As the door of the flower hall suddenly opened, the events outside were completely revealed. Hundreds of soldiers had surrounded the flower hall, and the servants and retinues guarding outside were all taken down. It was still gagged and could only make a weak whine. Without the knowledge of everyone in the hall, the entire government office has been turned upside down, and control has fallen into the hands of others.
In fact, Sun Tu had arrived in front of the flower hall earlier and could have broken down the door immediately and entered. But at that time, he heard the words of Gao Xiang and the others trying to persuade Lin Chong and the others to betray him, which made him temporarily change his mind and wanted to know whether the two of them could persevere in such a situation.
As a result, Sun Tu was still very satisfied. Even if they were coerced and lured, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi had no intention of seeking fame and wealth by falsely accusing themselves of treason. Although Qi Desheng seemed a little hesitant, after all, his relationship with Sun Tu was not that deep. He was just an ordinary superior and subordinate. Sun Tu was deeply satisfied to be able to do this. It was only then that he kicked open the hall door and entered.
After seeing someone breaking into the door, everyone in the hall was stunned and then shocked. Some were surprised, while others were shocked and angry. Lin Chong and Yang Zhi recognized Sun Tu at a glance, and they immediately said happily: "Captain, you are finally back! We knew you would be fine!"
This call made the angry expressions on the faces of Gao Xiang and others suddenly stiffen, and immediately turned into panic: "You... you are Sun Tu..." In panic, several people stood up subconsciously, no longer as confident as before. and arrogance.
In the shadow of a famous tree, Sun Tu's reputation in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was not very good. Everyone knew that he once killed hundreds of officials below the Qingzhou magistrate and their families in a fit of rage. Now he looked murderous. Appearing, this had a huge impact on the officials who were plotting to convict him of treason, and even gave them a feeling of guilty conscience.
After a while, He Mo, as a military general, became more courageous, and quickly calmed down and shouted: "Sun Tu, what do you want to do? This is the imperial government office, and you dare to lead troops to rush in. Are you planning to rebel?" Following his scolding, everyone else came to their senses for a moment, and Gao Xiang also stared at Sun Tu with squinted eyes: "Superintendent Sun, it is certainly a blessing to me that you can come back safely, but now Qingzhou Superintendent has long been replaced. Supervisor He, you are so brave to overstep your bounds and bring soldiers and horses into my government office!"
Sun Tu looked at these guys who were trying to show off their official power with a half-smile, but he was not even interested in arguing with them. In his eyes, they were already meat on the chopping block, so why bother bothering them? He immediately waved his hand: "Capture everyone, but anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers who followed him in were already eager to try. After hearing this, they immediately pounced on him fiercely. Although Gao Xiang and other civil servants once again shouted threatening words such as "How dare you", they were no match for these soldiers. In just a moment, they were all captured. However, He Mo had some skills. When he saw someone coming towards him, he quickly lifted the table and retreated, running towards the window on the other side.
But how could he avoid being surrounded by soldiers with this little skill? After a moment, with two whining sounds, several sticks were severely slapped on his legs, leaving him in an extremely embarrassed posture. He fell to the ground like a green onion.
But even so, congratulations
Mo was still struggling with all his strength, and shouted loudly: "Sun Tu, and you, you are so brave! Do you know how big a crime the following is? You are treason, this is rebellion , if you follow traitors like Sun Tu and act recklessly, your whole family will be wiped out!"
The reason why He Mo had such a violent reaction was because he knew very well how disastrous his fate would be if he fell into the hands of Sun Tu. He knew that he had done many dirty things in the army, which caused heavy casualties to the Qingzhou Army. If Sun Tu had him in his hands, his fate would be inevitable. So until this time, he was still struggling, hoping to get a chance of survival.
It's a pity that all his actions were in vain, and how could the surrounding soldiers be moved by his words. Not to mention that all the soldiers had already hated him deeply because of what they had experienced in the past six months. Even if there was no such thing, just based on Sun Tu's prestige in the Qingzhou army, no one would dare to disobey the military order.
Seeing that this guy was so presumptuous at this time, Sun Tu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He walked up to him in two steps, raised his hand and slapped him hard on the cheek, making him groan miserably, and continued to threaten him. The scolding words finally stopped: "Shut up! Today I am taking you and waiting to clean up the traitors of our Qingzhou soldiers and civilians! Look at the good deeds you have done in our Qingzhou, how many soldiers died because of you, how many people died because of you You have suffered unjustly! But what about you, apart from enjoying yourself here and setting up a trap for my grandson, what else will you do
"This Qingzhou is my Sun Tu's territory. You just want to seize the high position, but you have ruined my army like this and made my people suffer so much. Now that I, Sun Tu, have come back, I must let you You’ll have to pay the heaviest price!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed again. Even Lin Chong and others showed expressions of shock and panic.
The meaning of Sun Tu's words is very clear. Qingzhou is his territory and not owned by the court, so these court officials are trying to seize his private property by doing whatever they want here! There is no need for anyone to explain what this means.
Gao Xiang and He Mo, who had originally accused Sun Tu of rebelling and treason, also lost their voices in horror at this moment. Everyone has made their rebelliousness obvious. If you use this to threaten others, it will be a joke.
This is similar to a statement mentioned by later generations, asking why the United States invaded countries like Afghanistan and Syria? That's because the United States suspects that these countries have hidden nuclear weapons. So why didn’t the United States use the same excuse to invade North Korea? That's because North Korea really has nuclear weapons!
It's the same now. Charges like treason can only frighten those officials who have no remorse, and will make them feel panic. But what about Sun Tu? At least the few words he just said showed his disdain for the imperial court. In this way, no matter whether he is guilty or not, he will not be frightened.
When Sun Tu saw that they finally stopped talking, he sneered again: "He Mo, you, a idiot with no military knowledge, dare to come to our Qingzhou and claim to be a prisoner of everything? Today, I will seek justice for those brothers who died. ! Come here, drag him out, chop off his head at the gate of the government office, and then hang his head at the gate of the military camp to pay homage to my brothers who were killed by them!"
"Sun Tu... Sun Dujian, spare your life. I know my mistake. I don't dare to do it anymore. Don't kill me..."
..." This time, He Mo completely collapsed. He thought that Sun Tu would not be so eager to attack him. At least he would have to wait until he found out what happened and then report to the court before he dealt with him. This made him He still had a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that maybe someone could save his life. But he didn't expect that Sun Tu would be so straightforward in his work. When he arrived, he would have him stabbed without saying a word.
Gao Xiang and others were also shocked by Sun Tu's decision. After a while, he said anxiously: "Sun Tu, why do you kill him? Now the Qingzhou Governor is already He Mo, you have no official position or position. …”
"Who said I don't have an official position?" Sun Tu immediately interrupted him and sneered: "Yes, the court did replace him as the Qingzhou Governor because I have been absent for a long time. But I But I still have the official position of the Military and Horse Supervisor of Jingdong Road, so it is natural for me to kill him according to military law. Who dares to say that I killed him wrongly?"
These words once again made Gao Xiang speechless. Everyone, including the court, actually ignored this and failed to take back this official position after Sun Tu's accident. This was because the Military and Horse Supervisor was not a permanent official, and the imperial court had no intention of finding another successor after Sun Tu. Since he had died in the Liao Kingdom in everyone's eyes, this official position naturally ceased to exist.
But who would have thought that Sun Tu would actually come back and fight directly back to Qingzhou. With his status as the Superintendent, he would be able to justifiably kill He Mo, a subordinate general who had been defeated many times.
As everyone's last doubts dissipated, the sergeants without any further hesitation dragged He Mo out, who had already collapsed to the ground in fear. Regardless of his struggles for mercy, he was quickly brought to the gate of the government office. outside.
At this time, because of the sudden appearance of Sun Tu and others, many people came to the Yamen area with hope and anxiety to investigate the situation. Everyone was shocked when they saw a sergeant dragging someone out. But as a soldier loudly conveyed Sun Tu's intention and pointed out that He Mo, the governor of Qingzhou, was going to be executed by the Military Law Office, the common people burst into cheers after a moment of silence.
Hearing the cheers erupting from the people, He Mo, who had been pushed to the ground and was about to be killed, was even more expressionless and trembling. It was only then that he realized how much he was hated by others, and it was his retribution that he ended up like this.
Without further delay, with a loud shout, the sharp sword flashed and struck into the back of He Mo's neck. With a pop, Dou Da's head fell to the ground and rolled away again.
Seeing this familiar scene, the people were finally convinced that Sun Dujian was really back!
At the time of boarding, cheers louder than before rang out, and then spread far away, seeming to sweep the entire Qingzhou City...
The army is in hand, the people are at home, and a group of officials are in their hands... Sun Tucai had just returned to Qingzhou for only half a day, and he had already taken the ownership of this city into his own hands again!
Hundreds of years later, after Napoleon of France was defeated and exiled, it only took him more than a month to fight his way back to Paris from the island where he was exiled, and took back everything he owned with almost no effort.
And today, Sun Tu was just like him. After entering the city, he reconquered the city almost without a fight. So it is not an exaggeration for him to say that Qingzhou is his territory!
