Chai Fulin, the owner of the Tonghai Inn, had no smile on his face, and strode with a gloomy face, and the interesting thing was that the long follower who led the way in front of him also had a gloomy face, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"Boss Chai, my adults are not very happy, you just broke in, the little ones can't do it, you are not so unreasonable!"

Chai Fulin didn't answer, and the porter said it a few times along the way, and finally made Chai Fulin impatient to listen, stopped and said coldly:

"I have a lot of silver for you, but I didn't bring any silver this time, so I showed Lao Tzu's face!?"

"Boss Chai can't say that, the rules are the rules"

Halfway through the words, Chai Fulin raised his foot in the back, and directly kicked the porter to the ground, and the porter lay on the ground in a daze, and when Chai Fulin walked up to the main courtyard by himself, he shouted angrily there:

"The surname is Chai, you dare to beat me in the mansion, see if you can enter this gate in the future."

This Chai Fulin walked into the main courtyard, Panda and Wan Dao had already walked out of the house and came down the steps to greet him, both of them had official status, although this businessman was rich, but his social status was the lowest, at this time Chai Fulin should kowtow, but coincidentally, the porter had just caught up, and his face was full of grievances and complaints:

"Master, Boss Chai didn't think the little one was respectful and polite enough, scolded the old man for not disciplining him, and beat the small one."

Looking at Panda and Wan Dao who came out, Chai Fulin didn't even arch his hand, and said in a cold voice as he walked towards the house:

"Such an inadequate killer, if it were my slave maid, he would definitely break his hands and feet and be thrown on the street to die!"

Chai Fulin passed, Wan Dao hurriedly turned around to follow, Panda was stunned, pointed to the porter who had found that something was not quite right, and shouted:

"Someone, someone, break this shameful killing and throw it to the north gate!!"

After speaking, he ignored the porter who was slumped on the ground, turned around and followed quickly.

Someone outside had already taken the porter away, and the voice of the porter shouting for mercy outside came into the room, but no one paid attention to it.

Chai Fulin didn't sit down after he came in, and after he entered the room, Li Dameng, the general sitting on the seat, also got up and greeted him with a fist.

"Boss Chai, things are like this, what should I do, I don't have a way to deal with it after thinking about it, I really don't know how to do it!"

The eunuch Wan Dao walked into the room and said eagerly, Chai Fulin's face was gloomy but he didn't speak, and when Panda also walked in hurriedly, Chai Fulin said out loud:

"What to do, I have nothing to do, according to the past, there are still officials on the official, no matter how disobedient the one who comes here, he will take the tube above him, and then I don't want to do much, this bow incense more than 6,000 people, and eat the rice on the surface of the Cao Canal, if you touch them, at least it is a popular uprising, involving Cao Yun, that is a big deal, no one wants to touch this hornet's nest, pinching his nose and passing, but this young master is leaning on the sky"

General Li suddenly interjected:

"The general's soldiers and horses can go to Jinghai or Beitang, and the noise in the city can be dispersed before the soldiers and horses come back."

"It's so easy there, what about the trouble now, he has nearly three thousand young men in his hands, and there are more than a thousand soldiers here, just outside the city, how long does it take for the incense people everywhere to gather, isn't that the meat sent to his mouth, alas, think about it, this little thief came to Tianjin and did everything, every step is in the clear, but it is in accordance with the rules, so that you can't find fault, this step by step, it comes to this situation, he is an official, he uses the royal law, he takes a step, we can only take a step back."

Listening to what Chai Fulin said, Panda was a little depressed, leaned back in his chair and said:

"Wouldn't that be done nothing, let him be bullied step by step."

"Naturally, the matter of burning incense and silver inside and outside the city has been spread outside?"

"No, something happened to a few people who wanted to sue."

Listening to Panda's answer, Chai Fulin lowered his head and took two steps forward, raised his head and said coldly:

"When I came here this morning, I have heard that the shop that does not burn incense should hang a peace sign, and the silver paid is a quarter of the incense, and Jinyiwei collects money from the good people, what kind of rule is this, Lord Pan, Gonggong Wan, you wrote a letter and passed the news to the Jingshi, Fanzi harassed the good people, and extorted the people's money, which has always been the favorite of the imperial historians, let them make trouble, and things will naturally be easy to do."

Panda nodded, and Wan Dao, the eunuch on the side, hesitated and said:

"Boss Chai, since the time of Jiajingye, the people have been in trouble, and they are afraid from top to bottom, the year before last, the palace sent them to Changzhou, and the taxes of the workshops were more ruthless, and as a result, the families went to the streets to make trouble, and the unlucky ghost was immediately recalled to the Beijing Division, and was sent to the Huanyi Bureau on an errand, so that the bow of the boat was so troubled?"

"No, at this time, there are many ships coming from the sea, and those Fujian boats can't be delayed, otherwise we won't be able to deal with it."

While he was talking, there was a housekeeper outside who reported loudly:

"Master, the urgent letter sent by Gao Tongzhi of the Qing Military Department said that it must be delivered to you, Master!"

Panda was a little puzzled, and hurriedly agreed, and as he spoke, the door opened, and a servant ran in, first kowtowed respectfully, then handed over the paperwork, and said there:

"Master Pan, the urgent letter sent from Texas, my lord hurriedly transferred it to you, the fleet of the first assistant Zhang Ge and Lord Zhang has already left Shandong, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Tianjin in three days."

Panda opened the official document and glanced at it a few times, then looked up and said to the butler:

"Reward him with two taels of silver."

The messenger went out, the door was closed again, everyone in the room looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Panda shook the newspaper in his hand, and said boringly:

"Gonggong Wan, let's collect the inspection entrainment on the river first, don't block the way for Zhang Ge Lao to return to Beijing, General Li, didn't you say that General Qi will also come to greet him this time?"

Chai Fulin showed a smile on his face, clapped his palms, and said:

"Good! When Zhang Ge Lao came back, the thief could be quiet for two days, and when Zhang Ge Lao returned to Beijing, the imperial historians and officials would also make a fuss, you must know that the ministers of the court and the central government have no good impression of this Wang Tong, after seeing this thief's bad behavior in Tianjin"

Everyone in Tianjin feels a little trance, and people inside and outside the city know that there is a taboo over the years, that is, don't offend the bow incense, otherwise the family will be ruined.

But when I got up in the morning, after a short period of chaos in the city, there was suddenly no trace of the bow incense in the city, and the brocade guard, who had always been considered a wreck and no one could afford to look down on, quickly took control of the whole city in this morning.

The habits that everyone has developed in the past few years are gone, and everyone naturally thinks it is very weird, but if you think about it, no one thinks it is bad.

The people are less bullied by those rampant and domineering incense people, and the store does not have to pay any high incense silver, there are many benefits, and who thinks this is not good.

"My lord, the scoundrel ruffians in the city who took advantage of the fire to rob have arrested a total of seven people, how to deal with it, please command!"

The battalion officer of the first battalion said to Wang Tongyu.

In the morning, the Jinyi guard broke into the city, and several streets were launched at the same time, although it was said that it would not disturb the common people, but this kind of knife fighting would inevitably make people panic.

However, there were also some scoundrels who felt that they were going to make trouble, so they actually took weapons and began to rob while the fire was burning, but this kind of thing was already expected by Wang Tong, and the cavalry patrolled along the street, and when they encountered this kind of chaos, they were directly arrested.

Everyone also knows how to look at the style, and after catching a few, the rest scattered in a hurry, and honestly stayed at home and didn't dare to go out.

"Broke his hands and feet, dragged to the Qing Military Hall by horse and handed over to Tongzhi, these civil affairs are all under his control!"

Wang Tong sat in the main hall and looked down at the bookcase, and replied absentmindedly, but the battalion officer standing below did not care about Wang Tong's mental state when he gave the order, gave a military salute, and strode down.

Seeing that Wang Tong was in the wrong state, Cai Nan on the side said a little cautiously:

"My lord, there is news from the Qing army Tongzhi, Zhang Ge is going to Tianjin in the future, do we have to make preparations here?"

"No, Lord Shoufu doesn't have a good impression of this official, what to do when you meet, the account of the Ping An brand must be sorted out before dark, calculate how much silver can be collected in the first three months, and stamp the seal of our thousands of households, be fast!"

Listening to what Wang Tong said cautiously, Cai Nan got up from the bookcase on the side and agreed, and before he sat down, Wang Tong said again:

"Each battalion involved in the operation called a few people and dictated the situation today, or you recorded it, or found a writer to write it down, and this should be done before dark."

This assignment is too urgent, Cai Nan glanced at the sky outside, hurriedly confessed, and walked out of the house to arrange, Wang Tong patted the table, and also got up and shouted outside:

"Prepare the horses, prepare the horses, go to the barracks outside the city!!"

"What is being done in the city today, the old man has already heard from the boys of the Tan family, you have fought well, and this soldier has also been trained. ”

Yu Dayou took a sip of tea and praised with a smile, Wang Tong stood beside him and said with a smile:

"There are just some thieves in the city, if the soldiers and horses we have trained can't even sweep them clean, then it's really better to jump into the sea."

"You are not sitting in the city, hurry over and have something, don't talk to the old man about it, just say it!"

"Zhang Ge said that he is going to go to Tianjin in the future, and General Qi is also going to come here to correspond, Lord Yu and General Qi are familiar with each other, can you help me ask for something?"

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Yu knows that the cannon is being cast here, but there are gunners who have cannons but don't fire cannons, and I want to borrow a team of gunners from Lord Qi Jiguang, and I have to ask Lord Yu to help make peace!"

"Cast cannons, but there is no one who can fire cannons?"

Yu Dayou was stunned for a moment, and laughed violently, Wang Tong was a little embarrassed, he also remembered today, Yu Dayou's laughter stopped, but his brows furrowed, and he asked:

"The old man also thinks this thing is strange, the brocade-clothed army doesn't have to defend the city or fight in the field, what are you doing with cannons!?"
