Chapter 228: The Iron Box Back then
Wang Tong was in Tianjin, and although there was information provided by the original Tianjin Jinyiwei people, he still acted like a fool and a deaf person.
By dealing with this bow incense, Wang Tong also found that among the hundreds of brocade guards left, I am afraid that there are not a few who are really for themselves, otherwise, why no one told him about the rampant avenue gate like the bow incense.
The military preparation Dao Panda, the grain eunuch Wan Dao, and the civil and military officials of Tianjin Wei are almost all local snakes, and they have been here for many years, but they have nothing to tell themselves, as if they are sitting and watching their own jokes.
If you want to talk about the Tianjin Transshipment Division of the Ministry of Households, the officials over there are obviously biased towards the bow incense, and there are many things that can be played.
can pull out more than 100 trained men in the city at any time, equipped with weapons, and a courtyard stationed, as well as the "Uncle Cui" and Jin Laohan, the conversation and response are very measured, advance and retreat, at first glance, it is a long-term deal with the government, today I used violent means to subdue it, and I don't know how many pickled methods to deal with myself in the future.
Wang Tong didn't go fast on the way back, and he thought a little distracted on horseback, although the Tan family's general called Wang Tong a master, but this identity was a little special, and he usually let go.
At this time, everyone was making fun of Ma Sanbiao, just now at the door of Zhang Chunde's house, Ma Sanbiao's stupid and clumsy performance can be understood by a person.
Ma Sanbiao's surname is rude, and he talks with everyone without taboo, and this meat joke is also on his lips, but now he is red-faced and speechless.
Zhang Shiqiang and Tan Jiang looked at Wang Tong left and right, both looking at their own adults with heavy faces, not knowing what they were thinking, they were not as complicated as Wang Tong thought at this time, but they thought that their own adults were a little uncomfortable to see blood and kill people at close range, so Suo took the topic away and said:
"Master, you look at the embarrassed appearance of the three standards, it seems that you are tempted?"
When Tan Jiang said this, Wang Tong looked back and smiled, but Zhang Shiqiang pondered for a moment and said:
"My lord, Sanbiao is also at the age of starting a family, but the daughter of the old Zhang family is an old one, and she still has a little girl......"
Wang Tong waved his hand casually and said with a smile:
"It's good if you like the three standards, then Lao Zhang is afraid that he won't be able to live if he doesn't rely on us now, such people can rest assured, that woman has also come through ups and downs to this day, know to cherish, follow the three standards!"
The two people on the side were just going to divert the topic, but when they saw Wang Tong say this, they all laughed and laughed, and no longer made a sound, everyone understood that it didn't matter what Ma Sanbiao thought, it didn't matter what everyone thought, Ma Pozi nodded before it was done.
"Aunt Ma, can you bring me another bowl of mutton bone soup, the cold wind on the road is too heavy, and the bones are still stiff now. ”
When Wang Tong and the others returned to their residence, the messenger from Jingshi had already arrived, but it was an acquaintance, Wang Si, the head of the errand squad under Lu Wancai, the yamen of Shuntian Mansion.
Wang Si's face was pale, but his spirit was fine, with a leather bag beside him, he shrunk into a chair to drink hot soup, and wrapped in a quilt on his body.
Seeing Wang Tong enter the door, this Wang Si hurriedly wanted to stand up, Wang Tong walked two steps quickly and held down, and he could see that the leader of the errand squad had suffered a lot on the way, and said in a loud voice:
"It's all your own family, what's polite, just sit there and say it!"
Wang Si didn't dare to slack off, so he made a half-salute on the chair, put down the soup bowl and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen Lord Wang for a long time, I look much stronger than Jingshi, two days ago, Lord Lu ordered the small one to go out of the city, two people and six horses, this way in addition to eating grass at the post station, I have been changing horses and hurrying, and I sent it here in two days, my lord look at the button of this pocket, the silver wire rope on it is also lit with fire paint, it has not been opened, please check it."
After speaking, he respectfully picked up the pocket and handed it to Wang Tong, and the seal of the pocket was knotted as Wang Si said, and it was dripping with fire paint, and if it was opened, it would be discovered immediately.
Wang Tong took out the dagger on his waist, and was just about to pick up the bag, when Wang Si on the side coughed unnaturally, lowered his voice and said:
"Lord Wang, Lord Lu said over there, the contents of the bag are important, so don't let anyone be on the side when you open it."
Although the voice was lowered, everything that should have been heard in the room was heard, and everyone bowed down together, and Wang Tong took the bag and went to his room.
Although the pocket was large, it felt weightless when it was carried, and when I entered the house, I took a dagger and cut the silver wire rope, and there were not many things in it, six brown paper envelopes, and a small yellow cloth bag, which contained this boxy thing.
When the small pocket was opened, a black iron box was revealed, which at first glance looked inconspicuous, but on closer inspection it was unusual, the black surface was carved with moire, and the seams were so tight that the blade of the dagger could not be cut into.
A small brass lock fastened in front, a key was inserted into it, and a folded letter paper was in the yellow cloth pocket.
Expand it, it is very short, "Wang Aiqing wants to tell me everything, such a loyal I understand, in the future, I want to talk about big things and small feelings, I should know, write it out and put it in the iron box and lock it, and send someone to send it to the eunuch in charge of the Jingshi Delicious Museum, only saying that it is a special product of Tianjin Wei dedicated to me, and it is stored by someone, and this iron box lock has two keys, and I and Aiqing each have one hand." ”
Wang Tong read this letter several times, he has seen the words of Zhang Cheng and Zou Yi, this seems to be the handwriting of the little emperor of Wanli, knowing this handwriting will be good for him in the future.
The rest of the kraft envelopes contain quite interesting things, all of which are the ups and downs of various characters in Tianjin Wei, which can be regarded as several detailed files.
Wang Tong's sullenness when he came back from the bow incense side dissipated at this time, and with the power of the secret music, his advance and retreat were more calm, and he could understand these Tianjin snakes in detail, and he would judge more accurately when dealing with them.
Bingbei Dao Panda is a Jinshi in the forty-second year of Jiajing, and the ranking of the palace examination is quite high, and he was also selected into the Hanlin Academy.
Young people suddenly embarked on the road of Qingyun, the future is so brilliant, the natural mentality is different, and some fluttering do not know so it is inevitable.
When Longqing was four years old, Pan Da was already a Lang Zhong of a certain division of the Ministry of War, and they all said that there must be one of him in the position of the left and right servants of the Ministry of War, but there were unforeseen circumstances, that is, in the winter of this year, Panda was on the way home, his carriage and horse collided with the team of a nobleman in Beijing.
This noble man has no good temper, so he immediately scolded, and Panda is also young and vigorous, and consciously has a bright future, so he immediately confronted him.
In broad daylight, Panda was born as a jinshi and had stayed in the Hanlin Academy, but the noble man did not dare to do it on the street, and the two sides scolded each other for a while and then dispersed.
If the matter ends like this, it would be enough, and in order to curry favor with Panda, a few of Panda's fellow villagers actually wrote an article praising Panda in the Wenhui Poetry Society, saying that this Panda was iron-clad and not afraid of the powerful, and angrily denounced a nobleman on the street.
There is a trend in the Ming Dynasty, this civil official swept the face of nobles, eunuchs, and military generals, and the people didn't ask who was right and who was wrong, which directly meant that the civil officials did a reasonable job, and it must be other types of bullying people, so that the scribes from the imperial examination shook out their bones and promoted righteousness, not to mention that the people were like this, even the nobles, eunuchs and military generals thought like this.
Two days after the praise came out, the entire streets and alleys of Beijing knew this story, and it was also changed beyond recognition, what a noble person robbed a beautiful woman, was discovered by Master Pan, and was not afraid of the power and angrily reprimanded, and wanted to impeach or something, the noble man was soft, and the beauty was willing to face Yunyun.
and the storyteller made up a commentary and told it in teahouses and restaurants, and this Panda's limelight was really unique for a while.
Almost ten days later, the news reached Emperor Longqing, who had been a prince outside the palace for decades, and understood these ways very well, and after listening to the story in detail, he opened his mouth and commented with a smile:
"It's nothing more than a collision, both sides have big tempers, no matter who wants beauty in these two people, why bother to grab it, the matchmaker will break through the threshold."
The emperor laughed at it, and naturally no one pursued the fault of impeaching the nobleman, and the matter was investigated in detail, I am afraid that Panda's palanquin man was in a hurry and didn't see the way.
But this matter made the noble man angry, this is completely a disaster, not to mention the disgrace of these days, the mother-in-law and a few concubines in the family also fell out, and then they were seen by familiar companions, and they were also sneered.
Since the Son of Heaven has spoken and judged, then this noble man has nothing to do, and the next step is naturally to retaliate, this noble man's surname is Liu, his name is Shouyou, and he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard at that time, and now the Jinyi Guard is the commander.
With Jinyiwei, this Panda deducted military salaries during his tenure and received benefits from his fellow villagers was immediately found out, and everyone was doing this kind of thing, not only Panda alone, everyone just didn't say it by default, and if it came out, it would still be punished, and it would be dismissed immediately.
Ten years of cold windows, the title of the gold list, finally survived to this day, but because of a quarrel on the road, the future is gone, all the glory and wealth are gone, the resentment and regret in Panda's heart can be imagined, and everyone thinks that he is completely finished.
But at the beginning of the fifth year of Longqing, things took a turn for the better, Pan Da was sent to Laizhou Mansion to be a prefect, according to the six Lang Zhongfang to be a prefect, the grade did not change much, but the identity fell 108,000 zhang, there was a person who came out of the matter to participate in politics and cried miserably, not to mention this, but this is a glimmer of life in the career, and then in the position of the prefect came to Tianjin Bingbei Road, and did it today.
