Compared with the tattered Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office, the scale of this military preparation road yamen is much larger, with high walls and deep courtyards, black tiles and red doors, and it looks solemn everywhere.

In a certain place, they only need to be responsible for the local general army, and they have a lot of management and no constraints, and they have a lot of power.

In this place of Tianjin's three guards, the hub of Caoyun, the distribution and transfer of grain and grass from all over the country to Jizhen, Liaozhen, and even part of the needs of Jingying and Xuanfu, the power and responsibility of the military preparation and the yamen are also extremely heavy among similar yamen.

Pan Da held this position as the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Department, and he was a class of the four grades, and in this place of Tianjin Sanwei, it can be called a masterpiece.

According to Wang Tong's understanding, on the side of the Beijing Division, the military salary is nominally issued by the Ministry of War, but in fact it is just a formality, and often the people who have experienced the department go directly to the household department to get the silver.

I don't know how the other provinces are outside, but in this land of Tianjin, it is specially issued by the military preparation road, which is a big trouble.

This morning, Tianjin Jinyi Guard, these soldiers all came to the door with tools, Wang Tong simply assigned, let them clean up by themselves, everyone is very obedient, after yesterday's rubbing, Wang Tong's prestige has been initially established, no one dares to be disobedient.

I asked Hangqiao, and I probably learned to what extent the arrears had been, for three years, a total of seven months of military salaries were paid, and when Hangzhou Bridge said why it was said for a few more months, it was nothing more than to deceive Wang Tong that there was not much money, so let this little adult take the silver out and send it out.

What's even more helpless is that in the past seven months, it was still according to the head, originally Wang Damin took office, and after three months of arrears, he pondered the dismissal of most of them, leaving a small part of the empty quota to earn money, but I didn't expect that the soldier Dao Panda came to check the soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and how much.

And then it's a constant deduction of arrears, you can't take advantage of the loopholes, the poor can't get by, and the poor people will gradually disperse to find another way to live, and there are fewer and fewer Jinyi guards, and the silver issued is getting less and less, and the evil surname is circulating.

Anyone can hear that the affairs of the official family can be done to such a point, it is no longer a matter of doing things, but it is a matter of embarrassment, but if you ask the people of Hangdaqiao why, no one can say why.

Dealing with such high-ranking civil officials who hold real power, Wang Tong and others all know the trouble, and Wang Tong, the other party on duty who Zhang Shiqiang just cleaned out, suggested:

"My lord, isn't the capital going to allocate tens of thousands of taels of silver to us every year, otherwise how about we use this money to pay the people below first?"

Of course, Wang Tong would not agree to this plan, shook his head and said:

"The special fund is earmarked, the silver in the capital is of other uses, everyone is on an errand for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, if this silver is taken out privately, and it is charged with buying people's hearts with bad intentions, you can't tell it clearly."

Zhang Shiqiang stopped talking a little ashamedly, Wang Tong waved his hand and continued:

"To the Ming Dynasty and the emperor on an errand, the Ministry of War will pay the silver, this soldier is just an official who forwards on his behalf, but he is so deductive and procrastinating, and he is doing official business, he must figure out this matter."

Wang Tong said it simply, but he knew in his heart that this matter was difficult to handle, and this kind of official money exchange was the most entangled, and he didn't know what link he would be embarrassed in. In that life, when he went to collect money, he was anxious every time, even for private clients, not to mention the trouble of this public family.

Helpless to be helpless, embarrassed to be embarrassed, but Wang Tong still has to do it, he also feels that on the territory of Tianjin Sanwei, the influence of Panda is everywhere, and he must deal with Panda what he wants to do.

Sure enough, it was very difficult to deal with, and the guards at the gate of the Yamen of Bingbei Road saw Wang Tong's group of people wearing brocade robes coming over, and their faces immediately fell.

According to the rules of officialdom, Sun Dahai first handed a greeting post to a leader dressed as a small flag at the door, and asked him to pass it on, according to the etiquette of officialdom, the leader of the guards should take it with both hands, and then say a kind word of kindness, turn around and send it to the post.

Unexpectedly, this Xiaoqi held the post with one hand, didn't even look at it, and muttered in his mouth:

"Grandpa doesn't know how to read, what are you doing with this post?"

"My adults are not here, please change your name and come again!"

This Xiaoqi said casually, seeing that the other party was so rude, Sun Dahai was already a little angry, and was about to step forward to put it right, but was pulled by General Tan behind him.

Wang Tong looked at both sides of the gate of the official office, pointed to a team of chariots and horses on the side, and said:

"Your family is not here, who is receiving this team of carriages and horses?"

Where this yamen is located, there is a special open space for the carriages and horses to stop, and the chauffeur and his entourage rest, and the team of chariots and horses on the side does not seem to know that it is the nobleman, quite magnificent and luxurious, and a large group of porters and entourage are talking and laughing in the tea shed.

If it is a local yamen, there are always officials who are the chief and deputy, and the chief hand is not there, and there are deputies who come forward to receive them, but there is only one deputy envoy who holds this position.

Officialdom reception, the most important thing is to pay attention to status, the team of carriages and horses outside the door related nobles come to worship, and only this soldier Panda alone has the identity reception, if Panda is not there, then this nobleman does not need to wait.

Wang Tong's statement was broken, and the old Xiaoqi blushed, and said forcefully with his neck:

"My lord is receiving distinguished guests, and I don't want others to disturb me, so you can come back again!"

"Let's change it again, tomorrow is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and all the yamen in Tianjin are closed for the New Year, the official has official business to see, please pass it on to my brother!!"

"This adult, didn't you make it clear, I don't want others to disturb me, don't let the little one be embarrassed, please go back, please go back!"

The little flag was lying in front of the door, and when he said this, he did not have the slightest expression of apology and caution on his face, but a look of impatience.

The coachman's entourage sitting in the tea shed on the side, as well as the guards in front of the official office, all had snickering on their faces, and they were even more bold to point at them.

Ma Sanbiao, Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang and others who followed behind Wang Tong did not look good, and even Tan Jiang unnaturally cleared his throat.

The situation was a little awkward, perhaps it was the smile and guidance on the side that made this little flag come to his senses, and he said teasingly:

"This adult is new to Tianjin, I don't know the habits of my family, it's cold and windy, don't delay here, let's go back early!"

"Tomorrow, Master Pan is not here, please report it, there is indeed something important to discuss."

The little flag waved his hand and said impatiently:

"My family doesn't see Jinyiwei, don't bother with this effort......"

After saying half a sentence, there was a crisp sound, and Wang Tong walked up to him and slapped him hard, not so much a slap, but a fist thrown in his face by picking up his arm.

This little flag was directly hit, Wang Tong kicked him down the steps, and said:

"What are you, and here you look like a dog, Lao Tzu is here to talk about official business, delaying official business, and you can afford it?"

Fang was still watching the excitement, and suddenly this brocade guard Qianhu actually started to beat people, and the doorman who stayed in the door suddenly became anxious, and opened his arms to stop in the door, and shouted:

"This lord, this is a military preparation yamen, you can't break in......"

After saying half a sentence, Wang Tong kicked the lower abdomen, and the whole person made a rolling gourd and rolled down the steps in the courtyard.

After hearing the sentence "My family doesn't see Jinyiwei", Wang Tong gave up the possibility of entering the door amicably, since this Lord Pan is clearly the neck of Kajinyiwei, there is no need to pay attention to the rules of officialdom.

Originally, inside and outside the gate, a group of subordinates and soldiers were all watching the excitement, but they didn't expect that this side would suddenly make a move, and they were about to break in.

The group of people in the tea shed had nothing to do with themselves, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, so they immediately stood up excitedly and surrounded them, and these guards and soldiers at the gate of the military garrison official office, the subordinates of one door and two doors were all in a hurry.

Wang Tongcai passed the main gate, and before he turned the wall, more than a dozen people had already surrounded him, and Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang and the others did not react in time just now, and they were separated by both sides at once and couldn't keep up in a hurry.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Wang Tong was not afraid, and said with a sneer:

"Have you seen Grandpa's official uniform clearly? Do you know the brand on Grandpa's waist? Grandpa is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, what are you guys, get out of the way of grandpa!! ”

Bingbei Dao Panda is a positive fourth grade, there is indeed no one who is bigger than Wang Tong in this official office, and he has not been killed with the intention of offending the official, and it is not uncommon to kill his head, in the past, those officials of the brocade guard came to the door of the official office and whispered, who would have thought that this half-grown child was so fierce.

At the slightest point out of this official rank gap, those soldiers hesitated, thinking that they were just underground errands, why should they offend this official, but then they thought about it, their own adults had strict orders, and if they were put in like this, they would suffer some crimes.

After a little hesitation, Wang Tong took out the embroidered spring knife and raised it high, and pulled it down suddenly, so frightened that the soul of the person opposite him was scattered, and it was too late to hide, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.

"Slap", the man covered his face and screamed after he fell to the ground, but the knife turned into a slap halfway, after all, it was a steel family, and the slap on the face immediately hit the black and purple cheeks, Wang Tong looked around with a cold face, and said in a cruel voice:

"Rabbit cub, you really dare to stop in front of grandpa, whoever comes up again, grandpa will be cut!!"

It's just an errand, why bother with your life, look at the fierce appearance of this young master, if you step forward to stop it, you will really be hacked to death, or die in vain.

Wang Tong glanced left and right a few times, and all he saw was shrinking his head and hurriedly dodging away, Wang Tong returned the knife into the sheath, and strode towards the main hall, the road to ask for salary is really difficult!
