The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

The news spread quickly, and relatives and friends came to visit one after another.

Someone in the court had brought up the matter concerning Pei Qin, stating she had strongly supported An Liefeng in setting up a manufacturing workshop in the military to train with emergency weapons. Moreover, many of the workshop staff had followed her previously.

Mo Heng submitted the military weapons management regulations on the spot. The Manufacturing Bureau and the workshop were listed as key confidential sites, and the manufacture, transport, and trade of firearms were discreetly and rigorously regulated due to numerous past incidents of spies attempting to steal firearm secrets.

"As My Great Chu grows stronger, while the foreign tribes show their deference, they also covet and spy on My Great Chu’s firearm secrets. Once the secrets of the firearms spread, it’s not only about people exploiting them for huge profits, but it wouldn’t be a world coming to congratulate us, but rather a world at war!"

Although he didn’t directly accuse Luo Zhen of any wrongdoing, he clearly hinted that Luo Zhen, not a workshop employee, entering and leaving the workshop had ulterior motives and was engaged in espionage.

Those who harbored doubts immediately abandoned any thoughts of raising their voices. It was obvious Mo Heng had come prepared, and they feared they couldn’t defend themselves if they said more.

Mo Heng seemed to not focus much on Luo Zhen’s case. The regulations and rules were meticulous and logical, perfect to a fault in terms of managing military weapons.

Firearm management had always been discussed in the court, and some rules had been simply set, but they paled in comparison to his.
