Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 126
"I have already sent my family back to my hometown in Tongzhou. Brother Wang, you and I are walking on the edge of a cliff, so be careful!"

Now that the list has been recorded, Lu Wan bid farewell and left when it was dark, and said this sentence before leaving.

Wang Tong carried the list in his arms and went back with Sun Dahai, thinking about what Lu Wancai said before he left. Now it is considered that the enemy and us are unknown, but necessary precautions should be taken.

Walking to the fork in the road, Wang Tong said to Sun Dahai:
"Dahai, go and call Li Wenyuan and Li Hutou, let them hold weapons, and live with me from now on, Dahai, you and your brothers will also move to the newly bought mansion, if the money is not enough Just talk to me."

"After following the adults, the old and the young in the family wear new clothes, eat white noodles and fish, and there is no shortage of money in their pockets, so I don't need to bother you."

Sun Dahai said something with a smile, and hurriedly ran towards Li Wenyuan's house.

When I got home, I put this cage on the table and covered it with a white cloth. When I opened it, I saw a bowl of steamed meat, some hot noodles, and a small pot of egg soup still emitting heat.

The main room was also cleaned. Wang Tong's own bedroom was locked when no one was around, and there was a secret mark. No one touched it, but the door panel was wiped like a mirror.

The boy lived by himself, no matter what he couldn't tidy up everything, there was always some mess, but today it was tidied up neatly.

Mrs. Ma and those servants are busy at the delicious restaurant every day, and they don't have much time to clean it. Looking at the appearance here, Wang Tong can probably guess that it is the fruit of Zhang Hongying's labor.

After taking a few bites casually, Wang Tong opened the list under the lamp and looked at it. When Jiang Zhonggao mentioned the names, he even reported where he worked. None of the big yamen with real power is on the list, and no one is in the lucrative yamen such as the Shangyi Supervisor, Shangshan Supervisor, and Zhidian Supervisor. There are quite a few people on the list who work in these yamen.

The Jingong Supervisor is in charge of lighting candles and burning incense in exchange for offerings, and everyone knows that the prison is carrying sedan chairs and flags. This clothing bureau is not even in the palace. I really don’t know what is the point of arranging people here.

What caught Wang Tong's eye was the Bingzhaoju, which was the yamen in charge of weapons in the inner court. There were also two yamen, Shangbaojian and Yinshoujian, who were in charge of seals and tiger charms. In a sense, these yamen were also The key point, these eunuchs are here, it is a disaster.

Unlocking the lock of the bedroom, Wang Tong dug out a confession in the mezzanine of the kang cabinet. It was the things Jingjie Husun ​​said about what happened in his casino. Why did the croupiers come and lose money on a regular basis? , Eunuchs and guards came to win money, and there was Sun Laoer's handprint.

Maybe it's not worth anything to take out any one thing, but if you put the two together, if you have a slightly more active mind, you can definitely think of the mystery.

Wang Tong folded the list carefully, stuffed it into the envelope together with Sun Laoer's confession, and put it in the interlayer. It was the gap he dug out on the wooden board with a dagger, and people who didn't know it couldn't find it.

Then he bent down and opened a few bricks on the side, and took out the short-fire gun from the box inside. Gunpowder, lead bullets and various tools were placed in several buckskin bags on the side.

For him, the best way to calm his mind now is to wipe the firecracker, clean it from the inside to the outside, then load the ammunition to simulate firing, then dig out the ammunition and repeat these actions.

Wang Tong thinks about it now, learning to forge iron weapons in a blacksmith shop in Macau is almost the happiest time in his life. At that time, he was studying things with his own mind and his father cared for him. In the vortex, trembling and trembling, without the slightest relaxation.

Practice makes perfect, it almost became instinct, Wang Tong hung the unlit matchstick on the beak clip behind the gun barrel, then tamped the gunpowder with a cleaning rod and put in the lead shot.

When everything was ready, Wang Tong raised the firecracker with one hand and pointed it at the door curtain of the main room. He squinted his eyes and began to aim. He pulled the trigger, and the bird's beak was hung with a matchlock and pressed down. Put your head into the gunpowder, if the matchlock is lit, then the firecracker should be fired.

This short gun is quite heavy, and if you don't have a certain amount of training, you will soon be unable to hold it up with one arm, but Wang Tong has practiced for so long to be able to support it.

While aiming at the curtain in a daze, someone outside raised his voice and reported:
"My lord, Li Wenyuan is here with a tiger head."

Wang Tong shook his head, recovered from his trance, put the firecracker into the bedroom, and then went out to open the courtyard door. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Wenyuan and his son each holding a spear, and Li Wenyuan still had a spear hanging around his waist. a knife.

"Just live in the room opposite me, and stay with Ma Sanbiao at night."

When walking towards the house, Wang Tong made arrangements, but when he said this, his footsteps stopped on the steps. He was so used to it on weekdays that he forgot that Ma Sanbiao didn't come back tonight.

With his proficiency in the land outside the city, it is just a matter of buying a Zhuangzi. Even if he can't buy it, he should find out the market and understand why it has been delayed until now.

"Hutou, go to your grandma Ma and see if your senior brother is back!"

Li Hutou was excited about coming to sleep at Wang Tong's place. Hearing Wang Tong's order, he agreed excitedly and ran over to call for someone. There was a young woman at Mrs. Ma's side. Convenient, a child like Li Hutou has no problem.

Not long after, Li Hutou came back, eating a peach in his hand, and said vaguely:

"Grandma Ma said that he thought Brother Sanbiao was with the adults? Grandma Ma also said that there is nothing to worry about if you don't come back. Brother Sanbiao used to live outside the city often and never came back."

"Go to the side room and get ready. The bedding is in the kang cabinet, take it out and spread it."

Wang Tong patted Li Hutou's forehead with his hand, and when Li Hutou entered the room, Wang Tong said to Li Wenyuan with a serious expression:

"Brother Li, it's not peaceful recently, brother, be more vigilant at night."

Li Wenyuan nodded, stretched out his hand and patted the waist knife on his waist. I am afraid that such a character with a clear mind will understand the truth when he comes to live with a weapon. Wang Tong feels more at ease. Think about Ma Sanbiao , couldn't help but said aloud:
"Right now, I'm already working under my command, and I still do things so freely. When I come back this time, I must let him know the rules."

Li Wenyuan smiled and said:

"San Biao's temperament is jumping, and he hasn't undergone much training. It will be fine in a few days. What short weapons do you have in your hand?"

Li Wenyuan persuaded and asked this question again. Wang Tong patted his right boot, and Li Wenyuan said in a low voice:
"Put one under the pillow, and put another in an easy-to-reach and hidden place in the house. Not everyone can stand up and draw a knife in time."

Wang Tong nodded, maybe he was thinking too much, but the involvement was getting deeper and deeper, and one should always be on guard. If something happened, it would be too late to do anything.

Nothing happened that night, but when he got up in the middle of the night, he could clearly feel that Li Wenyuan was also disturbed, which made Wang Tong's mind more stable.

*****
"These two documents record the names and confessions, and it cannot be said that anything extraordinary has happened based on these two documents alone, but I hope that the fathers-in-law in the palace can think deeply about why someone outside the palace regularly gives The money in the palace, and these people are not in positions of power."

The next day the palace gate of the imperial city opened, Wang Tong was waiting there early, and saw Zou Yi who had left the palace as usual, when only two of them were in the room, Wang Tong clarified his pros and cons.

Zou Yi looked at the list carefully, and was also listening to Wang Tong's words. When Wang Tong finished speaking, he raised his head and said with a wry smile:

"There are not many father-in-laws who can see this. I will go to the palace immediately to see my godfather. I am afraid that even my godfather can't decide this matter. I must let Eunuch Feng see it."

After speaking, he stood up and put away his smile, clasped his fists and said:

"Brother Wang, you have to be careful yourself. If this incident is about to break out, I'm afraid you won't have such a peaceful life."

"If you just hold it down like this, I'm afraid you'll be crushed to pieces in a few days of quiet life, please trouble brother Zou to keep an eye on it!"

Wang Tong also clasped his fists to send each other off. The two were already allies on the side, and they were not so polite. Zou Yi left in a hurry.

Zou Yi left, and Wang Tong stayed in the room for a while before going out. He didn't go today, and the routine of life changed, and he was always a little unaccustomed.

Wang Tong walked around the street, and the people in the neighborhood shops said hello to each other. Wang Tong nodded in response, almost unable to move. Now Wang Tong is the sky on this street, and it is impossible not to serve him well.

Go to the corner of the street, and then turn inward to the side street where Juyifang is located. There is a small case and a recliner at the corner of the street, where a Jinyi guard under Sun Dahai sits. From Juyifang Since it was reopened, no one has dared to make trouble in the gambling house, and there are no unscrupulous people to copy it.

Seeing Wang Tong coming, the Jin Yiwei quickly stood up and said hello. Wang Tong nodded. Even so early, he could still see two or three gamblers walking in. It seemed that the business was indeed good.

Just when he wanted to go to the casino, he heard someone greet him from afar, and when he turned his head, it was Li Gui, the head of Shuntian Mansion's catcher, who came riding over on horseback.

The horse ran very fast, and Li Gui looked a little weird. Wang Tong waved his hand at the Jin Yiwei, and walked to the other side to wait. Li Gui reined in the horse, dismounted and ran over and said:
"Master Wang, today a villager outside the city sent people to the yamen to report the case, saying that he had caught a gangster who had committed crimes in their village, and asked us to send arresters there.

Wang Tong frowned, Li Gui said as expected:

"The gangster's name is Ma Sanbiao..."
