Wang Tong turned his head and saw Zhang Shiqiang with a worried look on his face. Before the other party could speak, he said first:

"Brother Zhang, do you know a bricklayer, a carpenter, and a chef who cooks food?"

In the past few days, Wang Tong has acted too many strangely, but this problem is normal. Zhang Shiqiang was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously. He was also considered a local snake in this area, and most of the various ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral ancestral

Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Please ask Brother Zhang to invite all these people to the teahouse. I have a job for them to do, and the price is easy to say..."

The merchants on South Street are not welcome to have two Jinyiwei walking around the street every day. Customers and pedestrians always have a fear of Jinyiwei.

With this overly enthusiastic little Jinyiwei walking back and forth, everyone felt that there were fewer customers. Wang Tong inspected for a few days, and the merchants privately discussed whether this was a new way to knock money and whether everyone wanted to give some money, so Lord Wang would not continue to inspect and walk around.

However, it took less than five days of active activity. The next two people were not sure what they were doing except seeing Wang Tong in the morning and seeing the two people walking back after the end of the day.

It's almost November, and the weather is very cold, and it's the most unsuitable for civil engineering construction at this time. But bricklayers, plasterers, and house-building servants all went to the Jinyiwei Wang Tong.

Several large stores on the street are well-informed, saying that Mr. Xiao Wang has gone to many shops and warehouses these days and bought a lot of bricks and tiles and wood. It seems that he wants to build a house.

Some kind-hearted people want to persuade, and some complain about Zhang Shiqiang, thinking that Wang Tong doesn't understand at such a young age, so you don't want to persuade him. You are just on duty and you have to build a house. Not to mention that building a house in this season is not appropriate, and letting your colleague Shangguan see it is not a big deal.

But Zhang Shiqiang was so busy that he was not stuck in the ground, and no one could find him. The situation of starting construction was quite strange. It was probably the renovation of the old house of the Wang family.

But no one can understand what they do. Before the start of construction, the house was surrounded by thick bamboo poles and tarpaulin hit the shelves. The outside looked like a big shed, but everything inside was covered by tarpaulin. It was even more curious to hear the jingle inside.

The widow of the neighbor of Wang's house has also recently gone to the streets and alleys to those lonely families, and has not even done the work of sewing clothes. This is a strange thing.

Someone who is interested wanted to inquire, but Wang Tong greeted everywhere and was not allowed to approach, otherwise he would be polite. The places where the craftsmen and laborers lived were also houses rented by Wang Tong, and the widows of horses and those poor families were even more tight-lipped.

The more mysterious it is, the more curious everyone becomes. Even passers-by and customers who come and go there have to point fingers and guess what they are going to do.

October 30th is the day when the monthly bill is closed. Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang have to show up. It is also the rule of the past. The two of them are waiting in the private room of the teahouse.

Soon, some shopkeepers from various merchants came in person, and some were accountants who smiled and sent money to do business in the capital. Everyone had their relationships and backers, but they could buy money for peace and convenience, and no one was reluctant to give it.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the money sent by each company is one cent, and the remaining fraction is a fraction, and you won’t find it. If you summarize it, it looks like two taels.

Wang Tong knew it was just giving himself an extra small account. He had to be polite. When the money was paid, Wang Tong stood up and said:

"Wang and you are neighbors who have been neighbors for many years. Now you are working here and you have received a lot of care. Tomorrow, Wang is the host of Zhenxing Building, and invites shopkeepers from all over the world, and also invites everyone to enjoy the gift."

After saying that, he clasped his fists and turned around for a while, then took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shiqiang, and arranged for him to go to Zhenxing Building to book a seat.

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that the little Jinyiwei wanted everyone to treat him, so they were about to pinch their noses and endure it. Who would have thought that they would take out five taels of silver and really didn't know what to do.

Tian Baihu's house usually does not allow the soldiers and military academy to enter, but today is different. Wang Tong and the servant who opened the door said, "Come and send it to October." After reporting, he immediately put it in.

The house was vast. Wang Tong thought he could see the old servant who had gotten up early to clean up, but he could not see any trace. In the afternoon, Tian Baihu also came back from the peacekeeping department and was waiting for him in the wing room.

Wang Tong, who was good at observing others, keenly noticed that when he entered the door, Tian Ronghao of Baihu frowned and his face was as heavy as water.

According to the rules, he kowtowed to the gift and delivered a silver box. Wang Tong said respectfully:

"Mr. Tian, ​​this is an October member, a total of 52 taels. Please check it out."

Before coming, Zhang Shiqiang had dissuaded Wang Tong because the money was kept in full by the rules, and the rest was handed over to Liu Xinyong, the general bannerman, and then Liu Xinyong handed over to him.

But Wang Tong ignored this rule and came straight to the door with his money. No matter in ancient and modern times, his superiors always hate subordinates who break the rules. Tian Baihu asked Wang Tong to come in just to scold him and let him abide by his duties.

Tian Ronghao frowned and was about to scold him, but when he heard the number of reports from Wang, he was stunned and his mouth turned into a question:

"Is it just October? Did Liu Xinyong take it?"

"If you want to go back to the adults, this is the common filial piety in the South Street family in October. All the young ones are sent to the adults and assigned by the adults."

Tian Baihu looked at Wang Tong who was standing aside, opened the iron box on the table. It was indeed a 51 tael. After thinking about it, he took out about six taels of scattered silver and said in a deep voice:

"This is the share you deserve this month, take it back!"

Wang Tong thanked again respectfully and reached out to take it. Tian Ronghao patted the tabletop with a light hand, hesitated and ordered:

"This is what you will do in the next month. You will send it here and I will distribute it."

Naturally, he agreed respectfully. After hearing this order, Wang Tong laughed in his heart, knowing that he had bet right. He bet on the common money that Liu Xinyong had usually sent to Tian Baihu. Liu Xinyong must have swallowed a lot of it.

My actions this time will inevitably make Lord Tian feel disgusted with him.

Liu Xinyong was planning to seize Wang Tong's family property, and Wang Tong took over his subordinate Zhao Guodong's errands. The relationship between the two parties was no longer good. As the general banner, Liu Xinyong was condescending and did not know how many means he had to deal with him behind his back. Wang Tong never had the habit of waiting for death, so he also had to take action.

Tian Baihu's expression did not change much, but he was very angry. Just like Wang Tong thought, Liu Xinyong did withhold. According to the rules, Tian Ronghao could get thirty taels a month from the usual South Street routine, but in fact, Liu Xinyong paid only twenty taels a month. This was just the money from South Street. If you count the other places, you don't know how many of them were embezzled.

"Sir, there is one more thing to report to the villain!"

Wang Tong opened his mouth again, Tian Ronghao took a breath and calmed down, nodded, Wang Tong stepped forward respectfully and said:

"Sir, someone rents a house in a villa in a villain and flips up a shed. I want to use this house to open a restaurant..."

"Our Jinyi's personal army also needs to eat and sleep. There is no need to report such trivial matters... No wonder Liu Xinyong said that you are not doing your job properly and are building a house..."

Tian Baihu interrupted impatiently, but the meaning of the words still shocked Wang Tong. As expected, Liu Xinyong was not good intentions.
