So, Gao Shixin is still aiming at the Shanxi merchants at the moment. But the so-called national hero, Gao Shixin will one day unravel the true face of that guy.

Intelligence officer Wu Zhongming walked into Gao Shixin's room and reported to him the location of the eight Shanxi merchants' businessmen and warehouses in Zhangjiakou. These had long been investigated secretly by him.

Gao Shixin planned to visit the warehouses at night tonight. After it got dark, he changed into a night outfit and secretly climbed out of the inn window. With his parkour skills, he climbed up the roof silently. He ran over the roof, jumped onto the roof of another building, and then jumped down silently.

The first one to visit was naturally the business name of Fan Yongdou, the leader of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants of the Qing Dynasty.

The door of the business was closed, and the lights were on in the room of the accountant in the inner room, and there were caravan guards inside. However, all this was not difficult for Gao Shixin. At the third update, the lights of the accountant's room went out. Gao Shixin climbed over the wall, entered the yard, and went outside the house where the accountant lived, and blew the fragrance in.

Then he gently pried open the door, entered the door, inserted the door bolt, searched in the accountant's room, and soon found the account book and the order for goods to enter and exit. After finding the account book and the order for goods to enter and exit, Gao Shixin used the system to give him super memory, remembered all of these in his mind, then returned the account book and the order for goods to be original, then left the room, inserted it through the crack of the door with an embroidered spring knife, and tied the door bolt.

Gao Shixin quietly walked back to the inn, wrote down the account book and the order that he had written in his mind, and wrote it on paper, and then left the inn to visit Fan Yongdou's Dashengkui Storehouse at night.

The warehouse gate was closed and there were people watching outside. This was not difficult for Gao Shixin. He lifted a few tiles from the roof and entered the warehouse. He sneaked into the warehouse. Gao Shixin counted all the goods in the warehouse and remembered them all. However, what disappointed him was that the goods in the warehouse were not only grain, salt, cotton, tea, silk, spices, and iron pots, there were no contraband such as weapons and gunpowder. According to the numbers on the entry and exit notice, these goods were legally delivered to Chahar, Tumot and other departments.

Zhangjiakou was originally a tea-horse market opened to the Mongolians by the imperial court. Tea-horse market, as the name suggests, exchanges tea for horses. In fact, it was not only tea, grain, cotton, salt, silk, spices and kitchenware that were imported into Mongolia were all legally traded goods.

Since the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty banned trade with the Later Jin Dynasty, or trade with the Mongolian traitor Korqin and other tribes. For other Mongolians, the tea and horse market has always been open. The Mongolians traded cattle, sheep, horses, and fur to exchange for the food, salt, cloth, tea, kitchen utensils and other daily necessities they needed. The Mongolian princes and nobles also needed to buy luxury goods such as silk, spices, etc. Anyway, those Mongolian princes and nobles did not lack gold and silver.

Gao Shixin found no handle at Dashengkui's business and warehouse. He visited Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu and others' business and warehouses overnight, but no evidence was found.

There are also four companies, including Liang Jialan, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa. However, the scale of these four companies is far inferior to Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku. Gao Shixin had no time to visit them one by one, so he had to give up.

After dawn, Gao Shixin compared the account book he wrote down and the incoming and delivery slips. After careful comparison, he spent a whole morning without finding any flaws.

"So cunning! I've left myself clean!" Gao Shixin, who had found nothing, cursed.

It was really depressing that these guys knew that they were not clean and had already chased them to their nest, but they had no idea how to start. However, Gao Shixin did not send anyone to let Hong Chengchou go back home. He planned to ask the Jinyiwei to show his waist sign and imperial edict after Hong Chengchou came, thoroughly investigate the warehouses of the eight imperial merchants, dig three feet of the ground, and find evidence.

Gao Shixin, who had not slept for a whole afternoon, slept again after dark, and went alone to explore the business name of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants of the Qing Dynasty, but after visiting for one night, he still found nothing.

"There must be a secret room! Their account books are definitely Yin-Yang account books. Where are the contraband hidden in the goods they are sent?" Gao Shi silently murmured in his confidence. The channels for Shanxi merchants to obtain grain were also transported from Huguang, the production area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. The grain was transported from Huguang to Liaodong. The shortcut was of course to take Tianjin and Shanhaiguan. Generally speaking, they would not go far and deliberately detour Shanxi, Datong, and then go out of the customs and go to the Mongolian grassland. This would not only take a detour, but also be robbed by Lin Danhan on the grassland.

Two days later, Hong Chengchou is about to arrive in Zhangjiakou, only ten miles away from Zhangjiakou.

In the basement of Dashengkui Store, the dim lights swayed. Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin and other five people gathered in the basement, surrounding a table.

This basement is the kang in the bedroom of the accountant of Dashengkui Business Office. A moving wooden board is lifted up, and a staircase leads to the ground. On weekdays, this wooden board is covered with bricks, which is a heat-induced flue. Even if someone from the court searches, it is difficult to find this basement.

"Listen to the news from outside, Governor of Xuanda Hong Chengchou is coming to our Zhangjiakou. In addition to his two thousand Fubiao camp, hundreds of eagle claw grandsons are also coming together. I am worried that Hong Chengchou's goal is to come to Zhangjiakou this time!" Fan Yongdou said with his fingers on the table.

The eight royal merchants of the Qing Dynasty were not only profiteers, but also spy agents. In the original time and space, the professional level of these amateur spies was no less than that of the professional spy Jinyiwei. They not only provided military rations and military supplies to Huang Taiji, but also provided Huang Taiji with a large amount of reliable intelligence, which made the Later Jin know the deployment and mobilization of the Ming Dynasty; they were clear about the various changes in the Ming Dynasty.

However, in this time and space, due to the rise of Gao Shixin's Jinyiwei, these blatant unscrupulous merchants in the original time and space have to become cautious. If they are not careful, they will be caught by Jinyiwei.

Wang Dengku said: "We have prepared for a long time. Some contraband items stipulated by the imperial court have been sent out a few days ago. There is no handle in the warehouse that can be caught by the Eagle Claw Sun! Our real account books have been collected into the basement. Even if the Eagle Claw Sun comes, I can't find anything! Please rest assured, the Eagle Claw Sun wants to find our handle, hum! Don't think about it!"

At this moment, someone outside came in panic and reported: "Dear shopkeepers, something big is wrong! Dog official Hong Chengchou brought officers and soldiers and Eagle Claw Sun into the city!"

Fan Yongdou stood up: "We can't all gather here. If the Eagle Claw Sun finds this place, and we are gathered together, we will inevitably be caught by them! Wang Dengku, hurry back to your business and go to deal with the dog official! I will immediately disguise myself from the city and temporarily return to Jiexiu's hometown to hide. You other shopkeepers, hurry up and bring the goods sent to the Mongolians out of seclusion!"

Wang Dengku asked, "Shopkeeper Fan, how can I deal with them? I'm afraid that Gao Shixin's dog is coming too! That puppy is tricky and difficult to deal with."

"You can only stay!" Fan Yongdou said, "Shopkeeper Wang, you think of a way to deal with him. There is another thing. Four Beile said his own detailed work. The Mingdog court Eagle Claw Sun is equipped with a new type of firearm, which is extremely sharp. The Eagle Claw Sun who came to Datong this time must have this kind of firearm. You must investigate this matter clearly! It is best to get such a firearm!"

"This is a embarrassment for me. But since it was Si Beile's explanation, I must do it when I wait for my servants. But now Xiong Manzi is in Liaodong, Si Beile and the others are not having a good life." Wang Dengku said in a difficult face.
