Sun Tu had always had some objections to the procrastinating efficiency of officialdom in the Song Dynasty. In the past, whether it was the promotion and change of official positions, the allocation of food and salary in the army, or some other official affairs, even if it was an urgent matter, the court would delay its implementation for a long time due to various reasons. It is common for there to be no accurate information in March or February.
At that time, Sun Tu even complained that the procrastination style of the Song Dynasty being destroyed by the Jin people was also an important reason. I really don't know what the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were busy with on weekdays. But this time, he was somewhat fortunate that the imperial court was suffering from procrastination. At least when it came to investigating his culpability, their attitude was the same and they had no intention of hastening the matter.
Especially after the Laba Festival, all the government offices in the court entered the stage of herding sheep. Even the number of memorials to impeach Sun Tu plummeted, and there was no further conclusion in the palace. It seemed that everything had to be prepared for the upcoming New Year. Jie Yidao, no matter how important things are, we have to wait until the New Year is over.
This made Sun Tu relax more and more. With no work to do, he could not only accompany his wife and children at home, but also take them around the city to appreciate the bustling scene of Tokyo during the New Year. This made Hutou very happy. He could play with his parents every day, which was much more interesting than staying at home where he had already visited. He could often be seen giggling in the crowd. laugh.
This made Ya'er and Hu Rong, who were still a little worried about Sun Tu's current situation, feel relieved. Although he had said before that everything was under control and no one could do anything to them, the second daughter still felt a little uneasy when she saw that Sun Tu was deprived of his duties and could only stay at home. But now that he is so relaxed and can often take himself and his son out to play, the two women naturally believe his words completely.
In fact, the people in Tokyo have been like Sun Tu recently. They took advantage of the weather before it snowed to go out with their families, wander around, or buy various items for the New Year, making the entire bustling city The city of Tokyo has added a lot of fireworks. And all of this is really due to Sun Tu and the others.
Because if Sun Tu hadn't attacked with a heavy blow and wiped out all the bandits in Wuyou Cave, there would have been a lot of chaos in Tokyo today. Not to mention the thieves who take advantage of the crowds of people, there are also cunning kidnappers who will take advantage of the crowds of people to abduct a lone woman or child.
In the past, in order to prevent this kind of situation from happening frequently, Kaifeng Prefecture and other security agencies had to send special personnel to maintain safety, and ordinary people did not dare to take women and children out often. But now, the public security in Bianjing has been very good. The bandit campaign has almost wiped out these troubles. Even if there are fish that slip through the net occasionally, they will not dare to show their faces and do evil again. The safety of the people will naturally be at stake. Guaranteed.
As a result, everywhere in Tokyo became more and more lively, and many young ladies and young wives who used to hide at home took the opportunity to go out, which naturally became a beautiful scenery in the city. Especially the Dongyue Temple area, which has always been responsible for the safety of the family, is a good place for these women to hang out, and even attracts many dandies to come here to see what is going on.
Of course, these people are just there to join in the fun, and take advantage of the crowds of people to get in touch with each other, and at most earn some verbal money.
It's so cheap, no one really dares to commit such acts as raping a girl in public. Sometimes when you meet a more powerful woman, you might be chased and scolded and run away in embarrassment.
But today, right in front of the Dongyue Temple, a scene happened that everyone was unexpected but unable to do anything about—
As noon approached, there were far fewer people offering incense in Dongyue Temple, but there were still a few sincere believers waiting to offer a stick of incense in front of the statue in order to seek peace at home. But at this moment, a scream came from the distance: "Hurry up, that Huahua Taisui is here to harm people again!"
This cry immediately frightened many people around them and changed their expressions. Some people turned away in panic, while others sighed repeatedly: "Why is this guy back again? I haven't seen him in the past two years." You come again to molest and seize a good girl, why are you here again today?"
Someone who didn't know the inside story asked the people around him about the origin of Huahua Taisui. When he found out that he was actually the yamen of Gao Qiu's family, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything and evaded to the side. . This kind of people are not something that a commoner like me can afford to offend.
They don't know that the reason why Gao Duo has not gone out to harm women from good families in the past two years is because he is too busy. After becoming the patrons of the people in Wuyou Cave, every one or two months, they would give him the newly kidnapped women. Those are also good families, they suit his taste the most, and they don’t have to worry about going outside, so naturally they are the best.
Although Gao Duo was indeed a lecherous devil, he could only have one person after all. He was already satisfied with having women to enjoy so frequently, so why bother going outside to cause trouble again? It wasn't until Sun Tu destroyed the entire Wuyou Cave this time and grounded him at home for more than a month that the evil thoughts in Gao Duo's heart were aroused again. Today I took advantage of the opportunity to come out and cause harm to people.
He really has no scruples now. With his current status, which yamen person in the capital would stop him without opening his eyes? Even Sun Tu, whom he fears the most, is now unable to protect himself from the Ni Bodhisattva crossing the river, and there is absolutely no way he can come against him. Gao Duo will naturally be able to do whatever he wants without any scruples.
At this time, the crowd outside the temple had dispersed, but the people offering incense inside the temple were still unaware of what was going on outside. A young woman with good looks and graceful figure was kowtowing and praying devoutly in front of the statue. She spoke in detail for a while, then got up and slowly walked out, accompanied by her maid.
As soon as she came out of the temple gate, she found that the originally bustling street had become empty, which surprised her: "This is..."
"Little lady, please get out of here quickly. I heard that Huahua Taisui is coming soon. If he sees you looking so beautiful, I'm afraid he will never let you go." An aunt hurriedly said After reminding the other party, the woman's expression changed even more, and she quickly turned around to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a group of people had already swaggered in, just like street tigers. Whenever they passed by, the surrounding people would subconsciously disperse to both sides and stay away. In this regard, Gao Duo and those around him were not ashamed. Instead, they were complacent and seemed to be becoming more and more arrogant.
Along the way, Gao Duo's eyes soon fell on the woman who had just come out of the temple and was about to stay away after hearing what she said.
On the child. Although there was still some distance, he could still see the attractive figure of this woman at a glance, and immediately shouted loudly: "Little lady in front, please stay. I think you are very kind-hearted. I don't know where you are from." "Shi?" He said and quickly grabbed it.
When the woman heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she moved faster and faster, just wanting to avoid the other party. But how could the prey caught by Gao Yamen escape so easily? Gao Duo immediately pointed his finger: "Stop her!"
Those companions immediately ran up like hungry dogs after seeing the food. How could she, a weak woman, be a match for these strong domestic slaves in terms of speed? She only ran two steps before she was blocked by them. One person even laughed and said: "Where are you going, little lady? I didn't hear you." Is my yamen talking to you?"
"What are you doing? My lady is the daughter-in-law of Xu Yuanwai. Please don't mess around..." The maid was a little brave, and she bravely stepped forward to argue with her loyal protector.
"Executive officer Xu? What is that, can it be compared with our yamen?" These domestic slaves didn't care about their business, they still laughed and blocked their way. During this delay, Gao Yanei had already arrived in large strides. When he saw the woman again, he was even more overjoyed: "This little lady really makes me feel so kind. I think you and I must have had a fate in our previous lives. That's why we can meet again in this Dongyue Temple in this life. In this case, why not let us go into the temple again and reminisce about the past in front of the gods and Buddhas?" He asked the question in his mouth, but he didn't wait for the other party to make a decision. After reacting, he immediately took action, took the woman's delicate hand and dragged her into the temple.
Everyone on the side looked on, feeling indignant, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. Huahua Taisui has always had a bad reputation. In the past, there were people who stood up to protect Huahua, but the results ended miserably. As a result, no one dared to speak up for justice anymore.
The maid was about to step forward to protect her master again, but she was already surrounded by other slaves: "You are so ignorant that you actually want to ruin your young lady's good relationship. I think you are also destined, or else just follow Are you guys having a good time?" As they said that, they stretched out their hands and grabbed a little girl who was powerless, and then they dragged the little lady into the yamen when they saw it. After going to the temple, he also pulled her to go inside.
Although there were still a few pilgrims and temple congratulators in the temple, they were too frightened to speak after seeing Gao Yanei and the others dragging the woman in so arrogantly. Seeing this, Gao Duo became even more aggressive and snorted: "Why, aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stand by and watch me be happy?"
"Everyone, save me..." Miss Xu immediately shouted and begged for mercy. But none of these people dared to help. They all lowered their heads and left quickly and dejectedly, including the temple blessing here.
This alone is enough to show that even after two years, Gao Yanei's power is still there!
And just as they were walking out in a hurry and shame, as soon as they left the temple gate, they bumped into a young man who was tall and straight, with a handsome appearance and an intimidating aura. This made them all stunned: "You are..."
"Oh. I'm here to collect debts. As the saying goes, debts don't last a year." As he spoke, this man kept walking and passed by them and walked into the temple.
