Wave after wave of cheers came from outside, making all the officials in the hall feel more and more nervous and panicked. Especially when they saw Sun Tuzheng slowly reading through the memorial of Gao Xiang accusing him of treason, it made them feel even more nervous. A disaster is imminent, because it still has the signatures of Qingzhou officials like them.
After reading the bullet in hand that Qingzhou officials jointly accused him of intending to rebel and self-reliance, Sun Tu not only did not get angry, but instead put on a smile: "I didn't expect that you have become so familiar with Sun in just half a year after arriving in Qingzhou. You are really my soulmate."
The more lightly he spoke, the more frightened everyone felt. Finally, one person couldn't bear it any longer, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sun Dujian, please spare your life, I... I had no choice but to write that memorial." If you don’t sign, not only will it be difficult for you to be a low-ranking official in Qingzhou, but you will even be accused of being an accomplice!”
Under such circumstances, as long as one person collapses, it will be difficult for the remaining ones to hold on. Suddenly everyone cried out that they were wronged, saying frankly that they were forced by Gao Xiang and He Mo and did not really want to embarrass Sun Tu. Sun Tu just watched them quietly as they pushed the blame away, without any intention of interrupting. It wasn't until they finished talking that they asked, "I can't understand this official. Although Gao Xiang is the local prefect, you and the others are also officials of the imperial court. Are you so afraid of him?"
A mere prefect did not have such great energy and ability. Sun Tu had already seen that there must be someone behind Gao Xiang, so he told them so much just to find out the identity of the person behind Gao Xiang.
Gao Xiang had calmed down by this time. When Sun Tu ordered He Mo to be beheaded without any scruples, he had already guessed his own ending. Since you are bound to die, why bother begging for mercy from the other party? Seeing that all the subordinates around him who had been respectful to him before turned their backs, he showed a sarcastic look on his face: "You don't have to waste so much effort to distance yourself. Don't you understand how cruel Sun Yama's methods are?" ?"
With just one sentence, the other people's excuses were silenced, and then he looked back at Sun Tu without flinching: "Don't you want to know who asked me to accuse you of treason? This is not a secret. My surname is Gao…”
When Sun Tu heard what he said, he suddenly understood and his eyes narrowed: "Who is Gao Qiu to you?"
"Lieutenant Gao is my uncle!"
The answer has been revealed. No wonder they were able to quickly come to Qingzhou to take up their posts when something happened to them but their life or death was uncertain. This should be the arrangement made by Gao Qiu. And the reason why he continued to pursue him even after he thought he was dead was because his target was not himself, the "dead man", but Tong Guan, who was behind him!
Although he didn't really understand the ins and outs of the matter, Sun Tu quickly came up with his own speculation. I'm afraid that this time Tong Guan miscalculated and was tricked. Because of his disappearance and the fact that his trip to Liao had no merit, it caused a dispute between the two countries and made his situation extremely difficult. Therefore, when Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng joined forces to force him to give up everything in Qingzhou, he Will give in.
This is actually a very common practice of retreat and compromise in official circles. But Tong Guan did not expect that Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng did not give up because of this. Instead, after sending people to Qingzhou, they tried to use Sun Tulai to pin more deadly charges on Tong Guan!
In the final analysis, this matter is still Tong Guan's strategy to protect himself.
There was a slight mistake. If Sun Tu hadn't suddenly returned and caught them off guard, Tong Guan would have been in great trouble before long.
Sun Tu, who wanted to understand the reason, suddenly felt something in his heart, and he already had a vague plan and idea for what he would do next. Of course, the first thing he has to deal with now is the enemies in front of him, and he cannot be merciful to his enemies.
Now that the answer he wants to know has been revealed, he has no intention of talking nonsense with these people anymore. He just waved his hand and said: "Tie them all up and take them to the prison for custody. Tomorrow, I will let the people in the city redress their grievances." We want to see how many evil things you have done in our Qingzhou!"
Under the pushing and pushing of the soldiers, seven or eight officials from Gao Xiang on down could only obediently walk out of the hall door and walked towards the prison next to the government office. Who would have thought that an hour ago they were the masters of Qingzhou City, and an hour later they were all prisoners awaiting punishment.
Sun Tu also went to the prison together this time, but not to escort these guys, they were not worth his trouble at all, but to pick out some brothers who were in jail.
At this time, the government prison had also been occupied by the Qingzhou Army. Sun Tu easily entered it and saw several men who were tightly chained to the cell walls in the dark depths of the cell. They were Wu Song and Lu. Da and Tang Feng were the brothers who were most loyal to him.
When several people saw Sun Tu suddenly appearing in front of them, they were also surprised. After a while, Luda took the lead and laughed loudly: "Erlang, what did I say... Sanlang will definitely return safely and rescue us from here. Can you trust me this time?" Although he still had numerous scars on his body, his skin was torn and there was blood everywhere, he was smiling broadly at this time.
Wu Song, who was in the cell next to him, also laughed: "I, Wu Erlang, have never admired many people in my life, but Sun Dujian really makes me admire him from the bottom of my heart. I didn't expect that the Liao Kingdom was so chaotic that day, and you could actually be safe." Come back without incident!"
Sun Tu also smiled and stepped forward: "If I tell what I did next, I think you will admire me even more, second brother. But those earth-shattering things cannot be said here. How can they be outside? We can talk slowly after you and I sit together in a big bowl and drink. Come on, let’s go home right now, and kill those dog officials in two days to make these brothers vent their anger!"
Without too many polite words, without saying anything pretentious about being implicated by him, Sun Tu just used a few simple words to reveal everything that had happened before. The most valuable thing about friendship between a true man and a true hero is a sincere heart.
These words made Wu Song and the others laugh again, and then they walked out of the cell with the help of the soldiers. Although they said it casually, when they got outside, Sun Tu discovered that their injuries were really serious. Both Wu Song and Lu Da needed help to move around. As for Tang Feng, who was much weaker, he could no longer stand still. All the strength is gone.
The reason why he didn't speak just now was because he was weak. It wasn't until he came to Sun Tu that he said softly: "Captain, you are humble and incompetent. I failed to help you defend Qingzhou..." He said with a look of self-blame and shame.
Seeing this, Sun Tu hurriedly patted him on the shoulder: "I can't blame you. It's great that you can do this. Don't think about it anymore. What you have to do now is to take good care of your injuries. In the future,
I want you to help me with many important things. "
Sun Tu still attaches great importance to this trusted brother who has been with him since he was in Bianjing. Although Tang Feng was not as good as others in terms of talent and martial arts, in terms of loyalty, he was clearly above them all.
As for Huang Wenbing, who was the last to come out, the situation was even worse. He also had many scars on his body, and he had obviously suffered a lot. But as he was older and had never practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, he could no longer hold on and fainted to death in prison. If Sun Tu hadn't come back in time to rescue him, he would have died in prison.
At the same time that the four of them were released, Gao Xiang and others were taken into the cell. After seeing these guys who had shown off their power before became so embarrassed, Ruda laughed loudly again: "Earlier Sajia told you that sooner or later you will have the same result, and now it has come true!" Seeing these guys being imprisoned, he felt that the wounds on his body were not so painful.
When several people were taken out of the prison, the time had passed the first update. Sun Tu did not deal with other matters, but said hello and took the people home. It was time to go home.
Go home... these two simple words are the thoughts that have been lingering in Sun Tu's mind since the incident in Liao Kingdom. Until today when he entered the city, he had thought about going home as soon as possible. Because home is the place where he can truly relax. He has experienced too much in this year and is cautious every moment. Even though he is an iron man, he is already exhausted.
Especially because there is still the most important person waiting for him at home - Ya'er! That person whom he had met so many times in his dreams and who made him feel so distressed, is he okay in the city now
Ever since he learned about the incident in Qingzhou, Sun Tu deliberately did not inquire about his family's situation, nor did he ask anyone else about Ya'er's situation. He was really afraid that something would happen to Ya'er. But judging from the fact that no one said anything bad to him, Ya'er who stayed at home should be safe, right
With an anxious mood, Sun Tu finally returned to his home.
Everything here looked almost unchanged from when he left more than a year ago, but when Sun Tu stepped forward to knock the door knocker, his hand trembled involuntarily, and he actually felt a little hesitant. In the Liao Kingdom and Xixia, when he fought with many enemies with his life, death, and wits, Sun Tu never felt a trace of fear. But at this moment, when he was about to open the door of his house, Sun Tu Tu actually felt a little scared.
Being timid near home, perhaps this is the best portrayal of Sun Tu's heart at this time.
Just when Sun Tu hesitated to take the picture, the door suddenly opened automatically, and then there was a scream: "Which of you dare to come here to disturb me? Don't you know that Sun Dujian has come back..." The last word "?" It turned into an exclamation, surprised and delighted: "You're back!"
Sun Tu was a little surprised to see the tall and heroic girl in front of him. It was Hu Rong who was guarding his door like a tigress. And in the yard behind her, the person he missed day and night was standing there cutely, looking at him with tears in his eyes and a slight trembling in his delicate body.
"Ya'er... Sanniang... I, I'm back." Sun Tu said with a smile after hesitating for a moment.
Then there was only a "wow" sound, and Hu Rong, who looked fierce just now, rushed forward and fell into Sun Tu's arms: "You... are finally back!"
