Chapter 488 The Sufferer Comes to Sue Wang Tong

"You're fucking dizzy, come here and scream!"

"Uncle Sun, how many brains dare to say such nonsense? Someone really sued Mr. Wang!"

When Wang Tong heard the report from the servant, he didn't even have time to be dazed, when he heard Sun Dahai growl outside, and the person who came to report him hurriedly explained.

"The sea, let him in!"

Wang Tong raised his voice and used cases to pour dirty water on people. This was a method that Wang Tong could only use when he first came to Tianjin Wei. With his current status and power, it would be suicide to engage in such a small trick.

Hearing the attitude of the reporter outside, he was also very respectful. He obviously came to say hello. While speaking, the door of the house was opened by the guards, and a man in a square hat in soap was standing at the door.

With the status of this kind of guard, Wang Tong couldn't even enter the door. The guard knew it very well, and knelt down respectfully at the door, first kowtowed, and then said politely:

"Master Wang, Mr. Gao accepted a case this morning. Mr. Gao said that he shouldn't have come to disturb the door, but the man beat the drum at the door. There are so many people watching the fun, it would be ugly if he didn't accept it."

The so-called beating the drum to cry for grievances, if the drum is beating at the gate of the yamen, there must be a lot of people watching the excitement. There are too many rich and powerful idlers in Tianjinwei. The officials and servants of the yamen are also afraid of causing any other troubles.

Naturally, Wang Tong understands this truth, but in this place of Tianjinwei, or even Hejian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, whoever dares to sue himself.

He was just about to ask, but he saw the strange expression on the face of the officer kneeling over there. He clearly couldn't help laughing. Wang Tong is not angry now, but curious, and asked:
"Whoever is going to sue me, seeing how you want to laugh so much, let me listen to Lele first."

The guard burst out laughing with a "puchi", and felt that something was wrong when he laughed. He had heard of Wang Tong's prestige, and his face turned pale with fright, and he was about to kowtow. Wang Tong became more and more interested, and said with a smile:

"Don't panic, tell Lele first, I don't blame you!!"

"Master Wang is magnanimous, and the villain said it offended. Someone was beating the drum this morning, and the little one led the person out to have a look, but there was a blue-eyed and high-nosed fan who was beating the drum there. He would speak what we Ming said. But it seems that they came from the south, saying that they have grievances and want to ask our Lord Gao to uphold justice. Mr. Gao was also curious, so he asked in the hall to ask, but he didn't expect that the foreigner said that he wanted to sue Mr. Wang, and he was suing Mr. Wang for robbery. People's wealth."

Hearing this, Wang Tong was also stunned for a while, and then laughed, the guards outside the door, and the guard kneeling at the door were all laughing too.

This laughter is not necessarily for flattery, but this matter is indeed interesting. Although Wang Tong has a reputation of being domineering and domineering in Tianjin Wei, he also has a reputation of being honest and self-disciplined. Mr. Wang is well behaved, never takes bribes, and never takes money from the people by force , The restraint on the infantry below is also extremely strict. The security forces practiced in the field. Once a soldier was thirsty and picked the fruit from the roadside orchard.

There are many such cases, and Wang Tong manages Tianjin Wei so prosperously, the wealth of Jinshan Yinhai, he must also be very rich, so how can he covet the people's wealth? Isn't this a big joke, plus The person who filed the complaint was a fan, which made the matter even more absurd.

It's no wonder that the messenger who reported the letter couldn't help but laugh, not to mention him, even Wang Tong himself couldn't help laughing, it's absurd.

After the laughter stopped, Wang Tong stood up, waved his hands, and said:
"I've been so busy these days, you said that this incident has made me a lot easier. You go back first, and I will go over right away to see who is complaining. Dahai, reward him with five taels of silver!"

The guard came to report the letter today, but it was because his colleagues guessed who would come. He guessed and lost, but he didn't expect to get a lottery, and five taels of silver was considered a small fortune.

Seeing the officer thanking him so much, General Tan beckoned someone to bring Wang Tong a change of clothes, but he was not in a hurry to arrange carriages and horses. He just ordered the guards below to go to the Qing Army Hall to have a look.

"Master, don't blame it. This incident is too unimaginable. It's hard to guarantee that it's not a means to lure people over. It's better to be fully prepared."

Wang Tong nodded. It's never wrong to be careful in troubled times.

It really doesn't take too much time to come and go quickly. Wang Tong changed his clothes and waited for a long time. The guards who went to check had already returned. They entered the door and reported:
"...It is true that some people filed a complaint in the yamen. The subordinates asked the brother on duty outside the Qing Army Hall, and he said that it was indeed the case..."

After getting this news, it is natural that there will be no fakes. Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu has spies at various government offices in Tianjin. It is called "protection", but it is actually surveillance. This is also a legal term. It is so powerful that every yamen can only hold their noses to recognize it.

With the confirmation of these scouts, Wang Tong naturally had no doubts. During this period of time, there were a lot of official and private matters, and there was such an episode, which made people feel a lot more relaxed.

************
Dozens of Wang Tong rode to the yamen of the Qing Army Hall, and saw many people surrounded by the surrounding streets. When he got close, he found that the yamen servants were constantly clearing the place.

However, everyone stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look around. The Qing Military Hall Yamen was the official office that managed Tianjin Wei’s civil affairs. It was originally in the center of the city. Now there are two commercial centers in Tianjin Wei, one by the Haihe River and the other by the canal. On the contrary, there are many government offices in the city, and there are many rich idlers.

The front of the yamen is the easiest place to spread news. There are people beating drums, and a large number of people gather around to watch the excitement. When they find out that it is Mr. Wang Tongwang who is suing, everyone will be even more excited, not to mention that he is a tall nose and deep eyes. people.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, everyone turned around and looked at the ceremonial guard of honor. They all knew that Lord Wang was coming. The idlers gathered around to watch the excitement. In Tianjin Wei, they were going to be arrested for doing idle work, so they immediately dispersed and ran away. A few steps away, seeing that no one was coming to catch them, they turned around and gathered back again. This bustle is really attractive.

Wang Tong came here to relax, and he didn't care about the idlers outside. Surrounded by his own guards, he dismounted in front of the yamen.

Gao Tongzhi of the Qing Army Department in Tianjin should have been waiting in front of the door for a long time. Wang Tong got off his horse, and he came out to greet him. Yes, but now Tianjin Wei is Wang Tong speaking.

Gao Tongzhi also smiled awkwardly, stepped forward and said:

"I didn't expect General Wang to come here in person. The Semu man beat the drums for the neighbors to see. It's hard to justify not accepting this case. I wanted to wait for the people to disperse before driving the Semu man away."

He explained repeatedly here, Wang Tong waved his hand with a smile, and said:
"It's okay, I also want to see what crime I committed, and it's actually a foreigner to sue!"

*************
It would not have been so troublesome to go to the hall to ask questions, but today when Wang Tong came, two groups of yamen servants had to stand up and shouted mighty at the top of their voices.

Wang Tong was wearing a blue and black bijia gown, and he was sitting next to Gao Tongzhi. That man was kneeling in the hall, and he looked like a fat man, chubby. It's quite awkward, it's fresh to everyone's eyes, but Wang Tong feels a little familiar.

When I went to Macau a few years ago, I saw a few people dressed like this in Macau. It is said that they are all local wealthy businessmen with a lot of status. Looking at the jewelry on this fat man in the hall, he is very particular about the clothes he wears all over his body. , not like that kind of poor and down-and-out liar, what does such a person sue himself?Do you still want to extort money?

As soon as Gao Tongzhi sat down, the fat man immediately kowtowed like garlic, crying and saying:

"Master Qingtian, make the decision for the villain. The villain is doing business in Guangdong according to his duty, but he didn't expect that the sky would be a disaster. Someone robbed the villain's boat to go..."

His tone of voice was quite strange, and he was still babbling. The yamen guards standing on both sides couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to make a sound. They covered their mouths and their shoulders trembled. The courtroom was already a little chaotic.

Walking into the courtroom with Wang Tong, the fat man glanced at him but didn't respond, which meant he didn't know Wang Tong at all. Maybe it would just be full of nonsense, but fortunately Wang Tong is in a good mood today, otherwise he would bring himself into trouble for nothing.

Seeing that the guards were not looking good, Gao Tongzhi frowned, picked up the gavel and slapped it on the table, and said in a solemn voice:

"Whoever robbed your boat, you people, do you know the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if you are found to be falsely accused, you will also be sent to prison to be punished, I will ask you again, if you want to answer clearly, who robbed your boat !!?"

"It was Wang Tong of Jinyiwei Qianhu from Tianjin, who robbed the villain's boat."

Those people didn't know each other, but what they said was categorical. Everyone in the courtroom glanced at Wang Tong, Gao Tongzhi shook his head slightly, thinking that this matter was really embarrassing, and seeing the interested expression on Wang Tong's face Gao Tongzhi asked again:
"Extremely absurd, a barbarian from a foreign country actually sued the court's official, you have solid evidence, the official law is like a furnace, don't use your tongue for a while!!"

Those people could understand this idiom. Kneeling in the lobby and kowtowing again, they raised their heads and shouted:

"Why is there no evidence, the villain's boat is parked by the Hai River, the crew and sailors hired by the villain are still on board, and the name on the bow of the boat has not been removed, that is evidence!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Tongzhi hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Tong coughed loudly and stopped coughing. This time, it was Wang Tong who asked:
"What's the name of your boat?"

"Returning to the master, the name of this villain's ship is the Flying Deer."

The courtroom was silent, and everyone was staring at Wang Tong. Wang Tong laughed a few times, turned his head and said to Gao Tongzhi:
"It's really me who robbed his ship..."
