Sun Tu always felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although he had already changed the letter without leaving any loopholes, and Huang Wenbing, who had done bad things before, was specially called to the military camp to talk to him, no matter how he looked at it, this stratagem of concealing the truth would be successful. But after Dai Zong left, he became more and more uneasy, and even felt a little absent-minded when reviewing the military drills.
Huang Wenbing vaguely noticed something was wrong, so he found an opportunity to ask Sun Tulai privately. Sun Tulai trusted him at this time, so he told him in a low voice what he had done to save Song Jiang in the past two days. After hearing this, Huang Wenbing was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long time, he sighed: "Tuanlian, you are taking too much risk. If once the eunuch sees something strange and suspects you, I'm afraid..." He didn't dare to say the next words. .
"I also know that what I did before was a little too emotional, but the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it." Sun Tu also sighed. He also did a series of things to rescue Song Jiang based on his admiration for the heroes of Liangshan.
After Huang Wenbing thought about it for a while, he gave his own idea: "It may be possible to have two strategies. One is to ask Tuan Lian to plead guilty to the prefect before the matter has been exposed. In this way, as long as the government plans to lay a trap, you can Catch all those gangsters in Liangshan, and the group training will naturally be punished and meritorious service."
After hearing this, Sun Tu only thought about it briefly and shook his head: "To do this is to leave my life and death in the hands of Cai Taishou, and in this way, I will be completely separated from the people in Liangshan, and even many people in the world who admire Song Jiang." The person will forge a deep hatred and hatred, and the consequences will be endless. This method is definitely not feasible."
"Then the only way to take the risk is to divert disaster to the east." Huang Wenbing had already guessed that Sun Tu's character would not accept the former strategy, so he focused on the latter strategy: "It's just that this method has certain troubles and The risk requires help from someone." As he spoke, he explained this method in detail.
Sun Tu listened carefully and thought: "This method may be really feasible, but it requires an opportunity..."
At this moment, three or four people dressed as state officials hurriedly arrived in front of the camp. They were just about to enter the camp gate to see Sun Tu, but they were blocked by several soldiers guarding there with swords and guns. Today's Xiangbing military camp is very different from a few months ago. Not to mention such state government officials, even if Cai Jiu came in person, he would not be able to enter the camp without Sun Tu's permission. Seeing this battle, the few people naturally did not dare to break through, so they could only reveal their identities and said that the prefect had invited Sun Tu back to the city to discuss important matters.
When the news came, Sun Tu's expression changed slightly: "At this time, the prefect suddenly summoned me, I'm afraid things have really changed. Wen Bing, take this thing and go see a guest named Huarong at the Ping'an Inn in the city. , and then ask him to help implement the strategy you and I have made, and we must get it done within an hour or two." After saying that, he glanced at the sun that had turned westward, and after taking a deep breath, Then he went out with a smile.
Seeing Sun Tu suddenly leaving in a hurry with several people from the state government, and then Huang Wenbing also left, this made the soldiers in the camp suspicious, especially Lu Da and Yang Zhi, who knew the inside story, and felt even more uneasy. But due to their status limitations, if they don’t have access to
When Sun Tu gives the order, he can only stay here and wait for news.
￥￥￥￥￥
"Sun Tu, the lower official, came to see the prefect. I wonder if the prefect suddenly summoned me to the city in a hurry. What important orders do you have?" By the time Sun Tu saw Cai Jiu, it was already dusk. There were several candles in the hall, and the candlelight was swaying, illuminating Cai Jiu. The face is hard to distinguish between light and dark, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Cai Jiu's eyes were also very cold. After staring at Sun Tu for a moment, he snorted: "Sun Tuanlian, you are really brave. The loss officer has always trusted you, but I didn't expect you to dare to hide this from me. Officials colluded with thieves and bandits. Do you really think that the Song Dynasty has no royal power?" As he spoke, he was so angry that he slapped the table with a bang.
This sound was obviously a code that had been agreed upon early in the morning. With the sound, dozens of soldiers suddenly poured out of the hall. Each of them wielded a sword and a crossbow, and aimed their arrows at Sun Tu. As long as he made any change, they would He would shoot this seventh-grade imperial regiment trainer on the spot.
However, Sun Tu was not stupid enough to resist in such a situation. He just raised his hands in confusion and allowed the officers and soldiers who rushed in to take off his sword and even tied him with a rope. He didn't struggle even after being tied up, but said in his mouth: "Prefect, what are you doing? I really don't understand..."
"Why, do you still want to deceive me at this time?" Cai Jiu felt a little relieved when he saw that he didn't resist, and then said: "Bring everyone here!"
After a while, several people entered the hall one after another, some walked in by themselves, and some were dragged in. The one who walked in was Yuan Wang with a sneer on his face, and the ones dragged in and carried in were Dai Zong and Song Jiang. At this time, the latter two were already scarred and dying, and seemed to have no strength to even move.
"Sun Tu, you colluded with Liangshan thieves to design a fake letter from Grand Master Cai to deceive me, just to rescue Song Jiang, the traitor who dared to write an anti-poetry openly in our Jiangzhou City. Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else do you have? What are you talking about?" Cai Jiu asked with an angry face.
Sun Tu's face was full of fear and grievance, and he shouted urgently: "Prefect, I am wronged. I have never done anything like this. Someone must be trying to frame me to let them bite me like this." ..." As he said that, his eyes turned to Yuan Wang.
Yuan Wang had been waiting for this moment, and immediately sneered: "Sun Tu, at this time you still want to deny it? The prefect had just interrogated the two traitors Dai Zong and Song Jiang, and they both admitted that they have a close relationship with you, and that they are After Song Jiang was imprisoned, you were the one who worked hard to plan the rescue strategy. Do you think that all this can't be found out?" As he spoke, he kicked Dai Zong next to him again: "You, if you don't recruit from the truth, you can't be called... Sun Tu can no longer deny it..."
Dai Zong raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Sun Tu with a hint of guilt. He really didn't want to confess, but he couldn't bear the torture. At this time, he could only say in a weak voice: "No... not bad, All of this was done by Sun Tu in cooperation with us. We just want to save Song Jiang... "
"Tell me, what is your plan?" Cai Jiuye asked with a gloomy face.
"Just... just forged a letter written by Master Cai to ask the government to send Song Jiang to Tokyo, and then let Liang Shanbo
The people set up an ambush and robbed the prisoners halfway along the road..."
"Sun Tuanlian, you are really a good strategist. You actually thought of such a good way to save people with one hand. I have to admire your brains. However, no matter how clever you are, you can't escape my eyes. Dai Zong has exposed too many flaws, and as long as he checks and asks, there will be nothing to hide." Yuan Wang stared at Sun Tu proudly, and laughed evilly: "What else do you have to say now?"
Sun Tu's evaluation of Liangshan heroes has dropped a lot again. I originally thought that they were all true heroes who could ignore life and death for the sake of brotherly loyalty, but now it seems that Song Jiang and Dai Zong are actually no different from ordinary people. As long as their lives are threatened or they are tortured, they will I will reveal everything, regardless of whether it will hurt other friends.
However, his mood was calm. At this time, he just sneered at Yuan Wang: "There is no need to blame others. Yuan Zhoutui, you are deliberately trying to get rid of me to vent your hatred. You are really going to any lengths." ." With that, he suddenly turned to Cai Jiu and said: "Prefect, this is all Yuan Wang's conspiracy to frame me. If the official's prediction is correct, he was the one who suggested everything, and Dai Zong was also tortured by him. Tortured?"
"You..." Yuan Wang was about to say something, but Cai Jiu interrupted him: "So what?"
"Prefect Mingjian, there has always been a saying that submission is a result of torture. How many innocent people confessed to crimes they did not commit because they could not bear torture to extract confessions... If you look at these scars on Dai Zong's body, aren't they enough to explain the problem? ?”
"This is a cunning denial! Although I used torture on him, the purpose was to get him to confess his crimes, not to frame him against you! What's more, as far as I know, he had been out of the city a few days ago. I went to see you, and then someone saw Dai Zong in your camp, how do you explain this?" Seeing a slightly suspicious look on Cai Jiu's face, Yuan Wang became a little anxious and asked another question quickly.
As soon as Sun Tu heard this, he knew that the other party had spent a lot of effort to deal with him, and he became more and more cautious while secretly hating him: "Yes, Dai Zong did come to see Xia Guan when he went there, but as a prisoner in the prison camp, Shouldn't the two court officials, who left the city under the order of the prefect, come to see me, their superior, to report a little? As for the latter, it is all nonsense. No outsider has ever entered the lower official camp. If the prefect does not believe it, he can go Inquire in the camp!" Sun Tu is still confident about this. Today's rural soldiers' camp is already monolithic. Everyone follows his lead. Who dares to leak the news!
Seeing Cai Jiu's move, Sun Tu continued: "And you said that I colluded with them. What's my motive? Just because Song Jiang and I are from the same hometown, so I will risk everything to save him? I am an official of the imperial court, whether it is Cai Taishou or Tong Taishou. Lieutenant, even the emperor has great trust in me, how could I ruin my future by joining these thieves? Obviously before this, I had just killed a group of thieves for Jiangzhou City... "
Speaking of this, Sun Tu's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Yuan Wang: "I understand, I'm afraid it's you, Yuan Wangcai, who is really colluding with them, right? And your purpose for doing this is not really to help them get out of trouble, but to In order to put the blame on me, Sun Tu, and eradicate me. But for you, convicting me is just a means. The drunkard’s intention is not to drink, your real target should be Prefect Cai!"
