Liao Lang was really frightened when Wang Tong was assassinated. When he turned against Wang Tong at the last minute, he naturally offended the Xu family in Songjiang. If Wang Tong died, no one would protect him. He would not say that he had nowhere to go, and he would not be able to stay in Jiangnan. The Xu family was not a merciful person.

After Wang Tong woke up, Liao Lang breathed a sigh of relief, but the investigation of the Xu family was not painful and itchy, and it did not hurt the Xu family's roots. Jiangnan still couldn't stay there, so following Wang Tong back to the north is also a good choice.

But Liao Lang is also a character who rolls on the tip of the knife. Naturally, he can feel the guard against him. This is inevitable. He suddenly decided to surrender, and Wang Tong has no reason to believe it. Over time, I will talk about it in the future.

When Wang Tong was suddenly called into the cabin by Wang Tong on the river, Liao Lang was quite ambitious, but he was also somewhat expectant. Whether he had credit or not depends on how much the master talked to you, whether he needed you. Now it is obviously a good start.

Looking at Sha Dongning who entered the cabin with him, Liao Lang felt a little moved. Wang Tong was already young and his confidants were all young. It was okay to seek peace and wealth in his thirties or forties. It would probably be difficult to have a background.

Sha Dongning was a little worried. He rarely saw Wang Tong like this. Wang Tong was not old and looked mature and steady than him, but he was always very energetic and full of energy. After being assassinated, he was weak and he became much silent, which made people very uncomfortable.

When the two walked into the cabin, they saw Wang Tong sitting there wearing a quilt. They didn't know what they were thinking. When they saw each other, Wang Tong did not respond. Liao Lang and Sha Dongning stood there respectfully, waiting for the order.

"Liao Lang, it's really hard to believe that you came to join us for help!"

Unexpectedly, when Wang Tong said this, a chill came out of Liao Lang's heart. Subconsciously, Sha Dongning's hand was placed on the hilt of the knife. Although Liao Lang looked quite honest, if Wang Tong wanted to give an order, he would kill him without hesitation. Liao Lang had planned the plan, but could only kneel on the deck and cried, "Marquis" Bu's heart is to the court, with a loyal and righteous heart, Master Marquis will understand!"

Wang Tong glanced at him and continued to say lightly: "I heard that outsiders in your world always have to commit a case when they want to join the gang, called a letter of surrender. Only with this letter of surrender can they be trusted. Who knows if the people you killed that day are the thieves you are looking for everywhere, and they are not sure!"

Liao Lang forgot to pretend to cry, and looked up at Wang Tong in shock. He naturally understood this, but this was what the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, should Dingbei Hou say?

Wang Tong continued there and said, "Liao Lang, I heard that you have a good relationship with Monk Puyuan, are you as close as brothers?"

"There is no such thing. Marquis, the villain protects the lives of the whole family. The villain and Na Puyuan have only met a few times, and have worked together in private. They have never had any friendship. Puyuan is a desperate man. He has been a military general of the court. He is still a little scheming in his heart. How could he be with such a person..."

"Puyuan was betrayed by the Xu family in private, but was punished by this Hou. You were angry and wanted to avenge your friends, so you gathered your troops to rush into the Xu family at night, washed their farm, and killed the entire Xu family."

Liao Lang widened his eyes, and the words before and after were connected. He could understand what Wang Tong said, and he had a letter of fame. He had a good relationship with Monk Puyuan to repay him. Wang Tong ignored his reaction and just said there: "The boat arrived in the river and he couldn't get off the boat. I also had a lot of business on the canal and needed someone to take care of it there."

The two sentences were irrelevant. Liao Lang kowtowed, but his expression was not as panicked as before. He said in contemplation: "What the Marquis said is, but the villain knows that the Xu family's 500 people can gather together, and there are officers and soldiers near their homes. If the officers and soldiers come over, it will be even more troublesome. To be honest, the prince said that the villain can pull out now is one hundred and seventy people, I'm afraid..."

"There are also pirates on the sea. Recruiting pirates to help you. There are still 300 to 400 people who can fight. If you don't lack silver in your hands and recruit outlaws, you can find hundreds of people. Do you know who Sha Dongning is?"

Wang Tong continued, Liao Lang naturally didn't know. Wang Tong explained: "Sha Dongning is Sha Dacheng's eldest son. He can also recruit people for you at sea. He just transports people to Huating County from the water. You have to find a way!"

"It turns out that he is the son of the Sha family, he is disrespectful, disrespectful"

When Liao Lang heard that it was the son of Dacheng, the great hero of the sea, he was solemn, but Wang Tong interrupted directly and asked Sha Dongning indifferently, saying, "With the money, how many people can you recruit at sea?"

Sha Dongning hesitated and kowtowed and said, "The family is in Taizhou and Ningbo. There must be many people who are willing to come in such a good place as the Xu family."

Wang Tong nodded and said again: "I took some with the boat here, and they sent some along the way, a total of more than 40,000 taels. You can take them to the flowers!"

Hearing this number, Sha Dongning was better. Liao Lang slammed on the ground and said loudly: "I must do this for the marquis. Please rest assured!"

"I did not instruct you to do anything. I slept for a day today. Do you know?"

Liao Lang and Sha Dongning both agreed. The reason why Liao Lang was so excited was because Wang Tong's move was so generous. What is the amount of 40,000 taels? He gave it as soon as he said it. He was so generous with money to do things. Will he still suffer losses in the future with such people?

What kind of character is Sha Dacheng? A great hero who can gather nearly 10,000 people at sea. Such a person has to send his son to serve in front of Wang Tong. Why can he hesitate? It is a good opportunity to give such a chance to vote for his reputation.

Moreover, Wang did not mention one thing during the call, that is, the Xu family’s property, which is a huge fortune. If Wang Tong doesn’t mention these, wouldn’t everyone make a fortune?

"There will be legends in Jiangnan. After the monk Puyuan was killed, the Dragon King of Taihu was extremely angry and wanted to collude with pirates and to teach the Xu family a lesson..."

Wang Tong said again, and both of them bowed and listened.

The Yangtze River is east, south and north, some people go from the south to the north, and some people go from the west to the east. The ships are traversing across the Yangtze River. No one notices that someone leaves from Wang Tong's fleet, and no one even notices that several ships are missing on Wang Tong's side.

Shi Qi led people to Liao Town for emergency services, and Shadongning also had errands to Haizhou. This is an explanation. Wang Tong's personal guards have become accustomed to this. They are not related to their own errands, so they will not even ask.

The journey back was very slow. Although Wang Tong recovered well, he was not fast to be safe. Local officials from big towns along the way all selected good doctors to treat the patient.

When he entered Shandong, it was already the fifth day of the ninth month. At this speed, he could still rush back to the capital before the river. Wang Tong had encountered all the experiences in Jiangnan. Wang Tong wrote a memorial and sent someone to submit it to the capital. For such a major event, the capital arranged for Jiangnan to send messages.

When Wang Tong arrived in Jining Prefecture, the capital's decree had been issued. The prefects of Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture were dismissed from office, and the county magistrates in the corresponding jurisdiction were sentenced to prison and punished. The garrison and the officials responsible for arresting thieves were also strictly punished. The Ministry of Justice and the Jinyiwei sent people to Jiangnan to investigate the case.

All relevant nobles and ministers in Nanjing were also issued an order to denounce them. According to the news that the Public Security Bureau came from the capital, during the period when Wang Tong was in Jiangnan, including the news of his assassination, the censor Qingliu had previously attacked Wang Tong for making trouble in Jiangnan and exploited the local area. Later, he gloated and said that this was a punishment from heaven.

All the previous memorials were kept and not sent. Later, these memorials said they were punished by God and asked the emperor to use this as a guide to no longer target the clerks of the family in the Qing Dynasty, and all the censors who were dismissed from office. The least of them were also reprimanded and transferred to the local area to demote.

Moreover, after Wang Tong entered Huai'an Prefecture, there were endless envoys sent from the capital. On the one hand, they conveyed the condolences of Emperor Wanli, and on the other hand, they rewarded Wang Tong's injuries.

Emperor Wanli's concern was clearly expressed, which was also a gesture to the whole world, and the monarch and ministers were harmonious.

Wang Tong has no worries about his life, but he is still weak. In the short distance from Jiningzhou to Linqingzhou, Wang Tong was actually infected with cold wind. No matter what, this is a patient. Be careful to treat you, Linqingpu, specially freed up a large house for a large house to rest. If placed elsewhere, requisitioning a large house is an act of arousing public anger. However, in Linqingzhou, this place is so close to Tianjin Wei, I don’t know how many people do business in Tianjin Wei and rely on Tianjin Wei to make a fortune.

When he heard that Wang Tong wanted to use this house, the wealthy families in Linqingzhou were all competing to offer, fearing that Wang Tong would not use it.

When Wang Tong arrived in Linqingshi, the imperial physicians sent by Emperor Wanli and the Tianjin Wei people also arrived here. Some people were diagnosed and treated, and official duties were also started, but there was no delay.

Compared to his busyness in the past, Wang Tong is now very relaxing, but recuperating is to rest and take medicine all day long. It was not until September 20 that he had recovered a lot and called Qi Wu over to ask questions.

Wang Tong was also very interested in what he had won in Guihua City, which almost reversed the strategic situation on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.
