The Que family was wiped out?

This news frightened Sawtel greatly. The entire rich Que family was wiped out overnight, leaving not even a single corpse in the capital. Who is this, with such courage?

"The murderers are the Sejia family!" Zhang Bai gave the answer.In fact, both the Blood Underworld Cult and Taha were involved, and it was unclear who was the mastermind. However, this time it was an information war and a propaganda war, not a war on paper.

Hitting one spot at a time was one of the basic strategies of his previous life in the advertising industry.When it comes to things like information warfare and propaganda competition, in this life, if he claims to be second, who else dares to say that he is first?

Zhang Bai sneered triumphantly in his stomach, asking Father Sauter to announce the news was just one of the steps.

As a Roman envoy, Alexander suddenly went to the palace to insist on an audience with the emperor, which was also one of Zhang Bai's strategies. News of the emperor's death was leaked almost immediately, and there was no way to stop him.

The news of the emperor's death naturally aroused speculation. In the streets, restaurants and teahouses, and in the mouths of ordinary people, all possible heirs were naturally suspects.Including Emir Taha, Princess Tolan, the Sejia family, the Que family, etc., and even the main force of the cavalry regiment currently fighting in the south are suspected.

At this time, the news that the Que family was wiped out immediately narrowed the scope of suspicion.If this news is confirmed to be true, then in public opinion, the Que family cannot be the murderers of the emperor. Instead, it is the enemies of the Que family who are most likely to commit the murder.

Then the Sejia family, which has always been at odds with the Que family, became the biggest suspect.

Then there will be evidence, and Zhang Bai cannot have any evidence.No need, he understands the principle of three people becoming a tiger.

He asked Sauter to send someone to get a lot of paper. He had run out of his own yellow paper, so he had to use local paper.This kind of paper is not the real paper invented in the Central Plains, but parchment paper similar to paper. It is easy to rot, expensive, has poor water absorption, and is very inconvenient to write on.

However, Zhang Bai had money and charcoal, so none of these problems could trouble him.After the parchment arrived, he picked up Zhanlu and cut the large piece of paper into small pieces. Each piece of paper was rectangular, and the length was about the same as the size of his forearm.

Sawtel and others looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do. They only felt that the young Ahurama in red robe was like being possessed by the god Ahura, and what he was doing was extremely mysterious.

In fact, Zhang Bai is just making small advertisements, which are the ones he posted all over the streets in his previous life. They are everywhere on telephone poles, on the ground, on bicycles, and in elevators. "Old Chinese doctor, please call xxxxxx", "Home improvement phone number" xxxxxx", as well as the installation of satellite TV, agency housing, and even advertisements for those indescribable industries.

Of course, I can’t write these things in this life.

What he wrote was also a slogan, and it could be used in the tone of the survivors of the Que family.For example, "The Que family had a strange injustice, and Sega killed people!", "Down with the evil Sega family," "Overthrow the Sega family's behind-the-scenes rule," and so on.

After finishing writing, he handed it over to Sawtell and asked him to assign people to post it everywhere. He also asked them to be careful and not to argue with others even if it was torn off. They could just post it in another place. After posting it, come back here and promise besides.

Throughout the whole day, Sawtel has been buying paper, Zhang Bai has been writing slogans, and beggars, big and small, have been posting slogans outside. They have been busy all day long, and they can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Peshawar. Kind of a weird little slogan.

Early the next morning, several pieces of news came.

First, news came from Sejia Mansion and the Royal Palace, saying that a meeting of nobles and tribes was about to be held. For convenience, this meeting would be held at the Sejia Mansion where the banquet had just been held.

This is a big deal.The Kushan Empire originated from the Dayue clan. They were defeated by the Xiongnu and then moved from Mobei to India.It originated from the grassland and still maintains the habits of the nomadic tribes in the grassland. The tribal leader and even the Khan can be elected, and this kind of tribal meeting is held during the election.

It seems that Minal is gearing up to ascend to the throne.

At the same time, a beggar at the gate of the South City Gate received a piece of inconspicuous news, saying that in the middle of the night, a cavalry secretly opened the South City Gate and went south.

To the south?What does it mean?

South of Peshawar, you can reach the Ganges River Basin by horseback riding for more than a day, which is probably near New Delhi, the capital of India in later generations. The Ganges River Basin was developed later than the Indus River Basin. In this era, you have to go to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River to get there. There are relatively large city-states.

In the south, apart from being a food producing area, Zhang Bai couldn't think of anything else important.

Maybe I don’t have enough information, so I should ask Alexander for advice if I have the chance.

There was also news, allegedly from a newly arrived merchant, that an army was marching rapidly on the western border of the Kushan Empire, and its target seemed to be Peshawar.

"Is it cavalry or infantry?" Zhang Bai asked immediately after hearing the news.

"I don't know. It's definitely not infantry. It seems to be cavalry. But some people say it's a caravan riding camels, not an army."

Zhang Bai heard this in confusion. The news was too inaccurate. What he hoped for most was the Parthian cavalry, and what he feared most was the Sasanian cavalry. If he was not sure, he couldn't just use it as a card that he could use.

He decided to get things done in Peshawar. "Dad Sawtel, is there any movement from the Forbidden Army and Taha?"

"I've sent people to inquire a long time ago. It's quiet on both sides and there's no movement at all." Sawtell replied.

This is very suspicious. Zhang Bai absolutely does not believe that Taha and his Imperial Guards will be completely inactive. He clearly remembers that when the spaceship was parked on the Indus River a few months ago, among all the monitors, the Imperial Guards were the most efficient and disciplined. The people of Sega and Che were much better.

At that time, he did not know who the leader of the Forbidden Army was, but now it seemed obvious that it was Taha. This was not a stoic person.

"Dad, where is the tomb of Emperor Vesuthiva II?" Zhang Bai suddenly asked.

"Cemetery? Is it the Tower of Silence? It should be in the desert mountains southwest of the city. What's wrong...?" Sawtel felt that Ahurama's thinking was too fast and he couldn't keep up.

"What do you usually prepare when you visit the tomb to pay homage to the deceased? Get ready, let's go sweep the tomb."

"Ah?" Sawtel was dumbfounded. "We in Zoroastrianism don't have graves. Don't you know?"

"Huh?" Zhang Bai was also stunned. Not long after he took over as the leader, he had been fighting with various enemies.Regarding the affairs of the church, they were limited to what the Pasha said to him, and there was no mention of Zoroastrian funerals at that time.

Seeing that there was no one around, Father Sauter quickly explained the Zoroastrian funeral ceremony to Zhang Bai.

It turns out that Zoroastrianism believes that if the dead body comes into contact with wood, the wood will be polluted, cremation will pollute the fire, water burial will pollute the water, and burial will pollute the earth, so they adopt the most natural way to complete the cycle of life. , that is sky burial.
