Chapter 257: Herding the Sheep

"The people are afraid of the officials, but if the people make more trouble, the officials are also afraid!"

"Jin Xiangtou, you are highly respected, you can see clearly, we have more than 6,000 people in the bow of the ship, and there are only so many people in Tianjin City, no matter what officials come to our side, they don't dare to do anything to us!"

"Hehe, the old man has been in Goryeo for more than 20 years, and he has been in Daming for 30 years, and it's the same over there."

In the courtyard where Wang Tong killed people last time, four big men stood in the room, and an old man sat in the middle, drinking tea leisurely.

It was when he said that he respectfully kowtowed to Wang Tong and completely subdued the incense head Jin Doucang, his attitude at this time was completely different from that time, and he had a superior bearing in his speech and demeanor.

Several big men on the side were all in harmony when they spoke, politely in awe, and after flattering a sentence, one of the people on the side whispered:

"Cui put the head and Jiang Song's incident, we lost face, recently that kid has transferred hundreds of people from outside the city into the city, not to mention the thousands of people on the salt-alkali beach outside the city are practicing there, Xiangtou, it's too dangerous, let's make preparations in advance."

Jin Doucang smiled leisurely and said:

"Why is there no preparation, isn't the person you sent out to keep an eye on every day just a preparation, that Wang Tong is young, he is also afraid after killing someone, the person who killed us is just a moment of blood, he is an official, he has a boss above him, this Wang Tong is also an unsatisfactory mix, otherwise how would he come to our Tianjin and do such a reckless thing, he must have been reprimanded on it."

These Koreans are all soft surnames, and they have to support them if they are wronged, and the people on the ground in Tianjin have a lot of dealings with the Koreans, how many are counted, Jin Doucang has been a fragrant head for almost ten years, and he is also a ruthless character, but at this time, how can the people below believe this kind of dream talk of being beaten with their heads covered.

Seeing that the people below were about to speak again, Jin Doucang said with a smile:

"He brought so many people into the city, then Wang Tong is an official, we are the people, if you really want to do something to us, why don't you drive us out, the old man told you, this is he Wang Tong is afraid, so let these people to protect it!!"

Saying this, everyone felt that there was some truth, and seeing everyone nodding, this Jin Doucang was just about to speak, but saw the main gate being pushed open suddenly, and a young man stumbled in.

"Xiao Pu, what's wrong with you!"

Several people asked at the same time, and everyone recognized that this was Jin Xiangtou's cronies, and it was also Pu Quan from Goryeo, and the fierce appearance of Pu Quan was completely gone, and he said in a panic:

"Jin Xiangtou, everyone, Wang Tong is leading a large group of people to our side."

Just now I was saying that Wang Tong was scared, who would have thought that this thing would come out in a blink of an eye, which was equivalent to a solid slap on the face of Jin Xiangtou.

But at this time, who can take care of this, these said that Wang Tong and the bow incense well water do not interfere with the river water, the two sides did not interfere in the slightest, and Wang Tong did not seem to have the slightest relationship with the bow incense, but he did not expect a sudden attack without warning.

"Close the door and gather the incense!!"

In a hurry, such an order could only be issued, and the door of the main house was open, and the leaders of the people inside shouted, and the incense people outside nervously closed the door.

Everyone in the room stood up, looked nervously outside, the white beard and white hair of the golden bucket warehouse were trembling, staring at the closed door and said astringently:

"Isn't he afraid of us making trouble?"

"Tianjin Jinyi pro-army thousands of households on errands, quickly open the door!!"

It's almost the kung fu of the front and back feet, and the sound of dense footsteps sounded outside, and someone shouted outside with a lot of anger, and the dozens of young and strong incense people in the courtyard didn't know what to do at this time, and they all turned their heads to look at the door of the house, but what about these people in Jindoucang.

The panting Pu Quan who ran in was already a little panicked, jumping there and shouting:

"Take a stake to the door, don't let those dogs in!"

His side has completely lost his proportion, and a few people on the side have reacted, reaching out to cover his mouth, and the incense people outside don't know how to react, and when they hear this order, they hurriedly take the stake and want to top the door.

"Knock on the door!!"

Before the reaction inside was how, there were already people outside who gave an order loudly, "unloading the car" and "the sixth small flag and the seventh small flag are out of the queue", that is, the kung fu of three sentences, and the big wooden door of the incense house on the bow of the ship shook violently, and there was a loud bang.

Actually so fast, looking at the gate that suddenly recessed, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but take a step back, and the second time was to crash in.

The wooden stake on the door was directly broken, and the gate slammed open, and a dozen people holding the stake outside could be seen retreating, and people with spears and swords and shields rushed inside.

"Everyone kneel on the ground, otherwise it will be a major crime of rebellion, and it will be killed!!"

The words shouted clearly, and when the incense people saw such a fierce and vicious officer and soldier, they had already been frightened, and they didn't know what to do, but when they heard this, they all knelt on the ground.

Jin Xiangtou and a group of people in the room were stunned there, and suddenly heard several loud noises behind them, and some people were shouting:

"Kneel, kneel, or you will be killed!!"

Seeing the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard pressing up with spears and swords, Jin Xiangtou completely lost the appearance of saying "he's afraid", and knelt down first with a gloomy face.

The officers and soldiers rushed in and forced everyone to kneel, but the matter was not finished, and someone outside shouted and gave orders:

"Tear this door down!!"

The wooden stakes that had just slammed into the door began to crash towards the walls on both sides, and soon the walls on both sides collapsed, and soldiers with knives and axes slashed at the door frames on both sides, and the magnificent gatehouse and gate soon collapsed.

"My lord, no one let go!"

With this announcement, several knights had already ridden into the courtyard, and the gates had been torn down, and the horses were not hindered in the slightest.

The person who ran in front was Wang Tong, he did not dismount, but stopped the horse directly in front of the main house, and asked in a cold voice:

"Why do you want to follow this official out of the city at night?"

The kneeling people were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what charge Wang Tong was going to use to ask, but they were all stunned when they heard this, and Pu Quan raised his head and shouted regardless of it:

"Big master, wronged, the little ones are only staring at the big master in the daytime, who will follow at night"

Halfway through his words, several people kneeling beside him directly covered his mouth, Jin Doucang reacted quickly, but he heard that Wang Tongxingshi's questioning should be out of the city at night to watch, he was also confused, but until this time he shouted in a hissed voice:

"Big lord, the little old man is willing to vouch for his family name, Bai Yue may have sent a few people to guard the adult's mansion, but it is impossible to follow the matter out of the city at night, if the little old man has half a lie, please ask the adult to cut the villain."

The rest of the people also reacted, they all kowtowed and cried blood, and they all admitted the things they were watching in the city without hesitation, but they followed outside the city at night, and they all swore that they didn't.

Wang Tong stared at them, his brows gradually furrowed, and he asked in a cold voice on the horse:

"How many incense sticks are there at the bow of the boat?"

"Back to the old man's words, five!"

"Do you give orders separately, and you don't know each other!"

"Big lord, if there is no notification of the five incense heads, how dare the incense people below stare at the big lord's side, the movements of the incense people inside and outside the city, everyone who wants to enter the city, the little old man must know, otherwise, the silver money on duty will not be issued."

Although he was anxious and frightened, but every question was answered very well and clearly, Wang Tong's eyes gradually narrowed, and he followed himself out of the city at night, at that time, in order to be able to explore the Haihe River at night, Wang Tong took a few people, if they were followed by people at night, and sent people to besiege them, it was the danger of being killed.

Originally, Wang Tong didn't want to have a conflict with Chuantou Xiang so early, but the other party dared to do so, which touched Wang Tong's bottom line.

And there can be spies who can be watched at night, this is more or less elite, if it weren't for Tan Jiang and other old and spicy people, Wang Tong might not be able to find out, I thought that the murder had deterred these people and didn't dare to move, I thought that the bow incense was just a folk association, but I didn't expect it to be unexpected.

In this case, Wang Tong had to move, but he didn't expect this Jin Doucang to deny it completely, and it didn't look like he was pretending to lie, which made Wang Tong a little confused, could it be that there was something else in it that he didn't know.

After a little groaning, two knights arrived from outside the courtyard, dismounted at the door, and ran quickly to Wang Tong's horse, and reported loudly:

"Report to your lordship, the two houses in the west of the city have been broken, and no one has escaped."

Hearing this, Jin Doucang, Pu Quan and the others trembled, and they didn't dare to move, Wang Tong nodded, and commanded:

"Go back and tie everyone up first, string them with ropes, and wait for the official's order!"

The herald cavalry turned around and left, Wang Tong turned around on his horse, and said coldly to the people in Jin Doucang:

"Today, the official is here, but if you want to kill someone, you know the interest, know that kowtow early, then the official will make it clear, all the incense people on the bow of the ship, they are not allowed to step into Tianjin City, they are not allowed to burn incense in the city and gather people, and they are not allowed to get close to the training camp of this official within three miles, if not, they will be killed!!"

Jin Doucang, who had been kneeling there, raised his head with a gloomy face, and said in an astringent voice:

"My lord, there are six thousand incense on the bow of my ship, aren't you afraid of the anger of the crowd?"

"Don't be afraid, you'll be killed!"

Wang Tong replied coldly, ignoring the few people who were stunned, turned his head and said loudly:

"The army obeyed the order, tied up all the people in this house and drove them out of the city, and then the whole city checked the incense burner, and the merchants in the city were not allowed to burn incense in the future."
