"Master, this fire gun is in the form of a ghost, right!?"

After Wang Tong put the short fire hammer on the table, several blacksmiths picked it up and looked at it and asked this question, Wang Tong was stunned, being able to ask this shows that the blacksmiths are not laymen!

"Indeed, when I went to Guangdong, a Franc machine blacksmith sent it."

A blacksmith in his forties stepped forward and said in a rough voice:

"Don't hide it from the master, the little ones used to support themselves by eating official food...... The lord did not know that the craftsmen who made weapons and firearms everywhere could not do any work except for their strength, and if there was an important work, the officials in charge would have to spend money to find us to do it, and the knives and guns could be beaten, and the firearms were also made ......."

Wang Tong smiled, privately making blades and firearms is a big crime against the law, these blacksmiths were a little nervous after knowing that they were Jinyiwei, this blacksmith's explanation of thousands of miles away, I am afraid it is also the meaning of a report.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't care what you've done in the past, as long as you do things according to my rules in the future, no one will dare to touch you, let's talk about this short gun, can you do it or not!"

Listening to Wang Tong's assurance, the blacksmiths showed a look of peace of mind on their faces, and the blacksmith who replied in a rough voice took the short gun handed by his companion and looked at it carefully over and over again, "There is nothing fancy about this style, we can also do it, the key to building firearms must be careful and careful, and we can't be sloppy at all. ”

Hearing this "can be built", Wang Tong's heart was already very pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile:

"You don't need to worry about the silver, make a list and find Tan Jiang or Zhang Shiqiang to buy it!"

Happy is happy, but the money still can't be spent indiscriminately, after making a list, Wang Tong has to find someone who knows how to take a look, and he won't let them buy it themselves.

The time to accompany the Wanli Emperor could not be delayed, and Wang Tong had to return to the city as soon as possible after the blacksmith shop finished the delivery.

When I arrived in the city, it was already lunchtime, and when I changed into the dark blue robe and walked out of the house, I already heard the shouting and laughing of the delicious restaurant.

Every day at lunchtime, the mood of the teenagers is always very high, but Wang Tong has just left the house, but Lu Wancai has just dismounted from the intersection, chatting about the hem of the robe, and hurriedly ran over, and whispered when he arrived:

"Brother Wang, there was news from Zhang Ge's old mansion in the morning, saying that Zhang Ge's father died of illness, and he went there almost on September 25."

Wang Tong was stunned, it seems that this news has spread in Jingshi, and everything is going to be brought to the fore. Wang Tong already knew the news, but he didn't need to be surprised, nodded, and said:

"I already know that."

Seeing Wang Tongman's indifferent appearance, Lu Wancai hesitated, grabbed Wang Tong, and shouted in a low voice:

"Brother Wang, we also have to prepare for this matter, if Elder Zhang Ge is worried, then Gonggong Feng of the internal prison will also change, and we will also have trouble."

In Lu Wancai's heart, the biggest backer behind Wang Tong should be Feng Bao, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant supervisor, Zhang Juzheng is really worried about Ding Wei's mourning, I am afraid that Feng Bao's current power will also be shaken, Wang Tong and Lu Wancai's recent implementation of the Ping An brand has offended almost all the Qinglou and casinos in the Beijing Division, and those wealthy families behind them must not be happy, if the backer falls, then I am afraid that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and finally there is such a wealth today, but now there is a danger of disappearing, Let Lu Wancai not worry.

Wang Tong glanced at Lu Wancai and said in a deep voice:

"What can we do, the next thing is the stormy waves, and if we get involved, we will be crushed, what do we dare to do, let's watch from the side honestly!"

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Lu Wancai was very anxious, thinking that this little adult might not know what the consequences of this matter would cause, so he didn't care about anything for a while, grabbed Wang Tong's arm and hurriedly said:

"Lord Wang, if Zhang Ge is worried, how can Gonggong Feng's position be stable, if the big tree of Gonggong Feng is not stable, how can we people be stable, if we fall down, it will be crushed, Lord Wang, I received those tens of thousands of taels of silver some time ago, I don't know how many people want to skin our brothers and break their bones, we must make preparations!!"

Wang Tong looked at the anxious Lu Wancai, but couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted Lu Tongjuan's shoulder, the middle-aged man's face had turned purple, Wang Tong said leisurely:

"Who told Brother Lu that the younger brother is relying on Gonggong Feng behind him, whether Zhang Ge Lao Ding is worried or not, it must be an uproar, but this matter has nothing to do with us, who doesn't want to come to find fault with the trouble, and teach a lesson as usual, Brother Lu, don't say much, you can rest assured, the younger brother will go to the delicious restaurant to eat first."

Listening to Wang Tong's words, Lu Wancai was stunned, the purple on his face quickly turned into normal black and red, and Wang Tong walked away and he was still there stunned.

Since it doesn't matter if the eunuch Feng Bao is unstable, then who is Brother Wang's backer, Lu Wan didn't dare to think deeply, and he only felt dizzy and chaotic when he stood there.

I don't know why, there was silence in the delicious restaurant that was still boiling with the sky, and when Wang Tong entered the door, he saw Zhang Hongying pushing a cart with wooden wheels holding a dinner plate to supplement the meal.

Where Zhang Hongying walked by, all the teenagers were eating their meals in big gulps, Wang Tong sat down in wonder, watching Li Hutou also eat heavily, and did not say hello.

After a while, when Zhang Hongying finished cleaning up and pushed the wooden cart away, the delicious restaurant became noisy again, and seeing Wang Tong's surprised appearance, Li Hutou muttered:

"Sister Hongying is too powerful, now everyone is afraid of her, and they don't dare to have a little leftover from eating, otherwise, they will scold people in front of ......"

She shrank her head as she spoke, Zhang Hongying was already two years older than most teenagers, and girls were precocious than boys, except for Wang Tong, who was already sincere in mind and spirit, her existence was almost like the big sister of these teenagers in the martial arts hall, which made people respect and fear.

Looking at the appearance of the teenagers in the house, Wang Tong couldn't help it, burst out laughing, and hurriedly ate to cover up, and his anxiety and nervousness in the past few days have eased a lot.

Unlike the undercurrent turmoil a few days ago, after the news of Zhang Juzheng's father's death was officially announced, the entire Jingshi was quiet.

In addition to going to Zhang Juzheng's house to offer condolences and condolences in accordance with the rules of officialdom, every day they are on errands.

These people are all self-cultivation and surnames, and they don't go out, and they don't see outsiders, these bigwigs are like this, but the officials below are active frequently.

They have only recently learned the news, colluded with each other to inquire, and discussed privately, the big guys above are betting at this time, they are going to stand in line, standing right, and it is not a luxury to soar in the future, if it is wrong, it is inevitable that the career will be gloomy.

Even the business of the Qinglou and the restaurant with the Beijing division is exceptionally good, and those private rooms and private seats are all whispering there every noon and evening, and the officials who plan to plan their plans.

As for the places outside the Jingshi, it is needless to say that the officials who were placed everywhere by Zhang Juzheng and those who were blocked by these people blocked the official road, because some time ago Qingzhang land ate the lawsuit and the unlucky people, the thoughts are also diverse.

The outer court is like this, and the inner court is a different scene, the ceremonial supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, and the inner official supervisor are several important yamen, and everyone is a little more harmonious than before.

Among the celebrants, whether it was Zhang Cheng or a few eunuchs in the court, the slightly more important transcripts that could be forwarded by themselves in the past had to be submitted to Feng Bao to read the ruling.

Feng Bao was still far away, and he couldn't see that his biggest ally in the Outer Dynasty, Zhang Ju, was in danger of losing his position, and everything was business as usual.

The eunuchs were very polite, but at night, when all the masters who were waiting for them went to sleep, the scene was similar to the outside.

All those who were called eunuchs in the inner court were like the cabinet scholars and the six scholars outside, and they went back to each place, and they did not mention that Zhang Juzheng was about to be worried.

On the contrary, the people below are moving around very well, and everyone can see that if Gonggong Feng's position is unstable, who will be the person who will replace Gonggong Feng, Zhang Cheng and Gonggong Zhang are the companions of Long Live Lord, and they are the second person in the master of ceremonies, and they are likely to be replaced.

It's not appropriate to go to Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong now, but Zou Yi, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Prison Fourth Guard Battalion and Longxiang Zuowei, is Zhang Cheng's father-in-law's closest son, and he is kind and kind, so it is most suitable to move around his side.

But this father-in-law Zou also closed the door, went out to run errands in the morning, and was still running errands outside in the afternoon, and finally waited until the evening when people came back, and the small mansion where he lived was also closed.

The guard at the door was a little eunuch who was less than ten years old, called Zhao Jinliang, but the young man had an idea, whether it was giving silver or losing his temper, this little guy just gritted his teeth and didn't let people in.

Even the young eunuch of the direct palace was blocked from coming to the door, and it is said that he lost his temper and slapped the little eunuch a few times, and the corners of Zhao Jinliang's mouth were bloody, but he was still not allowed to enter the door.

When the top and bottom are pretending to be unfathomable or thinking they know everything, the Wanli Emperor is a little at a loss, his teacher, when the father of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the court, died, he also issued a condolence.

He also knew that officials would have to worry about Ding when they encountered such a situation, and they would have to leave their posts for more than two years, but what should Zhang Juzheng do if he left, Emperor Wanli was a little at a loss for a while, and for such a major event, as usual, the Empress Dowager Li would give him advice, and Feng Daban would also say a few words.

But this time, both the Empress Dowager and Feng Bao remained silent, even if Emperor Wanli intentionally mentioned it, the topic would be changed intentionally or unintentionally.
