Chapter 572 Major Events (two chapters in one)(1/2)

The news that Mr. Wu Er knew was passed on to him by his little brothers in the capital. As Lu Jinxing said, there was a lack of official certification.

Even so, Mr. Wu said what he knew, and Chai Yan was still in a cold sweat.

In fact, just a while ago, two major events happened.

The first thing is that Fusheng finally sent the news back.

His letter was brought back by a Tartar merchant.

According to the corresponding regulations, the Tatars could come to the Great Wei for business. After entering the country, they had to report uniformly, and could only trade in designated mortise and yards, and pay high taxes.

Even so, Tats merchants will enter the country every day. The merchants of Tats want to exchange their specialties for the silk, ceramics and various medicinal materials of the Han people. Whether in Thart or Anxia, ​​close to Thart, they are all hard currency with prices and markets. Even if they pay heavy taxes, they can still make a fortune.

A Tatla merchant who often travels between the two countries said fluently in Chinese when reporting to a small flag in charge of the matter: "I want to meet your highest commander Wei Mingzheng."

The little flag was stunned and said angrily: "Can you see General Wei just want to see him?"

He hasn't seen it several times.

The merchant of Tatla said in a deep voice: "You can't afford to delay this."

Xiaoqi frowned: "If you have something to do, you can tell me, and I will find a way to tell General Wei."

The merchant of Tatap closed his lips and just stared at the small flag, not opening his mouth, but not leaving.

The reporting office is set up in a simple shed. In order to prevent any fine work from getting in, every Tatla merchant who came to report must search his body, make sure that he did not carry weapons, and he had to go in one by one, so that the people in front could come out and the people in the back could go in.

The Thart merchant had been delaying for a while inside. The little flag felt that this man was here to make trouble. He ordered the soldiers to drag the man away, but the man's feet seemed to have roots and he refused to leave no matter what.

"If you don't let me General Wei, you will regret it, you will definitely regret it!" The merchant gritted his teeth.

The little flag had a sudden striking heart for no reason, and called a close friend to whisper a few words. The close friend ran out and came back for a moment, saying, "Person General Zou asked to bring this person over."

Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and the confidant took the businessman to meet Deputy General Zou. The same scene happened again in front of Deputy General Zou. Deputy General Zou had no choice but to send someone to send a letter to Wei Mingzheng, who was twenty miles away.

In the middle of the night, Wei Mingzheng appeared in front of the businessman and said in a deep voice: "I am Wei Mingzheng, what's wrong with you?"

"I know Fusheng." The merchant said five words.

Wei Mingzheng nodded, before Fusheng went to Tartar, he met him.

He knew that Fusheng went to Thart with Feiyuwei, but he did not know the purpose of Fusheng going to Thart. The order he received was to ensure that Fusheng and his party successfully entered Thartt.

"He asked you to come?" Wei Mingzheng looked up and down at the businessman.

There are dozens of tribes of all sizes in Tartar, and the appearance characteristics of the Tatha people are different, and they can be roughly divided into four types.

The most representative Tatha people are the three major tribes called descendants of the condors. These three tribes have one common ancestor, the Great Khan, known as the grassland eagle. The current royal family is the descendant of the grassland eagle.

These three tribes, even by more than a dozen small tribes that depend on them, both men and women, have flat faces and small eyes.

It's strange that as the three major tribes, as the leader of the grassland, have married dozens of princesses and noble daughters from other countries over the past few hundred years. However, for some reason, the children born to these alien women occasionally inherited the appearance of their mothers, but only one generation, and the next generation will turn back to the face of their ancestors.

However, the three major tribes and other tribes other than the dozen affiliated small tribes have their own characteristics.

Several tribes close to Anxia have a very similar appearance to those of Anxia people, with fair skin, high nose, brown eyes, and tall figure.

The tribes next to the desert have dark skin and thick joints, while the Tatha people near the border of the Great Wei are not significantly different from the Han people. If they change into Han costumes, it is difficult to distinguish whether they are Tatha people or Han people.

Most of the detailed spies in Tartar came from these tribes because they looked too much like Han people, which made it easier to hide their identities.

Wei Mingzheng has been stationed in the border for many years and is very familiar with these situations.

The Tartar merchant in front of him had a face that looked like a Han people.

Wei Mingzheng could tell from the face of this man that he was from which tribes he was born.

This person's facial features were upright. If he hadn't been running around all year round, his skin was thick and dark, and his beard would have been a bit pretty.

However, the Tatha people did not have the habit of raising beards. Their beards depended on their preferences. Most Tatha people did not like very dense and long beards. Wei Mingzheng had met countless Tharits, but those with big beards could count them with one hand.

The merchant let Wei Mingzheng look at him. Seeing that Wei Mingzheng had finally seen enough, he slowly said: "The fourth prince has placed Amule and the concubine under house arrest."

Wei Mingzheng was stunned and instantly realized the seriousness of this sentence.

Amul, Amul Khan! King of Tartar!

"When did this happen, why didn't I receive the news?" Wei Mingzheng also did a detailed work in Tarta, but he didn't hear any news.

Wei Mingzheng's eyes at the businessman became sharper, and he wished he could dig a hole in this person's face.

The merchant said, "Two months ago, I took the goods to Rongkaku tribe. On the way, I met a horse thief, snatched my goods and killed my slaves. I fell seriously ill and used up all the last little money hidden in my boots. A young man named Jeddah saved me. He gave me money so that I could return to my hometown. Later, I went to the place where I met Jeddah and looked for him, but there was no trace of him.

Not long ago, when I went to Dadu, I met Jeddah in the inn. I wanted to return the money I had borrowed to him, but he didn't accept it. When he asked me to come to Dawei, I would come to see General Wei for him and tell you this sentence."

Wei Mingzheng stared at the merchant's eyes and asked, "Why would he believe you?"

Wei Mingzheng knew who Jeddah was, Jeddah was Fusheng’s pseudonym!

The businessman closed his eyes, and his voice became a little sad: "Because my son is with him."

Wei Mingzheng understood that the little villain Fusheng threatened his son and forced the businessman to submit.

The merchants of the Tatla had to spend a lot of money to apply for a customs certificate before they could trade in the market. Since King Fu started his army, the customs certificates have become more stringent. In the past six months, there were only three customs certificates approved by Wei Mingzheng.

The merchants of Tatla can only trade in designated Countries, and without Notice, they cannot enter the Countries. Since they cannot enter the Countries, they cannot wander outside, so they are either forced to be deported or they will be treated as a meticulous act and imprisoned.

When the Tats merchants with relevant certificates enter the country again, they bring the pass certificate to report at the designated place. After reporting, they can enter the Detective Market for transactions. When leaving the Detective Market, they can pay the corresponding taxes and leave the country.

Before coming here, Wei Mingzheng already knew the name of the merchant, and the name on the pass was Galu.

The businessman named Galu in front of him looked sad.

"How will I believe you?" Wei Mingzheng looked stern.

Galu smiled sadly and took out a small bag of oil paper from his leather robe. He carefully unfolded the oil paper, and there were three pieces of peanut candy inside.

"This is what he gave me, this is something that only Han people have."

Maybe it was because I had been holding it in my arms for a long time, and the peanut candy had begun to melt and was sticky on the oil paper.

Wei Mingzheng's heart was aroused. Fusheng has loved to eat snacks since he was a child. This time he went to Tartar, he brought a lot of snacks. For this reason, Wei Mingzheng also made fun of him, saying that he was all about to marry a wife, and he was like a child, and he kept talking nonsense.

"What else do you know except the words he asked you to tell me?" Wei Mingzheng asked in a deep voice.

Garu shook his head: "I only know that this news has not been revealed, and the Tarthians don't know it."

Wei Mingzheng believed what Galu said. If the news spread, his spies would definitely send back the information.

The King of Tartar was under house arrest and his life and death were uncertain. This is enough news that shocked the Tartar government and the opposition.

"Well, come and take him to rest. Without my orders, he cannot leave the barracks."

After taking Galu away, Wei Mingzheng thought about it, and he wrote a secret letter, which was rushed to the capital for 800 miles.

After the letter was sent away, Wei Mingzheng purged his army and prepared to go to war.

From the border to the capital, it took two or three thousand miles to speed up, eight hundred miles, and four days to walk!

On the fourth day, Qi Wei came out of the Imperial Study room and did not return to the Five Army Governor's Mansion, but went directly to the Duke's Mansion.

Wei Mingzheng wrote in detail about the process of Galu meeting Fusheng in his secret letter. There was also a map drawn by a spy in the letter. The inn where Gada was when he met Fusheng for the second time was not far from the palace.

The Tarzhs were painted by the cats and tigers. Although they learned from the Han people to build a palace, there was no imperial city. When Chai Yan came back, he said that there was a market near the palace. Therefore, it was normal for the merchant named Galu to live in an inn near the palace.

Qi Wei knew Fusheng so well that he began to suspect that Fusheng had sneaked into the palace of the Tatar.

This can explain why Fusheng knew the news that the Tatha people still didn't know.

So what about the Feiyugu who followed Fusheng to Tarta?

When he was in the palace just now, Han Feng was also there. He did not receive any news from Feiyuwei. Since these people entered the Tartar, there has been no news.

Qi Wei sat in the carriage and looked out through the car window to the street outside. He remembered that Chai Yan once said that Chu Huai knew a lot about the capital. Chai Yan suspected that there were detailed works sent by Chu Huai in the capital.

Feiyuwei did not take it lightly. Over the past year, he has successively caught many people who were suspected of being meticulous, but there was no definite evidence. Some of them confessed under torture. However, after careful investigation, the things he confessed were not in line with, and he was talking nonsense.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped. After asking, I realized that the road ahead was blocked. The carriages of two families collided. Neither of the princes of the two families were willing to give in. From pushing and shoving to fighting later, they really started fighting.

Qi Wei shook his head, "Okay, the censors have the materials again. Tomorrow's morning court must be very lively."

Seeing that it was still early, Qi Fu said, "Change and go to Bailu Mountain."

After the summer vacation, Xiaoman had already started school. I comforted me to Bailu Mountain, of course I picked up my son from school.

I guess he came back with Xiaoman and the two families should have broken up.

When I arrived at the entrance of the academy, it happened to be over school. Xiaoman was talking to a scholar who was two years taller than him.

Da Zhuang had sharp eyes and saw the carriage from the Duke's Mansion from a distance. He reminded Xiaoman, and Xiaoman said goodbye to the scholar, carrying his schoolbag, and trotted over.

Qi Wei felt that the scholar looked familiar. He had seen it in the academy but could not call it, so he asked, "Who was that just now?"

"That's Brother Zhong Kefeng and Zhong. He is from Pingcheng. Our branch is the one I bought his shop." Xiaoman explained.

Qi Wei remembered that this was the son-in-law of the Tong Magistrate of Pingcheng.

"He is going back to Pingcheng to participate in the rural examination, have you not set off yet?" Qi said with condolences.

The provincial examination was held in August, but because this was the first provincial examination after the emperor ascended the throne, in the past few years, many scholars were wandering away. In order to select more talents and allow those scholars who were wandering away to participate in the imperial examination, various prefectures and counties should provide convenience for candidates who returned to their hometowns, such as free accommodation and free food and drink, which took time. Therefore, the emperor decided to postpone the provincial examination in August to September.

Xiaoman smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhong is about to leave in the past two days. He is here to ask me if I need to take care of him. By the way, Senior Brother Zhong is going to stay in Pingcheng for more days this time, and he is going to get married."

Qi Wei nodded, asked about some things in the academy, and the carriage drove towards the Duke's Mansion.
