Xue Yuanpeng has a deep grudge against Sun Tu, and since Sun Tu first went to Kaifeng Mansion to sue the Zhang family last year, he has been very unable to get off the stage. After entering the yamen, Sun Tu intensified his efforts, constantly challenging his bottom line and authority as a boss through the Han family case, the extermination of Pink Swallow and other incidents, which repeatedly discredited him, and now there are already people gossiping behind his back.

It was only because Sun Tu had Tong Guan behind him, and he was a military attaché, that Xue Yuanpeng had no way to deal with him, so he could only endure it bitterly. And today, finally let him find a suitable opportunity, Sun Tu was so bold that he arbitrarily executed the envoy of the Liao State without the approval of the Kaifeng Mansion, which has completely violated the imperial court system, so that he can justifiably clean up this blind subordinate.

Moreover, this matter is very wide-ranging, and may even affect the diplomatic relations between Song and Liao, Xue Yuanpeng believes that Tong Guanzhi will definitely not be easily involved in it, so he can pull out the thorn in Sun Tu's side in one fell swoop.

With his order, those officers and soldiers agreed in unison, and they wanted to step forward to take Sun Tu down with their swords and guns. And after Sun Tu's face changed, he quickly understood something, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, after all, he still overestimated the strength of these civil officials, or underestimated the destructive power of what he had done before, did he actually make Xue Yuanpeng hate himself to the bone, as long as he seized the opportunity, he would not hesitate to kill himself!

Although he regretted a little in his heart, he had acted too tough before, but at this time, there was no possibility of being caught, Sun Tu took a slight step back at the moment, and said loudly: "Xue Tong's judgment is really unconvincing. These Liao people hurt the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the front, resisted arrest and injured the lower officials and a group of subordinates, and they have already made a big mistake, how can the lower officials, as the magistrates of Dongcheng, not be able to bring them to justice? ”

"This official has never promised you to set up a private court, let alone punish these Liao envoys! Even if they are wrong, you should hand it over to the Kaifeng Mansion for this official to deal with. If everyone is as reckless as you are, then what is the law? Sun Tu, do you also want to resist arrest and resist? And you, do you also want to help Sun Tu resist the imperial court? Xue Yuanpeng immediately glared at him and shouted vigorously, but the latter sentence was said to Cui Liushang and the others who were putting on a posture to meet the attack.

This made the errand suddenly wake up, and he lowered his hand a little timidly. They are no better than Sun Dutou, so naturally they dare not compete with Xue Tongju. Even Sun Tu could only bow his head and sigh at this time: "Xiaguan naturally didn't dare to resist." I just don't know one thing, why do the Liao people wantonly hurt my people in my Tokyo city, but the government still wants to calm things down, and also ask people who are the masters of the people and judge impartially? ”

He said this lightly, and immediately passed into the ears of the surrounding people who were obviously flustered by Xue Yuanpeng's arrival and decision, so that after a period of stunned, they all hugged Sun Tu up: "Yes, this official, these Liao people are doing nonsense in the city, but they don't see officials leading people to make decisions for the people, and now Sun Dutou finally took them down and asked them for their crimes, but you have to speak for them, do I don't care if I live or die in the court?" ”

After saying a few words, many people became a little excited and stepped forward to make theories. If the people in other places are still in awe of the government, but the people in the capital are all knowledgeable, they will not take a Kaifeng Mansion judgment too seriously.

This immediately killed Xue Yuanpeng by surprise, which made his heart quickly lift, and shouted: "What do you want to do?" Is this a rebellion? If these Liao people make mistakes, the court will deal with them, and it is not your turn to call the shots! Sun Tu, are you talking like this to incite the people's uprising? Although the words were still strong, there was already a bit of fear in his eyes. Because he knows very well that once something really happens, Sun Tu will certainly be blamed, but his own results will be very bad.

"We just want justice, Sun Dutou is the master of the people, and I hope that Xue Tong will not announce personal vendettas!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted a word, and then the others responded, and the same words kept ringing out, forcing Xue Yuanpeng to comply.

It was only at this time that Xue Yuanpeng knew how high Sun Tu's reputation was in Bianjing City, and it was really shocking that these people could spontaneously form such a momentum in order to avenge Sun Tu's grievances.

"Sun ...... Don't let them stop, or you and I will have a big disaster. Now Xue Yuanpeng can only ask Sun Tu for help, and he lowered his face and said such a sentence.

Sun Tu also knew that such a situation could not develop any further, so he shook his head and shouted: "Everyone, please be calm and not impatient, you are deeply grateful to Sun Tu for his love and care, but after all, Sun Tu has a little inconsiderate of this matter, and it is natural for Xue Tong to be sentenced to such blame." But don't worry, Xue Tong's words just now are also in a hurry, and the imperial court will not really revoke my official position because of this trivial matter, and I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to talk about it. As he spoke, he glanced at Xue Yuanpeng and waited for him to react.

Xue Yuanpeng's mouth was bitter, what he had just said was now forced to be withdrawn, which dealt a bigger blow to his prestige than before. But at this point, he had no other choice, so he could only show a smile that was more ugly than crying and said: "Sun Dutou is right, just now it was indeed the official's momentary gaffe, this matter still needs to be investigated, as long as Sun Dutou makes a big mistake, he will definitely not lose his official position because of this." "After all, he is an official, there is still room in his words.

But the people couldn't hear the deep meaning, and when they saw him say this, they finally calmed down. The crowd that had just stepped forward and seemed to be about to clash with a group of officers and soldiers also retreated.

Seeing that a conflict had finally subsided, Xue Yuanpeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Sun Tu: "Sun Dutou, then please go back to Kaifeng Mansion with this official first." ”

Sun Tu knew that this was unavoidable, so he smiled and nodded: "Of course, the lower officials really have to go to the Han Mansion Yin Yu to explain the ins and outs of this matter, so that the imperial court can make decisions for the people of my Tokyo City!" ”

In this way, Sun Tu left the security station surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers and went to Kaifeng Mansion. As for his subordinates and the people around him, they were persuaded by him to stay and did not go with him. Otherwise, so many people ran to the Kaifeng Mansion together, and the matter would really be a big problem.

Along the way, Xue Yuanpeng had a gloomy face and didn't say anything again. Today, he has lost face, and he doesn't even have the face to reprimand Sun Tu as his boss, so he can only put the hope of punishing Sun Tu on Han Fuyin.

After returning to the mansion, Xue Yuanpeng left Sun Tu in the courtyard, and went directly to see Han Changzhou first, and told him what happened in the east of the city just now: "Fu Yin, this matter is tricky, but how to deal with it?" ”

Han Changzhou stared at this subordinate with a look of surprise, and only sighed for a while: "This Sun Tu's courage is too big. Now, he must be put on all charges. As for the Tong Shumi, the official will think of how to deal with it. Now it is imperative to send those Liao people back as soon as possible, otherwise our situation will become worse and worse. ”

"Then what should Sun Tu do now?" Xue Yuanpeng is most concerned about this.

"This ......" Han Fuyin was also difficult to make a decision for a while, and he didn't know whether he should see Sun Tu. To be honest, even he was not sure that he could suppress this young Jiupin military attaché, this guy was too tough and did not abide by the rules of officialdom.

Just in a dilemma, suddenly a subordinate hurriedly came to the door of the hall: "Fu Yin, someone from Honglu Temple suddenly sent a message, saying that the Liao State is the envoy who wants to see the head of Sun Du, who took down his subordinates, ......"

"What?" The two officials inside the door showed a look of disbelief, and glanced at each other, only to be sure that they had heard correctly, and then a question arose - why did the envoy of the Liao State want to see Sun Tu? Are they trying to get angry with their men? Or is it to show off your strength in the city of Tokyo?

And what makes them even more troublesome is, should this matter be resolved? If Sun Tu is handed over to the Liao, it will save a lot of trouble. But in this way, isn't it a sign of weakness, I'm afraid this will make the government and the opposition criticize, and even provoke the Son of Heaven to blame, right?

When his mind turned, Xue Yuanpeng suddenly came up with a countermeasure: "Fu Yin, Xia Guan has an idea, maybe he can get the best of both worlds." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Now that those Liao people have been put on the board, in fact, we can already give an explanation to the people. Then why not let Sun Tu send them back to the embassy? In this way, if the Liao people really want to retaliate, it doesn't have much to do with my Kaifeng Mansion, it is they who use force to take people......" Xue Yuanpeng said his strategy softly. He really hated Sun Tu to death, and hated that he would fall into the hands of the Liao people and be tortured to death.

After thinking about it, Han Changzhou also felt that there was no other better way, so he nodded and said, "Then according to what you said, let Sun Tu send those Liao people back to the embassy." ”

After listening to Xue Yuanpeng's instructions, Sun Tu was obviously a little distracted: "This is what Fu Yin did to me?" ”

"Yes, this is an opportunity for you to make amends. As long as you can send people back and keep the Liao envoys from causing any trouble in Beijing because of this incident, this incident will be considered over. Sun Dutou, you have to do it yourself. Xue Yuanpeng said kindly at this time, as if he was really thinking about Sun Tu.

Although he always felt that the other party was uneasy and kind to arrange it like this, but at this time he had no other choice, Sun Tu could only give up his hand and say: "In this case, the next official will receive the order." ”

Towards the end of the evening, Sun Tu took a few officials and carried the three Liao people who could not walk after being punished with a cane towards the Liao embassy.
