Chapter 96

The people who came to Wang Tong's house were either warriors or eunuchs, and now even the nearby families have been relocated, and there are no female relatives, except for Mrs. Ma, those women who work also go home at night.

That's why there was such a coquettish movement, Ma Sanbiao, who happened to be moving firewood in the yard, excitedly opened the door of his house and looked at it unscrupulously.

Zhang Shiqiang turned his head and shouted to Wang Tong who was in the room:
"My lord, Shopkeeper Xia from Mingchun Building is here to visit!!"

Whether to let this woman enter the door or not is up to Wang Tong, this movement is a bit big, Ma Pozi also came out of the house with her clothes on, seeing Ma Sanbiao's greedy look, she was so angry that she stretched out her hand and twitched a few times, and was about to close the door.

Unexpectedly, Miss Xia's reaction was not slow. She actually saw Mrs. Ma at the door clearly through the light, bowed with a sweet smile, and said flatteringly:

"Isn't this Mrs. Ma? Your old legs and feet are not very good, and the weather is still cold. Don't catch a cold. Here is the old wild ginseng bought from Liao Town. You always take it back to nourish your body."

Behind Miss Xia stood a few close followers with low eyebrows. Hearing this, she immediately found a brocade box from the cage and handed it to Miss Xia.

The woman took two steps towards the side, almost thrusting it into Ma Sanbiao's hand, and she continued to say considerate and kind greetings. The smoke disappeared, her face was flushed, Widow Ma was a kind-hearted person, Miss Xia's kindness and this gift made her a little embarrassed, watching Wang Tong come out over there, she quickly said thank you and closed the door.

Wang Tong looked at Miss Xia who was so attentive, the impatience at noon was gone, he just waited there calmly, it seems that Miss Xia from Mingchunlou did her homework very well, and even the people around her knew how to please .

Miss Xia turned around and saw Wang Tong standing under the lantern, a tall and strong but immature half-grown child standing there with a calmness that did not match his age, staring at her calmly.

Seeing Wang Tong, the girl Xia's exquisite and sophisticated skills disappeared without a trace. She thought of Gong Shilang's hysterical anger, and the despair and collapse hidden behind the anger, and when she was about to leave the house, the staff below inquired about him. According to the news, Yang Baihu from the Experience Department has been sent to Datong to guard the border.

What kind of power is behind this half-grown child, what kind of boss is there, but he is still so ignorant, thinking about this makes people shudder.

Almost without looking at each other, this Miss Xia knelt down on the ground involuntarily, and said in a trembling voice:

"Your maidservant doesn't know how to measure, and she didn't listen to your lord's good advice. This is really delusional. I hope that my lord will give this maidservant a chance when I come here this time, so that this maidservant can change her ways. Please take that brand back, so that you can share the benefits." Some happiness and blessings, and I hope the adults will be kind..."

Before he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Wang Tong had a smile on his lips. Now he finally realized who was behind him and how arrogant he could do. Kowtowing on the ground, there was no fluctuation in his heart, he just said coldly:

"Go to Zhang Xiaoqi's side to sign a document, and hang this safety sign at the main entrance of your building. From now on, if anyone provokes troubles in your place, regardless of officials or civilians, just find me here, and I will deal with it fairly!"

Hearing this, Miss Xia's kneeling body trembled. It seems that this matter is not without benefits, at least it is equivalent to inviting a god in the yard, and the yard will not be afraid of troubles in the future.

"Wenyin is 1000 taels, paid in three years, let's pay for one year first!!"

This amount can be said to be very large, and it hurts to take it out, but it was an accident that a hundred households in the experience department were expelled, and the minister of the criminal department was reprimanded by the elder of the Shoufu Pavilion. happiness.

Although Miss Xia was trembling, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face. Just as she was about to get up to thank and hand over the gifts from the attendants behind her, she heard Wang Tong say again:

"Miss Xia, come to my room."

Why, this half-baby still wants to take advantage of his old lady, Miss Xia was the first to think of this, but she didn't object to this matter due to her background, instead she smiled, turned around and ordered her subordinates to hand over the gift to Zhang Shiqiang, and followed After going through the formalities, he twisted his waist and followed Wang Tong.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shiqiang was going through formalities in the main room outside, and there was a gentleman who wrote. Wang Tong took Miss Xia into the bedroom and closed the door. Even Miss Xia was so open-minded and asked in a low voice:
"Master, there are still people outside!"

Unknowingly, this title has become the professional language in the brothel. Wang Tong didn't realize it, picked up the candle with a chisel, turned around and said in a low voice:
"I want to ask you something, do you know anything about Sanyang Sect or Sanyang Society?"

Even though Miss Xia had made countless preparations, she never thought that this Lord Wang was asking this question. She was stunned for a while before she realized it, but then she said with a disdainful expression on her face:

"Responding to your lord's words, the lowly maidservants know better, that those nameless whites who cut themselves off and can't enter the palace are doing the business of population."

As Wumingbai said before, it refers to those people in the capital who are not eunuchs and live outside the palace. Although they don’t have a clear identity, they are regarded as the most humble untouchables. This is also engaged in human trafficking. It's no wonder that Miss Xia, who came from a humble background, has such a disdainful expression.

"Just buying and selling people?"

"Those people sometimes send people over. If there is any good stuff in the building, they will come to buy it."

Wang Tong was quite confused after hearing this. Selling people is to make money. What is the purpose of buying people? He is not a professional criminal name.
"Do you believe in the Sanyang Sect?"

"The lowly maid doesn't believe in this stuff, and she can't make money. It's disgusting to deal with those who have no eggs. What if the business in the building is ruined!"

This is the true nature of the sons and daughters of the world, Wang Tong smiled and said flatly:

"There are a lot of people coming and going in your building, and there are a lot of conversations. If you hear any important news, please tell it here quickly. It will naturally benefit you. Go out!"

Originally, Miss Xia was a bit casual when she followed her into the door, but after this questioning, she didn't dare to slack off, bowed her head, fulfilled her duty as a servant, and retreated respectfully.

The formalities outside were handled very quickly. It was nothing more than that the writer finished writing according to the pre-arranged arrangement, signed and pledged there, gave the money and got the sign, Zhang Shiqiang talked about the matters and so on.

Miss Xia was unequivocal. Although the three-year 1000 taels of the brand were handed over in batches, this time a full 200 taels was left behind, a pile of white flowers.

Wang Tong wondered, maybe it was sent by Gong Tiechuan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Wang Tong didn't know what happened to Jin Yiwei and the cabinet, but seeing how cautious and frightened Miss Xia was, he could guess about the same.

"Divide 600 taels and bring it to Tian Baihu tomorrow morning."

Zhang Shiqiang was distributing the money, so he quickly got up and agreed, no matter how honest he is, seeing so much money in vain would make him very emotional.

Wang Tong sat there, rubbing two silver ingots in his hand, and after thinking about it, he put the silver ingots on the table, and said:
"Brother Zhang, you can go to the Mingchun Tower later and tell them that this safe sign has to be decorated with lights and festoons, and those who set off firecrackers hang it up for me, or else don't hang it up!!"

Before Zhang Shiqiang agreed, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and it was quite hasty. Zhang Shiqiang got up and went out quickly, shouting at the top of his voice:

"Who is it!"

Immediately outside the door, he said with a smile in a very polite voice:

"My lord, the younger ones are here to collect the badges. I'm really sorry to disturb you at such a late hour, but you're in a hurry, sir. Please come here in a hurry. Silver, the little ones have other filial piety."

People in the market have always been quite sensitive to the wind and grass of the upper class, and it is a place like the capital where news spreads everywhere. At this time, no one knows the news, or no one knows how the limelight is.

Just as Zhang Shiqiang was going to open the door, he was stopped by Wang Tong behind him. Wang Tong said in a low voice:
"Let them do it tomorrow, and you have the benefit of asking for 100 taels of silver for each brand in private. We are not in a hurry right now."

Zhang Shiqiang also wanted to understand the joints, nodded with a smile, turned around and shouted, and finally calmed down, but it was impossible to want to be quiet.

This group of people left, and another group came, and finally Wang Tong's family and Ma Widow's family were both annoyed by the constant flow of people, so they simply asked Ma Sanbiao to guard the door and block them all.

It was late at night, and the outside also became quiet. The writer wanted to leave, but Wang Tong stayed behind. He had done so many things, even though some people inside and outside the palace knew it, it did not represent his If you can act recklessly, do you want to write something to report? After thinking about it, it is better to send people away. Some things can be said in person, but it is too dangerous to form words.

There was no one to pick up the sign outside, Zhang Shiqiang also left, and Wang Tong was a little tired. He kept trying to recall in his mind what he could learn from the management of entertainment venues he had heard and seen.

After entering the bedroom, he walked out again frowning. The scent of Miss Xia's powder was too strong, and there was some residue in the room, which made Wang Tong feel very awkward, so he simply opened the door and let it go.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, and the sound of bells and drums in the imperial city not far away could be heard. Wang Tong poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and just as he reached his mouth, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, which startled him.

The man didn't say who he was, but he just knocked on the door. Wang Tong was so angry that he pulled out the latch and started shouting and cursing when he opened the door. Unexpectedly, he didn't come to receive the sign, but Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, whom he met a few days ago. Tan Jiang, the steward of the big man, with a few knights and an empty horse behind the big man, with a sad expression on his face, said in a low voice:
"Master Wang is going with the younger one, Master Tan has just left."
