Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 799
The head of the department is the most unworthy of the Langguan. In the department, even the officials who are on errands have a bit more face than them.

Although the two principals who came to the Suzhou Guild Hall to give lectures every day had a mentor-student relationship with Yan Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yan Qing was a square man who didn't take much care of his disciples, and they usually didn't get any benefits.

But these days, they are full of ambition. They are impassioned in this guild hall, and there are many people who are watching and agreeing. There are so many, who would pay attention to two ordinary principals.

Right now, as soon as the two of them entered the guild hall, the people in the guild hall would offer fragrant tea and reserve the best seats, and many people who were higher in rank and reputation than them came to greet them.

The so-called fame is like this. According to past experience, the two of them can already be called celebrities if they have achieved such a level, and there will be some praises such as "strength of character". There is a great opportunity to make up for the position.

The speaker is not guilty, and these words have not been formed into words, there is no factual evidence, and there is no need to worry about being caught for any crime, so the two spoke very vigorously.

The news that Wang Tong had returned to Beijing was already known by someone in the Suzhou Guild Hall, but those who knew were not going to spread it around, let alone tell these two.

Just as Zhang Boyu and Li Guangting spoke a few words, they were stopped by the Jinyi guards outside. The five Jinyi guards were at the outer edge of the crowd, staring solemnly at them, and the audience dispersed to all directions.

As an official of the imperial court, he naturally knew that Jin Yiwei was powerful, but with so many people watching, Zhang Boyu and Li Guangting could not lose face. Zhang Boyu snorted coldly and said:
"It's me, you two."

Halfway through the conversation, two Jinyi guards stepped forward and started to fight, dragging their hands behind their backs, and directly tied them up with the prepared ropes.

".What are you doing!! I'm an official of the imperial court, and I have a reputation, how dare you!"

"Zhang Boyu, Li Guangting, the two of you have deceived the public with false rumors, slandered the meritorious soldiers, and the Jinyi army suspected that you had evil intentions, and you were instigated by others, take them down and question them!!"

Just now, the two men were there to yell that the army of the Northern Expedition had misconduct, but they didn't expect the retribution in this world to come so quickly, and these words were directly placed on their own heads by the soldiers of Jin Yiwei.

Being yelled at and their hands tied up, these two people have seen this scene before, but at this moment they thought that the guard in Jinyi didn't have to go through the Ministry of Punishments, and was placed in the imperial prison, where all the cruelties were concocted. The means, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Zhang Boyu and Zhang Boyu were already in a panic, and Li Guangting, who was younger, shouted at the top of his voice:
"I'm not guilty. Jin Yiwei tied up and insulted the court officials in the street. A gentle man, this is doing it loudly."

As soon as the eloquent words started, a ball of rags was stuffed into his mouth, and Zhang Boyu was not spared either. The two of them could not speak, and their whole bodies began to tremble with fear. They dragged people out like dogs.

The officials and scholars around were all terrified when they saw it. Scholars pay attention to a gentle demeanor. The two of them were tied up and showed such a distressed appearance. They have already lost their faces. This Jin Yiwei was a sharp blade in Wang Tong's hands, and he would cut it off as soon as he was offended.

However, everyone is also surprised, not only in this Suzhou guild hall, but also in other guild halls and teahouses. There are many people who preach like this, and it took half a month. Yes, but I think so, but now it is not so easy to get out.

Two brocade guards dragged people out, there were three more people in the room, and two more people who were watching the excitement from the crowd came out, holding paper and pens in their hands, discussing with the guards in brocade clothes, and then said:
"The slanderous words spoken by those two people just now are all recorded here. Everyone here, come and sign and be a witness!"

Everyone was terrified again, this Jin Yiwei was really meticulous in his work, he couldn't escape what he said, and he couldn't escape what he heard, but at this time, they couldn't help them, they could only bite the bullet and testify.

************
"My lord, the five guild halls and the twelve teahouses in the city have all been arrested and are now in custody!"

Wang Tong rode on the road, and a hundred households of Jin Yiwei caught up with them on horseback and reported directly. Wang Tong nodded and said:
"Join the people from the Department of Public Security and the Department of Military Justice to go to the trial. Today we have to produce the confession. Don't see blood or die. Use the rest of the methods. If they have business in their family, they will be warned directly. If they don't cooperate obediently, they will definitely let them Bankruptcy!"

Hundreds of households immediately bowed to receive orders, and hastened to turn their horses around. Wang Tong was about to reach his destination under the henchman of a group of people. On the north side of the city, there were no common people on the road, and there were many people riding horses and carts. , Most of the people walking on the road are dressed as servants. This is the place where the nobles of the capital live.

There are white walls and black tiles on both sides of the road, and the mansion is deep. , from time to time pass by a certain door, the red lacquer door, surrounded by a general majestic atmosphere, neatly dressed, arrogant servants and servants lined up in front of the door to welcome guests.

The servants and servants are also dressed in silk and satin, and the saddle and bridle of the horses in front of the door may not be affordable for a small family. Looking at the courtyard from the open door, you can also see exotic flowers and plants. , pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions, such luxury and wealth, the only place in the world that can be compared is Nanjing.

This should be where the top group of Ming Dynasty people lived. Wang Tong immediately saw clearly that a certain fourth-rank official was humbly smiling in front of a certain house, and the servants of that family looked cold and extremely arrogant.

But when the group of people saw Wang Tong's team riding by, they were a little panicked. Wang Tong looked around on the horse, and everyone who was swept by Wang Tong's eyes couldn't help but bow their heads to avoid them, and some even hid in the door. Internally, this kind of performance made Wang Tong ridiculed even more. They are all stern and stubborn, and they are really not worth mentioning.

Walking forward for more than a hundred steps, there turned out to be a large pond with woods around the pond. This place is not like other places in the capital. The pond and woods are full of sundries and garbage. Quiet, some wild scenery, deliberately protected by the rich and powerful.

There are also people who have built pavilions here, and regularly arrange gardeners to come and tidy up, making this place more tidy and the scenery more pleasant. Because of this, the land prices here and around are extremely high, and the land price in the north of the city is the most expensive place in the capital. Here It is the most expensive of the most expensive. Being able to buy property here is a proof of identity and wealth.

But in the mid-Longqing period, the beautiful scenery in the city became a private garden of a family. When Wang Tong arrived here, he had already reined in his horses. Within a hundred steps ahead, there was a spacious open space, with four streets in front of him. There is only one family in the enclosed area.

This is the top wealthy family in the capital, the number one person among the nobles, the brother of the empress dowager, the uncle of the emperor, and the residence of Li Wenquan, Marquis of Wuqing.

Wang Tong took a look at this extraordinary mansion, and he could see the pavilions and pavilions inside through the high wall. Some people who have visited it commented that the regulation style of Marquis Wuqing's mansion can be regarded as the first in the world. Even the Duke of Wei in Nanjing can't compare. Some people say that the palace is not as good as it?The man commented that the West Garden of the Imperial Palace was built decades ago after all, and everything is outdated.
"Who is it, get off the horse quickly!!"

Just as Wang Tong and his group were about to step forward, they heard someone sternly yelling at the gate of Marquis Wuqing's mansion. Wang Tong was taken aback for a moment, but he still shook the reins and walked forward, followed by dozens of riders.

"Do you know whose mansion this is? How dare you stay on the horse?"

The person who shouted was obviously a little out of breath. Seeing that Wang Tong and the others still did not stop their horses, several people ran over and looked like they were also dressed as servants. When they were still a dozen steps away, they waved their arms up and down and shouted:

"Where is the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion, no matter what your rank is, you have to dismount. Do you have a future in your eyes?"

There were still a few steps close to Wang Tong's mount, and he was still gesticulating there. Wang Tong raised the whip in his hand and pulled it down. The man never thought that Wang Tong would dare to do it. When he was drawn, a red mark immediately appeared, and he covered his face and howled miserably.

"Are you trying to be disrespectful to the empress dowager and the emperor?"

The other three people who ran over didn't expect Wang Tong to make a move at all, so they all stood still in fright, and when they saw that Wang Tong was wearing only the robe of a brocade guard commander, they became more courageous and pretended to be arrogant Yelling, seeing that Wang Tong was still riding forward, he couldn't help but get out of the way in fright.

"Is there a decree in the palace to let civil and military officials dismount from their horses and sedan chairs in front of Marquis Wuqing's gate?"

Wang Tong immediately asked coldly, and the three people in front could answer. Although the Empress Dowager Li trusted her father and brother, she still couldn't do such an extremely domineering move. The reason why everyone has this habit is that they are in awe of Wu Qing The power of the Hou family is just to give them some face.

Seeing a group of Jin Yiwei come over without hesitation, the three servants who didn't frighten them were very surprised. There are still some people in the capital who don't give Wu Qinghou face. Seeing the horse approaching, he couldn't help screaming in horror.

Naturally the horses would not trample on them, but the yelling made the guards and porters in front of the mansion tense up. Seeing them as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Wang Tong ignored them at all, and just dismounted on his own. Opened his mouth and said:
"Jinyiwei Wang Tong, please see Lord Wuqing!"
