Long.

Yi Xingchen sat quietly in his chair, facing a short blade and a map on the table in his bedroom. This was the main item that Xinghua's guards found from the captured assassins.

Although the threat of infiltration in the City Lord's Mansion had been lifted, Yi Xingchen was not at ease in his heart, more than that, only depressed and sad.

He developed a strong hatred for the Assassins who had broken into the palace, who had come for a bounty and had cost the lives of three of his Xinghua soldiers.

After being silent for a long time, Yi Xingchen calmed his voice and explained the aftermath of the three Xinghua soldiers who died to the Xinghua guards who reported to him beside him: "Put their bodies properly and send them back to Xinghua City for burial." For their families, we should also make the best arrangements for personnel. ”

"His Majesty the King!" The captain of the palace guards and the officers on duty of the Xinghua Royal Legion, when they heard His Majesty's compassionate arrangements for his subordinates, their hearts were filled with the grief of losing their colleagues, and they were immediately comforted, and under the excitement, the two responded to Yi Xingchen in unison.

Yi Xingchen didn't have much mind to look at the items in front of him anymore, so he waved his hand and asked the guards to take them all out.

The next day, James took the report on the results of the clean-up operation and asked to see Yi Xingchen again.

"Your Majesty, the Intelligence Bureau cooperated with the Xinghua Army to arrest a total of 1,356 people from the Nantucheng family, and also captured 36 suspected espionage, and another 56 spies, resisted arrest on the spot and were killed by the Xinghua Army......" James closed the report and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, how should we deal with them?"

Yi Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "We don't have enough prisons right now. These people are being held. So. The way to deal with this matter does not need to be too conservative. Those die-hard elements who are loyal to the king of Dongli, since they have chosen to distinguish them, there is only one disposition - public execution. As for the rest of the prisoners, the men were thrown into the mines of Xinghua City to work to atone for their sins, and the women were separated from the young children, and the women were trained and given to the Xinghua army. As mothers-in-law, children are sent to Xinghua Welfare Institute, unified upbringing, loyalty education, and improve their sense of belonging to Xinghua country. ”

"Xinghua Welfare Institute?" James didn't know when Xinghua Kingdom would start to have this new institution, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"A welfare home to be established in each city, temporarily located in Xinghua City. Yi Xingchen saw his questioning appearance, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. The haze in my heart has also been eliminated a little. No wonder James didn't know, because this welfare home only existed in Yi Xingchen's brain for the time being. Of course, it will soon become a reality.

When James heard this, he no longer had any doubts.

After thinking about it, Yi Xingchen continued: "We must pay special attention to one thing, it is very important to screen the true composition of prisoners, if there is any mistake, it will have a great impact, so we must not take it lightly in the slightest." This matter is mainly responsible for your intelligence bureau, with the cooperation of the Xinghua Army. ”

James understood what Yi Xingchen meant by his mouth that had a great impact.

First of all, Yi Xingchen's instruction to dispose of prisoners is classified according to the identity of the prisoners, if there is a slight sloppiness in the screening process, which leads to mistakes, it is very likely to kill others by mistake, and lose the good people who were originally willing to surrender in vain.

Second, sloppiness in screening may also lead to the neglect of some enemies who pretend to be sincere for a while, but wait for the right moment. These enemies stayed in Nantu City and stirred up trouble, which was not beneficial to Xinghua Kingdom. Finally, Yi Xingchen once again emphasized that James and other intelligence officers worked seriously and investigated clearly.

Receiving the exact order of His Majesty the King, James took his leave, left the Lord's Palace, and proceeded to the screening of prisoners as the King had requested.

Then, Yi Xingchen summoned another palace guard to come in and inquire about the situation in Nantu City.

The palace guards told Yi Xingchen that the main targets of last night's clean-up operation were concentrated in the big households in the city. For the majority of the people in the city, it did not affect the situation in Nantucheng. Shops from all walks of life in the city are open as usual, and the market is calm.

Yi Xingchen nodded, he was quite satisfied with the situation in Nantucheng. Soon, Enzo also came, and he reported to Yi Xingchen on the situation of the barbarian army south of Nantu City.

The Xinghua army at the south gate of Nantucheng found that the barbarian army was a little unusual, and they showed signs of attacking the city, so they came to ask for reinforcements.

When Yi Xingchen heard this, he thought about it, and he wondered if it was last night's clean-up operation that alarmed the barbarians. Could it be that Nantu City still wants to continue to cooperate with the barbarians? Yi Xingchen didn't figure it out, but he would not refuse Enzo's request, and immediately ordered a thousand soldiers of the Xinghua Legion to reinforce the South Gate.

Then, Yi Xingchen said that he wanted to go to the south gate to see what the barbarians looked like.

It's just that Enzo and other Xinghua officers resolutely persuaded Yi Xingchen not to get involved in danger. The reason is that they can't guarantee that the barbarians don't have alchemist weapons. If the barbarians also have the weapons of alchemists, those who climb the walls of Nantu City will encounter danger.

Yi Xingchen is not a willful king, and he still listens to the kind persuasion of his subordinate courtiers. It's just that Yi Xingchen can take the risk without going to the city wall, and he instead expressed his idea that he wants to visit the bustling streets of Nantucheng privately and experience the customs of Nantucheng up close.

Because they rejected the king's first request, Enzo and the others did not object to Yi Xingchen's request.

Yi Xingchen changed into a standard suit for the children of a rich family, wearing a long sword, and under the protection of four palace guards, he and Enzo sent two guides from Nantu City to cooperate and leave the City Lord's Mansion.

The streets of Nantucheng are different from the prosperity of Xilin City, and they have a bit more alien customs.

In fact, Nantu City can also be regarded as a Xiongguan.

Outside the gates, there are barbaric and uncivilized barbarians, who have no etiquette and advocate wild strength. They always want to enter the east and leave the country, and loot.

However, Nantu Castle is one of the main routes to the Western Regions after all.

Moreover, sometimes the barbarians and Nantucheng will also open a market, maintaining the stability of the trade route and mutual benefit.

In addition, there are also merchants from many countries in the Western Regions, who travel to and from the east, and even the Xia Kingdom, will choose to pass through Nantucheng, and even establish a transit station in Nantucheng.

Because of this, a large number of foreign merchants gathered in Nantu City.

For the convenience of business, these merchants from all over the world built many houses in Nantucheng. Most of these houses have different exotic features.

For example, in Nantu City, Yi Xingchen not only saw the domed buildings of the Western Regions, but also saw the spired Western churches that the old man Xinghua once described.

These various buildings have formed a complex and unique bizarre culture in Nantu City.

What's more, Yi Xingchen also found several exotic gourmet restaurants in Nantu City. (To be continued......)
