He has made up his mind to bring order to the chaos and eradicate the several major gangs that have been causing trouble in Bianjing City for many days, but Sun Tu also knows that this will not be easy. Even the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture are helpless against these gangs. If you want to succeed on your own, you will inevitably encounter various difficulties and obstacles. To overcome these difficulties, it is not enough to rely on yourself and Lu Zhishen and others. You must also have the government. The support of strength is.
For now, the most important thing is to fully control the Yamen police officers and agents so that they can obey their orders. As a former soldier, Sun Tu understood very well that only by working together as one and following orders and prohibitions can the enemy be defeated.
But at least for now, his idea is not realistic yet. When Sun Tu sent a message the next day to gather the 20 people who were considered his subordinates, all the old fritters in these yamen seemed to have no energy, and they did not pay attention to his immediate boss, and even There were three other people who simply didn't show up.
This is actually reasonable. As the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture, Sun Tu has no prestige at all in the hearts of these police officers. Coupled with his age, it makes them even more contemptuous. He was convinced, so even though he was a ninth-grade official, he could not convince these old fritters. He just lined up lazily and stood there relaxedly, talking and laughing to himself.
After Sun Tu, who was standing in front of them, saw this performance, his face became as gloomy as the sky today. After looking at them for a while, he sneered and said: "I used to wonder why the people in Bianjing City never thought about anything. I’m going to tell you why those young people can do whatever they want in the city. Now I finally understand, it’s precisely because of people like you hanging around in my Kaifeng government office that we have this kind of result!”
Facing Sun Tu's sarcasm, none of these people showed any shame at all. They just said lazily: "I wonder what Sun Dutou ordered us to do when he gathered us together? But are there any errands for us to do?" "Some people even have greed in their eyes. This is a good opportunity to make money.
It is said that redundant officials and personnel have always been a big problem in the Song Dynasty. Even after the Xining Reform, the problem was not really solved. What's more serious is that in addition to officials at all levels, various yamen also have many scribes and servants. However, these people do not receive their salaries from the court, but find other ways.
Some officials who are relatively easy to talk to will use part of their eunuch purses to distribute to their subordinates and servants, but more often, they can only exploit money from the people through various means. For this reason, these subordinate officials often create clever names and find any opportunity to deceive or intimidate the people under their control to get money from the people under their control. The police officers and policemen in Kaifeng Mansion are no exception.
Sun Tu understood what they were thinking for a moment, and immediately hummed: "Of course there are errands, but I'm just afraid that you don't have the guts to do them."
"As long as you give the order, Sun Dutou, there is no errand we dare not do." Someone said harshly.
"I plan to take over the Zhujie Gang and the Shunshui Gang. Do you have the guts to come with me?" Sun Tu suddenly asked in a deep voice. This question immediately shocked the people who were a little careless at first. They looked at the new Dutou as if he was crazy. After a while, someone said in uncertainty: "Dutou, what did you say?"
Sun Tu repeated what he just said: "This is the responsibility assigned to me by Xue Tongpan. You must remember it."
After receiving the confirmation, the expressions of these people completely changed. Isn't this seeking death? The case of the sudden death of two Dutou in Bianhe half a year ago has not yet been investigated. Now Sun Dutou is going to provoke those guys again? It doesn't matter if he is crazy, he and others don't want to die...
"Why, are you scared?" Sun Tu looked at them with a half-smile: "Didn't you just say that there is nothing you dare not do? Why are you so scared when you hear the names of the Bamboo Jie Gang and the Shunshui Gang? appearance?"
"Sun Dutou, you can't talk nonsense about this matter. It's better to think about it in the long term..." An older middle-aged detective couldn't help but persuaded: "I thought Xue Tong would not give such an order. .”
"It's not up to you to decide whether it is yes or no." Sun Tu had no intention of bargaining with them: "But don't worry, today is not the time yet. I have a more important errand for you to do now, which is to pick up people. "
This time these old fritters didn't dare to interrupt at will, and just listened quietly to what was going to happen, but Sun Tu glanced at the middle-aged catcher: "What's your name?"
"Little Cui Lueshang."
"Cui Lueshang, I want to ask you, are you familiar with the three people who were not present today?"
"They are You Laoba, Huang Qi and Yan Huan."
"Very good." Sun Tu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Today I will take you to arrest these three lawless guys and hold them accountable!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned again. But Sun Tu didn't give them any time to think, and immediately waved his hand: "Let's go!"
After all, he is an official and the head of the yamen with real power, the immediate boss of these people. Following his order, all the detectives, no matter how reluctant they were, could only accept the order and follow him out. It wasn't until he left the gate of the government office that Sun Tu glanced at Cui Lueshang again and asked, "Do you know where the three of them live? Lead the way."
"Du Tou, Huang Qi and the other three should not be at home at this time..." Cui Lueshang's voice broke off as he spoke, obviously worried about something.
Sun Tu immediately frowned: "Then where did they go? Tell me the truth!"
"They should have gone to Maojia Lane in Changxingfang to pick up someone. That was an errand ordered by Lu Du two days ago." Another person immediately answered helpfully. The meaning is very clear. It's not that those three people don't give you Sundu face, it's because they have errands to do.
"Oh? I don't know anything about this?" Sun Tu had no intention of going back: "Then go to Changxingfang. It's more important to see what prisoners they want to take than to see my boss." As he said, He ignored everyone's embarrassing reactions and strode forward. After the others looked at each other for a few times, they could only follow.
At this time, a police officer who had just been hanging around them had hurried to the side hall and reported to Lu Fang and Shen Liang who were sitting and chatting inside: "Both of you are in trouble, and Sun Dutou suddenly brought He left the Yamen, saying that he was going to bring back Huang Qi and the others who were no longer serving as servants in the Yamen."
The expressions of the two lieutenants who were originally relaxed changed. Shen Liang even glanced at his old rival: "Is this the attack you arranged?" He knew the opponent's methods very well, so he immediately heard it. I made a rough guess.
"Didn't we find out the whereabouts of Zhang Si and his family two days ago? I thought I should give Fang Yasi an explanation, so I asked You Laoba and the others to go get them. Is there any problem with this?" Lu Fang Having quickly calmed down, he asked disapprovingly.
"I've never seen you be so caring before, and you sent someone out right when Sun Du was about to summon everyone to lecture. You must have done it intentionally, right?" After a pause, Shen Liang narrowed his eyes again: "And are you planning to involve Fang Yasi in this matter?"
"Haha, Shen Yidao, you are really shrewd. If it had been you, I might not have been able to do this. But as for Sun Dutou, he is young and energetic, so he will definitely suffer a loss this time. That Fang Yasi is Liao Tongzhi's confidant, and he and It's hard to say what will happen if you do something wrong." As he spoke, Lu Fang smiled proudly.
The relationships in a yamen are complicated and complicated, and it is not something that a newcomer like Sun Tu can figure out. Although Lu Fang knew that it was impossible for him to defeat Sun Dutou in a head-on due to his status, he had many ways to use his strength to deal with him by relying on the strength of other officials in Kaifeng Mansion.
As long as he can lose Sun Tu's face this time, his prestige will be wiped out and he will become a laughing stock in the yamen. In this way, he will be able to replace it in a few days.
After Shen Liang wanted to understand this, he just sighed softly: "I hope your plan will not be self-defeating. Do you really think Sun Dutou will be so easy to deal with?"
"Whether it is yes or no, we will know soon." Lu Fang said with a disapproving smile.
