It is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the first day of the Lantern Festival in all prefectures and counties in the world.

Even if there is yesterday's turmoil, early this morning there are still countless merchants and rich families to prepare all kinds of lanterns to take out and put up, and so on after dusk, all kinds of lanterns are shining on the streets of Jiangzhou City, almost attracting the people of the city to watch, so lively and celebrated.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, at this time in the hall of Sun Tu's house, there was a circle of people sitting around, and they were all worried, how could they have the slightest joy to meet the festival.

Although Cai Jiu did not pursue Sun Tu's crime of deception after Song Jiang couldn't stand the punishment yesterday and honestly confessed that he was just pretending to be crazy, his situation was still a little delicate, so it was difficult to defend Song Jiang in the future, so he could only watch him being taken away and thrown into the state government prison, and now Song Jiang was completely out of his care.

Then it didn't take half a day, Dai Zong passed the news that Song Jiang was locked by the government for writing anti-poems to some friends and brothers who were good friends and brothers in the city and outside the city, so that these people who should have been at home for the New Year's Festival all ran back in a hurry, including the familiar Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng brothers, as well as the Mu Hong Muchun brothers who had never met before, and Li Kui, who had been playing in the casino for many years, was the last to learn the news and had just arrived at Sun Tu, but he was the most eager.

In a somewhat depressing atmosphere, Li Kui was the first to come to Sun Tu and jumped to his feet and shouted: "Sun Tu, aren't you in charge of the prison camp, why did you let Brother Gongming take away!" You are so unrighteous, you only care about yourself, but you don't care about the life or death of Brother Gongming, count me Li Kui wrong about you! In a hurry, he even changed his name for Sun Tu, and his attitude was extremely bad.

This made Luda, Yang Zhi and Tang Feng on the side very annoyed, and they just wanted to speak up, but they were interrupted by Sun Tu waving his hand: "Tie Niu is just concerned about Brother Song's safety before he talks like this, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

"Yes, Brother Tie Niu, don't blame Brother Sun, although he is in charge of the prison camp, he is only Cai Jiu's subordinate after all, and it is impossible to disobey the orders of his boss to protect Brother Gongming." Zhang Shun also hurriedly helped to speak. Seeing him speak, several other people also echoed his words and appeased Li Kuilai.

But Li Kui, a muddy person, is a master who does not enter the oil and salt, he has always only served Dai Zong, only respects Song Jiang, and the rest of the people are not taken seriously by him, at this time he just stared at Sun Tu with a pair of bull's eyes: "What you said is good, since you are the brother of Brother Gongming, you should help him get out of trouble." I've already made up my mind, I'm going to the prison to rescue Brother Gongming, if you really still treat us as brothers, go together and do your best! He got up and wanted to leave.

The other people were stunned, and then the brothers of the Mu family also stood up: "Yes, our brother also admires Brother Gongming's personality very much, this time he committed something and we can't see death without saving him, we will go with Tie Niu to save him." ”

"I ...... too" Zhang Heng quickly got up and wanted to follow under their influence, but was stopped by Zhang Shun and Li Jun at the same time, obviously these two people's minds were more detailed than the others. Sun Tu was pale, and immediately shouted: "What crazy things are you all talking about, is this really planning to rebel?" Is it because only Brother Song is too lonely in the prison and wants to go in a few more to accompany him? ”

"Drink...... I knew you would stop it, it seems that Sun Tuanlian is indeed an official of the imperial court, and it is not all the way with our brothers. Mu Hong was the first to react and looked at him with suspicion on his face. And Li Kui's reaction was even more intense, and he immediately turned his face when he heard it: "I just said that you have a big problem, and now you refuse to save my brother, maybe you hurt Brother Gongming to be taken by the government, otherwise how could he be imprisoned in the state government prison if he is in the prison camp!" As he spoke, he turned around sharply and pounced fiercely at Sun Tu.

Sun Tu's face became more and more ugly, he really couldn't imagine that these people who were regarded as friends by him would treat themselves like this at this time, and they didn't think about themselves at all, they only thought about how to save Song Jiang. He Sun Tu is a court official, and he has family members in the city, how can he risk saving people at will and be accused of being a traitor?

And Li Kui doesn't give you a chance to reason at all, and if a word doesn't go well, you have to do it. Seeing that the other party pounced fiercely, he clenched his fists with both hands and wanted to fight back, but Ruda on the side moved faster than him, and he flashed to him one step ahead, and with a low shout, he met it with a straight punch, and the fist the size of a vinegar bowl hit Li Kui's fist.

"Bang ......" only this punch, Li Kui's momentum of rushing forward was paused, and then his body was vigorously led backwards, if it wasn't for Mu Chun blocking in the rear, I was afraid that he would be hit by this punch and hit the wall. But Li Kui, who was frustrated, did not retreat but advanced, roared again, and shouted: "I know that you are not happy and kind, I will kill you first and then save my brother!" Before the words fell, the man had pounced like a mad tiger again, and at the same time, he wiped his hand on his waist, and a short knife was already in his hand, and he quickly thrust towards Ruda.

This time Sun Tu couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly got up to meet him, his left leg suddenly kicked out like a long whip, and just kicked Li Kui's right hand holding the knife, so that his wrist was loosened, and the knife had fallen to the ground. At the same time, Sun Tu's body did not stop, he quickly came to the other party, and when he was stunned for a while, his right hand had reached out like lightning, and he had already choked Li Kui's thick neck, and when he retracted it hard, it made it difficult for him to breathe, and his black face quickly turned red, and then he didn't stop, and he rushed directly to the wall with Li Kui, smashing him against the wall.

This series of movements was as fast as a rabbit's fall, and in the blink of an eye, Li Kui, who was still shouting just now, became a poor man in his hand who might break his neck at any time. The other people were dumbfounded, and the Mu family brothers were even more shocked and pulled out the short knife they carried with them as if they wanted to fight hard, but they were held down by Luda and Yang Zhi first, and they couldn't help, and they couldn't even move. And Li Jun and the Zhang brothers didn't know how to react at this time, and their friendship with Sun Tu was not shallow, so they can't say that they will turn their faces now, right?

Over there, Sun Tu was choking Li Kui's throat, lifting him against the wall, and letting him struggle for a while before he let go of his hand and threw the man on the ground. Only then did he condescendingly stare at the guy who was panting for breath and said, "Don't be so presumptuous because you are simple-minded, you want to hurt my brother Sun Tu, you are not qualified enough!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people present changed slightly, they had already heard it, in Sun Tu's heart, maybe only Yang Zhi and Luda could be regarded as his henchmen, and the others were not ranked at all. Or perhaps, even Song Jiang and Sun Tu never really took him seriously.

"Also, I'll just say it once - I have never had bad intentions towards Brother Song, but I am an official of the imperial court, and I have a family here, it is impossible for you to let me risk endless troubles to save Song Jiang, and this is unrealistic. I'm afraid that the state government prison has already been set up by now, just waiting for you to plunge into it yourself. Sun Tu's gloomy face swept over these guys who only focused on righteousness but had no brains and said, "But this doesn't mean that I mean to harm you. If Song Jiang is really my harm, just based on your words and deeds just now, I can kill you all, and I really treat myself as a person, in the eyes of my Sun Tu, you are just a group of reckless! ”

Just now, Sun Tu explained to them in a good voice and calmed the emotions of these people, whether it was the Mu family brothers or Li Kui, they were all very disapproving, and even refuted again and again. But now, when he suddenly turned his face and made a move, showing his martial arts skills far beyond these people, several people didn't dare to make a sound, just lowered their heads and listened.

Sun Tu looked at their performance and became more and more disdainful. Originally, he still had a good impression of the heroes of Liangshan, and felt that the people there were all brave and resourceful true heroes. But after this contact, he can see that in fact, there is also a mixture of fish and dragons here, and more than half of them are difficult to call heroes, at least the reckless Li Kui and the former and backward Mu brothers are not worthy of being called heroes.

"You don't want to think about it, now that Song Jiang has been regarded as a traitor by Taishou, how can the prison where he is being held be as lax as before? Although the soldiers of our country have not moved, I am afraid that there are already hundreds or more soldiers and horses guarding the prison, unless all of you are masters of ten thousand enemies, otherwise you will not want to rescue him from the prison. Moreover, Song Jiang had been severely tortured before, and it was difficult to even walk, even if he could really rescue someone from prison, it would be extremely difficult to take him out of Jiangzhou safely. You don't want to think about why Dean Dai told you to only let you come to see me and wait here, instead of letting you go to the prison desperately to save people? It is because he knows that there is no success in saving people in this way, and it must be done in the long run. Sun Tu said after a little bit of anger in his heart.

Seeing that a few people were finally convinced by his words, Sun Tu snorted again: "And I'll just put my words here, although I am friends with Song Jiang, it is impossible for me to abandon my family and business for him." Once you dare to affect me in order to save him, then I can only strike first and solve your troubles first. Now you all stay in peace for me, and it won't be too late to make a decision when Dean Dai returns. "You have to deal with these guys, you have to be tough with them, as for their perception of themselves or something, it's not something that Sun Tu can care about at this time.

Several people have been completely suppressed by Sun Tu, and no one dares to act abnormally, even Li Kui sat back honestly after getting up, but the atmosphere in the hall was a little weird, everyone just glanced at each other, but no one spoke.

After all, Sun Tu's words were really beyond their expectations, and even Luda and Yang Zhi couldn't accept it.

At this moment, there was an agreed knock on the door outside, and it was Dai Zong who rushed over.
