The fire on the surface of the Qinhuai River is burning, reflecting the left near like day, the Qinhuai River used to be at this time, the formal sheng song and dance, the silk and bamboo melodious, but now it is extremely quiet, only the crackling sound of the wood burning and bursting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Tong was wearing a long robe, standing by the river with his back hand, looking at the flames of the river with a smile on his face, Chengyong Boyue Jiangnan beside him had a dark face, Bai Lanfang was burned tonight, it was no different from slapping him in public, this kind of humiliation was even worse than this.

But what can be done, hearing that Wang Tong came, Chengyong Boyue Jiangnan went to chat with Hu Zhizhong, and naturally also talked about the marriage of the Beijing Division, Hu Zhizhong said clearly, if he stayed in the Beijing Division after the marriage, it was really on guard, I am afraid that he would deal with it this year, and he could be released to do errands, although he did not want him to stand firm, but this is also for the long-term use of Wang Tong in the future.

As long as Wang Tong is in this position, the holy family doesn't need to say it, just say that his relationship with several big eunuchs in the inner court is enough to run rampant in the world, and he is still the No. 1 minister in Tianzi.

Such a person, how can Yue Yannan be offended, if it is really hard to stand up, it is not impossible to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

He was thinking nonsense here, but he heard Wang Tong say: "Uncle Cheng Yong, Nanjing City and Jiangnan are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Yue Jiangnan's body trembled, his body bowed down unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, why does Master Hou ask that?" ”

"It turns out that Uncle Cheng Yong knows about this, and I don't know if the nobles in Nanjing City know this."

Wang Tong said with a smile, the pillar on the first floor of the Bailanfang on the Qinhuai River was burned down, and the second floor also collapsed, Wang Tong nodded, turned around and walked towards the mount, and said: "Tonight is good, go home happy!" ”

Ignoring Uncle Cheng Yong, who bowed down there, and walked towards the mount surrounded by the guards, Zhang Liansheng was going to say hello to Yue Jiangnan with a smile, but after thinking about it, he also straightened his waist and left with Wang Tong proudly.

Until Wang Tong left, Cheng Yong Bo Yue Jiangnan wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned his head to look, I don't know how many people are in the distance, watching the excitement on the river, the fire in Bailanfang has not been extinguished, Cheng Yongbo turned his head and glanced at the steward, who was already trembling The steward immediately knelt down, Cheng Yongbo gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "This kind of trouble-making thing, catch it back and kill it!" ”

looked at Xiu'er who was standing on the side and looking at the fire, Uncle Cheng Yong scolded, and another mother-in-law stepped forward and persuaded Xiu'er to leave, Uncle Cheng Yong walked a few steps to the mount, and then he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what should I do next?" ”

"Look at the Duke of Wei, this Bailanfang has been burned, what do you have to do next, go back to the house, go back to the house!!"

………………

"Evil animal, Jinyi Wei Qianhu invited Shangguan, now in this city, who else can he feast, you don't know how many taels of meat you have, go over there to play prestige!!"

In the main hall of Wei Guogong Xu's house, Xu Jiu, who suffered a loss on the white orchid boat, had not wiped the blood on his face, but he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word, his body was a little shaking, Wei Guogong Xu Zhitao strode around in the hall, his face was red with anger, and when he said that he was excited, he was going to kick him when he went up.

But he was hugged tightly by a person behind him, Xu Zhitao struggled twice and didn't break away, and heard the person behind him say: "Grandpa Huwei, the ninth prince is thin, don't break him!" ”

Xu Zhitao, the Duke of Wei, was told by the man behind him, so he stopped his movements angrily, shook his shoulders and scolded: "These evil animals are lawless, it's not the fault you are used to, and now that it's like this, the face of the Xu family will be lost!" ”

The person behind him is the head of the guard on the Wei Mansion, and the guard leader on the Wei Mansion is the commander of the generals, and at least there is a rank of general in the military department, and the military generals above the fourth rank can lead the troops directly to the actual post in wartime, so the status of the Xu family is also high, and he can be a counselor.

Seeing Xu Zhitao stop moving, the leader of the guards said in a deep voice: "Someone previously sent a letter saying that this Wang Tong had a secret purpose to spy on and suppress the nobles of Jiangnan, looking at his actions like this, I don't know if this will really exists, not that Uncle Cheng Yong's side also burned the white boat, which shows that Eunuch Hu doesn't want to come out at all, this is even more circumstantial evidence, grandpa, you must be careful to deal with it, don't let the Xu family suffer an unwarranted disaster!" ”

Xu Zhitao hesitated there, sighed, and said dejectedly: "This Wang Tong is too deceitful, let this prince go to his door tomorrow to beat this evil animal, in this way, where is the face of our house, it is really ......", speaking of this, he sighed again, and the leader of the guards glanced at Xu Jiu, who was kneeling there and did not dare to raise his head, and said: "Grandpa, after all, it is to smoke fifty whips and suffer a little flesh and skin, if Wang Tong says fifty boards, then it is really to kill people, and this Wang Tong will always go to Songjiang after all, won't be delayed in Nanjing for too long, and the grandfather will follow him and let him go here, otherwise he will really let him not leave in Nanjing, and he will be in trouble! ”

Seeing Xu Zhitao's cautious expression, the leader said again: "Wang Tong is gone, the Xu family is still the Xu family, if you really want to make some trouble, the Xu family is the same as those nobles in Jingshi, then," Xu Zhitao nodded with a calm face.

The area around the inn where Wang Tong lived was originally deserted because of the arrest of a spinner, but after punching the little grandfather and burning the white boat, when the sky was bright the next day, all kinds of people gathered.

This time, everyone did not dress up in disguise, they all came over in the open, some of them were soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, some were officials of Yingtianfu, some were officials of the six yamen of Nanjing, and there were cadres dressed as servants of wealthy families, all looking around, and what they were waiting for there was very simple.

Last night, there were rumors on the Qin River, saying that Wang Tong asked Wei Guogong to whip the ninth prince of Xu Mansion at the door of his residence this morning, everyone has to see how Wei Guogong's family will react, Wei Guogong is a nobleman, he expressed his position, and everyone has a judgment in their hearts.

People outside gathered, Wang Tong's guards also opened the door of the inn, and they could see that someone had moved the Taishi chair and placed it in front of the door, it seemed that Wang Tong was going to sit here and wait to see the whipping outside.

Some people also muttered in their hearts, Wang Tong has prepared so much here, and if Wei Guogong doesn't come, wouldn't he slap himself in the face, and some people have the intention of watching jokes.

When the sun just passed the city, the Xu family's team really came, and there were not many people coming, more than a dozen guards surrounded Wei Guogong, and a carriage pulled a person.

There was silence on the street that was originally a bit noisy, and everyone watched Wei Guogong, whose face was sinking like water, dismount at Wang Tong's residence, and then dragged Xu Jiu out of the carriage.

"Wang Tong has seen Wei Guogong!"

This grade is poor, Wang Tong greeted politely in front of the door, Xu Zhitao nodded, and said: "Yesterday, the child behaved badly, it was really a loss of my father's face, today I will teach him a lesson, and let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick in the future, according to Lord Wang's instructions, whip this evil animal fifty whips!" ”

As soon as this order was given, the general of Wei Guogong stepped forward to hold down Xu Jiu, took off his shirt, picked up the whip and whipped it, this pampered person with fine skin and tender meat, a whip went down to be bloodstained, five or six whips were drawn, it was bloody, and Xu Jiu had no patience, he had already howled like a pig, and after fifty whips, the howling sound was weak.

The generals looked at Xu Zhitao, Xu Zhitao looked at Wang Tong again, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, Xu Zhitao waved his hand, and two more Lang hurriedly came down from the carriage and took medicine for treatment.

Xu Zhitao, the Duke of Wei, clasped his fists there, and said coldly: "I heard that Lord Wang is going to leave for Songjiang tonight or tomorrow, so I won't send it!" ”

"Don't work for grandpa to send it away."

Having said this, there is no need to say any more, Xu Zhitao snorted coldly, turned his head and left, and helped Xu Jiu, who was drugged, into the carriage and walked away.

Although he left, after all, he whipped his son dozens of times according to Wang Tong's request, and what this means is really self-explanatory. When Wei Guogong and his party had not left, the people who came to see the wind had already begun to disperse, and they had to run back to report the news as soon as possible.

Unlike others, Yu Qingguo, Zhang Liansheng, and Meng Xianhui were called yesterday, and they saw the scene where Xu Jiu was beaten, Zhang Liansheng's chin was raised a little, and his panting was rough, Yu Qingguo's face was gray, as if he was more than ten years old, and Meng Xianhui was still indifferent.

"Master Hou has to have breakfast before meeting guests!"

Wang Tong's guards replied very simply, but the three Qianhu didn't dare to complain, and they didn't even dare to have any impatience, so they just bowed down and waited there.

"Yu Qingguo, you are from Wei Guogong, but your master also knows the proportion, although you are slack in this position, but you have not made any big mistakes, in the future, you must weigh your mind clearly, it is Your Majesty who gave you this errand of Yulu, not Wei Guogong, and you will work hard in the future!!"

After Yu Qingguo heard this, he didn't dare to say more, knelt down and kowtowed to lead the order: "I must do it according to my humble duties, and live up to Du Hao's teachings!" ”

"Zhang Liansheng, you are a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, your father and uncle are all loyal martyrs, don't fall into your family's loyalty and righteousness, take care of the things that should be managed, and do this errand well!!"

Zhang Liansheng knelt down there and kowtowed a few times, and agreed loudly, and finally Meng Xianhui, this person still looked indifferent, and looked like a rule, Wang Tong looked at him and smiled, and said: "I can't figure out the roots of you now, we don't want people like this who can't figure out where you come from, from now on, you will be expelled from Jinyiwei, and your thousands of households will be managed by Zhang Liansheng."
