"Proprietor, this is Zhuolu Trading Company?" Steward Qian followed behind Zhiwen and asked suspiciously.

This is a large mansion covering a very large area, the gate is closed, and there is a lock on the door, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the lock, which has obviously been idle for a while, and the door is empty, and there is no plaque or the like, so it is not obvious that it is a place where a trading company is located.

"That's right." Zhiwen scratched his head, this town is not big, the houses are built on both sides of the official road, it is impossible to get lost, I went to Zhangjiakou a year ago, I and others also rested here for a night, at that time a lot of people have been transferred from Zhuolu Mountain, Zhou Chengyun also said that it is necessary to immediately build a "Zhuolu Trading Company" The plaque is hung on the door, and now not only the plaque is missing, the whole house is empty, what is going on?

"Brother Liu, I remember the place correctly, right?" Zhiwen turned his head and asked Liu Cai, he was a little unsure.

Liu Cai nodded affirmatively, "This town is so big, you can't be wrong." ”

"That's... Why is there no one? Zhiwen looked through the crack in the door and saw that it was indeed empty.

"Could it be a change of place, proprietor?" Qian Guan did not doubt the authenticity of this Zhuolu trading company, after all, Zhiwen returned to the Central Plains from outside the Saiwai, and the big money on the way could not be faked.

Liu Cai shook his head, "The largest courtyard in the town is here, and it was not enough at the time, wouldn't it be even smaller in other places?" ”

"Could it be that another big mansion was built and then moved?" Xue Ping asked.

"It's possible." Zhiwen said that Zhou Chengyun has always spent money on the atmosphere, and he said at the time that this courtyard is just a transition, and he will definitely build a new set in the future.

"Let's go find out." Bagan immediately said doggedly, jumped on the horse, and was about to leave with Chaolu and Chagan.

"Come back," Zhiwen stopped, "Do you know how to read, are you going to investigate?" ”

When Bagen heard this, he grinned and smirked, as Zhiwen said, he didn't know a single big character, even if he saw the plaque with the four words Zhuolu Trading Company, he didn't know it.

"Brother Liu, you are familiar with the place, please look for it in the town." Zhiwen instructed, the place is not big, there is such a literate person as Liu Cai, it is enough to find it on a horse.

After a while, Liu Cai rode back, got off the horse, and shook his head silently at Chong Zhiwen, obviously no gain.

"Forget it, open the door and go in and see what happens." Zhiwen ran out of patience and ordered directly.

Bagan pulled out his scimitar with a "swish", and was about to step forward and swing the knife to slash the lock.

"Proprietor, let's just break down the door and be seen, will we...?" In the end, the money manager is more serious, for fear that this move will cause trouble for everyone, this is the Central Plains, not as unrestrained as the grassland.

"It's okay!" Zhiwen waved his hand and motioned for Bagen to continue, he knew that Steward Qian was worried that the government would interfere, but along the way, Zhiwen had already seen the essence of the strong and middle-class cadres of the official army clearly.

Their horse team, in addition to the large scale, the Mongolian people are also strong, not only everyone has a knife and a gun, that is, the bow and arrow that is strictly forbidden by the Ming Dynasty, but also almost a pair of hands, it stands to reason that there should have been an official army who took the initiative to find trouble, but the road was safe and sound, even if they met the officers or caught fast, they also turned a blind eye to the unconcealed bow and quiver of the Mongolian people, let alone to check the identity of everyone.

"Smack!" Under Bagen's sharp scimitar, the copper lock was broken in response, Zhiwen led everyone to push the door in, and walked through the courtyard, the tables and chairs in the room were still there, but they looked a little messy, and there were some grains scattered on the ground, obviously in a hurry when they left, and there was nothing else.

"Proprietor, could something be wrong?" Steward Qian asked.

"Maybe." Zhiwen is very sure that there are those two passes in Zhuolu Mountain, and he is not worried.

"I also said that tonight I asked the trading company to prepare some delicious food for everyone, so that everyone can have a good meal, it seems that it will not work." Zhiwen was slightly regretful, "Let's go, find some chains or something, lock the gate, spend the night in this town tonight, and go back to the mountain tomorrow to see what happened." ”

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhiwen was sitting by the fire with three girls having breakfast, when Xue Ping, Tao Yong and Hai Dongqing hurriedly came.

"Yo, it's early." Zhiwen swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Childe, sentry! Last night and this morning, we caught a lot of sentry spies! Xue Ping's expression was serious, last night he volunteered to take someone to clean up the stalking, and wanted to explore the way to Zhuolu Mountain, so Zhiwen asked the head snake willow to help.

"Oh!" Zhiwen didn't care, "Why, these stalking people are so annoying, they don't want to leave?" Didn't you say that if you can't do it, you can kill a few people and make a threat? ”

The murderous Liwei mentioned by Zhiwen is not to kill these spies in public, but to lure them to a secluded place to do something, as long as a few people disappear quietly, everyone will know what is going on, and they will not be afraid of getting into trouble.

"Stalking? The stalker was shot a few arrows, and they all scattered, so there was no need to worry. Xue Ping said, "These sentry detectives were found on the way to Zhuolu Mountain, sneaky and uneasy, so I arrested them all." ”

"Ouch!" Zhiwen jumped up, "That's my own family, what's the matter?" Are there any casualties? "The spies near Zhuolu Mountain, according to common sense, even if they are not Ma Er's subordinates, they are all villagers who help their families.

Xue Ping shook his head slowly, "Childe, the blame is here, at first we also thought like you, when we found the first spy, Liu Cai revealed his identity, but this person didn't seem to understand, but turned around and wanted to run, we had to capture him, and then Liu Cai said that this person's eyes were tight and he didn't know him." ”

Although Liu Cai and Ma Er are not very familiar with each other, they have basically met his subordinates, so that they will not be blind, and if they are nearby villagers, they will not know each other.

"Oh!" Zhiwen thought of the inexplicable and unoccupied Zhuolu Trading Company's house, as well as this strange spy, it seems that Zhuolu Mountain is in trouble?

"So," Xue Ping continued, "the incident happened suddenly, and we arrested all these sentry agents on the way into the mountain without consulting with you, and I want you to identify them and see if they are our own people." ”

"Well done!" Zhiwen patted Xue Ping's arm and said approvingly, his current height can't reach Xue Ping's shoulder, "All of them have been caught?" ”

If you are an enemy, if you let one of these sentries go, you will leak your news.

Hai Dongqing proudly answered, "Don't worry, son, who are we, if the terrain is not familiar, it is possible to let these people escape, since Liu Cai is here, where will one person be spared." ”
