Seeing An Daoquan coming out of the room, Sun Tu hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "How is it, Xu Shangshu's injury is not serious, right?" ”

This is Xu Hui's mansion, he was rushed back after he was injured, Sun Tu also hurriedly arranged for many Xinglin experts from Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat him, and the divine doctor An Dao was the last one to come out.

An Daoquan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied in a low voice: "Xu Shangshu's external injuries are not too serious, except for the flesh wounds, that is, the right hand is contusion, and it does not hurt the muscles and bones. He fainted because he had overworked and had a cold. Now the lower officials have administered injections and medicines for him, and it will take less than ten days and a half to recover. ”

After hearing this, Sun Tucai let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked, "Then can he wake up now?" ”

"I'm already awake, but I'm still a little weak, if the captain wants to ask him something, let's try to hurry up."

Sun Tu nodded, patted the other party's shoulder, and then pushed the door and entered Xu Hui's bedroom.

It is said that the Ministry of Industry is the fattest yamen in the world, and as long as a little bit of the money for various projects is missing, it is enough for an official to eat a full stomach, and Shang Shu, as the chief official of the ministry, is naturally the largest contractor in the world, not to mention the benefits.

However, Xu Hui obviously does not fit this statement, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he has never embezzled a penny of the imperial court by virtue of his position, which can only be seen from his mansion. As the mansion of the third grade Shangshu, his family is no different from the mansion of other four or five officials, and even a few times into the courtyard can not see any luxurious decoration, there are more than a dozen people in the family, which is placed in the Great Song Dynasty is already an extremely low-level and thrifty official performance, if you contact the identity of the Ministry of Works, it is even more amazing.

At this time, Xu Huo was lying on the bed, pale and had many bruises and abrasions, looking really embarrassed, and there was fear and grievances in his eyes. It wasn't until he saw Sun Tu enter the house that he forced his weak body to sit up and salute: "Taiwei, why are you ......" but Sun Tu who stepped forward gently held him down: "You're like this, don't worry about these vain things." This made him stop moving, and his heart was also warm, and he felt the care from Sun Tu.

After seeing him lie down again, Sun Tucai sighed and said: "This time you really suffered a great grievance, and it is really unheard of to be hurt by someone because of your loyalty to the king." But don't worry, the official will definitely make decisions for you in this matter, and all the people who hurt you have been taken down on the spot, and they will definitely pay the price. ”

Xu Huo was moved again, but at the same time he still said: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter, and it is related to the stability of the DPRK and China, it is better not to investigate deeply, after all, the lower officials have not been seriously injured......

"No, this is not a misunderstanding, but a deliberate provocation, a provocation against you, and even more so against my Sun Tu! It doesn't necessarily matter how serious your injury is. Sun Tu looked at him and said: "I have just asked people to check, although those who hurt you are some gentlemen who have nothing to do, but they are all the sons and nephews of the officials who have just been washed by the water of Jinming Pond in Zhuangzi, this is at least a revenge for your order to dig the embankment, and at a large extent, it is clearly against the decision of the imperial court." ”

"Actually...... Is that the case? Xu Huo was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why those people would attack themselves in the inner city for no reason, and while beating them, they insulted and said that they had brought disaster to the country and the people, and they deserved death. It is precisely from this that he thought he had always acted upright, and he had never harmed anyone, so how could he be treated like this......

But immediately, Xu Hui's face was worried again: "Tai Lieutenant, the lower officials recognized that several of them were children of noble families in the court, if they really did a deep investigation, I was afraid that they would ...... Forget it. ”

Sun Tu glanced at him deeply: "I understand your thoughts, but there are some things that must not be allowed, otherwise they will only make them more and more unscrupulous." Today they will do it to you for this matter, and if you don't pursue it, I am afraid that tomorrow someone else will suffer because of something else. This kind of tolerating and adulterous behavior is definitely not something I can allow, and you can rest assured that you will raise it at home, and I will be the master of all freedom. It's been a hard time for you these days, even if it's a vacation given to you by the imperial court, it's not too late to return to the yamen when you're well. As he spoke, he straightened up and smiled at the other.

He is still very satisfied with Xu Hui, this is a technocrat who is bent on water conservancy projects, does not have too many complicated thoughts, and is exactly the kind of talent he needs from the DPRK and China. It is precisely because of this that after knowing that he was hurt, Sun Tu became more and more annoyed and vowed to pay a tragic price.

When Sun Tu opened the door and came out, the smile on his face had been replaced by a thick killing intent, and he looked at Tang Feng, who was already waiting: "Have you brought everyone to the Imperial City Division?" ”

"Yes, they will soon be interrogated, and those dumb boys are already acting quite panicked, and they feel that if they are tortured a little, they will reveal the inside story of who they are instructed to be."

"Well, with the temperament and style of these people, it is indeed possible to find trouble with Xu Hui because the family property is flooded, but it is impossible to be so meticulous and block people so quickly, and there must be someone else to guide from the side! What I have to do now is to dig this person out for me! Sun Tu gritted his teeth and said. Compared to those simple-minded people who are used by others, the person behind this is the most damned one.

"I think I should be able to ask the answer today." After Tang Feng hugged his fists, he wanted to leave. Sun Tu did not continue to stay here, as a lieutenant and a ruling party, he had too many military and political leaders to deal with, and he only left for half a day, but he was afraid that there would be more affairs to be handled in the Privy Council.

The two of them got out of the gate of Xu's mansion and were about to get on their horses and return, but a person came on the street in front of them. Originally, this capital was not allowed to ride horses at will because of the large population, and this is especially true here in the inner city, but now, the people who came couldn't take care of these rules, relying on their exquisite riding skills, they avoided the panicked crowd several times, and quickly rushed to Sun Tu. Dozens of officials and lords suddenly gathered in front of the palace, crying and shouting grievances, and attracted more officials to check, and now there are no less than 100 officials gathered in front of the palace. ”

"What? Is there such a thing? Sun Tu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he immediately guessed what was going on, obviously the fathers and brothers of those dumb children reacted after knowing their fate, and actually planned to fish people out of the hands of the Imperial City Division by crying to the emperor, they were really so wishful thinking!

As his mind turned, Sun Tu's face became more and more gloomy, and he immediately got on his horse: "Let's go, go to the palace!" "He wants to see how much trouble these guys can make, and how they can exonerate their sons and nephews!

By the time Sun Tu galloped towards the palace, the scene had become vast and uncontrollable, for more than a hundred officials had gathered in front of the palace gates, and the number was still increasing.

Although in the past two years, because of Sun Tu's deliberate suppression, except for the great court meeting twice a month, officials in Beijing rarely enter the palace to see His Majesty, which has made the vicinity of the palace quite deserted. But after all, the palace is located in the center of the imperial city, and there are many yamen in the imperial city, and everyone will always pay attention to the situation over there, so every move in front of the palace gate can't escape everyone's eyes.

In the afternoon of this day, a group of officials suddenly came crying in front of the palace gate, saying loudly that they wanted to see the official family and ask the official family to make decisions for them. Although the soldiers and horses guarding the palace gate did not let them in, and even said that they should leave, what should be reported to the political hall in advance. But as a result, they completely ignored the soldiers with knives and guns in front of them, they just kept crying and begging, kowtowing more than once, constantly saying that they had grievances to see the Son of Heaven, and threatened that if they couldn't see the emperor, they would never leave, and they would kneel and die here!

In this way, the momentum in front of the palace became more and more immense, and then more officials attracted the attention of others. At this time, some people began their performances, and shouted with panic and wronged faces: "Colleagues, I am wronged." Just two days ago, the manor outside the city that was given to us by the imperial court was deliberately flooded by Xu Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, so my nephew went to reason with him today. As a result, Xu Huo pretended to be injured by someone, attracted the patrol in Beijing, and actually arrested everyone...... That's it, now they have been taken by the people of the Imperial City Division!

"What is the Imperial City Division, you colleagues should know very well, as long as we think that our sons and brothers may be framed and tortured by those fierce guys, we are anxious. Now the only one who can save them and return their innocence is Your Majesty, and we can only come to your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the ministers have been wronged, and I ask you to administer justice for us......"

Such a reversal of black and white rhetoric has really made many officials accept it. They already had great prejudices against the Imperial City Division, an institution that specifically watched them, but now that they heard that something like this had happened again, they felt even more empathetic, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they actually ran forward, gathered with them, in solidarity, and at the same time shouted loudly at the palace, saying that they wanted to see the Son of Heaven.

In this way, there are more and more people in front of the palace, which also makes the pressure on the soldiers and generals guarding here increase sharply, one by one, as if they are facing a great enemy, but they don't know how to deal with them at all. The only way is to send someone to see Sun Tu as soon as possible and ask him to come and calm the situation as soon as possible......
