It was almost dusk when Sun Tu came out of Tong's Mansion, but he did not go home. Instead, he came to a nearby Xiuwenfang house that had been abandoned for many years.
Because the court was constantly changing and officials came and went from time to time, the houses in Bianjing City naturally became idle. This house was abandoned because the previous owner was demoted from Beijing and could not be sold for a while. Now the courtyard is overgrown with weeds and looks a bit gloomy.
Sun Tu saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he climbed over the courtyard wall that was as high as a person and entered. He followed the quiet path and came directly to a relatively complete house. After pushing the door and entering, he saw There were two people inside, one was sitting on the ground and the other was guarding beside him. The person sitting on the ground was clearly Zhang Jian, the shopkeeper of Niulou Hotel.
Seeing Sun Tu come in, Zhang Jian immediately struggled to get up and said: "Sun Tu, you dare to ask people to kidnap me. Aren't you afraid of Wang Fa!" But his movements were quickly stopped by the man next to him. , and pushed him to the ground again. It turned out that he had a rope tied to him, so he was basically under the control of the other party.
Sun Tu walked up to Zhang Jian calmly, knelt down and looked at him for a moment before saying, "Wang Fa? When you planned to deal with me, Liu Fang Ju, did you ever think about Wang Fa? You really thought that I, Sun Tu, was so easy to bully." Of?"
"What did you say? I have never done such a thing. What evidence do you have..." Zhang Jian immediately denied it, but was interrupted by Sun Tu: "Just save it, this is not a place where..." In court, I don’t need to bring any evidence at all, as long as you and I know it well, it’s enough.”
These words left Zhang Jian, who still wanted to argue, speechless. Yes, the other party didn't need to provide any evidence to prove it, which made him even more nervous: "You... what on earth do you want to do to me..."
"Well, it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate." Sun Tu played with a short stick in his hand and said with a half-smile: "In order to frame us, you must have put a lot of effort before, right? But I am also easy to talk to. Even if he is my enemy, I will give him a chance to make amends. As long as you can do something for me, I can forget about the past."
"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Jian said dejectedly, someone really accepted his fate this time.
Sun Tu immediately came closer, lowered his voice and said what he wanted to know. As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Jian, but also the man guarding him had a look of surprise on his face. The former even shook his head like a rattle after being stunned: "I don't know anything about what you said. , please don’t accuse my young master unjustly, there will never be such a thing!”
"Really? It seems you still don't understand your current situation." Sun Tu sneered.
Feeling the killing intent from Sun Tu, Zhang Jian struggled again and said: "Sun Tu, don't forget, I am also well-known in Bianjing City. If anything happens to me, no matter whether the Zhang family or the government They will definitely not give up."
"I know, but can they find out the truth of the matter? As far as I know, no less than two hundred people disappear inexplicably every year in Bianjing City, and Kaifeng Mansion can only find out the whereabouts of twenty or thirty of them at most. What's more, no one except you yourself knows that you have enmity with me, Liufangju. How will the government investigate if the government has no clue? Do you think your master will make the previous conspiracy public for the sake of a domestic slave? "
Sun Tu's words really made Zhang Jian more and more nervous, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart, and he said forcefully: "The Zhang family is not kind to me, and I, Zhang Jian, will never betray the young master!"
"It seems that you are really a good dog who loyally protects your master. If I don't give you a taste of your strength, you won't cooperate at all." Sun Tu shook his head, and then pointed the short stick in his hand on the other person's shoulder, and then Then he pressed the button below.
Zhang Jian, who was about to express his loyalty more sternly, suddenly turned into a whimper, and he started to tremble. His whole face showed a look of fear and pain, and finally the trembling turned into a whimper. He convulsed and fell completely limp to the ground.
The man who was watching all this also showed a look of horror and disbelief. He really didn't expect that this small stick would have such an effect, making a person who was tough one moment become so embarrassed in an instant. Is this some kind of ghost technique
Sun Tu didn't use the electricity on the opponent for too long, which only made Zhang Jian suffer. He released the switch and stared at the opponent. After he finally recovered a little, he said: "My patience is very limited, and It's not all up to you to make things happen. If you continue to refuse to cooperate, not only you, but also your family, I can find a way to get it. When the time comes..." He said, smiling again.
At this time, Zhang Jian was really afraid of him. After a struggle, especially when the electric baton in Sun Tu's hand was on him again, he shouted like a conditioned reflex: "I said, you I'll tell you whatever you want to know, as long as you don't attack me again, as long as you don't attack my family... "
It wasn't until he heard the answer he wanted that Sun Tufang showed a satisfied smile. The man next to him had a look of fear on his face. His master's brother looked very kind before, but he didn't expect that he would actually be much more ruthless than a lowly street guy like himself.
After Sun Tu asked Zhang Jian everything he wanted to know, he patted the man on the shoulder: "Brother, senior high school student, you have to work hard these two days to watch people here. When things are done, I will definitely Thank you very much."
"Sun... Mr. Sun, I have something to say. I wonder if I can work with you in the future?" After hesitating for a moment, the senior high school student suddenly asked.
Sun Tu smiled knowingly when he heard this: "If you really think highly of me, Sun Tu, I will naturally be willing to accept it. However, this will have to wait until next year, when I have a serious background, before I can agree to you. Otherwise, you may not have much success if you follow me. Isn’t it promising?”
"I believe that Mr. Sun, you will be able to serve as an official soon." The senior high school student said without hesitation. In return, Sun Tu smiled softly, then opened the door and walked out of the room.
A few days later, it was dusk again. After Sun Tu had dinner with Ya'er, he left home again. He had just received the news that the target had appeared in the casino again, which made him feel that the key step in this game should be carried out.
The Song Dynasty was indeed one of the few open and prosperous dynasties in history. Even though it was already dark at this time, there was no curfew in Tokyo. There was an endless stream of pedestrians walking on the street, which was not much different from during the day, especially in the city. Approaching the Sangjia Wazi area, you can see many men and women entering and exiting this gold-selling cave.
Different from the daytime, there are no entertainment items such as storytelling and acrobatics in Sangjia Wazi at night, but the business of some Goulan and gambling halls is much better than during the day. You can hear the people inside from a distance. Shouts and laughter.
Sun Tu's destination this time was one of the gambling dens called Jixiang Gambling House. This gambling den has a huge facade, twice the size of ordinary gambling dens. There are also big money and ingot signs hanging outside, which makes people look at it. You know what kind of business is going on inside.
When Sun Tu came to the door, a man squatting there immediately came up to him and whispered: "I went in early and haven't come out yet."
Sun Tu nodded lightly and patted this man on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Thank you, Brother Fifteen. Let's go in now." This man guarding the door of the casino is also one of Lu Zhishen's apprentices, named Tang Shi. five.
In fact, he originally had a pretty good family background, but because of his small gambling, he eventually lost all his family property and became a shabby household. However, he also learned gambling skills from this, and Sun Tu used him this time precisely because he valued his skills.
Walking into the casino, the noise was several times louder than outside. Not only were people shouting, sighing and cheering from the winners, but there was also the clattering sound of the dice shaking and colliding in the cups. These sounds mix together, which inexplicably makes people feel excited.
Here, no matter what your identity is, there is only one name for you: gambler. All gamblers, no matter how high or low they are outside, are paying attention to the dice cup in Baoguan's hand, waiting for the result when he opens the lid. One of them, a young man with a delicate appearance and well-dressed clothes, was like the others, shouting constantly, urging the treasure official to uncover his cup.
After seeing this person, Sun Tu had a smile on his face like a hunter seeing his prey: "Zhang Dingjun!"
