Walking on the streets of Taixi, there were the awe-inspiring eyes of the people all around, but Chen Xiaoting was not surprised.

found a restaurant casually, Chen Xiaoting took Liu Jianping and Mu Changge in, and the shopkeeper inside greeted him when he saw it.

"How many masters, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper said with a look of trepidation.

How can this not be frightened, a few Jinyi Wei bigwigs came over, and he had no reception experience in this small restaurant in the county.

There were ten people in Chen Xiaoting's entourage, and the rest stayed in Wang Xiangzhen's mansion, so one table couldn't sit down.

I only heard Liu Jianping say: "Shopkeeper, is there a box upstairs?" ”

The shopkeeper said again and again: "Yes, please go upstairs!" ”

Liu Jianping stepped aside, bowed down to Chen Xiaoting and said, "Your Excellency, please!" ”

The group went upstairs, and the entire restaurant lobby was relieved from the depression, and the diners whispered in low voices.

The people below were liberated, but the shopkeeper and the diners on the second floor were not, and they were all under a lot of pressure at this time.

Entering the box, the shopkeeper was with a sincere look of fear, and after Chen Xiaoting and the others sat down, he asked, "A few officials, what do you want?" ”

Chen Xiaoting said: "Serve a few pots of tea, and then serve some side dishes!" ”

Now on an errand, Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to take his subordinates to drink, so he could only replace wine with tea.

After the shopkeeper left, Chen Xiaoting instructed the first lieutenant to call the current captain of Taixi Zatang.

Liu Jianping felt strange about Chen Xiaoting's actions, and he didn't understand why he wanted to meet the captain of a remote county.

But Chen Xiaoting didn't explain, just asked everyone to eat something first, after all, there was no time to relax along the way.

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later, Zhao Fushun, Taixi's current lieutenant, was taken outside the box where Chen Xiaoting was.

After entering the box, Zhao Fushun immediately saluted and said, "See Lord Zongqi!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then said to him, "Get up!" ”

Only then did Zhao Fushun get up and look at Chen Xiaoting, his eyes were full of awe.

The general banner of the Thousand Households is only half a level shorter than the Hundred Households below, and it is a complete big man for Zhao Fushun.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting smiled, and then said, "No courtesy!" ”

Zhao Fushun got up at this time, and in front of the three bigwigs in the room, he inevitably looked a little cramped.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said to everyone in the room: "You all go out and wait, don't let outsiders get close!" ”

didn't expect both of them to avoid it, Liu Jianping and Mu Changge glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

When everyone went out, Chen Xiaoting spoke: "Captain Zhao, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zhao Fushun immediately bowed down and replied: "I'm tired of the adult, it's okay to be here!" ”

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "What I told you last year, do you remember?" ”

At the beginning, Hu Weide represented the Ministry of War to check Tai Xiwei, and Chen Xiaoting also asked Zhao Fushun to pay attention to this matter in order to know some inside information.

Later, because it was too involved, even Hu Weide was killed, and Chen Xiaoting did not touch this line again.

But now that he is in Taixi again, the curiosity in Chen Xiaoting's heart has come out again, so he brought Zhao Fushun here.

In fact, when he first received this errand, Zhao Fushun did it with his heart, and he was very concerned about his transfer back to Fucheng.

But later, Chen Xiaoting no longer asked about the matter, and there was no sign of being transferred back to Guangde, which made Zhao Fushun also slack.

This time, Chen Xiaoting suddenly asked, but Zhao Fushun couldn't answer, so he had to quickly recall what he found out at the beginning.

Seeing Zhao Fushun's thinking face, Chen Xiaoting didn't urge him, as long as he was thinking, it meant that he had gained.

After a long while, Zhao Fushun spoke: "My lord, Tai Xiwei's matter is very complicated, and I have only seen part of it!" ”

"First of all, there is serious corruption within Taixiwei, and most of the officers have usurped the fields of their subordinates, so that the soldiers have become their tenants!"

"Secondly, in addition to the thousands of households stationed in Luoyun Pass, Taixiwei has complete troops, and the shortage of other thousands of households is also very serious!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Fushun couldn't help sighing: "The soldiers have no land, they can't survive under the officers, and they have to flee with their families desperately!" ”

"In comparison, it is better to be reduced to a tenant of the gentry than to live under the officers!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting was not shocked, because these situations had already been exposed in Jiahewei.

What puzzled him was that Wang Xiangzhen and these people were so bold, and they dared to come so nonsense in a key place like Taixi.

You must know that outside the thousands of people of Tai Xiwei, they have faced the oppression of the Golden Horde, and there may be war at any time.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Xiaoting asked calmly.

These things are not what Chen Xiaoting wants to know the most, because all the guards have these problems.

Zhao Fushun also heard Chen Xiaoting's unhappiness, and after thinking about it, he said: "My lord, there is one more point I don't know whether to say or not!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Xiaoting suddenly came to his senses, so he said, "Say!" ”

Zhao Fu said by the way: "My lord, I suspect that there are people in Taixiwei who are colluding with the people of the Golden Horde!" ”

This is really a big news, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the barbarians outside the customs have colluded, and it is shocking news to say it.

So Chen Xiaoting asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”

Zhao Fushun said: "My lord, I am ...... No evidence for the time being! ”

"Then why do you say that?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

Zhao Fu said by the way: "Because ...... Some of the officials of Tessiewei have dealings with the barbarians, and it can also be said that they are doing business! ”

"Although on the surface it is tea, wine, cloth and silk......"

"But there are often controlled items such as weapons, food, and salt flowing out, and there is only one way out of the customs, Luoyun Pass, and Tai Xiwei controls this road!"

Zhao Fushun's meaning Chen Xiaoting understood, which reminded him of the caravans that entered and exited the pass when he inspected Luoyun Pass with Hu Weide.

In this way, the person in Tessiewei is a problem, and it is an unforgivable big problem.

Could it be that Hu Weide's death has something to do with these? Chen Xiaoting thought so.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so Chen Xiaoting said to Zhao Fushun: "You did a good job, you have merit!" ”

Finally passed Chen Xiaoting's level, Zhao Fushun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hearing Chen Xiaoting praise him made him feel that he had earned.

I only heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Don't relax these clues, follow up for a while, and I will tell you Wang Baihu about returning to Guangde!" ”

The current Guangde Hundred Households is Wang Qiren, and after hearing Chen Xiaoting say this, Zhao Fushun felt a burst of surprise.

But at the same time, he also felt envious of Chen Xiaoting, two years ago Chen Xiaoting was just a lieutenant, but now he can discuss things with hundreds of households.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Fushun said gratefully, this is an indispensable word.

Chen Xiaoting said, "Okay, you can go back first...... Remember, be discreet! ”

Zhao Fushun nodded again and again, and after saluting, he left the box, and Liu Jianping and others came in outside.

"My lord, does this person have an old relationship with you?" The shepherd said at this time.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "It's old!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting drank the last sip of tea, then got up and said, "It's time to go!" ”
