Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment and said: "Shengshang, why don't you set up a branch in Shanxi, I heard that there are many rich people in Shanxi." ”

Zhu Youxiao said strangely: "Why are there so many rich people in Shanxi?" Do they produce coal there? ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "I heard that there are some coal mines, but the richest ones are not coal mines, they are businessmen from Shanxi. ”

It turned out to be engaged in foreign trade, and it is normal for this to be rich. Slowly, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Check for me, whether they shipped contraband when they did business with the Mongols, and in addition, they must not do business with Jiannu, this is the bottom line, check and tell me." ”

After Wei Zhongxian came out, he immediately called Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. As soon as Xu Xianchun came in, he knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to let him get up, Xu Xianchun stood up after kowtowing all nine heads, and said cautiously: "Father-in-law, what are the instructions for finding a child." ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at him with satisfaction and said, "The Holy Lord has explained one thing, Father-in-law, I think it is more appropriate for you and Tian Ergeng to go, so I will ask you what you mean first." ”

Xu Xianchun immediately knelt down again and said: "The matter assigned by the stepfather, the child must be completed to the letter, please ask the stepfather to give the child a chance to serve, and there is no need to trouble Brother Tian in this matter." ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "I'll say it first, I won't care if I handle some oil and water occasionally, but things must be done for me, not wronged, let alone indulgent, if you let me know that there is something against the holy will behind your back, you should know the means of your father-in-law, you have seen Sun Yunhe's current appearance with your own eyes." ”

Xu Xianchun's crotch tightened, and he kowtowed again and again, saying that he didn't dare. Sun Yunhe was originally also a Jinyiwei, and last time Wei Zhongxian sent him to do something, he spent a lot of time in the process of handling the case, and even openly blackmailed local officials to pay for prostitution. Although the matter was done satisfactorily in the end, Wei Zhongxian said after knowing it: "I don't care about you no matter how you mess around afterwards, but before you can do anything, you start prostitution, and let others pay you, where to put the things explained by the saint." So he castrated him, and now he is grand-grandfather.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Get up, as long as you do the holy things well, you will naturally be rewarded." You take someone to Shanxi and check the local merchants outside the border for me to see if they have shipped contraband out of the customs, to see if they have done business with Jiannu, I want the facts, I don't need you to falsify the facts, do you understand? ”

Xu Xianchun said: "Father-in-law, the child will definitely find out clearly, never wronged a good person, and will not let go of a bad person, please rest assured." ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled: "You can remember the words of the saint clearly, I hope you can also remember clearly when you do things, you go, bring more people, and do things more successfully." ”

After Xu Xianchun came out, he immediately found a few henchmen in Jinyiwei and explained the task. At this time, Wu Mengming, a thousand households under his command, cautiously stepped forward and said: "My lord, those who go abroad to do business are all horse markets, and now Datong Desheng Fort, Xuanfu Zhangjiakou Fort, Datong Xinping Fort, and Shanxi Shuiquanying Fort all have horse markets, and we have to go separately to investigate." ”

Xu Xianchun said: "Then go separately, Wan Song, you go to Fort Victory, I will take people to Zhangjiakou Fort, Liu Chunchen, you go to Xinping Fort, Zhang Sili, you go to Shuiquanying Fort, each person will bring thirty people, how to check, you talk about it first." ”

Everyone immediately began to offer advice one by one, some said that it was enough to arrest the businessman and torture him, some said that he would pretend to be a businessman and go outside the mouth to know if anyone had brought contraband, and some said that he would buy the guys outside the mouth,......

Xu Xianchun concluded: "It is absolutely impossible to directly arrest businessmen and torture them, unless you catch the evidence, then you can torture them as much as you want." If you pretend to be a businessman, you must first find a merchant who has gone outside the entrance in Jingshi, and let them lead the team, otherwise it will be easy for others to see the problem, as for the matter of buying and seducing guys, you might as well try it, everyone first think about how you are going to do it, and then make corresponding preparations, you must find solid evidence, and the factory will not believe it. ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and Xu Xianchun took Wu Mengming and other thirty people to Zhangjiakou Fort, where there was the largest horse market in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhangjiakou Fort belongs to the Jingshi Xuanfu Town, separated from the Great Wall city wall by five miles, Wanli forty-one years, built a castle dedicated to the horse market on the side wall, called Laiyuan Fort, Laiyuan Fort is also called Shangbao, Zhangjiakou Fort is also called Xiabao, commonly known as Fort. All the goods outside the customs in Xuanfu Town must be sent from Zhangjiakou Fort.

Xu Xianchun first came to Zhangjiakou Fort, and the scene he saw made him dumbfounded, in his mind, the name is Zhangjiakou Fort, how prosperous a fort can be, but what he saw was a department store, a car, a horse, a camel, a sheep, a cloth and a tile, a jumping pill and a Qian Pu skills, people on the street come and live, and its prosperous scene is not much better than the Jingshi chessboard street.

Before entering the fort, Jinyiwei had been divided into three groups, and they were scattered in the fort and stayed in the inn, Xu Xianchun took a few people to wander around the street first, ready to find some clues. In his mind, the best way was to pretend to be a merchant and run around the mouth, so that he could know if there was contraband in the things they were carrying, and whether they were doing business with Jiannu, but this method he felt was too troublesome, so he was going to take another path and buy the merchant buddies.

But how do you buy a guy? Passage casually found a guy on the road and said, "Are you willing to do things for Jinyiwei?" "This is obviously not possible, but he and his subordinates are all military households, and they have no experience as businessmen at all, so they don't know how to do this.

A few people like blind flies everywhere, there is no breakthrough at all, the time is close to noon, a few people found a restaurant, first sacrifice the five organs temple and then say.

Xiao Er stepped forward and said, "What do you want to eat?" It's ...... in our shop."

Xu Xianchun waved his hand impatiently and said, "Just bring a few of the dishes in your store, don't drink, and don't ask the rest." ”

When a few people were immersed in eating, they heard a person at the table next to them say: "Brother Wang, I have looked carefully, it is really a good huanghuali, such a cheap price, there is no such shop in this village." ”

The other groaned and said: "I absolutely believe that Huanghuali is the Fan family's shop will not sell fakes, but I feel a little uncomfortable." ”

The first man also stopped talking, just sighed, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, drink wine." ”

Wu Mengming, who was next to Xu Xianchun, had his eyes lit up, glanced at Xu Xianchun, and saw that he was immersed in delicious food, so he couldn't help but sigh softly. This Shangguan is good at everything, but his brain is not very bright.
