Chapter Twelve: The Unexpected Turnaround

  Wang Tong had finished speaking and retreated to the corner with a respectful expression. Tian Ronghao's face was expressionless, but as he scanned Wang Tong and Zhao Guotang, who were calm and flustered respectively, he thought to himself: There are several shops on South Street that belong to those big shots upstairs. You, Zhao Guotang, are causing trouble over there, aren't you embarrassing me? I don't know why Liu Xinyong let you work there in the first place. Sooner or later, you'll bring disaster upon yourself.

  But seeing Wang Tong's calm demeanor, Tian Baihu's anger dissipated without a trace. This kid is indeed mature beyond his years and has great prospects ahead of him.

  "Li Wenyuan, it's not your turn to shout here!"

  Tian Baiwu first scolded the middle-aged man with a bad tone, then asked coldly:

  "What position is Wang Tong in now?"

  Liu Xinyong was taken aback, thinking that at the beginning, because Wang Tongling still owed Tian Baihu silver, he had asked Tian Baihu specifically during the assignment and confirmed that there was no relationship before giving him a idle job. Now this situation seems to be somewhat off, but he still opened his mouth to answer:

  "Wang Tong is still young and currently stays behind as a reserve."

  Tian Baiwu nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and said in a cold voice:

  "Youth is reckless, idling around will easily lead to mistakes, it's better to find something to do. Liu Zongqi, the southern street is not under Zhao Guotang's jurisdiction, let Wang Tong take care of it together with him. Zhang Shiqiang used to follow Wang Li, now he can follow Wang Tong!"

  It was another silence, no one had expected this result. Zhao Guotang's face suddenly turned white, and he didn't care about being in front of the crowd, hastily taking two steps to run to Liu Xinyong's side, and begged:

  Liu head...

  Just as he had said half of it, Liu Xinyong glared at him fiercely, but Tian Baihu didn't care about this and directly shouted:

  "Everyone, when you're out and about, always mind your manners, don't lose the dignity of our Jin Yi Wei brothers, or we'll become a laughing stock. Everything is normal today, but don't be late tomorrow."

  Below a loud response, Liu Xinyong's face turned iron green, and he didn't even bow his head, directly mounting his horse to leave. Zhao Guotang didn't dare stay here any longer either, hastily following after him.

  Tian Ronghao rode his horse towards the west city, but the Jin Yiwei guards below did not disperse immediately. This morning, through Wang Tong's account, he was well-received by his colleagues.

  When it was time to disperse, many familiar and unfamiliar people came over to pat shoulders or offer congratulations. Yesterday afternoon, Wang Tong heard Zhang Shiqiang say that being on duty in the south street of Tian Baihu's jurisdiction was one of the most lucrative positions. Moreover, what Wang Tong did was indeed relieving, making people feel satisfied.

  Wang Tong politely thanked him, but he himself was confused and had no idea what this inexplicable turn of events was all about. Could it be that the silver money had brought them good fortune, but it didn't make sense?

  However, the result was far better than expected. As people gradually dispersed, Wang Tong looked at Zhang Shiqiang standing beside him and smiled, saying:

  "Zhang, from now on, please take care of me more often."

  Zhang Shiqiang bowed deeply and replied in a low, respectful tone:

  "But just follow little brother's orders."

  After dawn broke, Tian Bahu's attendants took Wang Tong to South Street and informed all the households.

  After beating Zhao Guocong violently yesterday, Wang Tong only gained a good impression in the hearts of businessmen, and everyone also estimated that this person would not last long. The courtesy in the morning was just a guest's politeness.

  Who would have thought that after more than an hour, this little brocade guard would actually be on duty on this street, and that's where the interests are at stake, and his enthusiasm has reached a new level.

  It is said that Wang Tong and Zhao Guozhu are jointly guarding the south street, but after yesterday's confrontation, it is clear who is stronger and who is weaker, and everyone naturally knows who is in charge.

  The news of the merchants was also very informed, and at dawn, Tian Baiwu's attitude towards Wang Tong changed and the treatment similar to a reward, which further suggests that this young Jin Yiwei master may have some powerful backing, otherwise, how could he be treated so well after beating someone so severely.

  The courtesy in the morning was still within Wang Tong's acceptable range, but the enthusiasm at this time was a bit unbearable for him. He could only clench his fists and respond with a smile, without daring to strike back.

  Zhang Shiqiang has always been following Wang Tong with a humble and obedient attitude, yesterday he still had the demeanor of an elder, but today he is completely subordinate.

  "Lord Wang, come visit our humble shop today and try some of our signature dishes."

  "Lord Wang, some game was sent from outside the city yesterday, just in time to taste something fresh..."

  "...Is there anything else you need at the moment? I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to you..."

  Just a few steps away, Wang Tong was surrounded by enthusiastic merchants. Outside, there were customers and onlookers who couldn't help but glance over to see what was going on. Upon seeing that it was a Jin Yiwei wearing a flying fish robe, they turned their backs and spat, thinking that these people were bullying others again. They muttered under their breath:

  "These blood-drinking and flesh-eating eagle dogs..."

  Who would have thought that the words were heard by the neighbors on both sides, and it was inevitable to recount what Wang Tong did yesterday. Hearing this, it really makes people admire, and the scolding of a moment ago has to be praised again:

  "A true man of honor!!"

  He inexplicably got this errand, but since he had the errand, he wanted to do it well. Wang Tong was thinking of having a few drinks with Zhang Shiqiang at noon and making some plans.

  It can be seen that these businessmen are so polite, and it's probably not very convenient to discuss things in a wine house. It's also not good to be treated for nothing on the first day. Let's take our time and do things slowly over time.

  At this time, someone outside shouted in a loud voice:

  "Is this the newly arrived Lieutenant Wang Tong?"

  At the sound of this voice, the enthusiastic merchants surrounding Wang Tong automatically parted to make way for a tall man wearing a cyan brocade robe who walked over with a smile.

  This big Han was half a head taller than Wang Tong, with a sturdy and majestic build. On a cold day, he had a shiny bald head, with his chin hair neatly trimmed. Behind him followed two men in black clothes. The big man walked with big strides, with a strong and powerful aura.

  Wang Tong noticed that this person's attitude towards him was equal, even slightly condescending, rather than the fawning of these merchants on the street. Looking at his attire, he didn't seem to be an official, and just as Wang Tong was wondering, the big man introduced himself:

  "He Gu Jin Yin of Xia Jiu Yi Fang has paid his respects."

  Juyifang, Wang Tong was stunned and only reacted after a while. Isn't that the casino in the middle of South Street? When Wang Li was alive, he never allowed him to get close, even if he passed by, he had to hurry up, so his impression wasn't deep.

  The other party just made a fist, and their attitude couldn't be considered polite, it was just a greeting. However, Wang Tong didn't dare to be slow, the other party had their own backing, everything was unclear for now, so it's better to be cautious, he also responded with a fist.

  He Jin and Yin smiled and rubbed their own bald heads, laughing:

  "Grown-ups have leisure time, come to the gathering place to pass the time, don't be polite, He has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
