Chapter 572 Everyone has weaknesses
in the morning, Xianghe County. People outside the city wanted to come in, and people in the city were also in a hurry to go out. When they arrived at the city gate, the city gate was closed. (Tianruo had a love hand to hit)
If you don’t open the city gate during the day during the day, something must have happened. Everyone was clamoring there and was immediately driven away by the soldiers guarding the city gate with a naked face. On weekdays, the villagers in the village are polite. With such a sternness, everyone knew that something was wrong and they all dispersed.
The people living around Paifang Street were woken up by the officers early in the morning and were harshly reminded not to go out or make noise.
As mentioned earlier, the Paifang Street lives in the wealthy families of Xianghe County. Many people are angry when they are not allowed to go out. They naturally cannot afford to offend the yamen runners because of the fire. However, when these people want to continue to show off their power, there are soldiers from the Jinyi Guards wearing swords who come forward with cold faces, and no one continues to make trouble, and they all retreat.
There is only one family on Paifang Street, with high walls and gates. Outsiders can't see the reality and reality inside. They only heard from the maids and servants who came out to buy goods that the owner of the family is doing silk business outside and is running around all year round. Generally, the only mistress is there at home.
In this family, only women in charge of the affairs, and so rich, they will definitely be advised by people with ill intentions, and some rascals come to cause trouble, but they were beaten out that day. That night, the houses of several rascals were burned, and the money in the yamen was enough, and everything was suppressed.
After this incident, the people in Xianghe County realized that the family on Paifang Street could not afford to offend, so it would be better to provoke less.
Paifang Street is surrounded by fully armed soldiers, including Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords, and more are soldiers wearing armor and holding soldiers.
What was even more surprising was that there was a cannon in front of the family on Paifang Street, which was dark and facing the gate, with artillery soldiers guarding the edge with torches.
Not to mention that the water was blocked, there were more than 20 musket soldiers in each direction, and the fuse was lit and ready to open fire. As soon as someone looked down on the wall, they held the musket and glanced upwards. Seeing the black iron pipe aiming over, the people on the wall hurried down.
There are both muskets and cannons, and there are elite soldiers on duty. From the early morning to the dawn, the "big family" on Paifang Street did not even open the door, and even someone looked at the wall was careful.
"My master Wang Tong wants to see Shen Fang!"
After such an awkward stalemate, some soldiers shouted loudly inside. After shouting this sentence, the soldiers outside could hear the commotion in the courtyard.
"Can such a wooden door withstand the cannon shot?"
There was no reply in the yard, and another soldier shouted. After shouting this, the yard was quiet for a while. The artillery soldiers holding the torch turned around and looked at Wang Tong sitting behind him. Wang Tong smiled and looked at the gate, but did not give an order.
The quiet inside did not last long. The door creaked open. Dozens of musket soldiers in front of him raised the muskets, but the one who opened the door was a strong man with a pale face. When he saw the muskets aiming over here, he subconsciously shivered, took a step back, and almost sat down to the ground.
"Mr. Wang, is my master invited me?"
After saying this stutteringly, Wang Tong sneered, stood up from his seat, and said, "At this point, why are you still fiddling with? Except for Shen Jun and his wife and children, the rest of the people threw out their weapons, then raised their hands to surrender. There is still a stick of incense to make it faster!"
Wang Tong was careless, but now the situation was uncontrollable. The man who opened the door nodded with an ugly face, turned around and ran back.
This time I didn't wait too long. Soon, the swords and axes were thrown out one by one, and there were even two three-eyed guns. Then, as Wang Tong ordered, a man raised his hand and walked out of the door.
The Tianjin Jinyiwei had already prepared a manpower, and came out and checked it immediately, then tied it up and threw it aside. After a while, no one came out again.
General Tan waved his hand behind Wang Tong, and the fully armed Jinyi Guard soldiers rushed in, searching carefully everywhere according to the pre-arrangement.
"Report to the adults, the houses are cleaned up, and they are waiting in the main hall with their wife and children."
"You two took the insignificant woman to the side hall and left the child behind!"
Wang Tong gave an order at the door, then stopped. The two strong women quickly agreed and walked into the living room quickly.
Hearing a greeting inside, Wang Tong walked into the living room.
The Sanshui King Chen Wu, who had always been calm and composed, sat in the chair with a blank expression on his face, holding a sleeping baby in his arms. When he saw Wang Tong walk in, Chen Wu paused and said in a stern voice: "Thank you, the master, for your protection, and don't let the slut show up."
There is a difference between men and women, men and women are very defensive, and the people don’t care about it, and the people who pay attention to it still pay close attention to it. If soldiers are just influx in, or if Wang Tong walks in and sees the indifferent wife, his insignificant face will be lost.
Wang Tong didn't care about these things, but now the situation is under his control, so there is no need to humiliate his injustice wife and children, so he just sells it well.
Ignoring the injustice, Wang Tong walked over and picked up the baby, looked down, and said with a smile: "It's so cute, and the eyebrows look very much like Boss Shen!"
When Wang went to hug him, Chen Wu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he still gave up. When he heard Wang Tong say this, Chen Wu lowered his head slightly and said mutely: "If there is no me on the sea, there will be chaos. In addition to warships and warships, there will be today's glory and wealth."
Wang Tong seemed not to hear the desperate threat of Chen Wu, and just said with a smile: "Although Xianghe County is good, it is not as prosperous as Tianjin Wei. You live in Japan, so it is naturally more convenient to travel between the sea in the harbor. I have prepared a house for you and let your wife and children move in!"
Chen Wu's body shook, disappeared, but stared at Wang Tong and said, "Sir, he is just a wife and children. If Chen gave up these two burdens, can you do anything to me?"
Such a great maid at sea, observing his words and looking for opportunities, Wang Tong said immediately after his words were loose, and he immediately talked about the conditions. Wang Tong smiled and said, "It's just a wife and children. You are talking about the big talk. Now you have killed your wife and children. I will let you go back to the sea. Your men and horses are so powerful that they can't attack my Tianjin Wei. If I cut off my sea trade, I will still have the profits of trade with the grassland. I will naturally not worry about gold and silver. But you can cut off the Tianjin Wei for a few years, and you will see the shipyard gunboats. In three years, are you still confident of protecting yourself?"
Chen Wang's face darkened again, but the child Wang Tong was holding woke up. Seeing that the person he was holding was not his parents, he immediately burst into tears after a little stunned. Chen Wang's whole body tense and was about to stand up and move forward. At this moment, Tan Jiang behind him had already drawn his knife and spread it across his neck.
Wang Tong shook his arms gently and coaxed the child in a low voice. The baby stopped crying and stared at Wang Tong. Wang Tong smiled and looked at the baby, and said again: "There is another way to have the best of both worlds. I won't kill your women and children, and I won't kill you. If you castrate yourself, let you go. If you lead someone to cut off the sea trade in Tianjin, you will come."
He castrated him, and Wang Tong was controlled by the child, the ending was not the same. It has already shown a lot that he was so nervous that he was so nervous that he was really beaten up. Wang Tong's first condition was a blow to Chen Wu. He really teared his face. Wang Tong's position may not be moved, and the second condition is even more ruthless. Although women and children do not move, they are in real danger of being the last.
"Master, the child doesn't know anything, so let him go!"
A woman's cry came from the side hall next door, but the baby was so happy that he was teased by Wang Tong and laughed "giggling" there.
The child's innocent laughter made the tense atmosphere in the house much relaxed a lot. Chen Wu finally showed a depressed look at this moment, sitting there without saying a word.
"I put my house in Xianghe County, said I was a silk merchant, disguised myself as a beard, and even put on a big beard. I spent so much effort to accommodate my wife and children, and said I didn't care, saying that I had given up the burden. If I really didn't care, wouldn't it be a happy thing to take you to Hirado all day long!"
After Wang Tong said this, Chen Wu's head lowered a little and took it to Hirado. Although he met all day long, he could be held or threatened by others. Chen Wu would rather work hard secretly. Although he was very protective of himself, he was worried that his wife and children would be in danger.
"You have seen the strength of Tianjin Wei. If you really want to start a war at sea, Tianjin Wei may not win, but you are hurt by your own vitality. You have so many two waves under your command. Are you all loyal to you? Don't they want to be the leader?"
He never said anything polite. Every sentence is extremely heartbroken. His son is in the arms of the other party, and every sentence Wang Tong said is deeply heartbroken.
Chen Wu, who was sitting there, was hunched over, as if he had suddenly become decades old. The house became quiet. The sobs and childish laughter of the woman in the next room were not noisy, but it made people feel quieter.
Wang Tong was only there to tease the child, but ignored the gray face and the extremely depressed Chen Wu. He was silent for a while. Chen Wu slowly stood up. General Tan withdrew his knife, took a step forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said hoarsely: "The villain has been madly rude for many years, and is harming the sea. Meeting an adult is a blessing from his previous life. Please give him a chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"
"It is great to know that you can correct your mistakes, but you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing Wang Tong speak indifferently, he was stunned and kowtowed to the ground, and said, "Please give me the order."
