Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 465
"Old Ge, there are several kinds of so-called dead men. Those raised by the noble family in the capital were nothing more than killing people in the past. When they were caught by the yamen, they gritted their teeth and refused to recruit them. After a day's delay, the master's family would naturally send someone to kill them or catch them. It promises the safety and wealth of a family for half a lifetime."

Zhang Juzheng's study in Fuchu, chief assistant of the cabinet, was screened away from both sides, only Zhang Juzheng and Jin Yiwei commander Liu Shouyou were there, but Liu Shouyou stood aside and talked freely.

"Although Wang Tong is only from a thousand households, he has the title of a barracks officer in the forbidden army. He has hundreds of armored guards around him. They are all warriors of tigers and wolves. Those who can kill people in front of these people and kill themselves by chewing their tongues afterwards, can do this. They have to be in the army. Only those who have survived in the middle and have seen the battlefield can do it, and ordinary characters can't be manipulated at all."

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Liu Shouyou, and asked in a deep voice:

"Who in the capital can have this..."

Asked here, Liu Shouyou hesitated, and said:
"The subordinates dare not speak nonsense, there are a few, but they have nothing to do with Wang Tong, the rest, the subordinates dare not speak."

Saying "I dare not say it" instead of "It's hard to say it", the commander of Jin Yiwei's commander Liu Shouyou is like a family guard in front of Zhang Juzheng, it is really inconvenient to say this.

Zhang Juzheng didn't hide anything, he just looked outside, it was night, it was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything, Zhang Juzheng shook his head, and said calmly:

"Why do those few people do this? It's too late to protect you on weekdays... Shouyou, Jin Yiwei has to investigate this case carefully. If he can use dead soldiers to kill Wang Tong on the street, who will he attack next time? It's all like this Do it, there are no rules and regulations in this world, wouldn't it be chaos."

Liu Shouyou quickly bowed, and before he could say anything, he heard someone outside the window announce:

"Master, Dong Qianhu is asking to see you."

"No, no, You Qi, you're going to send him away. As a military commander, you've been frightened into such a state by the thieves, and you still have the face to come here to beg the old man."

You Qi outside responded and stepped back, Zhang Juzheng shook his head, said with a smile:

"You Jinyiwei have been rich for a long time, I see, it means that Wang Tong still has the ability of a warrior, and the rest are nothing."

Liu Shouyou smiled awkwardly, but didn't dare to answer.

**************
In the guest room in the outer courtyard of the Zhang Mansion, Dong Chuangxi, who was wearing a light blue double-breasted armor, waited restlessly. Seeing You Qi come back, he quickly got up and asked:
"Seventh brother, what did the boss say?"

You Qi shook his head, sighed and said:
"My master still doesn't want to take care of it, Mr. Dong, since my master doesn't want to take care of it, there is really nothing to do about it, or you can look elsewhere. It's getting late, Mr. Dong, let's rest!!"

Hearing this, Dong Chuangxi stood there stunned as if struck by lightning, You Qi sighed and shook his head again, turned around and was about to go out, Dong Chuangxi hesitated, and whispered behind:

"Brother Seven, we spent 5000 taels of silver in order to pay our respects. If something happens, the government will not care about it!"

After saying this, You Qi stopped, turned around with a sneer and said:

"If you didn't take the 5000 taels of silver and your annual contribution, would you have the errand of Shandong Jinyiwei Qianhu? Take it, do you need to take back the contributions of these years?"

After being told by You Qi, Dong Chuangxi's expression changed. Seeing You Qi was about to go out again with his hands behind his back, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried from behind:

"Seventh brother, no, Seventh Master, I was confused by lard, and said the shameless words just now. The Shandong capital department doesn't care about this matter, and the yamen of all departments are also watching my jokes, but if you delay In the future, not only Zhuangzi outside the city, but sooner or later my whole family will have to confess..."

Just now he said that he wanted money, but You Qi was not polite any more, he rolled down his sleeves and said in a cold voice:

"Master Dong is also a thousand households of Jinyiwei, but they are just thieves. How can he be so scared? If it is spread, it will make people laugh. Get up, get up!"

Even though he said so, he didn't help at all, turned around and left. Dong Chuangxi was in a hurry, crawled a few times, grabbed You Qi's skirt, and said:
"Qiye give me a way, Qiye give me a way, first give me 300 taels of gold, and if everything is done, I will make up another 300 taels of gold, please Qiye will definitely help me."

600 taels of gold, almost 6000 taels of silver, You Qi had already stepped over the threshold, but stopped when he heard this, turned around and closed the door again, walked up to Dong Chuangxi, stretched out his hand to help him up , said with a smile:

"You and my own brother, why bother to talk about the birthright? If Mr. Dong hadn't helped search for the few medicines used in the mansion, I really couldn't find someone to trust them to. It's just that my master doesn't care about this matter..."

Dong Chuangxi's face was full of panic, but he couldn't stop saying:
"Ge Boss doesn't care, Ge Boss doesn't care, what should I do?"

You Qi thought about it for a while, then smiled and said:

"It's also useful for you to save face..."

**************
"Master, this is Xiang Fuqing's old master. He was sent from the capital to us to sit here at the beginning of the year. The old man has worked hard here for decades, and the wages he gets in their business are the same as that of the big shopkeeper. .”

Zhang Chunde introduced to Wang Tong at the side that there were several long tables in a large yard, covered with blood-stained cloth, and even a few small satin coats.

Several older people were sitting or standing. Hearing Zhang Chunde's introduction, an old man with white beard and hair stood up on his seat and was about to kneel down to pay respects. Wang Tong quickly stepped forward to support him, and said:
"You don't have to pay homage to the elderly. You have worked hard here these days, and you will definitely be thanked afterwards. It doesn't matter how expensive you are. You have worked hard these few days."

Wang Tong is quite polite to these craftsmen. Xiangfuqing is the leading cloth factory in the capital, and it supplies the palace to the noble families of the capital. Cloth Zhuang has set up a semicolon in Tianjin Wei to receive the goods.

These old masters may have a high status in the store, and everyone respects them, but they are nothing in front of the officials. Seeing Wang Tong's politeness, everyone is very moved.

"Master, this cloth should be homemade cloth spun here in Beizhili. It's very rough, and the cuffs and necklines are all worn out. I guess it was bought by a pawn shop."

The old master said, Wang Tong nodded, this is similar to Jin Yiwei's own judgment, several clothes have different styles, but they were temporarily wiped with soil, so that they can be hidden among the firewood, such clothes are probably bought temporarily from pawnshops Come on, there is no ready-made clothing business at this time. Everyone buys fabrics to make by themselves or hires tailors. If you want to buy ready-made clothes, you can only go to pawnshops to buy old clothes that are pawned.

"Is this the same for several commoner clothes?"

"If you go back to the master, it's all."

Wang Tong nodded, turned to Sun Dahai behind him and said:

"Wait a while with these clothes at the pawn shop in Tianjin Wei, those court officials will definitely recognize them, and ask what happened then."

Sun Dahai nodded in agreement, he specialized in arts, but on the other side was a master of silk and satin business. Seeing that the old master of Xiangfuqing finished speaking, he hesitated, and said:
"My lord, these little silk coats really confuse the villain. Except for women, men don't usually wear silk coats. Is this material?"

The man hesitated, but Wang Tong didn't make a sound, small clothes are underwear, all small clothes made of silk are worn by the female relatives of wealthy families, men generally like to use cloth, but common people rarely know it.

Many of the clothes of the generals on the battlefield and the guards around them are made of silk and satin. The reason is that the cloth is often penetrated by arrows, but the silk lining may not be broken. It will be better when the arrow is drawn out together with the silk. Of course, it will still be pierced in more cases, but it will give you a little more chance. On the battlefield, a little more chance of survival is also good.

However, silk is expensive, not generals and personal guards, ordinary soldiers can't afford it, but this can't explain anything, because many local tyrants also wear it.

"Oh? Did this master see what kind of material it is?"

The master hesitated to speak, Wang Tong asked directly, the master was over 40 years old, when he heard Wang Tong's question, he made a big bow and said:
"The young ones know about the master's affairs. The young ones also know what the master wants to investigate. The matter is too big. The villain dare not talk about it. The villain has just asked the military man to go back to the shop to look for it. It has to be verified after two times. Let the grown-ups decide."

Wang Tong nodded. The silk jacket would definitely not be worn temporarily. Maybe something could be discovered from the origin of the silk.

"If you need help, just tell me, you don't have to worry about anything, I remember your kindness, and someone will protect you from now on!!"

************
The messengers from all walks of life in the capital and Zou Yi’s letter to Wang Tong arrived at Tianjin Wei on about the same day. The messengers all lived in the Sifang Inn, and Sun Dahai and Hang Daqiao were there to receive them. These people also knew Wang Tong What is his identity, he came here to do business because he wanted to make a fortune, but when he came here, he had no choice but to do business well, eat and drink well, and open his eyes in the bustling Tianjin Wei.

"...For spending so much effort to kill me, either you have a big enmity with me, or you have a big profit... It is definitely not the Tartars on the grassland who sent people to assassinate... Shopkeeper Gu, shopkeeper Zhang, go and investigate, our family Has your business overwhelmed others...could it be that Sanshui Wang..."

After receiving the letter, Wang Tong gave an order while pondering, and before he could say a few words, a personal guard came over from outside and said:

"My lord, Luhai Commercial Bank sent a greeting card, saying that their boss, Shen Wang, will come to visit tomorrow."
