Chapter 1423: The Prime Minister Tries the Prisoner
Even if Persian women were not tortured to extract confessions, the Shenwu Army's intelligence system had many ways to find out the identity and background of the assassins. In less than an hour, the basic identity of this person was placed in front of Qin Yan.
On the surface, the Persian woman came from an ordinary merchant family and had a nice name, Palmis. This is a typical ancient Persian name, since the Great Cannibals conquered Persia, the vast majority of Persian names have gradually become great food.
Palmis's family's insistence on using Persian names is a testament to their commitment to their own ethnic identity.
"Any more detailed information?"
Qin Yan is also the leader of the intelligence system, and the secret agents all over Mulu City have to listen to him.
"Back to the general's words, this Persian family is a little outlied, there is very little contact with the outside world, and the family road seems to be in the middle, and most of the time they make a living by selling their property!"
"Sell your property?"
This news made him a little unbelievable, there are a number of big merchants in Mulu City, although the family of Palmis is not as good as those families who are attached to the big cannibals, but the rotten ship also has three catties of nails, and it will not rely on selling the ancestral property to make a living!
He suspected that there was something behind this, so he sent another spy to investigate the inside story, but in the end he came to the same conclusion as before.
In desperation, the breakthrough had to be placed on the Persian woman named Palmis.
At first glance, the Persian woman is pampered, with fair and delicate skin, elegant and moving manners, even if she is in prison, her words and deeds unconsciously reveal the demeanor that a daughter of a rich and noble family should have.
It's a pity that Qin Yan is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he sneered and came to the outside of the cell where Palmis was imprisoned, he has a hundred ways to make this woman miserable, to see how she can maintain this arrogance and coldness.
Qin Yan personally selected a few torture tools in the torture room, but his subordinates reminded him in a low voice:
"General, the prime minister said, don't torture that woman!"
Qin Yan glanced at his subordinates and reprimanded:
"What do you know? The prime minister pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and our subordinates can't let the prime minister come to him......"
Even a fool understands what is going on, but it seems not surprising that the prime minister has taken a fancy to this tall Persian woman.
Qin Yan thought about it for a while, and then said to his subordinates:
"You go and pick a few Persian beauties of this type, you have to pick them yourself, and then send them to the prime minister......"
He has never seen the prime minister meet a few women, and he can't take care of it because he is busy with military affairs, but this kind of thing is like the rising and setting of the moon, it is an unavoidable natural law, if a man in his youth is pure-hearted, this is not a good thing.
The subordinates went out in understanding, and they also felt that Qin Yan guessed correctly, Cheng took pity on this assassin, maybe he hadn't touched a woman for a long time.
Before dark, Qin Jin received four Persian beauties, and from the eyes of the people, these women were indeed beautiful and moving.
In particular, the Tang people, who had little contact with Persian women, were all attracted by this exotic atmosphere.
When Qin Jin learned that this was arranged by Qin Yan, he couldn't help but smile, this guy may be mistaken about himself, but it is really a pleasant thing to have a few beauties on the side.
At this time, he remembered the Persian woman who assassinated him, so he asked Qin Yan's general, who came to send the beauty in person:
"How's the Assassin's investigation, but what's the progress?"
"Prime Minister, there is nothing suspicious on the surface, but the more suspicious it is, this is doubtful in itself, otherwise how would a pampered woman dare to assassinate the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?"
Qin Jin nodded, this person's analysis is indeed reasonable, but it cannot be concluded that there is an ulterior conspiracy behind it.
His intuition told him that the problem might not be as complicated as he imagined, that Mulu City was on the edge of the mouth of the Great Eclipse Force, and that even with an iron-fisted governor like Abbas in office, he would inevitably have less control over the Persians than those cities in the West.
"Let's go, lead the way, I'll see for myself!"
"This ......"
The general hesitated, and he suddenly remembered that Qin Yan might be torturing the Persian woman at this time, and it would not be a good thing if he was seen by the prime minister in person.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Jin's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
"Yes, Prime Minister, please go with the general!"
After arriving at the cell, there was no scene of torture, and through the iron fence in the window, the Persian woman could be seen lying on the bed facing the wall and clothes.
It was a clean and tidy cell, and the clothes on his body were not messy, so he should not have been tortured.
The subordinate general breathed a sigh of relief, and his own master would finally not be blamed by the prime minister for this.
Qin Yan is not here, it is said that he hurried out after receiving the secret report, as for where he went, no one here can say clearly.
This is also very normal, the guards in the prison naturally cannot know the whereabouts of the town guard, not to mention that their actions often need to be kept secret from inside and outside, let alone easily said.
At this moment, Qin Jin didn't care what Qin Yan had done, he had his own things to deal with, if he had to ask everything, he would have been exhausted to death.
The Persian woman's body stiffened and moved, presumably sensing that someone outside the cell was watching her.
"Unlock the door. ”
The sound of the door lock completely woke up the woman, and the woman quickly sat up, lowered her head and said nothing, her hands were unnaturally placed on her thighs, looking cramped and uneasy, where was the shadow of an outlaw assassin.
Qin Jin sighed secretly, this woman should have enjoyed the glory and wealth at home, but why did she come to do this thing of sending her to death?
Just standing quietly like this, no one spoke, Qin Jin had been paying close attention to the reaction of the Persian woman, but she kept her head down, her long black curly hair covering most of her face, and she couldn't see what her expression was.
"The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is here, and he still doesn't bow down?"
A shout from the interpreter broke the silence of the cell.
This interpreter is a Persian, who has been a merchant in Anxi all the year round, so he is proficient in Chinese, and was selected as one of the interpreters around Qin and Jin.
The Persian woman was startled, and obediently got up and knelt on the ground again, her shoulders slightly shrugged, as if she was crying.
So well-behaved and obedient that the guards in the cell thought they had caught the wrong person.
"Why did you assassinate me? Do you know who I am?"
Qin Jin asked lightly.
At this moment, a military official rushed to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Suddenly, Qin Jin's complexion changed, and he suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"When did this happen?"
