Chapter 1422: The Prime Minister was suddenly assassinated
By the time we left the barracks and returned to our temporary accommodation, the rain had stopped. The streets of Mulu City were rejuvenated in an instant, and ordinary pedestrians and Persian traders selling daily necessities came out again.
Although they have just experienced the war, it is difficult to see how much confusion and numbness the people here have caused by the war.
On the contrary, Qin Jin could even detect a trace of longing for a better life in the enthusiasm of these people.
Since the occupation of Mulu City by the Shenwu army, it is rare to see large food merchants from the west, except for those who have been rooted in Anxi, and most of the people you can see in the markets and streets are Persians.
It was as if overnight, the power of the Great Cannibals had completely withdrawn from Persia, which had ruled for hundreds of years.
At this point, Qin Jin finally understood why Zamas had the idea of seeking Mulu City as the future capital in the first place. Of course, this kind of thought Zamas did not reveal to Qin Jin, and it was reported by the secret agents placed beside him.
The prosperity of Mulu City was far beyond Qin Jin's imagination, and before he paid attention to the Western Regions, he had not even heard of the name of Mulu City. Now it seems that Abbas did have a good reason for choosing this place as his governor's seat in the first place.
In comparison, other cities in Khorasan were either too small or too close to barbarian areas to be a suitable choice.
There is another point here that is very different from the Tang Dynasty. If there was a big man like Qin Jin in any city in the Tang Dynasty, it would inevitably attract a large number of people to watch, and even small traders with a keen sense of smell would rush over and sell more money while there were many people.
But the Persians were different, and they had little curiosity about foreign conquerors like them, and some might stop and take a closer look, but that was about it.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the catch, and Qin Jin's guards subconsciously protected him.
Even Qin Jin himself was taken aback, thinking that an assassin was planning to assassinate him.
But when he saw the shadow clearly, he felt that it would not be an assassin. Suddenly rushing out was a Persian woman with curly black hair, a beautiful and young Persian woman to be more precise.
Maybe a beautiful woman would not be born with a murderous aura, and the originally tense nerves of Qin Jin's guards suddenly relaxed again.
Some people think that this may be a woman who stands in the way and shouts grievances, after all, after the defeat of the Great Cannibal, the Persians who have been oppressed for many years must have a lot of grievances.
One of the guards lifted up the woman who had nearly fallen, and the woman was muttering something difficult to understand, her face covered with tears and fear.
This may really be a wronged woman, she even learned the etiquette of the Tang people and knelt down, and said something very quickly.
Qin Jin also followed Da Shi and Persian interpreters at all times, in order to deal with the locals anytime and anywhere.
Ordered someone to bring that woman closer, Qin Jin wanted to know what happened to this woman that would collide with his team?
After coming to Qin Jin's front, the woman's panic seemed to be even more serious, and some said incoherently that her brother and husband were gone, and the family's belongings were gone......
Although the interpreter tried very hard to translate the woman's words, they were still some intermittent sentences that could not be formed into sentences.
Even so, it was enough, Qin Jin could already vaguely guess that this might be one of the series of disturbing incidents caused by the Shenwu Army after it entered Mulu City.
Qin Jin has always attached great importance to the relationship between the Shenwu army and the locals, and has always severely punished the generals and soldiers who disturb the people.
Now seeing that this woman has reached the point of risking the road and crying out for grievances, I feel that it is necessary to investigate the cause and effect clearly.
If it was a misunderstanding, everyone would naturally be happy, but there were really a few Shenwu Army officers and soldiers behind the scenes, which would inevitably make the sword of the Military Justice Department bloody.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin dismounted and came to the young woman, intending to inquire carefully, but suddenly felt that there was a flower in front of him, as if something with a bright light was coming straight to his chest.
Qin Jin retreated backwards in shock, but his body lost his balance due to excessive force, and he fell to the ground.
It was this fall that allowed him to dodge the dagger that flew over.
The dagger cut through the skin of a war horse's leg, but in the blink of an eye, the war horse actually foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. The dagger was clearly fed with poison that sealed the throat with blood.
At this time, Qin Jin's guards also reacted from the initial shock, and rushed forward to twist the young woman who was about to throw a second dagger.
A woman is a woman after all, and her strength is much smaller than that of a man, and it only takes a few strokes to cut her arms backwards and tie them with a thumb-thick cow tendon rope to tie them into a strong knot.
The guards found three more daggers from her wide dress, all fed with poison.
At this point, the woman completely removed her disguise, and her expression of fear and sadness was swept away, replaced by resentment and hatred. The young body struggled and writhed, looking strangely beautiful, but as deadly as a viper
After escaping from danger at this point, Qin Jin broke out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, I am afraid that he would have died in this Mulu City today.
He sighed secretly, and an indescribable embarrassment and frustration welled up in his heart, for perhaps it was not much different in the eyes of the Persians as the conqueror who had driven away the conqueror.
There was a sudden riot in the streets, and pedestrians and vendors gradually gathered around to watch.
Seeing that more and more people gathered, the guards were even more nervous, thinking that everyone was suspected of assassinating the prime minister.
Qin Jin also knew that it was not appropriate to stay on the street for a long time at this time, so he quickly returned to his temporary residence with his entourage guards.
It was once a luxurious residence of Abbas, the governor of Khorasan, and Qin Jin did not live here because of its luxury, but because it was surrounded by walls more than three people high, and it was a very safe place in the city.
Qin Yan soon learned of Cheng's assassination, and he rushed to interrogate the captured woman in person.
The woman's teeth are very tight, and she has not said a word since she was beaten and imprisoned, and no matter how much the interrogators threaten and intimidate, it has no effect in the slightest.
Qin Yan is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he planned to use torture at that time, he didn't believe that there was anyone who could survive the torture and not confess.
But the prison guard's reminder made him a little discouraged, because Qin Jin had specially confessed that it was best not to use torture, and it was best to use relatively mild means to force him to confess.
It is important to find out why this Persian woman has such a desperate hatred for her on the premise of low damage.
