was a disaster caused by dereliction of duty, and Qin Jin did not blame them too much, nor did he say any words of comfort.
Until he left, he did not say a word to express his dissatisfaction with the soldiers and soldiers.
Next is the highlight of today's itinerary, Qin Jin visited the affected people's homes door-to-door.
For those whose houses and goods were destroyed, he personally sent clothes, food and condolences money, and repeatedly said that the Mulu City Hall would provide a certain degree of relief for all the losses caused by the disaster, so that no one would be displaced.
Some of them demanded that the murderer be severely punished, and Qin Jin also swore that he agreed, and revealed that the Shenwu army caught the arsonist that night, and only concealed the relationship with the deposed prince, and only declared that he was related to the Sogdians who rebelled in Shiguo.
As an important town in the east of the Ctesiphon court, Mulu City had a large number of Persians and cannibals, and had an instinctive hostility and prejudice against the Sogdians, who had always been unruly.
After learning that the murderer was related to the Sogdians, they were not surprised at all, and many even expressed their willingness to join the New Army to help the Shenwu Army put down the rebellion as soon as possible.
The fact that the crisis was so easily turned into a favorable factor enabled the people's hearts to be cohesive to a certain extent and the number of soldiers of the New Army increased to a considerable extent, which may be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
It was already noon when he left the scene of the disaster, and after a hasty bite of food, he rushed to the military camp outside the city to meet the former governor Abbas.
At this time, Abbas did not know anything about what was happening in Mulu City, and only vaguely guessed that there was a fire in the city through what he heard and saw during the night.
After all, he was an important person under surveillance, and the commander in charge kept everything secret from him until he was given an order.
Initially, Abbas was dissatisfied with his situation, but now he has gradually adapted to it, after all, no defeated person has been treated with the same degree of preferential treatment as in the Shenwu Army, and has not even suffered torture.
Man is such a strange animal, even a once high authority like Abbas, once he is knocked down from the altar and becomes a captive at the bottom, he can quickly get used to the reality of losing everything.
Qin Jin did not hide the disaster last night, and briefly described the incident of someone making trouble.
"There are spies from various countries in Mulu City, and it is inferred that they have been lurking in the city for a long time, how did Your Excellency prevent these people in the first place?"
This was not a mockery of Abbas, he hoped to gain some experience from the former governor of Khorasan to provide Qin Yan with a certain degree of help.
