Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 559
Hearing Wang Tong's words, the three of them lifted their gloomy mood and felt much more cheerful, and they all smiled a little more after they sat down.

This is indeed the case, if the truth was not found or not far from the truth, how could it cause so many disputes, and how could it make such efforts.

Only then was he happy, but immediately thought of the current situation, Lu Wancai put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Wang, if it wasn't for the pain, those people wouldn't have reacted so badly, but they finally found the clues, but now they can only stop. I'm afraid that if the delay is too long, the other party will hide in the ground again. gone."

"Thinking about the He Jinyin case back then, Wang Duo from Huang County was arrested. Wang Duo's business was over, and the palace was cleaned up. I thought it was over, but I didn't expect to see the Sanyang Sect again at Tianjin Wei. Only then did we know that the matter was not over, and finally found a flaw in Wumingbai here, this time it is good, we will not let us investigate."

Zou Yi said helplessly beside him, Li Wenyuan hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"That time He Jinyin hid weapons outside the palace. Hundreds of eunuchs in the palace were found to be involved, and a group of them were killed inside and outside. Now this Wumingbai is holding a sharp knife and hiding weapons. In a word, Eunuch Zou is no wonder, this Wumingbai is The origins of many eunuchs in the palace, who knows how many people have entered the palace, the matter is so big, but they are not allowed to investigate..."

At this point, Lu Wancai touched him under the table, and Li Wenyuan saw that Zou Yi's face was not right. After all, he was talking about the eunuch, so he said something offensive, and then stopped talking.

Zou Yi replied "It doesn't matter", he hesitated for a while, and then said:
"Do you guys still remember Jiang Zhonggao? It's the fat man with the appearance and identity of Yushanfangji. He helped us spot a lot of thieves who came and went to and from the gambling houses in the capital."

Everyone nodded, and Zou Yi said again:
"Jiang Zhonggao died of a sudden illness that day. Fearing that there might be an epidemic in the palace, he burned it outside the palace. Jiang Zhonggao ate well in the imperial dining room, raised him strong, and was so energetic. Why did he die of such a sudden illness? Strange, strange..."

Speaking of this, everyone was contemplating, and Wang Tong said calmly:
"When we were here before, some people used gambling houses and brothels to collect money, and then used these places as places to distribute money, and sent people to mix with the officials of the Imperial Army. After leaving Tianjin Wei, on the Tianjin Wei side, the private businessmen on the Haihe side and the Chuantouxiang group connected with several local civil and military officials, and fought with the official again, and in the end they also pulled out what Sanyang teach……"

Having said that, Wang Tong paused, patted the table and said with a smile:
"If you count the big and small incidents encountered by Tianjin Wei, the constant criticism of the official in the capital, and the first encounter with the large group of tartars on the grassland, hehe, if you count it, I don't know how many things are related. "

Speaking of this, everyone was terrified and moved. Several people looked back here, and the things in front and behind sprang up, only to find that it was so big. There are people who can intervene everywhere, what exactly is this person going to do, and how terrifying is it.

"No, I need to investigate, even if I was reprimanded by the palace, and even convicted and sent to prison, I still have to investigate!"

At this time Li Wenyuan was not as calm as before, he immediately stood up and spoke in a rough voice, but Zou Yi and Lu Wancai were silent there.

But Wang Tong didn't speak, just turned to pour the wine with the wine jug, Li Wenyuan was stunned, and had no choice but to raise his glass to take it, Wang Tong asked with a smile:

"In the current situation, you need to investigate. What are the consequences?"

"...It is said that the Empress Dowager Cisheng has already spoken. All the yamen in the palace are watching closely, and they are afraid that their own family will not be safe. If they investigate again, I am afraid it is not the crime of fines. Find other crimes, exile to the border areas, or even There is a possibility of going to jail.”

It was Lu Wancai who said this, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:

"You have been charged with crimes. Without you, the Department of Public Security is in a mess. At that time, you still can't investigate. What should you do if something happens?"

After asking Li Wenyuan a few words, Wang Tong sat down and said solemnly:

"The higher-ups ordered the Department of Public Security to restrain yourself, so you should restrain yourself. It is enough to do the errands you should do properly. Use the people from Shuntian Mansion and Jinyiwei to keep a close eye on all parts of the capital, and Eunuch Zou will monitor all the rumors and movements in the palace. Keep an eye on it, if there is something abnormal, you can react as quickly as possible, that's enough."

"Could it be, why don't you check it out? I'm afraid if you don't check it this time, the other party will hide again and can't find any traces."

"Of course we need to investigate, but you don't need to investigate, someone will do it!"

Hearing what Wang Tong said, and thinking about the people he saw outside the door, no one spoke. Seeing the dull atmosphere in the room, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Although we made a general analysis just now, judging from the appearance of everyone, it seems that we are a little bit intimidated by ourselves. Don't worry so much. It's hard to say whether the other party is a group or a few groups, whether they are targeting us or just happened to happen. , don’t feel how scary they are, even if they are powerful, a group was killed in the He Jinyin case, a group was killed in Huang County Wang Duo, a group was killed in Tianjin Wei, and a group died on the grassland, so It must have caused them to lose their vitality if they did it piecemeal, if they did not lose their vitality, the world would probably belong to them, so why hide and procrastinate like this."

What Wang Tong said was true, and everyone felt a little relieved. After drinking a few cups, Wang Tong said jokingly:

"Some of you said it, some didn't. Do you think it's too ostentatious for me to bring so many guards, and it's useless to be crowded in one place?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Tong raised this topic by himself, and didn't know how to answer it. Wang Tong put down his wine glass and said:
"These people are not my guards, but they are brought to protect you."

The three were taken aback, and Wang Tong continued:
"I don't know who it is over there, but judging from everything in the past, the other party's methods are ruthless. At this point, it is inevitable that they will try to show up and do something like jumping over the wall. The people outside are all Tianjin Wei local soldiers Brother Hu, come to the battlefield with me. I have killed pirates and Tartars, and I was trained by several members of the Tan family. Outside the palace, let them follow you when you come out on errands!"

Although he said something reassuring just now, who doesn't understand that the situation is a little tense now, and when they heard Wang Tong's arrangement, several people stood up to express their thanks.

Outside the cabinet, there are two eunuchs on duty at the door. If anyone wants to go in and rest, they will block them back, but inside are Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Feng Bao, the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony. The two top figures of the group were discussing and talking there.

"My lord Zhang, the matter of Li Wenquan, the prince of the Marquis of Wuqing, who asked for an official is already a bit evil, Queen Mother Li, why bother, the deputy generals of the three battalions are not important positions, they are nothing more than veterans in charge of operations, and we should look for opportunities to find them." For this reason, let the empress dowager get rid of this knot!"

Feng Bao said softly, Zhang Juzheng was sitting there, but when he heard this, he shook his head slowly and said:
"Zhang Mou has no shame in his heart for Daming and the country. Why should he care about these small ways?"

Feng Bao sighed, shook his head and said:
"For the sake of the country, for the country, isn't the empress dowager the country? If you and I can have today, if there is no empress dowager behind us, how can we be so smooth? Don't talk about any great principles..."

"Elder-in-law, do you know who has been hindered by a whip around the capital?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't answer Feng Bao's question directly, but asked this instead. Feng Bao was taken aback, Zhang Juzheng asked and answered by himself:

"The high-ranking officials of the various yamen in the inner court and the decent families in the capital probably have their own Zhuangzi fields outside the city, and they also protect a large number of private households in their hands. They check the land and do not know how many gossips are going on outside the city. , even snatching food from them, everyone hates Zhang to the bone, and the three major battalions are mostly led by relatives and nobles, if there is no Xia Yuancheng to guard there, how can I rest assured!?"

Feng Bao shook his head slowly after hearing this, sighed but stopped talking, Zhang Juzheng said again:
"Li Wenquan's succession to the title is a certainty, so why go to the capital to do this empty paper, tomorrow Zhang will go to play the emperor, and confer Li Wenquan the earl, that's it, the empress dowager is holy, I don't think she will care about this matter."

"That's the only way to go. Let's go and say a few words."

Feng Bao said with a wry smile.

*************
At the beginning of July in the ninth year of Wanli, several servants in the Qin Pavilion suddenly resigned from their jobs. These servants were all familiar with the job, and the sudden resignation surprised everyone in the Qin Pavilion. But was scolded by Song Chanchan, saying that the raised white-eyed wolf should let them go.

There are also three shops in the capital where the staff resigned suddenly. Most of them resigned from work around the first month of the twelfth lunar month.

Some people also wondered whether these sudden resignations were poached by other businesses, but they checked a few suspicious shops and found no sign of them.

After a while, someone saw them outside the city and didn't know what they were doing, so everyone was confused and didn't bother to pay attention.

At the same time, some men with a Shanxi accent lived in several inconspicuous houses inside and outside the capital.

************
The summer in the capital seems to be very unsettled, with the appearance of great turmoil, but in July, it suddenly calms down, and the world is peaceful.
