arranged for those people from the Tan family to go to the house to rest, but Wang Tong didn't have time to rest.

When Ma Sanbiao moved in, his wife Ma told her a thousand times, saying that she should change her habits at home and serve Master Wang well.

Ping said that he was separated by a wall, and he had hugged Wang Tong since he was a child, and suddenly he had to treat him with respect, which was really unaccustomed, but fortunately, Wang Tong didn't care much about this, what Ma Sanbiao had to do was what he did, and when he thought about it, he would bring Wang Tong's share.

After everyone left, Ma Sanbiao boiled water on the stove set up on the brick platform in the yard, prepared footwashing water for himself and Wang Tong before going to bed, and trained every day, the blisters on his hands and feet should be broken, washed with hot water, and boiled water.

The bells and drums of the imperial city came, the night was already deep, but there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, Ma Sanbiao yawned, thinking that when he came to South Street at this time, he was going to find his master.

Sure enough, someone knocked on the side door, and Lu Tuiguan's voice came outside:

"In Xia Lu Wancai, I want to see Lord Wang!!"

Ma Sanbiao is rough, but he also knows that it is his own family outside, so he hurriedly went over to open the door, but Lu Wancai came over with Wang Si and Li Gui this time.

When he arrived here, Lu Wancai nodded at Ma Sanbiao and said in a low voice:

"Sanbiao, can you take a look outside, don't have any unrelated people coming in."

"There's not even a wild cat here in the middle of the night, so what's the person, you guys, Master Lu, go in first, I'll go out and have a look."

Ma Sanbiao complained angrily, and stood outside the courtyard gate with a Pu knife, and Lu Wancai and the three of them hurriedly walked in.

The matter is urgent, but after seeing Wang Tong, he was stunned, Wang Tong was reading a book in the main hall, in the eyes of Lu Wancai and others, Wang Tong, a young man, is brave and strategic, the city is very, and he is very precocious, but after all, he is a martial artist of Jinyiwei, and he may know the words, but the scene of reading a book is too amazing.

There are too few literate people in Jinyiwei, and there are Ti who rode out of Beijing to pass the decree without knowing the content of the will, and he had to ask someone to tell him that he would dare to go out only after he was familiar with it.

If you want to read and write, that is, it is possible for thousands of households or above, although Wang Tong has climbed the big tree, he is only from a small flag, how can he still read.

Wang Tong rubbed his temples, raised his head with a bitter face, and said with a smile:

"There's no punctuation, and I really can't understand this book."

He joked, the somewhat nervous Lu Wancai and the other three of them were a little relaxed, Lu Wancai didn't understand the word "punctuation", but the word "separation" made him understand what was going on, and then smiled and answered:

"Brother Wang went and invited an old showman, and let them break the sentence for you."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, got up and said:

"Brother Lu, sit down, wait a minute, let Sanbiao boil water and make tea here."

"Brother is polite, the three of us are not thirsty, but there are some important things to tell Brother Wang, Wang Si, you go and close the door!"

The door was closed, and Lu Wancai said:

"Brother has been doing this errand for almost fifteen years, and he will not forget people's names, I looked at the roster on your side, brother, and after I went back, I went around the rooms of Shuntian Mansion and looked at the roster, at least twenty people's names were seen on my brother's side yesterday."

This was almost expected, Lu Wancai wiped his sweat and continued:

"This matter made my brother frightened, in the afternoon, Suo surnamed Wang Si and Li Gui and others went to the Wucheng Terracotta Division and randomly found a place to transfer their roster, and there were many familiar soldiers among the paid soldiers."

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is the most inconspicuous armed force in the Beijing Division, and he also has soldiers and soldiers, but they are all guarding at various city gates, and then there are some errands to maintain law and order and patrol the night, but Shuntianfu, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang all have some functions that overlap with them, and the command of the Terracotta Division is just a five-grade military attaché, and who will pay attention to military attachés of this size.

The soldiers and horses of these five cities have always been an angry yamen, and the military salary has never been paid on time, and most of the generals and soldiers are unusable old and weak.

According to Lu Wancai's words, with the identity of this official, he can openly walk on the street in a uniform with a sword, and when it comes to a critical moment, he can get into trouble with his elbows and armpits, causing a catastrophe that he cannot be prepared for.

Wang Tong groaned for a while, and then asked:

"Is this true?"

Now Wang Tong is also afraid that he is worried too much, and as a result, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and when the time comes, people will not trust, but let those evil destroyers take advantage of the loopholes.

Hearing Wang Tong's question, Lu Wancai, Wang Si, and Li Gui glanced at each other, and each reached out to take out a booklet in his arms, and Lu Wancai said softly:

"I didn't do anything else that day, I just copied a roster and came out."

Wang Tong smiled, walked into the bedroom and took out the blue roster and put it on the table, Lu Wancai clenched his fists, opened the roster and began to compare.

This time it wasn't as troublesome as last time, and after turning a few pages, I found the names that could be matched, and the names were found one by one, and the candles on the table were burned for most of the time, and the comparison was completed.

The officials and officials of the Shuntian Mansion, the small officers and soldiers of the five cities, a total of one hundred and thirty-five people, after the comparison was completed, they made a mark, but Wang Tong and Lu Wancai looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do for a while, and after a while, Wang Tongcai asked in a sullen voice:

"If you find these people, can you arrest them according to the list?"

"No name and no crime, how to take people, Brother Wang, don't say in the Jingshi that those who believe in this Laoshizi Sanyang Buddha are the White Lotus Sect and Maitreya Sect who believe in the lifeless old mother, and I don't know how many people there are, the Sanyang Sect is not considered to have violated the royal law, and the White Lotus and Maitreya have all rebelled, so no one has arrested them yet!"

Wang Tong patted his head a little irritably, knowing that this Sanyang Sect was harmful, but there was no reason to catch it, Wang Si interjected on the side:

"Lord Wang, these are just one, it's useless to catch them, but to startle the snake!"

"I also know, but if I don't grasp these things right now, I don't even have a place to start!"

Wang Tong's answer is already a little hard, this Sanyang Sect harbors evil intentions, and must be planning something big to harm people, in a small way, they sell people, set up a bureau to cheat money, and I don't know how many wives are scattered and ruined, but in front of their eyes, but there is no way to eradicate it, how not to be depressed.

Indeed, if you act rashly, it is inevitable to startle the snake, I am afraid that it will also provoke the black hand behind it, and then what you have to contend with is the government and even part of the power of the Ming Empire, even if you have the protection of the emperor, but the enemy is dark and I am clear, and safety is really not guaranteed.

Li Gui looked at Wang Tong's face was wrong, and hurriedly said:

"The generals who sent people to serve and the soldiers and horses division can always cover a few people, there must be more under these more than 100 people, I really want to touch it, if I can't punish the crime, I'm afraid the others will be gone."

Lu Wancai didn't know when he took out the folding fan again, shook it anxiously, and the candles on the table were swaying, light and dark, Lu Wancai said astringently:

"Whether it's He Jinyin or that Hu Daquan in the palace, I'm afraid these people just want to cut off the line and protect themselves, they think that we are investigating this case by mistake, and they haven't found out what is behind it, if it is really done with great fanfare, there is no crime, and the official Yushi in Beijing will find us trouble, not to mention those people hiding in the shadows, when the time comes, I don't say anything, I'm afraid this surname will be difficult to protect......"

Speaking of this, he stopped, looked at Wang Tong's expression, and then continued:

"We do want to investigate, but there must be something that can alarm the crime above, preferably something that can involve the palace......"

Speaking of this, Wang Tong slapped his slap and said in a lost voice:

"Why did you forget this, the second brother of the Tiger Sun in Jingjie should be on the losing side, and when the time comes, bring the Jiang Zhonggao from the palace, let's go and take a look together, so many people in the palace take money outside regularly, this is a big deal!!"

Chen Sibao didn't dare to go home since he suffered a loss in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, and he lost the battle with his soldiers, and he had to whip him after he went back.

Fortunately, he had a lot of other businesses in Xiangchengbo's mansion, and after saying hello to Chen Wu and others, he led a few friends to hide in a small mansion in Beicheng, first spent silver to invite Lang Zhong to treat his friends and subordinates, and then went to his brother to get five hundred taels of silver, preparing to hide in this small mansion for a few days.

Anyway, he also knew that his father and mother would not be ruthless and not let him go back, Chen Sibao and a group of people lived in this mansion, it was really like a punishment, he couldn't sit, he couldn't lie down, without him, the back was bruised and bruised, and the pain was terrible.

Suffering on the second day of the fifth month, it is about to reach the Dragon Boat Festival, and the noble family is said to have a family reunion on such a big festival, Xiao Tang and a few others went home after staying for a few days, but Chen Sibao did not dare to move.

But knowing that he couldn't go back, he would be scolded and beaten when he went back, and if he didn't go back during the holidays, he was afraid that he would be dealt with by the family law, so the helpless Second Young Master Chen had to send the chief back to the house to investigate the rumors.

As a result, he brought back good news, saying that Xiang Chengbo went to Zhuangzi outside the city to check, this is a great opportunity, Chen Sibao hurriedly ran back, he had caused trouble in the past, and first asked his mother for help, and he could always help himself intercede, but he returned to the Earl's Palace, but was told that his wife was invited to the palace by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother often chatted with the wives of the Xungui family about the shortcomings of the parents, which is also common sense, Chen Sibao stayed at home for less than half an hour, but heard that the old man was rushing back, and hurriedly ran back to the small mansion outside.

When he returned to the mansion, he was worried about what to do, and he didn't even have the heart to invite Xiao Tang to drink.

As a result, if you can't hide, you can't hide, and before it gets dark, the big housekeeper in the house came and said a word:

"The master asked the second young master to go back immediately!!"
