Chapter Seventy-One: Quan Gelding Comes to the Door Again
"According to what Brother Li said, those people in the small martial arts hall will go to the Beijing Outer Guard to find it, the military family over there, the eldest son is a soldier, and the second son and the third son are often each landed, these people know how much to do military affairs, know the rules, and it is easy to practice, take the silver and go to find it tomorrow, let alone practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, just say that the city will recruit people to work in the nursing home, remember to wear official uniforms and go over with the waist card."
Wang Tong took out two hundred taels of silver from the silver box and handed it over, he tried not to let his sorrow show on his face, Bai Yueli had wanted Lu Wancai to ask about the He gold and silver booklet, who would have thought that Lu Wancai said that now the He gold and silver are guarded by the cronies of the palace Yin Huangsen, and he has not been able to ask.
and asked Wang Tong if he could ask Gonggong Feng to deliver a message, if not, it would be good to let Gonggong Feng from the internal official supervisor say hello.
But Wang Tong went to the construction site every day, and now even Xiao Cai couldn't see it, and when he asked about Grandpa Zou, everyone was either hesitant or didn't know at all.
Wang Tong is already a little anxious, if he wants to complete this case, it is impossible to rely only on his position as the general banner of Jinyiwei, and he must rely on the help of the palace, but now it seems that he can't borrow anything.
As soon as he accepted the silver, someone knocked on the door outside, Zhang Shiqiang hurriedly got up and opened the door, but at first glance it was a eunuch wearing a python red robe, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and a hundred household clothes, but a man in a blue robe outside, and two generals in armor.
Jinyiwei's clothing is red and yellow, which means the Son of Heaven's personal guard, and the blue robe is also Jinyiwei, but it is a very special one, that is, the Jinyiwei belonging to the East Factory.
Dongchang is led by the eunuch admiral who ranks second in the ceremonial supervisor, and now this position is concurrently held by Feng Bao, according to the establishment, the Dongchang is a subordinate official, and the second and third status is to be in charge of the punishment of a thousand households and a hundred households, one person each, are transferred from Jinyiwei, since Chengzu Zhu Di established Dongchang, the original rotation has long become hereditary, because the status of Dongchang is towering, the status of this thousand households and one hundred households in Jinyiwei can almost compete with the commander.
In order to show the difference in the status of the two sides, the Jinyi guard who was on an errand in the East Factory not only dressed according to the original clothing number, but also put on a blue cardigan coat to show the difference.
As for the two generals in armor, they have excellent armor and a fierce temperament, and I am afraid that only one soldier and horse in the Beijing division can have such a ...... The eunuchs with red robes and python patterns, the eunuchs wearing this dress will not exceed twenty people in the palace, they are all big eunuchs, Zhang Shiqiang, who opened the door, was already stunned at the door, he has never seen so many big people appear in front of him since he was a child.
He blocked the door, Zhang Cheng frowned and pushed him away, and walked in with the people behind him, Zhang Shiqiang was shocked, and then he saw that the dark street was full of people.
"It turned out to be Father-in-law Zhang, and it was rude to fail to greet him from afar."
Wang Tong, who had not seen the powerful in the palace for a few days, suddenly saw Wanli's companion Zhang Cheng appear, and he was happy and excited in his heart, but he still had to make a steady appearance, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists to greet him.
Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said quite kindly:
"The Queen Mother is really discerning, Wang Tong, you have made a situation in the past ten days, and organized a group of useful people, which is indeed good."
Hearing the praise of the eunuch Zhang Cheng, Wang Tong was also a little puzzled, but he also knew that he had done these things, and even the people he recruited would definitely not be able to escape the observation of people in the palace.
While he was guessing, Zhang Cheng had already sat down and said in a solemn voice:
"Later, the martial arts hall will be opened, and some things will be explained tonight, Wang Tong, you sit down and listen carefully." Wang Tong humbly said a few words, and sat down opposite Zhang Cheng generously, Zhang Cheng felt normal, but the Dongchang Hundred Households and the two generals were wide-eyed, an ordinary Jinyi Guard's general banner, at a young age, actually dared to sit down so generously in front of Gonggong Zhang in the palace, and Gonggong Zhang was not angry, what kind of person is he.
As for Zhang Shiqiang's body, he was a little weak, and he was frightened on the one hand, and he was glad on the other hand, he was with the right master, how good this master was, he couldn't see through it at all, just like a person at the edge of deep water, he only felt panic in his heart, and forgot to speculate on the depth.
Zhang Cheng waved his hand, and the Dongchang Hundred Households walked over and drove Zhang Shiqiang out of the door, and when the door was closed, Zhang Cheng spoke:
"Originally, Gonggong Feng and Zhang Ge Lao meant to select the children of noble officials to accompany them, but the Empress Dowager felt that such experience was insufficient, so she specially ordered the priest to take the lead in selecting 100 young and strong children from good families in Zhou County near Beijing, and recruited them into Beijing in the name of martial arts, and served the saint to practice his body."
Wang Tong groaned and asked:
"Father-in-law Zhang, can the identity of the saint be kept secret, there are two children on the younger side, and they also want to be sent in to study together, I don't know if it is possible."
"One is Li Wenyuan's only son, Li Hutou, the son of a good military family, this child can, who is the other?"
Sure enough, he was monitoring himself, but he knew Li Hutou and didn't know Zhao Jinliang, that is to say, he didn't know about Zhao's shopkeeper's family?
However, it didn't seem appropriate to talk about this matter at this time, Wang Tong suppressed the doubts in his heart and replied in a deep voice:
"It's a small neighborhood, both parents died, and it's pitiful to be only five years old, and he doesn't even have a smile in every day, so it's better to make up for it to find him some playmates."
Zhang Cheng groaned, turned his head and instructed the 100 households in the East Factory:
"Xue Baihu, wait for someone to check on this child, if there is no problem, come and tell our family and make up the name."
That Xue Baihu bowed respectfully to receive the order, and Zhang Cheng turned his head and said:
"Among the children, there are twenty people who grew up in the palace, and the reassuring people selected by Gonggong Feng and our family have a shelter for the saint, and secondly, things are more convenient."
The identity of Emperor Wanli is extremely important, this naturally cannot be neglected, and it is also necessary to do a good job of protection in the palace, Zhang Cheng pointed to the hundred households and the two generals and said:
"In the future, the scope of South Street and the surrounding two streets will be in charge of this Xue Zhanye of the 100 households in Dongchang, these two are Deng Pu, the battalion officer of Long Xiang Zuowei, Hu Qi, the deputy battalion officer, and 1,500 people from Long Xiang Zuowei will be transferred to Nancheng here, Wang Tong, you can get to know them."
Dongchang sentenced 100 households, this is already a powerful person, the two battalion officers of the left guard of Longxiang are not ordinary generals, the four battalions and the warrior battalion under the imperial horse prison are the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, outside the upper twelve guards of the imperial city of the garrison Beijing Division, defend the core area of the Ming Dynasty.
The most well-equipped, the most well-trained, in all the battles to defend the Beijing division and the rebellion, have made great contributions, have extremely strong combat effectiveness, can be a battalion officer in the four battalions and the warrior battalion, and let them out, at least he is also a real general, and it is not uncommon to be a general soldier.
Sure enough, the Son of Heaven left the palace, which seemed to be indifferent, but the mobilization of soldiers and horses, internal security, and everything was perfect.
After Wang Tong heard the words of the eunuch Zhang Cheng, he hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists at the three over there and said:
"In Xia Wangtong, I will ask the three adults to take care of it in the future."
The status of the two sides is actually very different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is heaven and earth, but Wang Tong just sat opposite the eunuch Zhang Cheng, but they were standing behind him.
With this relationship, who would dare to look at this little general flag, the hundred households and the two battalion officers hurriedly bowed and saluted back, and said in unison:
"Lord Wang is polite, I will ask the adults to help me in the future."
"This is all known, the matter of the Long Live Lord here, there are only a hundred people in the Jingshi, the stakes are very important, the slightest mistake is the sin of killing the head and exterminating the clan, do you all know it?"
"Thank you for Gonggong Zhang's teachings, (the lower officials) will know the benefits and disadvantages at the end."
Wang Tong originally wanted to sit down, but he could only bow down and receive the teaching, after speaking, Zhang Cheng waved his hand, and the 100 households and the two battalion officers said goodbye again, and then walked out of the house.
The 100 households in Dongchang and the battalion officers of the four major battalions are all big people who tremble around when they stomp their feet in the Beijing Division, but in front of Zhang Cheng, the most core role of the Ming Dynasty, they are still driven to shout like a house slave.
When the people went out, the eunuch Zhang Cheng exhaled, with a little tiredness on his face, and said with a helpless smile:
"These big and small sacrifices in the womb, and the etiquette exchanges inside and outside, are really busy and anxious, or Wang Tong is at ease on your side."
Suddenly, the tone was a lot closer, these days were completely alienated by the eunuchs, but why is it so close today, Wang Tong was really worried, but he still stood up and bowed down and said:
"The responsibility is heavy, and there are many natural affairs, which is also the ...... of the holy family of Gong Zhang"
Flattery and flattery, this kind of thing is the same in the officialdom of the workplace, I used to chat and eat with my boss, and my boss said that he was busy, Wang Tong always replied like this, and every time it had a good effect. This time was no exception, Zhang Cheng was so deep, a smile appeared on his face, and then said:
"Xiao Wang, your eloquence seems to have been an official for more than ten years, but don't use it on our family, Gonggong Feng. Zhang Ge Lao, you can try it. ”
This is completely the meaning of his family's speech, Wang Tong smiled and smiled, Zhang Cheng sat up straighter, and said carefully:
"The outer ring is the fan of the East Factory, and then the outward is the soldiers and horses of the four battalions, if something really happens, as long as you can withstand a stick of incense, five thousand soldiers and horses can arrive, but Wang Tong, you must be a good personal guard here, the head of the martial arts hall, you one, Li Wenyuan one, the palace is also ready to send five people over to fill the position, and remember, if something happens, you sacrifice your life to help and die, the family will be prosperous and rich, if it is the other way around, our family's words do not need to be too clear."
"The words spoken by my father-in-law are all words spoken by my closest relatives, and the little ones are remembered in my heart."
"The Queen Mother and the Holy Lord have taken a fancy to you, the sky-high wealth has come to your eyes, you can calm down these words, you know what to say and what not to say, this is good, our son Zou Yi has also told you some things, our family and you are not outsiders, long live the Lord came here to start a fresh, but you can't let him have this mind, you have to stutter it...... They are all children who don't know the saint, so that the saint also feels that he is a common man, the emperor in the palace, and he comes to the martial arts hall to be a commoner, which is like acting, and he will not be tired for a while......"
Wang Tong lowered his hand and listened carefully, but sighed in his heart, the ancients really couldn't underestimate the things they thought, this Zhang Cheng had completely thought of them, and said them more thoroughly.
"It's always right to send a cronie's son and nephew in, there will be no wealth in the future, our family also understands that Li Wenyuan has made meritorious contributions to the country with Qi Shaobao, and his child should also be made up, you just said that, but is there any reason?"
Tonight, Zhang Cheng is here to arrange the future defense and detailed rules of this martial arts hall, which is an official matter, and Wang informed that if he tells the difficulties of investigating the case, he will not get help, not to mention, but also to leave a bad feeling in the other party's heart.
Now that Zhang Cheng asked himself, it was the best, and he could also see that the emperor was outside, and everything in the palace was complete, and he would never dare to make a mistake.
It's also strange to say, Zhang Cheng is so hand-eyed, why doesn't he know about this case, why doesn't he know about Zhao Jinliang, Wang Tong suppressed his doubts and finished talking about the matter 1510.
After listening, Zhang Cheng smiled, pointed at Wang Tong and said:
"Wang Tong, I'm afraid you're going to get into trouble with this serious surname, but this serious surname can also make you successful, that kid is pitiful, make up for it, our family will send someone to ask about this matter, but it's just a scoundrel who runs a gambling house, and he can alarm so many characters to protect him, but I want to see what kind of character he is!"
After finishing speaking, he stood up and said easily:
"Find more useful help, practice is also an arm help, what can you do now, you are short of silver, just ask Zou Yi to withdraw it."
Wang Tong hurriedly got up to send him off, and when he turned around, his mood was already a lot easier, and Zhang Shiqiang, whose face was a little pale, followed in, wanting to speak to Wang Tong, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Brother Zhang, it doesn't matter what you see or what you know, the key is not to say it, do you understand?"
Wang Tong said with a smile, he was awe-inspiring in his heart, there were only those brocade guards and two messengers around him for some of his things, and there must be spies in the palace here, otherwise how could his every move be so clear in the palace.
Zhang Shiqiang was relieved because of this, and hurriedly replied:
"Don't worry, the small one understands the severity, this tea is cold, and the small one goes to the kettle water."
There was a lot of information in the conversation with Zhang Cheng just now, and Wang Tong squinted his eyes and sat at the table to reminisce carefully, not wanting to miss any points.
At this time, Sun Dahai hurriedly broke in, the door didn't have time to close, and he couldn't care about the cold wind blowing in, and said in a rough voice there:
"My lord, then He Jinyin has been released!!"
"It's the lantern at the corner of the street, even if that dog has long hair, I can recognize it!!"
Li Hutou immediately came in from behind and shouted, Zhao Jinliang he was holding was still very quiet, but his small body was trembling all the time......
