Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 5
But Wang Tong recognized this person, the entourage who followed his father to Macau that day was just the lowest school lieutenant named Zhang Shiqiang.

Zhang Shiqiang's family was originally a wealthy family in Tongzhou, and he was asked to make up Jinyiwei with money. He thought that Zhang Shiqiang could help and protect the family, but he didn't expect to make it up. The Zhang family was attacked by thieves. The thief rushed in in the middle of the night and killed the whole family. All of a sudden, he was defeated.

With no money or power, Zhang Shiqiang could only make a living in Jinyiwei. He was always cautious and dared not offend anyone. He was even nicknamed "Miangua".

Zhang Shiqiang is actually very tall and big, but his back is a bit rickety in his early thirties, which is because he is usually more humble, which leads to this.

Seeing Wang Tong coming, Zhang Shiqiang obviously hesitated, stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"Brother Wang, Master Tian has assigned you a job this morning, and assigned you to Master Liu..."

"Master Liu, could it be Liu Xinyong, the general banner!?"

There were only the two of them outside the house, upon hearing this, Wang Tong was immediately a little anxious, the general banner Liu Xinyong failed in his attempt to seize his own property, so there must be resentment, one can imagine the future with such a boss.

Hearing Wang Tong call his name in a bad tone, Zhang Shiqiang waved his hands in fright, dragged Wang Tong to the side of the road, and complained:
"Brother Wang, how can Master Liu's name be called so directly? Besides, according to the rules, sons and nephews fill in the vacancies of their parents. Back then, Master Wang was also under Master Liu, so it should be..."

Seeing Zhang Shiqiang worried to the extreme, Wang Tong was also discouraged. He still remembered that when he went to Macau, he still called him "Uncle". Now this person calls him brother. If he is so careful, there is no use in complaining.

In official business, personal relationships cannot be brought in. Wang Tong, who is proficient in the workplace, naturally understands. He took a few deep breaths, clasped his fists and said to Zhang Shiqiang:

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your reminder. I don't know where I'm going to be on duty, brother?"

When Wang Tong asked the question, Zhang Shiqiang rubbed his hands together, mumbling for a long time before saying intermittently:
"Master Liu said, Brother Wang, you stay with me and are at your disposal at any time, you don't need to be on duty."

After saying this, Wang Tong's face was immediately indifferent, but his heart was furious. This Liu Xinyong had no grudges against him, and what he did was too extreme.

Staying behind on duty may sound like idle work, but in fact it is a source of wealth. Wang Tong also has a family background and modern experience, so he naturally understands the routine.

Jinyiwei's salary is the same as other guards, but the payment of food and salary is also the same standard, that is, nine to ten months of salary can be paid a year, and it will be deducted from top to bottom. The money and food in hand are not enough for living people.However, Jin Yiwei has all kinds of vital powers. He can arrest people, convict them and send them to prison without going through the government offices at all levels. Both the officials and the people are afraid of them.

Since the reign of Jingtai, the Jingshi Guards of the capital began to send small flags, captains, and powerful men to the streets of the capital to take turns in the streets.

In fact, they go to shops, street vendors, and various industries to collect regular money, which is the so-called protection fee in later generations. This routine is quite rich, and this is the most basic source of income for Jinyiwei.

As for the overseas assignments, as well as the hundreds and thousands of households of the general banner and above, there will naturally be someone who will take the initiative to pay tribute, or give them dry shares, and naturally there is no need to show their faces.

Zhang Shiqiang is more than twice as old as this Wang Tong, and he has never had any dealings before. He always thought that Wang Tong was just a child, but today he found out that this is not the case.

Behavior and speech are completely adult. When the two parties communicate, they always feel oppressed.

He didn't know what to do, Wang Tong clenched and loosened his fists, but there was already a smile on his face, it was true that Baihu Tian Ronghao took his money, but he also made up for him in Jinyiwei, and arranged Zhang Shiqiang to wait outside If you say that, instead of your own servants, it means that the two sides have settled.

It is also a rule that the son and nephew fill in the vacancy of the father's generation. The chief banner Liu Xinyong doesn't say anything in his heart, but he can't find fault in what he does.

Now that you have entered this system, you should stay there and wait for the opportunity.

Those who have been mixed up in the workplace naturally know this truth well.Wang Tong has calmed down now, at least on the surface. He clasped his fists and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhang, my younger brother is new to Jinyiwei, so I don't know what the regulations are for staying behind, can you tell me?"

"What else can I have a charter for? It's nothing more than coming here every day to order a job, do what I have to do, and go back when I have nothing to do."

Wang Tong felt powerless for a while, didn't he just hang up the person, but his expression didn't change much, he nodded with a smile.

The courtyard of Jinyiwei's hundreds of households is very deserted here, people from all over the Jinyiwei are out on errands, ordinary people would rather take a long detour than approach this place.

Tian Baihu's private house could not be entered, so the two of them stayed outside in the yard until it was getting dark, and when they went to work, no one came back at night, until Zhang Shiqiang asked him to go back together.

When he first joined the job, the supervisor who didn't like him didn't arrange specific matters for him, so he just took this notebook and sat in the corner for a day. It's really similar now and then, Wang Tong thought with a wry smile.

Although I was cold in Jinyiwei, I went out early the next day to sign up for Dianmao. Walking on the road, I could feel the difference from the past.

He was wearing a brocade sweater with an embroidered spring knife on his waist. His attire was unremarkable and not gorgeous, but every early-rising pedestrian he met was full of awe and subconsciously avoided it.

This is the majesty of Jin Yiwei. Since the Hongwu period, the majesty accumulated among all the civil and military officials and the people of the world, even people dare not look directly at it.

Whether in modern times or at this time, Wang Tong has never personally enjoyed such treatment. He unconsciously raised his chest and raised his head while walking on the road, and his whole body felt much lighter.

This time he still went early, there was no one in front of Tian Baihu's house, he stood there for a while, and then walked out the servant from yesterday.

Even though he had seen it, the servant didn't say hello, he took out tools, brought out a bucket of water, and cleaned in front of the door.

Wearing a green dress and a small cap, he looked like a servant, with white beard and white hair and a stooped back. He was quite old, with a tool in one hand and water in the other, and he walked tremblingly.

Wang Tong hesitated there for a while, then stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Old man, let me help you!"

The old servant turned his head and gave Wang Tong a disdainful look. After seeing the childish look on Wang Tong's face, he said coldly:
"But if you want the little old man to say something to Master Baihu, then don't expect it, what kind of person is Master Baihu, how can the little old man speak?"
