It was dark, and the eyes were full of darkness. It seemed a little light, but it was impossible to see. Wang Tong's whole body could not move, and it was not even easy to breathe. The squeaking sound kept ringing beside him. After the slight bumps and shaking, his body suddenly became quiet.

"Several people, this is a tribute given to His Majesty by Lord Wei of Tianjin."

"Come on the gift list"

"What, do you need to check this?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, the position of the vocational department is now strict in the palace, so we dare not slackewer."

There was a sensation above my head, and there was a sound of someone whispering to count. Soon, it became quiet again. I heard someone outside sing and saying:

"Let me go, don't take it seriously, Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Zhang have given instructions on the strict access control."

"Mr. Wang is really loyal. So many good things are jealous..."

The creaking sound changed, but it was not so bumpy. You could hear the darkness, and a few people were laughing and talking:

"Tsk tsk, the things on this car are quite heavy."

"Wang Tong from Tianjin Wei is generous in his actions. Maybe this box is gold and silver treasures."

"It must be a good thing, more than a dozen big boxes. Think about it, Wang Tong gave 1.2 million taels of gold, flowers and silver to the palace every year, and he doesn't know how much he has taken."

"Let's open the box and find some of them. It's okay to divide them."

"Your kid's neck is itchy. What the second ancestor is staring at, and then all the people will have to check according to the gift list. What if Wang Tong and Master Long Sui mentioned!"

"Aren't I joking? There are more than a dozen guards in front and behind. If they want to do it, they will take my head off."

There was another burst of laughter... "It's quieter, I'm almost there."

"Shouldn't we send it to Concubine Zheng? Carry it to the Imperial Study Room?"

"Dog, you are just talking too much. Whatever the superiors tell us, we will do whatever we want."

...

"Please tell me about Eunuch Zhao, the tribute presented to Master Longsheng from Tianjin Wei Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Tong has been delivered."

...

"Carry in, carry in, bring the gift list, our family wants one point after another."

...

"How is it? If it weren't for the reminder, you'll be cut into pieces now..."

"Brother... Grandpa, don't say it, if you are heard..."

...

"Go down, the courtyard gate outside is closed. Master Long wants to see Wang Tong's tribute in person. Don't disturb Master Long's interest. Take a few things to eat for wine."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao, you guys have surrendered."

Zhao Jinliang held the gift list in his hand, "Box No. 5 Persian blanket two mats" he muttered softly, while opening the box.

The Persian blanket that can be presented to the palace is naturally of excellent quality. It is almost as long as Zhao Jinliang and the weight is even more important. Zhao Jinliang reached out and grabbed it, but he couldn't move it at all.

He simply grabbed a corner of the blanket and pulled the whole blanket outward. The weaver's exquisite blanket was torn apart, revealing the pattern of the beauty of the exotic palace inside.

The longer it was pulled, the thick plush blanket was spread directly into the yard. The courtyard of the Imperial Study Room was naturally cleaned, and the green bricks were paved very neatly. However, when the blanket was in contact with the bricks and was dragged back and forth, it was still stained with a lot of mud. Even if the top wealthy families in the capital saw this scene, they would probably stomp their feet and curse.

It is easy to change a farmhouse like this in the capital. It is really a waste of things by this little eunuch.

Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng also walked to the door, watching Zhao Jinliang toss and pull out a blanket, and then pulled out the second blanket in the same way.

The wooden box for the blanket is as long as Zhao Jinliang's waist, and there is a base under the box, which is extremely exquisite. If it is placed at the homes of ordinary people, it will even be used as decent furniture.

The blanket was pulled out, and the linen cloth that was placed at the bottom of the box was exposed. Zhao Jinliang scratched his head, turned around and ran into the imperial study room, took out a pair of scissors, and cut the linen cloth.

The linen was removed, revealing the bottom of the box with a wooden board. There were several clips at the four corners of the box. Zhao Jinliang struggled to get out all the clips and then patted the bottom of the box.

Both Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng had a look of confusion in his eyes. Zhang Cheng noticed Emperor Wanli's questions and whispered:

"Long live the secret letter I sent to the palace yesterday. Let's do this, maybe it's something to hide."

"When is it? Wang Tong is still making such a mysterious thing."

Emperor Wanli said something unhappy. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jinliang take a step back, but tripped by the blanket on the brick floor and fell backwards.

Fortunately, there was a blanket on the ground, so there was no pain. Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng were also shocked. Then they knew why Zhao Jinliang was scared, and the bottom of the big wooden box actually rose.

Of course, it won't rise for no reason, there is actually someone under the bottom of the box...

After lying in the middle of the box for a few hours, Wang Tong's head was drowsy and his whole body was sore. However, he did not dare to fall asleep, for fear that snoring or talking in his sleep would reveal his movements.

Hearing the top of the box slapping the bottom of the box, the pressure on his back suddenly relaxed. Wang Tong quickly stood up with his arms, lifted the bottom of the box, and Wang Tong crawled out of the wooden box.

Before I could stand up and loosen my muscles, I saw Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng standing at the door stunned. I had to hurry up and kneel down, but I did not "Long live my emperor" like normal, but whispered:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, wait until I finish the box here, and then I will tell you in detail."

Emperor Wanli nodded in a slight way. He couldn't react. He just watched Wang Tong and Zhao Jinliang, who was also surprised, open boxes one by one, carry out the goods inside, and open the mezzanine at the bottom of the box.

Li Hutou, Li Tao, and Sun Xin, one by one, stood up from the box, and the people who stood up were almost the same movement, moving their bodies, lying in the mezzanine for so long, it was really hard, and their whole body was sore.

Emperor Wanli has been there all the time, but Zhang Cheng was still breathing a long sigh beside him. Wanli looked at Zhang Cheng with a side face. Zhang Cheng's expression has been very nervous and anxious these days, but now he has relaxed.

"I will meet your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Wang Tong led everyone to bow in the yard, and the sound was very low. Emperor Wanli trembled all over, but turned his head, reached out and rubbed his face a few times before turning his head and spoke:

"All up, all up"

He himself didn't notice the sound trembling, and rubbing his eyes before actually making them redder.

Emperor Wanli did not realize that he had relaxed. These days, Zhang Juzheng's serious illness made the atmosphere inside and outside the palace very strange, although he was still discussing matters during the daily court meetings, although it was normal inside and outside.

But he could feel that everything was not under his control. Zhang Cheng did a lot, but it was useless and nothing could do.

The imperial guards in the palace, even the rotation of eunuchs, were controlled by the Empress Dowager Cining Palace, and his mother would not harm him. Emperor Wanli not only said this to Zhang Cheng, but also said this to himself, but Emperor Wanli was panicked. He was the emperor, and the royal family affection was often not so reliable.

At such a moment, I couldn't control anything and could only wait for someone else's arrangement. This was really uncomfortable for Wanli, who is the lord of the world. Every day, I always felt that I was hanging in the air, without any place, and there was danger of falling into the abyss at any time.

Now looking at the messy yard and Wang Tong and others who were stretching their bodies carefully, Emperor Wanli suddenly felt much more at ease.

"Your Majesty enters the house first, I will clean up the place."

Wang Tong approached and whispered in a low voice. Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I'll leave it to you here, I'll wait in the house."

That being said, he walked into the house for two steps, and still stood there watching everyone busy. Wanli was like this, and Wang Tong couldn't force it, but he went up and said:

"Your Majesty, many things must be piled up in the imperial study room, and I will also hide them in the imperial study room for a while. Among them, you must lose your etiquette and transcendence before you. Let me tell you in advance and I hope your Majesty will forgive you."

"I think so much, if you want to deceive the king, these people will not do much at the Huwei Martial Arts Hall. If you do yours, I will just look at it, I will be happy."

Emperor Wanli waved his hand indifferently and signaled it was okay. Wang Tong nodded. Li Hu was grinning at Emperor Wanli, while Sun Xin and Li Tao bowed respectfully, while the other young men were even more respectful, but Emperor Wanli just smiled and nodded.

There were eleven people hidden in the box, and there were several large wooden boxes with weapons and armor in the mezzanine. Emperor Wanli remembered the gifts on the gift list, including twenty-four short muskets inlaid with gems, twelve long muskets, and six sets of silver-plated fine Western plate armor. I thought it was for decoration, but it seemed that it was just for transportation into the palace.

A musket and ammunition stored in the mezzanine were transported to the imperial study room, and the sword and armor also pretended to be a rack, which looked like a decoration. The plyboard in the wooden box was installed and the blankets and other tributes were put back so that there would be no flaws.

After everything was done, Wang Tong and others were sweating profusely. Everyone rushed into the imperial study room. Although it was wide, there were too many crowds and it seemed narrow.

"I'm sorry to come here to get some robes and clothes worn by Eunuch Hu in the palace. Everyone must have a dress up. Also, I'll have to ask Eunuch Zhang to find a way to solve the meals these days. As for living, I'll be in this imperial study room first."

Wang Tong said something to Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng naturally nodded. Wang Tong sincerely thanked him, turned around and said to Emperor Wanli:
Chapter completed!
