After coming out of the palace, it was already dark, and a minister of Wang Tong's status walked on the street, and the soldiers in front of him also had to carry lanterns, and the lanterns had their names and official positions written on them, otherwise, the Jinyi Guard Patrol Division and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling the streets had the right to come forward to inquire.

Li Hutou is a general, although he is young, but he has also experienced too many things, when he and Wang Tong rushed to the capital together, there was an inexplicable worry in his heart, although Wang Tong on the road behaved very normally, talking and laughing.

Wang Tong talked and laughed with the gang leader, Zhang Cheng and others in the palace, and when he met Wanli in the palace, the atmosphere was also quite relaxed and happy.

Laughter and laughter, everyone was talking about how Wang Tong won this big victory, and Li Hutou also laughed and discussed, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Walking out of the palace gate, he suddenly saw Wang Tong's face gloomy, Li Hutou only felt a tightness in his heart, walked a few steps and turned his head to look again, but now Wang Tong's expression was the same as when he came, as if the gloom just now was just his own illusion, which made Li Hutou's heart even more uncomfortable, but he also knew that he couldn't open it. Ask, and can't even say it to others.

"Tiger head, it will take a few days for the army to enter the city, you have returned to the capital division, you don't have to follow me tonight, go and accompany your father, you are fighting outside, rolling in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, he doesn't say it on the surface, and secretly he doesn't know how to worry! 、。

Wang Tong said with a smile on the horse, Li Hutou agreed sideways on the horse, and said with a smile: "Big brother will also go back and rest early, and Hutou will go home!" ”

"The loot brought into Beijing will also be brought to your father, so that he will be happy!"

Li Hutou had already left the team with his personal guards, and when he heard Wang Tong's greeting, he just raised his hand on the horse, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you give it the same, I won't trouble today!" ”

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, and the group of people walked towards the house on the other side of South Street, and his team of people walked on the street, which also attracted the attention of many people.

When it gets dark, the common people are almost all staying at home, and those who can walk on the road are not the officials who patrol the night, or the rich and noble people who can have a night life, these people naturally know what kind of character Wang Tong is, and they are often stunned when they see this group of people, and when Wang Tong and they walk by, they hurriedly ordered their subordinates to pass the news to relatives and friends, and Wang Tong returned to Beijing first.

"My lord, Lord Lu of Shuntian Mansion, Li Qianhu of the Department of Public Security, and Mr. Yang said that in order to keep a low profile, they all waited for the adults to go back in the mansion, and they did not come to greet them.

Wang Tong nodded immediately, his mansion on South Street was not far from the Imperial City, and it had already arrived in a short time, and it was only a short way away...... Now there's a probe at the door.

After turning over and dismounting, Wang Tong handed the reins to the soldiers beside him, and instructed: "If you are not a resident on this street, you are not a person who has come to the house to run errands, you will all be whipped out, and if you intend to resist, you will be arrested and put in the Jinyi Guard Prison and interrogated tomorrow." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then agreed loudly, and then the order was issued, and the guards in Wang Tong's mansion counted the people who came back, and the two hundred people always came out, all of them were tigers and wolves who had seen the fight, and the ghosts and pretending people outside had not yet reacted, and they had been surrounded by Wang Tong's personal guards.

On the street in front of Wang Tong's mansion, the sound of crying father and mother immediately sounded, and some people shouted "I am from such and such a family", such people are even more unlucky, they were originally a matter of receiving a few whips, shouting this sentence, they are often directly knocked over on the ground, tied up and taken away.

It is not possible to eat and sleep outside, but he has led the army to fight for so long, and there is no too comfortable life, and when he returns to his residence, Wang Tong is also a little emotional.

He stood in front of the door and didn't move, just looked inside, the guards didn't bother, carefully stared around, so as not to let the chaos on the street affect him, Wang Tong whispered: "Meritorious service for the Ming Dynasty and for the benefit of the people, did I do something wrong?" ”

Wang Tong's voice was very low in his voice, and there was such chaos on the street that no one noticed it.

…………

"Mr. Yang reminded him right, after the big victory, there are a lot of things, and this achievement is really dazzling, and the official is also a little carried away!"

Back at his house, he had to say a few words to someone, Wang Tong returned to the city in advance, it was really hard to say whether he was comfortable or uncomfortable, Yang Enchen and others wanted to explain a few words, Wang Tong replied crisply.

After saying this, seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, Wang Tong sat down with a smile and said: "The Guihua City side is much colder than the Venerable Master, but it is wetter than Jingshu, which is a strange thing!" ”

"Brother Wang, you go to Northern Xinjiang, I also checked the customs notes of my predecessors, and the area around Guihua City is also the edge of the river loop, and the rivers converge, so there is naturally no shortage of water. ……

Lu Wancai said with a smile, everyone is trying to make this atmosphere more relaxed, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, his expression became more serious, and he said: "Lead the army into the grassland, and hit the Ministry of Response, this official is sure, a few days ago, I read the newspaper from the Department of Public Security, and the rumors in the Beijing division have actually reached this point, and the official has nothing to worry about when he is marching and fighting, but after returning from a big victory, now this situation, the official feels more dangerous than before!" ”

After a pause at this, Wang Tong picked up the stack of scrolls on the coffee table next to him, and said in a deep voice: "The situation at this time is the most delicate, rumors and slanders, whether it is true or false, do not say, but as long as it is heard, it will be thought, and after thinking about it for a long time, there will be too many things outside, and the fake will become true." ……

Yang Sichen and the others all nodded, and Yang Sichen said: "Actually, it is a beautiful thing for the adults to lead the army back to Beijing to offer victory, but such boiling rumors in the Beijing division are spreading, and when the time comes, the adults will lead the army into the city, parade and military exercises, and in the eyes of those who are interested, I am afraid it will change its taste." ……

"What Mr. Yang said is good, so together with the rumor, everyone will write a letter to you, Brother Wang, and then send the Department of Public Security to strictly investigate the source of this rumor."

Wang Tong took a few sips of the tea bowl, put it on the table, and said with a heavy sound, Wang Tong sneered and said: "Say that I am a high meritorious, say that I have bad intentions, before I go, say that I am reckless, regardless of the lives of thousands of soldiers and horses, say that I put the Ming in danger, left and right are not right, rumors below the fifth grade are noisy, more than five grades are silent, and there are even those who add to the fire, it is nothing more than that I have made such a great achievement, and the weight of speaking and doing things in the future will become heavier and heavier, and it does not show that they are all Ming courtiers, how can they ......"

As he spoke, Wang Tong was still excited, but he also stopped it in time, took a few deep breaths there, Lu Wancai unfolded the folding fan and shook it a few times, sighed and said: "Brother Wang, don't say anything if you don't say it clearly, Brother Wang is now getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people around him. ”

Wang Tong snorted coldly, and Yang Sichen pondered on the side and said: "Adults should be cautious in everything, after all, now that so many people rely on the protection of adults, if there is anything wrong on the side of adults, they will definitely be affected." ”

I have been with Wang Tong for a long time, and I know that although Wang Tong is young, he has a rare sense of responsibility, such as sending troops to northern Xinjiang, this kind of thing will not get any benefit at all, and defeat is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and winning is the same as the current situation, it is easy to cause any trouble, but what Wang Tong said is that this battle can make the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty peaceful for many years, and can make half of the soldiers and civilians in the nine sides live and work in peace and contentment, and then lead the army to go.

At present, this persuasion does not mention personal gains and losses, but mentions that there are many people around Wang Tong who share weal and woe, and life and death are at stake, but this will move Wang Tong.

Wang Tong nodded, stretched out his hand, as if to push these things away, and changed the topic and said: "Back to Jingshi, it is necessary to rectify the rumors of this bastard first, the army is desperately working in front, bleeding and sweating, and this gang of bastards in the back is using their mouths to wantonly slander, the speaker is not guilty, it is not for these people to use it on this, what the Public Security Department and other places have found, let's talk about it."

Li Wenyuan, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said: "The rumors that the army was corrupted in Baoding Mansion, ruined the soldiers and their dependents, and killed the local people were first said by a teahouse in Nancheng. ”

Wang Tong listened carefully, and interjected at this time: "It seems that someone has arranged to spread rumors together, whose family is behind the shop Zhuangzi." ”

"The proprietor is not easy to check, there are different people on the bottom of the peace silver on the side of the Public Security Division, and the news came almost the day before yesterday, it should be the ...... from Wu Qinghou's side."

"The people of the Li family still don't give up!"

Wang Tong sneered, opened his mouth and continued to ask: "Gong Gao Zhenlord, who spread the rumors that the Northern Expedition army has evil intentions?" ”

"After the great victory of the adults, some scholars in the poetry societies of the guild halls in various places said such things in private, but there were really people who talked about it and talked about it, but after April 15, it was easy to find out the source, it was the instructions of Yan Qing, a scholar of the cabinet and a scholar of the ministry, and the people who spread it were a few ...... with a high reputation."

Yang Sichen on the side added: "Yan Qing is about to give office, this Yan Qing's disciple, as well as the news in the palace and the court, can be confirmed." ”

Wang Tong smiled bitterly, patted the coffee table next to him and said: "It's this kind of person who makes people cry and laugh the most, do you think he is in the heart of a meritorious soldier, but he feels that he is for the country and the people, since everyone is for the country, why is there such a big conflict!?" ”

A few people on the side are not easy to communicate, this involves the battle of the court, the status of civil and military, etc., it is too complicated, Wang Tong paused, and said in a cold voice: "Such a foolish person will leave after giving a warning, and the others will use their heads to atone for their sins!"
