Everyone in the house is the core of the Tianjin Weiwangtong system, Zhang Shiqiang stayed behind to run errands, after Lord Wang's triumphant return, Zhang Shiqiang went to Beijing to do business, everyone knows this, but what errands to do, but everyone is not clear.

But when everyone saw that Lord Wang's face was gloomy, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere in the room immediately became heavy, and after a moment of silence, Wang Tong waved his hand and said:

"Let's go on errands"

Although Cai Nan is a prisoner, and his official status is on par with Wang Tong, the rule on Tianjin Wei's side is that Wang Tong is the biggest, and everyone stands up and resigns.

Zhang Shiqiang walked into the house, put down the burden in his hand, and gave Wang Tong a salute first.

"The result?"

"When the lord came out of the iron gate, his subordinates had already asked the chief envoy in the mouth of Zhang Quan, the leader of the thieves, but what he said was too terrifying, and his subordinates drew Zhang Quan's shadow graphics in order to be safe, and specially went to the Qin Pavilion to visit and confirm the Song girl, and got the exact news, so he hurriedly came back to report."

Zhang Shiqiang has always been silent and safe, he attaches so much importance to it, of course the matter will not be small, Wang Tong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Shiqiang, and said:

"You shouldn't even drink saliva when you come back, moisten your throat first"

Zhang Shiqiang took it with both hands, drank it all in one go, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, my lord, my subordinates are really thirsty, after my subordinates asked the confession of the thief Zhang Quan, they arranged for the soldiers and Jinyi Wei to be on duty, no one is allowed to have a warrant from adults and subordinates, Zhang Quan must not be interrogated, and there must be more than three people to accompany the delivery of food and water to clean the cell, and Zhang Quan must not talk, the people on the other side of the cell belong to the three places of Jinyiwei, Tianjin Division and Huwei Army, and monitor each other.

Zhang Shiqiang put down the teacup, untied the burden, took out a stack of papers, unfolded it, handed it to Wang Tong, and said:

"This is a portrait of Zhang Quan, after getting it to the Qin Pavilion, please ask Miss Song to find someone to ask the steward of Zhang Siwei's mansion to confirm that this person's confession is correct, Zhang Siwei's mansion said that this person eloped with a maid with a sum of money in the mansion, and it was regarded as a scandal up and down, and he was sealed to prevent outsiders from knowing."

Wang Tong nodded and said in a solemn voice:

"He said it was Zhang Siwei who instructed him?"

"Yes, the confession is like this, and his subordinates threatened him with his family, and he obviously couldn't support it at that time."

"Yang Sichen once told me that Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, was instigated by someone in the house in Zhang Juzheng's discussion of winning love, and then made a big mistake and returned to his hometown, and Yang Sichen was also tempted by Zhang Siwei to do something that seemed to be beneficial but was actually harmful, so it can be seen that Zhang Siwei did such a thing by accident."

Wang Tong analyzed in a deep voice, Zhang Shiqiang stood aside with his hands down and listened, and Wang Tong continued:

"The Qingke in Zhang Han's mansion was sent to Changlu Salt Farm to do experience, but he died violently at home the year before last, and he thought he was hanged himself, if you think about it from this Zhang Quan, it is not good that Zhang Siwei sent someone to kill him, the salt field is so fat and lacking, and he is comfortable there, who would have thought of death."

"My lord, at that time, Zhang Siwei was already a member of the cabinet and a secretary of the military department, why did he still do such a thing?"

"I just want to be a bigger official, Zhang Han was a secretary of the ministry and a scholar of the cabinet at that time, and his weight was second only to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei would go one more if he overthrew him, as for Shen Shixing, he and Shen Shixing are Zhang Juzheng's cronies, who can have a higher status, who can not make mistakes, will do a more stable job in the position of the second assistant, and will become the number one person who inherits Zhang Juzheng's power, now...... This official has made great contributions, and he is a close confidant of His Majesty, after entering Beijing, he will inevitably be in power, which will affect their dictatorship and manipulate the government. ”

After Wang Tong finished speaking, Zhang Shiqiang was a little anxious, and said:

"My lord, what should I do? This assassination failed, even if the sue side has a way to deny it, but since they have done it, we don't know what means there will be in the future, can we just be harmed by him all the time?"

Wang Tong didn't say anything, and Zhang Shiqiang said again:

"This Siwei is now a cabinet assistant, if it is targeted everywhere, even if you have Your Majesty's cronies, I am afraid you will not be able to resist it, so let's sue and let Gonggong Zhang report to His Majesty over there......"

Zhang Shiqiang said halfway, Wang Tong raised his hand to stop, and said in a deep voice:

"You also know that Zhang Siwei's mansion said that Zhang Quan took the money and ran away, maybe they are still reporting the case in Shuntianfu, let's do this, but is there any hard evidence? It will inevitably be entangled, and now the Queen Mother and Feng Bao have to rely on this Zhang Siwei to control the court, will they easily see Zhang Siwei fall, sue it, I am afraid that they will first convict the official of framing the important minister, and it will be useless to do anything at that time."

"My lord, if you don't do anything, you're going to die."

"Whoever said that they wouldn't do anything....... you go down and rest first, let me think about it"

Zhang Shiqiang, who was a little excited, was stopped by Wang Tong, Wang Tong asked Zhang Shiqiang to retreat, and let him take the door with him, and stayed in the house alone.

Staying alone in the house alone, not letting others disturb it, such a thing is quite rare for Wang Tong, and the people close to him know that Wang Tong likes to work together the most, and then choose the best opinion, in the current situation, what kind of problems have been encountered, and it is like this.

After lunch, he closed the door and was alone, and the door of the house was opened when it was almost dark, but he arranged for someone to go to the barracks to call Li Hutou over, and let Zhang Shiqiang lead Wu Er to wait in the front hall.

Li Hutou is now the regiment commander of the first regiment of the Huwei Army, and there are many training and garrison affairs every day, so he has to arrange supervision one by one, and stay in the barracks all day, but the barracks are also very close to Wang Tong's house.

Entering the house, the weather is still hot today, but Wang Tong still closed the door of the house, only two people were in the house, and before Li Hutou asked, Wang Tong spoke first:

"The assassination we encountered at the inn, the second group of people is the remnants of the Sanyang Sect, and the identity of the first group of people has also been identified?"

Li Hutou was also a witness to that battle, and he also knew about the remnants of the Sanyang Sect, but the identity of the first group of assassins was not clear, Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang also did a good job of keeping secrets, as soon as he heard this, Li Hutou's eyes immediately widened, and he also knew that although this first group of people claimed to be the Sanyang Sect, they were definitely not a group.

"It's the killer sent by the current cabinet assistant Zhang Siwei."

Wang Tong said plainly, but Li Hutou almost screamed in surprise, stood up and asked repeatedly:

"Big brother, this Siwei has nothing to do with us, why did you send someone to kill us"

Wang Tong shook his head, explained in a deep voice, and finally said the truth:

“…… I entered the Beijing Division, do you think the emperor will believe me more, or believe in other people more...... If there is me, they are bound and cannot be happy everywhere, and if there is no me, they will naturally do whatever they want......"

"Big brother, everyone knows these things you do, which one is not for the emperor, which one is not for our good Ming, why do these people still treat the eldest brother like this, big brother, play the emperor, let him call the shots for us."

Among the generals of Tianjin Wei, these martial arts halls from the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion are especially so, thinking that Emperor Wanli is his own family, what grievances he encounters, what disasters he encounters, he can let Emperor Wanli call the shots, Wang Tong shook his head and sighed, and said what he explained to Zhang Shiqiang again in the morning.

Li Hutou is fifteen years old this year, although he is young, he has done more and listened more in the past few years, and his knowledge is also extraordinary, and he was stunned when he heard Wang Tong's explanation, and he knew that he really couldn't do anything, but he still couldn't help asking:

"Big brother, can you let him be like this, if he is silent this time, he will not stop, not to mention that the other party is the assistant of the court, condescending, we will always have a day when we can't resist."

Wang Tong looked at Li Hutou, silently half a sound, and said in a deep voice:

"I won't let him be like this, Zhang Siwei will be like this to us, and he won't be loyal to the emperor, let him collude with the palace, and the emperor will also be suppressed and aggrieved, this matter needs you to do......"

The words were intermittent and hesitant, and when he heard the end, Li Hutou stood up from his chair and said solemnly:

"What do you need to do, please ask the eldest brother to tell me, and I will definitely do it when I go to the soup."

At the beginning of August, Li Hutou, the head of the first regiment of the Huwei Army, had a cold and was taken to the manor in Wang Tong's countryside to recuperate, Zhang Shiqiang went to Beijing to run an errand, and Wu Er, a personal guard under Wang Tong, also returned to his hometown to visit relatives.

As soon as the news of Li Hu's head was cold, Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu and the officials of the Tianjin Qing Military Department screened Tianjin Wei with the cooperation of the security army.

The inns, the residents inside and outside the city were interrogated, and the household registration list that was considered useless in the past played a role, and it was clear how many people in whose family there were, if there were relatives from other places or not on the household registration list, Tianjin Wei was not embarrassed here, as long as he could tell the ins and outs, issue a road guide, or find someone to guarantee it.

This measure is also a means to prevent gentlemen from guarding against villains, but it still has some effect, there are many fewer traders and tourists outside Wang Tong's mansion, and there are many people of unknown origin in the entire Tianjin Wei who have left.

One after another, Sha Dacheng sent a ship to send 200,000 taels of silver first, and half of it was gold, but few people paid attention to it, and Sha Dacheng wrote his name in Tianjin, opened a boat line, called the Black Shark Boat Company, and Shen Vain opened the Sanshui Boat Line, and no one paid attention to it

Tianjin Wei is quiet, but Jingshi is not.
