Chapter 4 Make a Heavy Bet

Tian Ronghao took the wooden box with a look of surprise, but unexpectedly, the wooden box was very heavy and almost fell. He immediately put his arm around and lifted the lid.

With a "hiss", Tian Baihu and the people behind him took a deep breath. They did a lot of things to search the house and arrest them. They were knowledgeable and naturally recognized what they saw. This was enough gold. Tian Ronghao estimated the weight, which was about a dozen pounds, which was at least a thousand and hundreds of taels of silver.

Although the Jinyiwei is majestic, he is mixed with dragons and snakes at the feet of the emperor and dare not be too presumptuous. The benefits are not as many as outsiders have seen. Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the biggest jobs in the foreign countries have been less and less, and everyone is more hard-working. As for Guangdong and Macau, the journey is long and people think it is a place of smoke and chaos, so they sent Wang Li to it.

Unexpectedly, in the places in Macau, the rich and wealthy maritime merchants in China had many shameful activities. Wang Li received a lot of benefits. After he followed Wang Li to promote it, he attracted Liu Xinyong.

So much silver is a real big sum of money for people like Tian Ronghao. Moreover, in front of everyone, this little kid Wang Tong explained the cause and effect. Wang Li borrowed it from him. Now that people's debts are paid off, it is reasonable and no one can tell.

The Jinyiwei has a weight. Although the hundred households are not of high rank, they have extremely strong real power. Those who can achieve this position are smart people. Tian Ronghao's arms are heavy, but he looks at Wang Tong standing in front of him and asked in a deep voice:

"Have your dad said anything else?"

Wang Tong knelt down with a "thump", kowtowed a few times, and said in a crying voice:

"When I say that, my deceased father... my deceased father said that the villain was lonely and helpless, and wanted to ask the adult to take care of him, and make up for the vacancy in the Jinyiwei, so that the old uncle could take care of the younger one..."

Wang Tong was so sad that he was extremely lucky. He bet right. The official did know this hint and inexplicably had more money. The other party must have asked for something. As expected, Tian Ronghao asked back.

The price of 1,600 taels of silver is exchanged for the Jinyiwei. It is really hard to say whether the price is high or low. This can only be said whether the person involved feels it is worth it.

"Mr. Tian, ​​is Wang Tong too young?"

No one expected that the one who spoke first was Liu Xinyong, the general bannerman. Liu Xinyong looked full of doubts and could not see anything strange, but it confirmed Wang Tong's idea.

Tian Baihu turned around and glanced coldly. Liu Xinyong's heart trembled. He knew that he was rash. Tian Baihu said calmly and said:

"Why are there any young people at the age of thirteen? Didn't your nephew get food after he was eleven?"

Liu Xinyong lowered his head regretfully and did not dare to speak anymore. Tian Ronghao turned to Wang Tong and said in a stern voice:

"All of them are their own children. Since your father wants you to continue eating this money and food, when you understand these things, you go to me and give you a place to replenish your strongman!!"

The most grassroots member of the Jinyiwei was called Lishi, and he became a captain if he was a little older. Hearing Tian Ronghao's words, Wang Tong felt at ease and kowtowed heavily.

No one wanted to stay in this mourning hall for a long time. Since it was settled, everyone turned around and left. Before leaving, Tian Ronghao of Miyao turned around and asked casually:

"I'll give back all the money. What should I do if you are a child? How much does it cost?"

Wang Tong was stunned and knelt there and replied:

"There are more than 100 taels of silver. When I get food and salary as a servant, I will live enough."

Tian Ronghao nodded with a smile and turned around and left. Wang Tong was stunned for a while. The cold wind outside the mourning hall blew, but it made him shudder.

The last question and answer actually made him sweat all over his body. He took out so much gold at one time, which made Tian Baihu feel moved. He wanted to test how much money Wang Tong still has. If there was still more, he might have to take over the family property. However, Wang Tong reacted quickly and reported a number that was not worth the effort. Everyone also felt that the child would not lie, so he avoided a disaster inadvertently.

The Jinyiwei has never had any negligence, and if there is a negligence, the negligence will be inherited and supplemented by his sons and nephews. However, after the Zhengtong years of Emperor Yingzong, the system was corrupted, and the Jinyiwei often had a negligence but could not make up for it. The negligence was replaced by others.

After finishing the funeral and being buried in peace, Wang Tong had 420 taels of silver left in his hand, and he hid it under the secret wall in the bedroom.

When he and his father depended on each other for their lives, they also knew that the expenses were spent. The Wang family had already considered the best food and clothing. They spent less than ten taels of silver a year. These 420 taels could do a lot of things, but eating up the mountain is not a long-term solution, and they could not survive in this world.

All major events must be done, but Wang Tong was lonely and mourned at home for seven days, then went to Jinyi Guard to register for the fee.

Although the Jinyiwei is also a guard, it is not concentrated because of its special functions and composition. Except for special institutions, the Jinyiwei members all live at home and go to Dao to serve on duty every day. If thousands of people go to the Fushiyamen in the north and south to report, it is impossible.

Therefore, according to convention, the Jinyiwei of the Capital went to the hundreds of households to which they belonged, and waited for orders to be assigned.

On the second day of October, Wang Tong got up early. Modern experience told him that he must go early on the first day of joining the job and give his boss a good impression.

Although the clothes on his body were half old, they had been washed clean long ago. Wang Tong cleaned up carefully before leaving.

The area under which Tian Ronghao, a hundred households, was nearby. It was not far from the house to the Tian family's house for only a stick of incense. When he went out, he was in a daze and could not see anyone at the door of the Tian family. Wang Tong was not in a hurry and waited there slowly.

The first person he saw was a Bai family servant who came out of the Tian family. He asked him clearly and turned around again. Soon after, he came out and took Wang Tong in.

Tian Ronghao was practicing boxing in the yard in casual clothes. He was a little surprised when he saw Wang Zhuo coming, but then he nodded in praise.

The ones that Tian Baihu often sees are rough men, with a very strong market atmosphere and very sloppy. Wang Tong cleans up cleanly and behaves gently and decently, and looks very comfortable. In addition, he has a friendship of thousands of dollars, so he naturally has a great impression of it.

After a few words of advice, Tian Ronghao arranged for a man to take Wang Tong to the Jinyiwei in Xicheng to get his waist and clothes in the yamen, and asked him to come back to get the mission after finishing the processing.

After going through the Siyamen, he was in the west city of the capital. After receiving his waist and his outfit, the sun was already west.

The time for assignment was over. The front door of Tian Baihu's main entrance was as empty as when he came in the morning, and a middle-aged man was waiting at the door.
