Chapter 15 The Monthly Silver is full of scheming

Wang Tong turned his head to see Zhang Shiqiang with a worried look on his face, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he said first:

"Brother Zhang, do you know the mason, the carpenter, and the cook?"

In the past few days, Wang Tong has had too many strange actions, but this problem is normal, Zhang Shiqiang was stunned for a while, and nodded subconsciously, he is also the head snake in this area, and most of the three religions and nine streams have been dealt with.

Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Please ask Brother Zhang to invite all these people to the teahouse, I have a job for them to do, and the price is easy to say......"

The merchants of South Street are not welcome to have two Jinyiwei walking around the street every day, and customers and pedestrians always have a fear of Jinyiwei.

There is this overly enthusiastic little brocade guard walking back and forth, everyone feels that there are fewer guests, Wang Tong has been patrolling here for a few days, and the merchants have privately discussed, whether this is a new way to extort money, whether everyone wants to send some money, Wang Dacai will not continue to patrol and walk around.

However, it has been active for less than five days, and the next two don't know what they are doing except for seeing Wang Tong in the morning and seeing two people walking back after the order.

It's almost November, the weather is very cold, and this season is the most unsuitable for civil construction, but bricklayers, plasterers, and house-building helpers all go to Jinyi Wei Wangtong's side.

Several big trading houses on the street are relatively well-informed, saying that this little Wang has run many shops and warehouses these days, and bought a lot of bricks, tiles, and wood, as if he wanted to build a house.

Some kind-hearted people want to persuade, and some have complaints about Zhang Shiqiang, thinking that Wang Tong doesn't understand at a young age, and you don't want to persuade you as a pro-follower, this is just on duty, and you have to build a house, not to mention that it is not appropriate to build a house in this season, and it is not a matter for Shangguan colleagues to see it.

But Zhang Shiqiang was busy with his feet not touching the ground, no one could find it, and the scene of starting construction was also quite strange, looking at the renovation of the old mansion of the Wang family.

But what to do, no one can understand, before the start of construction, around the house are made of thick bamboo poles, with tarpaulins on the shelves, the outside looks like a big shed, but what to do inside, are covered by the tarpaulin tightly, all day long listening to the jingling in it, more and more curious.

It is also strange that the widow of Nama, a neighbor of the Wang family, has also been walking the streets and alleys recently, going to the homes of those lonely and miserable, and not even doing the work of sewing clothes.

Someone wanted to inquire, but Nawang Tong greeted everywhere, and he was not allowed to approach, otherwise he would be unwelcome, and the places where those craftsmen and laborers lived were also houses rented by Wang Tong on the opposite side, and the widow of Nama and those poor people were even more tight-lipped.

The more mysterious it is, the more curious everyone becomes, and even passers-by and customers have to point their fingers and guess what they are going to do when they walk there.

On the thirtieth day of October, it was the day of the month, but Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang had to show up, and it was also the rule of the past, and the two of them waited in the private room of the teahouse.

After a while, some of the shopkeepers of the merchants came in person, and some were the bookkeepers, who sent silver with a smile, and they could do business in Beijing, and everyone had relationships and backers, but they always bought a safe and convenient money, and everyone was not unwilling.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the silver sent by each family has some pennies and fractions, and they will not be found if they are found.

Wang Tong knew in his heart, this was an extra little account for himself, so he had to be polite, and when the money was paid, Wang Tong stood up and said:

"Wang and you have been neighbors for many years, and now they are here on an errand, and they have been taken care of a lot, and at noon Wang is in the revitalization building to do the east, banquet for the shopkeepers, and please enjoy the light."

After finishing speaking, he hugged his fists and turned around for half a circle, and then took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed them to Zhang Shiqiang, arranging for him to go to Zhenxing Building to book a position.

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that this little brocade guard wanted everyone to have a treat, and was ready to pinch his nose and endure it, who would have thought that he would actually take out five taels of silver, I really don't know what to do.

Tian Baihu's mansion usually does not allow the soldiers below to enter the military academy, but today it is different, Wang Tong and the subordinate who opened the door said, "Come to send October", and after the ceremony, they immediately put it in.

The house is vast, Wang Tong thought that he could see the old servant who got up early to sweep, but he didn't see a trace, and in the afternoon, Tian Baihu also came back from the Zhenfu Division and was waiting for him in the wing.

Wang Tong, who entered the door with silver and was good at observing others, keenly noticed that when he entered the door, Momoto Tian Ronghao frowned, and his face sank like water.

According to the rules, kowtow and give the silver box, Wang Tong said respectfully:

"Lord Tian, this is a member of October, a total of fifty-two taels, please check it."

Before coming, Zhang Shiqiang had dissuaded Wang Tong, because of the usual money, according to the rules, he kept his own share, and handed over the rest to Liu Xinyong, the general banner, and then Liu Xinyong handed it over.

But Wang Tong ignored this rule, he went straight to the door with silver, no matter ancient or modern, the boss is always disgusted with subordinates who break the rules, Tian Baihu called Wang Tong in, just to reprimand him and let him abide by his duty.

Tian Ronghao's brows furrowed, and he was about to scold, but he was stunned when he heard the number of Wang's report, and his mouth turned into a question:

"Is it only October? Did Liu Xinyong take it over there? ”

"If you go back to the adult, this is the usual filial piety of the families on South Street in October, and all the small ones will be sent to the adults and distributed by the adults."

Tian Baihu looked at Wang Tong, who was standing respectfully on the side, opened the iron box on the table, it was indeed fifty-one taels, and after a little pondering, he took out about six taels of loose silver, and said in a deep voice:

"This is your share this month, take it back!"

Wang Tong thanked him respectfully, stretched out his hand to take it, Tian Ronghao patted the table with his hand, hesitated and then opened his mouth to order:

"Let's do the same for the next month, and you will send it here, and this seat will distribute it."

Naturally, he respectfully agreed, hearing this order, Wang Tong smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that he had made the right bet, he was betting on the usual silver sent by Liu Xinyong to Tian Baihu, Liu Xinyong must have swallowed a lot.

This time his actions will inevitably make Tian Daren feel bad for him.

Liu Xinyong plotted to seize Wang Tong's family property, and Wang Tong took away his subordinate Zhao Guodong's errand, the relationship between the two sides can no longer be good, then Liu Xinyong, as the general banner, is condescending, and he doesn't know how many means to deal with himself behind his back, Wang Tong has never been in the habit of waiting to be killed, and he has to take action.

Tian Baihu's expression did not change, but he was very angry in his heart, as Wang Tong thought, Liu Xinyong did have a deduction, according to the rules, Tian Ronghao could get thirty taels a month from the usual practice of South Street, but in fact, Liu Xinyong handed over only twenty taels a month, this is only a piece of silver money in South Street, if you count other places, I don't know how many were stolen.

"Adult, villain has one more thing to report!"

Wang Tong opened his mouth again, Tian Ronghao took a breath to calm his mind, nodded his head, Wang Tong stepped forward respectfully and said:

"My lord, someone rents the house of a villain's house, flips over a shack, and wants to use this house to open a restaurant......"

"Our Jinyi pro-army also has to eat and sleep, so there is no need to report such trivial matters...... No wonder Liu Xinyong said that you are not doing your job properly and are building a house......"

Tian Baihu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt, but the meaning of the words still surprised Wang Tong's heart, and as expected, Liu Xinyong had bad intentions.
