It's late at night, and the city of Tokyo has returned to silence. However, in the second hall of the Kaifeng Fu Yamen, many officers were still standing with their hands tied, with no intention of leaving. Especially when the scolding came from the Fu Yin government hall, it made them stay silent and did not even dare to breathe. Take a bite.
Everyone knows that Han Fuyin has always been kind-hearted. Even if the people below him occasionally make mistakes, they will not be punished too severely, let alone getting angry in public. But today, when Sun Dutou returned from escorting many prisoners, he made Fuyin Leiting furious. Even now, he was still blaming the case and scolding him. At this time, the people outside naturally did not dare to hit the gun and ask for it. No fun anymore.
Han Changzhou did have reason to be so furious, because Sun Tu made the matter too big this time, and it all happened suddenly without his knowledge. He thought that the words Sun Tu said in front of Mr. Yu last time, which forced the Fen Yanzi case to continue to be investigated, were the most daring behavior of the other side. Only now did he realize that Sun Tu was really brave enough to The sky was covered, he dug a big hole in the whole sky this time!
It was said that since he agreed to let Sun Tu continue to investigate the Pink Yanzi case, but only gave him dozens of subordinates, Han Changzhou thought that he would not be able to cause any trouble, and maybe he could take the opportunity to save Sun Tu from being punished. The first position. But in just ten days, a small ninth-grade military attaché had turned the city of Tokyo upside down, and he almost fainted after hearing this.
"Sun Tu, you are so courageous! You had people blockade the gates of Tokyo, and you searched the whole city to capture the so-called Pink Swallow thieves. Finally, you even did things like open the gates to release floods. Do you know where this place is? ? This is Bianliang, Tokyo, under the Emperor’s royal chariot. Many eyes are staring at us. I’m afraid tomorrow morning, just the imperial censor’s memorial to impeach me in Kaifeng Mansion will drown my entire Yamen!" The good-tempered Han Changzhou banged his hands on the table, his face distorted. Every time he mentioned something that his subordinate had done in the city, his heart would twitch violently. He could think of himself as the target of public criticism. In the end, he was demoted from the capital and even dismissed from his official position.
This is not unfounded. Sun Tu made such a big noise in Tokyo, and officials in the DPRK and China would naturally take the opportunity to impeach him. Naturally, he, a small ninth-grade military attaché and Dutou, cannot bear such a big responsibility. In the end, all the responsibilities will naturally fall on Han Changzhou, the Prime Minister of Zhengyin, and he will take the blame.
Han Changzhou was so hateful. If he hadn't worried about Sun Tu having Tong Guan as his backer, he would have directly ordered him to be taken down and tortured to get rid of the bad anger in his heart.
Faced with the raging anger of his immediate boss, Sun Tu seemed quite calm. During his continuous rebuke, he did not make any excuses. He just listened with his head down until the other party finished speaking, breathing heavily and staring. He raised his hand and said, "Yin, can you please allow me to say a few words?"
"Tell me. I want to hear what other excuses you can come up with to justify your story. The whole city of Tokyo has been disturbed by you and is in panic. Let alone you and me, even the ministers in the court cannot bear this crime." Han Changzhou He finally calmed down a little, but his face was still gloomy and his tone was solemn.
Sun Tu took a step forward: "The reason why I am doing this is not out of selfish motives, but for the sake of the stability of Tokyo City and to eliminate harm for the imperial court."
This statement immediately provoked Han Changzhou's retort: "Such statements will not be recognized by officials in the DPRK and China at all. What kind of threat can a pink swallow pose to my city in Tokyo? At most, it is abducting some women and children. As long as the government pays more attention, Naturally, they don’t dare to act haphazardly anymore.”
This is exactly the government's view of Fenyanzi. Even if the people suffer because of it, it is just a trivial matter in their eyes. In comparison, what Sun Tu did today was something that everyone could not bear, because he disrupted the order of Tokyo City and violated the rights of many officials.
Sun Tu took a deep breath, forced down the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then continued: "It's not just the official's alarmist talk, but there is a big secret behind these pink swallows. Originally, the official thought they were just looking for petty profits. He is just a thief, but with in-depth investigation, the official discovered that there is a big conspiracy behind Fen Yanzi, and an unscrupulous organization plotting to cause unrest in our city of Tokyo has gradually taken shape."
These words finally made Han Fuyin's face become serious: "What did you say? Are you serious? Don't talk nonsense in front of me and try to use some big case to cover up your mistakes."
"I don't dare. If I hadn't found out some clues, I would never have dared to go to war like this." Sun Tu said, taking out a file he had compiled earlier from his sleeve and holding it up with both hands: "Also Please take a look at this record first."
Han Changzhou reached out to take it and casually glanced at the contents above, only to find that there were more than twenty names and their places of origin listed on it. Although these people have different names, ages, etc., they have the same place of origin in Jiangnan and Zhejiang!
Seeing him frowning, Sun Tu explained: "Fu Yin Mingjian, the names listed above are all key figures in the pink swallows captured by the lower officials. What is shocking is that these people are all From a corner of the south of the Yangtze River."
"So what? What they did was against the king's law, so they must have kept it secret and found people who share the same mind with them. And finding people from the same hometown to do things together is naturally the most normal choice." Although Han Changzhou said this, But his brows were deeply knitted, and it was obvious that he was aware of some problems.
Sun Tu nodded: "If that's all, it wouldn't be a problem. But according to Xiaguan's final investigation, it was found that they are all inextricably linked to Prince Qian's Mansion. Moreover, during the investigation process, Xiaguan also found He bought a carriage with the mark of Prince Qian’s Palace! All these are enough for the official to determine that the culprit who secretly organized these Jiangnan people to stir up trouble and harm the people in my city of Tokyo is Prince Qian’s Palace!”
After these words were spoken, Han Changzhou was shocked completely. The original anger had completely dissipated, replaced by strong fear and uneasiness: "Sun... Sun Tu, don't talk nonsense about this matter. The stakes are very high. If what you accuse is untrue, I can kill your three clans if I sit down!" He was not trying to scare Sun Tu, because this charge is close to treason. If there is no real evidence, I will kill you instead! The blame fell entirely on Sun Tu.
And more importantly, the identity of the person he told was too special. Prince Qian's Mansion was a long-established dignitary in the court. Although his status was not too high, he was the key to the Song Dynasty's ability to conquer the four vassals and gather people's hearts. It was not something that ordinary officials dared to provoke.
Among the hundreds of surnames written in the Song Dynasty, the first four characters are Zhao Qiansun.
Li, this Zhao naturally refers to the surname of today's official family, and the second-ranked character "Qian" certainly cannot refer to copper coins, but a Qian surname from the royal family from Jiangnan.
In the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with the efforts of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong and later Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the Song Dynasty had the ambition to wipe out the Central Plains. At that time, the Qian family of Wuyue King, who was in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, was the first to voluntarily surrender. s country. At first, Qian, the then King of Wuyue, only professed his vassalage to the Song Dynasty, but soon afterwards, he led his court officials to Tokyo and took the initiative to become a prisoner of the Song Dynasty to show his attitude.
Zhao Kuangyin greatly appreciated his approach, and then gave him a large number of rewards, granted him a royal title, and elevated his status to second only to the royal family. Even after Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, after Qian's death, he still took great care of the Qian family and raised them in Tokyo with generous gifts. Even now, hundreds of years later, they are still one of the most wealthy families in Beijing.
And now, Sun Tu directly accused such a wealthy family with a century-old heritage of instigating Pink Yanzi to do evil in Tokyo city, and even scheming against evil intentions. This was naturally enough to make Han Changzhou feel panic and he didn't know how to react. .
But Sun Tu still looked calm, and just bowed and said: "Fu Yin Mingjian, everything the official said is true. Although the clues currently available are not enough, as long as the imperial court is willing to continue to investigate, the truth will be revealed. Dig it out. Also, from the mouths of the newly captured Pink Swallow thieves, we will definitely be able to find out more clues related to Prince Qian's Mansion. If we report it to the court then, we will definitely be able to convince the world. "
"You mean carriage? How did you find Prince Qian's carriage?" After a long time, Han Changzhou finally calmed down a little and thought of a key point and asked.
"Because they wanted to do harm to Xiaguan's family, but they were captured because I was prepared. After taking them down, Xiaguan seized a black carriage and found a mark from Prince Qian's palace in it. "Sun Tu no longer held back and immediately told all the causes and consequences.
Last night, when he accompanied Ya'er in the carriage back to the police station, he unexpectedly found a small mark in the corner of the car, which was the mark of Prince Qian's house. It was only then that everything suddenly became clear, allowing Sun Tu to unravel all the mysteries, and finally let him decide on today's seemingly reckless strategy, but in fact it was able to completely eradicate Pink Swallow in one fell swoop.
If he was just targeting Fen Yanzi, a Jianghu gang, Sun Tu would naturally not dare to make such a big move, causing chaos in the entire city of Tokyo. But now, when the matter is related to some people with rebellious intentions, no matter how radical he is, it is not wrong.
After saying this, Sun Tu handed over another rubbing: "Please ask the governor to check. This matter is not trivial. I would never dare to arrange it at will." This was his last trump card, which allowed him to do nothing. The key to arresting people without worry!
Looking at this mark that really only belonged to Prince Qian's Mansion, Han Changzhou shuddered violently. This time the matter was more serious than he thought. But at the same time, he also tasted the profound meaning. Maybe this was really an opportunity to turn his mistakes into achievements.
But now, none of this can be decided by him as the governor of Kaifeng. Everything can only be decided in court tomorrow. And at that time, will he really have the chance to say this
