Chapter 30 The guest is the master and the servant

Everyone is ordinary people. The name of deceiving the emperor is so scary. When I listen to the book, I have heard that this crime is implicated by the nine tribes. If the boss has such a great crime, will everyone be implicated? The guy screamed "ah" and turned around and ran out of the door.

He reacted well, and the others were frightened there. Seeing this scene, Eunuch Hu and Liu Xinyong and his group were even more proud.

I thought Wang Tong would kneel down in a panic and beg for mercy, but unexpectedly, Wang Tong's face changed and asked with his fists:

"I dare to ask where Eunuch Hu is on duty and why he said that the young man committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!!"

The weight of the internal officials is true, but not everyone has the power to convict and arrest, let alone deal with a Jinyiwei. Looking at him, no one knows that he is a big banner and a tiger skin. If he doesn't ask, wouldn't he be bullied by the other party taking advantage of the situation?

Wang Tong's calm and composed appearance made Eunuch Hu stunned, and then he was furious. A little eunuch beside him said in a sharp voice:

"Your dog eyes are blind. This is Eunuch Hu, the head of our Zhidian Supervisor. If you know the truth, you will kneel down and confess your guilt quickly and beg for Eunuch Hu's mercy!"

The internal official system is composed of the twelve supervisors, four departments and eight bureaus, and the direct palace supervisor is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of palaces and houses in various parts of the imperial city. It is equivalent to the property department in later generations, and it is considered to be somewhat of a real power.

But outside the imperial city, everyone did not recognize the Zhidianguan. Even Wang Tong thought about it before he remembered what kind of yamen it was. However, the internal officials colluded with each other. Although the Zhidianguan had no power, he had the power to talk to the Sili Supervisor Imperial Horse Supervisor. It would be a big trouble if it was involved.

This is also why Wang Tong cannot completely belong to this era. For powerful internal officials, the current behavior of the servants is to be humble and polite and never offend them. Who knows whose confidant this eunuch is in the palace? If he is not careful, he will cause a big disaster.

Wang Tong's slight hesitation made Eunuch Hu even more angry and said angrily:

"The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are shortages of people everywhere in the palace. But you opened this restaurant to recruit internal officials to go out, delaying the preparations for the festival, delaying the New Year for Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and all the nobles. What is your intention? Is there any unpredictable conspiracy and intrigue?!"

There is nothing trivial about the Tian family. Eunuch Hu is so big that he can't get rid of it. After Ann the charge, seeing Wang Tong's face suddenly change, Eunuch Hu's anger disappeared, leaning back against the back of the chair, and sneered:

"Don't think that wearing this flying fish suit, you think you are a person. When you wait for Dongjishi Factory to come and get people, you can't even be a flea."

Dongjishi Factory is the full name of Dongjian, which is a powerful yamen that is superior to the Jinyiwei. Wang Tong couldn't help but sink. The other party's purpose of coming here may not be so big, but he had no way to resist, so he could only let the other party rub it.

But the only advantage is that there may be some discussions on this matter. If the eunuch and Liu Xinyong don’t want to talk about it, there may be a servant coming to the door to get people.

Wang Tong was really unwilling to accept it, but the gap in status and strength was there, so he had to grit his teeth and bow his head.

Wang Tong touched the dagger on his waist and refused to move. The bravery and fierceness inside the Jinyiwei still had room for maneuver. If he injured the inner official, it would be a serious crime of disobedience that touched the royal majesty, and he would really destroy the nine clans and die in Lingchi.

After thinking about many thoughts in his mind, Wang Tong could only hold his fists and whisper:

"What should Eunuch Hu do?"

In this short time, low-ranking eunuchs opened the curtain from time to time and wanted to come in for dinner, but they were scolded by eunuch Hu's followers.

The atmosphere inside was tense, and the eunuchs who came here outside were not allowed to enter the shop, so they inquire and discuss each other, and the sounds from the streets to the inside were quite noisy.

When Liu Xinyong heard Wang Tong surrender, he looked at Eunuch Hu and then spoke:

"We all don't force you to do it too much. We quit our seats from Jinyi's personal army, hand over the shop and the courtyard, take out another five hundred taels of silver, and then get out of the capital."

The so-called bone-knocking and marrow sucking is just waiting. Wang Tong has only earned more than 100 taels since he opened this store. He has to use his last savings to make up for it.

At that time, you will be penniless, powerless, and life and death will not be in your own hands. But if you don’t agree and think about it, it will be nothing more than a choice to die sooner or later.

It was said that this store affected the preparations for the Spring Festival in the imperial city, but no one mentioned it at this time. Eunuch Hu and Liu Xinyong were glamorous. The prosperous store was about to get the prosperous business and completely pulled out the thorn in their eyes. This was done step by step, and in addition to the enemy, he got the advantage. He was really proud.

"That is, our family is merciful and will give you a way out, if it is someone else..."

Eunuch Hu was making fun of leisurely, enjoying the pleasure of playing with a cat and a mouse. The shopkeeper was silent. Wang Tong's face was as deep as water. He was already thinking about how to fight in front of him. His hands touched the handle of the dagger, but no one in the room noticed that the street was already extremely quiet.

At this time, the cotton curtain at the main entrance of the restaurant was lifted open, and the two walked in. It was still early before lunch. Could it be that the official and the fat man came over? Seeing that the official was so powerful that he might be able to solve the desperate situation in front of him? Wang Tong looked sideways, but what he saw was not - they were two adults.

"Eunuch Hu in the palace is working on the job, and there is no need to worry about the people waiting to retreat!!"

Eunuch Hu's entourage said shrillly, probably because he saw that the two guests did not look like ordinary people, so he didn't say it badly.

The father-in-law in the palace was in trouble. When he heard this, he probably would have to avoid the big bosses in the court, even ordinary officials would have to avoid it. Moreover, how could the rich boss come to such a small shop?

But the two men did not leave. They walked while the middle-aged man was stunned and turned around and asked:

"Eunuch Hu, which supervisory office belongs to?"

Liu Xinyong originally wanted to shout, but he thought it was wrong and swallowed the words back. The man was wearing a dark red rich man's robe and a square scarf of Confucian scholars. The man looked at him forty or fifty years old, with a national face and kind eyebrows. The man following him was dressed as a servant, wearing a green hat.

It looked like the master and servant were on a trip, but the outsider had a majestic temperament in his every move, which made people feel scared. Wang Tong had seen such a person before, and had seen him from afar when he was inspecting a school by a big man. At that time, he sighed that the superiors were different.

But today I just looked at it for a while and felt that what I saw on that day was far less than the elder at the door. The difference was not based on the Tao, and the difference between heaven and earth.

As for the servant, he was in his thirties, tall and burly, fierce in appearance, and cautious in action. He was clearly looking like a general, but he was wearing extremely fitted clothes for servants, which was really awkward.
