Chapter Ninety-Seven: Convincing People Doesn't Have to Be Convincing
When he helped Tian Bo sweep the next morning, Wang Tong was a little dazed, and his response to Tian Bo's question was a little slow.
He was still a little confused in his mind, Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had run out of oil when he talked a few days ago, and it was said that he had been in a coma since he finished talking, and he relied on his family to pry open his teeth and pour a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup to hang himself, but he didn't stand it for a few days.
Wang Tong arrived, the entire Tan Mansion had fallen into sadness, Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had already prepared, all the things of the incense and candles in the mourning hall had already been prepared, and the people who went to the palace to report the funeral had also set off.
When he arrived at the mourning hall, Wang Tong knelt down and saluted the incense to the Ling seat of Tan Shangshu, who had seen him once, and the housekeeper Tan Jiang arranged things in an orderly manner despite the tears that could not stop flowing.
After Wang Tong put on the incense, the Shangshu family cried and thanked Wang Tong, in the middle of the night, the family wearing linen and filial piety cried and worshipped, Wang Tong also felt that his head was rising, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, which reminded him of the scene after the death of his father Wang Li, which was very sentimental.
After the return of worship, Wang Tong didn't want to stay here longer, and before he could say goodbye, he was stopped by Tan Jiang, seventeen men wearing family clothes, including Tan Jiang and the two recorded people I saw last time - Tan Bing and Tan Jian, first kowtowed to Tan Lun's spiritual position, and then turned to Tan Lun's family and kowtowed three more times.
A few of these men who looked very strong were already crying, and when the iron men were also crying, Wang Tong was moved when he looked at them, but these seventeen people turned to him and kowtowed three times.
What's going on? Wang Tong's head was a little dazed, and a middle-aged man who was guarding the spirit on the straw mat stood up and said astringently:
"Lord Wang, my father once entrusted Tan Jiang and other seventeen people to the adults, and when the white matter is over, the whole family will transport the body of the late father back to their hometown, Tan Jiang and other seventeen people are adults, these people have served my Tan family for many years, and I ask Lord Wang to be lenient."
After finishing speaking, he solemnly hugged his fists deeply, and the other family members on the straw mat bowed down, and Wang Tong had already thought of the reason as soon as he opened his mouth.
I didn't care much about it afterwards, and it was quite awkward when it came to the end, but now there is no reason to refuse, so I had to bear it hard, and there was no reason to stay here at this time, so I hurriedly said goodbye and went out.
General Tan personally sent Wang Tong to the door, and after Wang Tong got on the horse, he remembered and said:
"The white matter is done, the Tan family will come to me if they don't want your help, and I will arrange it for you when the time comes."
Tan Jiang's face was full of sadness, he just hugged his fists and agreed, and he didn't have too much respect, this master and servant are loyal and separate, naturally they can't be raised overnight.
Whether this is a useful role for himself, or to help the uncle or trouble to raise himself, everything is not clear, and now is not the time to say it, Wang Tong just sighed and said "Festival mourning" and left.
There were more and more people, and every Jinyi guard who came over greeted Wang Tong with a respectful and flattering attitude, Wang Tong smiled and nodded with his fists, and after the question was complete, these people were still unwilling to disperse, pulling Sun Dahai's men, as well as Zhang Shiqiang and Li Wenyuan, desperately saying good things.
Since Wang Tong served as the general banner in charge of everything in these hundred households, everyone has received more money, which is still secondary, this Wang Zongqi can do such and such a big thing at a young age, which is really jaw-dropping.
Now it's not a question of whether you can make some cheap money, but how to please him with such a great god by his side, even if it doesn't benefit from sharing, don't offend him.
Look at what this young master can do, it is really a finger that can pinch people to death, and some people are strange, Wang Li is just an honest man, he was lucky to go to Guangdong on a business trip, and he got sick and lost his life, not like he has any backing background, this Wang Tong still had the idea of beating his family property at the beginning, this blink of an eye, how did it get so big, of course, if you shouldn't ask, you shouldn't ask, you should please that you must please.
Liu Xinyong, another general bannerman, was infected with "wind cold" after his godfather Hu Daquan hanged himself, and he was "sick" at home, anyway, he made a lot of money, and he didn't expect to be an errand to support his family.
Greetings are polite, as if someone's family is doing a happy event, Wang Tong went to participate in the white event not long after last night, but in the morning this situation is in front of him, the contrast is really uncomfortable, so that people feel a little emotional.
While speaking, the door of the hundred households had been opened, but everyone's attention was focused on Wang Tong's side, and no one paid attention to the commotion.
Baihe Tian Ronghao stood at the door and was about to speak, but when he saw that the people below actually ignored it, his face quickly turned cold, and he was just about to get angry when he saw Wang Tong, who was surrounded by the crowd, and after a little hesitation, Tian Baihu's face also had a smile, and he greeted loudly and said:
"Mr. Wang, you're early!"
After being greeted like this, everyone hurriedly turned back, but when they heard Tian Baihu's cordial greeting, they understood what Wang Zongqi's status would be among these hundred households.
"Tian Baihu is early, my brother just has something to report!!"
Wang Tong is now very careful when he speaks, and after his status is high, he must also have a corresponding decent demeanor, and he is now talking to this Tian Baihu, the two sides are carried out with a relatively equal attitude, and the face is given to each other, saying this, Tian Baihu hurriedly made a hearty laugh and said:
"Come on, come on, come over and say, what are you doing so far away?"
Wang Tong greeted, several of Sun Dahai's subordinates carried three boxes to the steps, Wang Tong stepped forward in a low voice and said a few words, Tian Baihu nodded with a smile, Wang Tong also stood on the steps, turned around and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, everyone knows about the Ping An brand, right!?"
Wang Tong tossed such a big movement, how could everyone not know, hearing him ask, he hurriedly responded, Wang Tong said again:
"This Ping An brand has helped them so much, and the shopkeepers from all walks of life feel that they can't get by, so they specially sent some money to reward, which really bothered them."
Hearing Wang Tong say this, there was a quiet downstream, and a burst of laughter broke out, it was really hilarious to say such a thing that he knew so openly, Wang Tong waved his hand and continued:
"After hanging the sign, our brothers must keep them safe, and in the future, they are not allowed to go to them to deduct food and take, and they are not allowed to go to them to pick quarrels and provoke troubles, but we must maintain it with our hearts, everyone remember!!"
After being a little quiet below, he suddenly agreed, these gambling houses in Pingsuli don't give Jinyiwei these ordinary soldiers a little face, they don't have the money to get it, let alone disturb and deduct, and now they have silver to take, this is a great joy, and it should be bothered to take care of it.
Tian Baihu nodded with a smile in the back, which made the soldiers below feel more at ease, Baihu Tian Ronghao of course had nothing to say, six hundred taels of silver was distributed with him, even if he had a conscience, he could have more than two hundred taels in the account, and no one would push out the money that fell out of thin air.
After this incident, the Jinyi guards below couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow after seeing Wang Tong, Wang Zongqi not only has an amazing background, but also has a wealth of money, and hundreds of households are also strongly supported, what a hero! !
When they dispersed in front of the hundred households and returned, they arrived at the door of their house, but they saw dozens of people waiting in line with large bags and small bags in an orderly manner.
There are a few Wang Tong of these people who recognize it, it is the last time they recognized the door, the reason why the proprietor of the gambling house Qinglou waited in line here so well, presumably because he never saw those who came to probe his brain go back, think about what the hell did these two days, who would dare to be careless.
Seeing Wang Tong come back, these people immediately lost their rules, and surrounded them with a bang, all of them were extremely attentive, shouting loudly.
The things he said are the same, nothing more than that he has been entangled in the matter of falling stones from the sky and the dead people in his family, and he didn't have time to get this peace brand, which is really a sin that deserves death, and now that he is here, he is willing to spend more money to invite the brand back, ask for peace, and ask the adults to answer and other nonsense.
To put it bluntly, I am willing to give money, I am willing to give more money, I just ask you, Lord Wang, not to care, those who don't know are not to blame.
Wang Tong is naturally not to blame for the silver sent to the door, he still has to borrow these people to inquire about the news, but he has made an appointment with them one by one, and he will talk about it separately when the time comes.
Tossing up to now, the sun is already very high, and he will go to the martial arts hall in another hour and a half, but Wang Tong has no spare time, and he still has to take the pole to practice martial arts with Li Wenyuan.
In the afternoon, he was running and jumping in the martial arts hall with Li Hutou, and at this time, he had to learn skills with Ma Sanbiao and Li Hutou, Li Wenyuan's class was not much more exciting than in the martial arts hall in the afternoon, and it was also very boring.
Swing the unbladed single knife several times with a fixed motion, hold the heavy wooden pole high at the flat end for a certain amount of time, and sometimes help the sandbag iron bar on the pole and the single knife.
When practicing in this small class in the morning, Li Wenyuan was not as polite as in the afternoon, holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and whipped it if the action was slightly wrong, Li Hutou was okay, Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao were often beaten with red marks, which was very tragic, but Ma Sanbiao was good at martial arts, Wang Tong knew that he was learning the ability to save his life, and both of them gritted their teeth and persevered.
So every afternoon, Wang Tong appeared among those teenagers, always looking very different, and the others were full of vitality, only Wang Tong did not meet the silence and exhaustion of this age.
However, this afternoon, Wang Tong was not the only one with this expression, the little emperor of Wanli who walked into the martial arts hall with a bag of snacks on his back as usual also looked very unhappy.
