There are too many gifts. It took a lot of effort to just enter the mansion, which caused a small sensation in the capital. Dingbei Hou did not accept gifts very much, and this gift was so big. Everyone was always enjoying the snow and having fun at home. This news made everyone have more topics of conversation. It was just topics of discussion, and no one thought it was a big deal. It was abnormal for Lord Wang to not accept gifts. Now, this situation may be commonplace in the future. Not to mention anything else, when Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister, how many gifts were given at his door were far away. Look at the door of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue, how many people were carrying porters and horses carrying gifts.

Wang Tong accepted the gift and sent someone to the inn to greet him. Sun Shoulian had already arrived, but left halfway. This was actually quite rude.

The butler in Wang Tong's mansion went to see. If Sun Shoulian left Wang Tong's house and went to something else, then this person would have disappeared.

After Sun Shoulian left Wang Tong's mansion, he returned directly to the inn. He did not go anywhere else. Moreover, when he came from other channels, Sun Shoulian was frowning and restless in the inn.

It was similar to Wang Tong's judgment. Sun Shoulian came here this time just to find him, and there was something wrong.

However, when we met at noon the next day, Sun Shoulian was chatting and laughing, and could not see any difficulties. First, he visited the door and chatted and greeted each other, but he could not see any abnormality. Wang Tong's mansion was relatively small, and when he came, the guests were all going to the restaurant outside to host a banquet, and Sun Shoulian was naturally no exception.

The chef also focused on flattering the place in the separate courtyard of Zhenxing Building. The wine and food were quite exciting. Wang Tong was quite relaxed and leisurely. He talked about the snow that had stopped this morning, the business of Tianjin Weihe Liao Town, and his experience in Guihua City and last year in Jiangnan.

Sun Shoulian is a native of Liao Town. He has not been to many places, but the more prosperous ones are the capital and Tianjin Wei. However, he is quite flattering and knows how to advance and retreat, making Wang Tong feel comfortable. This is also the ability of an old man in the officialdom. After a few glasses of wine, since he received the attitude of an old friend and an old friend, Sun Shoulian was also relaxed. He didn't see any worries or restlessness at all, and he was also busy at home. He bought opera troupes in Jiangnan. After spending more than a dozen small operas in the mansion for less than half a year, most of the other military leaders who came here were asked to go there. The men from northern China, who had seen the gentle and charming women in Jiangnan, gave him money to buy them.

This was just a beginning. After Sun Shoulian said a few words, he began to talk about the hostility of the Liao Town General Li Chengliang, the general Li Rubai and others towards Wang Tong, believing that Wang Tong's victory in Guihua City was not entirely untrue, because he was favored by Emperor Wanli, so he faked his contributions.

He also said that Ma Lin, the deputy general of Liao Town, who was originally from the Xuanfu, also had the same position as Li Chengliang and others, saying that Wang Tong ignored the life and death of the soldiers and the safety of the Ming Dynasty, took risks in the north for his own achievements, etc. He also said that Wang Tong deducted military pay and drove soldiers to become serfs, treating him like a livestock.

The Liao Town was still saying that all the elite troops in Liao Town were out, and then they achieved this battle with the Korqin tribe. Wang Tong was just a group of infantrymen. How could he have such a shocking victory? This must be a false statement.

Wang Tong had a smile on his face and his expression had not changed much. Sun Shoulian said in the end that there was no more talk, all about the hostility of these Liao Towns towards Wang Tong.

"Mr. Sun is also worried too much. Liaozhen and this marquis have never had any dealings with us. The great victory that this marquis has achieved is really amazing. It is not surprising that they have these ideas. Let them tell you, can this marquis still care about how they speak?"

When Sun Shoulian paused, Wang Tong raised his glass with a smile and said, "The whole world is talking about himself, and it is normal for Liaozhen to say this." Besides, both sides are warriors. Wang Tong has achieved such great merits. The most nervous thing in the world is Liaozhen. He is afraid that he will be despised and his power and wealth cannot be maintained now.

Although Liao Town rejected the entry of Tianjin Guards, Jinyiwei could still get enough information in Liao Town. Wang Tong also heard about the hostility and strange words of Liao Town from General Li Chengliang to him, but it was just a matter of being in front of him. What else can it be done? Let them go!

What really made Wang Tong feel strange was that the purpose of Sun Shoulian saying these words was clearly tortured the relationship between Wang Tong and Liao Town, especially for him, the general of Liao Town's sub-guard. Recalling the heavy gifts he gave yesterday, the hesitation of coming and leaving, and today's words made Wang Tong even more confused.####

But Wang Tong would not take the initiative to mention anything, so he said that. Sure enough, Wang Tong's indifferent attitude made Sun Shoulian very disappointed, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

Although the banquet at Zhenxing Building was rich, it didn't take much time for the two of them to be on the table. When the food and drinks were used up, Wang Tong ordered people to remove the table and change it to tea and snacks. Here, Wang Tong was used as a private house, and everything was convenient.

When the tea and snacks came up, the smile on Sun Shoulian's face became more and more stiff, and he stopped talking more often. After thinking for a long time, he cleared his throat there and said:

"The Marquis should know, and I don't know what was going on outside the pass, and I drove our Tianjin Macao business outward. Isn't this just leaving money without making money and ruining everyone's kindness?"

Wang Tong said "Oh", and Sun Shoulian continued:

"Please rest assured, even though this is an order from the general of Liao Town Li Chengliang, if you have a subordinate, you will definitely be able to protect the various businesses in Tianjin. You just want to ask everyone to change your name."

"This is a trivial matter. Please ask Lord Sun to worry about it then."

Wang Tong said calmly. By this time, Wang Tong was already a little impatient. He said bad things about Liao Zhen, gave him a heavy gift, and made promises of these and such things. He was nothing more than asking others for help, but he didn't say his own purpose, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about.

After saying this, Wang Tong put his teacup on the coffee table casually and said:

"What Mr. Sun did yesterday and today seems to have something to ask me for something. You and I have been together for several years. Why should I hide it like this? If I don't say it, I will still have official duties, so I will say goodbye first."

Sun Shoulian was exposed by Wang Tong, and his expression was immediately awkward. He hesitated again. Wang Tong shook his head and stood up, clasped his fists and prepared to leave. They were all men leading the troops to fight, but Wang Tong was really impatient when he was doing these people's behavior.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a "thump" sound from behind. Looking back, Sun Shoulian had already knelt on the ground. Seeing Wang Tong turn around, Sun Shoulian knocked down several times and said anxiously:

"Mr. Save me!"

This should be the main topic. Wang Tong waved his hand and asked the personal guard who heard the movement to go out, turned around and walked over and said:

"Sir Sun, since I want this marquis to save you, why didn't you say it earlier? I gave gifts and went back yesterday, and it was like this at the banquet today. This is really not a friend's way."

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Sun Shoulian knelt there and kowtowed, and said anxiously:

"The Xiaguan also knows to be stingy in this way, but the Xiaguan dare not say some things, and he doesn't know whether the marquis will save him. So he did this. I hope the marquis can have a good relationship."

"What the hell is it that you came here at this time and even tossed with these things?"

Wang Tong sat back to his position, but Sun Shoulian did not get up. He turned down and turned to kneel towards Wang Tong. His face was full of beard and had a bit of mighty attitude, but now he was completely gone. He was panicked and humble, and extremely vulgar. He kowtowed three times on the ground and raised his head and said:

"Mr. Marquis, then Li Chengliang wants to remove his subordinates from his post and ask him for his crime of greed and unscrupulous killing. The villain's wealth and life are hard to protect! Please help him!"

"You are also Li Chengliang's confidant, why do you turn against each other so much?"

"Don't blame Marquis, Li Chengliang and Xiaguan turned against each other because Xiaguan got too close to Tianjin Wei and Marquis, and Xiaguan made some money by using the Marquis' east wind over the years. He was targeted by some villains, and they all wanted to ask the villain for questioning so that they could divide the villain's property, which is why the disaster today is caused."

Wang Tong frowned. In this situation, Sun Shoulian said that these things were not like fakes. But if Liao Town wanted to punish a general, there was no reason for the capital to know. Sanjiang Trading Company and Jinyiwei should have inquired about the news, and Sun Shoulian was close to him.

"How did you know this?"

"The military generals who are in charge of guards in Liao Town will spend a lot of money to make friends with one or two of their confidants in Li Chengliang's mansion so that the news can be smooth. This time, the kind-hearted man passed the news to the lower official, saying that he would attack the villain in February next year."

Wang Tong did not ask about the crime of corruption and killing. No matter who the generals of the Ming Dynasty were, they could find out these two charges as long as they were carefully investigated. It was nothing more than whether they were investigated or not. After all, Sun Shoulian had all kinds of dealings with Sanjiang Trading Company, and as far as Wang Tong knew, he was not crazy. He still had to protect this person.

"You are so worried that this marquis is unwilling to offend General Li and save you, right?"

Sun Shoulian did not answer immediately. Wang Tong knew that he was right, so he waved his hand and said:

"You think of this marquis too timidly, you don't have to worry. Just come to the inner palace. I will protect you as a general. Your glory and wealth are no less than yours in Liao Town. Don't worry!"

Although Wang Tong said it easily, Sun Shoulian still kowtowed. Although the generals were in the high position in the army, they had the power to guard the territory and lead troops, but for Wang Tong, this promise was really nothing.

A hundred thousand gift, two days of artificiality, Sun Shoulian was satisfied with this result, but he kowtowed and was silent for a while, and looked up and said:

"Mr. Marquis, the emperor is unwilling to give up!"—

It seems that I got the full attendance this month
