Chapter 654: Thief
"This son is flying and domineering, and he must be Qian Ning and his ilk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
A cadre watched Wang Tong's brigade in Beijing gradually move away, and the smile on Ji Yong's face was long gone, and it turned into a look of resentment.
Xu Guang, the grain supervisor on the side, also said hatefully:
"However, this Wang Tong is deeply favored and trusted by the Lord of Long Live Lord, and if he continues like this, he will definitely corrupt the dynasty and mess up my society."
Yu Jiyong was transferred to Tianjin Wei because of You Qi's relationship, and Huguang, the supervisor of grain, had a relationship with Feng Bao, and now Zhang Juzheng died of illness, Feng Bao was expelled from Beijing, and the two of them also became rootless wanderers.
If there is no backer in the officialdom, don't say that it is a promotion, whether you can keep this position, whether you will return to your hometown safely are two words, the two of them came to Tianjin Wei was pressed by Wang Tong and couldn't raise their heads, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao's loss of power made these two people panic all day.
Although he also gave the upstart of the Beijing division a relationship, everyone knows that this is really inaccurate, but it is ridiculous that Xu Guang still worshiped under Feng Bao's door back then, Feng Bao came to Tianjin Wei this time, and Tianjin officialdom is well known, but he doesn't pay attention to it at all.
His own family is in such an embarrassment, but Wang Tong is so proud, it will be of great use to go to Beijing, the two of them are not good and loyal, how can they not be jealous.
The two of them said a few words hatefully, Yu Jiyong looked back and saw that the other officials were already far away, so he sneered and said:
"Gonggong Xu, Jingshi is a place where the clear stream gathers, they must not sit back and watch such ministers fly high, and see that this Wang Tong is proud at this time, when the time comes, the Qing Dynasty will discuss impeachment, and they will definitely teach him a lesson."
"Lord Yu is really upright"
Xu Guang smiled and said with a thumbs up.
During the first month, the official road between Jingshi and Tianjin Wei was still frozen hard, and the cart walked on the road, but there was no need to worry about falling into muddy soft soil and other troubles.
Even so, the cart dragged by four horses walks on the official road, and you can also see the rutted white marks of the iron-clad wooden wheels on the road, and there are many pedestrians on the official road.
With such a scale and more than 100 big cars, if you make a vote, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat it in this life, but when you see those elite knights shuttling in the large convoy, and the big flag that is raised with a flagpole at the head of the team, any thoughts are left behind.
"Jinyiwei commands Wang Tong", seeing these big words, some of the people who saw it were silent, and hurriedly bowed their heads to avoid it, the common people didn't know, but who didn't know the characters in the green forest, the heroes on the land and sea offended Wang Tong, some were destroyed, and some were made to be eagle dogs, if you want to live well, don't provoke such a killing god.
There are so many big cars, and they are heavy-loaded, so naturally they can't go fast, but fortunately, the post stations along the way are also complete, and they stop for a while.
At night, the carts are gathered in a heap, the horses are in the stables, and the accompanying "domestic servants" and guards are on duty in shifts to keep watch all night.
Before Wang Tong went to Beijing, he had already sent people to inform the arrangements along the way, so that the various post stations under Tianjin Wei could purchase grain and straw in advance, so that there would not be a shortage of supply.
Out of the first day, everything was safe, at noon on the second day, from Tianjin Wei's fast horse caught up with Wang Tong, although people went to Beijing to take up their posts, but at present, the affairs of Tianjin Wei everywhere in the imperial court did not have a clear arrangement, then naturally in accordance with the previous rules, everything was reported to Wang Zhixiao.
"Yu Jiyong and Xu Guang didn't send a letter to Jingshi that month, and communicated with their friends, so they could report it every month, so they didn't have to worry so much...... They treat the official as a three-year-old child, and they are afraid that the official will suffer a loss when he goes to Beijing. ”
Wang Tong was in the room of the post station, patted the newspaper on the table and said with a wry smile, Yang Sichen on the side was wearing a robe, and he also said with a smile:
"Yu Jiyong and Xu Guang sent the letterhead to Jingshi on weekdays, but not at this time, and the letterhead they sent to Jingshi on weekdays, we can almost see it, but this time it was not touched, and the cronies they sent to Jingshi went to Jingshi."
Wang Tong nodded, and casually threw the newspaper aside, these two people are now in an embarrassing situation, the support of the Beijing division has gone, the new backer has not been found, what kind of storm can be set off, it would be good to be able to keep his own family, Wang Tong didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Wang Tong's wry smile and complaint are not unreasonable, Wang Tong went this time, arranged for the people who stayed behind, arranged for the people to follow, and took away a large sum of silver, which in his opinion was enough.
Originally, Wang Tong brought more than 100 people to guard according to the regulations, and there were more than 500 soldiers who were considered to be domestic servants, and the strength in his hands was already enough, but Cai Nan and Li Hutou and other generals from the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall discussed and selected the two earliest battalions of firearms soldiers who followed Wang Tong in the past, and selected more than 100 people from each battalion who performed well and were always loyal, and replaced the 500 people selected by Wang Tong at will.
These 500 people, with 1,000 guns, not to mention the ammunition, the armor is all the best plate armor made by the craftsman, the weapons and ordnance are the most sophisticated goods, and the natural maintenance and replenishment are all in charge of the Tianjin Wei side.
Wang Tong was really startled when he saw this list, called Li Hutou over, and said with a smile;
"What do you think this official is going to Beijing to do, it is to take office, not to rebel, if these things are known by His Majesty, there is no need for others to slander, Your Majesty will be suspicious and angry, these things don't have to be transported with the team, if you really need it, and then make preparations, it is not far from the left and right."
On the evening of the third day, the officials and gentry of Xianghe County specially came to greet them with carriages and horses, and prepared a reward of wine and meat.
This kind of greeting and sending back and forth is a common thing in officialdom, Wang Tong had to go and drink two glasses, rejected the powder arranged by the county government, and returned to the inn to rest.
On the morning of the fourth day, Wang Tong usually got up earlier than everyone else, and asked the people at the post station to prepare hot water, and only after washing his face a few times, he heard a commotion outside, and someone outside shouted at the top of his voice:
"Lord Wang, subordinate Chen Dahe"
This sentence is even a report, and then he walked in in a hurry, Chen Dahe's arrow wound has been recuperated, during the recuperation period, his position was temporarily replaced by others, this time he went to Beijing to take up his post, he had free time here, and he was a person who could be used by his cronies, so he took it directly to Beijing.
At present, Chen Dahe is following as Wang Tong's personal guard, and he is responsible for arranging the daily carriages and horses, and the night guard is arranged by him, Wang Tong stopped, but Chen Dahe's face was ugly, and the report said:
"My lord, I lost a cart of silver"
Hearing this, Wang Tong was stunned, and Chen Dahe said again:
"The subordinates stop every night to count, get up early and check, the number of big cars this morning is right, but when the people below set the car, there is a car that is light, and the subordinates are called to go over and see, and it is empty."
"Lost fifteen thousand taels?"
Wang Tong was really stunned, every carriage was pulling a huge amount of silver, in this era, a family of four middle and upper class, twelve taels of silver a year is enough, this fifteen thousand taels of feet can make people rich, or let a few people get rich, such a huge amount of money, it will indeed make people take risks, but they dare to provoke the tiger power of the tiger army, this is really too bold.
After a while, Wang Tong's team had already gotten up, and the news of losing a cart of silver gradually spread, and there was a faint commotion, Chen Dahe and Ma Sanbiao, who rushed to hear the news, were full of shame on their faces, Wang Tong was stunned, the expression on his face was curious, fifteen thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money, but it is nothing to Wang Tong, but who is so bold to dare to steal this silver, with the strict rules of the Huwei army, what means are used to approach this side, this is what makes Wang Tong interested.
"Take me to see it"
Wang Tong said with a smile, after saying this, Ma Sanbiao and Chen Dahe, who came over, breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the door together, the shopkeeper of this Sanjiang Inn was kneeling at the door, and when he saw Wang Tong coming out, he knocked his head and said in fear:
"The little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned, but please deal with them by the adult's military law?"
Wang Tong smiled and waved his hand, and said:
"It's not your fault, the two of them didn't take a good look at the night guards, even if it's military law, it's the two of them, and it has nothing to do with you."
The shopkeeper still kowtowed, but the reparation became gratitude, Chen Dahe and Ma Sanbiao were quite thick-skinned, knowing that Wang Tong was just joking, they were all there to laugh, when Wang Tong walked by the shopkeeper, he said with a smile:
"If Saburo Yanagi is here, there shouldn't be such a mistake."
I went to the location of the cart over there, but now this is the outermost edge of the south, Tan General is leading people to check over there, except for twenty soldiers, the rest of the people have been driven out to busy their own errands, seeing Wang passing, Tan will nod to Bao Erxiao's side, Bao Erxiao got up and said:
"My lord, there is a rut that goes out along here, and the rut marks that come in are so shallow that you can't see it, but the rut that goes out is very deep, and I just asked the guys in this inn, last night for the forage of the horses, the people hired everywhere drove the cart to this side of the forage, and it should be in the name of sending forage, and took advantage of the panic to park the cart next to the car, and moved the silver two into the cart that transported the grass, and then went out again."
Wang Tong nodded and asked:
"Who can do this in the area of Beijing and Tianjin?"
Bao Erxiao frowned and thought about it, looked left and right again, and replied:
"The villain's house is mainly on the salt road, and these are really unfamiliar."
"I wonder if I'm here tonight?"
Wang Tong smiled casually.
