Chapter 436 The mastermind behind the scenes(1/2)
Yuan Bin no longer concealed anything, and detailed the information obtained by Jin Yiwei.
This caravan was all Mongolian, and their brand name was Golemut Fur Trading Company. On the surface, they were engaged in leather business, and there was nothing unusual about it. However, when I went back and checked the accounts, I immediately discovered a problem.
In fact, it is very simple for Jinyiwei to detect information. No evidence is needed at all. As long as they think your behavior is suspicious, they will investigate secretly. If necessary, they can directly detain you.
As for the process and procedures of handling the case...
This is just a joke, Jin Yiwei still needs this thing?
Through the accounts, I found that Golemut Fur Goods Trading Company has been shipping goods at low prices for half a year. This is very intriguing.
In business, there are naturally losses and profits. However, as Yuan Bin said, what is the boss of the trading house trying to do if he has only made losses but no profits in the past six months?
There were more than a dozen caravan managers, clerks, and grooms, and they all ate horse chews, which was a lot of consumption.
The Jin Yiwei were all-pervasive and quickly investigated Golemut Trading Company.
Golemut is a place name. In Mongolian, Golem means river, Golemut is the Mut River, and Golemut is a market town located on the banks of the Mut River.
The boss behind this business is called Hadan Batter. This man was originally a nobleman from Wala. When he was young, he followed him to fight in the north and south. Later, he was injured and left the military camp. It was for this reason that he was swept away by the Ming army.
When I was in Mobei, I was lucky enough to survive.
After the imperial court launched the New Deal, the desert also became completely new.
Under the call and leadership of the government, the people began to try to reclaim wasteland, farm land, and build various workshops. Gradually, they became almost the same as the people in the Central Plains.
However, there are still some people who are unwilling to change their living habits, such as Hardan Bartel, who has continued to expand his pastures since the New Deal.
Jinyiwei followed the clues and quickly found out that Hardanbaatar had not made any profit at all in the past three years, but the scale of his ranch was getting bigger and bigger. In Golemut, half of the grasslands were his ranch.
That can only mean one thing, someone is funding him behind the scenes!
Moreover, the caravans under him ran to the capital again and again, dumping the goods and returning when the time came, as if they were just to save time, and the loss and profit were not important.
Hardanbaatar himself is a Wala noble. Over the years, his noble privileges have long ceased to exist, so it makes sense to be dissatisfied with the court.
There are people behind the scenes who make the trip to the capital on time every month. The combination of many factors makes it almost certain that the identities of these people are not simple, and there must be a conspiracy brewing behind them.
However, Jin Yiwei has not yet found out who is the mastermind behind Hadan Battle.
Yuan Bin had already realized the seriousness of the problem and said: "I will go to Mobei right now, arrest Hadan Battle, and torture him severely. If you don't believe him, he won't kill him!"
Zhu Qizhen looked solemn, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not difficult to catch a spy. I'm just worried about startling the big fish behind me. Don't be impatient when fishing..."
Speaking of fishing, I don’t know why, but I feel inexplicably sad.
"...In short, we can't alert the snake, find the person behind it and eliminate it completely, so that we can solve it once and for all!"
"yes!"
Yuan Bin cupped his fists and saluted, and seemed to have thought of something again, and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think there is any connection between this matter and Qi Qiqike?"
Qiqi Ke is the princess of Wala County, and her identity is destined to be regarded as the first suspect.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I don't think it's the case."
Yuan Bin frowned and asked: "Could it be that the emperor has discovered a new clue?"
"No clues, just feelings!"
Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and then said: "She has a special status. Whenever there is any trouble in Mobei, anyone will immediately suspect her. To say the least, even if she does nothing, she is still a key target of prevention.
, how could you do something blatantly under my nose?"
After hearing this, Yuan Bin nodded and said: "That's the truth. She must be very clear that her every move is under the surveillance of the court. If this matter has nothing to do with her, then the most likely thing is the Tatar tribe!
"
Looking at the entire desert, the only ones who have the courage to make trouble and take action are Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, who has fled far north.
Over the years, Tuotuo Buhua disappeared, as if he had disappeared from this world.
If it weren't for the war between the Beishan Guards and the Yaksha Kingdom, we still wouldn't have discovered it yet... Wait!
An idea flashed through Zhu Qizhen's mind. Beishanwei discovered traces of the Tatar tribe. Could it be a conspiracy?
"Map!"
Yuan Bin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and took out a map.
On the map, many places are circled with red cinnabar pen, especially in the desert, which is densely covered with circles. The most eye-catching one is Golmut.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "It's not this, I want to exile the ghost country's picture!"
Yuan Bin hurriedly rummaged around again, and after a long time, he took out a picture marked with the Liugui Kingdom.
However, the terrain outline on this map was very blurry. Zhu Qizhen could see at a glance that the information marked in some places was wrong.
Based on his memory, he searched north along the Kamchatka Peninsula, drew a circle around the Yasha Kingdom, and murmured: "It's really weird!"
Yuan Bin asked: "What does the emperor mean by weird?"
Zhu Qizhen frowned, stared at the map for a long time, and then said: "The fighting power of the Beishan Guards is enough to sweep everything in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Why would Tuo Tuo Bu Hua incite the Yaksha Kingdom to go south to invade?"
Yuan Bin thought for a while and said: "It seems that Tuotuo Buhua believed that Beishanwei's landing on the island had already posed a threat, so he thought of attacking first."
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "It is better to strike first than to touch a stone with an egg. To incite the barbarian tribes of Yaksha Kingdom to attack the Beishan Guards, knowing that they will definitely lose, what is the meaning of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua doing this?"
"Your Majesty, I guess... could it be that there is a conflict between the Yasha Kingdom and the Tatar tribe, and Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's move is to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If the two are hostile, then why would the Tatar Prime Minister Zuo be mixed up with the troops of the Yaksha Kingdom, and why would the Yaksha Kingdom listen to his orders?"
Yuan Bin suddenly fell into deep thought, yes, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is not a fool, why would he waste the strength of the Yasha Kingdom in vain?
Nowadays, the Tatar tribe is in the bitter cold land of the far north. The number of people they can recruit is very limited. They have finally managed to pull the Yasha Kingdom into water. They should be building up strength together and plotting big things. Why should they die?
Things are getting weirder and weirder, and it's probably hard to find the answer just by imagining it.
At present, the only way to force Hardanbaatar to tell the truth is to capture him in Zhao Prison and give him a full experience.
However, if you do this, you will alarm Tuo Tuo Bu Hua. This grandson runs like a mad dog and can't catch him on horseback. If he doesn't take advantage of his plan and fish him out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to show up again in the future.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Zhu Qizhen sighed and said: "I don't have any good ideas. Just keep watching. If you have any clues, let me know as soon as possible."
"yes!"
After leaving the Beizhen Prefecture, Zhu Qizhen looked around and asked, "Huai'en, is there anything interesting in the capital recently?"
"ah……"
Wynn looked a little embarrassed and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the palace?"
"Not urgent!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I'm feeling depressed, so take me to a lively place to relax."
Wynn was very confused and thought to himself, I don't go out of the palace very often. How can I know any lively places?
"Forget it, you don't know. Just walk around!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and walked towards the street.
Huaien hurried to follow, feeling very uneasy. The emperor left the palace without any guards accompanying him. What should he do if something happened?
"Your Majesty, why don't I inform Commander Yuan and send some secret sentries..."
"No need!"
Zhu Qizhen had already come to the street and said without looking back: "The world is bright and clear at the feet of the Emperor. What is there to worry about?"
Wynn's forehead is covered with sweat. Although he is in charge of Dongchang, he doesn't know martial arts. If something happens, he still doesn't know who is protecting whom...
Fortunately, the public security is much better now, and the emperor decided to leave the palace temporarily, so nothing will happen.
Oh, I hope so!
Looking east and west of Zhu Qi Town, the capital is now quite prosperous. There are various shops and stalls on the streets, which are full of dazzling arrays, quite like the style of the prosperous times.
"Wynn!"
"The slave is here!"
Wynn hurriedly took a few steps to follow.
"Do you know any famous painters?"
"Painter?"
Wynn didn't know what to say, his eyes were very confused.
"Yes, painter!"
Zhu Qizhen said while wandering around: "Have you ever heard of the Qingming Festival Along the River?"
"Your Majesty, you are joking. This picture is stored in the palace. I saw it with my own eyes when I was counting the collection."
Wynn didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about the painter, and then about the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". He was only worried that he had not done a good job, so he was careful when speaking.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Why are you so restrained?"
"This... slave girl is scared..."
