;Wu was in the martial arts hall, Emperor Wanli did not come, and Chen Sibao was not happy either, so he put the small wooden box containing the short fire system at the closest place to him.

Whenever we get to the break and in the middle, we will ignite the fire medium in the copper tube to replace the core. This afternoon, Huang Yang and Yu Datong's courses are different from the past. They talk about military tactics and deductions, and pay attention to the return journey. They often sigh and say their expectations for everyone.

This is quite in line with the mentality of the two old men. But the teenagers were impatient when they heard it, and it seemed that something was targeted at them.

The nobles in the capital are well-informed, so the Xiangchengbo family will definitely not want their children to get involved. The old eunuch and the veteran can naturally think of it from the perspective of separation.

When Wang Tong thought about this, he couldn't calm down. He didn't make any mistakes, why did he treat himself like this suddenly? Is the glory, wealth and wonderful life he worked hard to be empty soon?

In the afternoon, Wang Tong did not tell any strange stories, nor did Chen Sibao and others talk about the scenery and famous things of the capital. The teenagers gathered together and excitedly discussed the messages and specialties brought by their homes. The teenagers in the martial arts hall did not feel homesick, but were excited to celebrate the New Year outside.

Li Tao, Sun Xin and a dozen older teenagers were talking all day long about what kind of official background they could have after going out of this martial arts.

If the teachers had not repeatedly ordered them to be sworn brothers, I am afraid everyone in this martial arts hall would be righteous brothers. Wang Tongze would have to be a big brother.

By the time of supper, there was no movement. As usual, Wang Tong silently returned to his residence with a wooden box. The lights were still on in the deserted courtyard. When he walked in, he saw Ma Sanbiao waiting in the house, and Li Wenyuan was there. He thought that Li Hutou, who was going home, was practicing in the yard with a spear that was much taller than him.

Seeing them, Wang Tong was a little stunned. Li Hutou excitedly put down his spear and said:

"Brother Wang, my senior brother has ordered several dishes at Zhenxing Building, and I'm waiting for you to come back to eat. Hurry up, this big gun is too tired to practice."

"The master is back, my mother insisted on coming over. Brother Zhang and I at least persuaded me, but my mother called me again. If someone hadn't been watching from the village, Brother Zhang and Butler Tan would have come over, too."

Li Wenyuan also walked out and glared at Li Hu's head first. Li Hu's head immediately saw a cat, and then picked up the big gun and started practicing. Li Wenyuan had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, we share wealth and honor with you. Of course, we have to go through hardships. This way, it will make the people below feel too happy."

Ma Sanbiao said at the top of his voice:

"My master is right. When eating meat and drinking, you can't complain if you encounter difficulties. Sir, please warm up inside first, and I'll go to Zhenxinglou to urge the food."

Wang Tong nodded, Li Wenyuan shook his head and looked at Ma Sanbiao's back and sighed:

"Sanbiao called me master. Hutou called me dad. My subordinates also called you an adult, but Hutou called you a elder brother. It's really a mess of his seniority. When the tiger head is stabbed, he can't use up his strength!"

After saying that, he went down to give Li Hutou's practice. Wang Tong lowered his head and walked into the house. The stove was burning in the house. There was a pot on the charcoal brazier to boil water. The lights were very bright. Wang Tong suddenly felt that his eyes were wet. He covered them with his hands and dared not let go. He stopped before he put down his hand.

The true feelings were seen in distress, perhaps this is what it means. Net sat down in the house, opened the wooden box and started to tidy up the fire mirror. Not long after, I heard the door outside and heard Ma Sanbiao's loud voice sound:

"Master, Hutou, come into the house for dinner, it will be cold after a while!"

Li Hutou cheered and rushed in quickly. Ma Sanbiao walked into the house with a large food box in one hand. He walked into the house and put it down, but did not rush to open the cloth dishes, but turned out an envelope and walked over.

"Master, I was walking halfway through the road, and I was blindly lit and I met with someone. The man kept saying that I had dropped the letter, put the letter on the food box and ran away. When I figured out that the letter was his, the person could no longer see it. This was strange, so I specially brought it to the master to see it."

There was such a strange thing in extraordinary times. Wang took the letter and naturally couldn't see the text on the envelope. When he opened the letter, he saw that it was:

"The wind and rain are heavy, brothers should be careful. Old Dong, a soldier in Andingmen, is greedy for money by nature. If he wants to leave the city, ten taels are enough. Take care of it."

There is no signature, but Wang Tong is a little familiar with the handwriting. I remember one day I was chatting. The judge Lu Wancai once said that the government can convict by relying on handwriting. If you practice a little, you can write the characters with your left hand. This handwriting is completely different from usual, and the government will not start from it.

When the popularity came, Lu Wancai wrote several demonstrations with his left hand. Now, I think about it, Lu Tongjue probably made preparations for the scene like today, because the words on the letter were too similar to those written that day.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gates were all soldiers of the Five City Military Commanders. These soldiers usually make money by blackmailing pedestrians and merchants entering and leaving the city gates. Lu Wancai named the old garrison soldier alone, thinking that there were some special tricks.

The Shuntian Mansion, the two good friends, used to come here to visit each other every day. He had to ask Canlian to ridicule him even if he had no words, but today he had never visited the door. However, he could send this letter. Wang Tong couldn't say that they were unlucky. After all, Lu Wan was the magistrate of Shuntian Mansion and was a civil servant. When it comes to such matters, no matter whether Wang Tong was good or not, he would not mess up in the officialdom in the future. Wang Si and Li Gui were even natives in the capital, with family and career. They dare not involve them.

To be honest, it was already a big risk for the people over there to send this letter, and this friend did not make friends in vain.

However, the situation is flat, and it is hard to say that the old Dong from Andingmen is trustworthy or not. It is better to ask someone to inquire. It is really time to come, and he hurried over and hit a trap. That is not worth it.

Several people had already walked into the house. No one dared to disturb the letter Wang Tong dared to disturb him, but they were all interested in the content in the letter. After reading it, Wang Tong kneaded it into a ball and threw it into the charcoal brazier in front. He said with a smile:

"Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong, I'm hungry, let's have a meal soon!"

The letter and the envelope were burned to ashes, and everyone knew to keep silent. When Ma Sanbiao finished eating, he went to return the food box, Wang Tong whispered to Li Wenyuan:

"Tomorrow, Brother Li will go to Andingmen to inquire about what is the gatekeeper of Old Dong? You must be careful and not make any noise."

Li Wenyuan nodded and agreed. Li Wenyuan was calm in his work. Moreover, because of Li Hutou, there would be no risk. He could do this again.

,.

Many of Wang Tong's preparations were not completed yet, and Li Wenyuan had not yet gone to Andingmen to inquire. The next day, the door of Wang Tong's family slammed.

Wang Tong, who hadn't sleep much, immediately stretched his hand to the pillow, took out the fire mirror that had been filled with ammunition, and took the fuse and lit it in the incense burner in the house. He could hear the sound of speaking outside. Ma Sanbiao, who stood up and opened the door, had a loud voice:

"Isn't this Eunuch Cai? It's so early today!"

"San brother, hurry up and call Lord Wang to get up, there is an imperial edict!"

"Imperial edict, imperial edict! Master! Lao Mou!!".

It was obvious that Ma Sanbiao didn't react in his mind. When he reacted, the voice trembled and he was almost roaring outside.

Listening to the tone of the outside speech, the imperial edict should not be a crime, otherwise Cai Nan would not be so kind. Wang Tong pondered for a while, pulled out a short knife and cut off the fuse, and stomped the burning end with the sole of the boot. Wang Tong did not take off his clothes and sleep. He placed the fuse and fuse in a corner of the main hall, and then lit a candle.

Only then did he open the door of the house, but he saw Gao Yi wearing a black robe with tight sleeves holding the imperial edict in his hands, holding the imperial edict. Behind him were two young eunuchs of the Jinyiwei, Cai Nan and another smaller one, standing on the side.

Is the Jinyiwei here to catch him? Wang Tong quickly denied this because the two Jinyiwei were tall and upright, wearing brand new flying fish suits, and even the embroidered spring knife scabbard on the chair was polished brightly. With such a body, there was only one type of Jinyiwei, that is, the "Grand Han General." He was responsible for the ceremonial journey, but he did not have any formal tasks.

The Han generals usually followed the eunuchs to announce the imperial edict in the capital. This should not be for the capture. Wang Tong reacted to this and then looked at Cai Nan. He was stunned when he saw that. Before he could speak, Li Hu's head, who rubbed his eyes and squeezed out, screamed happily:

"Xiaoliang, why are you here? Are you living in the palace well?"

The little eunuch was actually Zhao Jinliang, wearing a green robe, standing next to Cai Nan with his head down. But when he saw Wang Tong and Li Hu's heads, his face also showed an excited look.

"Wang Baihu, the imperial edict has arrived, you"

The two Jinyiweis behind saw that the courtyard was in chaos and there was a state of receiving orders. Wang Tong was just a small family, so he was determined to scold him. The Yi of the Buyi turned around and waved his hand and said kindly.

"Wang Baihu, please accept the order!".

He brought Zhao Jinliang again, and Cai Nan and Buyi's attitude was so kind again. Wang Tong was also confused, as if it was not the same as the wind direction ahead.

Wang Tong was stunned there. The following meaning reminded him again in a soft voice:

"Happy hundred households

Wang Tong then realized that he had moved a step. He was stunned again. He didn't know how to answer the order. Looking at Wang Tong's expression, Gao Yi understood and turned around and said to the two Jinyiwei:

"Two lieutenants, please help Wang Baihu arrange the scene of receiving the order. He is not familiar with it either."

The two Jinyiwei were completely confused. What kind of rules are they? It is worthy of the money they need to pay less money to announce the edict at any family. Why do they even need to announce the edict at this hundred households?

They were both slandering, but they couldn't afford to offend them, so they had to do so.

After all preparations stopped, Wang Tong and his group knelt in front of the incense table, and Gao Yi launched an imperial edict:
Chapter completed!
