After sending Yu Xianggong respectfully away, several important officials of Kaifeng Mansion returned to the second hall, gathered together in Fu Yin's palace, and asked people to call Sun Tu over.
Facing the piercing gazes of his four immediate superiors, Fu Yin, Tuiguan, Tongpan, and Tongzhi, Sun Tu stood with his hands lowered, but there was no trace of fear on his face, and he even had a trace of fear on his face. A faint smile.
Even though all of these officials were well-established, they could no longer hide the anger in their hearts. All the big things had been reduced to trivial matters, and there was no need to worry about Fen Yanzi's case anymore. However, the subordinate in front of him had messed up all the plans of himself and others. Now he really put them on the back of a tiger. It’s not easy to think about it.
Finally, Xue Yuanpeng was the first to be unable to bear it. He banged the coffee table and shouted, "Sun Tu, do you know your guilt?" He was Sun Tu's direct supervisor, so he was naturally the most responsible for anything that happened to him.
Sun Tu cupped his fists and said, "Please forgive me for being so stupid. I really don't know what my fault is!"
"You...you actually dare to talk nonsense in front of Mr. Yu, making my Kaifeng government office passive, and still say that you are not guilty?" Xue Yuanpeng stared at him hatefully, and really wanted to have him taken down immediately. Punishment.
"The lower official is just reporting some facts to Mr. Yu. This is my duty as the head of the capital. Even if the families of ordinary victims come here, I should also explain some specific circumstances." Sun Tu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. It's so reasonable and well-founded that people can't find anything wrong at all.
But his reaction was even more annoying. What made Xue Yuanpeng feel helpless was that he really had no power to punish him or fire him at this time. Because Sun Tu was a ninth-grade official, even if he was a low-ranking military attache, they could not easily touch him, not to mention that there was a great god like Tong Guan behind him.
This was the most troublesome thing for everyone present, because Sun Tu's status as a subordinate was too special. He was said to be a subordinate, but he was hardly under their control. And regarding Fen Yanzi, they may be able to use the Changxingfang arson case to contain Tong Guan, but this does not mean that they can punish the people he uses regardless of his face. Then they will inevitably usher in a strong counterattack from Tong Taiwei. But these people can't stop it.
"Sun Tu, it seems that you are determined to investigate the Pink Yanzi case to the end?" Han Changzhou finally spoke and asked slowly, his voice was much softer than Xue Yuanpeng's.
"Xiaoguan said that he just wanted to do his part for the people of Tokyo and the Song Dynasty court." Sun Tu responded with his fists clasped again, speaking with righteousness and sternness.
"Okay, then I will give you this opportunity and give you full authority to investigate the case..." Just when Han Changzhou said this, Liao Tongzhi's face suddenly changed, and he said eagerly: "Fu Yin, this..."
But Han Fuyin stopped the other party's words with his eyes, and continued to look at Sun Tudao: "But I can only give you half a month. If no one is caught by then, you will be used to pay for the crime. Also, the government office will also take the person's hand. I won’t come out too much, I can only have fifty people with you, and I’ll figure out the rest by myself.”
This condition is indeed a bit harsh. A secret force that has been doing evil in Tokyo for decades and even Bao Gong could not completely eradicate it actually only gave Sun Tu fifty people and had a deadline of half a month to complete it. This is different from Diao
There is no difference at all.
But Sun Tu had no room to retreat. He immediately clasped his fists again and said loudly: "I will do my best to find these thieves and set the record straight!" After saying that, he bowed his hands to several superior officials as a courtesy. , then exited the hall.
It wasn't until after he left that Liao Tongzhi said uneasily: "Fu Yin, how can you just agree to let him continue the investigation? This matter..."
Han Changzhou did not let him express his concerns, but snorted: "Do we have any other choice now? There must be an explanation from Mr. Yu, right? And he also deliberately mentioned the official family and Grand Master Cai, if If you don’t even give him this little face, there will no longer be a place for you and me in this city of Tokyo.”
The other people's expressions changed slightly after hearing this, and they sighed unconsciously. Yes, Yu Shen may not be too scary, but if even Grand Master Cai knew about this and deliberately intervened, it would be an easy task for the few people present to be left alone. You must know that Yu Xianggong is a person who has a lot of followers around Grand Master Cai, and is a powerful assistant in the political hall. He still has this face.
Seeing that several of his subordinates had no objections, Han Changzhou added: "And when the matter has reached this point, we must find someone to scapegoat to appease the anger of Mr. Yu and that one. Since Sun Tu jumped out on his own, of course he was chosen. . Half a month, fifty people, there is no way he can find Pink Swallow who has been hiding in a low-key manner."
Several people nodded in agreement, and then felt relieved. As long as things don't change again, it will be fine. As for how Sun Tu will be dealt with in half a month, this is the result they most want to see.
￥￥￥￥￥
"Du Tou..." Seeing Sun Tu coming back from Fu Yin, several subordinates gathered around with concerned eyes. After experiencing these things together, Sun Tu still established a lot of prestige in the hearts of Shen Liang and other officers. They were really impressed by this young man and their heads were turned upside down.
Sun Tu smiled at them: "Put your hearts in your stomach, I am still the head of this office. Also, we can continue to pursue Fen Yanzi's case. This is an order personally given by Han Fuyin."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all praised: "Du Tou is really good at what he does, this time we will definitely catch all these thieves!" In order to handle this case during this period, everyone worked day and night. But it's quite hard work, and of course I don't want to give up halfway.
Only Shen Liang still had doubts in his heart, always feeling that there was something more to the matter, otherwise Fu Yin and the others would not have been able to change their minds so quickly. What worries him even more is that, at least for now, the clues they have are almost disconnected from Pink Yanzi, so they may not be able to continue the investigation.
At this time, Sun Tu waved his hands to them and said: "You have worked hard during this period. Please go home and rest for a day. When we come back tomorrow, we will continue to investigate."
The subordinates didn't think too much, they all agreed and quickly dispersed, except Shen Liang who stayed. Sun Tu smiled at him: "I know what you have seen. I can tell you that I have hated all my superiors, and I only have half a month to pursue the case. If there is no result by then, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve as an official." Go down."
Shen Liang was suddenly moved: "Du Tou, why do you have to..."
"There are some things that a man always needs to do when he is alive.
insistent. Sun Tu said with a resolute face: "This pink swallow is a sore growing in my city of Tokyo. If it is not dug out, more tragedies will only happen." Since I am on duty in Kaifeng Mansion, I should do something for the people. "
"Du Tou... You really put your humble position to shame." Shen Liang said, solemnly bent down and bowed his hands: "Please accept my humble position and bow."
"Okay, don't use these tricks. The most important thing now is to seize the time to find more clues." Sun Tu smiled and helped him up. Then he said seriously: "You said before that the captured thieves couldn't ask anything from their mouths. Is this still the case?"
"Everyone has been taken to the prison. Cui Luoshang and others are still interrogating them one by one, but the situation is indeed not optimistic." Shen Liang also quickly adjusted his mentality and replied: "These people who were taken are the least popular among the pink swallows." An inconspicuous person knows nothing about confidential matters, and even if he is tortured, he will not be able to find out anything."
"It seems that Pink Swallow has been preparing to protect himself early in the morning, so he came here to cut off the gecko's tail. If we hadn't chosen to attack last night, I'm afraid we might not even be able to catch these people." Sun Tu also frowned. He frowned and said, "But this is a bit strange. Why did they cut off everything in such a timely manner?"
"What Du Tou means is... someone is tipping them off?" Shen Liang quickly understood and shuddered when he said this. If this is true, the matter will be implicated in the Yamen.
"That's right! And the only people who know that we are about to take action are the people in our Kaifeng Mansion, so the next thing we have to do is to get out of here. Fortunately, this time Han Fuyin has given full power to the case in my hands. , I have the right to take people to the Chengdong Public Security Bureau to handle errands."
Shen Liang nodded: "It is true that there are many people here in the Yamen, but it is much quieter when you get to the police station." Then he said with some worry: "It's just that even if the news can be prevented from leaking, we still have no further clues. …”
"It seems that those who were taken here are hopeless. Fortunately, there is still one person from whom we can ask for the inside story." Sun Tu said, turning around and walking towards the prison.
Shen Liang only pondered for a moment before he understood: "Does Dutou refer to Jin Yi? But according to his own confession, in fact, he has never joined Fenyanzi, and it doesn't look like a lie. If he is really an important figure among them, the other party I won’t even think about killing him to silence him.”
"It's true that he is not a member of Pink Swallows, nor is he an important person, but he must know something important about Pink Swallows, otherwise why would they bother trying to kill him and silence him?" Sun Tu had his own understanding, He said as he walked.
Shen Liang immediately understood: "What Dutou said is that there should be some inside stories about this person. It's strange to say, how could he, a down-and-out scholar, be so valued by the people of Pink Swallow? They even didn't hesitate to help him kidnap him. He robbed the young lady from Mr. Yu’s house…”
"Well, you have to ask him himself to know the answer."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the prison in Kaifeng Mansion. After revealing their identities, they quickly passed through two thick doors, and then followed the narrow passage into the dark and damp depths of the prison.
