Chapter 522: Who's More Insidious

readx;

In any case, Wantong is a big hit, but in the midst of praise, Wantong's words are not easy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wanjia used to be one of the most wealthy families in Beijing, and when the Chenghua Dynasty, Wanjia placed a land on the side of the inner east gate, which can be described as the first mansion in Beijing. At that time, the Wanjia Xianyi was angry and the servants were like clouds, but since Wan Guifei died, Wantong was sent to Liaodong, and the Wanjia family gradually fell.

Now that Wantong has returned to Beijing, he can only live in Fusi, Beizhen, for the time being, but he asked someone to repair the mansion, but it has a look.

And this night, Wantong moved back to Wanfu, and the old housekeeper of Wanfu was called Wanda, who was bent down in the study at the moment in a cold sweat and didn't dare to say a word.

Wantong sat behind his desk, slowly looking at an account.

The accounts are very old, and the numbers are staggering.

He frowned, pondered for a moment, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, then raised his eyes, glanced at Wanda, and said, "Why is there only 110,000 taels on the account?" Is there only so much in the treasury? ”

Wanda smiled bitterly: "Master, when you went to Liaodong, you went up and down, and the silver flowed out like water, before and after, and the cost was a lot, and the Qiu Ba in those border towns were not confused at all, which would not know the situation of the lord at that time?" Therefore, they are all desperate to ask for money, if not...... If it weren't for ......"

Wantong didn't make a sound, in fact, when he went to Liaodong, his situation was very dangerous, of course those Qiu Ba knew what he was from, and they also knew the attitude of the palace towards him, although it was Qincha, in fact, everyone didn't pay attention to it, and there were many people who deliberately made things difficult, Wantong naturally knew what his identity was, of course, he didn't dare to take himself as Qincha, for this, he also let people go around to prevent accidents.

It's just that I can't imagine that so much money has been spent on dotting, plus I have been sitting on empty food all these years, where is there any surplus wealth?

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are not a big deal at all, and now Wantong is considered to have swallowed the bitter fruit, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. There were rumors everywhere outside, saying that he, the commander of ten thousand, wanted to give fifty taels of silver to the people above and below the Jinyi Guard.

Jinyiwei was extremely inflated in the Chenghua Dynasty, the number once had more than 30,000 people, after the Hongzhi Dynasty, although the Jinyiwei began to shrink, but the previous establishment is still there, and it cannot be dismissed, so the number is still maintained at more than 20,000 people, if it is fifty taels of silver per person, it means that more than one million taels of silver need to be tattooed.

Of course, Wantong knows who released this news, and now Jinyiwei is convinced of this rumor, but he Wantong is suffering, if it is really sent down with fifty taels of silver per person, the silver spent is millions of taels of silver, and few people in the whole world can get this money.

But what if you don't give it?

Wantong looked a little depressed, if he didn't give it, he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Originally, when he was going to send the money from the fireworks alley, the initiative was completely in his hands, and he kneaded Liu Chengfeng as much as he wanted, and when the time was ripe, he could squeeze Liu Chengfeng out. But now it's not like this at all, Wantong has completely fallen into passivity, but this feeling makes him a little powerless, seeing that the period of three days is coming in a blink of an eye, but so far he has not found any good way.

In fact, he asked some people to refute the rumors, but most people will only believe the good news, and the refutation of the rumors has become a murmur.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the time to issue silver, and it is not enough for Vantone to put all his family funds into it.

Wantong's face was a little uneasy, the bags under his eyes were very loose, dark and flickering, he sat on the chair and thought about it, and finally the wrinkled old hand put it on the desk, and said slowly: "You go down." ”

Wanda glanced at Wantong cautiously, and couldn't help but say, "The master is not sleeping today?" ”

Wantong shook his head and said, "Just take a nap here, it's none of your business here, don't ask more." ”

This night, Wantong is spent in the study, he faintly felt, this matter is not only instigated, but also after the instigation there should be a follow-up, he is not careful, it is very likely to capsize, it was originally a matter of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, who knows that it was easily broken, this is just that, more importantly, Wantong really can't figure out who is the person behind the instigation?

Is it Wen Zheng? This person, in fact, Wantong dealt with more than ten years ago, when Wantong was a commander, Wen Zheng was still a thousand households at that time, and he knew some of his details, this person was more than stable and lacked wit, presumably it should not be him.

Mu Bin......

Mu Bin, he has also dealt with this person, this person's surname is cautious, and such an aggressive method will never have anything to do with him.

Could it be that Liu Chengfeng?

If so, this Liu Chengfeng is inevitably too vicious, but now that he thinks about it, he feels more and more that his guess is not wrong, Wantong feels that he has met an opponent, this opponent will not play cards according to common sense, the more such people are more difficult to deal with.

In the future, who will squeeze who in the brocade guard, I'm afraid it's not certain.

Wantong who was sitting on the chair fell asleep unconsciously, and when he got up early in the morning, it was Wanda who woke him up, he was sleepy and cheered up, and barely stood up with his hands on the desk, and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, the old man is going to be on duty." ”

Beizhen Fusi's side, because the scribe's room has issued a note, so that the people of thousands of households and hundreds of households come to receive the reward money and distribute it, so everyone's spirit is exceptionally good, no one will think that the money is too hot, not to mention that most of the people in the Jinyi Wei are idle people, proficient in eating, drinking, scooping and gambling, making a lot of money, and spending a lot of money, so everyone is in a hurry to come, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, and small flags have come to hundreds of people, everyone greets enthusiastically, smiles and chatters, all full of spirits, There are also many people who are waiting for the silver to be sent down to repay the debts or to fill the shortfall, all of them are waiting to be fed, and they are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.

The scribes among those scribes are a little nervous at the moment, it is said that there is nothing wrong with the strict rules in the brocade guard, in fact, they know best how much reward money to give, they have already come up with the charter, 40,000 taels of silver, ordinary thousands of households can still have 10 taels or 8 taels in their hands, as for the hundred households, I am afraid that there are not even three taels of silver, and it is good to have one or two general flags and small flags below, but most people are hundreds of dollars.

But looking at the appearance of these people outside, it seems that they have all picked up gold ingots, which is very wrong.

In fact, many scribes have also heard the rumors, but this kind of thing, of course, they will not clarify, if you go to clarify, you may offend people, people can swear that they have seen it with their own eyes, if you say nothing, lose the face of others, you will definitely turn against you. So everyone is silent, and some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic have also spread a lot of rumors.

"The commander is here, the commander is here......"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Sure enough, I saw that a sedan chair appeared at the corner of the street and was slowly coming this way, and the people crowded here were in an uproar, and someone in the crowd immediately said, "Don't you welcome our Lord Ten Thousand Commanders?" Wan commanded the great grace and great virtue, and the prince Wandai. ”

When the sedan chair appeared at the door of Fusi in Beizhen, everyone saluted together and clasped their fists one after another, wanting to see Wantong's demeanor.

Wantong didn't get out of the sedan chair, but just lightly instructed the sedan chair driver to carry it directly into it and not stay.

The sedan chair drivers responded to the order and did not let Wantong get off the sedan chair here, but directly carried the sedan chair into the Zhenfu Division.

When the people outside saw it, they didn't think that the commander was arrogant, but they all smiled and whispered, saying that the commander of ten thousand was low-key and spread his kindness, but he didn't want everyone to thank him.

It's just that Wantong only felt this huge pressure at this time, the more people up and down the Jinyi Wei were happy, the greater the pressure on him, he sat in the sedan chair, the whole person was a little sluggish, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until the sedan chair man outside urged, he hummed, and got out of the sedan chair, the sedan chair was carried directly into the main hall, and at this time, the scribes outside began to ask to see.

Wantong sent away the sedan chair and sat down on the main seat in this lobby, his ears could still hear the noise of joy outside, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said, "Come in." ”

The waiter outside walked in and bowed down, and when the official looked at Wantong, he was clearly a little mocking and bantering.

That's right, it's this kind of look, it's that kind of mockery, who is this official, where would he not know what is about to happen? At this moment, this commander must be in a hurry.

This kind of look, in fact, Wantong has seen it, in Liaodong, there are many Qiu Ba who look at him like this, and he didn't expect to return to Jingshi, and it turned out to be the same.

He suppressed his anger and sneered, "What's the matter? ”

The priest was still respectful on the surface, and said: "My lord, someone from outside has come to receive the reward, and people from thousands and hundreds of households have come, all waiting for the grace of the adult. ”

Wantong stroked the case, groaned slightly, and said bitterly: "The charter you sent yesterday, the old man has read it, this charter is not bad, so ...... Let's just give the bounty according to this statute. ”

The priest glanced at Wantong again, and saw that although Wantong's face was as calm as possible, his eyes were a little flickering, and the priest felt funny in his heart, so he didn't say anything, saluted, and withdrew.
