Everyone marched towards Heiyu, and at the gate of the stockade, they found that there was not even a person guarding the door. Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Stop for a while, Jinyiwei will go to the two of them to take a look." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Why are you so careful, are you still afraid of something happening in the mainland?" There are so many of us, and the Mongolian 3,000 cavalry can't please them. ”

Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said: "Holy Lord, there is no big mistake in being careful, the slave and maid are burdened with heavy responsibilities, and they dare not be sloppy." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't, so he had to stop, and after a while, the Jinyi guard who was exploring the road came back and said, "They are all gathered in the field and are quarreling?" ”

Wei Zhongxian was relieved and asked, "What are you arguing about?" ”

Jin Yiwei replied: "It seems to say that the thousands of households in the guard are unfair, and those military households are clamoring to tie up thousands of households." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Li Dujian, you lead the troops to control them first, and then we will come again." ”

Zhu Youxiao was angry: "This little thing, you don't have to wait for it, Li Dujian will go first, and we will follow." Then he walked forward.

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to run to Zhu Youxiao and let the guards guard carefully. When the group came to the field, the army had already surrounded the soldiers, but those soldiers were not afraid and had already tied up the thousand households.

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and said, "Who is in charge, come out and speak." ”

A strong man came out of it and said, "Who are you?" ”

Wei Zhongxian held a sign in his hand and said: "See clearly, this is the sign of the Dongchang Investigation Division, if you have any grievances, you can tell me, but first you have to release the thousand households." ”

The strong man didn't look like an internal official when he saw Wei Zhongxian, he just thought he was an ordinary head of the East Factory or something, so he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Lord of the East Factory, you don't know what we Qianhu do, we have to send him to the capital and hand him over to the emperor, we know the great edict of Taizu, this is not illegal." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang did say in his edict that the people could send the officials who committed the crime to the capital, and other officials not only could not stop them, but also needed to provide convenience. Moving out this article can indeed bluff ordinary officials, but Wei Zhongxian is certainly not among them.

He flipped his hand, held up a sign again, and said: "See clearly, this is the sign of the Emperor's Order, this place is now taken over by me, and people can hand it over to me directly." ”

The strong man couldn't believe it, so he turned his eyes to the front of the brand and looked at it carefully, in fact, he hadn't seen the Qincha brand, and he couldn't read, but the intricate patterns on it could still be understood. He turned around and shouted, "He, come and see if it's true?" ”

A thin man in his thirties walked out very reluctantly, without looking at the sign, and said weakly: "What do you see, of course it's true." ”

The strong man said: "You don't even look at it, how do you know it's true?" ”

The thin man said: "With so many soldiers here, who dares to pretend to be Qincha?" That's a great crime to kill the head. ”

After that, he knelt down on the ground and said, "He Tengjiao, the grass people, pay a visit to Lord Qincha." Because of the thousands of households Zhang Zheng's fornication with Mongolia and the unfairness, the grass people wanted to send them to the capital to ask for the guilt. ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but glance at He Tengjiao, this person is sensitive, he is not very old, but he is faintly the leader of these military households, and he is a character.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Zhang Zheng fornicated with Mongolia, is there any evidence?" ”

He Tengjiao said: "The evidence is conclusive, and the human and material evidence is there. ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao waved his hand. Wei Zhongxian turned to He Tengjiao and said, "Take us to the lobby, this ...... The officer is to interrogate him personally. ”

He Tengjiao took Wei Zhongxian and others to the lobby to inquire about the case, and Zhu Youxiao asked a few military households to inquire about the situation in the village.

Because Heiyu is far away from the main road and the traffic is inconvenient, he has been living a hard life, and some military households can't survive, so they fled. And He Tengjiao was originally from Liping Mansion, Guizhou, and came here as a guest army, because the number of military households here was insufficient, so he settled here.

After coming here, He Tengjiao found that there was money to be made in trading with the Mongols, so he imported some goods from all over the country and began to do business with the Mongols, which greatly changed everyone's lives.

And Qianhu Zhang Zheng first supported He Tengjiao's approach, and when He Tengjiao broke out of a trade route, he took action to take this trade route into his own hands. Originally, the transaction was obtained, and He Tengjiao distributed dividends from two aspects: the number of households and the capital he made. And Zhang Zhengze became half of his own, and half of the rest of the people.

Taking people's money is like killing their parents, everyone is very resentful of Zhang Zheng's behavior, but there is nothing they can do. He didn't want Zhang Zheng to find his own death, so he led a team to the grassland, and found that iron tools, especially weapons, were very valuable, and their profits could be more than ten times, so he decided to sell the weapons of Qianhusu to the Mongols.

He Tengjiao and others objected, while Zhang Zheng thought that this thousand households stayed in the deep mountains and old forests, and instead of letting the weapons rust in vain, it was better to sell them for money, and wait for two years to report the loss, and then they could get new weapons.

He Tengjiao's dissuasion was ineffective, so he began to contact the military households, pointing out that if Zhang Zheng was defeated, everyone in the entire thousand households would not escape death.

The military households were originally dissatisfied with Zhang Zheng's distribution plan, and now they are afraid of being punished by the imperial court. As soon as He Tengjiao instigated, everyone made a noise, rushed into the thousands of households, arrested Zhang Zheng, and shouted to send him to the capital.

In the lobby, the military households moved out the weapons of the various military households that Zhang Zheng had collected, and Zhang Zheng had nothing to say. I only knew that he kept kowtowing, wanting Wei Zhongxian to let him go.

Wei Zhongxian asked people to ask Zhu Youxiao again, and Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Don't kill, exile, send to Japan." Let that He Tengjiao be a generation of thousands of households first, and wait until the Ministry of War is filed to be promoted to a thousand households. ”

The result of this treatment is satisfactory to all parties. Zhang Zheng escaped with his life, although I heard that the place in Japan is not very good, but the Ming people went to Japan, that is to be a superior person. And the military households finally drove away the greedy Zhang Zheng, and He Tengjiao, who was fair, was appointed as the new thousand households, and they were naturally overjoyed.

He Tengjiao thought that he was just a general banner, and he was promoted to a thousand households all of a sudden, this kind of super promotion was too terrifying, and he was worried that it would make the military department have something to say. Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Even if you are mentioned as a general and general soldier, the military department does not dare to say a word." ”

He Tengjiao was shocked and understood that the young man outside was the emperor, and the leader of the Dongchang who followed the emperor was obviously the factory governor Wei Gonggong. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The grass people have thanked the factory for their great kindness. ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, you are not a grass citizen now, you are a fifth-grade official." Don't thank the family, remember the kindness of the saint, work hard, the saint likes brave and clever soldiers. ”

He Tengjiao said happily: "The last general must be loyal to the emperor, thank the factory for forgiving the last general's unauthorized crime, and thank the factory for the promotion." ”
