Chapter 357: Cool Officer
"So be it. Above the court, how can such a ghost and ghost exist, and all the courtiers who collude with the Persian temple will be punished for rebellion, and they will not let go of the lonely. As for the ill-intentioned Persians...... Hmph, it's really giving them face! ”
"Zhang Qing, I'll leave the matter of tracking down these people to you. As for manpower - Li Jingmen should be the best at this, but unfortunately they refuse to work for Gu - you do this in secret first, if you need manpower, you can find Chen Qing, since there are teenagers like Wang Mingyun in the Long Wu Army, there should be some available people. ”
Zhang Xun and Chen Xuanli both nodded.
……
When Lao Wan brought dozens of Chang'an children into the city, in order to show their own merits, everyone deliberately made a great mess, and this matter naturally attracted everyone's attention in the undercurrent of Chang'an City. People watched these Chang'an children enter Xingqing Palace in a hurry, and they were all guessing what would happen, but they disappeared like mud cows entering the sea.
Lao Wan and others have a lot of credit, Chen Xuanli, the general of the Longwu Army, came forward to reward everyone, with Lao Wan's highest merit, he was directly rewarded with five transfers, and he was promoted to a general from the fourth grade, and the others were all awarded three to four turns, and their ranks were also promoted. In the end, each of them was also generously rewarded with a sum of money, and then everyone was ordered to return to the camp of the Longwu Army, and strictly ordered not to go out and not to mention a word.
Everyone is very satisfied with the rewards, and Lao Wan becoming a general is naturally the most enviable, but his own rewards are not bad. Everyone's heart said that the hard work of so many days has been worth it, and the eggs are almost worn out after rushing day and night along the way, and now they can be satisfied.
Complimented the high-spirited General Wan. The crowd followed General Wan back to the camp. Lao Wan looked at the old guys who wanted to snatch their letters on the road, but now nodded their heads. I was very proud in my heart. If he hadn't given up his life to protect the letters, he wouldn't snatch them away. Now it will be yourself who will be the general!
This time, His Royal Highness's reward is very large, although it is just a piece of paper from the Hezhong Group, which is light and fluttering on the body, but now the entire Tang Dynasty recognizes this thing. With this amount of money, the life of the family can be better.
It is also appropriate to leave some money to go to Pingkangfang to find my sister, after all, I have worked hard for so many days. But not yet, the flesh and skin of these legs are stuck to the clothes, and I can't do anything like that. You have to give birth to a good life. But there will always be a chance, when I get better, with my identity as a general from the fourth grade, those sisters in Pingkangfang can't pounce on me, and when the time comes, I will go to whichever I want......
Thinking about it along the way, she arrived at the barracks unconsciously. put on the general's stand to reprimand this group of killers, so that they all remembered the general's words, and saw that everyone was busy nodding, with a flattering look on their faces, Lao Wan was even more proud in his heart.
West City of Chang'an. It has always been a place where Hu businessmen of all ethnic groups gathered. Nine Sogdians, the so-called Xinghu merchants, came here to do business. There are also Persians and great cannibals, and it is not uncommon for people to be happy.
There are many Hu people, and naturally there is Hu Sect -- of course, if it is true, Buddhism can also be regarded as a foreign Hu Sect, but Buddhism has been introduced to the Central Plains for a long time, and the local Buddhism of China and Tianzhu are completely different, and the degree of integration with the Central Plains culture is extremely high, especially after the translation of the scriptures by Kumarosh, Buddhism has gradually and completely localized, there are many schools, and there are many high monks, and it has become an important part of the Central Plains culture -- the Xinghu merchants basically believe in Huozhen, and the pure-blooded cannibals, that is, the Arabians, are all believers in Hu Da. As for the Persian merchants, faith was the most distinct.
The Persian Sassanid Empire took Zoroastrianism as the state religion and was established for hundreds of years, and some Persian Hu merchant families lived in the Central Plains since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and these people naturally believed in Ahura, the god of light. During the Zhenguan period, the Supreme Dynasty began, the Sassanid Empire was broken by the Great Eclipse, and some Persians entered the Central Plains at this time, these people were the remnants of the Sassanid Dynasty, and they naturally also believed in the fire and worshiped the god of light, Ahula. Then Da Shi occupied the land of Persia for a hundred years, and the Persians were gradually assimilated by it, so among the Persian Hu merchants who later entered the Central Plains, there were not a few who still believed in Huozheng and those who converted to Huda.
All in all, the beliefs of the Persian Hushang were the most mixed, and the beliefs of the Xinghu merchants and the Arabians would not change. And the few people who are happy to be happy, the so-called Jews in later generations, naturally have their own unique beliefs.
On the day that Lao Wan and his entourage returned to Chang'an City, Zhang Xun, who was ordered to act, began to do it. He has always acted vigorously and resolutely, leaving no room for error, although Li Heng wants him to act in secret, but he is very quiet as soon as he comes out.
Zhang Xun of the Persian Temple didn't know much, but he decided that it was the Persian remnants who made the rebellion, and the Persian Hu merchants in the West Market were naturally killed. In one afternoon's effort, the officials of Chang'an County captured dozens of Persian merchants from the western market, both sitting and traveling.
There are names for arresting people, but naturally it is impossible to have such a reason as being involved with the Persian temple, but it is all small things, such as bribing the officials in charge of the western market, allegedly underpaying taxes, and cheating in the transaction - there are other reasons, this last article is simply a naked slander, and every Persian merchant attaches great importance to credibility, and it is impossible to do such a thing. However, it was originally a crime to be added, and even such a thing as a camel having defecated on Suzaku Street and not cleaning it up in time can be used as a reason to arrest someone, so what else can be said.
Zhang Xun didn't care whether these people were wronged or not, and he didn't distinguish between Persian remnants and Persians who had eaten a lot, and after he caught the Chang'an County Ya, he began to torture, and his family members were not allowed to see him, and those who wanted to bribe with money and property were all beaten with sticks. The charges given were all minor crimes, but the arrest of dozens of Persian merchants at once was a strange matter.
In particular, it was not the officials of Chang'an County who drove people away with sticks outside the Chang'an County Ya, but were replaced by the cavalry of the Longwu Army, which was tall and tall, and this matter naturally looked even stranger.
Now Chang'an City is an eventful season, and any disturbance will soon be known all over the city. In the morning, people were still talking about the strange incident of dozens of sons and daughters of the Dragon Martial Army entering the city in embarrassment, and this one happened again in the afternoon, and naturally it quickly spread throughout the city.
Why can't you ask for it under Miki, this is Zhang Xun's creed. On the one hand, he did this in order to get confessions from these people, find out the guys involved in the Persian temple and then follow the vine, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use this method to force the hidden forces of the Persian temple to show up. Now that those ghosts are hiding in the shadows, then try to push these guys into the light.
Liquanfang is a place where Persian remnants live, and there must be people living in it who are related to the Persian temple, but Zhang Xun did not move there for the time being. He did this in order not to let the people of the Persian temple find out the truth and truth. If the two sides move together, the Persian temple will immediately know that it is aimed at them, and then the situation will not be good.
When the dignified household department Shangshu arrived in the lobby of Chang'an County, the Chang'an County Order naturally did not have the qualifications to sit down. Zhang Xun sat on top of the county government hall with a gloomy face, watching the officials of Chang'an County fiercely shackle a fat Persian merchant. The Persian merchant screamed miserably, and all his fingers were severed, but the officials had no intention of stopping.
Zhang Xun didn't ask, just watched lightly at the torture of the officials. It wasn't until the fat Persian merchant passed out that Zhang Xun waved his hand, and the officials carried the fainted Persian merchant into the prison, and then another trembling Persian merchant was pulled up.
It was also a well-known businessman in the West Market, worth more than 100,000 yuan, and when he was waiting outside, he was already extremely frightened when he listened to the screams inside, and at this time he was taken to the lobby with two trembling forces, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, and said in a loud voice: "Master, master, the little slave has not done anything wrong, and the little slave's camel has not drowned on Suzaku Street......"
Zhang Xunli ignored him, just waved his hand with a gloomy face, and the wolf-like officials came over and dragged the Persian merchant's hand into the wooden shackle.
The merchant screamed in horror, and then screamed in misery. The officials all had cold faces, and they just cut off his ten fingers one by one. After a while, the businessman also fainted in pain and was also sent to the Chang'an County prison.
One by one, the Persian merchants were brought up and carried down again.
From beginning to end, Zhang Xun didn't ask a person, didn't ask a word, just kept executing, and then threw the fainted person into prison.
Naturally, you have to ask, but you have to wait until these guys are all out of your guts to ask them one by one. The matter was urgent, and he didn't have time to take his time with these guys and take the time to discern what they were saying was true or false.
Listening to the miserable shouts of the merchants, Zhang Xun's heart was like water. Ever since his wife was killed, his heart has been as hard as a stone. As long as the goal can be achieved, what does it matter whether these lowly Persians live or die?
The entire Chang'an County Ya here was heavily guarded, and the knights of the Longwu Army surrounded the county Ya tightly, and Zhang Xun kept torturing those merchants with torture, and soon after, what happened in the county Ya was unsurprisingly and smoothly spread.
Before, the envoys of the Longwu Army went to Tingzhou to interrogate, and the news was transmitted to Tingzhou by the people of the Persian Temple, so there was a later interception. Today, when Lao Wan returned to the city, he was not low-key at all, and this matter had already attracted the attention of the henchmen of the Persian temple hidden in Chang'an City, but now that they had received the news, the two Persian temple shamans who stayed in Chang'an City for a while also felt that something was wrong.
Such a thing was naturally to be reported to the great shaman, so soon after receiving the news, Hai Dongqing flew up. Disappear into the blue sky.
And not long ago, in the backyard of a mansion in Chang'an City, there was already a Hai Dongqing flying into the sky.
