Twenty knives and axes are not a big deal, and there are many weapons in private fights, but this spear and strong bow are different, and the people are private, which is a big crime of killing the head.

On the battlefield, the infantry and cavalry mostly used spears, and the strongbow was the most effective long-range weapon of this era, which was the private property of the common people, which was no different from rebellion.

Opening a gambling house to lend usury, making trouble to the sky, is just a leader of ruffians and hooligans, the so-called tycoons of the rivers and lakes, such people and officials really want to be serious, it is really nothing.

But digging out the spear and the strong bow, things are completely different, think about how this can be related to rebellion, and then think about these people who intercede with He Jinyin, what kind of big things they are involved in, how much disaster they want to bring to themselves, the door of the teahouse is open, and it is not hot inside.

But Lu Wancai, who was stunned, suddenly got wet on his back, and the official on the side looked solemn, obviously knowing that this matter was a big trouble.

"Shopkeeper, check out!"

There were some sharp voices at the counter that woke Lu Wancai up, he shook his head, raised his hand to let the official approach, and said in a low voice:

"Tell the people below that the official is going to stay in the delicious restaurant now, you continue to investigate, and if there is anything to talk about, come to the delicious restaurant to report, but you know!!"

The subordinates nodded and ran out quickly, Lu Tuiguan wiped his sweat and went to settle the bill, but there was a little eunuch drinking tea in front of him who was making change, and he was very anxious.

The chickens and dogs on the street are jumping, but there is nothing to do at the delicious restaurant, Li Hutou and Ma Sanbiao are practicing under Li Wenyuan's teaching.

Sun Dahai and Zhang Shiqiang learned the news that the gambling house had dug up something, and hurried over with people, and when it was almost lunchtime, Zou Yi came again, dragging Wang Tong out to see the new children.

In fact, what Wang Tong was thinking about in the delicious hall just now is also related to this, that is, it is better to be in the martial arts hall as a student, or as a teacher.

The purpose of everything is to better please the emperor and get close to the emperor...... "Dozens of families across the street, each family arranges a few children, pays them money and food regularly, and the children are also taken care of, killing two birds with one stone!" ”

Zou Yi is very proud of his arrangement, these ten days, he avoided Wang Tong and did not meet, about the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, he can still do it according to Wang Tong's meaning in the early stage, no one suggested it in the later stage, Zou Yi can only follow his own ideas, but Wang Tong shook his head and said politely:

"Father-in-law Zou, I still bought a few houses, opened up the courtyard, ate and bed together, and can have my own reading ability, but no more than ten people."

Zou Yi was puzzled when he listened, and Wang informed that it was useless to explain the concept of collective life to the other party, so he just smiled and emphasized:

"It's right to listen to my little brother......"

looked at the children who were carrying their luggage into the house, but Wang Tong was stunned, stared at it for a while before saying:

"These are all children selected from there, I'm afraid they are not ordinary children of good families!"

The sentence "Father-in-law Zou" just now made Zou Yi feel a little annoyed in his heart, one wrong step, one wrong step, he is now worried that Wang Tong may not want him to take care of this martial arts hall, in that case, the opportunity to get close to the emperor will fly.

But now Wang Tong can still talk to him, and the attitude is quite polite, there is still room for redemption, Wang Tong is indeed quite surprised by these children, he himself has a height close to Chengren, first, Wang Li feels sorry for the child, eating above has always tried his best to satisfy, and secondly, Wang Tong also has a sense of crisis, and has begun to exercise his body since he can walk, but he is an outlier and cannot be used as an example.

But now these children, although they are nothing too surprising, are all strong, and their stature is not as tall as Wang Tong, but they are taller than their peers.

And there are quite rules between gestures, and after practicing with Li Wenyuan for a few days, Wang Tong can also see that these more than 100 "children of good families" have received professional training.

"Brother Wang saw it?"

Zou Yi joked with a smile, he leaned closer to Wang Tong and said in a low voice:

"Long live the safety of the Son of Heaven is the first priority, the outside layer of defense, this must also be arranged, since the Queen Mother wants a good family of civilians, a few bigwigs in total, simply in the Jingshi and Beizhili all over the generation of military generals to choose, the guard to more than 100 households, the soldiers to more than 1,000 generals, the palace in the palace in the imperial horse supervision of the martial arts of the little guys selected dozens of people to get together."

Wang Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head, these children, plus themselves, and those few teachings, I am afraid that it will be the last line of defense in case of emergency.

But the problem is not on this, but that Emperor Wanli is short among his peers, and it is too awkward to get together with these generals, it seems that he really wants to make up for Li Hutou, at least about the same height.

"Brother Wang, this time for the matter of He Jinyin, Zhang Cheng and Gonggong Zhang are angry, otherwise you see how those officials of Shuntian Mansion would run so diligently!"

"Gonggong Zhang's novelty, I must remember it in the future......" Speaking of this, Wang Tong and Zou Yi both stopped, because they saw Lu Wancai running out of breath, and some words were inconvenient to say to the outside world.

Hearing the spear and the strong bow, Zou Yi's expression also became cautious, and he called Wang Tong to go to the mansion to watch, and when he went to the mansion, he withdrew all irrelevant people and others, and the three of them walked in.

The cellar was almost one person high, and the whole room was almost empty, Wang Tong and the other three climbed down the wooden ladder with the lamplight, and the swords, guns, bows and arrows were properly wrapped, and the other party was in the corner, and the cracks on the package were torn by the servants when they first came down.

But this weapon is just a corner, Wang Tong took the lamp and turned around, but there were no rat holes or garbage around the empty cellar, and the ground was very flat.

It turned out that there was something else in it, Wang Tong couldn't help but think in his heart, while Zou Yi and Lu Wancai both squatted down there to inspect their weapons, and after looking at the two spears and a bow without strings, Zou Yi muttered:

"This is a private workshop's weapon ......"

The official craftsmen were all slave-like craftsmen, and the weapons produced were often of poor quality, and the truly well-made weapons were often made by private craftsmen.

Zou Yi glanced at it a few more times, stood up suddenly, and said in a solemn voice:

"The forbidden weapons made in the private workshop are so close to the palace city, and then our family will transfer the soldiers of the left guard of Long Xiang to guard here, and we will leave first, and our family will go back to the palace to report!!"

As soon as he climbed two steps up the wooden ladder, Lu Wancai, the magistrate, endured it and reminded him:

"Father-in-law Zou, it is not uncommon for such people in the rivers and lakes to have weapons in private workshops, and the thieves outside the city and outside the city have all moved the fire, but they are just pressed down layer by layer."

When Zou Yi heard this, he hesitated on the wooden ladder, but still said:

"Then I have to report it to Father-in-law Zhang, and I will leave first."

Wang Tong carefully looked at the structure of the cellar, and wondered if he would have to make something similar in his future residence, so Lu Wancai came over and said, "Lord Wang, let's talk about it above."

Walking out of this mansion and taking a few steps out, Lu Wancai, the magistrate, approached and whispered:

"Don't hide it from Lord Wang, He Jinyin is currently just a villain who opens a casino to cheat money, and puts a seal of money, unless these blades are intentionally making a fuss, otherwise they are nothing?"

Wang Tong nodded, but his footsteps did not stop, Lu Wancai was like a master, and he followed in small steps and whispered:

"I have been a pusher for almost ten years, and in the past four or five years, the cases reported from various places in Beijing, the cases of usury and the collection of profits and fraud, many of them have the shadow of the Sanyang Sect behind them, but they have all been suppressed...... I just heard the report from the official below at the teahouse, plus the things that were confiscated, it was almost more than 8,000 taels. ”

It is indeed a huge amount of money, Wang Tong was stunned, Lu Wancai said that at this time, he obviously hesitated, looked at Wang Tong, who was not moving, gritted his teeth and followed up again:

"He Jinyin is just a pawn, he can toss so much silver in two years, I'm afraid there is more than this He Jinyin everywhere in Beijing, and how much silver is the running water, and he takes the risk of killing his head and says a few words to the adults, this kind of Taoist door who does not worship the righteous gods, fools some village husbands and fools, and gets some silver, it is not unusual, but it is just a naked release of people to grab money, and it is such a large ......"

Wang Tong stopped, he was also shocked by the official Lu Wancai in his heart, but at this time, there was no way to deal with it, so he had to whisper:

"Brother Lu said to Wang about these things, and Wang wrote it down in his heart, but now Wang is just a general banner, what can he do?"

Speaking of this, Wang Tong paused and said:

"Now that Shuntian Mansion has begun to conduct a thorough investigation, Wang has the opportunity to use his strength on Zhang's side to let this thorough investigation continue."

The two glanced at each other, and then walked forward in silence, being pulled into the whirlpool by mistake, no one would feel happy, but they couldn't help themselves.

Back to the mansion where he lived, Wang Tong's three small flags and Wang Si and Li Gui's two Shuntianfu team leaders were there, these people were full of excitement, and there were four big cages on the ground of the house.

"My lord, there are almost six thousand taels under the gambling house, and one thousand taels have been confiscated, and just now the brothers picked up the rest of the silver from the cellar and hit it in the cage and got it back, and it was made, we are rich!"

When it was about to get dark, in the Forbidden City, in the residence of Gonggong Hu, the eunuch of the Straight Palace, a shrill voice said faintly:

"Father-in-law Hu, the silver you have accumulated will be transferred to your brother in Liaozhou, Shanxi, and your two nephews can enter the Shanxi Salt Transportation Division in June this year to do an inspection...... This time the matter is making a big fuss, Gonggong Hu, you have to bear it all, but it won't be in vain."

At the second watch that night, the little eunuch who was waiting for Gonggong Hu found the body hanging on the beam, and the ledgers were scattered all over the place, and Gonggong Hu hanged himself.
