"Entering the room and checking it, the woman and the child cry, the benevolent and righteous people swallow their anger, dare to be angry and dare not speak, since then the people of Tianjin have called Wang Tong a ghost, but the child can stop crying at night"

"The city gate has just opened, Wang Tong bowed to the air three times, got up and grabbed a handful of paper people and paper horses, spat on it, and drank a "disease", the paper people and paper horses have turned into blue-faced fanged demon soldiers and demon generals, scattered in all directions, how do you say, the bow incense is the immortal gold incense lit in front of the Buddha's lotus throne, and if the incense in the city is not extinguished, he Wang Tong will show the prototype"

On the second day of the sixth lunar month, less than an hour after the opening of the Tianjin Acropolis Gate, the five battalions and two reserve battalions of Tianjin Jinyiwei under Wang Tong, under the leadership of the general, directly surrounded the three courtyards of the ship's bow incense in Tianjin City.

This was the time to gather to burn incense, and the incense crowd in the courtyard was almost gathered, but they were caught off guard, and none of them escaped.

In the same hour, the pilgrims of the three courtyards were bound up with ropes and joined in strings, and all of them were driven out of the city, and fifty soldiers of the reserve camp were placed at each gate, and they were not allowed to enter the city.

Then the first battalion to the fifth battalion were under the leadership of the battalion officer, and each battalion was responsible for several streets.

Naturally, there is no shop in the city that does not burn incense, the conditions given by the Jinyi guards are very simple, throw away the incense burner and hang the Ping An brand, the Ping An brand hangs for a year is a quarter of the incense burning road, if the incense is found to continue to burn, the shop is confiscated, and people do not stay in Tianjin Wei.

Doing business is to make money and make a fortune, pay less unnecessary silver, who would not want to, even if a few people are not superstitious and superstitious, looking at the fierce brocade guards, looking at the bright blade, they all did it with interest.

In addition to those who were thugs, there were also residents who did live in Tianjin, and they had to go back to the city, and they were not embarrassed by this brocade guard, and they kowtowed to the city gate outside the city, and wept bitterly and said that if they quit the bow incense, they could go back to the city.

Everyone is not desperate to burn incense and worship, this bow incense is not a great religion that has been inherited for many years, the government did not care in the past, everyone followed the letter to see if there was a cheap profit, now Jinyiwei is so fierce and vicious, who is stupid to believe, and there are kowtows at each city gate to admit their mistakes.

The common people who came and went, regardless of whether there were incense pilgrims on the bow of the ship or not, looked at the incense people at the city gate and kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying that they had been blinded by lard, and since then they have withdrawn from the church.

I also saw a cart of incense burners pulled out of the city, those porcelain pottery directly smashed, those copper and iron directly flattened, and the incense on the bow of the boat that was carefully in awe, and his expression was frightened and angry, and he didn't dare to do anything or say anything.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and the position of the bow incense that Ping Suri felt mysterious and terrible plummeted in his heart, and quickly turned into a joke.

The weather in Tianjin in June is just right, there are no major events recently, and the various yamen are not subordinate to each other, so everyone has a habit of being late.

The lords of each family were noisy at night, and the next day they slept enough and went to the official office, and when they went to the official office, the city gate was open for more than two hours.

Everyone got up early today, and that was because the Jinyi Guard was searching the whole city for the bow incense, and the subordinates of each family knew that this was a big deal, and they would rather disturb their master's sweet dreams than wake up.

The official uniform of Panda has not yet been put on, and Wan Dao, the supervisor of grain, hurried over in a sedan chair, and saw that the eunuch had found a belt around his waist somewhere, and a square scarf was casually covered on his head.

There was not much panic on the eunuch's face, but there was something unbelievable and unwilling, and as soon as he entered the door, he tripped over the threshold and fell into the door.

Fortunately, the two servants on the side of the door hurriedly stretched out their hands to support them, and Na Wandao shook his head and waved his hand directly:

"Get out, get out, you can't come in without orders, quickly find someone to invite General Li to come over, go quickly!!"

The 'go quickly' shouted almost hoarsely, and the people in the house glanced at Panda and hurried out.

Soldier Dao Panda walked around the room anxiously, and the superintendent Wan Dao stared at him for a while, and suddenly said:

"Master Pan, you have to take care of this matter, you and I both know what that bastard Wang Tong did, no matter what, disaster is coming!"

"How to manage, how to manage Pan, the bow incense said that the sky is a good citizen, he Wang Tong is a thousand households in Jinyiwei, and he has the authority to patrol and investigate, this official is in charge of the people, and the official can do anything, can he say anything wrong, Gonggong Wan, Pan has already told you, let the bow incense be more restrained, more convergent, there is already a lot of silver on the river and the sea, what incense should be burned inside and outside the city, sooner or later a day will cause trouble, you still connivance and connivance, how about it, now that Wang Tong is difficult, what can you do, you have to take advantage of that little bit of cheapness, See how you confess!! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Dao immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Panda, his hands trembled, and he said sharply:

"Lord Pan, you can't say that, the profit money is sent to you, and I don't see you charge a penny, the situation of the Tianjin Acropolis is maintained by the two of us, that Wang Tong is like this, our family is unlucky, can you still sit firmly in this position, Lord Pan, the sixth cabinet department, Lord Pan, your big tree can't be relied on, if you don't have the support behind it, it's not like it will fall down as soon as it blows"

As soon as Wan Dao tore his face like this, Panda's face darkened, and then he turned around and walked a few steps in the house, then turned around and said:

"Pan didn't say that he didn't care, but in what name did Pan manage it, and how to manage it, the civil affairs of Tianjin City were known to the Qing army of Hejian Mansion." Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Panda raised his voice and said loudly:

"Send someone to ask Han Tongzhi, let Jinyiwei do such nonsense in the city, isn't he afraid that he, a five-grade official, will not be able to sit still, go and ask, and bring a message to the official after asking!"

Someone outside loudly agreed, and hurriedly went, Wan Dao completely lost his sense of proportion, and said in a shrieked voice:

"Master Pan, Shangshu impeached this Wang Tong, used soldiers and horses in the city, harassed the good people, caused the people to be frightened and uneasy, and said that Wang Tong had secretly raised soldiers and horses, with bad intentions."

As he was talking, he heard someone outside shouting:

"Master Li has arrived! ~~~~”

Panda and Wan Dao glanced at each other, they were silent, Li Dameng, the general guarding Tianjin, walked into the house, although he was neatly dressed, but his face was not very good, as soon as he entered the house, the Li staff general had not spoken, and Wan Dao, who was in charge of grain, had already stood up, and hurriedly said:

"Lord Li, hurry up and send troops into the city!! Send troops to drive out all the fans in the city! In broad daylight, it is said that the army enters the city, this is chaos, this is rebellion. ”

Counting, the oldest in the house is still this general Li Dameng, he is also more stable than the two of them, and after stepping into the door, he first turned around and said to his own soldiers:

"Stay away from the door!"

After the soldiers brought the door to the door, he glanced at Wan Dao coldly, sat on the seat without hesitation, and asked in a cold voice:

"Sending troops into the city? What are you doing in the city? When a certain family came on horseback, except for the brocade guards guarding the door, everywhere else was the same as usual, and there was no confusion at all. ”

"Don't see any soldiers on the streets?" "So fast?"

Hearing General Li Dameng say this, Panda and Wan Dao were stunned, and Wan Dao reacted at this time, when he rushed over from the mansion, there was nothing abnormal on the road.

"If the sons and daughters of a certain family enter the city, do you think that those boys will be restrained, and then it will be Qi Dashuai who will lead the soldiers to quell the 'chaos' of a certain family, I really didn't expect that the city gate was not opened early today, he Wang Tong led people into the city, drove out the group of people who were incense on the bow of the boat, and smashed the incense burner from door to door, it took less than two and a half hours, and now the market is so peaceful, it is the same as if there are no soldiers crossing the border, do the two adults know what this means!?"

Panda and Wan Dao glanced at each other, both a little confused, and General Li stood up and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"The march is fast, the order is forbidden, the military law is strict, this is a strong soldier, this is a strong soldier, if a certain family really leads troops into the city, he will pass through the city gate, how to attack it, hold out for three days, Jizhen soldiers are conscripted, who is making trouble, who is rebelling, have you thought of it?"

Soldier Dao Panda leaned back in his chair and sighed, muttering:

"It's only been a few months, how can he train such a soldier, how can he?"

"Tonghai Inn Chai boss begs for goodbye! ~~”

There was a rumor outside, Wan Dao and Pan Da jumped up as if their buttocks had been pricked by a needle, and Wan Dao actually shouted in front of Pan Da, the master:

"Please, come in!"

"These three houses will be used as places for each battalion to be stationed in the future, and each battalion will send twenty people to watch it first! ”

Wang Tong instructed his subordinates who were solemnly obeying the order in the official office of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and said to Cai Nan beside him after speaking:

"Merchants who put up signs should be registered as soon as possible, and the entry and exit of every amount of silver must be clear."

Cai Nan nodded, opened his mouth and said in a low voice:

"Lord Fang Cai is not here, Hang Baihu sent the names of the five incense heads of the bow incense, which are Jin Doucang, Chengguang, Puquan, Meng Jiande and Chen Cai."

There are a total of five incense heads in the bow of the boat, and they are in charge of everything, and these five names must be no different, but Chai Fulin of the Tonghai Inn is also known as the incense head, but he is not among these five people
