"This guy has already aroused our suspicion. His location belongs to the territory of Jieshi Town, which is not far from the area invaded by the Huns every year. But it seems that he has never heard of that village being plundered by the Huns. He told the public that he paid a certain amount of money, which makes people suspicious. The Huns are not good men and women, so how could they accept the tribute from a small village without taking it in one fell swoop?"

"In addition, since this person took root there, caravans from Loulan Kingdom or caravans to Loulan Kingdom have been looted by unidentified robbers almost every year. This is the second... "

"The most important thing is that we found a person who had worked under Hamas's private armed forces two days ago and later ran out. After a lot of work and profit, we finally dug out of this person. He was instructed by Hamas several times with those private armed forces in Hamas, pretending to be a robber and looting the passing caravans. With this, Hamas can be arrested. Of course, this must be supported by the army, otherwise it would be impossible to rely on the police under my command." Mu Ziqi said proudly.

"If the information can be confirmed, then you have made great contributions this time." Qin Mu was also full of expectations, "Maybe there are some unexpected gains. People come to invite Commander Liu and Commander Li to me, and they said there is something important to discuss."

"If there is a beautiful woman in the captive, don't forget to reward me with one." Mu Ziqi still reminded Qin Mu in obsession before leaving.

When Liu Xiaoshan and Li Dadan and the other two stood up after listening to Qin Mu's introduction, they both stood up excitedly and wished they could take people out immediately. At Qin Mu's instructions, they realized that they had lost their composure and quickly sat down. This opportunity was really rare.

But Qin Mu's opinion was more than enough to go to a brigade. There was no need to dispatch a division to go with him. In the end, Qin Mu decided to let Li Dadan take a brigade.

The next day, Li Dadan immediately sent out a capable reconnaissance force. Three days later, the reconnaissance force returned with satisfactory intelligence.

Qin Mu and Li Dadan led more than 6,000 troops from the First Brigade to quietly leave Tokugawa Prefecture under the cover of night. After a day and a night of march, they finally arrived at Yuran Villa in Jieshi Town, the destination.

Looking at the dark building in front of him, Qin Mu couldn't say what he felt in his heart. The name of this villa was very beautiful, but maybe the next moment, there would be blood flowing here and piles of bones, but things in the world were so cruel that no one could change it.

I hope Hamas is a wise man. Li Dadan was making arrangements in an orderly manner, and soon the entire village was surrounded and the soldiers were ready to go, just waiting for the command from the superior.

With Qin Mu's wave of his hand, thousands of torches lit up at the same time, illuminating the entire village like daytime. The soldiers who were already eager to flock to the scene and launched an attack according to the plan that had been formulated. There was no big suspense in the battle. In less than half an hour, the private soldiers in the village were chopped into meat paste on the spot. The others surrendered one after another. The other villagers in the village were ordered to stay at home and not go out. There was nothing serious about the rest, but they all knew that Mr. Hamas in the village must have had a big problem.

When the soldiers broke through the iron gate of the mansion in the center of the village, Qin Mu and Li Dadan had already arrived at the gate. Looking at the pale face of the master who was erected by the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, Qin Mu showed a warm smile on his face: "Mr. Hamas, are you safe?"

"Mr. I don't know what it means to take the old out of the bed late at night? It's so difficult for me to do bandits?" Hamas's heart was so clear, but now that things have come to this point, he has to resist to the end.

“Bold!”

"What a big courage!"

Amid the soldiers' shouts, Qin Mu used his hands to signal the soldiers to keep quiet, "Mr. Hamas, we don't have to talk anymore. Whoever is right or wrong will be revealed in a moment." Qin Mu still looked calm.

Soon, the soldiers searched a large number of letters with the Hunter from the secret compartment of the study, including the handwritten letters of Harry Qisheng, the general of the Hunter Kingdom, and even found several letters with officials of the Duchy of Loulan.

The interrogation of several small leaders in the private soldiers soon came to an end. Hamas could only remain silent in the face of these conclusive evidence.

The harvest was huge. From the seized darkroom, silver notes from money houses of nearly ten million in various countries were found, as well as a large number of calligraphy, paintings, treasures, antiques, rare medicinal materials, etc. What satisfied Qin Mu the most was that there were two books and one detailed topographic maps of the northwest counties of the empire.

Another volume is a detailed topographic map of the Beixun Kingdom and the Duchy of Loulan Kingdom. This made Qin Mu deeply suspicious of Hamas' identity.

As soon as he returned to Tokugawa Prefecture, Qin Mu ordered Mu Ziqi to organize people to interrogate Hamas as soon as possible, and sent special personnel to guard them. At the same time, he claimed that Hamas was the leader of the bandit and showed relevant evidence to the outside world, but he secretly disclosed Hamas' other identities.

Qin Mu took over the large amount of money seized to the county government finance and gave part of the army to reward this time. At the same time, he also gave certain rewards to the intelligence department led by Mu Ziqi. Because most of the captured private soldiers came from local poor families, most of them joined the army after education.

After obtaining a large amount of funds, Tokugawa Prefecture's finances were greatly alleviated and the development plan was quickly launched.

Under various methods such as fatigue bombing of the intelligence department and family members' heart attacks, Hamas quickly explained his true identity. He was originally a refugee from the Sithro Empire, named Sardin. He was wandering on the East Tengri Grassland and was favored by the Huns. He gave him a sum of funds. Thirteen years ago, he sneaked into Tokugawa territory with a pseudonym to buy land and build a house. He turned into a landlord and shouldered the important task of collecting information on the Tokugawa County, especially Tokugawa, Yucheng and Lichuan for the empire.

Later, through various relationships, he became a couple of people from the Duchy of Loulan in the southwest. From then on, he became a double-faced spy. He himself privately collected a group of people, organized them, and used his convenient geographical location to constantly disguise and loot the caravans.

Looking at Hamas' confession sent by Mu Ziqi, Qin Mu fell into deep thought. This small Tokugawa County is really hidden and lying in a lie. Everyone who has touched it will try every means to intervene. It seems that it is best to be more careful.

Maybe I should observe it again. Although I have blinded one eye of the Huns and Loulans, it is equivalent to reminding each other that they will definitely not be willing to do so and will definitely set up new candidates, so it will not be so easy to master. But things in the world are difficult to do with both sides. If you can take care of this one, you will not take care of that one. Fortunately, Hamas has made a lot of "contribution" and has achieved its expected goal.

With the support of a large amount of silver and rare treasures collected from Hamas' home, Qin Mu was also very confident. At least he had a certain foundation to go to the capital to do business. I heard that the group of people from the Ministry of Revenue in the Empire were very vicious and vicious. If there was no real thing, I would probably not be able to pass the test.

In addition, this time, Wei Zhongxian, Li Yongzhen, and ministers other than the Donglin Party have to visit there. They still need to maintain good relations and their own strength is not enough to be completely independent. The implementation of the new plan also requires a good environment and strong support from the imperial court. These are inseparable from the at least superficial support of Wei Zhongxian and some powerful ministers.

While Qin Mu was planning to find the ministers and powerful people who needed to be managed, he was also thinking that he should bring gifts to the women far away in Jinling for so long. Thinking of Liu Rushi, Li Xiangjun and the Hongxiu women who stayed in Jinling, Qin Mu's heart couldn't help but feel warm. He had been away from Jinling for more than half a year, and he had only sent letters with them twice. Of course, the letter was filled with endless tenderness and sweetness, endless longing, and sometimes he had to fall asleep under the letter.

Although Sima Qingqing's relationship was progressing rapidly, she never broke through the last hurdle. Later, she was busy with work and the girl returned to Northwest County with her grandfather. However, Qin Mu was absolutely sure that she could not escape her palm. It was only a matter of time.

Due to the war, Tokugawa Prefecture had no place to go. During the war, due to high mental tension, he didn't feel that once the nerves relaxed after the war, he would inevitably think randomly. If this continues, many soldiers would be crazy. It seems that they should discuss with Liang Qiming and others, and should encourage the vigorous development of this type of entertainment industry, which is also beneficial to the active economy, and can also solve some necessary problems for some people, such as those who are already past the age of marriage and are still old bachelors. If these people have no place to send them, they will cause trouble sooner or later.

To solve the physiological needs of these officers and soldiers, we must also put them on the agenda. The existence of the building has made great contributions to social stability in a sense. No matter which dynasty, everything can be banned. Only this thing is repeatedly banned. This is human nature and cannot be banned, just like people want to eat and drink water.

Therefore, Qin Mu welcomes this kind of service industry. After all, this industry can effectively stabilize the stability of the local society in Tokugawa County and provide the government with high tax revenue.

For service industries like Qinglou, Qin Mu must implement a listing system. If you want to open Qinglou in Tokugawa County, you must go to the Interior Department, Economic Development Department, Culture, Education and Health Department, and pay a certain amount of deposit, and then you can open your business. Pay a certain amount of taxes every month, and they are legally operated and protected by the Tokugawa County Government.
