At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 442
Yuan Bin no longer kept secrets, and detailed the information that Jin Yiwei had obtained.

This caravan is all Mongolians, and their signboard is called Guolemut Leather Goods Firm. On the surface, it is a leather business, and there is nothing unusual. However, when we look back and check the accounts, we immediately find a problem.

In fact, Jin Yiwei's investigation of information is very simple, and there is no need for evidence at all. As long as they think your behavior is suspicious, they will investigate secretly, and if necessary, they can directly detain you.

As for the process of handling the case, the formalities...

It's just a joke, Jin Yiwei still needs this thing?

Through the accounts, it is intriguing to find that the Guolemut Leather Goods Firm has been selling at low prices for half a year.

In business, it is natural that there are losses and profits, but, as Yuan Bin said, only losses but no profits for half a year, what is the boss of the firm planning?
The shopkeeper of the caravan, the buddy, and a dozen grooms, people eat horse chews, but it is not a small consumption.

Jin Yiwei was pervasive, and quickly checked the Guolemut firm.

Guolemut is a place name. In Mongolian, Guole means river, Guolemut is the Mut River, and Guolemut is a market town located on the banks of the Mut River.

The boss behind this firm is called Hardan Bateer. This person was originally an Oirat nobleman. When he was in Mobei, he survived by luck.

After the imperial court launched the New Deal, the desert has also become completely new.

Under the call and leadership of the government, the common people began to try to reclaim wasteland, plant land, and establish various workshops, and gradually, they became almost the same as the Central Plains people.

However, there are still some people who are unwilling to change their living habits. For example, Hardan Battelle has continued to expand his pasture since the New Deal.

Jin Yiwei followed the vine, and quickly found out that Hadanbaatar hadn't made a profit at all in the past three years, but his ranch grew bigger and bigger. In Guolemut, half of the grassland was his ranch.

That can only explain one problem, someone is funding him behind the scenes!

Moreover, the caravan under him ran to the capital again and again, and returned the goods as soon as the time came, as if it was just for the sake of time, and the loss was not important.

And Hadanbaatar himself is an Oirat nobleman. Over the years, his aristocratic privileges have long since ceased to exist, so it makes sense to be dissatisfied with the court.

Some people are behind the scenes, and they go to the capital on time every month. Combining many factors, it is almost certain that the identities of these people are not simple, and there must be a conspiracy brewing behind them.

However, Jin Yiwei has not yet found out who is the mastermind behind Hardan Battelle.

Yuan Bin had already realized the seriousness of the problem, and said: "I will go to Mobei now, arrest Hadanbaatar, and torture him severely. If you don't believe him, you will not be recruited!"

Zhu Qizhen looked solemn, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not difficult to catch a spy, I'm just worried that I'll startle the big fish behind me, you can't be in a hurry when fishing..."

When it comes to fishing, for some reason, I feel inexplicably sad.

"...In short, you can't scare the snake away, find the person behind it, and wipe it out completely, so that you can get it done once and for all!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin clasped his fists in salute, and seemed to think of something again, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think there is... any connection between this matter and Qi Qike?"

Qiqike is the princess of Wala, and her identity is destined to be regarded as the first suspect.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

Yuan Bin frowned, and asked, "Could it be that the emperor found a new clue?"

"There are no clues, just feelings!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment, and then said: "She has a special identity. If there is any disturbance in Mobei, anyone will suspect her immediately. Take a step back and say that even if she does nothing, she is also a key prevention target." , how could it be possible to do things blatantly under my nose?"

After Yuan Bin listened, he nodded and said: "That's the truth, she must be very clear that her every move is under the surveillance of the court, if this matter has nothing to do with her, then the biggest possibility is the Tatar Ministry! "

Looking at the entire desert, the only one who has the guts to do something and take action is Tutuo Buhua who fled far to the north.

Over the years, Tuotuo Buhua has disappeared without a trace, as if disappearing from this world.

If it wasn't for the war between Beishanwei and Yecha Kingdom, we haven't found it yet... Wait!
A thought flashed in Zhu Qizhen's mind, Bei Shanwei found the traces of the Tatar tribe, could it be a conspiracy?
"Map!"

Yuan Bin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and took out a map.

Many locations were circled with a red cinnabar pen on the map, especially in the desert, where there were dense circles, and the most eye-catching one was Guo Lemut.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "It's not this picture, I want to leave the ghost country!"

Yuan Bin hurriedly searched again, and after a long time, he came up with a picture marking Liugui Country.

However, the outline of the terrain on this map is very vague, and Zhu Qizhen can see at a glance that the information marked in some places is wrong.

Based on his memory, he searched north along the Kamchatka Peninsula, drew a circle at the location of the Yaksha country, and murmured: "It's really weird!"

Yuan Bin asked: "What does the emperor mean by weird?"

Zhu Qizhen frowned, stared at the map for a long time, and then said: "Beishanwei's combat power is enough to sweep everything in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Why did Tuotuobuhua persuade the Yecha Kingdom to attack south?"

Yuan Bin thought for a while, and said: "It should be because Tuotuobuhua thought that Beishanwei's landing on the island had already posed a threat, so he wanted to strike first."

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "It's better to strike first, and you can't use an egg to touch a stone. If you persuade those barbarian tribes in the Yecha Kingdom to attack Beishanwei, you know that you will definitely lose. What is the meaning of Tutuo Buhua?"

"Your Majesty, I guess... Could it be that there was a conflict between the Yasha Kingdom and the Tatars, and Tutuo Buhua's move is a borrowed knife to kill?"

"If the two are in a hostile relationship, then why did the Prime Minister Zuo of the Tatar Ministry mix with the soldiers and horses of the Yasha Kingdom, and the Yasha Kingdom still listens to it?"

Yuan Bin suddenly fell into deep thought, yes, Tuotuobuhua is not a fool, why should the strength of Yasha Kingdom be wasted for nothing?
Now that the Tatars are in the extremely cold place in the extreme north, the number of people they can win over is very limited. After finally pulling the Yaksha country into the water, they should accumulate strength together and plan big things. Why should they go to die?

Things have become more and more strange, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find the answer based on imagination.

Right now, the only way to force Hadan Battelle to tell the truth is to take him to Zhao Prison and have a full set of experience.

However, if you do this, Tuotuobuhua will be alarmed. This grandson runs like a mad dog, and he can't catch up with him on horseback. If he doesn't follow his tricks and catch him, it may be difficult for him to show up again in the future.

"Your Majesty, do you mean..."

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and said: "I don't have anything to do, just keep watching, and notify me as soon as you have any clues."

"Yes!"

After leaving Beizhen Prefecture, Zhu Qizhen looked around and asked, "Wynn, is there anything interesting in the capital recently?"

"what……"

Wynn looked a little embarrassed and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the palace?"

"Not urgent!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "I'm bored, take me to a lively place to relax."

Wynn was very conflicted, and thought to himself, I don't go out of the palace very often, how do I know what lively places are there?
"Forget it, you don't know, so just walk around!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and walked towards the street.

Huai En hurriedly followed him, feeling very anxious. The emperor left the palace without the company of his guards. What if something happened to him?

"Your Majesty, why don't you inform Commander Yuan and send some secret sentinels..."

"No need!"

Zhu Qizhen had already come to the street, and said without turning his head: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the world is bright and bright, what is there to worry about?"

Wynn's forehead was covered with sweat. Although he was in charge of Dongchang, he didn't know martial arts. If something really happened, he didn't know who would protect whom...

Fortunately, the law and order has improved a lot now, and the emperor decided to leave the palace temporarily, so nothing should happen.

Oh, if only!
Take a look east and west of Zhuqi Town, the current capital is already quite prosperous, with all kinds of shops and stalls on the street, a dazzling array, quite a bit of the style of the prosperous age.

"Wynn!"

"The servant is here!"

Wynn hurriedly walked a few steps and followed.

"Do you know a famous painter?"

"Painter?"

Wynn didn't know what to say, his eyes were very confused.

"Yes, painter!"

While wandering around, Zhu Qizhen said, "Have you heard of the Qingming River Scene?"

"Your majesty, you are joking. This picture is kept in the palace. The slaves saw it with their own eyes when they checked the collection."

Wynn didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about the painter, and then about the painting of the river during the Qingming Festival. He was only worried that he didn't do a good job in his work, and he was careful when he spoke.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Why are you so restrained?"

"This... slaves are terrified..."

"What are you afraid of? Don't be restrained when I come out to hang out with you, otherwise, people will see that your identity is different at a glance."

"Oh, yes, yes..."

Wynn suddenly realized, then settled down and tried to pretend to be a passerby.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "I just mentioned the painting of Shanghe during the Qingming Festival, which was made by Zhang Zeduan, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. Now that the people of my Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, it is worthy of the words Qingming World. Why don't we learn from the ancients and come up with a Ming version. How about the Qingming Riverside Picture?"

Wynn smiled all over his face and said: "What the emperor said is that the servants will go to find the painter when they come down."

At this time, Zhu Qizhen stopped suddenly, pointed to the front, and asked, "What do you think is that?"

Wynn took a closer look, and there was a shop not far ahead, with the words "Guole Mutt Leather Goods" hanging on the door.

"This is……"

"Let's go and have a look!"

While speaking, Zhu Qizhen stepped forward, and Huai En hurriedly followed, persuading: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Why not?"

"Commander Yuan said that these people are Tatar spies, they are very dangerous!"

"Since you are a secret agent, you must act in secret. Have you ever seen a secret agent who can use a knife at every turn?"

"But……"

Wynn was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and was sweating profusely.

He was not good at words, and it really broke his heart to meet such a willful emperor as Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen turned around and persuaded: "Don't worry, we are merchants who go to buy leather, calm down!"

"This... ok!"

Wynn thought to himself, destroy it, I'm tired!

Hurry up and get someone to assassinate you. At worst, I will die with you, which will save you from worrying all day and night and having nightmares at night.

The two of them were dressed in casual clothes. From outsiders' perspective, they thought they were master and servant, and didn't care.

"Guest officer, do you want to see the skin?"

A young man came up to meet him. It seemed that he was a man of this firm.

Zhu Qizhen didn't speak, but showed a mysterious look.

Seeing this, Wynn stepped forward, suppressed his throat, and asked, "what kind of leather do you have here?"

The guy understood at a glance that the boss ignored him because his status was only good enough to talk to his servants. However, the fact that he opened the door to do business was normal, so he didn't feel annoyed.

"We mainly have cow and sheep skins here, as well as some fox and wolf skins. What do you want to see?"

Wynn looked at Zhu Qizhen, then frowned, and said: "My master is still standing, is this how you treat guests?"

"Oh, look... I'm so sorry!"

The guy quickly brought a chair, Wynn wiped it with his sleeve, and said, "Sir, sit down."

Zhu Qizhen was also polite, he lifted his clothes and sat on the chair.

At this time, the waiter came over with a tea bowl and said, "Guest officer, drink tea!"

Wynn took the tea bowl, put it beside Zhu Qizhen, and said, "My master is also in business. I heard that your leather is cheaper than outside. Is there such a thing?"

"Ah, this..."

The guy looked a little hesitant, and said: "We Mongolians are not very good at doing business. Anyway, we can sell if the price is right. It doesn't matter if there is more or less!"

Wynn said with a fake smile: "according to the way you do business, don't you have to lose everything?"

"In business, no one can guarantee a steady profit."

The two chatted for a long time, Zhu Qizhen saw that the time was ripe, and said: "Cow and sheep skins are not worth much, the masters of the capital like wolf fur coats, do you have any goods here?"

The guy said: "There are, but not many."

Wynn asked, "How many?"

"There are about twenty or so wolf skins. If you want to make fur clothes... you can't make a few."

A good wolf fur coat requires at least ten pieces of wolf skins, more than twenty pieces, and only two pieces can be made, and at most three pieces.

Wynn asked again: "I heard that you have a lot of hunting over there, why are you so skinny?"

"You're joking..."

The man smiled and said, "Nowadays there are people everywhere, and there are no wolves for a long time."

"Why?"

"It's almost gone, where are the wild wolves?"

Wynn glanced at Zhu Qizhen, seeing that he was just drinking tea with his head down, so he said: "Clean up your wolf skin here, my master wants it all."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The man hurried to prepare, and after a while, he bundled more than 20 wolf skins and brought them to the front.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at the wolf skin and asked, "Where did you get these skins?"
