Chapter 70 The world is warm and cold, and people know themselves
handled the case of the seizure of He Jinyin, and the official Lu Wancai also took 60 taels of profits, and he was also quite hopeful for the next search, thinking that he could find out some money and divide it among everyone.
I didn't expect that the situation would change abruptly, and people would be let out, whether the money would be returned or not was a trivial matter, looking at the embarrassment of Yin Huangsen of Shuntian Mansion, the little one He Jinyin actually found so many dignitaries and nobles to intercede with him, and the ghost knows if he will bring trouble to himself after going out.
Huang Sen's slap made Lu Wan understand that something was really going to happen, I am afraid that the first person to be thrown out to bear the blame would be himself, and as for the promise of excellent performance in those three years, it was really impossible to do.
Now, the benefits have been reaped, and the disasters have also been broken, and if you want to protect yourself, the only hope is to hug the thigh of the little general flag, although the other party's eunuch backer is not very reliable.
Lu Wancai, the official in charge of the criminal name, was so frightened, not to mention Wang Si and Li Gui, who were actually in charge, after Wang Si heard the news, he immediately borrowed a horse and went straight to South Street.
When I arrived on South Street, there were several shops that were already open, and Li Hutou was holding Zhao Jinliang's hand and wandering on the street, Li Hutou kept talking, and Zhao Jinliang was silent.
Stopped and asked, Wang Tong and others have now gone to Juyifang, it is said that Zhang Shiqiang, the little flag who came back from outside the city, searched and found a secret grid.
Now everyone is an acquaintance, everyone stops, and Wang Si trotted into the back room.
"The little one thinks there is a secret grid here, but he doesn't dare to touch it, waiting for the adults to come and open it."
"The sea, the three standards, get out of the way."
Wang Si also squeezed in, it was the wing room where the bed was placed, the walls of this wing room were nailed to the wooden boards, and the wall inside was drawn by Zhang Shiqiang with bricks.
I knocked open the wooden board on the outside with an axe, but there was a one-foot-square iron box inside, and after moving it out, I smashed the lock on the iron box and ...... "This little Buddha statue...... The portion size is not light. ”
A palm-sized Buddha statue, after Wang Tong bought it, he probably judged that it was the texture of gold and silver, but what surprised him was that the style of this Buddha statue also had three small suns.
After reading it, he threw it aside, Sun Dahai and his subordinates came up to take a look, but they were a little disappointed, and someone muttered:
"It's less than ten taels, what's worth it?"
However, under this Sanyang Buddha, there was a thick booklet, which looked like an account book, and when Wang Tong picked it up, Wang Si, the official of Shuntian Mansion, came up with a look at the void and hurriedly told him about the yamen.
What, you want to release people? Wang Tong's face sank suddenly, and Zhang Shiqiang, Sun Dahai and others who were following him were also a little restless, they had been running errands in the Beijing Division for a long time, and everyone knew what it meant.
I didn't expect to arrest the owner of a casino, and I still need this trouble, it is nothing more than to compete with the power relationship behind it, Wang Tong asked in a deep voice:
"Then how long will it take for the gold and silver to be released?"
Master Lu said that it should be closed for at least seven days...... Lord Wang, Lord Lu also said that the brothers all took risks with the adults this time to solve the case, in case there is a trouble, the adults should not leave the brothers alone! ”
Wang Si was quite calm at first, but then burst into tears, Wang Tong tied up the booklet with a wrapper, waved his hand and said:
"Wang is not a person who ignores his brother, remember this sentence."
Isn't it just a competition for the relationship and backers behind him, thinking about those people in his store, Wang Tong sneered in his heart, full of confidence.
But there are really some problems with this He Jinyin, the gold Sanyang Buddha in the dark grid, as well as this booklet, and a small casino owner, even the Shuntian Mansion and the eunuch in the palace can't shut him down, this heaven and earth Sanyang Society, there are really some doorways, just fight, think about who is the biggest in the world.
Not to mention Wang Si's nodding and thanking to show loyalty, everyone was in no mood to continue to investigate, and stayed behind two people to guard the door as usual, and a group of people walked out, and when they walked to the door, Wang Tong said to everyone:
"Hide this matter from Xiaoliang, don't say anything, this kid is too serious."
Everyone nodded, and the two brocade guards who were left behind whispered:
"Speaking of which, we adults are only thirteen years old, and this is more than we think."
The words were heard by Sun Dahai, who was walking in front, and he glared back viciously, and immediately made them bow their heads and dare not say more.
Wang Tong did not lead everyone back to the store, but went to the construction site of the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, don't look at it, it is just across the street, and many people don't know that there is a lot of construction here.
The inner court personally supervised it, and a lot of silver was sprinkled down, the effect was really different, the demolition and leveling work was almost completed, and a layer of green bricks had been laid on the ground, and then it was covered with ash sand, and then compacted with a stone mill, which made the hardness of the ground similar to the bullet surname.
As for the greenhouse of the martial arts hall, the whole thing has been built, and people coming in and out should be doing internal decoration.
"Brother Li, in the future, this martial arts hall will ask you to be the head of the sect and teach the children how to fight this technique."
Wang Tong had already explained this matter to Li Wenyuan, Li Wenyuan looked at the venue here, nodded silently, Wang Tong said with a smile:
"It's enough to teach them some punches and kicks, I'll teach them how to train their bodies, and this killing kung fu is not necessary."
Speaking of this, he called Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang again, and said:
"We people, the security of South Street must be done, and we must also pay attention to this martial arts hall, and the two of you must think about how to be optimistic."
Zhang Shiqiang and Sun Dahai looked left and right, and immediately had a bitter face, Sun Dahai first said:
"My lord, this place is too big, it's not easy for our brothers to see this, and if you want to take care of South Street again, I'm afraid it's difficult."
Wang Tong looked left and right while speaking, and replied directly with a somewhat absent-minded look:
"This is not difficult, in addition to this martial arts hall that teaches children, we also have to open another martial arts hall that recruits young and strong people from good families, which is according to the general training of our army, isn't there a case of recruiting helpers by ourselves? Just do it! ”
In addition to their own subordinates, the powerful people of Jinyiwei can also spend money to hire people, similar to domestic servants, to help do some work, such people are called helpers, although they are not the staff in the establishment, but these people often do things more hard, and they are not afraid of death when fighting, most of the manpower is better than the genuine Jinyiwei, and when they hear Wang Tong say this, everyone has nothing to worry about.
Wang Tong kept looking and saw a little eunuch coming out of the shed in front of him, this person was black and thin, it was Xiao Cai who he saw in the tavern a few days ago, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Grandpa Cai, stay, stay!"
Seeing that it was Wang Tong greeting, the little eunuch surnamed Cai stopped, bowed down and said with a smile:
"Lord Wang wants to kill the little one, you can't afford to be called a father-in-law, just call us Xiao Cai."
Wang Tong smiled and clenched his fists, and still said politely:
"Grandpa Cai, I haven't seen Grandpa Zou here these days, I don't know if he's here today?"
Xiao Cai shook his head and said in a low voice:
"Gonggong Zou has handed over all the things here to the construction of the palace supervisor outside the palace, and he is also busy with important things in the palace, and he can't get out of this time."
"Will you come in a few days?"
"Probably not, Grandpa Zou can't be busy over there!"
After speaking, he bowed down with a smile, and then left quickly, Wang Tong also smiled and gave his hand, but he noticed that something was wrong, this Xiao Cai's attitude was respectful, but he was obviously alienated, as for Zou Yi's attitude, it was better like he was hiding from something, the only reason might be that he didn't check the Sanyang Sect that day, Zou Yi persuaded him not to care.
Maybe he really ran into trouble, touched something that shouldn't be touched, otherwise how could a character like Zou Yi hide...... "Dad, uncles, why did you come here, Xiaoliang and I are easy to find." ”
Li Hutou led Zhao Jinliang over with a reluctant face, and kept complaining:
"Lead Xiaoliang around, buy snacks for him to eat, tell jokes and tell stories, but he just doesn't laugh, it's boring, I'm going to practice martial arts."
Seeing that Zhao Jinliang was not interested in anything, Mu Mu's appearance, Wang Tong felt uncomfortable, for such a villain who had lost his conscience, he must be brought to justice and avenge Zhao Jinliang, he thought so, but he said with a smile:
"Then you go to practice martial arts, let Xiaoliang follow and watch, and we all follow along."
Since he can't wait for Zou Yi, then the surname Suo will go back and accompany Zhao Jinliang to talk, Wang Tong can think about it, and cause a big thing, as long as he waits until the sixteenth day of the first month, the martial arts hall opens, and then he will meet Emperor Wanli again, then everything will be easy to say.
If you have nothing to do, then go to Li Wenyuan's house, it is also the time of the New Year's Festival, there is nothing important, everyone went to Li Wenyuan's house with a smile.
There are a lot of stone locks, shelves and other equipment in Li Wenyuan's house, which is a small school for martial artists to practice martial arts.
Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao followed in front of Li Wenyuan, listening to this veteran with combat experience talk about his combat experience, and Li Wenyuan talked eloquently:
"At the beginning, the marshal of my family often exchanged letters with General Yu Dayou, discussing the experience of this fighting skill, and I often had to learn these skills and then teach other soldiers to follow the marshal......
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are both famous martial arts in the world, and they have been on the front line of the anti-Japanese war for a long time, and the martial arts tempered in actual combat are even more killing techniques.
(This is not fiction, at that time Yu Dayou studied the art of technical attack, and improved these things to teach the army, greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the army, and there is a saying, that Shaolin Temple sent monks to help officers and soldiers to exterminate the Japanese Kou, but the losses were heavy, Yu Dayou improved the Shaolin technique to become able to be used in actual combat, these monks returned to Shaolin, Yu Dayou's martial arts spread, this is the true ancestor of Shaolin martial arts today.) Wang Tong also occasionally heard all kinds of sayings, not to mention that Li Wenyuan's skills had been seen during street fights, and they were indeed powerful and practical techniques, and they really had to be studied hard.
Just about to ask, he should be behind him The sound of footsteps sounded rapidly, and then there was a muffled sound of a sharp weapon entering the wood, and when he looked back, it was Li Hutou holding a short spear about a foot taller than him, and he was piercing a wooden target.
The target was a wooden sign the size of a child's palm, with a red dot drawn on it, and Li Hutou's short spear had just been drawn from the red dot.
"Kung fu on the battlefield, if you don't have to be ambiguous, the tiger head has to pierce this wooden card five hundred times a day, if you can't stab it, you have to practice, and now it's finally a little bit of a look."
Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao both nodded again and again, this is real kung fu, but Li Wenyuan's sprint assassination, on the one hand, is to practice by himself, and on the other hand, it is to show off to everyone, and on the other hand, it also has the meaning of teasing Zhao Jinliang to be happy, but Zhao Jinliang is there with his hands on his cheeks, not knowing what he is thinking.
When he returned home, Wang Tongcai unfolded the thick booklet and recorded a person's name and numbers in the booklet.
Saying that it is a list is not like a list, saying that it is an account book is not like an account book, and it is not like a black record of bribing officials, because there are very few numbers greater than ten under each name, among which the number below He Jinyin's name is two, and these numbers add up to almost more than 10,000, even if it represents a certain unit of money, it is too small to be distributed to one person, and the total number is too large.
And there don't seem to be too high-level officials in this book, the six ministries and nine secretaries, the cabinet bosses, the twenty-four yamen in the palace, Wang Tong all know the names of some people and officials, and none of them are above.
I don't understand it, but Wang Tong knows that this booklet must be very important, otherwise it will not be placed in the dark compartment with an iron box.
In the next few days, every day was to learn something from Li Wenyuan, arrange for the guys and helpers who came back to prepare the materials for the opening of the business, and clean up the house.
There are ready-made buildings here, the courtyards bought on both sides have been expanded and rebuilt, and now the delicious restaurant has been changed into two parts, the original old store is smaller, and the new store is three times the size of the old store, and the tables, benches and tableware are all purchased from the palace, so it is conceivable that the business will increase exponentially when it is reopened.
What made Wang Tong cry and laugh even more was that the Shang Shan Supervisor actually sent two cooks and a supervising eunuch to help maintain the business of the delicious restaurant.
This news was heard in the words of Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the Wanli Emperor, and on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Cheng took a few people to Wang Tong's house.
On the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth days of the first month, there is no curfew in Beijing, and the palace and the government and the rich and powerful all pay to make lanterns, one to entertain the people, and the other is to show off their wealth.
These people under Wang Tong, except for Zhang Shiqiang, who remembered that he was a slave, the rest of the people couldn't be quiet when they had silver in their pockets, so they asked them to accompany and take Zhao Jinliang out to relax.
