Chapter 866 Don't You Want To Avenge Pu Yuan?
When Liao Lang was assassinated by Wang Tong, he was really terrified. He turned his back on Wang Tong, and naturally offended the Songjiang Xu family. If Wang Tong died, no one would protect him, and he would have nowhere to go. Even in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xu family is not a soft-hearted person.

After Wang Tong woke up, Liao Lang breathed a sigh of relief, but the investigation of Xu's family was neither painful nor itchy, and did not hurt the roots of Xu's family at all. Jiangnan still couldn't stay here, and returning to the north with Wang Tong was also a good choice.

But Liao Lang is also a character who rolls out on the tip of a knife, so he can naturally feel that Wang Tong's side is wary of him. Besides.

Suddenly being called into the cabin by Wang Tong on the river, Liao Lang was quite apprehensive, but he also had some expectations. It depends on how much the master talks to you and whether you are needed or not. Now is obviously a good start.

Looking at Sha Dongning who entered the cabin with him, Liao Lang felt a little emotional. Wang Tong was young, and the cronies around him were also teenagers. It's okay for him to be in his 40s and [-]s to seek peace and wealth. It is not easy to be born.

Sha Dongning was a little worried. He seldom saw Wang Tong like this. Wang Tong was not very old, and he looked more mature and stable than his age, but he was always energetic and full of energy. After being assassinated, his body was weak. , People are also silent a lot, which makes people very uncomfortable.

When the two entered the cabin, they saw Wang Tong sitting there wearing a quilt, not knowing what he was thinking. When the two greeted each other, Wang Tong did not respond. Liao Lang and Sha Dongning stood there respectfully, waiting ordered.

"Liao Lang, it's unbelievable that you rashly come here to ask for help!"

Unexpectedly, when Wang Tong said this, Liao Lang felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously looked left and right, but Sha Dongning put his hand on the handle of the knife. Although Liao Lang looked honest, Wang Tong wanted to If he gave the order, he would kill him without hesitation. Liao Lang calculated, but he could only kneel on the deck, crying and saying:

"Master Hou, a small heart to the imperial court, a heart of loyalty, Master Hou is a clear lesson!"

Wang Tong glanced at him, and continued to say lightly:
"I heard that in your Jianghu, if outsiders want to join a gang, they always have to commit a crime. It's called a vote. With this vote, you can be trusted. Those people you killed that day, who knows if they are small thieves looking around? Not sure!"

Liao Lang forgot to pretend to cry, and looked up at Wang Tong in astonishment. He naturally understood what he said, but should the Marquis of Dingbei say these words, the commander of Jin Yiwei?

Wang Tong continued to say there:

"Liao Lang, I heard that you and Monk Puyuan have a very good friendship, like brothers?"

"There is absolutely no such matter, Lord Hou, the villain is using the lives of the whole family as a guarantee. The villain and Na Puyuan have only met a few times and cooperated on a few things in private. They have never had any friendship. Puyuan alone Born as a desperado, the villain has been a military general in the imperial court, and I still have some concerns in my heart, how could I get along with this."

"Pu Yuan was secretly betrayed by Xu's family, and ended up being brought to justice by Ben Hou. You couldn't be more angry in your heart. You wanted to avenge your friend, so you gathered your troops and stormed into Xu's house at night, washed their house, and killed the whole family of Xu's family."

Liao Lang's eyes widened, connecting the words before and after, he could understand what Wang Tong said, submitted a certificate of honor, made friends with Monk Pu Yuan, and avenged him.
Wang Tong also ignored his reaction, and just said there:

"When the boat arrives in the middle of the river, if you want to disembark, you won't be able to. I also have a lot of business on the canal, and I need someone to take care of it."

The two sentences had nothing to do with each other, Liao Lang kowtowed, but his expression was not as flustered as before, and he said in thought:

"What Hou Ye said is true, but the villain knows that the Xu family can gather 500 members of the Xu family, and there are officers and soldiers near their house. Big trouble, to be honest with Lord Hou, the villain’s hands can pull out 170 people, I’m afraid it’s "

"There are also pirates at sea. If you recruit pirates to help you, there are still three or four hundred people who can fight. If you don't lack money, if you spread money to recruit desperadoes, you can find hundreds more. Who is Sha Dongning? do you know?"

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

"It turned out to be the son of Lord Sha, disrespect, disrespect"

When Liao Lang heard that he was the son of Sha Dacheng, a great man in the sea, Liao Lang was in awe, but Wang Tong interrupted him directly, and asked Sha Dongning indifferently:
"With enough money, how many people can you recruit at sea?"

Sha Dongning hesitated, kowtowed and said:

"My subordinate's family is old in Taizhou and Ningbo. There must be many people willing to come to a place like the Xu family."

Wang Tong nodded and said again:
"I brought some with the boat here, and they gave some more along the way. The total is more than 4 taels. Take it and spend it!"

Hearing this number, Sha Dongning was better. Liao Lang knocked his head on the ground and said loudly:
"The subordinates must do this well for Lord Hou, please rest assured!"

"The Marquis didn't order you to do anything. The Marquis slept all day today, do you know?"

Both Liao Lang and Sha Dongning agreed. The reason why Liao Lang was so excited was because Wang Tong's move was too generous. What kind of amount is 4 taels? Would such a person still suffer?
What kind of person is Sha Dacheng? He can gather nearly ten thousand people at sea. Such a person will send his son to serve in front of Wang Tong. Why do I hesitate? It is a godsend opportunity to give such a chance to submit a certificate.

And there is one thing that Wang didn't mention in the phone call, that is, the property of the Xu family, which is a huge fortune.

"There are legends in Jiangnan that after Monk Puyuan was killed, the Dragon King of Taihu Lake was so angry that he wanted to collude with pirates and teach the Xu family a lesson."

Wang Tong said again, and the two people below bowed and listened.

The Yangtze River runs from east to west, from north to south, some people go from south to north, and some people go from west to east. Ships cross the Yangtze River. No one notices that anyone leaves from Wang Tong's fleet, and no one even notices how many people are there on Wang Tong's side. The boat is gone.

Shi Qi led his people to Liao Town on an urgent errand, and Sha Dongning also had an errand to Haizhou. This is an internal explanation. Wang Tong's personal guards are already used to this. It is not an errand related to him. Will not ask.

***************
The return journey was very slow. Although Wang Tong recovered well, he did not walk fast for safety reasons. The magistrates in the big towns along the way all selected good doctors from the local area to come for diagnosis and treatment.

It was already the fifth day of September when we entered Shandong. If we were traveling at this speed, we would still be able to return to the capital before the river. What Wang Tong encountered in the south of the Yangtze River, Wang Tong wrote a memorial and sent someone to send it to the capital quickly. For such a major event, the eyes and ears arranged by the capital in the south of the Yangtze River will also send news.

When Wang Tong arrived in Jining Prefecture, the imperial edict had been issued, and the prefects of Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture were all dismissed from office, and the county magistrates in the corresponding jurisdictions were sentenced to prison and punished. It was severely punished, and both the Criminal Ministry and Jin Yiwei sent people to Jiangnan to investigate the case.

All relevant nobles and ministers in Nanjing City were also reprimanded by decree. According to the news from the capital, Wang Tong was in the south of the Yangtze River, including when the news of his assassination reached the capital. In the south of the Yangtze River, he ran amok and exploited the local area, and later he gloated and said that it was God's punishment.

The previous memorials were all kept unpublished. Later, these Shangshu said that they were punished by heaven, and asked the emperor to take this as a lesson to stop all officials who spoke against Qingwang's family from being dismissed. The lightest ones were reprimanded and transferred to local Go up and demote.

Moreover, after Wang Tong entered the Huai'an mansion, there was an endless stream of envoys from the capital. On the one hand, they came to convey the condolences of Emperor Wanli, and on the other hand, they reported Wang Tong's injury.

Emperor Wanli expressed his concern clearly. This is also a gesture to the whole world, and the monarch and his subjects are in harmony.

Wang Tong's life is safe, but he is still weak, and in the short distance from Jining prefecture to Linqing prefecture, Wang Tong caught wind and cold. No matter what, he is a sick person, so he should be treated with caution.

Linqing prefecture specially vacated the house of a big family for Wang Tong to rest here. If it were placed elsewhere, expropriating the house of a big family would be a move to arouse public outrage, but in Linqing prefecture, it is so close to Tianjin Wei. People do business in Tianjin Wei and rely on Tianjin Wei to make a fortune.

Hearing that Wang Tong wanted to use this house, all the big and wealthy families in Linqing Prefecture rushed to contribute, lest Wang Tong not use it.

**************
When Wang Tong arrived in Linqing Prefecture, the imperial physician sent by Emperor Wanli and a group of people from Tianjin Wei also came here. They were diagnosed and treated, and the official business was also started, so there was no delay.

Compared with the previous busyness, Wang Tong is very leisurely now, but recuperating means resting and taking medicine all day long. It was not until September [-]th that he recovered a lot, and he called Qi Wu over for questioning.

Wang Tong was also very interested in how Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the world, would comment on his victory in Guihua City, which almost turned the strategic situation on the northern border of Ming Dynasty.

"Marshal Qi said that if the naturalization is eliminated, the garrison there is like driving a nail into the heart of the Tartars. From now on, the Tartars in the east and west will be gradually eaten away. Marshal Qi also said that the benefits of this battle are Qianqiu, but this battle will be fought by a veteran who is over 50 years old. After the battle, he will enjoy the wealth and honor. Hou Ye has such meritorious deeds at this age, and His Majesty is also young, and the days are still long. I am afraid that there will be troubles on the Hou Ye's side. "
