In the afternoon in the martial arts hall, Emperor Wanli did not come, nor did Chen Sibao and his party, Wang Tong put the small wooden box containing a short fire gun in the closest place to him.

This afternoon, Huang Yang and Yu Dayou's classes are also different from the past, talking about the art of war, talking about deduction, and paying attention to the return journey, often sighing and saying what they expect from everyone.

This is quite in line with the mentality of the two old men, but the teenagers are not very impatient to listen, and it seems that something has happened against them.

The nobles of the Jingshi are well-informed, and the Xiangcheng family is definitely unwilling to let their children get involved, and the old eunuch and the veteran's narration can naturally be thought of from the perspective of parting.

Wang Tong thought of this, how could he not calm down, he didn't make any mistakes, why did he suddenly do this to himself, could it be that the glory and wealth and wonderful life he worked hard were about to come to naught?

In the afternoon, Wang Tong did not tell anecdotes, nor did Chen Sibao talk about the scenery and famous things of the Beijing Division, and the teenagers gathered together to excitedly discuss the messages and specialties brought by the family.

Li Tao and Sun Xin and more than a dozen older teenagers were discussing what kind of official background they could have after going out in this martial arts.

If it weren't for the repeated orders of the practitioners not to bow down, everyone in this martial arts hall would probably be righteous brothers, and Wang Tong would have to be a big brother.

When it was time for dinner, there was no movement, as usual, Wang Tong silently carried the wooden box back to his residence, he thought that the deserted house was still lit, and when he walked in, he found that Ma Sanbiao was waiting in the house, Li Wenyuan was actually there, and Li Hutou, who thought he was going home, was practicing in the yard with a spear much taller than him.

Seeing them, Wang Tong was a little stunned, Li Hutou excitedly put down the spear and said:

"Brother Wang, my senior brother ordered several dishes in Zhenxing Building, just wait for you to come back and eat, hurry up, hurry up, this big gun is too tired to practice."

"The master is back, my mother has to come over, I and Brother Zhang tried to persuade me, and my mother sent me over again, if it weren't for Zhuangzi's side to be watched, Brother Zhang and Steward Tan would also come over!"

Li Wenyuan also walked out, first glared at Li Hutou, Li Hutou immediately saw a mouse like a cat, and picked up a big gun to practice, Li Wenyuan had no expression on his face, and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, we will follow the adults to share the wealth, and naturally we will also go through the tribulations together, and the adults will treat them like this, which will make the people below feel too cold." On the side, Ma Sanbiao said in a loud voice:

"Master I am right, shout happy when you eat meat and drink wine, and you can't complain when you encounter difficulties, my lord, you will warm up inside, and I will go to Zhenxing Building to urge the food." Wang Tong nodded, Li Wenyuan shook his head and looked at Ma Sanbiao's back and sighed:

"Sanbiao calls me master, the tiger head calls me father, and the subordinates still call you an adult, but the tiger head calls you the eldest brother, it's really a mess of generations, the tiger head, you can't use up your strength when you stab!"

After speaking, he went down to instruct Li Hutou's practice, Wang Tong lowered his head and walked into the house, the stove was burning in the house, and there was a pot boiling water on the charcoal brazier, the light was very bright, Wang Tong suddenly felt that his eyes were moist for a while, and he didn't dare to let go of it with his hand, and he stopped for a while before putting down his hand.

Seeing the truth in the tribulation, maybe this is what he said, just sat down in the house, opened the wooden box and began to arrange the firecracker, not long after, I heard the door outside ringing, and listened to Ma Sanbiao's loud voice:

"Master, Tiger Head, come into the house to eat, it'll be cold in a while!"

Li Hutou followed with a cheer and rushed in quickly, Ma Sanbiao carried a large food box in one hand, walked into the house and put it down, but did not hurriedly open the cloth vegetables, but turned out an envelope and walked over.

"Master, just walking halfway down, the black light blindly touched a person, the person accompanied him repeatedly, while saying that I dropped the letter, put the letter on the food box and ran away, and when I pondered that the letter was his, the person was no longer visible, this thing was strange, and I specially brought it to the lord to see."

There is such a strange thing in the very season, Wang Tong took the letter, naturally there was no text on the envelope, opened the letter and saw that it said:

"The wind and rain are heavy, brothers should be cautious, stabilize the old Dong, the surname is greedy for money, if you want to go out of the city, ten taels are enough, cherish."

There is no payment, but this handwriting Wang Tong is somewhat familiar, I remember that there is a small talk, and Lu Wancai once said that the government can rely on handwriting to convict, if a little practice, you can also write with your left hand, but this handwriting is completely different from Ping, and the government will not start from this.

At that time, Lu Wancai also wrote a few demonstrations with his left hand, and now that I think about it, this Lu Tong's judgment is probably also to prepare for such a scene today, because the words on the letter are too similar to what was written that day.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate are all soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and these soldiers usually make money by extorting pedestrians and merchants who enter and exit the city gate.

These people who are good friends with Wang Tong in Shuntianfu used to come and walk around every day, and they had to find something to say if they didn't have anything to say, but now they have never come to the door, but they can send this letter, Wang Tong can't say that they are cold, after all, Lu Wan is the general judge of Shuntianfu, a civil official, involved in this kind of thing, no matter whether Wang Tong is good or not, he should not mix up in the officialdom in the future, then Wang Si and Li Gui are natives of Beijing, they have families and businesses, and they dare not be involved.

To be honest, it was already a big risk for the people over there to send this letter, and this friend was not in vain.

However, in this situation, it is really difficult to say whether the old Dong of Andingmen is credible or not, and it is good to let people inquire, if it really comes to that time, he hurried over, but he ran into a trap, then it was not worth it.

Several people had already walked into the house, and no one dared to disturb the letter in Wang Tong's hand, but they were all interested in the content of the letter.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm hungry, let's eat quickly!"

The letter and envelope were burned to ashes, and everyone knew that they didn't ask, and when Ma Sanbiao went to return the food box after eating, Wang Tongcai whispered to Li Wenyuan:

"Ming said that Brother Li went to Andingmen to inquire about the doorkeeper of Lao Dong, you must be cautious and don't make a noise."

Li Wenyuan nodded in agreement, Li Wenyuan is calm, and because of Li Hutou, there will be no risk, so he can be used to do such things.

Many of Wang Tong's preparations have not yet been completed, and Li Wenyuan has not yet gone to Andingmen to inquire, and the next day, the door of Wang Tong's house banged.

Wang Tong, who didn't sleep much, immediately stretched out his hand under the pillow, took out the fire gun that had been loaded with ammunition, took the fire rope in the incense burner in the house and lit the fire rope, he could hear the sound of talking outside, and Ma Sanbiao, who got up to open the door, had a loud voice:

"Isn't this Grandpa Cai, it's so early today!"

"Third brother, hurry up and call Lord Wang to get up, there is a holy decree!"

"Divine Decree...... Holy Decree! Master!! Master!!! ”

Ma Sanbiao obviously didn't react in his mind, and when he reacted, his voice trembled, and he simply roared outside.

Listening to the tone of the speech outside, the holy decree should not be a sin, otherwise this Cai Nan would not be so kind, Wang Tong groaned, took out a short knife and cut the fire rope, and stepped on the burning head with the sole of his boot, Wang Tong did not take off his clothes to sleep, he put the fire gun and fire rope in a corner of the hall, and then lit a candle.

Only then did he open the door of the house, but he saw Zou Yi wearing a black robe with tight sleeves and holding a holy decree in his hand, standing in the courtyard, behind him were two brocade guards, the little eunuch Cai Nan and another smaller one, standing on the side.

Jin Yiwei is here to catch himself? Wang Tong quickly denied this, because the two Jinyi guards were tall and straight, wearing brand new flying fish suits, and even the embroidered spring knife scabbard they were carrying was polished.

The Han generals generally follow the eunuchs to announce the decree in Beijing, this should not be to arrest, Wang Tong reacted to this and looked at Cai Nan's side, but he was stunned when he saw it, and before he could speak, Li Hutou, who rubbed his eyes and squeezed out, shouted with joy:

"Xiaoliang, why are you here, are you doing well in the palace!"

The little eunuch was actually Zhao Jinliang, wearing a green robe, standing beside Cai Nan with his head bowed, but when he saw Wang Tong and Li Hutou, he also showed an excited look on his face.

"Wang Baihu, the holy decree has arrived, you ......"

The two brocade guards in the back saw that the courtyard was in a mess, there was a system to receive orders, this Wang Tong was just a small hundred households, so he had the heart to reprimand, Zou Yi turned around and waved his hand, and said kindly:

"Wang Baihu, take the order!!"

brought Zhao Jinliang again, Cai Nan and Zou Yi's attitude was so kind, Wang Tong was also confused, this didn't seem to be quite right with the wind in front.

Wang Tong was stunned there, and Zou Yi below reminded him softly:

"Wang Baihu ......"

Wang Tong reacted at this time, but he took a step, and was immediately stunned, he didn't know how to answer the order, looking at Wang Tong's expression, Zou Yi also understood, turned back to the two brocade guards and said:

"The two captains, help Wang Baihu arrange the scene of receiving the order, he is not familiar with it here."

The two brocade guards were completely confused, what kind of rule is this, whoever goes to declare the decree and asks for less money can be regarded as looking up to each other, how can they even make arrangements in this hundred households.

Slander is slander, but Zou Yi can't afford to offend, so they have to do it.

All preparations stopped, Wang Tong and a group of people knelt in front of the incense case, and Zou Yi unfolded the holy decree:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict appointed Jinyi Wei hundred households Wang Tong as Tianjin Sanwei Jinyi Wei to punish thousands of households......"
