Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 70

In charge of the case of confiscating He Jinyin, the pusher Lu Wancai also took a share of 60 taels, and was quite hopeful about the subsequent search and inspection, thinking that no matter what, some money could be found and shared among everyone.

I didn't expect that the situation would change suddenly, and people would be released. Whether the money will be returned or not is a trivial matter. Seeing Yin Huangsen's embarrassment in the Shuntian Mansion, the little He Jinyin actually found so many high-ranking officials to intercede with him. Who knows? Will it bring disaster to myself in the future?

Huang Sen's slap in the face made Lu Wan realize that if something happened, he might be the first one to be thrown out to take the blame. As for the promise of excellent grades in the three-year examination, it was too much to keep.

Up to now, the benefits have been reaped, and the disasters have also occurred. If you want to protect yourself, the only hope is to hug the thigh of the little Zongqi, even though the eunuch's backer is not very reliable.

Lu Wancai, who was in charge of criminal names, was so panicked, not to mention Wang Si and Li Gui, the actual handlers. After Wang Si heard the news, he immediately borrowed a horse and went straight to South Street.

When we arrived at South Street, several shops were already open. Li Hutou was wandering the street holding Zhao Jinliang's hand. Li Hutou kept talking, while Zhao Jinliang remained silent.

Stopping the horse and asking, Wang Tong and others have all gone to Juyifang now. It is said that Xiaoqi Zhang Shiqiang, who came back from outside the city, searched and checked, and indeed found a hidden compartment.

Now everyone is acquaintances, everyone stopped, Wang Si trotted into the back wing.

"The little one felt that there was a hidden compartment here, but he didn't dare to touch it. Wait for the adults to come and open it."

"Haihai, Sanbiao, get rid of it."

Wang Si also squeezed in, it was the wing room where the bed was placed, the walls of this wing room were nailed to it, and Zhang Shiqiang drew a circle on the wall inside with bricks.

I used an ax to knock open the wooden board outside, but there was a one-foot-square iron box inside. After moving it out, I broke the lock on the iron box...

"This little Buddha statue... is quite heavy."

A palm-sized Buddha statue, after Wang Tong got it, he probably judged that it was made of gold and silver, but what surprised him was the shape of the Buddha statue, which also had three small suns.

After reading it, he threw it aside casually, and Sun Dahai and his subordinates went up to watch it, but they were all a little disappointed. Someone muttered:

"It's less than ten taels, what's it worth?"

However, there is a thick booklet under the Sanyang Buddha, which looks like an account book. When Wang Tong picked it up, Wang Sigu, a yamen servant from Shuntian Mansion, came up to him and hurriedly explained the affairs of the yamen. said.

What, you want to let people go?Wang Tong's face suddenly sank, and Zhang Shiqiang, Sun Dahai and others who were beside him were also a little restless. They had been doing errands in the capital for a long time, and everyone knew what this meant.

Unexpectedly, catching the boss of a casino would be so troublesome. It was nothing more than to compete with the power relations behind it. Wang Tong asked in a deep voice:
"Then how long will it take for gold and silver to be released?"

"Master Lu said that it will be closed for at least seven days... Lord Wang, Lord Lu also said that the brothers followed the Lord to take the risk to handle the case this time. If there is any trouble, the Lord should not leave the brothers alone. !"

Wang Si spoke calmly at the beginning, but later he burst into tears. Wang Tong tied up the booklet with furoshiki, waved his hand and said:
"Wang is not someone who disregards his brothers, remember this sentence."

Isn't it just to compare the relationships and backers behind him? Thinking about those people in his shop, Wang Tong sneered in his heart, full of confidence.

But this He Jinyin really has some problems, the golden Sanyang Buddha placed in the hidden compartment, and this booklet, and a small casino owner, even the Shuntian Mansion and the imperial power eunuchs can't stop him , this Heaven and Earth Sanyang Society really has some tricks, just fight, think about who is the biggest in the world.

Not to mention Wang Si nodded and bowed his thanks to express his loyalty. Everyone lost the mood to continue the investigation. As usual, two people stayed behind to guard the door. A group of people walked out. When they reached the door, Wang Tong said to everyone:

"Keep this matter from Xiao Liang, don't say anything, this child is too preoccupied."

Everyone nodded, and the two Jin Yiwei who were left behind whispered:

"Speaking of which, our adults are only 13 years old, and this matter is more thoughtful than us."

The words were heard by Sun Dahai who was walking in front, and he turned his head and stared viciously, immediately making them bow their heads and dare not speak again.

Wang Tong didn't lead the crowd back to the store, but went to the construction site of Huwei Martial Art Museum, which was just across the street, and many people didn't know that there was a lot of construction going on here.

The inner court personally supervised it, and a large amount of silver was poured down. The effect is really different. The work of dismantling and leveling is almost completed. It is compacted with a stone roller, which makes the ground about the same hardness and elasticity.

As for the big shed of the martial arts hall, it has been completely covered, and the people coming in and out must be doing interior decoration.

"Brother Li, from now on, this martial arts gym will invite you to be the instructor to teach the children the methods of martial arts."

Wang Tong explained this matter to Li Wenyuan long ago. Li Wenyuan looked at the venue here and nodded silently. Wang Tong said with a smile again:

"It's enough to teach some fists and kicks. I'll teach them how to train their bodies. There's no need for such killing skills."

Having said that, he called Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang over again, and said:
"For us people, the law and order of South Street must be maintained, and we must pay close attention to this martial arts hall. The two of you need to think about how to look after it."

Zhang Shiqiang and Sun Dahai looked left and right, and immediately felt bitter. Sun Dahai first said:
"My lord, this place is too big. It's not easy for us brothers to keep an eye on this place. If we want to go to South Street again, it will be difficult."

While talking, Wang Tong looked around, looked absent-minded, and replied directly:

"It's not difficult. In addition to this martial arts gym that teaches children, we also need to open another martial arts gym that recruits young and strong young men from good families. That is the general training of our army. Isn't there a practice of recruiting helpers ourselves? Just do it!"

In addition to their own subordinates, Jin Yiwei's powerful and powerful people can also spend money to hire people, similar to household servants, who help with some work. These people are called helpers. Although they are not in the establishment, these people They tend to work harder, and they are more fearless in fights. Most of the manpower is actually better than the real Jinyiwei. Hearing what Wang Tong said, everyone has nothing to worry about.

Wang Tong kept looking around, and saw a little eunuch coming out of the front shed, this man was black and thin, it was the Xiao Cai whom he had seen in the tavern a few days ago, he hurried up to greet him.

"Eunuch Cai, please stay, stay!"

Seeing that it was Wang Tong who greeted him, the little eunuch surnamed Cai stopped in his tracks, bowed his hands and said with a smile:

"Master Wang, do you want to kill the little one? You can't bear the title of father-in-law, just call us Xiao Cai."

Wang Tong clasped his hands together with a smile, and still said politely:

"Eunuch Cai, I haven't seen Eunuch Zou in the past few days. I don't know if he is here today?"

Xiao Cai shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Eunuch Zou has handed over all the affairs here to the construction of Zhidian Supervisor outside the palace. He is also busy with important things in the palace, and he can't get away these days."

"Will you be here in a few days?"

"Probably not, Eunuch Zou is too busy!"

After speaking, he bowed with a smile, and then walked away quickly. Wang Tong also bowed his hands with a smile, but he felt that something was wrong. This Xiao Cai's attitude was respectful, but obviously alienated. What, the only reason might be whether or not to investigate the Sanyang Sect that day, Zou Yi advised him not to worry about it.

Maybe I really ran into trouble and touched something that shouldn't be touched, otherwise how could someone like Zou Yi hide...

"Father, uncles, why did you come here? Xiaoliang and I are easy to find."

Li Hutou led Zhao Jinliang over with a face full of reluctance, and kept complaining:
"Lead Xiaoliang around, buy him snacks, tell jokes and stories, but he just doesn't laugh, he's so bored, I'm going to practice martial arts."

Seeing that Zhao Jinliang was not interested in anything, and he looked so stupid, Wang Tong felt uncomfortable. For such a villain who has no conscience, he must be brought to justice and avenge Zhao Jinliang. I think so , but said with a smile:

"Then you go to practice martial arts, let Xiaoliang follow along, and we all follow along."

Since Zou Yi couldn't wait, he might as well go back and talk with Zhao Jinliang. Wang Tong could think about it, and he would make troubles. He just had to wait until after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Martial Arts Hall opened, and meet Emperor Wanli again at that time. That's all.

If you have nothing to do, then go to Li Wenyuan's house. It is also the New Year's time and there is nothing important. Everyone came to Li Wenyuan's house happily.

There are many stone locks, shelves and other equipment in Li Wenyuan's house. It is a small training ground for martial arts. A group of people came here, each of them found something, and chatted while commanding.

Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao followed in front of Li Wenyuan, listening to this battle experience veteran talk about his battle experience, Li Wenyuan talked eloquently:

"At the beginning, my commander-in-chief often exchanged letters with General Yu Dayou, discussing his fighting skills. Those like me who were with the commander-in-chief often had to learn these skills before teaching other soldiers..."

Both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are well-known fighters in the present age. In addition, they have been on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War for a long time, and the martial arts honed in actual combat are even more killing skills.

(This is not fiction. At that time, Yu Dayou intensively studied martial arts and passed them on to the army after improving them, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army. There is also a saying that Shaolin Temple sent monks and soldiers to help officers and soldiers destroy Japanese pirates, but suffered heavy losses. Yu Dayou Only after improving Shaolin martial arts can it be used in actual combat. After these monks and soldiers returned to Shaolin, they spread Yu Dayou's martial arts. This is the real ancestor of Shaolin martial arts today.)
Wang Tong also heard all kinds of sayings occasionally, not to mention Li Wenyuan's ability has been seen in street fights, it is indeed a powerful and practical technique, and he really needs to study hard.

Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, and then there was another muffled sound of a sharp weapon piercing the wood. Looking back, it was Li Hutou holding a short spear about a foot taller than him, and was piercing a spear. wooden target.

The target was a wooden sign the size of a child's palm, with a red dot drawn on it, and Li Hu's short spear had just been pulled out from the red dot.

"The kung fu on the battlefield must not be ambiguous. Hutou has to pierce this wooden plaque five hundred times a day. If the stabbing is not accurate, he needs to practice more. Now he is finally looking good."

Both Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao nodded, this is real skill, but Li Wenyuan's sprint assassination was practiced by himself, and showed off to everyone, and also meant to make Zhao Jinliang happy, but Zhao Jinliang was there holding his hands Gills, I don't know what I'm thinking.

When he got home, Wang Tongcai unfolded the thick booklet, and recorded a personal name and a number in the booklet.

It’s not like a list, it’s not like a ledger, it’s not like a black record of bribing officials, because every name rarely has a number greater than ten, and the number under He Jinyin’s name is Two, the sum of these numbers is almost more than ten thousand. Even if it represents a certain unit of money, it is too small to be apportioned to one person, and the sum is too large.

Moreover, the names on this book do not seem to be any high-ranking officials, the six ministries and nine ministers, the chief ministers of the cabinet, and the 24 yamen in the palace.

If you don't understand it, you can't understand it, but Wang Tong knew that this booklet must be very important, otherwise he wouldn't put it in the hidden compartment in an iron box. place.

In the next few days, I learned something from Li Wenyuan every day, arranged for the guys and helpers who came back to prepare materials for the opening, and cleaned up the house.

There is a ready-made building here, and the yards bought on both sides have been expanded and rebuilt. Now the delicious restaurant has been converted into two parts. The original old store is smaller, and the new store is three times the size of the old store. , Tables, benches and tableware are all purchased in the palace. It is conceivable that the business will increase exponentially when it reopens.

What made Wang Tong even more dumbfounded was that the Supervisor of Shangshan actually sent two cooks and a supervising eunuch to help manage the business of the delicious restaurant.

The news was heard from the words of Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, who was the companion of Emperor Wanli. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Cheng brought several people to Wang Tong's house.

On the [-]th, [-]th and [-]th day of the first lunar month, there is no curfew in the capital. The palace and the government, as well as the rich and powerful, all pay to make lanterns. Firstly, it is to entertain the people. The time is coming to an end, the last carnival of the first lunar month.

Among Wang Tong's subordinates, except for Zhang Shiqiang who kept in mind that he was a slave, the rest couldn't calm down with money in their pockets, so they simply asked them to go out together with Zhao Jinliang to relax.
