Chapter 372: A Brief Conversation with the King

After leaving the Chen Mansion, Zheng Xiong was obviously in a good mood, and his face was full of smiles.

It is this move that makes others think crookedly, I don't know what good things happened to Zheng Xiong in the past period of time, the two lonely men and widows, so that they can have this expression.

Don't~

It shouldn't, it can't be.

"Master Hou, is it time to join forces in one place and continue to the next one, or do you divide your troops and go everywhere? Please also ask Master Hou to show it. ”

The sudden words made Zheng Xiong put away his divergent thoughts.

It happened to be in a good mood, Zheng Xiong said.

"It's getting late, divide the troops."

"And this situation just now is a false demonstration, so keep in mind."

After saying that, after a pause, Zheng Xiong relaxed the conditions.

"Today, time is a little tight, in this situation just now, you can let it go, first hit what you can fight, and wait until tomorrow if you can't!"

"Guys, fight quickly and close the team before dark."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Xiong was left with only Wang Tongzhou and a few entourages of the Terracotta Division.

Zheng Xiong didn't have the heart to hang out, turned around, and prepared to go back.

After what happened just now, Wang Tongzhou had doubts in his heart, and he was not in a hurry anyway, so he asked in a low voice.

"Master Hou, the cause of death of the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion is very strange, judging from the lower officials, I am afraid that it was not long after his death, so he just let it go?"

Zheng Xiong chuckled, not nosy.

"If the people don't raise it, the officials won't hold it accountable."

"The cause of death is strange, but since no one has any objections, let's take the liberty of interfering, in what name? Have you thought about this? ”

"Yes, Hou Ye is right, but the matter is too coincidental, he died just after he came, and he was very scary when he thought about it!"

Anyway, there is time, Zheng Xiong is in a good mood, and he doesn't mind chatting with Wang Tongzhou, so he continued as he walked.

"Either they committed something and saw so many of us coming, and they committed suicide in fear of sin."

"Either I have too many things, and I am afraid that I will be leaked and killed by the people in Chen Fuzhong."

"Of the two, Ben Hou prefers the latter."

Wang Tongzhou listened attentively and said with some curiosity.

"Why is Master Hou so determined?"

Zheng Xiong smiled heartily.

"Then what do you think Ben Hou is doing when he goes in!"

"Naturally, it's to hear the truth and the truth."

"As far as Mrs. Chen's deep and shallow Taoism, I tried it a little bit, and I tried it."

"You still want to use money to buy Ben Hou, is Ben Hou a person who can't stand the test?"

"You! If you are interested, you can check it out, and there are guaranteed surprises. ”

Wang Tongzhou was a little puzzled.

"Since Master Hou knows that he will find something, why don't he investigate it himself?"

Shaking his head, Zheng Xiong gave an answer.

"Ben Hou has done everything, what is the use of Yushitai!"

"That's not a dog with a mouse, it's nosy."

Wang Tongzhou smiled embarrassedly, you don't want to worry about it, let me worry about it, what do you think of me!

As if he knew that he had said the wrong thing, Zheng Xiong smiled apologetically.

"Actually! If someone comes to complain, Ben Hou may still be interested in investigating deeply, if not, he still doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"Lest others see that Ben Hou is too idle, and find me something to do."

"You are different, the soldiers and horses are patrolling the city, someone is dead, and it is also a matter of duty to ask about the situation, you can check it."

Hehe!

"Thank you Lord Hou for informing me, let's see the situation!"

I didn't say to check, and I didn't say I wouldn't check it.

Wang Tongzhou's meaning is very vague.

But Zheng Xiong doesn't care, it doesn't matter if you check it or not, anyway, if you don't sue yourself, you won't check it.

happened to have the opportunity to get along with Wang Tongzhou alone, and it was a department that he often dealt with, so Zheng Xiong chatted with Wang Tongzhou about the Soldiers and Horses.

"Are the Terracotta Divisions busy on weekdays?"

Nonsense is not, the Terracotta Division is responsible for patrolling the capital to catch thieves, dredging streets and ditches, managing prisoners, and banning fires.

Looking at these responsibilities, we can understand that this agency is similar to the functional departments such as the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau of Urban Management and the Municipal Public Security Bureau in Beijing and Nanjing today, and is the "big steward" of the entire capital.

That's it, are you busy?

At this time, it is not the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, not on all sides, but tired.

Just asked, Wang Tongzhou poured bitter water.

"There are a lot of fish and dragons in Beijing, and it is difficult for the Terracotta Division to manage it, so we can only try to pick up the important ones."

"Plus there are too many adults above, I can't control it! I still have to be trained. ”

"In short, life is quite aggrieved."

Zheng Xiong touched his nose, is this adult talking about me? I didn't discipline you either!

As if sensing that he had said something wrong, Wang Tongzhou hurriedly remedied.

"Those adults are different from Hou Ye, Hou Ye has practical things."

"For example, the previous gamble with Hou Ye made the atmosphere in Beijing a lot better."

"With this warning, the Terracotta Division will be able to be quiet for a while."

"Hou Ye's every move, the lower officials have benefited a lot."

"In the future, if the Hou Ye needs the Soldiers and Horses, just say hello, but the Soldiers and Horses are driven by the Hou Ye, and there is no other word."

not only explained that he patted the sycophants, but also showed his loyalty by the way.

It's not a sign of loyalty, but he just told Zheng Xiong what Lao Zhu meant.

But in this way, Zheng Xiong is undoubtedly extremely satisfied.

His subordinates are far worse than Wang Tongzhou.

Except for last time, that matter is excusable, after all, there is Lao Zhu's force majeure factor.

Under his own hands, it's chilling.

You say, "What is there to do with the dry bones in these graves?"

Since he had shown his loyalty, Zheng Xiong continued to ask.

"According to Benhou, there are still fewer people in the Soldiers and Horses Division, why don't you ask the military department to ask the important people?"

Sighing, Wang Tongzhou was a little helpless.

"The military department is willing to give people, but there are too many people, and no one will give money and be blind!"

"It's okay for the military department to send people, but they won't give money, and the household department is even more, and the main points are not willing to give it, don't mention it."

Sure enough, when it comes to money, no one can talk about it.

It is also true that Zheng Xiong is rich and wealthy, makes a lot of money, and does not take it seriously.

After Wang Tongzhou finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zheng Xiong looking at him with a smile.

Coincidentally, no.

"That's really a coincidence, Benhou doesn't have much else, it's just a lot of money."

"Maintaining the stability of the capital, the government can also have a lot less things to do here, which is conducive to Ying Tianfu, and the two complement each other."

"Ben Hou can pay you to pay for it."

"I can also build a branch for you in the four directions of Yingtianfu."

"But Ben Hou has a requirement, that is, he must maintain law and order in the capital."

"For this little request, does Lord Wang think so?"

I have to say that Zheng Xiong's proposal is very tempting.

Zheng Xiong's ability to make money, Wang Tongzhou saw it in his heart, and said that it was impossible not to envy.

Right now, at the expense of Tianfu, he will pay his salary to repair the branch, where to find this good thing, who is stupid will refuse.

It's just that there are too many people in charge, and it's not up to you to make the decision if you want to expand.

But there is still a lot of hope, Wang Tongzhou said on the spot.

"Master Hou is a promise, so he naturally does what he says."

"The lower officials are not talented, the security of Beijing is a matter of responsibility, with the support of the Hou Ye, not to mention the eradication, it will definitely make the security of Beijing better."

"When the subordinate goes back, he will submit a chapter to the Ministry of War, and strive to allocate manpower as soon as possible, so as to live up to the kindness of the Hou Ye."
