"I have sent my family back to my hometown in Tongzhou, Brother Wang, you and I are walking on the edge of the cliff now, be careful in everything!"

Now that the list has been recorded, Lu Wan said goodbye and left after dark, and said this sentence before leaving.

Wang Tong carried this list in his arms and went back with Sun Dahai, thinking about what Lu Wancai said before leaving, now it is unknown whether he is the enemy or the enemy, but the necessary precautions should be done.

Walking to the fork in the road, Wang Tong said to Sun Dahai:

"Dahai, you go and call Li Wenyuan and Li Hutou, let them hold weapons, and live with me in the future, Dahai, you and your brothers will also move to the newly bought mansion, if the money is not enough, just talk to me."

"After following the adults, the old and young in the family wear new clothes, eat white flour and fish, and there is no shortage of silver in their pockets, so it doesn't bother the adults."

Sun Dahai said with a smile, and hurriedly ran towards Li Wenyuan's house.

When I got home, I put this cage drawer on the table, covered it with a white cloth, and when I opened it, I saw a bowl of steamed pork, a few hot dough cakes, and a small pot of egg soup still exuding heat.

The main house was also cleaned, Wang Tong's own bedroom had to be locked when the people were not there, and there was a secret mark, but no one touched it, but the door panel was wiped like a mirror.

The boy lives by himself, and he can't clean up everything anyway, and there is always some clutter, but today it is neatly organized.

Ma Pozi and those servants are busy at the delicious restaurant every day, and they don't have any spare time to clean up, looking at the appearance here, Wang Tong can probably guess that it is the fruit of Zhang Hongying's labor.

After eating a few bites casually, Wang Tong opened the list under the lamp and looked at it, when Jiang Zhonggao said the name of the person, he even reported where he was on an errand, and no one was on the list of the three powerful yamen, the master of ceremonies, the internal official supervisor, and the imperial horse supervisor, and there was no one in the yamen with oil and water, such as the Shangyi supervisor, the Shangshan supervisor, and the Zhidian supervisor, and the rest of the yamen were either working hard, or specially arranging the eunuchs who were out of power, the old and weak, and there were many errands in these yamen on the list.

The palace supervisor is in charge of lighting candles and burning incense in exchange for offerings, and the governor is carrying a sedan chair and playing a flag, and this Huanyi Bureau is not even in the palace, so I really don't know what the point of arranging people here is.

What made Wang Tong feel dazzling was the War Bureau, this is the yamen in charge of weapons in the inner court, and the two yamen of Shang Baojian and Yin Shou Jian are both in charge of Yin Xin and Tiger Fu, these yamen are also key in a sense, these eunuchs are here, that is a scourge.

Opening the lock of the bedroom, Wang Tong turned out a confession in the mezzanine of the kang cabinet, which was the things that happened in his casino as the second brother of the tiger in Jingjie, what regularly had dealers come to lose money, eunuchs and guards came to win money, and there were Sun Laoer's handprints.

Maybe any of them are not worth anything, but if the two are put together, and the brain is a little more active, you will definitely be able to think of the mystery in it.

Wang Tong carefully folded the list, stuffed it into the envelope with Sun Laoer's confession, and put it into the mezzanine, which was the gap he had cut out on the wooden board with a dagger, and those who didn't know couldn't find it at all.

Then he stooped down and opened the bricks that were beside him, and took out the short firearm from the chest inside, and in the deerskin bags on one side were gunpowder and buckshot, as well as various tools.

For him, the best way to calm his mind right now is to wipe the firebolt, clean it from the inside out, then load it with ammunition to simulate fire, then dig out the ammunition and repeat the action.

Wang Tong thinks about it now, learning to make iron and weapons in a blacksmith shop in Macau is almost the happiest time in his life at present, at that time it was a mental study of things, and he had his father's care, there was like now, he was in a whirlpool, trembling, and did not relax in the slightest.

Practice makes perfect, almost instinctive, Wang Tong hung the unlit fire rope on the bird's beak clamp behind the gun, and then tamped the gunpowder with a strip and put in the lead pellet.

Everything was ready to stop, Wang Tong raised the fire gun with one hand and aimed it at the curtain of the main house, squinted his eyes and began to aim, pulled the trigger, the bird's beak clamp hung the fire rope and pressed down, the lid of the primer pool was turned open at the same time, and the end of the fire rope poked into the gunpowder, if the fire rope was ignited, then the fire gun should be activated.

This short gun is quite heavy, and if you raise one arm without a certain amount of training, you will soon be unable to hold on, but Wang Tong has practiced for so long that he can support it.

When he was aiming at the door curtain and getting distracted, someone outside raised his voice to report:

"My lord, Li Wenyuan is here with a tiger head."

Wang Tong shook his head, recovered from his trance, put the fire gun into the bedroom, and then went out to open the courtyard door, and when he went out, he saw Li Wenyuan's father and son each holding a spear, and Li Wenyuan still had a knife hanging from his waist.

"Just stay in the room opposite me, and live with Ma Sanbiao at night."

When he walked towards the house, Wang Tong arranged it, but when he said this, his footsteps stopped on the steps, and he was so used to it that he actually forgot that Ma Sanbiao did not come back tonight.

With his ability to be proficient in the outside of the city, it is just a matter of buying a Zhuangzi, even if he can't buy it, he should inquire about the market and understand, why it has been delayed until now.

"Tiger head, go to your grandmother Ma and see if your senior brother has come back!"

Li Hutou was excited to come to Wang Tong's side to sleep, and when he heard Wang Tong's instructions, he agreed happily, and ran over to call someone, there was a young woman on Ma Pozi's side, and he always had such and such inconveniences in the past, and there was no problem with a child like Li Hutou.

Not long after, Li Hutou came back, still holding a peach in his hand and eating it in a big gulp, and said vaguely:

"Grandma Ma said, he thought Brother Sanbiao was on the adult's side? Grandma Ma also said that if she didn't come back, she didn't have to worry about anything, Brother Sanbiao used to often live outside the city and not come back. ”

"Hurry up and go to the side room to prepare, the bedding and everything are in the kang cabinet, take it out and spread it."

Wang Tongtong patted Li Hutou's head with his hand, and when Li Hutou entered the house, Wang Tong's expression was serious and Li Wenyuan said:

"Brother Li, I haven't been at peace lately, so I'm more vigilant at night."

Li Wenyuan nodded, stretched out his hand and patted the waist knife on his waist, such a thoughtful character, I am afraid that he will already understand the truth when he comes to live with a blade, Wang Tong's heart is a little calmer, thinking about Ma Sanbiao, he couldn't help but say out loud:

"Right now, they are already on an errand under me, and they still do things by their surnames, and when they come back this time, they must let him know the rules."

Li Wenyuan smiled and said:

"The surname of the three standards has jumped off, and it hasn't been tempered much, and it will be good in a few days, what short weapons do you have in your hands?"

Li Wenyuan persuaded and asked this question again, Wang Tongtong patted his hand on the boot on his right, and Li Wenyuan said in a low voice:

"Put one under the pillow, and put another in the middle of the house where it is easy to reach and hidden, not everyone can get up and draw a knife."

Wang Tong nodded, maybe he was thinking too much, but the involvement was getting deeper and deeper, and he should always be on guard, and it was too late to wait for something to happen.

There was nothing to do this night, but when I got up in the middle of the night, I could clearly feel that Li Wenyuan was also alarmed, which made Wang Tong's mind more stable.

"These two documents record names and confessions, and these two documents alone cannot say that anything terrible happened, but I hope that the fathers-in-law in the palace can think deeply about why there are people outside the palace who regularly give money to the palace, and these people are not in important positions of power. ”

The next day, the palace gate of the imperial city opened, Wang Tong waited there early, and saw Zou Yi who was out of the palace as usual, and when only two people were in the house, Wang Tong clarified the stakes.

Zou Yi looked at the list carefully, and was also listening to Wang Tong's words, and when Wang Tong finished speaking, he raised his head and said with a wry smile:

"Few of you fathers-in-law can see this, I will go into the palace to see my godfather immediately, I'm afraid that my father-in-law can't be the master of this matter, so I have to let Gonggong Feng see it."

After speaking, he stood up and put away his smile, clasped his fists and said:

"Brother Wang, you have to be careful yourself, this matter is about to break out, I'm afraid it won't be so quiet."

"If it's just pressed like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be crushed in a few days, so I'm afraid I'll have to keep an eye on Brother Zou!"

Wang Tong also hugged his fists and sent each other, the two were already allies standing on the side, and they were not so polite, Zou Yi left in a hurry.

Zou Yi left, Wang Tong was quiet in the house for a while before walking out of the door, he didn't go today, the rules of life have changed, and he is always a little unaccustomed.

Wang Tong walked around the street, the people in the neighborhood said hello, Wang Tong nodded in response, almost couldn't take a step, now Wang Tong is the heaven on this street, it is not good to serve and worship.

Walk to the corner of the street, and then turn inward is the side street where the Juyi Fang is located, there is a small case at the corner of the street, a reclining chair, where a brocade guard under Sun Dahai sits, since the reopening of the Juyi Fang, no one dares to make trouble in the gambling house, and there is no blind messenger to copy.

Seeing Wang pass coming, the brocade guard hurriedly stood up and said hello, Wang Tong nodded, even if it was so early, he could still see the gamblers walking inside, it seemed that the business was indeed good.

I just wanted to go to the gambling house to have a look, but I heard someone greeting me from afar, and when I turned my head to look, it was Li Gui, the fast catcher of Shuntianfu, who rode over.

The horses ran very fast, Li Gui looked a little strange, Wang Tong waved his hand at the brocade guard, and walked to the other side to wait, Li Gui restrained the horse, dismounted and hurriedly ran over and said:

"Lord Wang, today a Zhuangzi outside the city sent someone to the Yamen to report the case, saying that he had caught a bandit who had done evil in their village, and asked us to send him to arrest him quickly.

Wang Tong raised his eyebrows, and Li Gui said as expected:

"The bandit's name is Ma Sanbiao......"
