The treasurer was so frightened that he burst into tears, and in the end he would just cry that he was wronged.
"I would like to ask you, what do you officials of the Kingdom of Jin think of me, Daxia?"
"Wei Chen and others really have no idea. We are a country based on business, and we have no feelings about family and country. Whoever takes it seriously is the winner, and we will bet with the winner."
Listening to Jia Yi's words combined with the recent surveillance results of the secret guards, it is true that as he said, Jin Kingdom itself does not have much feelings for family and country. Maybe there are still people in the Gyeonggi area who respect the Jin Kingdom royal family, but there are not many generals.
"Jin Guo" is a belief that cannot be separated.
"Haha, that's good, but did you do this because you took advantage of the people from Jin Kingdom in the north?"
"It's unjust. When you interrogated Jinfang and others in front of everyone, we all watched. We didn't dare to disobey you."
"It doesn't sound like a lie...Does it really have nothing to do with yesterday's envoy from the Kingdom of Jin..."
"Do you usually watch this warehouse?"
"Weichen...Weichen is not here usually. One of Weichen's nephews is watching over me..."
"Oh, I see? Where is your nephew?"
"Still in this warehouse, he was still here this morning."
Li Lin waved, and a personal guard came over.
"Go and bring his nephew."
"As you command!"
Then Li Lin ignored Jia Yi, who was still kneeling, and looked around.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a large amount of flint in this city, which was purchased a day ago." At this time, Yu Qian came from outside, saluted in front of Jia Yi, who was kneeling, and reported to Li Lin.
"Very good. Combined with the situation at the scene, it is consistent with what I guessed."
Li Lin listened to Yu Qian's report and became more sure of his guess.
"Have the relevant people been caught?"
"Your Majesty, the interrogation has been completed. The owner of the flint, the transporter, and other relevant personnel have all been arrested. They only said that a man wearing a cloak and whose voice sounded like an old man came over and bought these flints."
Li Lin frowned slightly.
"What about this old man?"
"The old man... was not caught."
"Forget it, I'm afraid he's not an old man. It's been so long now that he might have taken advantage of the chaos and gone out."
Yu didn't say anything before, what Li Lin said was indeed right.
"If you caught the luggage, have you been to the shipping location?"
"General Han personally took people to see it. He will come directly here to report back later."
"Okay, then you should take a look first to see if there are any clues."
Li Lin didn't say much, now he could only wait for the report to come from over there.
"Wei ministers obey orders."
The two of them were looking left and right.
"Report! Bring Jal!"
A bodyguard led a young man inside.
"Your nephew?"
Li Lin looked at the young man and asked Jia Yi, who was kneeling.
Jia Yi didn't dare to straighten up, he just tilted his head and looked in the direction of the coming person, glancing at that person.
"Yes, it is."
"Okay, nothing happens without you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
"No need, just remember it in the next life. If you neglect your duty, behead! Drag it down!"
Li Lin ordered coldly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's unfair, it's unfair."
His legs suddenly gained strength again, but it was as if he had no strength in front of the rigorously trained secret guards.
The sound disappeared soon after.
"I would like to ask you, have you looked at the warehouse in the past two days and seen anything unusual?"
"..." Jial was already stunned when he saw his uncle being taken away and beheaded. Now he was even more frightened when he heard Li Lin ask him. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Jia'er! Answer me!" Li Lin took two steps towards Jia'er and said loudly with a dark face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wei Chen, Wei Chen, let two people in. Wei Chen knows the crime, Wei Chen knows the crime."
This head knock became even more severe, and after a few blows, Jal's forehead was covered in blood.
"Who are these two people?"
Jal was still kowtowing hard and didn't hear.
Li Lin winked at the guards, and the two of them stepped forward and held Jial down, pressing his head to the ground.
"I, the king, just asked, who are these two people?"
"Wei Chen doesn't know, they just gave me money and I let them in."
His speech was a little unclear when someone was holding him down.
"Oh, you are really brave, letting people enter the important warehouse like this."
"They are giving too much. I'm afraid that if I ask too many questions, I won't have a chance."
"What do these two people look like?"
"They were all wearing cloaks. The one I was talking to was an old man. The cloak covered his face, so I couldn't see his face clearly. There was another person who didn't talk to Wei Chen. I didn't see his face at all."
"Wearing a cloak and covering your face, can you let them in? I am interested. How much will they give you?"
"Three...three thousand taels."
"Did you get the money?"
"Yes, yes, in my arms, there is a silver note."
A soldier came forward and took it out from his arms. He checked it first and found that there was no problem before sending it to Li Lin.
This is written on the banknote of "Jin Guo Jincheng Company".
"Coming from the capital of Jin Kingdom...hasn't it been solved yet?" Li Lin frowned when he looked at the bank note.
Obviously, although what these two people explained is correct, this matter is most likely to be related to Jin Guo.
"Let's drag him down together so that his uncle can have company." After speaking, Li Lin waved his hand.
Yu Qian also heard Li Lin's question just now and couldn't help but sweat.
"Your Majesty, the clues of these two people have been blocked. What should we do?"
"Let's wait for General Han She to arrive first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han She walked in. As soon as he came in, he saw Yu Qian who was full of anxiety.
"Tell me, did you find anything?"
"Your Majesty, when I arrived, there were still more than half of the room filled with firestones, but there was no one there anymore."
Li Lin was silent for a while, and then said again.
"How much rations does our army have now?"
"There are also two small granaries in the city. If the supply is normal, it can last for three days. If the supply is tighter, it can last for one week."
"Normal supply, don't reduce it. The most important thing in defending the city is military morale. Our military's combat strength is weak and our military morale is in chaos. There will be no chance."
Li Lin knew that what Yu Qian meant now was to tighten military food expenditures. Li Lin knew how powerful this place was, and he must not do such a thing that would harm the morale of the military now.
"But, after three days, where are we going to find military rations? Wei Chen thought that we could tighten up and send envoys to the surrounding cities of Jin Kingdom to search."
"This area is a border town. Jinfang has such a mentality. What about the others?"
Of course Yu Qian was clear about it, but he thought that treating a dead horse as a living horse might as well give it a try.
"Within two days, Ning Guogong will definitely be defeated."
Li Lin saw that he and Han She were worried, so he swore to guarantee.
