Chapter 864: Returning to Beijiang to Talk
Every year, there are also a large number of cotton cloth businesses in Tianjin Wei. In Songjiang Prefecture, Sanjiang Trading Company also has semicolons, and they are also familiar with the local area.
The doctor who was sent to the boat in Songjiang Mansion was indeed a very famous local doctor. It is said that he was famous in Nanjing at that time and returned to his hometown to live in vain when he was old.
After the doctor got on the boat and diagnosed Wang Tong with pulse, the conclusion was similar to that of the doctor in Qingpu County. His life was fine, but his body was eroded by poison and he needed to take good care of it. The next thing was that he could not eat some things and had to drink soup to remove the poison. The prescription was no different from that of the doctor in Qingpu County.
This makes people feel relieved. Wang Tong's personal guard went to the city to catch medicine. Someone came back to boil the medicine. The imperial envoy's health always had to do it.
"I have some evidence given by the victim, please check with the documents from Songjiang Mansion!"
Wang Tong gave this charter to investigate and deal with the encroachment of land, Songjiang Prefecture, Huating County, Qingpu County, etc., did not dare to neglect it. He collected the inventory documents from various places, and the Xu family also sent their own certificates to the yamen scarf.
The approval of the land in the world is based on the fish scale list released in the eighth year of Wanli. At that time, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, was cleared out many hidden fields. No one touched the land in Songjiang Prefecture, but the fish scale list was also replaced with new ones. The old ones were burned to prevent evil people from doing this.
With such a result, what else can Lu Ruomei find out? Besides, Wang Tong did not bring special investigations and prosecutors, so what can he find out?
This news was not concealed by Lu Ruomei. After Lu Ruomei knew about it, to be more precise, after confirming Wang Tong's statement, he kept his door in his room and didn't know what Zhai Xiu'er said when he went in, Lu Ruomei walked out and continued to serve Wang Tong, but he looked much more haggard.
On August 23, 12th year of Wanli, Wang Tong stayed in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture City for four days. He slept much more every day than usual, but he could already walk and had a higher appetite.
The entire Songjiang Mansion knew the results of the investigation and prosecution. The Xu family was deserted for a day when Wang Tong arrived, but there were quick guests, and everyone could see that they would not find any results.
"The Xu family's invasion of land is completely false. After I return to Beijing, I will report to the emperor and give the Xu family a Gongrui."
"The imperial envoy is wise and righteous, and the Xu family is grateful!"
In the lobby of the Songjiang Prefecture Office, after Wang Tong said this with little energy, Xu Fan and his group knelt down and praised it. Several officials from Songjiang Prefecture and County also saluted, but their expressions did not change. However, the officials and officers in the hall exchanged glances with each other, but they all showed disapproving expressions.
With great fanfare, there are rumors of various kinds. It seems that Wang Tong, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Dingbei Hou, was just like that. He was either bribed by the Xu family or frightened by the Xu family. In the end, he was still confused like this. He was really an incompetent person.
"Mr. Wang, Songjiang is rich and there are also one or two scenic spots worth seeing. Since the Lord has finished the imperial envoy, how about staying for a few days? Let the Xu family fulfill their friendship as a landlord?"
After finishing the errand, Wang Tong was about to return. At this time, the Xu family no longer had the same kind of enemy and tension as Wang Tong came. They were very satisfied with the result. The next thing was to get along with Wang Tong, the upstart.
Wang Tong's attitude was very indifferent. He did not agree to the invitation from the Xu family, but said that he was weak and needed to return to the north to recuperate as soon as possible. Since the imperial decree was completed, he would not delay here.
Since this is the case, the Xu family did not try to keep it. They just arranged for someone to give me a generous gift. They arranged for the famous doctor to accompany him. When they arrived in Nanjing, they would prepare all the medicinal materials and other things so as not to encounter trouble on the way.
When I arrived at Songjiang Prefecture, the whole Songjiang Prefecture was extremely nervous, but when I left, I felt very relaxed. This imperial envoy was not as difficult as the rumors. He knew the three flavors of the officialdom and knew the principles of vague response.
A group of officials and local gentry went to the dock to see off, and Wang Tong also supported himself and answered the erroneous words.
Dai Fengxiang also watched Wang Tong and his group leave in the crowd. The Xu family spent a lot this time, which was a big deal, but finally got the matter over and prepared a big banquet for everyone tonight.
The group of people were busy happily, but Dai Fengxiang was resting in his house. It was not entirely exhausted. Dai Fengxiang sat on a chair, closing his eyes and pondering.
Jiangnan also has detailed information about the storied figures in the capital like Wang Tong, and rumors are constantly being kept. Dai Fengxiang carefully filtered and analyzed Wang Tong's rumors and what he did when he came to Jiangnan in his mind. "When it was not dark, Dai Fengxiang said goodbye on the grounds that there were important things at home. He left on a boat, and Xu Fan did not try to keep him. In the whole matter, he did not feel that Dai Fengxiang played a big role, and he did not let others do anything all day long, but just did nothing.
After Dai Fengxiang returned to his residence in Suzhou, he collected the soft gold and silver and took his family to disappear. However, Dai Fengxiang was not a celebrity in some places, so many people did not notice where he went and whereabouts.
When the boat passed by Suzhou, the incident in Qiandun Town made the officials of Suzhou Prefecture feel bad. The imperial envoy had to give some comfort to him and also give Wang Tong an answer.
…”The bodies of two fat monks were found outside the city. Some people recognized them, saying that they were the confidants of the thief in Puyuan Temple. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be assassinated by someone with a sharp blade behind them. Some people in the Yuganxiang recognized these two fat monks as they entered the old woman’s house~~……”
This was what Wang Tong ordered when he left Suzhou. It was also considered that the Suzhou Prefecture was lucky enough to give this explanation.
These two monks are the murderers, so there will be no problem with this conclusion. After telling Lu Ruomei the news, Lu Ruomei was not so happy.
"My sister-in-law's family has been trying to defeat the Xu family for more than ten years, but in the end, all the family members died, and the Xu family still did not move. It's really pitiful."
Zhai Xiu'er knew that she would say a few words when she was in trouble. Wang Tong didn't want to talk about this issue, but just said indifferently:
"You can't say these things, so don't talk about them in the future."
Unlike the tense journey and undercurrents when I went there, it was much more peaceful and quiet when I returned. However, this time I did not go to Nanjing, but went directly to Sushi to the canal channel and went directly to Zhenjiang Prefecture to cross the river and return to the north.
The Dantu stayed in Zhenjiang Prefecture City for two days, because Zhang Liansheng, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei in Nanjing, sent news that the confessions and documents of the two people sent by Li Zhi, the Zhili Inspector, were sent to Wang Tong.
Before Wang Tong arrived in Jiangnan, the nobles and wealthy families in Nanjing were voted on, saying that Wang Tong had targeted the nobles in Jiangnan during this trip. He was ordered to suppress and weaken them, which made Nanjing extremely nervous and almost a conflict. However, Wang Tong was too tough, and the nobles in Nanjing were completely paper tigers, so this matter did not cause any storm.
Wang Tong naturally knew that someone was doing something bad behind his back, but he didn't expect that he could catch someone. For him, it didn't matter what these two people said. The most important thing was to learn that it was Li Zhi who was instructing him there.
In addition to these, Qi Wu, who told Qi Jiguang about the results of the Northern Expedition, also rushed back from the south. He had been waiting in Nanjing for a few days, and heard that Wang Tong had come to meet when he arrived at Zhenjiang Prefecture.
On the way back, Nanjing transferred a thousand generals to escort the troops, but the core guards on Wang Tong were naturally the personal guards he brought. At this time, they were arranged in the same way as fighting on the grassland. The second circle on the outside was the Taihu thief brought by Liao Lang.
Although Liao Lang and his team of talents have been in short order, they have guaranteed to be with Wang Tong's side with Jia Xiaohe's savings, and it is more trustworthy. Even if they are interested, they will still be with Wang Tong after the matter that has not been investigated.
After a simple etiquette and socializing, Wang Tong and his men set off from Dantu to cross the river and returned to the north. At this time, the wind on the river was already a little strong and became cold.
For safety and stability, Zhenjiang Prefecture specially arranged a large ship for Wang Tong. This was a good intention, but it was rejected by Wang Tong. There was no insistence on the local area, so he let him go.
The river is wide and the ships are flowing. Not long after Wang Tong's fleet set off, there were ships coming from the downstream in parallel. This is also common on the river and no one cares about it.
Only Sha Dongning was in Wang Tong's cockpit, and the rest were waiting outside the cabin to greet him. Wang Tong had been silent and thought hard since he passed the Changshi Mansion, and rarely spoke. When he was crossing the river, Wang Tong made such arrangements. Although everyone was not sure about it, he followed the order.
"Call Shi Qi in, come out and wait!"
After Shi Qi came in, Sha Dongning also left the house. Wang Tong sat there in the cabin and whispered:
"You have always wanted to be an official, but I have never been an official for you. Are you anxious?"
Shi Qi.com wants to speak, and Wang Tong said again:
"Dong Chuangxi, a Jinyiwei official stationed in Shandong, has done too many things that I don't like. I have always wanted to replace him and change someone who needs to be used."
The topic changed, making people feel a little cognizant, Wang Tong said slowly:
"There were assassins from Shanxi who attacked me the year before yesterday. This time, the assassin came from Shanxi again, and there was also a person sent by Li Zhi to make trouble and submit letters. Li Zhi is Zhang Siwei's disciple. Zhang Siwei is now filial piety in Puzhou, Shanxi. I want to send you to Puzhou. Do you know what to do?"
Shi Qi's reaction was not slow. After a little stunned, he knelt down and asked:
"I wonder what the marquis wants to do?"
"These times the assassins have been sent to kill people!"
Hearing Wang Tong's answer, Shi Qi kowtowed and said:
"Please rest assured, the subordinates know how to do it."
Wang Tong nodded and breathed:
Chapter completed!
