All in all, it is "prohibition" and "bribery", and these things in Zhangjiakou must be harmful to the Ming Dynasty and to himself, the son of tomorrow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Mu thought about it briefly, and it didn't even take more than a second before he immediately understood what was going on, after all, the truth in this was too simple. Grain, and iron are important military materials, and the relationship between the Ming and the Mongols is naturally not a friendly neighbor, but for many years often war, although now the Liaodong Houjin is the Ming Dynasty's henchmen, but the Mongols are also not easy to deal with, often have looting border passes, selling important military supplies to such a potential enemy, this is a big crime.

So if Xiao Mu's "furiousness" just now was an instinctive reaction to the word "bribery" without figuring out the situation, then now Xiao Mu has completely entered the role, and he is extremely angry at this disguised behavior of the enemy.

It's just that Xiao Mu didn't expect that according to Yang Tao's "step-by-step" theory, this was just an appetizer just now, and the real meal was still to come.

"Back to the emperor, there is indeed this matter, and not only the local officials and guards in Zhangjiakou, but also officials in the Xuanfu and even the court and the central government know about this matter." Yang Tao was still a little tactful after all, for the sake of the emperor's dragon body, he did not directly tell the emperor Song Qi's "everyone knows" statement as it is, after all, there will be more "exciting" fierce material in a while, and it is really necessary to try to avoid making the emperor angry with the dragon body.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated! No toleration! When Xiao Mu heard that the situation seemed to be more serious than he thought, and even the officials of the court and the central government were involved, he was even more shocked in his heart, so he immediately said that he must thoroughly investigate the truth and severely deal with the people involved.

It's just that Yang Tao's next report quickly made Xiao Mu have to change his mind, "Your Majesty, this time Lord Luo sent a humble post back to Beijing, and there are important clues to report!" ”

"Speak." When Xiao Mu heard this, Yang Tao still had important things to say, and it seemed that it was probably not a good thing either, and the severity was not much different from the matter of selling grain and iron tools to the Mongols just now.

"Your Majesty, according to Song Qi, a secret agent of Zhangjiakou Jinyi Guard, Wang Dengku and others are very likely to have an affair with Huang Taiji's Jiannu army and sell them important materials such as grain and iron tools." Yang Tao finally reported this "fierce news" to Xiao Muting, "It is reported that since the beginning of this year, Huang Taiji has been at war with the Mongolian Chahar Department......

Yang Tao told Xiao Mu all of Song Qi's analysis, including the defeat of the Mongols in the Chahar tribe and the loss of a large amount of purchasing power, but Wang Chengku instead made a detailed report on the many anomalies of the large purchase of goods.

"Thief Ann Dare!" After Xiao Mu listened to Yang Tao's report, he stood up and shouted, so frightened that Wang Chengen and Yang Tao both knelt on the ground, and said "The emperor is angry" again and again.

In fact, since the crossing, Xiao Mu's own, or Emperor Chongzhen's original physical fitness, seems to have not been very good, since the last "patrol" soon suffered from a cold, and the later fainting can prove this. So after listening to the appalling information that Yang Tao just said, Xiao Mu, who had not rested well last night, coupled with the sudden standing up from the state of sitting, Xiao Mu suddenly felt that his eyes were a little black, and there seemed to be some "buzzing" sounds in his ears, and his body shook - obviously, Xiao Mu also knew very well that he was afraid that he was about to faint again.

But fortunately, Wang Chengen's eyes were quick, and when he saw that Xiao Mu's situation was wrong, he quickly got up and stepped forward to support Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu was supported by Wang Chengen in time, so he didn't fall down, and reluctantly sat back on the dragon chair.

Although Xiao Mu had made some mental preparations, knowing that what Yang Tao was going to say was definitely not a good thing, but after Yang Tao really reported it, Xiao Mu still found that his imagination was really a little pale compared to reality, so that he sat for a long time without speaking, so that Wang Chengen, who was supporting him on the side, and Yang Tao, who was kneeling below, were all nervous.

Rubbing his temples with his hands, Xiao Mu said to Yang Tao, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, saying "Despicable is guilty, despicable deserves death", "You are not guilty, I was too excited just now." This case is too serious, you should hurry up and tell me all about your experience in Zhangjiakou. ”

Yang Tao stood up again, Xiao Mu could clearly see that blood had oozed from his forehead, and listened to him speak, "Back to the emperor, the humble position is equivalent to arriving in Zhangjiakou two days ago, first Hu Yun's injuries were repeated, and he was unconscious......

Yang Tao told Xiao Mu in detail about their experience in Zhangjiakou, starting from Hu Yun's coma, to the disappearance of Zhang Chao, who went out to catch him for medicine, and then they searched for two days without results, as well as the analysis of Song Qi, Jinyiwei's secret agent in Zhangjiakou, and finally Luo Yangxing sent Luo Zhenxing to infiltrate Wang Dengku's caravan to investigate, and sent him back to Beijing to report all the things that were told to Xiao Mu as they were.

In this way, the sale of grain and iron tools by unscrupulous merchants in Zhangjiakou to the Mongols has long been known and well known; The transaction between Wang Dengku and others and Houjin Emperor Taiji is still in the secret stage, although it is basically certain but there is no definite evidence, Luo Yangxing sent Luo Zhenxing to investigate. Xiao Mu briefly summarized Yang Tao's account, and then asked, "Is that so?" ”

"The emperor is wise." Yang Tao said affirmatively to Xiao Mu's summary, and this is not flattery, what Xiao Mu just said is indeed the real situation at the moment.

"Well, I know, this matter is very important, I have to deal with it carefully......" Xiao Mu pondered for a while, and finally said, "You have worked hard all the way, go down to rest first, and bandage your forehead by the way, if I think of something, I will naturally ask you." ”

"Emperor Xie, only a small injury is not enough to worry about." Yang Tao said, "I retired from my humble position. ”

"Otomo go give him a ride." Xiao Mu instructed Wang Chengen.

So Wang Chengen took Yang Tao and left, after leaving the palace gate, Yang Tao's body was weak and fell down, after all, he had been in a hurry for so long, and he had been in front of the emperor for so long, and he was extremely tired at this time.
