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.
