Chapter 1117 Scraping the bone to cure poison
Chapter 1115: Bone scraping to cure poison
Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

Qin Wen soon received the battle report from Yinchuan. Although the fall of the city was expected, the current situation in Yinchuan was unexpected.

Qin Wen also knew that Qu Yuan was not to blame for the fall of the three cities of Yinchuan. After all, no one thought that Temujin would join forces with Yang Jian, and that Murong Ke would kill him from Shuofang.

Facing the sudden Yuanmeng army, Qu Yuan's reaction was quick enough, and he also made the correct decision, but it is a pity that Murong Ke is superior, and Qu Yuan, who was born as a civil servant, is obviously not his opponent.

If it was only the fall of the three cities, it would not have made Qin Wen angry. What really made him angry were those 'coincidences'.

Hetao is no longer the Hetao of the past. The specific division of the three counties and thirty cities, even Qin Wen, had to look at the map to know the exact location, but Murong Ke was able to find the grain depot of the Jin army so coincidentally.

If Qin Wen believed that this was really a coincidence, then his years of governing would have been in vain. With his toes, he could think of the tricks in it. It must be because someone should provide information and lead the way for Murong Ke.

"What about the Black Ice Terrace? Why is there no response at all?" Qin Wen asked angrily.

Qin Yijue knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to inform my adoptive father, Dugu Qiubai, Ah Qing, Liu Jiannu, and Hai'er have been in Sizhou for the past half a year to assist the young master in seeking Dong, so..."

Qin Wen's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "So if you don't know, you can shirk your responsibility?"

"Xi Yan dare not."

Although Sizhou has not been fully taken now, Luoyang is stable, and Qin Yijue has no use for staying, so he came back with Six Swordsmen. I don't want to return to Jinyang not long ago, and this kind of thing happened .

"Check it out, find it out as quickly as possible, I want to find out who this traitor is."

Qin Wen said with a murderous look, after all, the loss of Yinchuan this time is not small, and [-]% of the fall was burned, and [-] people were reduced to refugees. Someone must bear the responsibility for this crime.

"Father, Hei Bingtai is not completely unresponsive. Hei Bingtai has actually been on the alert for this internal response. I have reported to you several times before, and I want to completely solve this hidden danger, but you have not approve."

Hearing what Qin Yijue said, Qin Wen was also stunned, then frowned and said, "You mean about Shanxi merchants?"

"Yes."

Qin Yijue nodded, and said: "The people who can provide information for Murong Ke are nothing more than those Shanxi merchants. They had a record of reselling supplies to Yuanmeng before, but you said that the Shanxi merchants involved too much. Before there is definite evidence, these people cannot be easily moved, which is why today's disaster has been caused."

The Black Ice Terrace organization is so large that even if most of the elite go south to Sizhou, it is impossible for them not to be aware of the collusion between Shanxi Merchants and Yuan Meng. It's just that Qin Wen suppressed these people.

Qin Wen hated the aristocratic family that resold supplies to Yuan Meng very much. He knew that he also had such aristocratic family under his command, but due to various concerns, he hesitated to cut off this tumor attached to the Jin army.

Bingzhou's business, the benefits are too great, the Qin family can't swallow it, and it is inevitable that they will support other families to make profits together.

Most of the Shanxi merchants are more or less supported by the Qin family, so the conflict of interest between the Shanxi merchants and the Qin family is the deepest.

As the saying goes, the world is as black as crows.

Many Shanxi merchants have unclean hands and feet, but when it comes to business, there are probably only a handful of merchants in the world who are truly clean, even when the Qin family was in business.

Qin Wen understands the pissing nature of businessmen too well. He knows that greed and profit-seeking are the nature of businessmen, and they cannot be suppressed no matter how they are suppressed, even if death is the threat.

Therefore, for those Shanxi merchants who resell supplies to Yuanmeng, as long as the quantity is not too large, Qin Wen generally turns a blind eye and closes one eye, as long as the fundamental interests of the Jin army are not damaged.

But I didn't want Qin Wen's forbearance to encourage the arrogance of the Shanxi merchants, so that more than half of the Shanxi merchants in the north were about to rot.

Qin Wen never thought of pointing the knife at the Shanxi merchants, because the interest disputes involved are too great. Once the Shanxi merchants are touched, another group of people will be moved. In the end, the Qin family will definitely be involved, and it may even be involved. Jia Yu, after all, the Qin family caravan is managed by Jia Yu.

The price was really too high, it was tantamount to scraping bones to cure poison, and even the entire Jin army would suffer from it for a long time, so Qin Wen couldn't make up his mind, but now it seems that Qin Wen's indecision is undoubtedly stupid.

Drinking poison to quench thirst is destined to be poisoned to death, so instead of letting the rotten meat continue to rot, it is better to cut off the rotten meat to regain health.

Although it hurts to scrape the bone to treat 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 came out and replied: "Wrong."

"Even you think that brother is wrong, it seems that you are really wrong."

"It's not too late to change it now," Qin Rang said.

Qin Wen smiled wryly, and said: "I originally thought about waiting until Hao'er took over my position to deal with these people, but now it seems that I have to do it earlier."

The next day, Qin Xiyan, Liu Jiannu, Xuan Jian, Zhe Ri, the first-generation startled salamander, and the backbone of the Black Ice Terrace who were still in Bingzhou were all called together by Qin Wen at once.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Qin Wen can be said to be the last surviving hero of the old age, and now this sick tiger will show his fangs again.

"Lead the team yourself. Anyone who has a record of collaborating with the enemy, family members, and caravans will be arrested and interrogated immediately. Anyone who resists will be shot to death. If something really happened..."

A cold light flashed in Qin Wen's eyes, and he said coldly, "Exterminate the clan."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and shouted: "No."

Qin Xiyan stood up at this time and said, "Father, there are many people who are suspected, but there is no record in the case, and we haven't got any definite evidence, what should these people do?"

Qin Wen didn't even think about it: "I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go."

"clear."

After saying that, Qin Xiyan backed away. She didn't ask again if she met someone from the Qin family, how should she deal with such stupid words, because Qin Wen's attitude has already shown everything, even people from the Qin family will be killed Undoubtedly, of course extermination is naturally impossible.

Qin Rang also stood up at this time, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the evidence of the Qiao family collaborating with the enemy is conclusive, but Qiao Sheng, the patriarch of the Qiao family, and the fourth master are sworn brothers. Now that the fourth master is out fighting, he will be executed like this." Sworn brother, 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 couldn't ignore his brother's feelings.

After pondering for a while, Qin Wen said: "Prison all the Qiao family first, and after the fourth brother returns, let him handle it himself."
