Just as Sun Tu expected to see, until dawn the next day, after the details of the three yamen joining forces in Tokyo yesterday became known, it really set off a lot of turmoil in the court, and in the environment of different opinions, speculation about why the prince suddenly intervened in public security matters also began to be very loud, and it was obvious that someone was starting to attack the prince.

Of course, compared to the crown prince, as the direct participants and orderers of yesterday's case, Wei Daozhang, Zhao Kangming and Han Xianchu immediately became the targets of everyone's verbal criticism, bluntly saying that they acted recklessly and made many murders, which is really an unforgivable crime.

Of course, in addition to them, Sun Tu was also the target of impeachment and criticism. After all, as soon as he appeared in the criminal department in the middle of the night, he completely exposed himself, and those with ulterior motives naturally couldn't let him go. However, because his identity is not as good as others, he has not really become the person he is targeting, but his situation is not optimistic, and he temporarily resides at home.

For such an arrangement, Sun Tu is very happy, he has been busy with official business for many days and can't accompany his wife and children well, so he happens to spend more time with them at home behind closed doors.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when the light snow was sunny and the warm winter sun was shining in the yard, Sun Tu took his wife and children to stroll on the snow in the backyard, and from time to time he threw a few snowballs at each other with the tiger head, which made his son laugh and made the second daughter's face show a happy expression.

Whether it is Ya'er or Hu Rong, in fact, they don't pay too much attention to the life of rich and noble families, their requirements for Sun Tu have always been simple, that is, they can be by their side more and give them enough love and care. It's the best way to walk in the backyard as a family and enjoy the scenery after the snow.

"Third brother, when do you think we can go back to Qingzhou again?" After gossiping for a while, Hu Rong suddenly asked such a question. And her question also made Ya'er's face show a look of expectation, and the two pairs of wonderful eyes fell on Sun Tu's body almost at the same time.

Sun Tu was bending down again at this time to hold a handful of snow in his hand, and when he heard this, he no longer threw it at his son, who was staring at him, but threw it far away with a snort, and asked, "What?" Thinking about Qingzhou? I remember that the food and accommodation there were far inferior to Bianjing. ”

"But when we're there, we're much better, there's nothing to worry about, we're all like family. But here, you have to be careful even when you go out, for fear that something will go wrong, it's really awkward. Although Hu Rong has changed a lot, her outspoken personality is still there, especially when it comes to Sun Tu, she can say whatever she wants.

Sun Tu smiled: "Yes, in fact, I also miss when I was in Qingzhou." However, it is not so easy to go back. But I believe that one day our family will be able to go back to Qingzhou again. Speaking of this, his eyes fell to the south, as if he wanted to pass thousands of miles away and look at those brothers in the south of the Yangtze River. Although he is in Bianjing, his heart has always been tied to Jiangnan.

Feeling Sun Tu's thoughts, Ya'er stopped continuing on this topic and asked with concern: "By the way, Third Brother, you said that you saved Brother Zhou Xiong that day, and said that he was seriously injured, so how is he now?" Why don't you take him to our house, so you can take care of him. And Wan'er, is there really no news of her? Although she didn't get along with Zhou Xiong and Zhou Xiuwan for a long time, her feelings for them were sincere.

Sun Tu really retracted his gaze because of this, and said, "Senior Brother Zhou's injuries are not light, so I left him in Doctor Ye's medical hall for him to treat before. I heard that after a few days of treatment, although he has not woken up, he has recovered a lot, and it is indeed time to take care of him. As for Wan'er...... he couldn't bear to say it in front of Ya'er after all, but just looking at his expression, Ya'er had already guessed the answer, which made her face darken.

Yes, even Zhou Xiong has fallen into the hands of thieves and suffered a lot, so as a weak Zhou Xiuwan, the result can naturally be imagined. At this moment, Ya'er felt that those thieves were trapped and killed in the underground waterways because they were to blame, and there was no trace of guilt or anxiety.

Just as the family was talking and wanted to go to the pavilion in front of them to sit down, a house slave hurried over: "Master Hou, the two uncles came to visit, and they are now waiting in the front hall." ”

"Ah, are the second brother and the ninth brother here?" When Ya'er heard this, she immediately became happy: "Two days ago, I just prepared some hand-made winter clothes for them and my mother before they were delivered, so I just gave them them by hand." Ya'er, who has been separated from her parents since she was a child, attaches great importance to this lost and regained family relationship, and she has not gone back to say hello to her mother during this time, and she has to go back to get gifts when she is busy.

Sun Tu smiled when he saw it: "You slow down, the two brothers should be looking for me when they come over." He had vaguely guessed their intentions, after all, there was something he hadn't done well, and it was indeed a bit unauthentic.

Ya'er then understood, answered in a low voice, and went back to the back house with Hu Rong with the unfinished tiger head, while Sun Tu went straight to the front hall, and then saw Di Huchen with a worried face and Di Yingyang with a blank face, the latter still hasn't understood why his brother wants to pull him on this trip.

"Second brother, why are you here, you are really a rare guest." When Sun Tu arrived at the door of the hall, he smiled and said jokingly.

Di Huchen also showed a reluctant smile on his face: "I'm ashamed, you and I are a family, but because of some things, we have become a little angry. Fortunately, Lao Jiu has a close relationship with you, otherwise I would be a little embarrassed to come to the door. ”

The second brother laughed, since they are a family, there is nothing to live and not to have. To be honest, I haven't even thanked you for taking care of Ya'er before. Sun Tu entered the hall and nodded at Di Yingyang, and then sat down on the main seat: "Brother Jiu, are you okay these days?" ”

"Okay, I can eat and sleep, and I don't have anything to worry about, of course." Di Yingyang said with a smile, then looked at his second brother again, and looked at Sun Tu, he really wanted to know what was hidden from him between the two. said that he was supposed to be a bridge between the two, and he didn't see any dealings between them, so why did he feel like he was being kept in the dark?

But Sun Tu and Di Huchen were not in a hurry to get to the point at this time, and they all started gossiping. It wasn't until Ya'er brought the tiger head to meet, pulled the family routine for a while, and sent the winter clothes for the two brothers and mother and left, that they got to the point.

"San Lang, you are really not authentic in doing this, you obviously said it, but you can't do it, but it makes the prince very passive." After all, Di Huchen couldn't hold his breath first, and said with some resentment.

Di Yingyang blinked his eyes on the other side, why did he have anything to do with the prince? Why can't I understand what he means? But in the end, he couldn't help but speak, just listened quietly.

Sun Tu smiled a little helplessly: "Second brother, you don't know, I did intend to capture a few bandit leaders alive before, but didn't something go wrong, those important people all died violently in the lair, naturally they couldn't hand over the people to the prince, let alone ask the identity of the people behind the scenes from their mouths." ”

"But you didn't say that in the Li Family Restaurant that day, now we have done as you said, and we have caused a lot of trouble, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, harm the prince, right?"

"Li's Restaurant...... Second brother, were you there that day? Di Yingyang really couldn't help it now, and asked in surprise.

But the other two didn't reply to him, only to see Sun Tu sigh and say: "It's just that things have changed, but it's not that I'm going back on my word." In fact, the prince should have been able to see who was behind the scenes by now, right? Now that person is constantly agitating for impeachment by officials in the DPRK and China, which must be a sign of weakness. ”

"Even if you guess it's him, what's the use of not having evidence in hand?"

"No, even if there are no witnesses, there is always physical evidence. I found a lot of letters and ledgers in that den that day, and there was no evidence of any clues in them? ”

Di Huchen snorted when he heard this: "It's easy for you to say, those things have already entered the hands of the Criminal Department, and how can Tang Jing go to investigate?" Unless there is further evidence or witnesses come out to testify, he will only help cover up, and in the end, a big thing will be turned into a small thing, and a small thing will be turned into a small thing. ”

Sun Tu's face also sank, he really didn't expect that there was such an atmosphere in the court now, even if he had already made the matter clear, those people were still thinking about covering it up. But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved again, they could even turn a blind eye to a big case like Litong Liaoguo, and this kind of civil case was naturally even more unlikely to be put to heart by those ministers who lived in temples.

"And now it's not a matter of how to hold those people accountable, it's more that they all turned around and targeted the prince, if there is no breakthrough in this case, I'm afraid that even the prince's situation will be worrying." Di Huchen's face was full of grief and worry: "Everything starts with you San Lang, and this matter can only be found by you." Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have done anything, and the others wouldn't be able to say. They will do whatever it takes to protect the crown prince. "It's a direct threat.

Sun Tu looked at him fixedly for a while, and finally sighed: "Since you have said so, second brother, I naturally don't want to make it difficult for you." Well, give me three more days, and I'll be able to give you a satisfactory answer. ”

"Is there a turning point in this matter?" Di Huchen suddenly came to his senses and asked urgently. To be honest, when he came today, he really had no choice but to try his luck when he saw Sun Tu, but now it seems that he really came to the right place.

"If my expectations are correct, there are still key fish out there, as long as I can hold him, all problems will be solved!" When he said the word "everything", Sun Tu's eyes obviously showed a strange light.
