Chapter 57: Staying true to your duty

Zou Yi was wearing a gray dark red robe, which was stained with dust, and he didn't look like a New Year, and as soon as he entered the door, he laughed and teased Wang Tong:

"Brother Wang is idle, look at my brother and me, after greeting the nobles and ancestors in the palace, I didn't even have a hot meal, so I rushed over and stared at it, made some of your delicious food, and also gave my brother me a cushion."

Zou Yi is such a quiet person who is so open, firstly, he is in a good mood, and secondly, he is also familiar with Wang Tong and is familiar with him. Seeing that the two people who came with Zou Yi were all low-eyebrowed, they should be low-grade eunuchs, so they don't have to care.

A few years ago, the widow Ma and the helper in the store prepared food for Wang Tong, who was alone, mainly because it was cold and not afraid of rotting, and it was hot in the pot when it was to eat.

In fact, there was no need for Wang Tong to be busy himself, the two entourages followed up to ask for clarification, and began to get busy, while Wang Tong went to accompany Zou Yi.

Zou Yi is shrewd, and he is also meticulous in looking at people, and he can see that Wang Tong is full of worries, and after sitting down, he chatted a few words, and Zou Yi asked about this.

Wang Tong naturally knew everything about this person, and after the description of 1510 was finished, he said with some worry at the end:

"Little brother, I just took over this patrol and investigation errand, and there is such a big thing on South Street, I don't know if I can find out."

Zou Yi has been listening carefully, but his face has not changed much, and when Wang Tong finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice:

"You and my own brother, for my brother has some words and does not shy away from it, at this time brother, your most important thing is to do a good job in this martial arts hall, this is related to your future glory and wealth, patrol and arrest, everyone understands in their hearts, it is just too many Jinyi pro-soldiers, find something to do, and the civil conviction of the case has to be managed by Shuntianfu, two have died in this New Year, and I don't know how much trouble is involved, so don't care."

When he arrived at the position of the internal official and the young eunuch, he didn't know how many treacherous things he had experienced, in terms of such official affairs and politics, even Wang Tong's two life experiences combined could not compare to him, and with a city like Zou Yi, it was a heart-wrenching truth to be able to say this to Wang Tong so unabashedly.

Wang Tong sat there with a changed expression, this martial arts hall was built to be close to the emperor, and with the participation of powerful eunuchs in the palace, whether he lived a wonderful life in this life, whether he was prosperous and rich can be said to be related to this.

The tragedy of Zhao's shopkeeper's house, just looking at the time of occurrence and the degree of poignancy, you know that it is not simple, and it involves all kinds of harm but no benefit.

Should I give up? Zhao Jinliang's sluggish and intimber expression appeared in Wang Tong's mind, and he only felt a twitch in his heart, what kind of beast did the Zhao family and the beauty of the Zhao family ruin their family, Wang Tong pondered for a while, slowly stood up, and said to Zou Yi in a deep voice:

"Brother Zou, what you just said is for the good of the younger brother, the younger brother remembers it, but my father also taught that if you do things on an errand in the future, what you should do must be completed without discount, the younger brother is patrolling and investigating on South Street, and the tragedy of the Zhao family is on South Street, this case must be investigated by the younger brother, give an explanation to the bitter master, and give himself an explanation."

After speaking, he hugged his fists and said to Zou Yi who was sitting in front of him:

"Brother Zou, don't be surprised, you sit down for a while, and I'll go to the bitter lord to ask for details."

Wang Tong has always been quite sophisticated, understands the principles of officialdom, and knows how to curry favor and avoid suspicion, but Zou Yi didn't expect Wang Tong to say such awe-inspiring words.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and picked up the rice bowl and said:

"You go get busy first, I'll close the door for you when I'm full."

After all, what he did was a bit rude, Wang Tong nodded apologetically and strode out of the door.

The two servants who were waiting for hot meals flashed into the house at this time, and one of them looked at Wang Tong's back and pouted, and said to Zou Yi:

"Who does he think he is?"

Zou Yi glanced at this person with a smile, took the skin of the chopsticks and froze it into his mouth, and swallowed it before saying leisurely:

"You know what, that's what it ...... to do great things"

The best performance in front of the boss is to do his own work, Wang Tong doesn't know if anyone is watching, but since he has the duty of patrolling and arresting and maintaining public order, no matter what trouble there is, he must find out, this is the most appreciated point of Wang Tong's previous life - loyalty to duty.

Only by doing this can you be worthy of yourself, the Zhao family, and yourself.

The Ma family's house is much narrower than Wang Tong's house, and the door is also open, Wang Tong walked straight in, entered the hall, but saw the Ma widow wiping her tears there, Ma Sanbiao's face on the side was not good-looking, there was a small half bowl of dumplings on the table, and bloody clothes were also placed aside.

It seems that Zhao Jinliang changed his clothes and ate something, and when he saw Wang Tong coming in, Ma Pozi wiped the corners of her eyes and said in an astringent voice:

"This kid has a hard life, it's only so ...... young"

He choked up and couldn't go on as he spoke, and Ma Sanbiao, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also became a little depressed, and said in a deep voice:

"That kid just now ate half a bowl of dumplings slowly, and then said that he didn't sleep well last night, and my mother took him to the back room to sleep, and the kid actually politely said thank you."

Wang Tong was also a little stunned, this is not very normal, but he immediately reacted, a child who saw the death of his father and mother actually behaved like this, which is obviously a great abnormality.

Seeing that there were many things, Ma Pozi got up and picked up the bowl, and said worriedly:

"This child is too sad, if he doesn't cry again, I'm afraid that something will go wrong with his brain, and the sky is pitiful, and the New Year's Eve will make such a ...... if he loses his conscience."

Halfway through his words, he heard a terrified scream coming from the inner room, and everyone in the house was startled, and Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao immediately rushed towards the house.

Just when Zhao Jinliang, who was still calm and quiet, hid in the corner of the kang in panic, curled up in a ball, and when he saw Wang Tong rushing in, he immediately cried hysterically, crying:

“…… My father is dead, and my mother is dead...... Mother, don't kill me......."

The words are intermittent and unorganized, but Wang Tong is also relieved, he has suffered a lot of disasters, and the fragile spirit of children is difficult to accept, if this extremely sad emotion cannot be vented, I am afraid that he will really end up with a crazy and stupid illness, and now this crying and shouting is a good thing.

Wang Tong hurriedly went up to comfort, although he was not a few years older than Zhao Jinliang, but in fact he was an adult mentality, where the comfort was good, and after a few words, Zhao Jinliang's crying was louder, and he couldn't stop.
