"Keep him under safe custody first, lest you see Your Majesty again when he comes!"
When the questions were almost finished, Wang Ben called two soldiers to come over and tied up Shi Jianduo.
Shi Jianduo also guessed what would happen, and did not struggle. He just told the two of them with a grimace, "You just promised me that as long as I explain everything, you will help me find my family. You can't Break your promise!"
"Don't worry, your family is looking for you, Wang Zhiming and Yin Tianlu are looking for you, and we are also looking for the group of people behind them!"
Wang Ben said with a serious face.
"Okay! I believe you!"
Great Qin's war god Tong Wuhou even spoke his word to guarantee it. Shi Jiando had no reason not to believe it and nodded happily.
He knew that his crime was unforgivable and that he could not escape the death penalty, but as long as his family could live, he could die and rest in peace!
After being taken down, groups of soldiers also returned one after another.
"Report...! No suspicious people or things were found!"
"No one found...!"
When the soldiers captured these government officials, they had already searched the surrounding areas and did not miss any of them.
Wang Ben asked them to look again, just to see if they could find anything else.
But the soldiers reported back one after another, but no clues were found!
"well……!"
Just when Wang Bi and Zhang Han were shaking their heads in disappointment, a team of soldiers responsible for searching the database took out a hand-drawn map from their arms and presented it to them.
"What's this?"
Wang Ben was stunned.
"Go back to Tongwuhou, map!"
The soldiers were honest enough to reply directly with two words.
Wang Ben raised his head and rolled his eyes at him, "I still can't see that this is a map? I was asking you where you found it, but do you know where the map is?"
"haha……"
The soldier scratched his head in embarrassment and continued: "This map was found next to the candlestick in the database. It was obviously burned with fire, and there is only one corner left! As for where the map is... I don't know!"
"Old Wang, aren't you making things difficult for me? Even you, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, don't know what kind of map this is. How can he, a young general, know that?"
Zhang Han pretended to be a good guy at this time and excused the young general.
The young general nodded quietly and thanked him for excusing himself and sparing him a scolding!
"Judging from the remaining corner of the paper, this hand-drawn map should be quite big! Where is it from?"
Wang Ben has been reading various maps since he was a child. Up to now, he has seen almost half of the maps in Great Qin.
There were dozens, if not hundreds, of locations that were similar to the route on the map. Where could he analyze it?
"Since His Majesty's arrival, every county in Da Qin has very detailed maps, and they are all uniformly published by newspapers! Who would draw maps by hand? And burn them?"
"It must be the escape route drawn by Wang Zhiming and others!"
After Zhang Han's analysis, Wang Ben's eyes immediately lit up as he thought of this level.
"That's right! That must be the case!"
Zhang Han nodded firmly.
"This road map must be kept. Failure to do so will be the key to capturing Wang Zhiming and others!"
Wang Ben didn't worry about handing it over to others, so he folded it a few times and put it in his arms.
This way, it will be easier for him to ponder and compare at night!
"You guys, go check it out in the database and see if you find anything else!"
"yes!"
The soldiers received the order and immediately went to the database.
Even though he had dug three feet into the ground and searched the database carefully last time, he still didn't dare to refuse.
Marquis Tongwu gave the order and they just obeyed it!
"Put these guys in jail, and then release all the managers of newspapers, cloth mills, paper mills, etc. in Longxi!"
The captured government officials were all government officials who took advantage of the situation. They helped the tyrants to do evil, supervised and restricted people's travel, and delayed the government's control of the disaster. They deserved death.
However, before His Majesty comes, they cannot execute without authorization. They can only lock him up first and wait for His Majesty to come before making a decision!
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order and walked towards the prison with the government servants in their arms.
The government officials never expected that after staying in the government office for many years, they would eventually be imprisoned in the prison of their own government office!
After handling these matters, Wang Ben ordered the grain outside the city to be unloaded to the government office, and then called the people together to explain in detail the true reasons for all the things that happened in recent times!
The imperial court must not be allowed to take the blame for what those corrupt officials have done!
After explaining these things, Wang Ben and Zhang Han immediately sent people to find the telegraph machine of the government office, called the telegraph operator, sent a telegram to Xianyang, and briefly reported the situation here!
Due to limited time, they can only find out the situation in the city today. As for the scope of the disaster, they can only send people to investigate tomorrow!
Ying Feiyu from Xianyang City waited for a long time and finally received the telegram from Longxi.
The telegraph machine kept ringing, and the two telegraph operators were busy writing and translating the received telegrams into text.
Finally, the two of them checked it and submitted it!
After looking at it, Ying Feiyu looked angry.
I never expected that a small Longxi governor would dare to do so many things that violated Qin's laws.
Ignoring the environment and the court's call, they deforestation indiscriminately, causing desertification!
Failure to report disasters in jurisdictions leads to the spread of disasters!
Bribe and control officials and not allow them to report!
Restricting the freedom of people in disaster areas is just to prevent the disaster situation from being leaked!
Collusion with unknown forces, threatening officials, leaving one's post without permission, planning to murder a court official, any one of these is an unforgivable crime!
After reading the telegram, I ordered the telegraph operator to reply to Wang Bi and Zhang Han, reminding them to be careful!
"Your Majesty must be very angry at this time!"
Wang Ben, who was in Longxi, received the reply and imagined Ying Feiyu's reaction after reading the telegram.
"That's for sure! Our son-in-law hates evil so much that he can't even hold it in his eyes, let alone something like this that involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people! Even you, an old guy, would gnash his teeth with hatred, let alone His Majesty!"
Zhang Han said half-jokingly.
"Hmph! As if you weren't angry, I could hear the sound of your back teeth grinding!"
The investigation of the matter was almost over, and the two of them relaxed a little, and began to bicker as usual.
"Where did you hear that a certain back molar was crushed? Ah... look, which tooth is missing? Aren't they all still growing properly?"
In order to show that he was not surprised, Zhang Han also opened his mouth to let Wang Ben see his teeth.
"Ouch! Lao Zhang! How many days have you not rinsed your mouth? The smell of this mouth almost made me sick!"
Not to be outdone, Wang Ben quickly covered his mouth and pretended to be very sad.
Zhang Han believed it to be true, put his hand in front of his mouth, breathed out hard, and sniffed fiercely, "It doesn't smell like anything? You old guy is just talking nonsense! You just didn't rinse your mouth for a day on the train, how can you have such a bad smell?" How bad does it smell? Besides, it’s not that I don’t want to rinse my mouth, it’s just that the conditions on the train don’t allow it…!”
