Chapter 015: Secret Investigation

Chenshi Zheng'an Fort.

Liaoxi is the hinterland of the capital of Liaodong, and in addition to laying a solid foundation, the fortress still has the heart of deterring the grassland tribes, and the enemy tribes that the Ming Dynasty needs to pay attention to are not only the Jurchens.

With the passage of time, Zheng'an Fort, which was supposed to be a military fort system, has now been called the world of Xu Catfish.

There is no silver in this world, it can't be done, from the white body to the deputy thousand households, Xu Cat doesn't know how much silver has been thrown on it, but the rewards are also huge.

Walking in Zheng'an Fort, Zhao Zongwu's mind was on observation. The autumn harvest has passed, it stands to reason that the people in the fort should be in the time of farming, but what makes people wonder is that the people in the fort are all closed, two vertical and two horizontal patterns, but there are not many people who really walk around!

'Isn't that weird! ’

Zhao Zongwu didn't know what the situation was in front of him, but he could obviously detect the difference in his heart, in broad daylight, except for the scattered soldiers in the castle, no one was moving?!

Could it be that this is an empty castle?

Even when he thought of this, Zhao Zongwu didn't want to believe this in his heart, after all, the location of Zheng'an Fort was within the range of Guangning.

Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this Zheng'an Castle? ’

Thinking of this, Zhao Zongwu couldn't help but be a little more vigilant in his heart, because he thought of the 'Tazhai model' that appeared in film and television dramas in his previous life!

Although there is no such thing as 'poison and product' in Daming, you must know that Daming's 'salt and iron monopoly' has a huge profit, which makes people blush!

【…… Jurchen, get more than two silver Jiu thousand Qi Bai, Xu Cat, respectfully. At this time, in Zhao Zongwu's mind, the things written on the broken page appeared again.

Nine thousand seven hundred more than two.

Even though silver continued to flow in at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power of this Jiuqi Bailiang alone was still very strong, what business could make such a profit with a single order?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zongwu really noticed that there were several pairs of eyes snooping somewhere, which made him frown, how could he not have imagined that this was the case in Zheng'anbao!

"Hey! Who are you and why are you in Zheng'an Fort! ”

Zhao Zongwu, who was still thinking of continuing to hang out, was stopped by a voice behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a team of more than ten people in armor, holding guns and knives walking towards him!

'Damn! It seems that this Zheng'anbao is not as simple as imagined. ’

After scolding in his heart, Zhao Zongwu walked towards the leading soldier with a smile on his face, but said: "I have seen the military master, I am from Guangning, this is not that I heard that we have cheap 'salt' to sell, so I want to take advantage of today's rest to buy some 'salt', can I save some money......

When he said these words, Zhao Zongwu deliberately slowed down his speech speed in some places, and at the same time constantly observed the situation of the soldiers on the other side.

Moreover, he pretended to tremble and quietly handed over more than ten large coins to the soldiers who came to interrogate him.

It's not okay to have a lot of money, after all, you came to buy salt just to be cheap, and you're handing over a tael of silver, isn't that just a thief shouting to catch a thief?

It's also not good if it's missing, after all, this one, two, and these soldiers can be eye-catching?

For the grasp of people's hearts, Zhao Zongwu's luck can be called a way.

felt that there was more weight in his hands, and he was happy with this income, and immediately changed his attitude: "You said it earlier!" If you want to buy salt, you have nothing to do here, I don't know if you need to go to the Xujia Teahouse to replace the voucher first? You're a first-time fledgling! ”

With the soldier's explanation, Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Master Xie mentioned, if you don't say that I really don't know these things, I don't know the rules when I came here for the first time, I thought I could buy them when I entered the fort......"

"Hmph, don't wander around if it's okay, if you want to buy salt, go to the Xu family teahouse, let us find you again, and arrest you as a slave!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zongwu hurriedly pretended to be panicked, and walked towards the landmark building in the fort, the Xu Family Teahouse, two steps quickly. And the soldiers continued to patrol at this time.

'Fuck! This Zheng'anbao has reached this point in the sale of illicit salt, and everyone in the top level of Quang Ninh is aware of it? ’

'There is definitely a protective umbrella in this Quang Ninh high-level! ’

It seems that this Liaoxi smuggling salt case is far from being as simple as Han Hu said! ’

'Who is this catfish?' ’

On the way to the Xu Family Teahouse, Zhao Zongwu kept thinking in his heart, just from the scene that just happened, he could sense that this Zheng'an Fort was definitely buried with secrets!

At this time, Yu Guang looked at the closed door again, and Zhao Zongwu noticed a little different.

At the end of the day, smoke began to rise above some of the houses in Zheng'anbao, and scattered and some closed doors began to open.

I saw a shirtless strong man, sleepy-eyed and hazy open the door, his hair tied casually, dirty trousers worn, cloth shoes covered with mud, but the lean muscles showed another beauty.

If it's just an example, it's nothing, but on the way to the Xu family teahouse, Zhao Zongwu paid attention to a total of seven families, and coincidentally, these seven men are all like the above, especially the strong muscles are amazing!

You must know that the phenomenon of repeated hunger in Liaodong because of poverty has never been broken, not to mention tendon meat, it is a novelty to have a small piece of meat on this body, and there are seven men all of a sudden who are tendon meat, which also reflects that their daily diet must not be bad!

Every once in a while, there is meat, that is inevitable!

What kind of place can make the men who can be randomly checked are all tendon meat, even if more than half of this Zheng'an Fort are tenants of Xu Catfish, how can Xu Catfish raise such a large number of healthy men?

The only thing that Zhao Zongwu thought about after thinking about it was to sell illicit salt!

If this is not the sale of illicit salt, then it is absolutely impossible for this Zheng'anbao to have so many elite men, and this strange work and rest time is bound to be invisible to people, if it is the business of seeing people, then the atmosphere in this Zheng'anbao will definitely not be like this!

Although there is such speculation in his heart, Zhao Zongwu still likes to speak with evidence.

The investigation he did was to find out the dark ghosts hiding around him, and at the same time, to eliminate the hidden dangers that might arise, so he was willing to investigate in such detail!

If it didn't do him any good, then why did Zhao Zongwu do it?

This society is very realistic, people will not do things that are not beneficial to themselves, and what they can persist in doing will definitely attract a lot of benefits to themselves!

So no matter what you do, the first thing to determine is whether it's good for you!
