Nanjing Lane in the east city of Jingshi, this is the residence of the officials who hold military positions in the yamen of the Beijing Division, why is it called Nanjing Lane, because when Chengzu moved the capital, the military generals who brought it to the Jingshi were all gathered here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In August of the tenth year of Wanli, there was also a lively period of time, because there was a Jinyi guard commander here, who visited and gave gifts, and naturally it was indispensable, and the door was like a city.

However, after Zhang Siwei Ding returned to his hometown, Shen Shixing sat in the position of Zifu, although he didn't see any moves, but the lively Nanjing Alley was quickly deserted, and people went to tea and cool, Zhang Siwei stopped the emperor and sent Luo Sigong to the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and now that Zhang Siwei is gone, who will be proud of him.

This position is different from others, no matter who is in power above, it is always necessary to let people who are trustworthy come over, Luo Sigong and no one are considerate, and everyone knows that his life will not last long.

It was just dark, the door of Luo's Mansion was closed, and in the Luo family's study, Luo Sigong walked around the room irritably, but there were several fathers sitting on the seats next to him.

In the brocade guard, there are a few people who can read and write, not to mention what study, the so-called study is just a more secret place of discussion, the anxiety on Luo Sigong's face can be seen by anyone, he walked a few steps, stopped and said to a scribe sitting there, seeing the scribe's calm expression, Luo Sigong shook his hands and roared in a low voice:

"It's a stroke of luck that I can sit in this position, since Your Majesty wants Wang Tong to do it, then let him do it and leave, you toss these at the city gate, do you know how much risk there is!? Now that the person has been arrested, the person who went to ask just now has also returned, those bastards are locked in the cell of the Department of Public Security, and they can't move. It's a big disaster!! ”

After Luo Sigong finished speaking, several scribes exchanged glances, and the scribe in front of Luo Sigong smiled and said:

"The proprietor is really a loyal person, and it's no wonder that Zhang Ge Lao chose you to do this position, don't worry, those people can't get involved with the proprietor, this kind of thing, it's just that someone is speaking up in the hall, and some people are talking in private, saying that blocking Wang Tong and not letting him in the door, no matter what the result is, you can have a big name, so there are people with hot heads rushing out to make trouble, this kind of thing, every year, but this time it hit the wall, the proprietor doesn't have to worry!?" A person on the side said:

"Qingliu scolded the internal guards, this is a matter of course, who would think that someone instigated, since that Wang Tong has the means, it can only be said that they are unlucky."

As soon as the words "internal guard soldier" came out, Luo Sigong glared at him violently, the person was stunned, got up with a dry smile and made amends, Luo Sigong sat on the seat with a cold face, the word internal guard is nothing, but this "military pawn" is a great insult to the military generals and military attachés.

"You guys are too underestimate Wang Tong, the elder of the big Zhang Ge and the elder of the little Zhang Ge have pressed him for so many years, but what, Wang Tong has made the situation in his hands bigger and bigger, you must have heard of the chaos in the palace, there is such a feat, you think you can suppress him, and make such jokes, don't be too sure, when the time comes, everyone will not have a good time."

Luo Sigong said a few words in the seat, slapped the table with his hand, and said hatefully:

"No, I'll play tomorrow, saying that I'm not feeling well, please resign from this commander, I'm happy that day, I thought luck fell on my head, but I didn't expect that I came to the stove to be roasted, don't do it, don't do it!!"

Hearing him say this, the scribe who called him the proprietor was stunned, and did not speak, but leaned directly back in his chair, and the scribe named the internal guard soldier sneered, and said:

"Luo Dutang, it's not a good time for you to go down at this time, the student thinks, if you want to resign, the officials will be impeached the day after tomorrow, you received 50,000 taels from the thousand households stationed in Henan, you received 60,000 taels from Xijiang, and the one who wants to come back from Ningxia, how much did you send, you can't hide this pile!"

Luo Sigong slammed the table, stood up and shouted angrily:

"Bastard, you want to blackmail this official!!"

"It's not to coerce, it's just a reminder, Luo Dutang, you were recommended by Zhang Ge Lao, at present, among the six departments of the Beijing Cabinet, except for Fu Shen Shixing, the rest are recommended by Zhang Ge Lao, if one of the people recommended by Zhang Ge Lao goes down, the rest of the people will naturally be able to go down, this. The son can't be opened, besides, His Majesty didn't say that he would let the capital hall go to work, why are you so uncontrollable!! ”

These words were almost reprimanded, perhaps feeling too stiff, and the person who called the proprietor hurriedly smiled and said:

"For our Jinyi Wei pro-army side, the big guy doesn't want an inexplicable person to come to the position of the capital, he is not familiar with any rules, and he is blind all day long, besides, His Majesty is alienated from the hundreds of officials in the court, but he is close to the ministers, this is a major matter related to the society of the country, we can't sit idly by as courtiers!!"

Luo Sigong stood there and looked left and right, some people laughed, some people were angry, and he also understood in his heart that the people here said that they were his staff members, and behind them were those big guys, and he was helpless.

Standing there silent for a while, Luo Sigong took a long breath and said tiredly:

"Do what you say, do what you say, the official is tired, and he wants to rest."

The scribes all stood up and politely said goodbye and went out, these people went out, and the servants who walked in Luo Sigong's personal companion were ready to clean up, and saw Luo Sigong covering his forehead with his hands and worrying there, so he moved lightly, and when he walked to Luo Sigong, he was grabbed by Luo Sigong and heard him shout in a low voice:

"Don't make a sound, wait until you go out and do something for me!!"

…………

Although Wang Tong has not been in Beijing for more than five years, his house and Ma Sanbiao's house are regularly cleaned by people, this time I heard Wang Tong come back, before he entered the door, the fire wall in the house had already burned, and the house was as warm as spring, and the tea and everything had been prepared.

Sitting on the chair in the hall, Wang Tong looked left and right, he didn't feel that he had been gone for five years, but as if he had just come back, he could hear the guards on night outside talking in a whisper, which made Wang Tong feel a little different, Wang Tong shook his head and smiled, picked up the tea bowl and drank.

Before the tea bowl was placed on the table, someone outside reported that Li Gui, the chief catcher of Shuntian Mansion, had arrived" Wang Tong said, please" Li Gui opened the cotton curtain and walked in.

As soon as he entered the house and saw Wang Tong, Li Gui hurriedly knelt down to give a salute, Wang Tong stepped forward with a smile and said:

"It's all my own family, what are you doing like this!?"

"Lord Wang has a different status now, but he is still so kind and magnanimous, it is wrong for the small one to do it, when the adult enters the city in the afternoon, the small one is waiting at the yamen, and he did not go to greet him, and I hope that the adult is not strange!"

Now Wang Tong is a real commander of the Jinyi Guard, and his status is even more different from Li Gui's, Li Gui is a lot more careful than before, but Wang Tong smiled heartily and said:

"There are so many people blowing and blowing at the city gate to greet them, and the commotion is so loud, this momentum is not small, there is no need for our own family to trouble again!"

Both sides laughed, and Li Guiyu reported:

"Hundreds of people were caught in at night, and when they were caught in, they had already found someone to mix in, there were many people on the left and right, and it was dark and they didn't know who had stayed outside the city, whether it was Chen Ge or someone outside, they all said that they were in the hall and heard that Wang Tong brought a large amount of silver into the city, if it could be stopped or reprimanded, it was a good opportunity to show righteousness, these civil officials said this, and they also sent people to talk to the Ministry of Public Security, saying that their own masters let them go out of the city to see what was going on, and they were sure that Wang Tong pulled a large amount of silver into Beijing, He also said that this is a good opportunity to make a name for himself in the world. ”

Wang Tong sat there and muttered for a while, and then said:

"There is no confession behind the instructions?"

"What these people said should be true, so it is someone who instigated it, these clear streams in Beijing in order to show their reputation, listen to the wind is rain, and do not care about anything in order to become famous, the villain thinks that the instigated people should also watch the excitement at the city gate, but they definitely did not go to the front."

Li Guishun Tianfu has been arrested for many years, and he has been trained in the Public Security Department for a few years, he still has experience, and his analysis is reasonable, Wang Tong nodded silently, and Li Gui said again:

"It's that a few of the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division have told the truth, these people have a lot of dealings with our Public Security Division on weekdays, and they are all familiar, and they don't dare to speak outside, so they say politely and politely inside, saying that Chen Jiuying, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, has been instructed to check and inspect when the adults enter the city, but they didn't expect that there were already people outside the city who were blocking the trouble, so they didn't do it, and they looked lively on the side."

Wang Tong sneered, waved his hand and said:

"The soldiers of the Terracotta Division have recorded. After the offering, let it go, give some tea and silver in private, and there will be a place to use it in the future, Li Gui, you see that many people in this Beijing division don't want me to come, and they don't want me to do that position when they come!! ”

"The villain doesn't know anything else, but he knows that if you come to Jingshi, the villain's good days will come, and I have confidence in my heart!!"

…………

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Tong had just finished washing, and someone from the guards outside reported that a eunuch had come to the palace.

"Long live Lord Xuan Wang Tong into the palace!"

Wang Tong couldn't help but wonder, thinking that it was not the time for the emperor and his ministers to listen to political deliberations in the morning, why did he have to go to see the driver at this time.
