Chapter 658

The city of Tongzhou became much more lively because of Wang Tong's arrival. Tongzhou is within a day's journey from the capital, which is very convenient. Needless to say, there are many people who come to visit on horseback.

The inn where Wang Tong was staying was originally a subsidiary of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, because it was located in the bustling area of ​​Tongzhou, not only did the inn not have to accept the appropriation and subsidies from Tianjin Wei, but the profits were handed over every year.

Since it is his own site, everything is naturally very convenient. Wang Tong took a rest in the private courtyard, and General Tan led the shopkeeper over. The shopkeeper knew that this was his own master, so he kowtowed first when he entered the door, and then he got permission. Standing up and bowing to answer, General Tan spoke first:

"Master, there are no fewer than a hundred spies outside just as far as we can see, all of whom look similar to the three people arrested early this morning, and there are dozens of people who behave suspiciously. They are not small, and there are so many people watching , I am afraid there is something hidden in it that we cannot see."

After Tan finished speaking, he glanced at the shopkeeper next to him, and the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and said:

"Master, I have been in this business for 20 years when I was not in this inn. This season is not the time when there are many guests, but the master came in at noon, and now there are more than a dozen groups of guests. The official dialect with accents everywhere, only saying that I am visiting relatives and friends to do business, but it doesn’t look like it at all.”

The shopkeeper of the inn welcomes and sends them off every day, and he is naturally familiar with judging the identity of the guests by observing their words and expressions. He also has the same meaning as General Tan when he said this. Before Wang Tong could speak, Chen Dahe walked in hurriedly outside, and said angrily:
"My lord, these miscellaneous things outside are really outrageous. Someone came up to our silver car, wanting to see what happened. After being chased away by the soldiers, they came up again. My lord, tell the little ones, come on!" The capital here is no better than ours in Tianjin Wei, but if we don’t teach them a lesson, it’s really annoying!”

Wang Tong patted the table with his hands, thought for a while, and said:
"Send the three people caught in the morning to Zhizhou Yamen, and say that they rammed the car and were arrested because of their wrong intentions. Tell the people below not to do anything, just drive them out."

Hearing this, Chen Dahe was stunned, and couldn't help interjecting:

"My lord, those three people are sent to Zhizhou Yamen. I'm afraid they will be released in the future. If we don't do it, how can those bastards be afraid?"

"Just do it, I will care about it myself!"

Wang Tong's voice became a little harsher, Chen Dahe didn't dare to say any more, he hurriedly withdrew as a military salute at attention, but a smile appeared on Wang Tong's face, and he said:
"General Tan, go and ask Ma Sanbiao to come in, you two don't rest now, go to Beijing as soon as possible, I have a few letters for you to send there!"

***********
Wang Tong's team rested in this inn for a day. They started their journey on the 27th day of the first lunar month. As the day and night passed, there were far fewer people watching the fun. According to reports from the people waiting outside, many people rushed towards the capital yesterday afternoon. Go, it was the same appearance when we set off today. Many people followed the team for a while, and then accelerated their horses and rushed forward.

The environment that made the soldiers a little restless yesterday was cleared up. Ma Sanbiao, who followed to the capital, and General Tan, who was always guarding Wang Tong, had already left yesterday.

Departing early in the morning, there was no delay on the road this time, and nothing new was foreseen, but the fast horses coming from Tianjin Wei on the way caught up with the team.

The man reported in front of Wang Tong's horse, and after reporting a few words, Shi Qi and others who were tied up and thrown on the carriage were untied from the carriage and brought to Wang Tong.

"What are your skills?"

Wang Tong beat the horse and walked slowly, Shi Qi and the others, although their blood was blocked and their muscles and bones were numb, they still followed quickly. Hearing Wang Tong's question, Shi Qi looked back and said:
"To be honest, my lord, those two days when the convoy came here to steal money was the means of the villains, that is, they relied on this to make a living, and the villains were more dexterous and softer than others, and they climbed over the wall and across the courtyard. In and out at night, it is difficult for others to find."

Wang Tong nodded immediately, and asked again:
"Have you ever seen blood? Have you ever killed someone?"

"Although the villains haven't committed a bloody crime, they ran to eat this bowl of rice in the green forest. They had to use swords and guns with others. They also fought a few times. They didn't take advantage of it, but they still ran out!"

The man answered in a very methodical way, and he said everything Wang Tong needed to know. Wang Tong pondered for a while on the horse, and said:
"From now on, you will be a small flag under my command, and your brothers will all be your soldiers. We will make arrangements after arriving in the capital, but we can talk about it first. As long as you are willing to do things and obey orders faithfully, you don't have to worry about being treated badly." .”

Hearing Wang Tong's position, Shi Qi hurriedly knelt down on the side of the road, and the brothers behind him all knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

After they got up, Wang Tong rode to the front. When Wang Tong and Chen Dahe were side by side, Wang Tong ordered in a low voice:
"Arrange someone to keep an eye on them. Although Wu Da has confirmed it, it will take some time to observe before they can be used."

Chen Dahe looked back and quickly agreed.

They stopped halfway, set up iron frames to boil water, and the soldiers ate the dry food they carried with them, and continued on their way. At this time, they could already see the outline of the majestic city of the capital.

Less than an hour away from the city gate, there are more and more people on the official road. Wang Tong also saw that many oncoming people just came to have a look, and then turned back. I came here to see Wang Tong's team.

After walking not far, there was a carriage heading straight ahead. The guards on Wang Tong's side were very vigilant, and someone in front had already greeted him with a spear flattened.

"Xu Guangguo has an urgent matter to see your lord, Xu Guangguo has an urgent matter to see your lord!"

The coachman driving the carriage over there had never seen such a scene before, his face turned pale with fright, and while desperately pulling on the horse's reins, he hissed and shouted.

When the words came, Wang Tong's personal guards rushed up to meet him, lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at him, turned around and waved to indicate that there was no problem, and then let the carriage come over.

When the carriage arrived in front of Wang Tong, Xu Guangguo, who was wearing a Confucian robe, ran out of the carriage in a hurry, and said anxiously:

"My lord, there are many people gathered at the gate of the city, waiting for your lord to look bad when you enter the city, why don't your lord take a break first and think of a way at the capital's side first!"

Wang Tong nodded approvingly at Xu Guangguo, and said with a smile:

"You can run out to report the letter, which means that you are doing well. You have already arrived here. I will not stop here. I am an upright man and an official. What are you afraid of? You can go there later, lest too many people know that you are working under my sect!"

Xu Guangguo wanted to say something more, but seeing Wang Tong's firm and fearless expression, he knew it was difficult to persuade him, but he couldn't help but say:
"My lord, don't be in a hurry at this moment!"

***********
If Xu Guangguo didn't report before he arrived at the city gate, Wang Tong would not use this person again, and after entering Beijing, he would put Xu Guangguo in prison the first thing. Since he came out to report, then everything is easy to talk about.

Tianjin Wei is in the southeast of the capital. From Tianjin Wei, you can enter the city at Chongwenmen in the south, and you can also enter the city at Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen. Wang Tong and the others are on the Dongzhimen side.

There are already houses and courtyards on both sides. Many people are watching Wang Tong's team from the side of the road. There are more than a hundred carts and hundreds of strong followers. They may not have such a style, and then look at the big banner at the top of the head "Jinyiwei Commander Tong Zhi Wang Tong", everyone is amazed, but there is something that should be so. After entering Tianjin Wei, the enthusiasm is still undiminished, and such a favorite minister should have such a style.

Near Dongzhimen, there is an open flat land around the official road, which was forced by the soldiers and horses of the five cities, otherwise the people outside would directly build houses to the base of the city wall.

Wang Tong has walked this road many times in the past. People come and go in the land of the capital, but at this time the sun has been covered by the city, and the light shines from the city gate. At this time, it is less than an hour before the city gate closes. , everyone was in a hurry, returning to the city and leaving the city, but now many people gathered in the open space on both sides of the city gate, which was very different from usual.

Wang Tong had already rode his horse to the front of the team, and he could see people on both sides wearing long gowns and gowns, accompanied by figures like servants, and behind them were chariots, horses and sedan chairs.

Even though Xu Guangguo didn't explain the identities of the people at the city gate, Wang Tong could tell at a glance that they must be wealthy people in the capital with their attire.

Wang Tong looked left and right, and had already walked into the sight of these people. Seeing Wang Tong walking in, and then looking at the mighty convoy behind Wang Tong, the crowd on both sides was commotion. It was a quiet scene Suddenly it became noisy.

The sudden commotion startled Chen Dahe and the others, and they immediately called for their horses to ride forward. More than a dozen guards surrounded Wang Tong, each with their hands on the handle of their sabers, fully alert.

They were so murderous that the people on both sides were not afraid at all, but the noise became louder, and some voices could already be heard clearly:

".domineering!!"

".little man"

"The great harm to the country!!!"

".Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and others."

". You can't indulge this kid!!"

All kinds of derogatory remarks, the atmosphere is getting more and more enthusiastic, but Chen Dahe and other Wang Tong's guards are getting more and more nervous, the knife has already been drawn half of the scabbard, Wang Tong said with a smile in the circle:

"What are you afraid of, let him say, can you say that we are bleeding?"

Coincidentally, as soon as the voice of Wang's call fell, several people in front rushed out from the side and blocked the middle of the road. Wang Tong's gang subconsciously reined in their horses.
