Chapter Eighty-Six: The West City is a Heaven

For each of the three days, half a day off and one day off, it is not tiring for the officers and soldiers who are accustomed to living a comfortable life, and few people complain about the day. On the contrary, life is full, there are fewer people drinking, fighting, playing cards and gambling, so the discipline of the barracks is getting better and better, and it is more like a standardized barracks. In the following days, Tang Tong ran and practiced with the soldiers in the playground in the morning, practicing knives, guns and sticks, resting in his own exclusive room at noon, and going to the city gate in the afternoon to inspect and inspect. In the evening, I went home to practice with He Wang, and my life was very regular.

One afternoon, three men with a wounded body and dressed in civilian clothes ran into the barracks. There were also a dozen or so fierce ruffians behind him, and when he saw that the military camp did not dare to rush in, he shouted outside, "Come out!" Come out! What is it to hide inside, it's the turtle king! It's a bad seed!", it has been shouting non-stop, and it has also attracted a large number of onlookers, who are looking forward to watching the excitement.

Tang Tong was in his office, and when he heard the noise, he walked out, and it happened that Yan Fengchun was going to see what was going on, so Tang Tong asked him to deal with it, and he returned to the office.

After Yan Fengchun asked about the situation, he asked the three people to be called over and brought to Tang Tong to introduce, "This is the new City Gate Captain!".

The three of them saluted together, "I've seen an adult.", Tang Tong was confused.

Yan Fengchun hurriedly explained, "These are the three soldiers who are on a long vacation.", after listening to Yan Fengchun's detailed explanation, he learned the specific situation, the three of them joined the group fight between the ruffians on the outer city side and the ruffians on the inner city side, there were too many people in the inner city, and these three people had to hide in the barracks because the palace did not get out.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, I saw that there was still a commotion outside the barracks. Tang Tong started and ran to the gate of the barracks, and reprimanded a leader, "Who gave you such courage to dare to come to the barracks to make trouble!".

The leader did not show weakness, "You are the green onion, dare to take care of your grandfather's affairs.".

In his own one-acre and three-point land, Tang Tong had never seen anything that dared to call his grandfather, he pulled out a knife from a soldier's hand, and cut at the man's head with a knife, and with a whoosh, the man's hair bun was cut off, and his face was covered with a cloak, how could that person have seen such a terrible god who dared to hurt the killer, he ran away, walked for a while, turned around, and shouted threateningly: "You wait!".

Tang Tong responded louder, "If you have the ability, I'll call your head over!", and the others swarmed to scatter. The officers and soldiers next to them were dumbfounded, their adults turned out to be more fierce than evil gods.

After being frightened for a while, the side watching the excitement slowly dispersed. Among them, a woman of nearly thirty years of age, who was born very feminine and very feminine, stood at the very edge and watched until everyone was gone, and only left with the last few of the people.

Tang Tong returned to the hall and ordered the three to be locked up. Yan Fengchun came over to plead, but was stopped by Tang Tong before he could speak, "I know what you want to say, he is on vacation, and the matter is not in the barracks. If they are men, they should not come to the barracks, here they can be protected, but they cannot be connived at, if they run to the barracks when they cause trouble outside, then the barracks is not a place of refuge, or a barracks?".

Yan Fengchun heard it reasonably, so he had to stop squeaking.

Tang Tong then asked about the situation of the two groups of people fighting, it turned out that this was the case, the leader of Xicheng was called Tian Gonghe, who opened a martial arts hall, and usually taught his disciples martial arts only once, because of his surname Tian, he had a nickname and a nickname Tim. When it was called, it became a piece of sky, and it was called a piece of heaven in the outer city. The leader of the inner city is called Guan Jingchang, who is a medical hall, with two shops, one for a medical hall and one for a medicine shop. He only prescribes prescriptions in the medical hall, he not only prescribes medicines, but also solves puzzles and relieves difficulties. The two sides are now fighting for Langfang Street, where there are many shops and the protection fees collected are considerable, and it used to be a piece of land in the outer city. There was a small-scale conflict more than ten days ago, and today they were beaten hard, and they only took sticks to save people's lives and were condemned by the government.

Originally, the Xicheng side opened a martial arts hall, and the power was stronger. I heard that there is now Cao Fu supporting the inner city, it seems that the inner city has lost all the time, and Langfang Street should be difficult to preserve. Tang Tong wanted to know more about the situation, so he asked; "What's going on with these three soldiers?".

Yan Fengchun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied; "The relationship between the former city gate captain and Yitian is good, Yitian needs manpower here, and the three of them were originally disciples of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, so they let Wang Ruosong, the second apprentice of Yitian, take the servants there, and allowed him to take a month's leave.", Tang Tong never thought that his predecessor would dig such a big hole for himself.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Tong strictly controls the requests for leave and vacation, and the people who go out. The three people could not be tolerated, so they immediately wrote a report and handed it to the city gate to lead the yamen, and applied for punishment to the three people, and they had no right to dispose of them, so as not to settle the truth. After handing in the report, Tang Tong was relieved. Tang Tong's primary task now is to rectify the military discipline and training, after half a month of governance, the military appearance and discipline have achieved initial results, there are no more people playing cards and drinking in the dormitory, from time to time there are still people consciously to train, training enthusiasm is high.

On the third day, Tang Tong returned to the office and sat down to read the newspaper, but he was too involved to notice it at all. Suddenly seeing a person standing in his room, Tang Tong stood up suddenly, stepped back to a place with a gap in the back, and waved his hand after seeing it carefully, "It turned out to be the owner of the pavilion!"

This person is Tian Gonghe, the two have met, and Tang Tong has also received the favor of the other party." Brother Tang is really not an ordinary person, but now he is the overlord of the capital and has been promoted to the captain of the city gate, why don't you know that he will be down, and he really doesn't treat me as a brother?".

Tang Tong hurriedly gave up his hand, "I took office in a hurry and didn't invite a banquet, otherwise how could I forget to add the hall master.".

Tian Gonghe laughed when he heard it, "I just said it casually, I knew that my brother was not a thing in the pool, it was me who was abrupt!".

"It's my faux pas! It should have been me who should have visited the owner of the Tim Pavilion a long time ago.", Tang Tong did not forget to bow down and apologize.

"Lord Tang reacted so quickly just now, and immediately retreated to the place where there was a roundabout, veteran!", Tian Gonghe immediately changed the topic, his face full of admiration.

Tang Tong was wondering how Tian Gonghe came in, and he returned to his seat and stretched out his hand, "Tian Pavilion Master!" You may be seated!".

Tian Gonghe was not in a hurry to sit down and said with a smile; "I'm here to ask Brother Tang for help.".

"Last time, the owner of the museum added a favor, and he helped me! If you have something, just open your mouth!".

Tian Gonghe was not in a hurry to say something, but he still said very flatteringly to Tang Tong: "Shibei three days, when you look at each other, Brother Tang is no longer the same!".

"The owner of the Pavilion is not an ordinary person! If you can come to me quietly, no one can do it except the Pavilion Master!", he said and waved his hands again, observing the change in his expression.

Tian Gonghe half-jokingly, "You're not afraid that I will hurt you!".

Tang Tong waved his hand and denied, "You won't!" First, you and I have no enmity in the past, and secondly, they will not make trouble for the people who let you in, they let you in because they know that you are here to intercede, not to kill.".

Tian Gonghe laughed a few times, sat down opposite Tang Tong, and said very elegantly; "Lord Tang is not an ordinary person, I am here to thank you for saving my apprentice!", after speaking, he handed over the two hundred taels of silver tickets.

Tang Tong blocked the silver ticket with his hand, "What does this mean, Lord Tian, I still owe you a favor?" Is your apprentice not my soldier, and it is not my duty to save him?".

Tian Gonghe nodded, but still asked puzzledly, "Then why did you lock them up?".

Tang Tong replied with a full expression, "I saved him because he was my soldier, and I locked him up because he pulled our Xidingmen military camp into it because of his own private affairs, if this is the case, how can I manage my subordinates!".

Tian Gonghe nodded again and again when he heard this, "Lord Tang is right, it's my negligence. Look at the old man's thin noodles, can you release them earlier.", said a few times.

Tang Tong politely stopped, and then said indifferently; "Since the owner of the Pavilion said so, it was supposed to be locked up for ten days, but it was locked up for three days, and I will release them tomorrow.".

Tian Gong and clenched his fists, "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! This silver ticket you hold.".

Tang Tong pretended to be angry and sternly refused, "I originally regarded you as a friend, if this is the case again, our friends will not have to do it!".

Seeing that this was the case, Tian Gonghe would hurt his feelings if he was polite, so he had to put away the silver ticket, "Then thank you Brother Tang!" Farewell!"..

Tian Gonghe just turned around and took a step, when he heard Tang Tong's voice coming, "If it is convenient for the Lord of the Tian Pavilion, can you live in our barracks, it is safer here!".

Tian Gonghe didn't expect Tang Tong to be so affectionate and righteous, he immediately turned around, he was grateful, "I have made up my mind for this friend, Lord Tang, if I am not happy outside, I will definitely come to my brother's place, thank you!", Tian Gonghe bowed long and turned around and left. Tang Tong originally wanted to send it off, but seeing that he was so resolute, he had to do it.
