Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 698

In this era of polygamy, when a man has reached a certain status, it is common to have three wives and four concubines. Those like Wang Tong who are single-minded on errands, and those like Qi Jiguang who fear guilt are rare.

But listening to what Zou Yi said, that's what Qi Jiguang is afraid of, he can still raise two concubines outside, but Zou Yi is not a person who talks about such obscenities in private houses, but he doesn't know why he brought it up. Wang Tong just followed his words and said:
"Hearing what Brother Zou said, is there anyone else outside?"

"Ji Town is an important place. There are many people sent by the palace. In addition, the distance is short, and many anecdotes of Ji Town can be heard in the palace. The captives fought twice, and the generals were killed and injured. One of the generals died in battle outside. There was a woman left at home. Both his parents died. Did he have any children? It was this widow who lived alone. A year after that Qian Zong died in battle, the widow became pregnant."

Conceived in October, what to say after one year, Wang Tong understood that a man is the head of the family, and a lonely woman can't ask too much, Zou Yi said leisurely:

"Then Mr. Qian still had a few acquainted brothers, who naturally refused to follow him and wanted to investigate, but they were quickly sent to various places and were not allowed to return. This kind of thing is not a big deal in Ji Town, but it is also a big deal. The turmoil, but it was quiet quickly, and was suppressed immediately. The life of the widow is getting better and better. The family has built several houses and has maids to serve them, and has become a big family in Ji Town. People, when the child is born, it will be Qi Wu."

Wang Tong glanced back, he understood what he should have understood when he said this, once he said that, Qi Wu's appearance was really somewhat similar to Qi Jiguang's.

"When Qi Wu was six years old, all the guards around Qi Jiguang came to teach martial arts. They only said that it was for the face of Mr. Qian. Qi Jiguang was exactly the same when he was a child, brother Wang, do you think about this name again?"

"Qi, if Qi hadn't just seen his confession, I really thought his surname was Qi."

It is not uncommon for the personal guard to follow the general's surname, and it is even considered an honor to change the surname. Zou Yi said with a smile:

"That Mr. Qian's surname is Gong. This Qi Wu joined Qi Jiguang's personal guard and changed his surname to Qi. However, when Qi Jiguang's regular wife saw it, although he didn't know the reason, he felt very uncomfortable. He insisted on letting him change his surname, but he didn't." Changed back to the original Gong surname, but changed to Qi."

Wang Tong just shook his head on the horse, and said with emotion with a smile:
"After this set is completed, it can be used as a commentary in the capital's teahouse. Why, everyone in the world knows, but Madam Qi doesn't know?"

"No one in Ji Town dares to talk about the private affairs of the chief soldier of Ji Town, that is, people in the palace are watching a lot of things, so I know more details. But, Qi Jiguang is still afraid of his wife after all, his two concubines It is said that the family has been in trouble for a few months, and Qi Wu's mother died early, so there is no need to tell Madam Qi."

The people in the palace are watching many things. To put it more clearly, the eunuchs and eunuchs sent to border towns and the eunuchs around them monitor Ji town. The private matters of the general are naturally under their attention. Inside.But there is no need to talk about such things, Wang Tong pondered for a while, and said again:

"Qi Wu is Qi Jiguang's illegitimate son. I'm afraid everyone inside and outside the palace knows about it. If he follows his brother, will he cause any trouble?"

Zou Yi smiled indifferently, and said:
"Others are at Brother Wang's age, and they do things recklessly. Brother Wang is good. He is not at this age. If Qi Jiguang stays in Jizhen's position, he will naturally be in trouble. Now that he has passed his temper, what is this? Even if everyone knew about it, they would only praise Brother Wang for his righteousness and generosity!!"

Wang Tong nodded with a smile and stopped talking. As for the matter of the national war that Qi Jiguang said, the two sides kept silent. This matter is too involved, and everything is left to Emperor Wanli to decide.

On the way, they cooked some hot soup in a shop by the side of the road, and everyone took dry food to deal with it. It was considered lunch. When the sun was just westward, they had already arrived at Chongwenmen.

But by coincidence, when I got there, I saw a group of soldiers dressed in Jinyi guards escorting a dozen dejected people into the city. Wang Tong had a good memory, but he saw how many of the dozen dejected people were going into the city. I saw it in the morning, turned around and gave some instructions, and an attendant rode over to inquire.

In the past, after revealing his identity, the Jin Yiwei over there answered [-], and then left. It turned out that the spies from the Patrol Department followed out of the city during the day, and some went to other counties, but some people directly hid in Zhuangzi outside the capital. In the process, I checked around, but found that the Tibetan Zhuangzi often went in and out of cattle and horses.

This Zhuangzi is a farm. He usually goes in and out of cattle and horses to do things. When he had doubts, he immediately dispatched people to rush in and arrested all the people. When he asked, it was Zhuangzi from a certain Lang in the Six Departments. The gangsters in the city colluded to steal cattle and horses in the city, and then sent them outside the city to sell the stolen goods.

Stealing cattle and horses is a felony, but catching such a criminal is a great feat, and there will be rewards, and this team is all elated.

Wang Tong said with a smile to Zou Yi beside him:
"There's a joke in Tianjin Wei, it's said that a handful of sand was thrown out in the capital, ten of them were hit, nine of them were officials, and one of them was famous, and catching thieves can also be linked to the officials in the ministry. Relationships are really interesting."

The soldiers guarding the city gate knew that Zou Yi and Wang Tong were noble people, so they didn't dare to stop them, they just bowed and smiled to give way, Zou Yi ignored him, just smiled and replied to Wang Tong's words:

"When a doctor pulls out such dirty things, he just thinks about how to get rid of the relationship, so he dares to have other thoughts, but there are quite a few people like this inside and outside the city, and the people below are doing anything wrong. I know, when something happens, the master's family can't get rid of the responsibility, and it will be unlucky."

The two exchanged a few words, but they went directly to South Street and found a table on the first floor of Zhenxing Building. Zou Yi handed the booklet to Wang Tong, and said:
"Master Wang looks right, please sign your name, and our family will present it to the Lord Long Live."

The entourage followed into the house, and the two sides were of course business-like, and their names changed. Wang Tong took the booklet, read it carefully from beginning to end, and then picked up a pen to sign his name.

"Our family will return to the palace right now, Mr. Wang, this errand is not over yet, Lord Long Live may have to ask a question or two, Mr. Wang, please make preparations."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zou, for reminding me."

Wang Tong smiled and got up to see him off, but his mind was not on the inside of the palace, but on what Qi Jiguang said, whether it was the memory of that life or the understanding of this life, the Tartars on the grassland were always a great harm to Daming , Qi Jiguang's analysis is very reasonable. Compared with the current situation, it is extremely beneficial to Daming. If the few big tribes on the grassland can be solved once and for all, it will really benefit the country and the people, and it will be a great achievement for generations to come.

After completing this errand, Wang Tong once went to the duty room of the Commander Si Yamen. Ever since the palace issued an order and Wang Tong was dismissed, Wang Tong's position in the Jinyiwei has been unshakable. The Jinyiwei Commander Luo Sigong is a For decoration, Wang Tong is the one who has the power and focuses on practical affairs.

It turned out that Wang Tong's housekeeping was relatively remote and the place was small. Naturally, it was a small move by Ren Datong and the others intentionally or unintentionally. But when the situation became clear, Luo Sigong was unequivocal about such an official matter.

In the yamen, except for the Commander of Jinyiwei, who has a single courtyard, the other two Tongzhi and Qianshi are divided into four rooms and share a single courtyard. It has doubled in size, and Luo Sigong and Wang Tong share the same compound. The meaning of this is self-evident, and it also represents Wang Tong's status.

Although Wang Tong declined several times, Jin Yiwei insisted unanimously, so he had to do business here, sat down in the duty room, and his own book office submitted today's official documents, and after reviewing a few copies, Luo Sigong walked in , greeted Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"Eunuch Gui, Eunuch Gui, Eunuch Guanglu, Shangshan Supervisor, sent someone to thank us, saying that we found the horse he lost last year, and that his nephew lost his horse at Fushou Building last year. The capital made such a fuss, but he did not expect to be caught today. The horse thief sold it to the Kaifeng mansion, and the thief was so frightened that he broke his burden as soon as he was caught, and he was in a hurry to confess his meritorious service."

Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, stealing cows and horses, eunuch Gui would be most distressed if he lost a good horse, if a small family loses a cow or horse, it would be a fatal event.

"My lord Wang's crackdown is really for our Jinyi pro-army. Now our brothers in the pro-army are straighter than before on the street. It's all thanks to Mr. Wang!"

"Du Tang praised him. From now on, Du Tang can still call Wang Tong by his name. You can't be such an adult in front of Du Tang."

Luo Sigong smiled with his hands behind his back, and said:
"You have made such a great contribution, and you don't show off your pride. The future is really limitless. I'm afraid it won't take a few days. Lao Luo, I really want to call you an adult. There is nothing wrong with you. You are busy, you are busy. Go!"

Wang Tong is polite to Luo Sigong, and he has no position to move Luo Sigong now. In the eyes of others, Wang Tong is already very measured and good at being a man. Luo Sigong naturally knows this kind of favor. Seeing that Jinyiwei is flourishing, he The aristocratic family also feels the same honor, and they come here to show their favor when they have the opportunity. They don't need this favor, but their sons and grandsons will continue to work here.

After another busy day, when he returned to his mansion, Wang Tong also felt a little tired, so he sat down on the chair, and Tan Jiang walked in and said in a low voice:

"Master, that Qi Wu who just came today must meet the master and say that he wants to thank the master face to face for taking him in."
