Under Miki, there is no end to words.

The so-called three woods are the collective name of all the torture instruments in the yamen, such as sticks, boards, wooden donkeys, etc., which normal people can't stand at all.

After Wang Tong arranged the rotation guard in the city at night, Ma Pozi sent dinner to him, and all the people who were found out confessed.

The reason why Pu Quan chose the vicinity of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu official office as a den, first, came to the dirty and messy place over there, and the officials were reluctant to set foot in it, and secondly, even Wang Tong did not come to the Jinyi Wei official office, not to mention that it was still the location of Jinyiwei, which meant that it was a bit dark under the light.

Originally, the talisman worn by the Sanyang Sect was discovered, and this matter would definitely not be so simple in Wang Tong's mind, but as soon as the results of the interrogation came out, it was found that it was not too complicated.

There is a secret in the bow incense that is not a secret, and almost the core incense people know it, that is, although it claims to be in charge of the five incense heads, it is a big incense head who really speaks to the heart.

In the past, the head incense was just a gang of coolies on the dock, and the reason why it could develop to such a scale was all the result of the great incense head's planning.

The rest of them are either old or have many apprentices, but only this Jin Doucang has no roots and no foundation because he came from Goryeo, and he relied on his desperate loyalty and shameless flattery to climb up.

It is precisely because of this rootless and baseless that he has the trust of the big incense head, and he is the first incense head in the bow incense, and he is often in charge.

The biggest source of wealth for the bow incense is the loading and unloading on the Haihe River, and the cost of loading and unloading is higher than the tax drawn by Wang Tong today, not to mention that a few incense heads and big incense heads also make a fortune doing business with those sea boats.

After Wang Tong set up the fort, he smashed the incense burner inside and outside the city to collect peace money, which was equivalent to blocking the fortune of the bow incense from all sides.

In fact, it also cut off the financial route of incense and big incense, and there were still Japanese pirates on sea ships, and mercury, deer skins, oxtail medicines, and poplin were sold to the Japanese in trade.

The leaders of the group are all unable to get rid of the crime of being a collaborator, the big crime of killing the head, stealing the family and destroying the family, cutting off the way to wealth, and hurting the life of the surname.

Da Xiangtou and several incense heads dodged, but Da Xiangtou took out more than 5,000 taels of silver and sent dozens of people to help.

If tens of thousands of people really make a fuss in the local government, the court will not consider what is right and wrong, and the person who is directly in charge of this matter will definitely step down, and those who have no background will be questioned.

After all, the place is unstable, and if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, this is also because you are incapable, or you have done something to evil the people, and the common people are as docile as sheep, and you have caused chaos, which shows that you are at fault.

Chuantou Xiang has an accurate grasp of the things in the officialdom, and they are ready to use this to force Wang Tong to step down.

What others don't know is that Pu Quan, as Jin Doucang's henchman, also arranged more than a dozen assassins, and if Wang Tong showed his head, he would take advantage of the chaos to take his surname.

From beginning to end, Ma Dafu's death gave them a chance to get started, of course, if there was no such thing, maybe there would be Niu Dafu, Yang Dafu or something, they didn't die in a hurry, Pu Quan They would also take the initiative to help with this, and take the opportunity of the funeral to stir up the incense crowd that was about to disperse.

Sha Erbao has long entered their sight, and many of the incense people at the bottom are the same as Sha Erbao, making a lot of money in the bow incense, but most of them are taken, and the money they get is no different from the sporadic work outside.

Without the incense on the bow, so many jobs can be done by the canal and the sea and river, maybe they will earn more than before, and people like Sha Erbao will not die a few, and they will not arouse any resentment and anger at all.

Moreover, there are many people in and out of the shack by the canal, and it is difficult for anyone to pay attention to what to do.

Originally, the brocade-clothed guards led by Wang Tong were fierce and abnormal, and they had already scared everyone, and no one could afford to resist, so they were ready to do things honestly.

But as soon as Sha Erbao died, and then the leaders who took the silver began to walk the streets and alleys in tandem to instigate, this is because Jinyiwei did not give us the incense people a way to live or something, and they were forced to a dead end, and the rabbits were also going to bite, and they were forced to this part, and the incense people on the bow of the boat were angry and angry.

At this point, as long as someone comes forward and someone makes a demonstration, everyone will follow.

The incense crowd followed the commotion, and some of the leaders were indeed used to being arrogant, and suddenly they were beaten to the bottom, and they were very resentful in their hearts, and they had money to take, so they were naturally willing to incite trouble, they thought simply, as long as this unreasonable Wang Tong was coaxed down, everyone would have a good time.

As for Pu Quan and the others, the more than 5,000 taels are just outward expenses, and Da Xiangtou also made another wish for them, and after the matter was over, they passed it on and left, and Da Xiangtou arranged a house and field for them in Jiangnan, and let them go there to enjoy it for a few years.

No one thought that the secret they thought was planned, Wang Tong's side did a more thorough job, introduced people into the city, and then closed the city gate, and actually made a situation of catching turtles in an urn.

As for the matter of the Sanyang Sect, Pu Quan didn't say much, nothing more than to say that if he wants to mix well in the bow of the boat, he must worship under the door of Jin Doucang, and Jin Doucang thinks that this person is good, so he will lead him to believe in this Sanyang Sect.

Everyone believes in God for the sake of benefit, since joining this Three Yang Sect has improved their status, then why not do it, no one has refused.

Pu Quan knows that there are dozens of people who believe in this, but now there are more than a dozen leaders who are believers, and many people who believe in it have moved their families and don't know where to go.

This confession is nothing more than a confirmation of some things predicted and judged by Wang Tong, and there is not much valuable information that Wang Tong needs.

Even the big incense head is the big owner of the sea store, Chai Fulin, Wang Tong is not surprised, the scale of the head of the incense, the several places occupied, the interests of the profit, are closely related to business, only the head of the incense can not get much benefit in it, only the big merchants who specialize in trade and trading can make a fortune in it.

Wang Tong's initial conjecture was also on the three firms of Tonghai, Yongsheng and Jinhe, and now Jinhe's shop in Tianjin Wei was flattened by Wang Tong, and the big proprietor of Tonghai has long been missing, Yongsheng is Taiping doing business, but it has been in Tianjin Acropolis for so long, it doesn't matter what is impossible, it is nothing more than the depth.

*********

"After Pu Quan and the other thieves recorded their confessions, they were imprisoned, and the battalions should not be in a hurry to rest, according to their confessions, clean up the city again, and arrest all the people who buried the incense on the bow of the boat."

The food in front of Wang Tong had cooled down, and he still didn't move, and after listening to the confession relayed by Sun Dahai, he ordered there to give an order, and Tan Bing went out to arrange after saluting.

Zhang Shiqiang reminded in a low voice on the side:

"Gao Tongzhi's ...... over there"

Wang Tong nodded, and said again:

"The sea, find someone to keep an eye on the Qing Army Hall, and today I followed the arrest and criminal master who handled the case together, and the red envelopes of ten taels to twenty taels per person were all stayed, saying that they were handling the case overnight!"

Sun Dahai also hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and hurriedly walked outside, Wang Tong exhaled and sat on the chair, Ma Sanbiao and Li Hutou were standing aside, Yang Sichen and Cai Nan were sitting.

"Sanbiao, Tiger Head, you go to eat some food first, and then each person will receive a hundred households, and take turns on duty at night, so you can't relax in the slightest."

Ma Sanbiao is already accustomed to the style of a soldier, Li Hutou also made a military salute, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"It's hard today, and you can't be idle at night, you two eat first, and you have to watch it tonight."

"What's the hard work, it's not like I haven't eaten a bite of food until now!"

Ma Sanbiao said with a big grin, Li Hutou came directly to Lizheng, and said crisply, "It's not hard", Wang Tong laughed, pointed to the things on the table and said:

"Let's go to the hot first."

Zhang Shiqiang hurriedly went outside to arrange, the battalion officers and hundreds of households in the first battalion were all Wang Tong's former family members, and they were also reassuring people, but today they did such a big thing during the day, and there were more than 6,000 captives in the city, although they were locked up, but if they took advantage of the chaos at night, it would also be troublesome, and Wang Tong's mansion was the most important place, so it was natural to use the most reassuring cronies to take charge.

Yang Sichen and Cai Nan were a little embarrassed over there, Bai Yueli heard the trouble outside, and the two of them were the most panicked, and it was the two of them who proposed to appease, but they didn't expect the matter to be solved like this.

Wang Tong also saw the embarrassment and uneasiness of these two people, and said with a smile:

"A few days ago, there was a head in the bow of the boat to come to inform, in order to be safe, the maids in this house may not be reliable, so only the official knows, and the others are just obeying the dispatch."

explained two sentences, since Wang Tong explained out loud, this face has been given enough, and the two of them were worried that Wang Tong would blame or look down on him because of this matter, and now the knot in his heart has been untied.

Wang Tong's face became serious, and he said solemnly:

"Bai Yueli relied on our knife handles to quell the chaos, but this matter is not over yet, and you still have to rely on your pen to fight and fight, you two will go to the cell now, the confessions of those people, the evidence found by the official, how to describe him as a big conspiracy with deliberate intentions, write it as if he doesn't kill today, he will cause the bane of great harm, and write today's behavior into an article that is conducive to the Ming Dynasty and the country, loyalty and patriotism, but it depends on the two of you."

The meaning is very clear, and what they said is also direct, hearing that they are useful, the two of them are really relieved, and quickly got up and said:

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates (students) will go."

When Cai Nan was about to go out, he reminded him out loud:

"My lord, more than 6,000 mouths are a few hundred taels of silver a day, and other expenses are even more, we are short of money now, adults think twice."

"Don't worry, it's not for nothing!"

Wang Tong replied with a smile.
