The officer who entered the door was just the identity of a captain of the brocade guard, to put it bluntly, he was an ordinary soldier at the most basic level, but he spoke so swaggering in front of two Beijing officials. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Sancai and Gu Xian's finished level is not high, but they have a grand reputation in Beijing, and they can enter and exit the mansions of cabinet bosses and six scholars, and high-ranking officials everywhere must be polite when they see them, although Gu Suli makes an approachable appearance, but he is very reserved in his heart.

Fang was talking about it happily, as if the world was in the palm of his hand, and he was suddenly reprimanded by a brocade-clothed guard who came in,! Time was stunned.

Words such as "keep your mouth shut" and "go to the street to beg for food" are not much different from slapping them in the face, let alone saying them with such a condescending attitude.

Gu Xiancheng reacted, his face suddenly turned red, he stood up from his seat, pointed at the captain with trembling hands, and said:

"Who are you!? Who told you to do this!? Say these!!? ”

The brocade-clothed guard sneered and said:

"The words are so clear, don't you understand, it's my lord Wang, the commander of Jinyiwei, who is the commander of the Tongzhi Wangtong, said it."

Such a straightforward answer made Gu Xiancheng stunned again, scholars are used to talking and thinking about things, and seeing the other party so fearless, he had to think about why.

The brocade guard didn't continue to entangle with him, and turned to Li Sancai, who was sitting there, and asked:

"Master Li, these two stewards are the descendants of your family!"

Although he didn't know why he asked this, Li Sancai still nodded subconsciously, and the captain of the brocade guard turned to the second steward who was a little panicked, and asked again:

"You've been to Tianjin Wei to see it, your eight shops are indeed closed! You went to every house and asked, didn't you? ”

The steward from Li Sancai's Tongzhou house also nodded, his face was full of irrepressible shock, thinking about how the other party knew about his actions, and the captain said to Li Sancai again:

"Empty white teeth, I'm afraid you don't believe it, your shop in Tianjin Wei has been closed, you believe it now!"

Li Sancai nodded indifferently, and the lieutenant spoke again:

"Do you know why your shop is closed?"

Li Sancai's face was gloomy, but he didn't say a word, and the captain said coldly:

"My family said, there is no gratuitous grudge in this world, you have been sparse several times, or instigated in tandem, which is not good for my family, and now my family is busy with official business, and I don't have time to worry about you, first close this shop and give a lesson, if you don't repent, my family will let your Li family not get a grain of salt, and you can't do a business!!"

Li Sancai's face became even more gloomy, but he didn't say a word to refute it, the Li family is rich, and there is an inextricable relationship with the private sale of official salt or the sale of private salt, and the previous time in Beijing attacked Wang Tong because of the matter of the Huwei Army, that is, because Wang Tong went to the Changlu Salt Farm to investigate the private salt.

Tianjin Wei's shops and salt business, this is the source of the Li family's money, and it is also the guarantee that he is now calling for wind and rain, and now the shop has been closed, if the line of private salt is strangled, then he will immediately go bankrupt, if he has no money and becomes a poor Beijing official, let alone others, it is difficult to say whether this Gu Xiancheng next to him will be good friends with him.

Besides, why is being an official, isn't it just for money, relying on money to be a bigger official, to gain greater power, and then relying on this powerful position to get more benefits for himself and his family, this is Li Sancai's purpose in life, but now Wang Tong directly sent someone to warn, but Li Sancai panicked.

The political arena is attacking Xu, the political competition is fighting, all of them are smiling on the surface, secretly stabbing knives, waving elbows, not to mention that it is the civil officials who scold the generals, the Ming generation, the civil ministers belittled and scolded the generals, this is a matter of course, no matter how uneven the generals are, they have to grit their teeth and bear it, the scolding is right, the civil officials have merit, the scolding is wrong, and there is a person who is not guilty.

No one thought that Wang Tong would be so neat, not telling you the slightest rules of officialdom, and directly tearing his face to warn him, which really caught this Li Sancai off guard.

He didn't stand up for fire like Gu Xiancheng, Li Sancai has been wondering if he has a chance to fight back, and he can even take this opportunity to make Wang Tong deflated, but no matter how he thinks about it, Li Sancai can't think of any way, Wang Tong can immediately let him go bankrupt and break his family, spit out all the money he earned, and even owe huge debts, as long as Wang Tong does this, he has no strength to fight back, and he will not turn over from now on.

"Please bring a reply to Lord Wang, Li never meant anything against Lord Wang, there may have been a misunderstanding in the past, and there will be no similar things in the future.

After being silent for a long time, Li Sancai opened his mouth and said slowly, his voice was a little astringent, Gu Xiancheng turned his head in shock, but saw that Li Sancai's face was gray, Fang Cai's wisdom bead was in his hand, and his spirit was completely gone.

"Oh? Can the little one bring the words of the adults to my family? ”

The captain asked again, a trace of anger flashed on Li Sancai's face, but he still nodded slowly, and the captain of the brocade guard bowed and saluted, and said:

"In this case, my family still has a few words to say to Lord Li, what Lord Li will do in the future, my family will observe words and deeds, if Lord Li wants to do something for my family, think about what kind of ability he has, think about whether it is useful to just rely on his mouth and write in the pen, and say goodbye!"

Speaking of this, he clenched his fists, then turned around and walked away, and there were also a few family members outside the door who were probing their brains, and when they saw the brocade guard come out, no one dared to rent it, and they all flashed aside.

The lights in the room were flickering, but Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng were sitting there, and the second steward on the ground even forgot to stand up and knelt there in a daze.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly, all the heat in the house is gone, close the door quickly!!"

In the end, it was Li Sancai who yelled outside, and the people who were at a loss hurriedly did it, and Li Sancai said coldly:

"Shut up today's events, if anyone spreads the word, they will be killed immediately, and the family will also be sent to Miyun to guard Zhuangzi!!"

The family members were silent, and hurriedly agreed, and when the door was closed, Li San let out a sigh of relief, and said to the second steward on the ground:

"You go back and tell the master that the shop over there will be open in a few days, so don't worry!"

The second steward Mu Mu let out an "oh", then reacted, and stared at Li Sancai in surprise, Li Sancai was a little tired and explained:

"Even if I can strangle this side over there, I want to fight to the death, he also has to be a little troublesome, since it is not a situation of not dying, then this time is just a warning, the store can still be opened, my father wants to ask, you just explain a few words according to this, if my father doesn't ask, you don't have to talk much, it's fine, stay one night and go back tomorrow!"

The second steward hurriedly got up and saluted, hurriedly walked out and closed the door, the door closed, and only Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng were left in the room, Gu Xiancheng stood up with an angry face, and shouted in a low voice:

"Wang Tong is arrogant and domineering to such a point, Brother Daofu, the younger brother will go to visit and ask for help everywhere in the Beijing Division, what is useless to say and write, then let this arrogant man see what it means to criticize and write, let him know that the Jingshi Qing Yi can also kill people, Brother Daofu, let this Wang Tong step on it, if tonight's incident spreads, how can you and I gain a foothold in the Beijing Division."

Li Sancai didn't have any expression on his face, he just raised his eyes and swept down Gu Xiancheng, and said indifferently:

"It's in the inner house, how can it be spread out, you and I fight to the death with Wang Tong, if Your Majesty protects you, the matter will be over, and you will go bankrupt for your brother afterwards, what else can you do at that time, do you think that without the reputation of fighting righteousness and squandering money, and making friends all over the world, how many people will be friendly with us?"

Hearing Li Sancai say this, Gu Xiancheng was also speechless, and only then did he speak in a low voice when he waited for others to go out, and Gu Xiancheng was just making a gesture, that is, after seeing his posture, Li Sancai said such a truth.

"Brother Daofu, if you don't touch Wang Tong, then you and I ......."

After being silent for a long time, Gu Xiancheng asked again, Li Sancai grabbed a tea bowl in his hand, tapped it on the table a few times, threw it out, smashed it, took a deep breath again, and said in a muffled voice:

"There is always a place for us to do things, in the court, Shen Shixing and Zhang Xueyan are in important positions, but they are not Zhang Siwei's friends......"

…………

The incident in Li Sancai's mansion did not spread, and no one in Jingshi knew about it, but Xu Guangguo appeared, and the Jingshi Qingliu, who was originally about to move, suddenly quieted down.

On that day, more than 30 Qingliu were punished for the crime of bullying the king, although they were frightened and vigilant, but it also aroused their thoughts of the same enemy, as long as someone instigated it, it would cause an uproar, but they did not expect that the undercurrent undercurrent would be so silent and calm for a few days.

In the north of the Beijing Division, less than three miles away from the city wall, there is the Zhuangzi newly purchased by the Chen family of Xiangcheng Bo, which occupies a very large area, and was used to raise cattle and horses in the past, but on the ninth and tenth days of the first month of February, the Chen family arranged for people to use horses to pull the mill to press the ground of the Zhuangzi again, and the places that can be leveled are leveled, but if it is so tossed, the grass will not grow well, and the old style on the Zhuangzi is scolded while doing it, saying that it is a good place.

Early in the morning of February 12, the city gate was just opened, Wang Tong led the guards out of the city, and came to this Zhuangzi, a wooden platform was erected on the west side of the Zhuangzi grassland, and Chen Sibao, who is now a guerrilla in Beijing, waited here early, and prepared dry food and soup on the Zhuangzi, and first entertained Wang Tong for breakfast.

The sun was a little higher, and the people of the brocade guards began to arrive......
