Chapter 308: Hesitation
In Tianjin Wei in September of the sixth year of Wanli, the names of Ma Dafu and Sha Erbao were mentioned the most, and the leaders walked the streets and alleys to find their former incense people, first sent rice, noodles, wine and meat, and then talked about the current suffering together, and scolded Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tong together.
On the 16th of September, Pan Ming, the head of the city, came to the Tianjin Acropolis, not because there were incense people in the city who he should go to tandem, but because he came to the city to discuss a few business.
Pan Ming is a measured person, he has never coerced anyone in the past few years, and he has been a peacemaker many times, and the relationship has been maintained somewhat.
Now that the bow incense has fallen, everyone cares about the old feelings, and can still take care of his business, which can be regarded as Pan Ming's long-term plan, and he didn't be too rampant or do things absolutely back then.
He was wearing a brown robe, dressed as an outsider, from the river to the city gate, from the city gate to the city, Pan Ming really saw a lot of familiar faces along the way.
The leaders who were originally arrogant and swaggering walked disguised themselves as ordinary people, walked carefully with their heads bowed, and scurried around the streets and alleys, carrying things in their hands, coming out of one house and entering another, if they didn't know who they were, and also knew that most of them entered the homes of the incense people, they would be thought to be thieves.
Pan Ming also lowered his head, in the past, he still felt that the bow of the boat was majestic, but now he only felt ashamed, and lowered his head so as not to be embarrassed by the two sides.
After walking for a while, the pedestrians on the road hurriedly flashed to the side and let the fifty-person brocade guards pass, and Pan Ming naturally gave way.
The team of fifty people, five people lined up in a column, with weapons in their hands, marched in neat steps, the two generals in front of them carried knives around their waists, shouted trumpets in their mouths, and walked solemnly and quietly in the back.
Although he was walking, there was an aura of murder when he looked at it, Pan Ming had also seen a large group of hundreds of people on the dock, but the hundreds of people who were shouting and shouting were not as good as these fifty people.
Pan Ming also knew that the three courtyards in the city, which were originally the head of the boat, were now all standing by Wang Tong, a thousand households of the brocade guard, and a battalion of 200 people was placed in one courtyard, and three courtyards in each day took turns to patrol the city.
Although his family background has been ruined, Pan Ming was a person who had seen the world after all, and he knew better than those grassroots-born incense heads what the concept of Jinyi Wei Qianhu was.
When I was in Wuqiang County, there was a Zhuangzi outside the county, and the owner of the Zhuangzi was said to be the remnants of Liu Liu's and Liu Qima's rebellion, and more than 500 Zhuangke in the village were rampant and domineering in the local area.
The county commander was furious and sent people to arrest him, but he was beaten back, and the county immediately submitted a report, and a thousand commanders were sent to clear it.
The entire Zhuangzi was washed clean by the officers and soldiers, and the owner of the village was also arrested and beheaded.
Since then, Pan Ming has had a plan in his heart, the people can't fight the officials, looking at the majestic Zhuangzi, who has been rampant and domineering for so long, it doesn't mean that he will be destroyed if he is destroyed.
Now the bow of the boat is making wind and rain up and down, but what kind of person is this Wang Tong, but the fierce god who dares to pull the cannon over to bombard the shop on the street, what will happen to him if he makes trouble like this, it's really hard to say.
The soldiers patrolling the street have already walked over, Pan Ming is still there stunned, the severed finger of his left hand is a little itchy, look up at the sky, it is very clear, but Pan Ming knows that in a few days, maybe the sky will be cloudy, maybe there will be a light rain or something, the feeling of the severed finger has always been very effective.
Thinking of this, Pan Ming reached out and touched his neck, he could still feel the itch after his finger was broken, and if his neck was broken, could he still feel itchy.
When I watched this scene, I only felt that my legs weighed a thousand pounds, and the slower and slower I walked, thinking about the family I had saved, thinking about the honest mother-in-law at home and the child in my belly, my head was in a mess.
Being in the bow of the boat, he really knows a lot about the details of this Wang Tong, this brocade Wei Qianhu is not very old, but he is a figure who is through the sky, it is said that he is a cronie of the Long Live Lord, and he was driven to Tianjin after the first assistant Zhang Da was evil.
But when I came to Tianjin, this favor was not bad at all, this does not need to be rumored that everyone is also looking at it, besieging the Yamen of the military station, beating the servants of the eunuchs who supervised the grain, shelling the shops, killing people on the street, this kind of thing came out, but there was nothing, but it became more and more popular.
It's not that someone is behind it, what is this, such a character, it's almost the same as selling himself to take refuge, and he really wants to tear off his face and mess with him, isn't this a long life?
Just thinking about it while walking, as soon as I looked up, there was the Drum Tower not far in front of me, and the Drum Tower was not the residence of Wang Tong of Jinyi Wei Qianhu?
Pan Ming was subconsciously startled, but found that what was turning over and over in his mind at this time was a sentence and a thought, "How to sell yourself and take refuge".
Chuantou Xiang is good to himself, and he sees that status is also earned by his own hard work, each head has the best to do, but the position is the highest, the oil and water is the largest, and it is not the cronies of those incense heads, and outsiders like themselves are afraid that they will not be able to mix any other benefits in this life.
If you do what you are told from above, it will be a sin to kill your head if you don't do it well, and if you don't do it according to the above, there are many ruthless characters here in the bow incense.
His own industry, his own mother-in-law and children, Pan Ming thought, but his footsteps unconsciously came to the door of Wang Tong's mansion in Tianjin Jinyi Weiqianhu.
The guards guarding the door watched a man dressed in Uesugi come over with a reluctant spirit, all of them were on guard in their hearts, and the people behind had already drawn their weapons, and the leader in front shouted:
"This is Lord Wang's mansion, the idlers retreat!!"
Pan Ming was caught off guard, he almost jumped up by this loud shout, stabilized his mind but didn't dare to look back, for fear that there were people watching the bow of the boat outside, but he was often active outside the city, and the people in the city might not know him.
The soldiers at the door saw that he stopped there and did not move, and became more and more vigilant, and even the people in front of him had already drawn their weapons, and if there was a slight mistake, they would be killed on the spot.
Pan Ming touched the severed finger of his left hand with his right hand, thinking about his prominence in Wuqiang County, what did that prominence rely on, not relying on the official body, when he was at home, he also took out the Four Books and Five Classics from time to time at night to take a look, and he couldn't forget the imperial examination.
There is such an opportunity here in front of him, to see if he can grasp it well, Pan Ming took a deep breath, pondered deeply, and said in a low voice:
"A few officials, the small ones have a big event to meet Lord Wang......."
