Just one day later, Tokyo's official circles had already caused quite a stir, and this was all because Sun Tu overturned the table with one move, revealing the dirty truth under the table, and everyone was immediately in danger.
Even though he only mentioned the food problem of his own Huben Army in Kaifeng Mansion, if we really need to dig deeper into this matter, it would involve the entire Forbidden Army, and then the people involved would be the Palace Department, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and even the Privy Council. It's important to go to the Yamen.
Naturally, the Kaifeng Mansion does not want to make enemies because of this kind of thing. However, Sun Tu has made the matter public, so it is not something they are willing to do. To prove their innocence, they can only bite the bullet and Everything was reported truthfully, which quickly shocked the officialdom. Even Cai Jing was aware of such a thing.
At this point, there is actually still a way to reduce the serious matter. As long as Gao Qiu, in the name of the prefect of the palace, comes forward to suppress the further expansion of the situation and declares that Sun Tu killed Yan Ziliang because of the embezzlement of money and food, and then strictly controls Yan Ziliang. After the family's property is confiscated, it can be used to replenish the Tiger Army and cover up the problem. But this time, Gao Qiu ignored it, as if he had no idea what was going on, and allowed the situation to continue to ferment, making the rumors true, and even the Yushitai began to have people come forward to impeach him. , which also means that things can no longer be covered up.
Some of Gao Qiu's subordinates in the front department could not accept this. After another day of waiting, they finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to see Captain Gao at night and asked him for help.
Gao Qiu met them casually, but after facing their inquiries and round-the-clock requests for help, he smiled: "Don't worry, this is just a trivial matter, even if it is found out that you have taken some benefits. , just say that you didn’t know the truth at the time, I still have the ability to protect you and others.”
With Captain Gao's assurance, everyone finally felt a little more relieved. But they were still worried and said: "Lieutenant, this matter will be very detrimental to the court after all. If other forbidden troops also take this as an opportunity to cause trouble, the problem will be huge."
Yes, if it were just a problem with the Huben Army, there would naturally be no problem if this corruption was spread among hundreds of officials from different yamen. The Song Dynasty has long been greedy and greedy. If even the emperor doesn't care about such things, who will pursue them? But once the situation expands to the entire Forbidden Army, it will be in danger of shaking the country. At that time, the storm will be too big for little shrimps like them to bear.
In response, Gao Qiu smiled contemptuously: "Making trouble? How dare they? Only the Tigers and the Ben Army dared to jump out and take money and food. Among the other armies, which general can be clean? If the problem is raised, they will It will only make you die faster. Moreover, even if we, the civil servants, make mistakes, we will have our stewards to protect us, but they, as military generals, do not have such good things. They know very well in their hearts and do not dare to act recklessly. "
After everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense and finally felt completely relieved. Indeed, the Song Dynasty favored scholar-bureaucrats, but treated military generals harshly. For the same merit, civilian officials were promoted much faster than military generals, but for the same crime, military generals were punished several times as much as civilian officials. No matter how big a mistake he makes, the most he can do to a civil servant is to be demoted. He may not be able to return to the court at any time without fear of his life. However, if he is a military general, there are not many military generals who have been killed because of trivial matters.
"so you
We just keep our hearts in our stomachs, even if there are some storms, it will not hurt us at all. On the other hand, Sun Tu, if he does everything right, he will only attract countless enemies, and he will suffer a lot in the future. After sending these people away, Gao Qiu showed a sarcastic look on his face: "Sun Tu, Sun Tu, I didn't expect you to hit the knife edge yourself." I am worried about how to deal with you. You have offended all the officials in the dynasty. As soon as this matter is over, you will be impeached. "
This is the reason why Gao Qiu has been standing still after the incident. He just wanted to let Sun Tu do everything right and become the target of public criticism, and then use the power of the officials in the court to completely discredit him and bring him down.
His proud mood did not last long. At noon the next day, Gao Qiu, who was still in the front office of the palace, received a slightly strange news - the Huben Army suddenly sent people to sell all the shops and properties under the Yan family's name. They were surrounded, and it seemed that things were heading in a direction that was more difficult to control.
"What is he going to do? Even if it is related to the corruption of military rations, we cannot allow him, the Tiger Army, to take them personally!" Gao Qiu became increasingly uneasy and looked a little ugly: "Let the Kaifeng Mansion send people to arrest them. Take it down for me, if you dare to resist, you will have an excuse!"
"When I returned to the Taiwei, the Kaifeng Mansion did send someone to stop him immediately, but the Yuehou who led the team pushed him back. He said it was because the Yan family had the intention of fleeing in the past two days and wanted to He destroyed some relevant evidence and took people there immediately." The detective's information was quite complete and he immediately replied.
"The Yan family wants to escape Tokyo?" Gao Qiu frowned slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter was reasonable. When things have reached this point, it is impossible for the Yan family to seek justice for Yan Ziliang. Once Yan Ziliang is really found guilty of embezzling military pay, his family will be completely finished. Or perhaps, this was the instruction of someone who had previously persuaded them to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue Sun Tu. However, they did not expect that Sun Tu had made corresponding preparations early in the morning and did not give them any chance to escape from the capital. He even Taking this as an excuse, he directly started to interfere in the Yan family's affairs.
After a moment of uncertainty on his face, Gao Qiucai said, "Go and call Meng Qi." That day he asked Meng Qi to facilitate the Yan family's lawsuit against Sun Tu.
A moment later, Meng Qi came over with a nervous look on his face. It was obvious that he already knew what was going on. After seeing Gao Qiu's expression, he became even more frightened, and whispered: "The villain knows his crime. The villain was anxious for a while and was afraid of being found out, so he asked someone to encourage them to leave Tokyo."
"Hmph, you are so brave, you actually made your own decisions. I have already warned you that Sun Tu is unusual and you must be careful when doing things. Did you turn a deaf ear to these words?" Gao Qiu said angrily. After staring at him for a long time, he asked again: "Did you handle this matter yourself, or did you entrust it to others?"
"Don't worry, Lieutenant. I would never dare to come forward on this small matter myself. I also asked a personal attendant to persuade them as a friend of Yan Zihao."
That's not completely hopeless. Gao Qiu's face softened a little and he said hummingly: "Then don't delay, let that person leave Tokyo quickly, and don't come back in the short term. Hum, we can handle this little thing." not good."
"Yes, yes, let him go now." Seeing that Gao Qiu did not continue to pursue his intentions, he asked Meng Qi to wait for a moment.
He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly agreed, and then hurried out to deal with the aftermath. But he never noticed that Gao Qiu from behind looked at him with murderous intent. This person must not be kept any longer and must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Although he had cut off the end of his hand, Gao Qiu still felt a little uneasy. After some thinking, he finally called a subordinate: "Zhang He, you go to Yan's shop right now. At least... Suppress Sun Tu and prevent him from messing around, especially the money and grain property of the Yan family, let alone fall into his hands." He suddenly remembered that once Sun Tu really used an excuse to take back the money and grain belonging to the Huben Army and seize the Yan family's property If so, then the biggest problem of his Hu Ben Army would be solved immediately, which Gao Qiu could not accept no matter what.
Although Zhang He was only a Yuhou in the front office of the palace, but because Gao Qiu reused his authority, he naturally would not take Sun Tu too seriously. He immediately accepted the order with clasped fists: "I obey, I will do it now." Take someone there."
Only then did Gao Qiu breathe a sigh of relief. With officials from the Kaifeng Mansion and the Palace Department present, Sun Tu did not dare to do anything clever and plundering, otherwise he would only get involved. And maybe this matter will attract the attention of other yamen. Then things will become more and more complicated, and it will be beyond the ability of Sun Tuyijie Wufu to handle it.
But after exhaling this breath, he still felt a little uneasy for some reason, always feeling that the situation would change again. This is not because he has any sixth sense or other mysterious things, but because of his understanding of Sun Tu. This guy can often do things unexpectedly and make the biggest noise.
At this moment, Sun Tuzheng, whom he was thinking about, was sitting expressionlessly in a slightly small accounting room, holding a seemingly complicated account book in his hand and looking at it carefully.
After he revealed everything in the Kaifeng Mansion Court, he had already made a series of preparations for the next step, which included sending his personal guards to keep an eye on the Yan family's properties, and after discovering that they Move quickly when you have the intention of escaping, and surround them first.
The fact that Kaifeng Mansion sent people to quickly appear to stop his further actions was indeed a bit unexpected, but it didn't really make him lose control. Although the Yan family's property could not be moved for the time being, he himself could still come in and out at will.
At this time, Sun Tu was in a grain store owned by the Yan family, looking through the grain account books they had brought in and out over the past few years. In front of him were several grain store shopkeepers with uneasy faces, and several The officials of Kaifeng Mansion looked at him with disdain, thinking that he was just showing off - how could a martial artist who only knew how to dance with a spear and a stick understand the ledger in his hand
Not to mention him, even ordinary scholars would have a headache if they get these things.
However, things are sometimes so unexpected. After looking through it for a while, Sun Tu's lips suddenly turned up: "Shopkeeper Xin, there is something wrong with these accounts..." He actually understands it
