As soon as it was dark, the Criminal Department and Kaifeng Mansion jointly sent someone to ask Sun Tu for someone. During the day, a mess in the west of the city was indeed quite big, and it had only been more than two hours, and it had already spread throughout the city, and their reaction was indeed faster than expected.

In the face of their demands, Sun Tu really couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse for refusing, after all, with his current status, he really had no right to investigate the case, let alone detain such an important criminal as Liao Ren's fine work in his own hands. Fortunately, after they arrived, they carefully interrogated several people in the restaurant, and confirmed that they had nothing to do with the assassins, and it didn't matter if they were handed over at this time.

However, when he asked people to hand over all these dozens of people to the other party, Sun Tu still said with a heavy face: "Renbenhou has been handed over to you now, but you all owe me an explanation." Today, in full view of everyone, I have been assassinated, and if I had not been lucky, I am afraid that I would have been killed by thieves. Since you Kaifeng Mansion is in charge of the law and order of the Jingshi, it is your responsibility to find out the assassin for me as soon as possible. At this time, Ben Hou will play Your Majesty, I hope you will not let me down! ”

When the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who came to ask for someone heard this, they immediately felt embarrassed, this matter is really difficult to handle. But after facing Sun Tu's eyes full of seriousness and threat, he could only whisper yes, and then retreated with apprehension.

And when the people from the Criminal Department also got up to say goodbye, Sun Tu mentioned again: "By the way, the leakage of the bow and crossbow is not only related to the Liao people's spies, but also related to a crossbow master named Cheng Fang in the bow and crossbow courtyard. ”

The meaning in these words is very clear, don't think about fooling things over like this, anyway, as long as Sun Tu has a clue, he will report it according to the truth. This made the hearts of those officials of the Criminal Department sink suddenly, this case is more tricky than imagined, but the hot potato has already been taken, so it can only be investigated head-on.

It wasn't until these people left that some of their subordinates said quite dissatisfiedly: "General, let's just hand over all the people?" We've worked so hard for so long, and you're still ...... But don't you even have the right and merit to ask a little bit? ”

Even Di Yingyang felt a little difficult to accept: "Yes, General, especially the matter of the assassins, if you don't find out, it's really hard to feel at ease." ”

"That's why I put pressure on the people of Kaifeng Mansion to help me find clues, at least it can be used to knock the mountain and shock the tiger and shake those thieves out of the shadows!" Sun Tu said slowly: "And we have also confirmed, the people brought back from the hotel have nothing to do with this matter, so don't be too embarrassed." Now the top priority is to find clues from those two corpses, I think with Kaifeng Mansion's ability to investigate the case, I should be able to find something soon. ”

"Are we just looking at ourselves and doing nothing?" Di Yingyang muttered.

"Of course we have something to do, and I've actually found some clues." Sun Tu said, sweeping over the trusted brothers in front of him: "Think about it, why am I being assassinated today? Who would have such courage and ability? ”

After thinking about it, everyone put forward a guess: "Isn't it the same party of the Liao people, their assassination is fake, and the rescue is true, but the result is unsuccessful?" ”

Sun Tu shook his head and denied this speculation: "Impossible, because these assassins have obviously always mastered our whereabouts, otherwise it would be impossible to seize such an opportunity." It's a pity that we were bent on tracking down the location of the Liao people's spies before, and we relaxed our own safety, so that they came to the back. But because of this, we can be sure that they have nothing to do with the Liao spies, otherwise they could have warned us earlier, sabotaged our whole plan, and at the worst, they could have allowed the comrades in the small hotel to escape earlier. ”

Di Yingyang's mind was not slow, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "What the general said is, and judging from their performance from the assassination to the retreat, they didn't care about those Liao spies at all. If it were me, even if I couldn't save people, I would have to kill people and kill people. ”

"That's right, so I can be sure that the assassins have nothing to do with the Liao."

"Then do you have any enemies who want to put you to death at all costs? Assassinating you as a marquis from the imperial court is a big case, what a grudge it must be? Di Yingyang frowned deeply: "And if you can use crossbow arrows, this force must be not small, and it must be able to rank in Tokyo City." ”

"Yes, but it should be possible to rule out the Forbidden Army, as they have no grudges against me, and there are no markings on the bows and arrows they left behind. As for the people who have made enemies with me, there have been quite a few recently, but they haven't reached such a serious level. Sun Tu said, with a smile on his face.

This made everyone a little unacceptable, saying that you were stabbed in public, not only did you not jump like thunder, you were nervous and scared, how did you look quite happy?

Feeling the doubts in everyone's hearts, Sun Tu smiled again: "Just because of this, in fact, the identities of those assassins have been revealed. In terms of hatred against me, in terms of lawless courage, combined with urgency and strength, who else would do that but the ditch rats in the resurgence of Sanssouci Cave? ”

"The people of Sanssouci Cave?" Everyone suddenly fell into deep thought, although they had only been in Tokyo for a short time, they had already heard of these guys who had been causing trouble in Tokyo for a long time. Di Yingyang raised his eyebrows: "These disasters have indeed become more and more bold recently, and the people in Beijing have suffered from them. But somehow, the security yamen such as Kaifeng Mansion have been taking them without any ......"

"yes, I didn't expect that after a few years, they would not only resurge, but also become more and more rampant. Lao Cui had warned me before, saying that some of them were plotting to seek revenge on me, but choosing to do it at this time shows that I am afraid that I am about to catch their tails. ”

"What do you mean by that, General?" Everyone was a little confused again, and they had never done anything to the rats in the Sanssouci Cave these days.

Sun Tu glanced at them: "Have you forgotten what we were all checking before we caught the sultry and spies?" ”

Someone immediately reacted: "The general means that the case of Zhou Xiong that we investigated is related to them?" ”

"I also had doubts before, how could ordinary street splashes dare to kill people at will, especially those who were carefully prepared, and attacked my master. Now the answer is clear, and it is clear that it is the work of these lawless ditch rats! An assassination made Sun Tu connect several seemingly unrelated things: "Only they will kill people by vicious means, maybe they killed my master just to take revenge on me!" At this, his face darkened again, and if that were the case, the guilt in his heart would be even heavier.

"Is it really going to be these little things?" Di Yingyang still couldn't believe it. Even if he just said that the other party was a troublemaker, he actually despised them quite in his heart. After all, the guys in Sanssouci Cave are just bullying and bullying ordinary people, they never dare to be enemies of the government, and as for attacking high-ranking officials, it is even more unheard of.

"Don't underestimate them, these people have much more means and courage than we thought. Over the years, many children of rich and noble families have been taken captive, most of them are from their handiwork, do you really think they dare not attack officials? Sun Tu sneered: "What's more, if I continue to investigate the case again, I'm afraid their tails will be completely exposed." ”

"What do you mean?"

Yang Huaichang ...... I think the breakthrough should be with him and his family. "Sun Tu is very determined. Because this assassination only happened when he found Yang Huaichang's head, excluding the Liao people's spies, only this case can be contacted. So next, as long as you dig deep into the affairs of Yang Huaichang's family, you can turn out these guys hiding in the shadows!

In a luxurious study, a father and son are talking.

"You're behind the day, aren't you?" Father asked with a tiger face.

The son bowed his head and looked weak: "Father knows everything? ”

"Hmph, now that it's spread all over the city of Tokyo, you are really so daring, you actually dare to attack the third-rank official of the imperial court, the marquis of Qinfeng."

"Hmph, he's just a third-grade official who's just lucky, what's it? It seems to me that this is an incompetent drunken man, and I have wanted to kill him for a long time! Since ......"

The son's words were interrupted by the father's heavy slap: "Ridiculous! I know that you have a grudge against that Sun Tu, and I also have a grudge against him, but revenge doesn't come like this. Do you know how much trouble this can bring? If you can kill him, it will be enough, and now that he is still alive, he will definitely not give up. And his ability, hmph, as long as there is a slight omission, he will be able to find out the true identity of those people under you. Don't forget, he had a massacre in Tokyo years ago, do you think those shady guys can really compete with it? He still has a tiger army in his hands! Also, if those people do fall into his hands, will they help you keep it a secret? ”

A fierce questioning made his son's face become more and more ugly, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Dad, Sun Tu is by no means as powerful as you say, not only do I have so many available people, but also a hole card that he would never think of, and he can kill him at that time!" ”

"Hmph, I said, don't do anything about it, or I'll send you out of Tokyo. Also, you have to cut off all contact with them immediately, whether they live or die, it has nothing to do with us! In exchange, his father made a categorical decision.

For a while, the atmosphere in the study became more and more solemn, but when the son did not dare to disobey his father's will after all, he could only bow his head.
