"Emperor," Wang An said hurriedly, "The emperor doesn't know that Dongzhu and ginseng are both products from Liaodong. The business name called the Tiger Banner can get these things naturally have to go through Donglu. Ordinary merchants can't buy them even if they have money."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned deeply and looked at Wei Zhongxian with a cold face.

Wei Zhongxian said anxiously: "Emperor, there are more than one shops selling these things in the capital. You cannot identify the business name Tonglu, called Huqi, because of this matter. You cannot prove that the slaves have also had an affair with the Donglu. Please ask the emperor to understand."

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Although he never left the palace, he knew that no matter how fierce the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Donglu was, some specialties from Liaodong would always flow to the capital.

Merchants are seeking profits, and some smuggling merchants do these things specifically to seek personal gain.

However, this does not mean that he will tolerate such a thing happening around him. If the tiger flag is really smuggled with the Donglu, he will never show mercy. Such a businessman will definitely confiscate his family and destroy his clan to serve as a warning to others.

"Don't make a quibble." Wang An pointed at Wei Zhongxian and scolded, "Tiger Flag is a Datong business. It's reasonable to get some fur goods, but Dongzhu is a specialty of Liaodong. How can they get it? It's not Tonglu."

Zhu Youxiao picked up the cover bowl at hand, took a sip of tea, and then asked Wei Zhongxian, "Wei Daban, what Wang Daban said is not unreasonable."

At this time, he was not as angry as when he first heard Wei Zhongxian's master of the enemy, because Wang An's words had many loopholes. After listening carefully, he was not so credible.

If Wei Zhongxian was talking about Tonglu, he didn't believe it. If he wanted to get some benefits, it would be possible. On the contrary, Tonglu, the business name called Tiger Banner, was more credible.

"I am wronged!" Wei Zhongxian cried, "Emperor, I really don't have Tonglu. Even if I buy some fur goods, I can't say that I Tonglu! There are many people buying fur goods in the capital, and even the prince himself buys them."

"Emperor." Wang An bowed to Tianqi and said, "You must not stay such a traitor. You also ask the emperor to punish Wei Zhongxian."

Wei Zhongxian knelt forward and crawled a few steps, lay at Tianqi's feet, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I am wronged."

Zhu Youxiao put down the cup of tea in his hand and said to Wang An: "Dabao, this alone cannot prove that Wei Dabao Tonglu might be just the Tonglu, the business called Tiger Banner. Wei Dabao was really as he said, just went to buy some fur goods."

"Emperor, it is not difficult to know whether Wei Zhongxian has a clan or not. As long as he is handed over to the tutoring department and handed over to Lord Luo for interrogation, I believe the result will be obtained soon." Wang An said.

Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground, was so scared that he shivered.

It doesn't matter whether he has fallen into the hands of the Fufu Department, because the other party will definitely put Tonglu's charge on him. He knows very well that although Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was not a member of the Donglin Party, he has always been in good terms with the Donglin Party.

With the various methods of the sanctuary, he did not think he could withstand the torture inside.

"Leave it to Yougongfu?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and immediately said, "I think it's better to forget it!"

"The Emperor." Wang An said, "It is necessary to guard against the Donggu. Wei Zhongxian is also the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and is often with the Emperor. If he is really a spy of the Donggu, it will definitely be a disaster for me, the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head slightly and smiled, "The big partner is talking seriously."

"I would also like to ask the emperor to hand over Wei Zhongxian to the Pacification Office for interrogation." Wang An knelt on the ground and asked.

Wei Zhongxian had this hatred in his heart, Wang An must have died.

At this time, he knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and said, "Say."

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed to Tianqi before saying, "Emperor, I asked the shopkeeper of the Tiger Banner shop. He said that these Dongzhu and other things were all exchanged from the horse market, and there was a horse market opened by the imperial court in Datong."

The Ma market is still there, but it has only reduced its size. It will take until the Donglu takes over Liaoyang and occupy Liaozhong that the Ming Dynasty completely bans the Ma market. However, that will happen after next year. Now the Ma market in the Xuanfu towns of Datong is still there, and the merchants of the Ming Kingdom can still trade with the Beilu through the Ma market.

"Emperor, Wei Zhongxian's words are not trustworthy." Wang An hurriedly said, "Dongzhu is a specialty of Liaodong, and it is only available on the Donglu. How can it appear in the horse market in Datong and Beilu?"

Zhu Youxiao's face darkened, and his eyes looked at Wei Zhongxian cold.

Although he did not think that Wei Zhongxian was a master of the enemy, it did not mean that Wei Zhongxian could deceive the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian made a statement and said, "I did not believe it at first. Later, I found some merchants from Xuanfu and Datong to ask, and then I found out that there were indeed Dongzhu and ginseng in the horse markets of Daming and Beilu. As for fur, there were more furs, and Beilu produced furs himself."

"Impossible, you are deceiving the king." Wang An pointed at Wei Zhongxian with his finger.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said, "I would like to ask the Emperor to understand the Tiger Banner. The Tiger Banner is located in Datong. The Ma City is located on Datong East Road. As long as the Emperor sends someone to ask the border general who presides over the Ma City, you can know if the servants are lying."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly.

At this time, he had already believed it for seven or eight minutes, because this matter could not be concealed at all, and many people must have known it.

Wang An's heart sank.

The shopkeeper who had not caught the tiger flag in the capital and failed to get Wei Zhongxian's handle. One of his internal supervisors thought of Tonglu's idea to attack Wei Zhongxian. As long as Tianqi was suspicious, no matter whether Wei Zhongxian had Tonglu or not, he would be alienated by Tianqi. In that way, his goal would be achieved.

Now it seems that Tianqi still believes in Wei Zhongxian, and there is no longer the anger he had when he first heard Wei Zhongxian's master.

"Okay, my good friend, this matter ends here. I am tired, you go down!" Zhu You proofreader knelt on the ground and said.

Wang An was unwilling to give up, so he said, "Your Majesty, it's better to hand Wei Zhongxian over to the Pacification Office for interrogation. If he had no Tonglu, I believe Lord Luo would give him justice."

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "I have said that this matter ends here, let's step back!"

An internal prisoner on the side came up and said to Wang An: "Eunuch Wang, the emperor is going to rest, so let's retreat first!"

Wang An opened his mouth and finally had to say, "I will leave."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed and retreated.

As soon as Wang An left, Zhu You proofreaded Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up too!"

"yes."

Wei Zhongxian stood up with his knees and stood respectfully beside Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao picked up the cover bowl and took a sip of tea, and said in a plain tone: "I thought about it. Even a wise and decisive person like Taizu did not make someone to build a four-wheeled cart, which means that there must be something undesirable. Don't mention the matter of the four-wheeled cart in the future."

"Yes, I received the order."
