After coming out of the palace, it was already dark. A minister with the identity of Wang Tong was walking on the street. The soldiers guided in front also had to carry lanterns with famous official positions written on the lanterns. Otherwise, the Jinyiwei Police Office and the Wucheng Military Office who were patrolling the street would have the right to come forward to investigate.

As a general in the country, Li Hutou was young, but he had experienced too many things. When he rushed to the capital with Wang Tong, he felt inexplicably worried. Although Wang Tong performed very normally on the road, he was chatting and laughing.

Wang Tong was chatting and laughing with the gang leader in the palace, Zhang Cheng and others. When they met Wanli in the palace, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.

There were laughter and joy, everyone was talking about how Wang Tong achieved this great victory, and Li Hutou laughed and discussed it, but he always felt that something was wrong.

When he walked out of the palace gate, he suddenly saw Wang Tong's face gloomy. Li Hutou felt his heart tightened. After walking a few steps, he turned to look again. However, Wang Tong's expression was the same as when he came. It seemed that the gloom just now was just his illusion, which made Li Hutou feel even more uncomfortable, but he also knew that he could not open it. He asked, or even told others.

"Tiger head, it will take several days for the army to enter the city. You have returned to the capital. You don't have to follow me tonight. Go and accompany your father. You are fighting outside, rolling in the sea of ​​swords and blood. He doesn't say it openly, and doesn't know how much worrying in secret!,.

Wang Tong said with a smile, Li Hutou agreed with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother, go back and rest early, Hutou will go home now!"

"Take some of the spoils you brought to Beijing to your father to make him happy!"

Li Hutou and his personal guards had already left the team. When he heard Wang Tong's greeting, he just raised his hand immediately and said with a smile: "Brother, you give it the same. I won't be bothered today!"

Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, and the crowd headed towards the house on the other side of the South Street. His team of people walking on the street also attracted the attention of many people.

When it got dark, the common people were almost all staying at home. Those who could walk on the road were either night patrol officials or wealthy people who could have nightlife. These people naturally knew who Wang Tong was. When Wang Tong and his team were walking by, they were often stunned. When Wang Tong and his friends walked by, they hurriedly ordered the servants to send messages to their relatives and friends. Wang Tong returned to the capital first.

"Sir, Lord Lu of Shuntian Prefecture, Li Qianhu of the Public Security Department, and Mr. Yang said that in order to keep a low profile, they all waited for the adults to return in the mansion and would not come to greet them.

Wang Tong nodded immediately. His mansion on South Street was not far from the Imperial City. It had arrived shortly after a short while, and it had just been a short distance... Now there was already a head-on looking around at the door.

After turning over and dismounting, Wang Tong handed the reins to his personal soldiers around him and ordered: "It is not the residents on this street, nor is it a whip to do business in the mansion. If you intend to resist, you will be arrested in the Jinyiwei prison and interrogated tomorrow."

The personal soldiers were stunned and then agreed loudly, and then ordered the order. The guards in Wang Tong's mansion included the returned people, and the two hundred people always came out. They all saw tiger and wolf men fighting. The nerds and pretenders outside had not yet reacted, and had been surrounded by Wang Tong's personal guards.

The street in front of Wang Tong's mansion immediately cried and shouted to his parents, and some people were shouting there, "I belong to XXX." Such people were even more unlucky. They were originally whipped a few times. After shouting this, they were often knocked over to the ground, tied up and taken away after being taken away.

It is hard to say that you can sleep in the open outside, but you have led a large army to fight for so long and have no comfortable life. When you return to your residence, Wang Tong was also a little moved.

He stood in front of the door without moving, but just looked inside, and the personal guards would not disturb him. He stared carefully around and prevented the chaos on the street from coming. Wang Tong whispered: "Has I done something wrong to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty and seek benefits for the people?"

Wang Tong's voice was very low, and the streets were in such chaos, and no one noticed it.

…………

"Mr. Yang reminded me right. After the victory, I was full of thoughts. In addition, this achievement was really dazzling, so I was a little proud!"

When he returned to his own courtyard, he had to exchange greetings for a few words. Wang Tong returned to the city early, and it was hard to say whether he felt comfortable or not. Yang Enchen and others wanted to explain a few words, but Wang Tong answered simply and neatly.

After saying this, seeing the atmosphere in the room a little dull, Wang Tong sat down with a smile and said, "There is much colder in Guihua City than the Master, but it is a bit wetter than Jingshang. This is a strange thing!"

"Brother Wang, you go to the northern border, and I also checked the scenery notes of my predecessors. The area of ​​Guihua City is also the edge of Hetao Land. Rivers gather, so there is naturally no shortage of water...

Lu Wancai said with a smile, everyone was trying to make the atmosphere easier. Wang Tong nodded with a smile, looked a little serious, and said, "I am sure to lead the army to the grassland and attack Altan's army. I saw the news of the Public Security Department a few days ago. The rumors in the capital had reached this point. I didn't have any worries when I was marching and fighting, but after returning from a great victory, I feel that this situation is more dangerous than before!"

After saying this, Wang Tong picked up a stack of papers on the coffee table beside him and said in a deep voice: "The situation is the most subtle at this time. The rumors and slander are not to say whether they are true or false, but as long as they are heard, they will think about it. After thinking about it for a long time, if you talk too much outside, the fake one becomes real...

Yang Sichen and others nodded, and Yang Sichen said, "In fact, it is a glorious thing to lead the army back to the capital to show victory, but such rumors arose in the capital. At that time, the adults lead the army into the city, parade and perform martial arts, and it will probably change its temper if they are interested...

"Mr. Yang said it well, so together with the rumors, everyone will write a letter to Brother Wang, and then send the Public Security Department to strictly investigate the source of the rumors."

Wang Tong picked up the tea bowl and drank a few sips, put it on the table, and said with a heavy voice. Wang Tong sneered and said, "I said that my achievements are so great that I am so ill-behaved. Before I went, I said that I was rash and steadfast, regardless of the lives of thousands of soldiers and horses, and that I put the Ming Dynasty in danger. There was nothing right on the left and right. Those who were below the fifth rank and above silently remained silent, and even those who were fueled by the fire. It was just that I felt that I had made such a great contribution. In the future, the weight of speaking and doing things will become heavier. It was impossible to show that they were all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Why did they..."

As he was talking, Wang Tong was still excited, but he also stopped it in time. He took a few deep breaths there. Lu Wan opened the folding fan and shook it a few times, and sighed and said, "Brother Wang, don't say anything about something that is not easy to say. Brother Wang is now getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people around us. We must have a low right on our side. This will bring jealousy and a great attack."

Wang Tong snorted coldly, and Yang Sichen said carefully from the side: "Sir, be cautious in everything. After all, now so many people rely on the protection of their lords. If there is any mistake on their lord, they will definitely be affected."

After living with Wang Tong for a long time, everyone knows that although Wang Tong is young, he has a rare sense of responsibility. For example, if he sends troops to the northern border, this matter will not be beneficial at all. If he loses, he will be a serious crime of raiding his family and extermination. If he wins, he is just like the current situation and it is easy to cause any future troubles. However, what Wang Tong said is that this battle can make the northern border of the Ming Dynasty peaceful for many years, and half of the military and civilians on the nine sides live and work in peace, and then lead his army to the scene with a sigh.

At present, this persuasion does not mention personal gains and losses, but mentions that there are many people around Wang Tong sharing honor and disgrace, and life and death are at stake, but this will motivate Wang Tong.

Wang Tong nodded, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to push these things away, and said: "When returning to the capital, he wanted to rectify the rumors of this bastard first. The army was fighting hard in the front, bleeding and sweating. The bastards behind him slandered and slandered them wantonly. The speaker was not guilty, not for these people to use it on this. The Public Security Department and other places found anything, and they all said it.

Li Wenyuan, who had been silent, said, "The military discipline in Baoding Prefecture was corrupt, the rumors of the soldiers' family members and the murder of local people were first told by a teahouse in Nancheng. The teahouse guys said that the two guys from the jewelry store came here to drink tea, and the restaurants and tea shops in various places in the capital. This news was almost the same day, and they were all the shopkeepers and managers of shops and shops."

Wang Tong listened carefully and interrupted at this time: "It seems that someone is setting up a rumor to spread the rumors together, and who is behind the shop and the village."

"The boss is not easy to investigate. There are different people in the security department who keep the safe silver in Ping An. The news came almost the day before yesterday. It should be the Marquis of Wuqing..."

"The people from the Li family still don't give up!"

Wang Tong sneered and continued to ask: "The master is so powerful that he is shocked. Who spread the rumors that the army in the Northern Expedition has ulterior motives?"

"After the great victory, some scholars in the poetry clubs in various guilds and halls said this privately, but some people really submitted memorials and talked a lot. It was after April 15th. It was easy to find out the source. It was instructed by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Personnel Yan Qing. The local rumor spreads the vernacular and the famous people... "

Yang Sichen next to him added: "Yan Qing is about to retire, and this disciple of Yan Qing and the news from the court in the palace can be confirmed."

Wang Tong smiled bitterly, dangled the coffee table beside him and said, "It is this kind of person that makes people laugh the most. Do you think he has made meritorious in Han, but he feels that he is for the country and the people. Since everyone is all for the country, why are there such a big conflict??"
