Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 97
When he helped Tian Bo clean the next morning, Wang Tong was a little dazed, and he was a little slow to respond to Tian Bo's questions.

He was still a little confused in his mind. Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, had already looked exhausted when he had a conversation a few days ago. It is said that after the conversation, he has been in a coma. But it didn't last a few days.

When Wang Tong arrived, the whole Tan Mansion was in a state of grief. Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked like this. The entire Tan Mansion had already prepared for it. .

When he arrived at the mourning hall, Wang Tong knelt down and offered incense to the spiritual seat of Tan Shangshu who had met once, and the housekeeper Tan Jiang arranged things in an orderly manner even though his tears could not stop flowing.

After Wang Tong offered incense, Shangshu's family wept and thanked Wang Tong. In the middle of the night, the whole family dressed in sackcloth and filial piety cried and prayed. Wang Tong also felt dizzy and uncomfortable. It is very sad to think of the scene after his father Wang Li passed away.

After paying homage, Wang Tong didn't want to stay here any longer. Before he could say his goodbyes, he was stopped by General Tan. Seventeen men in family clothes included General Tan and the two men he saw last time. The two recorders—Tan Bing and Tan Jian—first kowtowed three times to Tan Lun's spiritual seat, then turned to Tan Lun's family and kowtowed three more times.

Some of these strong-looking men were already crying, and when the tough man was also crying, Wang Tong looked moved, but the seventeen people turned to him and kowtowed three times.

What's going on?Wang Tong was a little dazed. A middle-aged man who was guarding the spirit on the straw mat stood up and said in a harsh voice:
"Master Wang, my late father entrusted General Tan and other 17 people to my lord. When the funeral service is over, my family will transport my father's body back to my hometown. General Tan and other 17 people will be my lord's. These people have served my Tan family for many years. , Lord Wang please be lenient."

After finishing speaking, he solemnly clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and the other family members on the straw mat followed suit. Wang Tong had already thought of the reason when he opened his mouth.

He didn't pay much attention to what he said afterwards, and it was quite awkward when it happened, but now there is no reason to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and accept it. At this time, there was no reason to stay here, so he hurriedly left and went out.

General Tan personally sent Wang Tong to the door. Wang Tong remembered after getting on his horse and said:
"The white affairs are over. If the Tan family doesn't want your help, come and find me. I'll make arrangements for you when the time comes."

General Tan's face was full of sadness, and he just clasped his fists in agreement, without showing much respect. This kind of loyalty between master and servant cannot be cultivated overnight.

Is this a useful role for my own gang, or is it a help for my uncle or troublesome to raise, I can't explain everything, and now is not the time to talk about it, Wang Tong just sighed and said "sorry" before hitting the horse away.

****
The number of people gradually increased, and every Jin Yiwei who came over greeted Wang Tong with an extremely respectful and flattering attitude. Wang Tong smiled and nodded with fists in his hands. People, and Zhang Shiqiang and Li Wenyuan desperately tried to say good things.

Since Wang Tong took charge of all the affairs of these [-] households, each of us has received more money. This is secondary. This Wang Zongqi can do such a big thing at such a young age. It's jaw-dropping.

Nowadays, it is not a question of whether you can make some cheap money, but a question of how to please him with such a great god by your side. Even if there is no profit, don't offend him.

Looking at what this young man can do, he can really crush people to death with just a few fingers. Some people are surprised that Wang Li is just an honest man. He went to Guangdong on a business trip because of his luck, and he got sick and died. It doesn't look like he has any backing background. At the beginning, Wang Tong still had people trying to get his family property ideas. How could it be so big in the blink of an eye? Of course, if you shouldn't inquire, you should To please is to please.

Liu Xinyong, another general banner, contracted the "cold" after his godfather Hu Daquan hanged himself. In the back of my mind, I pretend that this person doesn't exist anymore.

The greetings were polite, as if someone was hosting a wedding. It wasn’t long before Wang Tong went to attend the funeral last night, but the situation was in front of him in the morning. The contrast was really uncomfortable, and it made people feel a little emotional .

While speaking, the door of Baihu's house had been opened, but everyone's attention was focused on Wang Tong's side, and no one paid attention to it during the commotion.

Baihu Tian Ronghao stood at the door and was about to speak, but saw that the people below didn't pay attention, and his face quickly turned cold. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Wang Tong surrounded by the crowd. He hesitated for a while, Tian Baihu's There was also a smile on his face, and he greeted loudly and said:

"Wang Zongqi, you came early!"

After being greeted like this, everyone turned their heads in a hurry, but after hearing Tian Baihu's kind and friendly greeting, they understood Wang Zongqi's status among the hundred households.

"Morning Tian Baihu, brother just has something to report!!"

Wang Tong also pays attention to propriety when speaking nowadays. After his status is high, he must show it with a corresponding decency. Now when he talks with this Tian Baihu, the two sides are relatively equal, and face is given to each other. Speaking of which, Tian Baihu quickly made a hearty laugh and said:

"Come, come, come and tell me, what are you doing so far away?"

Wang Tong greeted, and several of Sun Dahai's subordinates carried three boxes to the steps. Wang Tong stepped forward and said something in a low voice. Tian Baihu nodded with a smile. Wang Tong also stood on the steps, turned around and shouted loudly. :

"Brothers, everyone knows about the Ping An brand, right!?"

Wang Tong made such a big noise, how could everyone not know, when he heard his question, he hurriedly responded, Wang Tong said again:
"This Ping'an brand has helped them so much, and the shopkeepers from all walks of life felt that it was difficult to make it difficult, and specially sent some money as a reward. It really bothered them."

Hearing what Wang Tong said, the room fell silent for a while, and a burst of laughter broke out. It is indeed hilarious to say such a well-known thing so openly. Wang Tong waved his hand and continued:

"Hanging up the sign, we brothers must keep them safe. From now on, we are not allowed to go to their place to steal food and goods, and we are not allowed to go to their place to provoke troubles. Instead, we must protect them carefully, everyone remember!!"

After a little quiet down below, they suddenly agreed again. Usually, these gambling houses and brothels don’t give Jin Yiwei and ordinary soldiers any face at all. They have no money to get them, let alone harassment and embezzlement. It's a big happy event, and it's time to take care of it.

Tian Baihu nodded with a smile in the back, which made the soldiers below feel more at ease. Of course, Baihu Tian Ronghao had nothing to say, the 600 taels of silver were distributed with him, even if he had a conscience, he could get more than 200 taels into the account. No one will push out the money that falls.

After this incident, the Jin Yiwei below could not wait to kneel and kowtow after seeing Wang Tong. Wang Zongqi not only has an amazing background, but also has rich people, and the adults of Baihu also strongly support him. What a hero! !
After dispersing in front of hundreds of households and returning, when they arrived at the gate of their own house, they saw dozens of people lined up in an orderly manner, holding bags and bags.

Wang Tong recognizes a few of these people. It was the last time he recognized the door. The reason why the shopkeepers of the gambling brothels waited in line here so neatly must be because they had never seen those who came over. For the sake of the probers going back, think about what happened in the past two days, who would dare to be careless.

Seeing Wang Tong come back, this group of people immediately broke the rules and surrounded them with a bang, shouting and yelling loudly.

The things I said were the same, it was nothing more than that I had been entangled in things like falling stones from the sky and dead people in my family these days, and I didn't have time to get this safe sign. Please go back, please be safe, ask your lord to agree and other nonsense.

To put it bluntly, it is a sentence, willing to give money, willing to give more money, I just ask you, Mr. Wang, don't care about it, and those who don't know don't blame it.

Naturally, Wang Tong didn't blame the money delivered to his door, he still relied on these people to inquire about the news, instead he set up a date to meet with them one by one, and then he would have a private talk with them.

After tossing so far, the sun is already high, and he will go to the martial arts hall in one and a half hours, but Wang Tong has no spare time, and he still has to practice martial arts with Li Wenyuan with a pole.

In the afternoon, I was running and jumping with Li Hutou in the martial arts gym. At this time, I was going to learn skills with Ma Sanbiao and Li Hutou. Li Wenyuan's class was not much more exciting than the afternoon in the martial arts gym, and it was also very boring.

Use a fixed movement to swing a single sword without a sharpened edge several times, and hold a heavy wooden pole high with the flat end for a certain period of time. Sometimes sandbags and iron bars are used to help the pole and the single sword.

During the small class practice in the morning, Li Wenyuan was not as polite as in the afternoon. He held a bamboo whip in his hand and whipped him if his movements were slightly wrong. The red seal was very tragic, but Ma Sanbiao was good at martial arts, and Wang Tong knew that he was learning life-saving skills, so both of them gritted their teeth and persisted.

****
So every afternoon when Wang Tong appeared among those teenagers, he always looked very different. The others were full of vitality, but only Wang Tong was silent and exhausted that did not fit this age group.

But this afternoon, Wang Tong wasn't the only one with this look, the little Emperor Wanli who walked into the martial arts hall with a bag of snacks as usual also looked downcast and very unhappy.
