Chapter Ninety-Nine: No Looking Back

Li Tao is a smart young man, and he knows that the current situation is completely different from before, and the little fat man named Huang Yijun took the initiative to bring the snacks over.

In addition, the excitement over there is really attractive, and the dim sum is indeed delicious, Li Tao got off the donkey and took the dim sum, and the teenagers under him also ate it with smiles.

There are forty teenagers from Xuanfu Town, and those who are already close to Wanli also hope that Li Tao and them will join them, and they are also very happy to see the current situation.

On this day, the field was full of laughter, but Wang Tong and Li Hutou were a little different, the two of them were already close to Wanli, and now Wanli went to get close to the rest of the teenagers, but he snubbed the two of them.

"The emperor is the emperor after all!"

Wang Tong sighed in a low voice, Li Hutou was busy dealing with a black sesame baked cake, and he didn't hear it clearly, so he turned his head and asked:

"Brother Wang, what did you just say?"

Wang Tong waved his hand and did not continue the topic.

Zhang Siwei took over from Zhang Siwei, who had no impact on Wang Tong, and since Zhang Siwei entered the cabinet, he had no consciousness of cabinet ministers at all, and he had always done whatever Zhang Juzheng told him to do.

After he took control of the Ministry of War, it meant that Zhang Juzheng, who was already powerful, had more power and deeper control over the imperial court, but everyone didn't think it was commonplace.

The Ping'an brand made Wang Tong get nearly five thousand taels of silver at once, and he suddenly had plenty of money, and now he lives in the house behind the delicious hall, and these two quite spacious mansions are not enough at all, which means that the functions of office, silver treasury and even martial arts training ground are added to it.

Thinking that there were more than a dozen people such as Tan Jiang coming over next, Wang Tong took out a thousand taels of silver and arranged for Zhang Shiqiang and Sun Dahai to buy a house.

There are no large mansions in the south, east and west, and north that occupy an area of extraordinary magnificence, and Wang Tong doesn't want to make it so public, so the surname Suo asks them to buy the big mansion around the helper, everything is nearby, but it is also convenient.

On the second day of the fourth month, the house was completed, but Tan Lun and Tan Shangshu are important ministers of the state, and the funeral will definitely not be brief, Tan Jiang and others are very busy there, and they will not be able to come for a while.

In the current martial arts hall, Emperor Wanli and the teenagers mingled every day, and the relationship was very good, so that Wang Tong was less worried and turned his main energy to business.

The Ping An brand is said to keep a safe place for those who are not doing well, and Wang Tong does have this power, but when there is no such brand, these gambling houses are doing as well as the Qinglou business, and there is no long-sighted door-to-door trouble.

The main purpose of making this sign is to collect money, and to put your hand into these places where cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods gather, dragons and snakes are mixed, the best goal is to make them your own eyes and ears, and at worst, to regularly collect money and news from them.

For them, Wang Tong has no psychological burden, Qinglou and the gambling house can't be banned at all with his small general flag, and they can't be banned, and they can still do it to achieve orderly management, and they can still get a piece of the pie from these ill-gotten gains.

Under the command of Baihe Tian Ronghao, with the cooperation of the Shuntianfu officials and some local snakes, the Jinyi guards of the 6,000th and 700th households carried out a thorough sweep in the jurisdiction, and the public order was good for a while.

The image of Jinyiwei in the folk has always been in a state of being angry and dare not speak, and at this time he suddenly did a good thing, and the ordinary people in the jurisdiction couldn't believe it, and thought that the sun came out of the west, and there were actually wealthy households who pooled money to make a plaque and sent it to Tian Baihu.

The plaque was sent to Tian Ronghao's house, which startled him, and he didn't dare to accept it, and it was a joke in the Jingshi Jinyi Guard for a while.

But after this sweep, the business of the gambling houses in the jurisdiction is a little better than before, the reason is very simple, the Jinyi guards have swept away all the small gambling stalls and secret prostitutes without licenses, and the potential competitors have been virtually reduced for those casino Qinglou.

And Sun Dahai really dared to do it, pretending not to know, he led his subordinates to sweep many places outside the jurisdiction, and the Jinyi pro-army now knew that Wang Tong couldn't be provoked, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

As a result, at the beginning of April, there was a strange rule in the casino Qinglou outside the jurisdiction of Wangtong, asking if it was from South Street, and if it was, it would not be accepted, so as not to bring trouble to yourself.

Since Miss Xia from Mingchun Building came to the door, every few nights, Wang Tong would make an appointment with a person who received a sign to ask about the Three Yang Sect and the Three Yang Society of Heaven and Earth.

Wang Tong really didn't know anything about intelligence work, but he couldn't borrow Dongchang and Jinyiwei around him for this matter, so he had to ask directly.

But every time he asked, he had to drag a helper over, Lu Wancai, the pusher of Shuntian Mansion, and the two messenger team leaders, Wang Si and Li Gui.

One is a veteran of criminal names who have been tried and investigated for many years, and the other is the head snake of Shuntianfu, the owners of those gambling houses and Qinglou said a few words, there are some things they don't know, but Lu Wancai can think of a lot of things.

When these non-righteous businessmen were in front of Wang Tong, they were not as secretive as Wang Tong was worried about, but they had something to say.

Wang Tong still underestimated himself, and the things he did were enough to scare these Jianghu people, such as this one tonight.

This person is also a big man, with a full beard, listening to Sun Dahai, this person also has the name of "Jingjie Tiger", raising more than a dozen splashes who can fight, opening a butcher shop and a casino, and a very beautiful character on the street.

But after this person was led into the house, he knelt there tremblingly, being too careful to be careful, Wang Tong was very uncomfortable, but looking at the people around him, whether it was Zhang Shiqiang who was sorting out the account books and brands there, or Lu Wancai, who was wearing a foreign uniform, their faces were calm, so they didn't ask the other party to stand up and speak.

For such ruffians on the streets, no matter how beautiful they are, they are all pigs and sheep in front of Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu, and they are not even such large livestock, they can only be regarded as ants, Wang Tong can make them crush their bones if he says a word.

"Back to the words of a few old men, the villain still has the Sanyang Buddha in his house, and he is also a member of the sect." Jing Jiehu replied respectfully, but the content of the words made Wang Tong's spirit lift, except for the Xia girl, Wang Tong had already asked four people, everyone knew about the Sanyang Sect, but there was no in-depth communication.

For example, those who open Qinglou know that the Sanyang Sect buys and sells people, and the casino also knows that the Sanyang Sect sets up a bureau to cheat money, but they also give others a bite to eat when they eat themselves.

This is also what surprised Wang Tong, I thought that the Sanyang Sect and the Sanyang Society of Heaven and Earth would be a secret Daomen, just like those mysterious organizations in the previous film and television dramas, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came into contact, there were only a few people who didn't know, and they seemed to be commonplace.

But if you can meet the members of this sect, you may be able to know more things, Wang Tong leaned over and asked:

"It's actually a sect member, then what do you usually say to do for this Sanyang Sect, tell me about it carefully!"

Hearing Wang Tong's inquiring tone, the Jingjiehu hurriedly kowtowed before replying:

"The villain is a rough man, since I was a child, I said that there is a god to worship, after all, yes, three years ago, when the little and a few brothers who worshiped the handle opened this gambling shop, a person from the Sanyang Sect came to us, saying that they wanted to join the sect and listen to their assignment, in addition to the stability of this gambling house, there are other benefits." Wang Tong nodded and said:

"Get up, sit down, and talk!"

This man's body trembled when he received this treatment, and he humbly gave in a few times before carefully leaving a small half of his ass on the stool, and then he said respectfully:

"We worshiped the Sanyang Buddha, invited this Buddha statue back, don't really say, the general flag Liu Xinyong Liu personally took care of it, no one has come to me for the trouble of that small field, and not only this, according to the work and cheap money, there are always a few times a year, the people of the Sanyang Sect take the silver, replace it with the dealer they don't know, and when someone comes to gamble money, then export the money."

Hearing this, Wang Tong and Lu Wancai glanced at each other, Wang Tong was about to ask, but Lu Wancai, the magistrate, asked first:

"How much cheaper is it?"

Said here, this question should not be asked anyway, Wang Tong glanced at Lu Tuiguan strangely, but Lu Wancai suddenly realized that he was shaking a fan there and pretending to be elegant.

"A hundred taels can drop at least five taels, only a lot more."

"Okay, don't tell anyone about the question tonight, just say that Lord Wang wants to ask for more money on the brand, and you kowtow and beg for mercy, you know?"

Jingjiehu is careful, but he is not stupid, hearing this, his eyes widened and he looked up, Lu Wancai closed the fan and said with a smile:

"If others know about tonight's incident, don't you say that your parents, wife, and children are still raised outside, and none of them will survive, do you know?"

The words were relaxed, the Jingjie tiger trembled up and down, kowtowed heavily to the ground, and almost crawled out of the house, Lu Wancai's fan was opened again, and when he heard the courtyard door outside closed, he turned his head and said to Wang Tong with a solemn expression:

"Lord Wang, my brother asks you seriously, does this matter really need to be investigated?"

Although only he could check it, Wang Tong still wanted to check it, nodding affirmatively, Lu Wancai sighed and said in a low voice:

"You and I don't want to come forward in this matter, let the people in charge of Brother Dahai find that Jingjiehu in private, and introduce a competent guy to go in and keep an eye on."

Wang Tong understood his intentions, but changed the topic and said:

"....... has reached such a point that there is no possibility of stopping......"
