Since I moved to Tianjin Wei, despite being busy every year, I have had more troubles in the past two years of practice. However, I still do the first day of New Year's Eve to have a happy Spring Festival.

After entering Wanli ten years, from Wang Tong to the end, the entire Tianjin Wei Jinyiwei and Hu Wei army system was filled with a tense atmosphere. Without Wang Tong urging anything, everyone was busy.

There is a lantern field to the east of Tianjin Weihai River Commercial District to prepare for a large-scale Lantern Festival. They are all yearning for it inside and outside Tianjin, but they cannot see such an atmosphere in Wang Tong's residence and the office.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Wang Tong worked in the Jinyiwei Office in the city. When the city gate was about to close, he left the city or lived here directly.

It was the night of the 14th day of the first lunar month. Just in the front hall, Ma Sanbiao held the food box in his hand and placed it on the coffee table beside Wang Tong, and said with a smile:

"Sir, these are dumplings made by my mother. I also told the chef to make some delicious side dishes and let my subordinates deliver them. I also sent a message to the adults, saying that this is the Chinese New Year. Don't make yourself too hard. If you have any questions, just let the people below be busy."

Wang Tong smiled and nodded and said:

"It's a worry for Aunt Ma. Now you can't use the Ma team inside and outside the city. Your wife is pregnant again. It's just right that you spend more time at home."

Speaking of this topic, Ma Sanbiao smiled, reached out and scratched his head, and said with a smile:

"There are a bunch of servants in the house to serve me, and my mother is watching me, so I don't need to accompany you. Besides, if there are so many things happening to the Jinwei people today, my subordinates dare not leave their posts without any mistakes, so as not to miss the situation."

Unlike other military generals, Wang Tong and Ma Sanbiao have a strong personal element in their relationship. When chatting privately, they talk a lot about family matters. It is naturally a good thing for Ma Sanbiao to stick to his post. The two chatted for a few more times. Ma Sanbiao hesitated and said with a dry smile:

"Sir, when I came to deliver dumplings, my mother asked me to persuade him. I don't know whether to say this or not."

"What else can't be said between us? Just say it."

"That... My mother said that the adult is not young, has a high status, has no shortage of wealth, status, and family business. It is not a solution to keep a person like this. It's better to find a partner quickly. Tianjin Wei is not worthy of it, so go to the capital to find a decent family and ask others to make a move..."

Nowadays, relatives, friends and confidants, and even close subordinates, often mention that Wang Tong is not young and should be married. Wang Tong said that he is too busy at the moment and doesn't care about it at all. The truth is true, but he didn't expect that someone would say it today.

Wang Tong smiled, but reached out and opened the food box. When he came, he wrapped it tightly in a cotton cover and kept it warm and it was well done. After opening it, it was steaming hot and the house was filled with the aroma of food.

"Mutton dumplings, vinegar-stuffed radish, cold-cut braised pork and crispy fish are all my favorite dishes."

Seeing that Wang Tong changed the topic, Ma Sanbiao couldn't continue. With his rough and straightforward nature, he was not the one who said such words. Just as he was about to answer the conversation, someone outside told him that he must have received Wang Tong's order. Tong passed by, and the person had already walked in.

The man came in at the age of thirties, looked ordinary and of medium figure, and was wearing the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi uniform, but as soon as he came in, the atmosphere in the room was a little different.

Ma Sanbiao saw at first sight that there was blood stain on the hem of the man's flying fish suit, and the smell in the house was not only the aroma of the food, but also the smell in the house was also bloody.

People like Ma Sanbiao who had been killed on the battlefield knew that if there was such a bloody smell, there must be fresh blood. Ma Sanbiao took a step sideways, but his hand pressed on the handle of the knife.

The Jinyiwei who had just come in calmly greeted Wang Tong, turned around and saluted Ma Sanbiao, then looked at Wang Tong, and Wang Tong spoke:

"Sanbiao will go back first. Remember to arrange for the city gate to close as usual. I will live in the official office tonight."

After hearing what Wang Tong said, Ma Sanbiao knew that there was something he wanted to avoid talking about, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

When Ma Sanbiao went out, Wang Tong nodded to General Tan beside him. General Tan reached out and waved. The personal soldiers serving everywhere in the house retreated. When the door closed, Wang Tong asked:

"But what are the results?"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi bowed and replied:

"When I say that, I have been punished by everyone, and these people can't stand it at all. After a round, they cried and shouted. Some were inherited from all generations, and some were people from the Jianghu who came to cheat, but they had nothing to do with the Sanyang Sect."

“Can you do it accurately?”

"Please rest assured. I have been working as a humble official for twelve years. I haven't seen anyone who can hold on to it yet. Moreover, as the adults told me, we were involved in the prisoners. After using the torture, I really don't know what Sanyang Sect is?"

"Will you tell the public about Maitreya and Bailian, but they are from the Sanyang Sect?"

"No, Bei Zhi ordered a cliché on this. Some people from the capital had heard it, but they had heard it, but they didn't know much."

Wang Tong nodded, sat there and pondered for a while, and spoke in a deep voice:

"It seems that Wuming Bai, who pretends to be a woman, came here to preach and just came to cheat money and hand over, asking for an entrance to the palace, but had no other intention..."

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi bowed and said:

"I dare not say it, I can only say that maybe it is."

These two words showed his sophistication. Wang Tong nodded in approval and said again:

"I borrowed you from Xuebaihu, Dongchang. It's true that I did the right thing, but this matter is very important. You will feel wronged for a while and have not received my orders. You cannot leave this official office. When will you leave? Wait for my orders?"

The little flag looked as usual and bowed to take the order. Wang Tong pondered for a while and said:

"Wu Mingbai, who pretends to be a woman, asked again, burning incense and believing in God, people are prone to being hindered, and maybe they are not afraid of torture."

"As for orders, anyone in the cell will stare at it, and you will definitely report it to the adults immediately if you have anything."

Wang Tong nodded and spoke to General Tan on the side:

"General Tan, I will send 1,000 taels to Xu Xiaoqi tomorrow, and then notify the military supplies from the official office that the food and drink cost must be supplied."

The above general agreed that the thousand taels are not a small amount, and there is preferential treatment for food and drink. Xu Xiaoqi hurriedly bowed to thank him, and Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work. When you finish your work, I will thank you very much."

Xu Xiaoqi dismissed and withdrew. Wang Tong patted the desk with his palm and pondered for a long time. He wanted to greet Tan Jiang. But he turned to see that Tan Jiang was frowning. The direction he was looking at was the other side of the door. After a little wondering, he thought about it. Wang Tong said:

"Don't you have any good feelings for Xu Xiaoqi?"

General Tan paused and bowed and said:

"There is no such thing as or dislike, it's just that this person makes the little one feel uncomfortable."

"He is an expert in torture in the East Factory, and his methods are ruthless. I guess there will not be too many people in the world who feel comfortable in him, but there are too few such people in our hands. In order to prevent it, I transferred the people through Eunuch Zhang. Even if I can't torture anything and can't ask anything, I will still ask for it."

The place where you stay is not in the official office. Wang Tong’s original mansion was next to the drum tower in the city. It is convenient to live there and the guards are much simpler.

After leaving the official office, General Tan went to arrange a carriage and horse guards. Zhang Shiqiang, who had just returned from the capital, came over and leaned close to him and whispered:

"Sir, all the families left yesterday."

Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Don't know too many people, keep a close eye on it."

Zhang Shiqiang quickly agreed that the personal guards led the horse and General Tan also returned from patrol. Seeing Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang together, he deliberately slowed down. He knew that there must be something secret to discuss.

Wang Tong was about to wave his hand, but he heard a vague sound of cannons in the east direction. He turned around in wonder and looked at it. A huge fireworks bloomed in the sky. The light of the fireworks shone brightly. The people around Wang Tong couldn't help but turn their heads to look at that direction. Wang Tong smiled and said:

"I don't know who's looking for new things, so I'll put it first."

The general of the border town was not allowed to leave the garrison unless the imperial court was explicitly ordered. After Ma Dong, the new deputy general of Datong Town, led his troops back after visiting Beijing.

If it were in the past, Ma Dong might have gone to Xuanfu to spend the New Year with me, but what Emperor Wanli said in the palace warm pavilion made Ma Dong dare not neglect it. After leaving Beijing, he did not delay the road and rushed all the way.

When walking on the official road, there were all officers and soldiers riding horses, and the journey was not slow. On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Ma Dong returned to Datong. He was originally a sergeant general of the Dongtianchengwei of Datong Town, which was close to Xuanfu, and guarded Huyukou and Baiyangkou. Now the official offices of the mansion are all located in Datong City.

Because of the convenience of trade with the grassland, Datong City is prosperous and prosperous, and its senses are no less than Dayi, a thoroughfare in the mainland and Jiangnan. Ma Dong is the deputy general of the border town here, and there is no shortage of wealth and glory.

The former deputy general returned to his hometown to retire with dozens of trucks of wealth. Before leaving, he gave the house to Ma Dong.

When a new official takes office, there are always regular rules. The rules in Datong Town are generous gifts from merchants who come and go between the border and the mainland.

Needless to say, gold, silver and treasure, and beauty, the wealthy merchants were extremely generous in their actions. They just opened their mouths and could buy anything for him. The deputy general took office, not to mention the general, the military supervisor and others.

The more this happened, Ma Dong became more trembling and did not dare to act casually. He issued a strict order, and the gatekeeper and his guard were guarding at the door, blocking all the gifts, and those who came empty-handed could enter the door.

After coming to Datong, he did not attend any banquets except for meeting the general, military supervisor, and governor as usual.
