Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 463 Who Did It

The street was in such a mess, just now the pushcart was thrown out with all his strength, he got up and ran away, but he couldn't keep up with his strength, Wang Tong caught up with him within a few steps, and chopped him down with a single knife.

The knife Wang Tong used had a thick back and a narrow front, made of high-quality steel, and it was exceptionally sharp. With one slash, one of the shoulders of the person was directly removed, and the arm kept the body balanced. How could the assassin stand still.

He screamed loudly and couldn't run a few steps, and fell directly to the ground, with blood spurting from his shoulder, Wang Tong spit on the ground, and said angrily:

"It's such a hot day, grandpa, why do I wear a robe over my gown? It's just to guard against you bastards."

Up to this moment, the guards followed, got off their horses and surrounded Wang Tong with shields, someone stepped forward to stop the assassin's bleeding, Wang Tong's clothes between his chest and abdomen were already in tatters.

Wang Tong felt that the long gown was in the way, so he tore it to pieces, exposing the chain mail inside. The armor made of copper wire and iron rings weighed almost a few catties, and it was very heavy to wear.

This is also the reason why he fell off his horse and got up so slowly. Wang Tong knew that he had violated the taboos of many people with his actions in Tianjin Wei. A little bit of slack will indeed be of great use today.

"Master, the arrow on the shoulder?"

"Nothing, it's stuck in the armor, just pull it out!!"

Assassination in the street, for such a big matter, everyone knows that the most important thing right now is to keep alive. When everyone is there to stop the bleeding, the assassin spit out a mouthful of blood.

General Tan was helping Wang Tong pull out the arrow, but when he heard a commotion ahead, a guard turned around and shouted in fear:

"My lord, this assassin committed suicide by chewing his tongue."

Chewing his tongue was painful, he didn't expect this assassin to be so ruthless, Wang Tong's face was gloomy, he turned his head and walked towards the cross street, there was an overturned carriage over there, he didn't know if the driver was dead or alive.

Although he was calm on the surface, Wang Tong was covered in cold sweat. The crossbow arrow shot from behind just now, and was stabbed by the assassin with a dagger. At that moment, he almost forgot that he was wearing armor. I died of illness in my thirties. In this life, Wang Tong wanted to live a long and prosperous life, but he didn't expect that today would be so dangerous. He must find out who it is!
Wang Tong felt ruthless, but he couldn't think of who it was, but he couldn't figure out who he was. In the capital, in Tianjin Wei, and even outside the Great Wall, he had made many deep enemies, and there were too many people who wanted to kill him.

"...We brothers have been watching...but you are too guarded...I went out of the city with you today...I see that you are walking back to the market...everyone..."

Pressed against his chest by the shaft, the coachman kept foaming from his mouth, his eyes were slack, and he muttered there, obviously he was not alive soon, and at the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually stopped.

Tan Gong stretched out his hand to sniff, shook his head regretfully and said:
"My lord, brother, the coachman is out of breath."

The faces of the few people who came over were full of disappointment, and there was no one alive, which meant that the assassination had become a headless case again. Wang Tong stared at the corpse in front of him, and General Tan sighed beside him and said:
"Master, let's go back to the mansion first, it's chaotic here, I don't know what will go wrong!"

"My lord can be here, my lord can be here!!"

When I was talking here, I heard someone shouting anxiously, but when I turned my head, it was Ma Sanbiao who led the people to arrive first. Wang Tong raised his head and shouted:
"I'm fine. You have to block off the four nearby streets. All residents must stay at home. All passers-by must be on the street. Everyone must be questioned and investigated. Do you understand!!"

Hearing Wang Tongzhong's angry answer, Ma Sanbiao was finally relieved, and immediately replied loudly:

"The subordinates know!!"

After finishing speaking, he reined in his horse and turned around, and went to make arrangements. Not long after, the three infantry battalions also rushed here, and Zhang Shiqiang, who was collecting taxes by the canal, also led his people.

Seeing that Wang Tong was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Tong had been standing in front of the coachman's body. General Tan thought Wang Tong was in a daze. He was about to persuade him when he heard Wang Tong say:
"The heads of these assassins were cut off, and after they were tanned, they were sent to all the accommodation and money-making places inside and outside the city. Ask them who has seen these people recently, listen to what they said, and see what they did. If you know everything, you have to say it, if you don’t say it, you will be treated as a criminal, and if you say it, you will be rewarded!"

General Tan agreed, and just as he was about to turn around, Wang Tong continued:
"Everyone stripped off the clothes they were wearing, and looked for the cloth and silk shops in Tianjin Weizhong, the expert tailors, and the weavers, and asked them to check where the clothes were made. Their carts, wheelbarrows, For the weapons used, you have to ask how they were obtained, where they were made, and how these people are doing today, and you have to ask them from where they came from. If you ask this way, there will always be passers-by who see..."

Listening to what Wang Tong said was complicated, but when the guards around thought about it carefully, the assassins were all dead, and only by relying on these methods could they find out the clues.

After Wang Tong gave the order, he turned around and pulled a horse, and got on the horse. Tan Jiang and others followed suit, and hurriedly rode to follow.

On June [-]th, the people and merchants who thought they had seen the efficiency of Tianjin Jinyiwei realized that what they saw was not efficient. The news of Wang Tong’s assassination in the street had not yet spread. The traps had already been placed on the board, and the soldiers began to question the people who entered and exited.

**************
Wangtong's mansion by the Haihe River was busy all the time, and there were quite a few people who looked like family servants poking their heads at the door.

They were all sent by officials and wealthy businessmen inside and outside the city to inquire about the news. As the head of Tianjin Wei, if something happened to Wang Tong, the prosperous situation of Tianjin Wei would be greatly affected. For almost two years, everyone has been here Settle down and start investing large sums of money in people. If there is a mistake, you will lose big.

So everyone sent their cronies here, wanting to know the news as soon as possible. He transferred it at a high price, and as soon as the news came, the rent for the transfer of the store dropped by [-]%.

The people outside looked around, but they could only see people of various colors coming in and out of Wang Tong's mansion. From time to time, there were fast horses heading everywhere. When the sun went down, the gate of Wang Tong's mansion was open, and the soldiers inside were holding knives. Dun walked out, which startled the people outside, thinking that the Wang family was going to clear the place.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tong strode out, stood on the steps, looked around loudly, and shouted loudly:
"Look carefully, Wang Tong is still here, not a single hair is hurt, let's go away!!"

Many of the people who were sent had seen Wang Tong. When they saw Wang Tong appearing, they took a closer look and found that nothing happened.

There are also many stories on this day. For example, someone rented the store with great difficulty, and when he heard about Wang Tong's accident, he was willing to sublet it to lose money in a hurry. In the end, someone rented it cheaply, and the price rose again the next day, which was like heaven. The money fell into his hands.

After Wang Tong closed the door and entered the yard, the soldiers returned to their posts. There was a sound of horseshoes outside, but it was Cai Nan who arrived. He came to greet him as soon as he entered the door. After saying a few words, he looked at both sides and said in a low voice:

"My lord, today this assassin dared to chew his tongue and kill himself, and dared to take such risks in front of guards. He is an elite dead man, someone who can support such a dead man."

"A person who can support such a dead man must be a man of great wealth and wealth. I have thought about it too, but those big brothers in the capital who have feuded with each other can't do this to me. If they want to do something, it won't be today."

Before Cai Nan could finish speaking, Wang Tong had already continued. Cai Nan also shook his head and remained silent, with a worried expression on his face. At this time, someone outside preached loudly:
"Master, the armor is here from the workshop!"

Cai Nan was a little confused, Wang Tong shook his head and laughed at himself:

"Go to the workshop during the day to see the fancy armor they make. I don't want to dress up all day, so I don't care so much now."

While talking, a few soldiers outside carefully moved the set of plate armor in. Wang Tong and Cai Nan also walked into the house. The backbone of Wang Tong's subordinates all came. When they saw Wang Tong enter the house, everyone stood up. stand up.

Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"Just now I went out to show the safety to the outsiders, maybe I want to show you the safety, don't worry, talk about business, talk about business!!"

Everyone looked at each other, they were quite helpless, thinking how could Master Wang be so calm when he was suddenly assassinated today in his teens, saying he was safe, but if he wasn't wearing chain mail, he might just be a corpse up.

"My lord, investigations have begun on those streets, but according to the results of the questioning, the assassins may have rushed there once on a whim."

Ma Sanbiao got up and said, Tan Jiang sighed beside him, and said with self-blame:
"Today, I have to take on a big responsibility. I should defend the surroundings. It is really careless to patronize the master and look around. Let the other party take advantage of the loophole..."

"It's none of your business, I think they're preventing me from looking around... Sanbiao, take your mother back tonight, it's not good for the old man to be frightened."

Wang Tong briefly said a few words to Ma Sanbiao, then sat on the seat and said to Yang Sichen:

"Don't hide anything in the memorial, just say what happens, we will set off tonight, and go to the capital as soon as possible to let His Majesty and the others know the news."

Yang Sichen agreed, and then said in a deep voice:

"My lord, should I wait until something is found out before submitting the report?"

"No, the bigger the better, it's best for the capital to send someone down to investigate. Since there are no survivors, what can we find out with the strength of our family, the best for the capital to help."

Zhang Shiqiang, who was sitting on the side, hesitated a few times, then got up and said:
"My lord, this matter shouldn't be reported at this time, but I'm waiting for your decision...
