Since moving to Tianjinwei, although it is busy every year, there have been many troubles in going to the outside of the city to practice in the past two years, but the first month of Chinese New Year's Eve is still as much as possible to have a happy Spring Festival. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ten years after entering Wanli, since Wang Tong downward, the entire Tianjin Wei's Jinyi Wei and Huwei military systems have been filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone is just busy without Wang Tong urging anything.

The lantern field is set up in the east of Tianjin's Weihaihe business district, preparing to hold the Lantern Festival, which is yearning for it inside and outside Tianjin, but there is no such atmosphere in Wang Tong's mansion and official office.

In the seventh day of the first lunar month, Wang Tong worked in the Jinyi Guard Office in the city, and went out of the city when the city gate was about to close, or lived here directly.

This day was the evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and in the main hall in front, Ma Sanbiao carried a food box in his hand, put it on the coffee table next to Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"My lord, this is the dumplings made by my mother, and I also told the cook to make a few delicious side dishes, and let my subordinates send them over, and I also told the adults that this New Year's Day should not make yourself too hard, and let the people below be busy if you have something to do."

Wang Tong smiled and nodded, and said:

"It's bothering Aunt Ma, now there is no horse team inside and outside the city, and your mother-in-law is pregnant again, so it's only right for you to accompany you more at home."

Speaking of this topic, Ma Sanbiao smiled all over his face, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and said with a smile:

"There are a group of subordinates in the house to serve, and my mother is watching, so I don't need to accompany me, and now that there are so many things in Tianjin Wei, my subordinates don't dare to leave their posts without permission, so as not to make a mistake when the time comes."

Different from other military generals, in the relationship between Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao, the personal component is quite heavy, when chatting in private, the discussion is quite common, Ma Sanbiao has to stick to his post, which is naturally a good thing, the two chatted a few more words, Ma Sanbiao hesitated, and said with a dry smile:

"My lord, when I came to deliver dumplings, my mother also asked me to persuade the adult, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"If there's anything we can't say between us, just say it"

"That...... My mother said that the adults are not young, the status is also high, the net worth and status of the family business are not lacking, there is no way to always be such a person, it is better to find a companion quickly, Tianjin Wei is not worthy, then go to Beijing to find a decent family, ask others to say ......"

Now relatives, friends and cronies who are older than Wang Tong, and even close subordinates, often mention that Wang Tong is not young and should be married.

Wang Tong smiled, just reached out and opened the food box, when he came, he wrapped it tightly with a cotton sleeve, and the insulation was good, after opening, it was steaming, and the room was full of the aroma of food.

"Mutton dumplings, vinegared shredded radish, as well as cold-cut braised pork and crispy fish, are all dishes I like."

Seeing Wang Tong change the topic, Ma Sanbiao was not easy to continue, with his rough and straight nature, he was not a person who said such things, and he was just about to answer, when someone outside reported it, presumably he had been ordered by Wang Tong, and the person had already walked in.

The man who came in was in his thirties, ordinary-looking, of medium build, and wearing the uniform of Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, but as soon as he entered, the atmosphere in the room was a little different.

Ma Sanbiao saw at first glance that there were blood stains on the hem of this person's flying fish suit, and the smell in the house was not only the aroma of food, but also a bloody smell.

People like Ma Sanbiao, who have been killed on the battlefield, know that what can have such a bloody smell must be fresh bloodstains, Ma Sanbiao took a step sideways, but his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife.

The brocade guard who had just come in gave Wang Tong a salute with a calm expression, turned around and saluted Ma Sanbiao, and then looked at Wang Tong, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"Sanbiao go back first, remember to arrange for the city gate to be closed as usual, and the official will live in the official office tonight."

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Ma Sanbiao knew that there was something to avoid talking about himself, so he hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Ma Sanbiao went out, Wang Tong nodded to General Tan beside him, General Tan stretched out his hand and waved, the soldiers who were waiting everywhere in the house all retreated, and when the door closed, Wang Tong opened his mouth and asked:

"But what is the result?"

The brocade-clothed guard below bowed and replied:

"Back to the words of the adult, the humble position used a big punishment on everyone, these people can't stand it at all, after a round, they cry and shout, some are the inheritance of the past dynasties, and some are the people of the rivers and lakes who came to swagger and deceive, but it has nothing to do with the Sanyang Sect."

"Is that accurate?"

"Please rest assured, my lordship has been in my position for twelve years, and I haven't seen anyone who can hold it under Miki, not to mention that according to the orders of the adult, I mixed our people among the prisoners, and after the torture, I talked in the dungeon, I really don't know what Sanyang Sect is?"

"Could it be that what Maitreya and White Lotus are talking about to the outside world, but they are from the Sanyang Sect?"

"No, the lowly command is a separate set of words on this, and some people who come to Beijing have heard it, but they have heard it, but they don't know much about it."

Wang Tong nodded, sat there and groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that the nameless white man who pretended to be a woman came here to preach just to cheat money and hand it over, and asked to enter the palace, but he didn't have any other intentions......"

The brocade-clothed guard below bowed down and said:

"My subordinates don't dare to say it, but they can only say that it may be so."

These words show his sophistication, Wang Tong nodded approvingly, and said again:

"I borrowed you from Xue Baihu in Dongchang, and I really did the right thing, but the matter is big, you have to be wronged for a while, you can't get out of this official office without my orders, when can you leave, wait for my orders"

The little flag's face was as usual, bowed down to receive the order, Wang Tong groaned, and then spoke:

"That nameless white person who pretends to be a woman, asks again, burns incense and believes in God, people are prone to demons, maybe they are not afraid of this torture."

"Obey the order, everyone in the cell, the villain will keep an eye on it, and if there is anything, it will be reported to the adult immediately."

Wang Tong nodded, and said to General Tan on the side:

"General Tan, send 1,000 taels to Xu Xiaoqi tomorrow, and then notify the military quartermaster here of the official office, and the food and drink must be supplied."

Tan General above agreed, this thousand taels is not a small amount, and there is preferential treatment for eating and drinking, this Xu Xiaoqi hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"You have worked hard, and when you are done, the official will be thanked."

Over there, Xu Xiaoqi said goodbye and withdrew, Wang Tong patted the bookcase with his palm and pondered for a long time, about to greet Tan Jiang, but turned his head to see that Tan Jiang was frowning, and the direction he was looking at was the side of the door.

"You don't have a good impression of this little flag, do you?"

General Tan paused, bowed down and said:

"It's not about likes and dislikes, it's just that this person makes the little one uncomfortable"

"He is an expert in torture in the East Factory, and his methods are ruthless, it is estimated that there will not be too many people in the world who see him comfortable, but there are too few such people in our hands, in order to prevent accidents, this official transferred people through Zhang Gonggong's side, even if the torture can't do anything, can't ask anything, and ask for everything."

The place to stay is not in the official office, Wang Tong's original mansion is on the edge of the drum tower in the city, it is convenient to live there, and the guards are much simpler.

Coming out of the official office, Tan Jiang went to arrange the carriage and horse guards, but Zhang Shiqiang, who had just returned from Beijing, walked over, approached and whispered:

"My lord, those families left yesterday."

Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Don't know much, you're keeping an eye on it."

Zhang Shiqiang hurriedly agreed, the guards led the horse, and Tan Jiang also returned from the inspection, and saw Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang together, and deliberately slowed down, he knew that there must be something secret to talk about.

Wang Tong was just about to wave his hand, when he heard a faint cannon sound in the direction of the east, he turned his head in wonder, but a huge firework bloomed in the sky, and the faces of the people reflected in the light of the fireworks lit up, and the people around Wang Tong couldn't help but turn their heads to look in that direction, Wang Tong smiled:

"I don't know whose picture is fresh, so I'll put it first"

The general of the border town, who was not allowed to leave the town without the express order of the imperial court, led his troops back after entering Beijing to meet him.

If it was in the past, Ma Dong might have gone to Xuanfu to accompany his Lao Tzu for the New Year, but the words of Emperor Wanli in the warm pavilion of the palace made Ma Dong dare not neglect and slacken, and after leaving Beijing, he did not delay much on the road, and hurried all the way.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Ma Dong returned to Datong, originally he was the general of the East Tianchengwei of Datong Town, which was close to Xuanfu, and the guards were Huyukou and Baiyangkou, and now the official offices of the mansion are located in Datong City.

Because of the convenience of trade with the grassland, Datong City is rich and prosperous, and the sound of dogs and horses is not inferior to the thoroughfare of the mainland and the south of the Yangtze River.

The former deputy general returned to his hometown with dozens of truckloads of goods and goods to retire, and before leaving, he gave the house to Ma Dong.

When a new official takes office, there are always such and such established rules, and the rules in Datong Town are the generous gifts of businessmen who travel between the border and the mainland.

Needless to say, gold and silver treasures, such as flowers and beautiful families, there is no need to say this, the wealthy businessmen are extremely generous, almost Ma Dong opened his mouth, and he could buy anything, and the deputy general took office and it was so, not to mention the chief soldier, the supervisor and other cadres.

The more this is the case, the more Ma Dong trembles, and he doesn't dare to act at will, he gave a strict order, the porter and the guards are guarding the door, and all the gifts are blocked, and those who come empty-handed can enter the door.

After coming to Datong, except for meeting the general army and the supervising army as usual, and after meeting the governor, he did not participate in any banquet and party.

This style made the whole town of Datong quite stunned, thinking how Ma Fang taught his son, why he didn't understand this bit of human feelings, didn't accept gifts, didn't drink and have fun together, how could he be a good deputy general of this town?
