Chapter 213: Troubles

"What did Wang Tong say?"

"It is said that the arrears of these months must be settled before the fifth day of the first month, and it is also said that since Jinyiwei is the Tianjin Jinyiwei Punishment Thousands of Households, it must be treated as the main army, and the whole rice must be issued, no treasure money, and no discount will be given."

In the military garrison office, Panda did not go home for the New Year, and on the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, he sat on the main hall and listened to Han Tingcai's crying below.

Seeing his subordinates being beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and a few embarrassed soldiers outside, the deputy envoy's face was gloomy and terrifying.

"Where are the silver and the banknotes?"

"Lord Wang, no, then Wang Tong made a note and said that he would accept five hundred and twenty taels of silver, and the rest of the arrears have not yet been made up."

Hearing this, Panda could no longer suppress his anger, slapped the bookcase, and shouted angrily:

"Bastard, rude warrior!!"

Halfway through the words, he stopped, thinking about the various scenes of Qin Cha's low voice to Wang Tong and receiving the order, Pan Da felt a little more jealous in his heart, and waved his hand at Han Tingcai in disgust:

"Useless thing, don't get out of here yet!!"

After Han Tingcai wept and kowtowed, he got up and walked out quickly, where Panda groaned for a while, and commanded in a deep voice:

"Let's just say that the yamen is closed for the New Year, and if you don't see any outsiders, you all go out."

The servants and servants in the hall answered the call and retreated, and Panda bowed his head and turned through the screen behind the bookcase and entered the inner hall.

The so-called inner hall is just a space separated by a screen in the main hall of this errand, and when Panda turned in, Wan Dao, the eunuch who supervised the grain, was sitting on a chair.

"Father-in-law, I heard those words just now, trouble, trouble!"

Panda sighed, sat opposite Wan Dao, shook his head dejectedly, and Wan Dao said indifferently:

"There are many people who can make Qin Cha treat him so politely, maybe it is a relative of the father-in-law, the letter written by our family has been on the road yesterday, and the news will be back on the first day of the first month."

Bingbei Dao Panda took a sip of tea, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice:

"Pan also sent someone to Jingshi to ask, but there is one thing I don't understand, if he is really a great character, why did he come to Tianjin Sanwei to make trouble, how many good places are there in the world."

Wan Dao chuckled a few times and said:

"Tianjin is the intersection of land and water, the north-south and north-south exchanges, naturally it is also a benefit, it is not wrong to come here, Master Pan, you don't have to be surprised when we say something, what is this military salary and silver worth, just scratch the head of the camp and come out, give it to him, why bother with it!?"

With a wry smile on his face, Panda said:

"Wan Gonggong's words are simple, these are a few percent of rice, a few percent of money, a few percent of losses, a few points of carriages and horses, this is a rule in the world, if Pan breaks this rule, he will not be able to stay in this position in a few days, maybe he will be sent to the sky and the sea to suffer, and everyone will not be convenient at that time." Wan Dao took a sip of tea, and said with a smile:

"That is, you have a lot of civil and official affairs, and you will deduct them at all levels, and you will talk about the rules and regulations, as if it is the law of your ancestors, let's put it here, don't delay the big money because of this little money, when the time comes, everyone will not look good."

Speaking of this, Panda nodded cautiously.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the door of the main hall was opened, and Panda frowned suddenly, and before he could speak, he heard his servant shout in fear:

"Master, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, hundreds of people outside have blocked the main entrance!!"

As soon as they heard this, Panda and Wan Dao looked at each other and stood up, and Panda hurriedly turned out of the screen and asked:

"What's going on, who's surrounding the door?"

The servant wept and said in a hurry:

"It's Jinyiwei, they came to make trouble, saying that they can't afford to pay for the New Year and can't live!"

Panda was stunned for a moment, then grabbed a porcelain vase in his hand and threw it heavily on the ground, looked at the servant who was stunned there, and said hatefully:

"What are you still doing there stupidly, go to General Li's side to transfer troops for defense."

Wan Dao, the eunuch of the grain prison, also walked out, looked at the servants who crawled out with a rolling belt, and listened to the increasingly loud noise and shouts outside, his face was also very complicated, and he said:

"This Wang Tong is really unscrupulous."

"Father-in-law Wan, you have to be a witness to this matter today, he is a brocade guard and a thousand households, first beat the officials who gave salaries, and then actually came to make trouble in front of my official office, and there is no officialdom system, does this still want the dignity of the court!!"

Wan Dao smiled bitterly and said to Panda, who was a little crazy:

"Master Pan, I don't know the details of this Wang Tong, let's be careful first, our family left from Houmen first, Lord Pan doesn't have to worry too much, in broad daylight, then Wang Tong doesn't dare to make too much trouble."

After speaking, Wan Dao arched his hand and left familiarly, and the sound outside became louder and louder.

After the officials and soldiers who had sent the silver fled in embarrassment, Wang Tong returned to the main house with a gloomy face, and the more than 500 taels of silver and more than 400 yuan of treasure money also moved in.

As soon as Wang Tong entered the house, there was a sudden stirring outside, but Wang Tong also remembered that he had killed the mighty stick, and no one dared to open his mouth.

After discussing for a long time, Hang Daqiao, who is usually a bit of a popular person, was pushed out, this Hang Baihu also has a small calculation in his heart, he took more silver than others on Wang Tong's side, and today's six months of silver came down, why couldn't he take more, so he also entered the house half-pushed.

Except for Wang Tong, everyone in the room was standing on both sides, Tan Jiang and the two tall teenagers stood at the front, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and they didn't say anything when they saw Hang Daqiao coming in.

Hang Baihu coughed dryly, stepped forward and said:

"Adults come, it's really out of the sun, six months of silver is sent over, the small people outside are very admired, the subordinates are thinking about the cleaning is almost finished, according to the rules and clearly say that they have to spend the New Year at home, adults, you see if you will send this silver down, let everyone kowtow to you is to worship the early years."

Wang Tong stared at Hang Daqiao with a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice:

"You just owe 28 months of salary, and you still admire this total of such a point?"

Hang Daqiao replied with a smile:

"There are a lot, some of them are good, who dislikes how much!"

Seeing that Wang Tong's face was wrong, he pondered and hurriedly said:

"My lord is working so hard, the brothers below are all sensible, this time a total of three hundred and fifty taels of silver were issued above, and the brothers don't bother the lord......"

This means that almost two hundred taels of silver were set aside for Wang Tong himself, and this amount of money was not in Wang Tong's eyes, but it was a large proportion of the amount of military pay this time.

After listening to the other party's proposal, Wang Tong shook his head and stood up, and said in a deep voice:

"Let everyone stop their work and line up outside the door, the sea, you are going out on horseback first, call all our people at the inn, and leave ten men and women and children to watch the house together, hurry up."

Nahang Daqiao smiled like a flower, and said in a loud voice:

"Adults, are you going to pay, the little ones are going to call everyone over, and I'm going to go right away!!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the door, and Zhang Shiqiang on the side called Li Tao and Sun Xin, and asked first:

"Are you going to move this money out?"

Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Don't send it when you move out, send six months' salary, and the deduction has reached this point, and the official doesn't have time to play those official tricks with the military preparation dao yamen, and I don't know when it will be delayed, so I want to make a profit."

After saying that, he strode out of the door, and walked out of the courtyard, and the street outside was full of people, and the brocade guards who were working heard that there was a salary to be paid, and they all ran to gather outside the door.

Wang Tong stood there and looked below, his very numb face was a little angry at this time, Wang Tong bent down to open the box, reached out and grabbed four or five silver ingots, and then threw it back.

The silver shone in the sun, and everyone's eyes were focused on it, and Wang Tong opened his mouth and said loudly:

"How much does Bingbeidao owe you, twenty-eight months, even if it is calculated according to the usual practice of ten months a year, there are five thousand eight hundred taels of silver, and this is only five hundred taels of silver, are you tempted? That's all you have to offer? That's all you see? ”

This kind of stimulating statement is a common means of motivating employees in that life, first to provoke anger, and then to motivate and encourage, unexpectedly, after saying this, many people below nodded again and again.

Wang Tong only felt very weak, and then his heart was ruthless, since he couldn't encourage it, then whip it, he kicked the lid of the silver box and said loudly:

"Come with me to the Yamen of the Military Preparation Road, and let that Panda send down all the arrears, and after it is issued, the official will not deduct a penny, and you will all take it back for the New Year!!"

When these words were spoken, the soldiers below showed hesitant and cowering expressions on their faces, Wang Tong snorted coldly, and said loudly:

"If you go along, even if the Panda can't give you the silver, the official will make up for the arrears of these years, all according to the silver and grain, and will not give you a discount.

There are also a lot of family members and teenagers under Wang Tong's hands, and at this time, they are standing on both sides with sticks and watching coldly, Sun Dahai and Ma Sanbiao are not speechless, but they just open the box there, pick up the silver ingots inside, throw them a few times, and then throw them back.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the silver, and their breathing gradually became heavier, and Wang Tong asked loudly again:

"To go!?"

The arrow is on the string, those who don't go will be beaten and the money will be returned, and those who go will have an expectation of making money, and I don't know who started it, and everyone is clamoring:

"I want to pay, I want silver to go for the New Year!!"
