The shopkeeper Xia of Zhenxing Building didn't dare to snub Wang Tong in the slightest, not to mention the power of the official, but there was no comparison with Shi Chengjin's ability to say this.

The turnover of his own revitalization building has risen by 30% in the past few months, and it is not because of the flow of people and customers brought by the delicious restaurant, besides, the kind of gambling house with a fierce spirit and a deep background in Juyifang was copied by Wang Tong, and such a character is not something that a trader like him can offend.

But the proprietors of the gambling houses and Qinglou who received the post definitely didn't think so.

Zhang Shiqiang, who made the next post, was a little embarrassed, and only two of the thirteen posts came, obviously because he was not doing well, but Wang Tong did not have a displeased look on his face.

There are six detached courtyards at the back of the Zhenxing Building, and the cost of using this single courtyard is a little more expensive than the single rooms in the Zhenxing Building, but it is also cleaner.

Wang Tong walked in with a smile, and the two people in the room quickly stood up, nodded and said with a smile:

"If Lord Wang has something, just say hello, why do you need to spend so much, it's really torturous for the villains."

"Everyone is a neighbor, if it weren't for Wang Mou's errand in the Jinyi army, he would still call your brothers and uncles, what's polite, just sit down!"

A few polite words, the two people also sat down carefully, but these two people are opening a dice shop, gathering some idlers to bet on the size of the small dealer, the transaction is not big, a month is at most a few dozen taels of flowers, up and down dots, there is not too much silver left in their hands.

They don't have any backers, if you want to say that there are, Tian Ronghao Tian Baihu is their backer, these two families have always paid directly to Tian Baihu, ignoring others.

Unexpectedly, the banquet was invited, but these two people who were relatively close to each other came, but the others did not move, Wang Tong turned around and greeted:

"Brother Zhang, Sun Dahai, you all come in, just sit down together!"

After the two small flags also sat in their seats, Wang Tong first raised his glass and made a drink, politely according to the rules of the banquet, and then said:

"It turns out that the place of the Juyi Fang is vacant, the house is in a good place, and there are many idlers around, so it is a waste to be so empty, I just want to ask who is interested?"

South Street is originally a good plot of land in the south of the city, there are a lot of people with a few spare money in their hands, and the location of the Juyi Fang is secluded, but it is not difficult to find, which is the advantage of opening a casino.

As soon as the two small dealers who came to the banquet heard this, they were immediately excited, the opportunity to make a fortune falling from the sky, there is this field, counting dots and filial piety, a few hundred taels of silver a year are firmly in hand, and there is this, the status is also completely different, now these two small dealers are at best a gangster leader, people with a little identity on the street meet, do not take the right look, to have a Juyi Fang, the identity is completely different, but also a "shopkeeper" or "boss".

But happy for a while, and a little embarrassed, Wang Tong understood what he meant, and the two small dealers directly exchanged heads and ears on the wine table, and after a while, a small dealer hesitated and said:

"Lord Wang, this is for the small ones to be rich, but this Juyifang house is big, the place is good, the small ones can't make up enough silver to plate down, ...... adults."

Wang Tong smiled and said:

"In such a good place, the official is reluctant to give it away, you two will do it, and half of the silver you earn will be given to the official, and I don't care about the rest."

Hearing this, the two little dealers were stunned, but there was obvious hesitation on their faces, Wang Tong seemed to be able to guess what they were thinking, and said with a smile:

"The official face, the usual amount of silver is above this half, and the rest of the penny will not be overcharged, and it turns out that the two shops will not be opened or not."

gave this promise, the two small dealers calculated, originally thought that those dots and filial piety routines were counted on themselves, then the profit is not big, but to be counted in Wang Tong's half, this profit is really a lot, the two of them smiled happily, while pondering, there is no banquet for nothing, how can there be a reason to get cheap out of thin air, sure enough, Wang Tong opened his mouth again:

"Don't be too happy, when the gambling house opens, the movements of idlers and gamblers in the casino must be watched by the official, and the big and small things must be paid attention to, and every time you come to report to the official, you have to help the official to inquire about the secrets, can you do it?"

The two small dealers have been mixing in the market for a long time, and naturally understand what Wang Tong's requirements are, the three places with many rich and noble eunuchs in the east, west and north of the Beijing Division, and the people in the restaurant and the green building, many of them are the eyes and ears of various yamen, and they specially record the words of the rich and noble, and the noble officials.

On the ground of Nancheng, there are mostly poor people, there is no value of attention, and there is no such dense ears and eyes.

There is nothing to lose in this kind of thing, and you can still follow the fox and fake Huwei, the only thing I don't understand is that this Wang Tong is just a general banner, why bother with so many things.

Think about the advice of Tian Ronghao Tian Baihu, no matter what Wang Tong says, he must be careful to obey, the only backer on the official face of these two small dealers is Tian Baihu, since the backers have said so, how dare not listen.

What's more, when they came here, Wang Tong's reward for letting them do things was really rich, and people had to be tempted, speaking of which, the two little dealers hurriedly stood up, bowed down and clasped their fists and said:

"Since Lord Wang can afford it, the little ones will naturally obey, and it is useless to say anything else at this time, so please see how the little ones will perform in the future."

Wang Tong nodded and smiled, the official government was full of pies, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food, he asked seemingly unintentionally:

"I usually don't deal with the neighbors, two, do you know what backing backgrounds the other ones have?"

"Don't hide it from adults, small business is small, and there is little dealings with big bosses, and the dice shop is also simple, even if it is seized, and then rent a house and house to open, if you really hang a signboard plaque, do business decently, want to be peaceful, Jinyi Weizhong recognizes more than 1,000 households, Shuntianfu must at least have more than five products, and so on."

One person said vaguely, I don't know if he knows or doesn't know anything, looking at Wang Tong's face is not quite right, the other person said:

"Don't be surprised, the little ones really don't know anything, they really can't touch those people, they can only pretend to be grandchildren, there is a family that knows some news, Lord Mingchunlou has heard of it?"

Wang Tong nodded, Mingchun Building is a large courtyard on South Street, you can't enter the door without some money, the merchants on this side of South Street are all in this Zhenxing Building, and there are also good Fengyue in the business field, then you have to go to this Mingchun Building to entertain, seeing Wang Tong nodded, the man lowered his voice and said:

"A confidant of Mingchun Building likes to gamble on both hands, and he said when chatting with the villain that the proprietress of Mingchun Building is the outer house of Gong Tiechuan, the waiter of the Criminal Department......"

I really didn't expect that the people in Nancheng would still have a relationship with such a high-level figure, and Mingchun Lou is so good at backing, and some other families must not be too bad.

However, Wang Tong was already planning to do it, so he wouldn't stop, and he didn't have to stop, so he bumped the wine cup on the table a few times, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"The two of you are here, just to give face to the official, the place under the jurisdiction of our hundred households is not big, but there is only this one gambling house open, and the business must be very good, not to mention anything else, I wish the two of them a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources, and the detailed things will come to Zhang Xiaoqi to talk to."

The two little dealers didn't understand at first, and they were still holding their glasses to toast, so they raised their glasses, but they probably guessed the meaning of Wang's call.

One couldn't hold his breath, his hand trembled, and the cup almost fell on the table, and the other person also raised his glass to his mouth with a pale and trembling face, and spilled a lot.

When these two left, although they were polite with caution, they didn't believe Wang Tong's words, and even being cautious and polite was a little far away.

It seems that the last words made the two small dealers feel too mysterious and a little unreliable.

In the end, he settled the account with the shopkeeper Xia of Zhenxing Building, and the shopkeeper Xia refused to accept the money, and kept saying that Wang Tong was already a great face when he came here, and it would not be a torture to give money again.

This favor of two taels of silver, Wang Tong will not accept the shopkeeper Xia, the other party does not accept it, and directly throws five taels of silver on the counter, leading everyone out.

"The sea, get fifty sturdy sticks to prepare, don't let our helpers run out of the city these days, stay in the house and wait for my orders."

Sun Dahai nodded excitedly, and Wang Tong said to Zhang Shiqiang on the side:

"Brother Zhang, lead the sea and his brothers together, and these families who didn't come will go to recognize the door, so as not to make a mistake when they get it."

As soon as the order was finished, before the two of them left, two knights galloped from the corner of the street, and one shouted at Wang Tong under the lamp from a distance:

"But Wang Tong!?"

This is the voice of Baihe Tian Ronghao, so late, Tian Baihu rode a horse to find Wang Tong, I really don't know what kind of urgency it is, Wang Tong was puzzled, but he still replied loudly.

Tian Baihu came to him, seeing that he was not wearing an official uniform, the hem of the robe was casually tucked into the belt, and he should be anxious when he looked out, and asked directly:

"Mr. Wang, you can ride a horse!!"

"Barely riding!!"

"Give the horse to Wang Zongqi and go to Beicheng with me!!"

So late, so anxious, what the hell is going on, Beicheng, Wang Tong has not been there since he was on an errand, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, and he didn't get on the horse and pretended to ask earnestly on the ground:

"Dare to ask your lordship, what is important, and the lower officials can make arrangements."

"I also arranged a bird, Lord Tan Lun Tan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is no good, he said that he wanted to see you, get on the horse and follow me!!"

The secretary of the military department wanted to see me, Wang Tong got on the horse in a daze, and pondered when he was on the horse: Who is Tan Lun?
