The boat sailed on the canal, and after passing Gaoqiao Town, it was Wuxi. The next day and night were all the journeys on the edge of Taihu Lake.

It was not dark when it arrived in Wuxi, and local officials and gentry from Wuxi were also coming to welcome the imperial envoy. Wang Tong naturally didn't bother to pay attention and sent the official envoy away directly. Wang Tong didn't get off the ship, so he would not be embarrassed if he didn't get off the ship.

I arranged for Wuxi to supplement some food and medicine, so I didn’t have much contact. The medicines were mainly Ningshen’s medicines, because since Changzhou Prefecture left, Lu Ruomei had been crying and had a little mental state.

Without stopping in Wuxi, the fleet was preparing to moor at Wangting after dark, where the boundary between Changzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture canals was located.

The road was very peaceful, but when it was almost dark, Puyuan's apprentice shouted in the cabin, saying that he wanted to see the imperial envoy. Anyway, there was nothing wrong. Wang Tong directly ordered the person to be brought over.

Puyuan's disciple was also a fat monk with a bad shape. He was tied up and tied up. As soon as he entered Wang Tong's cabin, he bumped into the ground and kowtowed, and said with a hissing:

"Master, those two old men agreed to the young man and wanted to give the young man a happy time. Master must not break his promise."

Grinning there, the methods of Liu Sanlang and Shi Qi were ruthless, which was normal for making life worse than death, but it was a bit strange for this person to suddenly say this.

"It's not that I can't give you happiness. Don't you want to live now? What's going on?"

Wang Tong asked, the monk's face was full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Master, the cabin that is detained by the young can look outward. This afternoon, the Taihu Dragon King's ship followed him. If he was to be caught by the Dragon King's people, it would definitely be cut into pieces. Maybe he would cut his mouth and throw it into the sea to feed the fish. The young man is very guilty and dare not seek a way out. He just wants the eldest master to give him a happy moment now."

"Is there so many people in the green forest called Dragon King in this lake?"

Wang Tong sneered. Such a name was horrifying. I didn't know what Monk Puyuan was in the world. When the person kneeling below mentioned this name, Shi Qi was stunned and looked at Wu Er. Shi Qi stepped forward and asked:

"Monk, is this Dragon King surnamed Liao, who was on the sea in Taizhou back then?"

The monk kneeling on the ground was also stunned, then kowtowed and said:

"It's the Liao family."

"Take people back to their original cabin"

Wu Er said, and the two personal guards came forward to take the person away. Wu Er whispered to Wang Tong:

"Marty, this King Liao Long is a thief on Taihu Lake, with nearly a thousand bandits in his hands. Monk Puyuan had already pretended to be a monk many years ago. The water business of these mansions belongs to this King Liao Long."

Shi Qi next to him also spoke:

"This Liao Longwang was a military general in Ningbo back then. He led his subordinates to escape because of a crime. He used military law to restrain his subordinates. One of his subordinates was strong. He had a fire in Taihu Lake and had more than a dozen thieves. There were even rumors that Liao had fought with real Japanese pirates in Songjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, and he did not suffer any losses."

After all, bandits are bandits, and the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers is too unbearable. However, the Tartars in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south are recognized as powerful disasters. It is indeed amazing to be able to fight against the Japanese pirates without losing their disadvantages.

"When I got here, there was no reason to go back. I'm afraid I'll invite the officers and soldiers from Zhenhaiwei to have other disasters. Go ashore at Hushu Pass, and then go to Suzhou Prefecture to mobilize horses. Let's go to Songjiang on land."

Wang Tong slapped the table and made a decision.

In Nanjing, two streets away from Wang Tong's residence at that time, two people dressed in merchants walked out in a hurry with big bags.

They carried their bags but did not leave the city. They wandered around the city, but stopped behind a dilapidated temple somewhere in the city, picked up some dry firewood outside, and then used a fire note to ignite the fire, then took out a stack of letters from the bags, and threw them into the fire.

As soon as he threw it in a stack, he heard footsteps. Two men dressed up in the arms led a few soldiers from the Jinyiwei, and the soldiers of the Jinyiweiwei shouted loudly:

"What are you doing? Do you want to set fire in the city?"

Most of the cities in Nanjing are made of wooden buildings. At this time, the weather was dry and the things were dry. It was really suspicious that the two of them ignited the fire. When they saw the officials coming, the two of them were panicked and hurriedly threw the paper letters in their hands into the fire and ran away. The officials naturally hurriedly caught up with them. Someone walked past the fire and picked up a piece of paper that had not burned. After seeing it, they were stunned. He didn't recognize much, but this letter was a post that was thrown into the homes of the nobles in Nanjing a few days ago.

After searching for so long, I didn't see it, but it took no time to get it. The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard hurriedly put out the flames and got all the letters out.

The incident was simple. The two men were sneaking all day long. So many things happened in Nanjing recently. The inn shopkeeper was afraid of taking in bandits or something, so the two left, so they sent their staff to follow him, and they were familiar with the nearby Jinyi Guards and called them together.

I found out this letter and sent it to my boss, but the news could not be kept confidential. All I should know in Nanjing City.

The boss of these soldiers was Zhang Liansheng. After Wang Tong left, Zhang Liansheng finally knew what the fun was to be the Qiangu family of the Jinyiwei. In the past, many people who did not see each other in their own eyes were able to please each other. In the past, they still gave them a smile.

Coincidentally, it was found that the soldier who threw the post was Zhang Liansheng's subordinate. When he heard that it was related to the posting some time ago, Zhang Liansheng immediately became very energetic.

This matter was involved with the nobles in Nanjing and Wang Tong. After finding out, it was his own contribution and could please all parties.

No matter how lazy the Jinyiwei is, he has the skills of torture and torture. The two people caught are not a slaughter. They will be attacked as soon as they are used to torture.

These two merchants were the confidants of Li Zhi, the inspector of Zhili. They were all instructed by Li Zhi in Nanjing. Who is Li Zhi? The big men in Nanjing also know the heroic plot of the capital. Even if Zhang Liansheng ordered to keep it confidential, the news was still known by those who should know.

Someone greeted him that night. Don’t make any statement about this. Report it to the imperial envoy first. After the imperial envoy makes a decision, we will assume that there is no such thing for the time being. Some people even pointed out directly that Li Zhi is an official in the capital, and the six cabinets of the capital, all of whom have ministers and he has a connection with him. This matter is too wide and we cannot interfere.

After hearing this, Zhang Liansheng did not dare to neglect and arranged for someone to hurriedly send the news to Songjiang Prefecture.

After being detained for a few days, Meng Xianhui, a former Qianhu, also told him who was behind him. He was the Jinyiwei, so he naturally knew the torture methods in the Jinyiwei. After staying for a few days, he felt frightened, fearing that these methods would fall on his own and telling him who was behind him. This was also a death sentence. At worst, he would not do this job anymore.

It was similar to what Wang Tong expected. Meng Xianhui was a thousand households supported by the Xu family. No matter what kind of heroic and treacherous ministers, he was always right for his hometown. However, Xu Jie was an exception. He bullied the villagers too much and annexed the land. He also did a lot of other activities. He offended so many people, so Xu Jie did not dare to be buried in his hometown after his death.

In this case, in order to protect one's family business and family, we naturally have to support a group of people in the face of officials and the underworld, and Meng Xianhui is one of them.

However, Meng Xianhui refused to say much, saying that he was cared for by the Xu family, so that he could stand out among so many people and sit in the position of a thousand households. As for what he asked him to do, he only admitted that the hundred households he followed was instructed by him, and he didn't know anything else.

Zhang Liansheng was helpless. At most, this was just an explanation to Wang Tong. He couldn't do anything else, so he simply detained him first.

Although he was careful, Wang Tong's team encountered no trouble until Wuxian, Suzhou Prefecture City, and the journey was peaceful.

Suzhou is the richest place in the world. Sanjiang Trading Company naturally has business names and places where it has its own family, so it is naturally much more convenient to do things.

Suzhou Prefecture came to meet and prepared horses according to Wang Tong's instructions. Sanjiang Trading Company and local servants went to Lu Ruomei's home to find Lu Ruomei's old mother.

Lu Ruomei has been in a daze these days and is not very energetic. For her safety, Wang Tong also disagreed with her getting off the boat. At noon, Wang Tong called her over.

After entering the room, there was no personal guard as usual, only Wang Tong was here, with a heavy expression. When she saw her coming in, she waved her hand to let the maid who followed Lu Ruomei back down. Wang Tong coughed and said:

"Your mother hangs herself, and your neighbor found the body the day before yesterday."

Lu Ruomei leaned forward, and seemed to have not heard clearly. Then she shook violently, with no blood on her face, and she was kneeling there pale.

Wang Tong said again:

"I have some people here with some local relationships. I heard from the officers that day that someone in the neighborhood saw two monks dressed up and a gangster who came into your house. You should understand whether they were hanging or not."

"How could my mother survive such a hard life? She saw that the grievances could be washed away and the revenge could be avenged. How could she hang herself at this time?"

Lu Ruomei murmured, her eyes dissipated, she shook her head suddenly, her expression turned into determination, and she stepped forward and said shrillly:

"Master, this must be the Xu family's dispatch of people to attack, this must be the Xu family's dispatch of people to kill and silence them, and ask the master to make decisions for the people's women and avenge them."
