Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 383
When they heard the sound of "beating hard", apart from Tang Ping, who was in pain and fainted, everyone from the steward to the five men raised their heads in astonishment and stared at Tongzhi Gao who was sitting behind the table.

There are rules for everything in the Yamen, with the word "ruthless", the yamen servants holding the board naturally know how to do it, they push the person to the ground in a hurry, take off their pants, and beat him hard with the board go down.

The second steward started crying and howling in pain at the first blow, and the other five just gritted their teeth and endured it a few times, but this board is formidable, and they all yelled out.

Thirty boards have been played, and he is already speechless. At this time, it will be much more convenient to try the case again. The suffering master Wan Manjiang led people to come, Gao Tong knew what to ask, and the next one would answer.

To be clear, the case is not complicated, it is nothing more than the fact that the second steward, Qiu Jincai, flattered a few dignitaries in Uncle Yongsheng's house for their ability, and sent a lucrative foreigner out.

The branch of Yongsheng Warehouse in Tianjin Wei is a first-class job. Qiu Jincai got this position. Tang Ping was his cousin. When he was in Shanxi, Tang Ping sneaked into the rich people's house anonymously, and then Qiu Jincai went to pursue and blackmail him. Blackmailed many people and got a lot of money.

In Shanxi Province, Yongsheng Boyu Yuangang was born as a veteran general in the border town of Datong, and he is also an in-law of the current royal family, so no one can afford to offend him.

These actions of Qiu Jincai are just for money, and have nothing to do with human life. The government often takes sides and ignores the sufferer at all. Besides, with the status of Yongshengbo's family, apart from being the pro-vassal king and the general soldier of Datong, who else would dare to confront him? What are they doing.

Sent to Tianjin Wei to manage the store, Tang Ping had to come to make a stand, but all businesses in Yongsheng warehouse were running normally, and he didn't need to intervene.

When people have nothing to do, they have more thoughts. I saw the shops beside the Haihe River, the canal outside the city. That's a lot of money.

The shop in a good location has already been owned by others, and it is impossible to transfer it. Tang Ping thought about the methods used in Shanxi before. Big businessmen and famous people are not easy to offend. I don’t know what will be involved in the trouble. Background, if you want to find it, you must look for the common people who have no power, no backing, and no fame. These are the most fat sheep.

Wanjia Warehouse became the best choice. Tang Ping was originally sent by the mansion, and he behaved with a little arrogance. The people in Yongsheng Warehouse didn't like him very much. Naturally, no one told him anything about taboos. .

When Naqiu Jincai came to Tianjin Wei, his eyes were dazzled for the first two days. He didn't expect that the Haihe River would be so prosperous. His cousin said that everything was done, so he simply went to the door in a big way and blackmailed him first. Money, and then get the storefront down, and when the time comes, the family will do business to make their own wealth.

How could the old man in Yongsheng Warehouse be close to someone who came to pick peaches like this, and Qiu Jincai was very arrogant, thinking that in a small place like Tianjinwei, anyone would bow their heads when they reported their master's name.

All the questions are clear, if it is really investigated according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Jincai and Tang Ping are after all an attempt, and there is no loss of money from Wan Manjiang.

Wang Tong couldn't afford to offend him, but it was no joke for Gao Tongzhi to offend Yong Shengbo. Since he said the case was judged impartially, Wang Tong was a reasonable person. Ping's expulsion from Tianjin Wei can be regarded as an explanation to both parties.

Qiu Jincai was beaten so badly by the board in the yamen that he dared not say anything in court, he gritted his teeth and pleaded guilty, and sent someone to Yongsheng Warehouse to hire someone to bail him out.

He thought clearly, he gave in here first, and after returning to the warehouse, he found a relationship to suppress him, and then troubled that lawless Qianhu.

Although he was called the second steward, Qiu Jincai was sent to the Yongsheng Warehouse in Tianjin Wei to be the shopkeeper, and this tone was really hard to swallow.

*************
"Big shopkeeper, you can't offend anyone, why are you touching that Wang Tong!!"

This Qiu Jincai's buttocks and thighs were covered in blood, and he screamed in pain after a little bit of medicine, and two sad-faced shopkeepers sat beside him, complaining loudly.

"He's just a thousand-family man, so I can't afford to offend him. I want to write to my aunt and grandma to complain. We Yongsheng uncle's family has been so humiliated. It's nothing to lose my face, but our family's face What to do! You can bear it, but we can't."

The two shopkeepers looked at each other, and one of them sighed and said:
"I said shopkeeper, you just came to Tianjin Wei and didn't understand the rules. Our Yongsheng warehouse is great because of uncle? Why don't you want to do business with Jinhe and Tonghai? Then Wang Tong bombarded Jinhe store with cannons Yes, what are we?"

"We are the ones who beat the uncle's family bravely, counting our uncle..."

"Boss shopkeeper, do you know who is behind Wang Tong? Behind him is the emperor, and he is the number one favorite of the emperor!"

Being tormented by Qiu Jincai really couldn't stand it, a more aggressive shopkeeper couldn't help but said, after saying this, Qiu Jincai almost jumped out of bed, and the room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Qiu Jincai said in a low voice:
"... That kid Tang Ping is doing things outside without telling me, and the business he has created is unsustainable. The official ordered us to pay 500 taels, and I will pay 1000 taels..."

*************
When it was getting dark, people from Yongsheng Warehouse brought Qiu Jincai over to make amends, a gift of almost 400 taels of silver, but they couldn't even enter the door.

The guards just coldly conveyed Wang Tong's words, "Do business honestly, I will protect you, otherwise, no one in the world can protect you", and sent them away.

Everyone who came back from the mansion laughed when they heard what happened today, as it was a joke, and after dinner, the house was lit up, and the business was not over yet.

As usual, Wang Tong exercised his body with a stone lock and stone pole in the yard, and practiced swords and guns with General Tan before entering the house.

Cai Nan and Yang Sichen waited early in the study, and the files and documents they brought from various places during the day had to be verified and approved at night.

"Report to my lord, Commander Ma has already taken Chi Hei and the others to buy horses."

Wang Tong took the towel handed over by Zhang Shiqiang, wiped off his sweat and nodded to show that he knew, but Yang Sichen hesitated when he picked up the pen, and said:
"Master, what happened on the street today has to be reported to the capital. This is just a trivial matter..."

"Write it clearly. There is nothing big or small. There is nothing to hide from the emperor. If Uncle Yong Sheng mentions this matter first, it will not look good on our side!"

Wang Tong replied with a smile, but after sitting down, he opened his mouth and said:
"Remember to ask Tang Shan to come over tomorrow, and go to the boss's side with me. We need to discuss the defense of the Haihe River together."

*************
On the second day, Wang Tong led his trusted generals, Tang Shan, and Pan Ming, and selected a few reliable boatmen from the south, and came to Yu Dayou's side together.

After discussing behind closed doors, after discussing in the morning, they pulled everyone in a carriage and walked along the Haihe River and the seaside, stopping and pointing from time to time, and others looked puzzled, not knowing what they were doing.

On the first day of May, the soldiers and horses belonging to Jin Yiwei who had been stationed scatteredly in the training camp, in the city and by the Hai River began to move to the Hai River, and the area of ​​the training camp was handed over to the incense believers to live in.

There are only two battalions of troops stationed in the city, and the rest of the troops are all stationed next to the shop by the Haihe River. Supplies and everything are convenient, and ships can be transported nearby.

In the center of the emerging business district by the Hai River, there was originally a specially planned square where everyone used to hang out, and some small vendors set up stalls there. On the first day of May, craftsmen and builders gathered here At the same place, another cart brought bricks, stones and wood.

A lot of spectators gathered around, peeping and eavesdropping, saying that a watchtower is going to be built here, and everyone wondered what the watchtower was doing in the center of the town, and judging from the materials, the watchtower was estimated to be very tall.

On the second day of May, those who set up shop by the Haihe River, as well as the boat owners moored here, received a post signed by Jin Yiwei Qianhu Wang Tong, inviting them to a banquet at the Xingcai Inn.

It is a rare honor to invite Master Wang, and no one dares not to go. After going to the Xingcai Inn, everyone was a little puzzled when they came back.

All the shops have been ordered, saying that in this area from now on, whenever the sound of the copper whistle sounds, no matter what the family members are doing, they must close their doors and close their doors. No matter what happens, you can't go out unless the suona sounds.

If the violators will be fined heavily, the merchants will be surprised, thinking that this will not delay everyone's normal business?However, some merchants and boatmen from the south didn’t think so. They probably guessed what it meant, and those who were quick to show off explained: This is a way to prevent Japanese pirates at the seaside. Mr. Wang can be considered for everyone's consideration. In Zhejiang and Fujian, this kind of defense needs to be donated and collected.

Everyone thought about it a lot. After all, it was related to their own money and goods. These years have been peaceful, but everyone has heard about the ferocity of Japanese pirates. It is better to be prepared.

And starting in May, after the time of Hai at night, there are still pairs of soldiers patrolling the streets, and during the day, soldiers wearing brocade and guard robes patrol the streets in pairs.

Watchtowers are built up day by day, and the armed soldiers on the street are seen every day. Everyone feels uncomfortable at first, but the sense of security in their hearts has increased a lot, and those petty thieves, cheaters and beggars have disappeared without a trace , everyone gradually got used to it.

In May, water transport and sea transport are getting busier...
