Torun was silent for a moment and said: "General Larsius, you sent people to monitor them.
I can't control it, but your people did it too blatantly.
This has aroused their suspicion and panic.
They think you are because of you."
My brother, Mario, has become hostile towards them.
General, I advise you to exercise restraint.
Mario's incident may very well implicate you, the elder brother.
If you do anything outrageous again at this time, , in order to give Western Qin an explanation, I’m afraid.”
Larsius frowned and said: "Torrent, do you think I will be afraid?
They are just a caravan.
Even if they have any problems with us, wouldn't it be too big a fuss for the Western Qin Congress to make such a big fuss about this?"
How can we take care of these little things?"
Torun couldn't help but cursed wildly in his heart.
He was such a reckless man.
He didn't understand shit.
He looked at Larsius and said, "Does the general only care about his own three-acre land and doesn't see anything else?
According to me, As we all know, the Western Qin army has already reached Mauritania in North Africa.
The countdown to the complete demise of the Abbasid dynasty has entered.
Western Qin can free up its hands at any time to take the lead.
Aiming at other countries, and our Eastern Roman Empire is one of them.
Now there is fierce internal fighting on Constantine's side, and the military and political affairs in various places are weakened.
The strength of our Eastern Roman Empire is far from what it used to be.
If it were Constantine 5 When the Ten Emperors were alive, we had no need to fear Western Qin, but now with our national strength, we are no match for them."
"Perhaps the disappearance of a Western Qin caravan within the territory of our Eastern Roman Empire is nothing to the royal figures of the Western Qin Kingdom, but if they have long thought of using force against us, this is a good excuse.
Regardless of the incident, Big or small, no matter what it is, it will work as long as it is an excuse.
General, as a general of the Isaurian dynasty, you cannot plunge the entire empire into war for personal reasons."
Larsius stared at Torun, his teeth chattering, veins bulging on the back of the hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his breathing was rapid.
After a long time, Larsius' expression relaxed, and the hand holding the sword hilt slowly lowered his hand, saying: "Okay, I promise you won't mess around.
But I'm really curious, how can someone like you live in a small town?"
As a magistrate, you should be the chief consul of Constantinople."
"This has nothing to do with you, I'm leaving," Toren said and walked out.
"Wait a minute, Torun" Larsius called to Torun.
Torun stopped and turned around and said, "General, there is still something else to do."
Larsius pondered for a moment and said: "Torun, I would like to ask you a favor.
Please go and talk to the leader of that caravan and ask them to drop the accusation against my brother Mario in front of the Governor.
Also, can I go see Mario and bring a doctor to treat his injury?"
Toren weighed it up and said: "You can go see Mario, or you can bring a doctor to treat his injuries, but we have already treated his injuries, and I believe the doctor you bring will not be any better.
As for asking him to drop the accusation against Mario, I can give it a try.
Whether they agree is beyond my control."
Larsius said: "Please tell them that if they are willing to drop the accusation against Mario and ask the Governor to give him a lighter punishment, they will receive my financial gifts and friendship."
After hearing this, Torun did not answer immediately.
After waiting quietly for a moment, he said: "I will convey the general's words to the steward of the caravan."
"I look forward to hearing from you" Torun returned to the caravan camp outside the small town at the foot of the mountain and told Qin Zipeng about Larsius's request.
After hearing this, Qin Zipeng knew that he could not decide the matter on his own, and only said that he needed to discuss it with other caravan managers.
In the tent, Liu Dan, Dugujun, Liang Zhenwu, Wan Qingming, Zhang Bi and others listened to Qin Zipeng's request from Alasius.

Dugujun asked: "What do you think about this matter?"
Liang Zhenwu said: "I don't think this matter can be left alone.
The guard of a fortress colluded with bandits to rob the caravan's goods.
This is not only a very dangerous thing for the people of their country, but also for those of us who have never It is also a very bad influence for the caravans from the east.
We can't be bullied and break our teeth and swallow it.
Is the matter so bad?"
Dugujun looked at Wan Qingming: "Manager Wan, what do you mean?"
Wan Qingming said: "I think it's better for us to keep a low profile.
We are a caravan.
As the saying goes, peace makes money.
It doesn't seem very wise to offend the guard of a fortress, unless the Qin family's caravan will no longer go this way.
"Business Road" Qin Zipeng was in a state of confusion.
Wan Qingming's words really spoke to his heart.
He was a businessman, but these people were not businessmen.
He didn't know what the purpose of these big shots was in going to the West.
Maybe these people just wanted to go to the West.
After returning, he will never go to the West again, but his Qin family caravan will often go to the West for business in the future.
After offending the guard of a fortress, he still wants to pass smoothly.
But he dare not say this, so he can only be bored.
I am waiting in my heart for the decision of these big shots.
Dugujun looked at Liu Dan: "Manager Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Dan looked at the others and said, "Everyone, you can turn a blind eye to some things, but you can't turn a blind eye to some things.
This is not just an ordinary caravan robbery case, but a collusion between local officials and gangsters.
We can now settle the case of robbing our Western Qin caravan.
Why are you sitting here unharmed?
Is it because there are those two hundred Dragon Guard soldiers?
If replaced by two hundred ordinary bodyguards, can they withstand the attacks of two consecutive groups of bandits?
Even if it is not a collusion between officials and bandits, it is just an ordinary thing.
We can't let the bandits rob the caravan so casually.
The main culprit.
Because we are not from the Western Qin, we are outsiders to the Eastern Roman Empire.
To protect our own rights is to protect the rights of all other Western Qin caravans.
This matter must be resolved officially and cannot be mediated privately.
The function is to make each Eastern Roman Empire officials, garrison generals, nobles, robbers and bandits on the trade routes all know not to think that they can bully our Western Qin caravans casually.
Our interests and rights here are protected.
If they dare to mess around , there will definitely be no good end.”
When Dugu Jun saw what Liu Dan said, he looked at Qin Zipeng and said, "Okay, this matter is settled.
Shopkeeper Qin, please go and inform Tolun of this decision."
Qin Zipeng agreed with a grimace: "Okay, I'll go right away."
In the small town at the foot of the fortress, Torun accompanied Larsius to visit the injured Mario.
Mario was the first criminal who colluded with bandits to attack the caravan.
The crime of collusion between officials and bandits was too great.
This was by no means a crime that could be easily erased.
If the Western Qin caravan doesn't pursue the case, Larsius can still find a way to get through the relationship and deal with it leniently.
But if the Western Qin caravan insists on not letting go, it will be difficult to change the matter.

Mario's injury was not serious.
During the attack, he was hit in the chest by Zhao Ziliang with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd.
His sternum was collapsed due to the blow.
Although he was restored to its original shape by the doctor of the caravan afterwards, the internal injuries were not serious and there were no major injuries.
Half a year of training won't make you better at all.
Mario shouted in front of Larsius: "Brother, you must avenge me.
Those Western Qin caravan guards were so ruthless.
They killed all my people.
Not a single one was left, especially that one."
The person who hurt me, I am already disabled now.
Even if I am healed and can no longer fight, you have to avenge me."
Larsius scolded with a cold face: "Shut up, I think you deserve it.
You are the general of the dynasty.
Who made you so greedy that you actually colluded with bandits to attack the caravan?
Where did you get the courage?"
"I, I" Mario was speechless, but he immediately said: "Brother, I was wrong.
I know I was wrong.
I should not have colluded with the bandits to rob the caravan.
I will never dare to do it again.
Give me a chance." , save me, brother, you must save me, if you don’t save me, I will be finished.”
Larsius cursed: "You got into big trouble by saving you.
You committed a capital crime.
Do you understand how you want me to save you?
Why didn't you consider the consequences before you did it?"
Although Larsius hated this younger brother, he was still his younger brother.
He couldn't bear to really care.
He pulled Toren aside and asked: "Lord Toren, I know you are definitely not an ordinary person.
I want to ask Sir, can my brother Mario be saved?"
Torun said: "If the caravan no longer pursues the matter and does not complain to the diplomatic officials stationed in Adana of the Western Qin Dynasty, this matter will not rise to the diplomatic level, and the empire's face will be saved.
The higher-ups will definitely not want to The whole world knows about this matter, so there should be room for maneuver in terms of punishment, but no matter what, he has to Sai Centurion's position will definitely not be saved; if the caravan does not relent, this matter will rise to the diplomatic level.
At that time, in order to calm down the diplomatic pressure from Western Qin, the higher-ups will definitely punish Mario severely.
Maybe Your brother will also be implicated, and Mario's boss, someone must be responsible for this."
Larsius frowned: "So, Mario's life and death is in the hands of that caravan."
"So to speak" At this time, an official attendant hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in Torun's ear.
Torun raised his head and looked at Larsius.
Upon seeing this, Larsius asked: "Lord Torun, is there any news?"
Torun said: "General, I'm very sorry.
They said that this matter must be resolved through diplomatic channels, otherwise the life and property safety of all Western Qin caravans will not be guaranteed in the future."
"Why don't they agree?"
Larsius' face turned ugly after listening to Torun's story.
Torun sighed: "General, I hope you will put the overall situation first, and at the same time consider your own future.
You can no longer interfere in this matter, otherwise your end will be difficult to predict.
You must know where your status today comes from.
"Not easy" Larsius took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand":
