The fire in Mulu City was brought under control, and Qin Yan rushed back to the former governor's mansion before sunrise and entered the house with the smell of fireworks.

I saw that his body and face were covered with black ash, and the sweat on his cheeks dripped, and he looked very embarrassed.

"It's been found out, the security forces who assisted in guarding the armory have made a spite, and the last general arrested five people last night, and how many spies and gendarmes are still under investigation!"

Qin Jin knew that the composition of the security army was complicated, but he didn't expect to be rebelled by the conspirators so quickly, it seems that a strict political review is still necessary, even if it will affect the number of soldiers.

"The security forces that were in the armory last night, I suggest that the whole system be abolished, and everyone present must be examined and dismissed after confirming that there is no suspicion!"

Such a security force with a bad record is no longer suitable to exist as an assistant army, they are more trusted and reused, otherwise they would not have been sent to assist the Shenwu Army in guarding the armory.

"Arrested criminals should be interrogated as soon as possible, and their lives can be spared if necessary, but more spies hidden in the security forces must be uncovered!"

Qin Jin's speed of speech was very fast, he was still going to leave Mulu City one day, and now that such an accident had happened, it was really not a good thing.

"Don't worry, the prime minister, those spies will definitely be found out one by one, and the criminals will not be forgiven, they must be punished as they deserve!"

As he spoke, Qin Yan gritted his teeth. These guys don't make trouble sooner or later, but they wait for the prime minister to pass by Mulu City before they make trouble, doesn't this embarrass him?

In fact, he had already moved to kill last night, and now he only needs the prime minister to nod and agree.

It's just that Qin Jin has always been quite merciful to his opponents, and Qin Yan is not completely sure to convince him.

However, Qin Jin took the initiative to mention it.

"In the past, we were too merciful and conniving with our opponents, but now it's time to deter them with an iron fist!"

"The prime minister is wise!"

"Was the damage in the city severe, and how many people were affected by the fire?"

"Fortunately, the fire barrier was put in place in time, the fire did not spread, and the number of people affected and homeless is probably hundreds, and the specific number is still being counted. The last general has already arranged for people to provide temporary shelter for these affected people, as well as to provide water and food. ”

"You have done a good job of compensating the affected people, especially the houses damaged when the fire barrier was installed, and you must not provoke the dissatisfaction of the locals. This is also an opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people! If handled properly, a bad thing may become a good thing!"

Qin Yan nodded repeatedly.

"How much is left of the Shenwu Army in the city?"

"This explosion burned about 30% of the fire, most of the Shenwu Army* were stored in the barracks, and the armory was sent by the local manufacturing office, and it had not yet had time to be assigned to the army...... Therefore, the rebels think that blowing up the armory will make our firearms battalion incapacitated, I am afraid it is a bit wishful thinking!"

Qin Jin snorted and said:

"Those people should know some about the firearms of my Shenwu Army, you say, can it be related to the group of people who rebelled in Shiguo?"

According to reliable information, the rebels of Shiguo are indeed under the banner of deposing the crown prince Li Yu, and now Li Zhong and other businessmen have infiltrated the city, and there is a high probability that they are connected with it.

"By the way, that Li Zhong threw himself into the net, I have already ordered someone to take care of him, and in a while, you and I will go to interrogate him personally and see what he has to say!"

"What? How is this possible?"

Qin Yan's eyes widened and he looked at Qin Jin in disbelief.

Qin Jin nodded, confirming that it was correct.

"I don't understand, this person can take advantage of the chaos to escape, what is the reason for him to come back? I really can't find a reasonable reason to explain it. ”

"There must be something wrong with this man, the last general had already sent someone to arrest him last night, and before the sergeant arrived, the main people involved had already left, and those who remained were some guys who didn't know the truth, most of them were hired in Anxi and other places...... Presumably, there must be a lot of such spies in Anxi, and after the prime minister arrives in Anxi, he must warn the local officials and wipe them out!"

Since it's a spy, it's not so easy to catch, unless something emergency happens, and these people are exposed together, like the explosion of the armory last night.

Qin Jin also wanted to find out what the origin of this Li Zhong was, but judging from this person's performance, it would definitely not be as easy as imagined to pry his mouth open.

"I'll talk about Anxi's affairs later, now let's go see that Li Zhong!"

At this time, Li Zhong had been transferred from the living room to the prison cell. Through the observation hole in the stone wall, you can see him sitting leisurely, as if he is not worried or anxious about his situation.

This is really a calm guy, often the more such a person, the more great things can be achieved.

Why should such a courageous person die for the thief?

Even Qin Yan couldn't help but feel this emotion and regret in his heart.

With a loud bang, the iron door of the cell was opened.

Abbas built such well-equipped cells in his private homes that he was brutal and iron-fisted in dealing with his opponents, but now he has been stripped of everything for the use of the conquerors in the East.

Li Zhong raised his head and looked at the door, his eyes did not fluctuate, as if he had long expected Qin Jinhui to come in person.

"Last night's explosion and fire, if I guessed correctly, was your masterpiece, right?"

Qin Yan asked.

Li Zhong smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying it.

"You must not have come to see me just to ask this question, did you?"

"You could have escaped, so why did you throw yourself into the net?"

However, this question made Li Zhong's eyes flash a trace of undetectable strangeness.

I saw him say slowly:

"I came back to make a deal with the prime minister!"

"What leverage do you have to trade? You've got enough guilt on your shoulder! If there were no accidents, you'd die soon!"

Qin Jin's attitude seemed to be very gentle, and he even said it lightly.

At this point, Li Zhong smiled bitterly, which can be regarded as admitting the desperate situation he is in.

"Who says I have to live after I make a deal?"

This surprised Qin Jin, Li Zhong returned to the net, he didn't care about his life and death, it seems that the deal he wants to do must be more important than his life.

What is it that can make Li Zhong more important than his own life?

Qin Jin was not in a hurry to ask, and only quietly waited for Li Zhong to say it himself.

Sure enough, Li Zhong didn't rub too much time and quickly said a person's name......
