After obtaining approval from Tong Guan, Sun Tu then rushed to the Street Division and the City Gate Division to hand over the warrants of the Privy Council to the relevant officials. Of course, this warrant is not covered by Tong Guan's seal, but by the person in charge below.

But even so, a warrant from the Privy Council alone was enough to make the two Tokyo security yamen obediently obey the order and quickly make corresponding arrangements. And after this busyness, when Sun Tu returned to the security station, it was already around noon, and the environment here was very different.

Early this morning, the people of the public security station were dispatched one after another, according to the map, and arrested all the relevant members of the Pink Swallow in the east and south of the city that had confessed, and in just a few hours, no less than 50 people were brought in. In addition to some of the prisoners who were taken down in the first place, there are now nearly 100 people in the security center, and the number of prisoners exceeds the number of servants.

And as they continued to take people, they also made some chaos in various parts of the capital, which attracted the dissatisfaction of officials such as the imperial historian who patrolled the city, and at this time, two petty officials were questioning in the hall with black faces, saying that they wanted the people from the public security station to give an explanation, which made Shen Liang busy coping, and it was really a little difficult.

It wasn't until he saw Sun Tu come in that Shen Liangfang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Dutou ......" The two officials quickly turned around when they heard this, and looked at Sun Tu who came over arrogantly: "You are Sun Tu, the head of the public security station?" The official was about to ask you, why did you take people arbitrarily for no reason, and if you caused unease to the people of the capital, could you afford it? ”

"Are you two members of the Street Division? Or is it an official under my Kaifeng Prefecture? Sun Tu ignored their tough attitude, and only asked after walking to the top seat and sitting down.

"We are from the Imperial History Tower, and we just heard about this matter, so we ......" One of them immediately revealed his identity and wanted to question again, but was interrupted by Sun Tu's words: "Since you are not an official in the public security yamen, this official has no reason to explain this matter to you." What this official can say is that what our public security office is doing today is precisely for the stability and prosperity of the city of Tokyo, and it is precisely to protect the people from thieves. ”

"Sun Dutou, this official can't see where all this you have done can protect the territory and the people! If everyone is as arbitrary as you, then my Tokyo City will not be messed up! The imperial historian suddenly glared at him and threatened: "Don't you believe that this official will ask the court to refer to you?" ”

"The official only knows how to do things according to the rules, and it doesn't matter whether he participates or not. But if you continue to disturb me, the official will suspect that you and others are colluding with the thieves and trying to disrupt our law. If that's the case, don't blame the official for ordering the take! Sun Tu's attitude was even tougher, and he immediately said with a sinking face.

"You ......" The two officials just wanted to say something more, but then they saw that a few errand officers on the side really had the intention of stepping forward to take people, which made them feel a pang in their hearts. If you are really taken down by these rude servants and locked up with some thief, your reputation will be ruined. At the moment, the two of them didn't dare to entangle, and got up with hatred: "Sun Dutou, we will definitely show the court today's matter, and condemn you to the crime of disturbing the capital and disturbing the people!" ”

"Whether it's sin or merit, it's not up to the two of you to have the final say. Go well and don't send it. Sun Tu waved his hand, as if he was driving people away, and he didn't take these two imperial historians seriously at all.

It wasn't until the two of them left in embarrassment that Shen Liangfang stepped forward and said, "Dutou, isn't it too offensive to do this." These crows of the Imperial Observatory are the most difficult to mess with......"

"It's okay, what we have to do now is to get the errand done well and catch all the thieves. As for the rest, as long as they have made meritorious deeds, are they afraid that they will chew the root of their tongues like women? By the way, how did it turn out today? Sun Tu didn't care, and quickly changed the subject.

As soon as he heard this, Shen Liang frowned: "Dutou, now that we have taken down nearly a hundred people, the houses behind are filled with them, and many people are still complaining about grievances." Isn't it time to interrogate in case something is wrong? ”

"Don't worry, even if some people are innocent, it's not wrong to lock them up for a day or two. As for interrogation, it is even more needless, most of these people are just Pink Swallow's marginal subordinates, and it is impossible to ask for further information from them. That's all I want. ”

"Shall we continue to arrest people then?" Shen Liang still asked with a worried face, even if they were just imprisoned, their burden was not small, not to mention how to deal with them later.

"If my guess is right, I'll soon be out of the way." Sun Tu smiled lightly, "I've forced them into a Jedi, and these people should probably think about repeating their old tricks and going back underground to take refuge." ”

Shen Liang was also an old man in Kaifeng Mansion, and when he heard this, he immediately understood: "Dutou means that they will enter the Sanssouci Cave?" How good is that? "Back then, Kaifeng Mansion made such a big battle and failed to eradicate the thieves who fled into the Sanssouci Cave, and now it is naturally impossible to rely on the security station alone.

Before Sun Tu could say his intentions, Cui Luoshang had already hurriedly ran in from outside. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his face, so he hugged his fists and said: "Dutou, I went to several places in a row just now to get people empty, and there is no news from the city gate, I'm afraid those thieves already know that we are in the whole city of Dasuo and go to hide elsewhere." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two more subordinates ran in with nervous expressions, and as soon as they saw Sun Tu, they hurriedly reported: "Dutou, a few thieves suddenly got out of our hands, and actually jumped under the bridge and entered the culvert, and several of our brothers tried to chase after them, but because they were not familiar with the road, they finally let them escape." And many thieves have escaped into the culvert......"

"Did they go into Sanssouci Cave?" Cui Liushang's face immediately changed when he heard this: "How is this good." Obviously, he, like Shen Liang, also knew this allusion.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, just sit down and talk." Sun Tu seemed quite calm, and smiled and comforted everyone.

Before they could react, several subordinates came in a hurry and passed on similar news, all of which were those thieves related to the pink swallow who suddenly ran into the Sanssouci Cave, and it was extremely difficult to catch them.

Seeing that his subordinates were all looking at him with uneasy eyes, Sun Tu laughed: "Don't worry, what I want is this result." As long as I force them into the Sanssouci hole, my plan will be more than half, enough to wipe out the Pink Swallows that have been in trouble for many years. ”

How is this possible? Everyone looked at their boss in disbelief, if they didn't know Sun Dutou's ability and resourcefulness, they would have thought that the other party was talking crazy.

What kind of place is the Sanssouci Cave, the Ghost Fan Tower? There is deep underground, the road is extremely complicated, even if one or two thousand people are sprinkled in, it may not be enough, and those thieves were able to escape the pursuit of Bao Fuyin because they hid in it for several months, so that the court had to give up. Now with them alone, it is even more impossible to do it.

Sun Tu swept his gaze over the people in front of him and said with a smile: "What? Don't you believe? ”

No one spoke, although everyone had doubts in their hearts, but looking at Du Tou's face and thinking about his previous performance, he couldn't help but have a little expectation.

"What do you think is the hardest thing about getting rid of the Pink Swallow completely?" Sun Tu suddenly changed the subject and asked.

The subordinates shook their heads a little blankly, in their opinion, everything was difficult, and it was only possible to split a way and force these thieves to go underground. Fortunately, Sun Tu didn't expect them to give an answer, so he replied: "The most difficult thing is not to arrest those little people who belong to the periphery, even if we can catch them all today, there will still be people who will die for the people who are pink swallows in a while." This so-called wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

"So if you want to completely pull out the pink swallow, the most important thing is to convict those who are the leading thieves. However, they are the most cautious, and often hide very deeply, and even though we have tried our best, we still have not gained much, and we have not even found a few of their important strongholds.

"In that case, why can't we change our strategy and stop looking for their hiding places and start with them directly? Now is the opportunity, today so many of his men have fled into the ground, do you think those leaders will also follow in to settle down? ”

Shen Liang had already understood, and nodded again and again: "What the head said is, I'm afraid that now those thieves of the Pink Swallow have all gone underground." Otherwise, if they ignore these subordinates now, it will be impossible for them to work for them in the future. ”

"Yes, instead of trying to find them one by one, it's better to get them together and catch them all. And everything that this official had deployed before was to give them an idea - there was no other way to survive except to escape into the underground and enter their so-called Sanssouci cave. ”

Speaking of which, everyone naturally understands Sun Tu's intentions, but there is still one most critical question that has not been answered-those thieves have now entered the underground according to the design of the capital, but how to arrest them?

The problem came back around, and everyone looked at Sun Tu with their eyes to see what he had to do to solve this problem.

Sun Tu stood up: "At the beginning, Bao Gong took people in winter, so when these people fled underground, it was difficult to catch them. Fortunately, it's only autumn now, so it's naturally very different. Moreover, even God is helping us this time, and we will definitely succeed in the battle! As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and strode out.

The others were still a little confused, and after walking out of the door, they all looked up at the still dark sky overhead, and the rain in the sky still hadn't stopped, and it had been raining for almost a month......
