Chapter 1115: Scraping the bone to cure poison
Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.
Qin Wen soon received a war report from Yinchuan. Although the fall of the city was expected, it was unexpected that the current situation in Yinchuan was unexpected.
Qin Wen also knew that Qu Yuan was not blamed for the fall of the three cities of Yinchuan. After all, no one expected that Temujin would join forces with Yang Jian, and Murong Ke would actually kill him from Shuofang.
Faced with this sudden Yuan and Mongolian army, Qu Yuan''s reaction was already quick enough and he also made the right decision. Unfortunately, Murong Ke was more skilled, and Qu Yuan, who was a civil servant, was obviously not his opponent.
If it were just the fall of the three cities, it would not have made Qin Wen angry. What really angered him was those "coincidences".
Hetao is no longer the Hetao in the past. The specific division of the locations of the three counties and thirty cities, even Qin Wen had to look at the map to know the specific location, but Murong Ke was able to find the Jin army''s grain warehouse so coincidentally.
If Qin Wen believed this was a coincidence, then his years of rule would be in vain. He could think of the tricks in it with his toes, which must be because he provided information and led the way for Murong Ke.
"Where is the Black Ice Platform, what exactly does it do? Why didn''t you react at all?" Qin Wen asked with an angry look on his face.
Qin Yijue knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "You have reported to your adoptive father, Dugu Qiubai, Aqing, Liujiannu, and Child, who have been assisting the young master in Sizhou for more than half a year to challenge Dong, so..."
Qin Wen''s face was as deep as water and said coldly: "So you don''t know, so you can shirk responsibility?"
"Xiyan dares not."
Although the entire Sizhou has not been taken, Luoyang is stable, and Qin Yijue has no place to use his skills, so he came back with the Six Sword Slaves. But he didn''t expect that this happened shortly after he returned to Jinyang.
"Check it out with the fastest speed. I want to see who this traitor is."
Qin Wen said with a murderous look on his face. After all, Yinchuan suffered a considerable loss this time, and 30% of the falls were burned down, and 100,000 people became refugees. This crime must be carried by someone.
"Entertainment Father, Hei Bingtai is not completely unresponsive. Hei Bingtai is actually alert to the matter in this in-depth response. I have reported to you several times before, hoping to completely solve this hidden danger, but you didn''t approve it."
Hearing Qin Yijue say this, Qin Wen was also stunned, then frowned and said, "Are you talking about the Shanxi merchants?"
“That’s right.”
Qin Yijue nodded and said, "The people who can provide information to Murong Ke are nothing more than those Shanxi merchants. They had a criminal record of reselling supplies to Yuan Meng before, but you said that the Shanxi merchants involved too much. They should not easily touch these people before there is no definite evidence, which is why today''s disaster will be caused."
The Black Ice Platform organization is huge. Even if most of the elites go south to Sizhou, they will not be able to detect the collusion between the Shanxi merchants and Yuan Meng at all. It’s just that Qin Wen suppressed these people.
Qin Wen hated the aristocratic family that reselled supplies to Yuan Meng. He knew that he also had such a family under his command, but due to various concerns, he was reluctant to cut off the tumor that was dependent on the growth of the Jin army.
The business of Bingzhou and one state has too great benefits, and the Qin family cannot swallow it up, so it will inevitably support other families to make profits together.
Most of the Shanxi merchants have more or less support from the Qin family, so the interests of the Shanxi merchants and the Qin family are the deepest.
As the saying goes, the world is as black as crows.
Many Shanxi merchants are not clean, but no matter how much business people are, they are really clean, and there are probably only a handful of merchants in the world, even when the Qin family was in business.
Qin Wen knew the nature of merchants too well. He knew that greed and profit-seeking are the nature of merchants, and they can''t be suppressed no matter how they suppress it, even if death is a threat. Therefore, for those Shanxi merchants who reselled materials to Yuan and Meng, as long as the number was not too large, Qin Wen would usually turn a blind eye and not harm the fundamental interests of the Jin army.
But he didn''t expect that Qin Wen''s tolerance would fuel the arrogance of the Shanxi merchants, so that most of the Shanxi merchants in the north were almost rotten.
Qin Wen never thought of pointing his knife at the Shanxi merchants, because the dispute over interest was too big. Once the Shanxi merchants were touched, they would touch another group of people. In the end, they would definitely involve the Qin family, and even Jia Yu might even involve Jia Yu. After all, the Qin family caravans were all managed by Jia Yu.
This cost is too great, tantamount to scraping bones to cure poison. Even the entire Jin army would suffer for a while, so Qin Wen could not make up his mind, but now it seems that Qin Wen''s indecision is undoubtedly stupid.
Drinking poison to quench thirst will lead to poisoning to death, so instead of letting the rotten meat continue to rot, it is better to endure the pain and cut off the rotten meat and regain your health.
Although scraping the bone to cure poison, it only hurts for a while, but if you don’t scrape, it will continue to hurt.
"Fifth brother, do you think I was really wrong this time?" Qin Wen sighed.
And in the shadow behind him, a figure slowly walked out and replied, "Wrong."
"Even you think you are wrong for your brother. It seems that you are really wrong."
"It''s not too late to change now," Qin Rang said.
Qin Wen smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I would take the opportunity to take the position of Haoer and take action against these people. Now it seems that I have to do it in advance."
The next day, Qin Xiyan, Liu Jian, Xuan Jian, Yan Ri, the first generation Jing Yu, etc., all of the backbones of the Black Ice Platform who were still in Bingzhou were summoned by Qin Wen at one time.
Since Dong Zhuo''s death, Qin Wen can be said to be the last hero to survive in the old era, and now this sick tiger will reveal his fangs again.
"You will lead the team yourself. Anyone who has passed the enemy''s records in the case, aristocratic families and caravans will be arrested and interrogated immediately. If anyone resists, he will be killed without any reason, and if it is true..."
A cold light flashed in Qin Wen''s eyes and he said coldly: "Destroy the clan."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this and shouted, "Oh."
Qin Xiyan stood up at this time and said, "Abiden Father, many people are suspected, but there is no record in the case, and we have not yet obtained the exact evidence. What should these people do?"
Qin Wen didn''t even think about it: "I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go."
"clear."
After saying that, Qin Xiyan retreated. She did not ask again what to do if she met someone from the Qin family, because Qin Wen''s attitude had already shown everything. Even the people from the Qin family would definitely kill him. Of course, it is naturally impossible to destroy the clan.
Qin Rang also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the evidence of Qiao''s family co-operation with the enemy is conclusive, but Qiao Sheng, the head of the Qiao family, is a sworn brother with the Fourth Master. Now the fourth master is fighting outside, so he will execute his sworn brother like this. Isn''t it a bit..."
Qin Wen frowned when he heard this. He could execute any other family under his command without hesitation, but he could not ignore his brother''s feelings.
After a little thought, Qin Wen said, "First detain the Qiao family, and then leave it to him for personal treatment after the fourth brother comes back."
