Chapter 107: Plugging the Leak and Not admitting mistakes
When I came to this martial arts hall, there were teenagers who guessed that this martial arts hall was a martial arts in disguise, but now the brawl outside is facing a life-and-death crisis, and there are actually soldiers and horses to rescue, which is more and more affirmative.
When they walked to the corner of the street, they saw that the archers standing on the walls on both sides and on the roof had taken down their arrows, and bowed their heads to let them go first.
Wang Tong stayed over there, watching the soldiers of Long Xiang's left guard drag away the corpses one by one, and the servants and servants standing on the edge of the teahouse had lost their majesty just now, and their faces were pale there, and their bodies trembled as if they were sifting chaff.
Many people's faces were still splashed with the blood just now, but no one dared to wipe it, Wang Tong was looking at a few people in the teahouse over there.
He remembered that when He Jinyin was imprisoned in the prison of Shuntianfu, he came forward to say that there was a son of the official Shangshu, but he didn't know if that Shangshu only had this one son.
Wang Tong looked back and forth like this, and everyone in the teahouse was even more trembling, and the prince was also pale, and his upper and lower teeth collided and fought, and the second housekeeper on the side was paralyzed on the ground, trembling all over, and said nervously:
"We are the people of Shangshu Mansion, no one dares to move, no one dares to move...", but Su Biao was quite calm, he was nervously watching the every move of the people outside the teahouse, watching those big men drag away the corpses, and did not send more people to come over to guard, and said in a deep voice there:
"Son, wait for these people to agree to do whatever they want, it seems that they don't have the intention of killing us, and when they return to Shangshu Mansion, please call the shots for everything!!"
At this time, except for Su Biao, everyone else in the entire teahouse looked panicked, and they all nodded again and again when they had such a stable idea.
It didn't take long for Xue Zhanye, who was angry and corrupt to be sentenced to 100 households in Dongchang, also rushed over on horseback, and now he said that this matter was troubled, and he, who was in charge of this area, probably couldn't get out of it.
Looking at this scene, Wang Tongsuo's surname did not leave, and said Fang Cai Temple's words again, the matter is now, the key is to prove the right and wrong of this matter, and then no matter how to justify it, there is a reliable foothold, which is more reasonable.
In fact, these arrangements after the fact are quite ridiculous to say in detail, just for the sake of how Emperor Wanli explained to the Empress Dowager and Zhang Gelao.
It's all a friend who makes a mistake, and everyone helps to intercede and find a reason, just to let this friend explain the past to his parents, elders, teachers, or something.
Hearing that the emperor was going to suppress this matter, Xue Zhanye naturally agreed with Dongchang's punishment of 100 households, called a few entourages to arrange it, and stood there and said with annoyance:
"The status of the son of this Wang Shangshu family is also there, and there is no shortage of silver, if you want a woman, it is not a big deal, but I like this tune, I forced two to death last year, and they were all suppressed by the power of his family."
Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, but Deng Pu on the side gave this Xue Zhanye a look, thinking that Lord Wang was still young, and said that some of these things were not done, Xue Zhanye of the hundred households in the East Factory also reacted, and smiled curtly, but Wang Tong pondered, there are many jokes like robbing people's girls in the drama story, but in reality, characters like Shangshu Gongzi of the Ministry want women, so it is not just a recruitment, why rob.
"Lord Xue, can you elaborate on what it is?"
"This Young Master Wang is a good woman, his own concubine, the Qinglou woman outside is tired of playing, and what Sanyang Gong she has learned, she began to ponder the attention of the woman of the good family, and I took some reports here, saying that Young Master Wang said that women are like horses, the stronger the better, it is really boring to ride on them, or catch horses and train horses is the fun."
When he said this, Xue Zhanye, who was sentenced to 100 households in Dongchang, was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Wang Tong's expression as usual, he had the intention of asking, so he continued:
"The son-in-law of the Ministry of Shangshu likes, naturally there are people to welcome, there is a group of people outside here to set up a bureau for this prince, and when the time comes, it will become this prince to lead people to rob, and when he encounters the surname of the martyr, he often commits suicide...... Even if he entered the mansion, he didn't know where the young master Wang came from so many tricks, and he didn't know how he died. ”
With such a careless regard for human life, Wang Tong's brows gradually furrowed, and he asked out loud:
"Then you don't care?"
Xue Zhanye glanced at Wang Tong in surprise, and said helplessly:
"Dongchang is similar to your Jinyi pro-army, it is okay to investigate and investigate, but in such rumored cases, it is Shuntianfu who is convicted and sentenced, how dare those people in Shuntianfu offend Wang Tianguan's family."
Although it sounded harsh, but the truth was like this, Wang Tong had no choice but to clench his fists helplessly and say to Xue Zhanye and the others:
"Today, I only say that it was done by Dongchang, and the rest of the yamen and characters, even the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall, are not allowed to be involved, so as not to cause extraneous branches, so I will ask the two to beat people."
After he gave up his hand, he turned around and left, Xue Zhanye and Deng Pu subconsciously followed with their fists in return, and when Wang Tong walked away, Deng Pu whispered and said:
"A child who is less than fifteen years old, the official rank of the general banner is like an official."
Xue Zhanye, who was sentenced to 100 households in the East Factory on the side, replied angrily:
"Do you think that this Wang Tong is not the official of you and me now, even if he is not now, he will definitely not be able to run away in the future, remove your son-in-law, I'll come!"
Wang Tong rushed to the martial arts hall, there were inexplicably more people on the street of South Street, and many guards gathered around the delicious hall.
Looking at the sun in the sky, the course in the martial arts hall should have begun, Wang Tong was just about to pass, but a person at the door of the delicious hall shouted to him:
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, wait a minute!"
Wang Tong stopped and turned around, but saw a little eunuch running over, this eunuch had seen it before, it was Cai's father-in-law who was called "Xiao Cai".
Xiao Cai saluted first after arriving in front of Wang Tong, gasped and said:
"But wait until Lord Wang, go to the store quickly, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gongcheng are waiting for you?"
Today's incident, Emperor Wanli felt thrilling and exciting, and it was estimated that he was very happy, but the people who were alarmed by the incident did not know how much and how troublesome it would be.
The two of them walked a few steps, and Xiao Cai's eyes rolled, and he approached and whispered:
"Lord Wang, the people in the delicious restaurant have been sent out, now Ancestor Zhang Cheng and Grandpa Zou are there, the small one is close to each other outside, Ancestor Zhang Cheng is very angry, you should be careful when you go in."
"Thank you Gong Cai for your care, and I will invite Zhenxing Building to sit together in a few days." "Lord Wang, you're polite, come in!!"
At that time, when Wang Tong was looking for Zou Yi, this Xiao Cai blocked Zou Yi many times, and now the situation has been turned over, and he is looking for an opportunity to curry favor with him.
Where can Wang Tong take care of him, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and went in, but as soon as he entered, he saw Zou Yi kneeling on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, Zhang Cheng, who was wearing a python red robe, sat opposite him, and the big eunuch who was very deep in the city government had a rare anger on his face, and when he saw Wang Tong come in, he just said with a gloomy face:
"Wang Tong, long live the danger alone, you didn't even try to dissuade and stop it, it's okay anyway, if there is a case, you and the people around you will be wiped out, and you will be crushed, don't think that the glory and wealth have already been obtained at this time, this will get carried away."
Since the two sides met, Zhang Cheng has always been polite, but now that this is a very serious matter, Wang Tong hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed his head and said:
"Father-in-law Zhang, things came suddenly, Your Majesty wants to see it, after all, he is the Son of Heaven, the words of the Son of Heaven are the will, the little ones can't help but obey, and in order to keep it secret, they guard the forbidden soldiers, and most of them don't know that Your Majesty is also among the teenagers, and there is such a situation."
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng slapped the table with his hand, stood up directly and shouted angrily:
"With such words, is there nothing wrong with you in such a big thing today?"
This slapped the table, Zou Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, but Wang Tong still stood and clenched his fists and said:
"Father-in-law Zhang must not be angry, this matter is the will of the Son of Heaven, if it is not respected, then it is not a bully to resist the decree, besides, His Majesty is quite happy about this matter, before leaving, he just told him to cover up this matter completely, don't alarm and anger the Queen Mother, Father-in-law Zhang, do you think you should take care of this ...... at this time"
Wang Tong never knelt down and did not let go, that is, he would never admit that he had done wrong in his posture.
And if this matter is miscalculated and Emperor Wanli is grounded, then the line between himself and the emperor will probably be broken, and without this support, I am afraid that it will really be broken.
Hearing that the emperor wanted to cover it up, and didn't want to alarm the queen mother, Zhang Cheng's expression changed a few times, and he sat down with a long sigh and said:
"Wang Tong, your courage is also a little bigger, in case there is a mistake, how to take responsibility, Xiao Zou, get up, the fault of this matter cannot be blamed entirely on you......"
Zhang Cheng's mood eased, and Wang Tong followed up and said:
"In the martial arts hall, Your Majesty mostly makes his own plans for everything, and now the beginning and end of this matter are all driven by His Majesty's orders, which is also a great joy!"
These words seem to have nothing to do with the front, but in fact, they are talking about Zhang Cheng's itch, inside and outside the palace, there is no one more than Zhang Cheng who hopes that Emperor Wanli will make decisions on political affairs, and he, the closest eunuch at present, can also follow the rising tide.
Sure enough, when he said this, Zhang Cheng's face was even more relaxed, and he actually nodded, patted the table and said:
"Wang Tong, sit down and talk about how the Lord wants to cover up this matter."
