Following this shout, a group of more than ten people quickly pushed aside the onlookers and rushed over. The face of an official who should have been quite elegant was now covered with sweat, and the official hat on his head was tilted. He didn't care about Zheng Yi Zheng, he just rushed to stop the fight.
Sun Tu's stick suddenly stopped two or three inches away from the opponent's chest. After all, it was not implemented. Because he heard a bit of the majesty of an official from this call to stop, and guessed the identity of the person coming, he stopped first, and then turned his eyes slightly and glanced behind him: "What does this official have to say? "
"I am the young minister of Honglu Temple, Jiang Xudong. These people are envoys from the Liao Kingdom. You must not hurt them." After hurriedly saying this key sentence, he looked at Sun Tu again: "You are from Kaifeng Mansion. people?"
"Sun Tu, the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture, has met Jiang Shaoqing." Sun Tulue turned around, bent down and punched the opponent: "But these Liao people made trouble in the east of our city and injured several people. It is the duty of the lower official. , they must be brought to justice.”
Jiang Xudong's eyebrows twitched when he heard Sun Tu's name. He had already heard that this man was so independent that even the Duke of Wei dared to challenge him. Can he, an official of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, really suppress him? But even though he hesitated in his heart, he still said: "I would like to ask Sun Du to hold his head high and take them back to me, and then let their envoys deal with them. What do you think?" This is why Sun Tu has a good reputation. Apart from the others, he had already directly ordered the officers of Kaifeng Mansion to hand them over.
"Sun Dutou, we can't let them go, otherwise we will have a hard time redressing our grievances!" Suddenly someone from the people nearby shouted loudly: "They injured my father, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. We must not Let them just go.”
One person spoke up, which immediately attracted the support of more people: "Yes, Sun Dutou, you have already established a rule in the east of our city not to hurt people. These Liao people not only injured people, but even resisted arrest with knives. Even the police officers from the Public Security Bureau have been injured, so we can’t let them run away!”
The people of Tokyo were already hostile to the Liao people, and now they saw them hurting others in public, so they naturally became excited. Naturally, they would not have the guts to ask them to help arrest people, but now that Sun Tu is here, everyone is still willing to say a few words and let him make decisions for the people.
Just doing this, Sun Tu was provoked, and Cui Lueshang and other subordinates were also embarrassed for him. Although the young minister of Honglu Temple has a low position, he is much stronger than Sun Tu, a ninth-grade military attaché. What's more, there is the entire Rites Yamen behind them. If there is a conflict with them, their own family will suffer a lot.
But if the three people were just handed over to Honglu Temple, I'm afraid the three Liao people who committed the crime would go unpunished. Moreover, in this way, the prestige that Sun Tu had finally established in the city would be compromised. If he wanted to take someone away from him in the future, they would use this matter to prevaricate him, which was not a pleasant feeling.
"Sun Dutou, these Liao people are all members of the mission. If there is a mistake, it is not something you can afford alone. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your subordinates." Jiang Xudong spoke again, The tone was much more serious than before.
Just when Sun Tu felt a little embarrassed and was weighing the pros and cons, the brothers in front of him suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful!" At the same time, he suddenly felt a sharp wind blowing behind his head, and he was unexpectedly encountered.
A sneak attack.
It turned out that the Liao man standing at the end saw the situation was deadlocked and discovered that he was far from Sun Tu's opponent. He finally got worried and suddenly launched a sneak attack. Taking advantage of Sun Tu's opportunity to turn around and focus on everyone in Honglu Temple, he stepped forward and struck the back of his neck with a knife.
He was confident that this sword was so fast that the opponent would be unable to dodge it, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. As long as he kills this guy who dares to fight with himself and others, others will definitely feel fear, and then they can leave safely.
But the moment the steel knife came close, Sun Tu's neck suddenly tilted to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, the stick he originally carried in his hand was picked up with a whistling sound. Like a young man, he used the tail of the stick to hit the opponent's lower body hard, until the opponent let out a shrill scream, and his whole body suddenly bowed like a shrimp, with tears and mucus flowing out.
However, Sun Tu's shoulder was still sliced by him, and a large piece of skin and flesh spattered out with blood. Some of it even fell on Jiang Xudong and others, causing them to scream and retreat. Two of the attachés even stepped directly under their feet. He softened and fell to the ground. These people from Honglu Temple had never seen such a violent scene before, and they were quite frightened.
At this time, Sun Tu's movements had not yet stopped. When a stick hit the person and knocked him to the ground, he quickly turned around, kicked out his feet in succession, and kicked the person who had fallen to the ground without any mercy. He kicked the guy who was constantly twitching and knocked him out. After rolling on the ground for a while, he fell down, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
At this time, Cui Lueshang and his men couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rushed forward, using the sticks in their hands to completely suppress the three Liao people, preventing them from getting up again. Just now they were unable to help Dutou because of their timidity and hesitation and their lack of reaction, but after such changes, they could no longer stand by and watch.
Sun Tu's face also turned livid, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry. He immediately shouted loudly: "Come here, take them all back to the police station. If they resist again, we will kill them without mercy!"
"Yes!" These subordinates immediately agreed and quickly tied up the three Liao people who had lost the ability to resist. These orders and reactions immediately won unanimous applause from the people around him, and everyone felt proud and proud.
It wasn't until the cheers started that Jiang Xudong came back to his senses from the panic. As soon as he saw the Liao people being kidnapped, he immediately became anxious: "Sun Dutou, you have to consider the consequences... These are envoys from the Liao Kingdom..."
"In my eyes, these Liao people are all criminal thieves. They not only hurt others and resisted arrest, but also wanted to assassinate me, an official of the imperial court. Therefore, in order to protect the peace of Tokyo, I must take them to trial! If If there is anything unclear about Jiang Shaoqing, you can report it to the court. But today this is my official responsibility, and I will never hand this person over to you!" This time, Sun Tu's attitude had become quite firm, and he would not give the other party any help at all. Without any room for bargaining, he waved his hand after saying: "Take the three criminals back!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed and dragged the three Liao people out of the crowd. When the people saw this, they subconsciously moved to both sides to make way for them. Many people looked at Sun Tu and
The eyes of these officers were full of reverence, and even some of the attendants around Jiang Xudong also respected him.
It wasn't until they watched Sun Tu and the others escorting the people away that the few officers from Honglu Temple who had not dared to step forward to stop him looked at Jiang Xudong uneasily: "Shaoqing, what should we do next?"
Jiang Xudong's face was filled with uncertainty, and after a while he sighed: "Let's go, I will go to the court to apologize. As for Sun Tu, he got into trouble this time, and those Liao people will definitely not let it go. "
Among the people watching, several big men had complicated expressions. After a while, someone sighed: "This time I have convinced Sun Yanluo. Whether it is someone from the government or the most difficult person like Pink Swallow." "
"Gang leader, brothers all think that Sun Yanluo is a good man, very different from other yamen eagle dogs."
"Yeah, it's really a waste for such a good man to be in the officialdom. Let's go." As he spoke, these people from the Bamboo Gang dispersed as quickly as other common people.
At this time, the people from Kaifeng Prefecture who had already walked out of Dongshi looked at Sun Tu with some concern, who still had an injury on his shoulder: "Your injury is not serious, Dutou. You have to go to the medical center to get bandaged and given medicine."
Sun Tu grinned, shook his head and said: "Time is running out, it's too late to go to the medical clinic. We will go back to the police station to review the case. You two go find someone who understands Khitan and a doctor to treat my injuries. If I don’t hurry up, this stabbing I received will be in vain.”
Only he himself knew that the reason why he couldn't dodge and ended up having his shoulder skin chopped off with a knife was entirely a temporary choice he made. Otherwise, with Sun Tu's current martial arts skills, the Liao people's sneak attacks from behind would not be able to get away with him at all.
The situation just now has become a dilemma, and even Sun Tu doesn't know what choice to make. But the Liao man's sudden sword attack allowed him to temporarily dodge a plan to break the situation. If he was deliberately hit by the sword, he could take the initiative. Even if the court wanted to pursue the case later, he would have sufficient reasons to prevaricate it.
In addition, from the conflicts that occurred today, Sun Tu also clearly felt the reality that the Liao people were now weak. As a minority that advocates force, the Khitans should be used to confronting people head-on and disdain sneak attacks. But today, these three people launched sneak attacks one after another. This is completely a sign of lack of confidence in their own force.
From this small incident, it can be seen that the Liao Kingdom today is different from the past, and it is not much stronger than the Song Dynasty, which was originally prosperous in culture and weak in military affairs.
When Sun Tu took the Liao people back to the police station, Shen Liang and others who had returned from the hospital were a little surprised. But after knowing that their own heads were also injured by the Liao people, they became excited again and wished they could Then take action and teach these guys a lesson.
Fortunately, Sun Tu made his move at the right time: "The top priority is to get the matter cleared up. There will be plenty of opportunities after you want to get angry." This saved these Liao people from a new round of physical pain.
But soon, Sun Tu had people escort them to the front of the hall, and he, who had just been bandaged, personally interrogated the three guys who had recovered their consciousness: "Tell me, why are you making trouble in Dongshi, but do you have any other intentions? ?”
