The conversation between Palmis and Li Zhong confirmed Qin Jin's conjecture, and it seems that Li Zhong is really a lover, to the point where he can die willingly for his sweetheart.

However, none of this can undo the sins he has committed. Just last night, hundreds of families lost their homes and possessions because of him, and dozens lost their lives because of him.

It is a matter of course to repay debts and kill people to pay for their lives, no matter what, from the moment Li Zhong stepped into this mansion, his life no longer belonged to him.

Coldly watching these two people say something irrelevant, Qin Jin did not rush to interrupt, because this was already the last warmth they could enjoy, if Palmis could be forgiven, then Li Zhong would definitely have to pay the corresponding price for the crimes he committed and be punished as he deserved.

"Even if I die here, I want you to go out safe and sound, remember, don't think about revenge after you go out, the prime minister of Datang is not something you can fight against...... After you go out, find one, find a good person to marry, and An An will live this life for the rest of his life......"

Li Zhong, who has always been calm and wise, seemed to have some difficulty stammering when he spoke at this time.

Palmis stepped forward and hugged Li Zhong, who was covered in blood, his body twitching and crying.

"No, no, I won't marry anyone but you......"

Qin Yan, who was tired of watching this time, pouted greatly, did the two thieves rebel in vain trying to win sympathy in this way? In his opinion, there was nothing to trade with Li Zhong, and the two of them were pulled out together, and they were beheaded as adulterers*, which was the most suitable result.

It's just that he has a hunch that this time the prime minister may be soft-hearted again.

Qin Jin didn't relent, he just planned to make this deal with Li Zhong, if there was enough reason for this deal.

After a long time, Li Zhong calmed the crying Palmis and raised his head to look at Qin Jin.

"Can you change places, let's talk alone!"

Qin Jin naturally complied with his proposal, and changed to the cell next to him, where Li Zhong was placed on a bed by two people.

Because of the wound on his body, he inhaled and grinned in pain.

"Will you promise to spare Palmis?"

Qin Jin was noncommittal, and only said:

"Your conversation can be seen as a bargain, or as a prayer to me, and the fate of Palmis is only in my thoughts!"

After finishing speaking, the silence in the cell fell like death, and finally Li Zhongxian couldn't hold his breath and sighed softly.

"Okay, I can tell you about the deposed prince, he is indeed in Shiguo, and he has made contact with a certain big man in Chang'an, and the current rebellion is to drag the prime minister, and there is enough time for some kind of change to happen in Chang'an!"

Qin Jin sneered.

"How can I believe your words alone, and even if I could believe them, I am afraid it would not be enough for me to fulfill your prayers, right?"

Li Zhong was not in a hurry, and said slowly:

"What if I can help you find out those people in Chang'an?"

Hearing this, Qin Jin narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was really a cunning guy, I am afraid that he still had the luxury of hoping to return to Chang'an alive.

"If the prime minister can allow me to return to Chang'an alive, those rats hiding in the cave, I will find them out one by one and put them in front of the prime minister!"

Qin Jin did not reply directly, but continued to ask:

"Why did you betray the abolished prince, is it just for that woman?"

It was only at this time that Li Zhong laughed a little presumptuously, his teeth were stained with blood, and he looked embarrassed and hideous.

"How can the prime minister forget, I am a mercenary businessman? I don't care if I am loyal to anyone, and I do things for the deposed prince because he can't refuse the price he offers. What's so strange about me betraying this man now for the sake of Palmis?"

"Including giving up your own life? Don't be lucky, even if you let you return to Chang'an alive, the crimes you have borne will be unforgivable! Otherwise, wouldn't those dozens of resentful souls who died in the fire never be able to turn a blind eye?"

At this moment, Qin Jin's eyes when he looked at Li Zhong were full of disdain and contempt. Although this person's name has a loyal character in it, it is obviously inconsistent with the truth, as a mercenary businessman, he can even sacrifice innocent people all over the city.

In his plan, the fire would spread throughout the city, eventually causing the entire city to be burned down. It's just that I didn't expect the Shenwu Army to act quickly and extinguish the fire caused by the explosion of the *warehouse at an extremely fast speed.

But even so, more than forty people died in the fire, and they all fell victim to the greed in this guy's heart.

Even if Li Zhong was willing to sacrifice himself for his beloved, in the face of all the previous evil deeds, he would not be able to win back the slightest favor for him here in Qin Jin.

Knowing the chips in Li Zhong's hands, Qin Jin had no need to continue to talk with him, and ordered someone to take him into custody and deal with the wounds on his body by the way, so that he would not die of infection before he arrived in Chang'an.

Qin Yan found that the head of the family was sullen, so he whispered:

"What did that guy say again?"

"The abolished prince has collusion with some important people in Chang'an, and he may need to be brought back and identified one by one!"

Qin Yan took a sip.

"Cheap guy!"

Qin Jin said coldly:

"Sooner or later, he will inevitably let that Persian woman come to see me!"

Leaving the musty cell, Palmis was then escorted out and sent to a room in Qin Jinping's office.

The Persian woman's skin was very white, her long black hair was slightly curled, and her facial contours were outlined, and her hands were rubbing uneasily in front of her, showing her inner crampedness and uneasiness.

"Are your father and brother dead?"

Qin Jin's habitual directing to the topic caught this woman off guard.

She looks like a strong person, but in fact she is weak and vulnerable inside.

Thinking of loving his father and brother, hatred is still no match for sadness, and tears are falling down.

"What's their name? Maybe they're still on the list of prisoners, and they're in a coolie camp somewhere. ”

Originally, Palmis had long been distraught, thinking that his father and brother could not survive at all, and must have died in the damned East. But Qin Jin's words made her stunned, and although she had many doubts in her heart, a glimmer of hope still rose.

"Really, Honorable Prime Minister, if my father and brother were still alive...... I'm willing to trade everything for their freedom!"

Qin Jin spread his hands, he knew that Persia had a tradition of ransom prisoners of war, and those who were captured in battle could pay a certain amount of ransom in exchange for freedom.
