Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 394 Dong Chuangxi and Shen Wei
After hearing the name, Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and looked left and right with inquiring eyes, everyone had a puzzled look on their faces.

Jinyiwei is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and has branches everywhere. In addition to sensitive places such as Zhili in the north and south, Jinyiwei also has thousands of households stationed in various provinces, and visits between thousands of households are normal.

But Wang Tong was a newcomer in the Jinyiwei system. The few thousand households he knew were nothing more than Zhou Linbing, the supervisor in the capital at the time, and Ge Li, who had formed a relationship in the capital and was cleaned up in Tianjinwei. , other people just don't even know their names, let alone talk about them.

"real or fake?"

Wang Tong thought about it, and asked this sentence. After asking this sentence, a wry smile appeared on Sun Dahai's face, and he answered:
"My lord thinks this way, and my subordinates are also suspicious. I specially checked his badge and reported him. It is indeed a thousand households stationed in Shandong. It is rude to do so. However, Mr. Dong has a good temper and didn't care about his subordinates." .”

Hundreds of households inspected thousands of households' confession papers and doubted the authenticity of the other party's identity. This is indeed an offending matter. Since this is the case, Wang Tong can't say anything. Although he still can't guess the other party's intention, he still said:
"I'm going to change my clothes first, you go and invite people to the living room and serve tea."

Sun Dahai agreed to go out to invite him, while Wang Tong changed into clothes, another 10 taels, and another Jinyiwei Qianhu from Shandong. There are too many things that make people confused and astonished today.

Wang Tong sat quietly in the study for a while, carefully going through the big and small things in his mind, to see what he had missed, or what he hadn't thought of, the 10 taels and the person from Shandong was indeed the first time Appear.

***********
What a handsome man, this is the first thought that came to Wang Tong's mind when he walked into the living room. In the living room, besides Sun Dahai who was accompanying the guests, there was one person sitting and one standing.

The 35-year-old sitting man was wearing a light blue Taoist robe, drinking tea with a smile, and the standing man looked like a servant, standing behind with his head bowed and hands down.

The so-called Taoist robes are not the robes of Taoist priests. This is the most common uniform in the Ming Dynasty. From the emperor to the common people, they are all worn. Small households and small families go out to visit guests during the New Year, and they must wear Taoist robes when they welcome guests at home. , showing dignity and courtesy.

However, Taoist robes such as light blue are worn by rich children. Sitting there, this person has a chic and romantic demeanor. He is slender and has an outstanding appearance. I have seen it in various media in that life. Many celebrities, this person is not inferior at all, even worse.

The ring on his hand, the jade pendant on his waist, and the pendant of the folding fan are all first-class and exquisitely crafted goods. It's no wonder that Sun Dahai is suspicious of such a character.

If this person is said to be a playboy from a certain noble family in the capital, there are still people who believe that he is a Jinyiwei Qianhu who is stationed in Shandong.

Wang Tong is used to looking at a person carefully for the first time, and getting some information from his appearance. Looking at this person up and down, the only flaws that can be called are two, his face is pale, and the eye sockets are a bit dark Well, this kind of behavior is usually caused by excessive drinking and sex, and the whole person looks frivolous.

Seeing Wang Tong striding into the room, Dong Qianhu and the long followers behind him were stunned for a moment. Even though they knew Wang Tong was young, they still felt too young to meet him in person. If Sun Dahai hadn't respectfully saluted Dong Qianhu Don't even dare to confirm.

"This is Mr. Wang. It is really presumptuous for Dong to visit rashly. Please forgive me, Mr. Wang."

Qianhu Dong Chuangxi stood up with a smile and bowed his hands in salute. Wang Tong also returned the gift politely. The two sat down. Before Wang Tong could ask, Dong Chuangxi said first:
"Lord Wang must be puzzled. Although you and I are in the same army, we have never met each other in different places. Why do you suddenly come to ask for an interview? Do you think so?"

This person is very good at talking, so the atmosphere is much more relaxed, Wang Tong couldn't help but nodded with a smile, Dong Chuangxi also said with a smile:

"So that my lord knows that the big boss of Luhai Commercial Bank is the next one."

This statement seemed to answer Wang Tong's doubts just now, but it brought even greater doubts, and he really couldn't understand the other party's intentions.

"My lord, Dong's business is doing business in Shandong and the surrounding provinces. With the help of the officials, the business is doing well, and the business is good. It is in Jining, Linqing, Kaifeng and Tianjin. Last year, my lord was in Shanghai. A shop was built by the river to attract investment. The shopkeeper here, Shen Hong, rented a shop on his own initiative. Originally, Dong wanted to fire him, but he didn't expect that this year's shop in Tianjin would actually earn more than the combined total and Linqing. , that’s why I want to come and have a look.”

There was a smile on Wang Tong's face, but his eyes were narrowed. He still couldn't figure out why the other party was willing to pay such a large amount of money. Dong Chuangxi talked there:

"Dong came to Tianjinwei half a month ago and wanted to rent more shops, but he couldn't find them at all. My brother made a lot of money, so he didn't care about the rent. He paid four times the rent. Still, no one is willing to sublet it. It can be seen how prosperous it is. Brothers probably calculate that the monthly rent income of the shops on the edge of the Haihe River is astonishing, and it’s only been a few months. If you want to come here, there are not enough shops now, if they are built elsewhere, the rent will definitely skyrocket, let alone other income."

Dong Chuangxi's mouth was dry, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it, and said again:
"This insurance company has taken everyone's money, and has the support of Mr. Wang. It has money and strength. If it is going to open up wasteland and build in Tianjin Wei, it's not like a stream of money flowing in, not to mention that the interest on the loan is even more stable. Losing business, if this continues, what will become of it in the future is really amazing."

He concluded by saying:
"If it weren't for the limited cash on hand, I would have to invest more this time!"

The smile on Wang Tong's face had disappeared, and he said calmly:
"The 10 taels will be taken out as soon as you say it. Mr. Dong is really brave. I don't know what business Mr. Dong is doing?"

"Your Excellency Wang is joking. He is in the crude drug business. Seventy percent of the prefectures in the province belong to Dong."

The so-called raw medicine is the unprocessed medicinal herb, which can be taken after being boiled at home. No one wants to get sick, but everyone has to go to the doctor and buy medicine after getting sick. They have to buy it, no matter how much The high price has to be endured in order to save lives, so the profit is extremely high.

Jinyiwei Qianhu, who is stationed in a province, is only a fifth rank, but has the duty to spy on the affairs of officials and people in the whole province, and has great power. Since this Dong Qianhu is said to be a business of several prefectures in the province, it may be a monopoly The business of the six prefectures in Shandong is indeed a profitable business.

In addition, this thousand households said that they have businesses in Shandong, Beizhili and Henan, so they must be extremely rich, but it is still somewhat impossible for such a rich man to spend 10 taels while talking and laughing.

Wang Tong listened quietly to Dong Chuangxi's words, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Master Dong, before the gathering today, Tianjin Wei, even the people in this world don't know what Wang is talking about, and Shen Hong was invited. He probably didn't know. I can make a decision on the amount of 10 taels at home. If Mr. Dong is by his side, Wang has also looked down from a high place. There is no such thing as Mr. Dong beside Shopkeeper Shen. Wang saw it, how could he not remember it?"

At today's gathering, most of the clothes worn by the merchants are more stable in style, and the colors are mainly dark colors. After all, the occasion is formal. If there is Dong Chuangxi's light blue robe and his handsome appearance, it must be very eye-catching among the crowd , not to mention that Wang Tong also specially read it.

After saying this, Dong Chuangxi's face froze for a moment, and the long attendant standing behind him also raised his eyes and looked at Wang Tong. Wang Tong was stunned. I've seen it before, and this person's eyes are so sharp, as if they are real.

Wang Tong smiled, turned sideways and took off the lampshade of the gauze lamp beside him, and said with a smile:

"When Master Dong came in, did he wonder why he lit the lamp before it got dark? In fact, the lamp is not for lighting, but for lighting the fire."

While speaking, Wang Tong took out a short blunderbuss from the hidden compartment beside the chair and put it on the table. The nozzle of the short blunderbuss was blocked by a ball of paper. Staring at the short gun, his face changed a little, Wang Tong said again:
"Did you see the guards outside the door? Even though they were standing far away, they kept looking at this side. It's quite impolite. You can also tell the two of you that if I make a gesture, armored soldiers will rush in immediately, and I will never do anything to others. An opportunity to take advantage of."

Wang Tong seemed to cut the conversation aside, and introduced his own defense, but Dong Chuangxi's master and servant looked a little ugly. Dong Chuangxi squeezed out a smile, and said:
"Master Wang, how did you say this?"

"It's nothing, it's strange that Mr. Dong came here today, but Wang, to be honest, if Mr. Dong doesn't explain why he came, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Shandong!"

It was extremely absurd for one thousand households to say this to another thousand households, but the people who heard it did not dare to think it was a lie. Dong Chuangxi was stunned for a while, and looked back at the person behind him. Wang Tong noticed that the person Nodding slightly, Dong Chuangxi turned around but smiled, and said with a smile:

"Master Wang, the 10 taels is not fake, but this matter was not Dong's idea, but the second owner of Dong's firm."

Having said that, the servant behind him came out, knelt down and said respectfully:
"The villain is in vain, I have seen Lord Qianhu."
