As for why Tong Guan compromised and acquiesced in Gao Yu's hand to Qingzhou, Sun Tu had his own judgment. In his opinion, Tong Guan was forced by the situation, and because Qingzhou was not in his control, and Sun Tu's death made him have no better choice. In the final analysis, what he abandoned was not Sun Tu, a capable subordinate, but these soldiers and people in Qingzhou who had little to do with him.

But now, since Sun Tu is alive and has returned to Qingzhou and regained control here, the situation is completely different, how can Tong Guan bow to Gao Yu again?

"Although the words of the capital eunuch are reasonable, but ......" Huang Wenbing still hesitated a little after understanding, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Sun Tu already understood what he was worried about, so he smiled and said: "Actually, I know very well why Tong Guan made concessions and compromises, just because he went to Liao State this time not only in vain, but also caused a lot of trouble, which made Gao Yu and them seize the handle and take the opportunity to cut his power." But now that I'm back, things are very different. Speaking of this, he took out a sheepskin drawing from his sleeve: "As long as this drawing is sent to Bianjing and handed over to Tong Guan, it is enough for him to straighten his chest and speak in the court!" ”

This seemingly simple sheepskin map is the Liao border army defense map that Sun Tu received from the secret agent with the wind and was brought back by him after several rounds. He had been hiding this blueprint in the Ring Realm until he had just taken it out.

After listening to his explanation, even Wu Song's eyes lit up: "This map is a good thing, and handing it over is indeed a great achievement." ”

"And what I want to give Tong Guan is not only this great achievement, but I have also made great contributions to my Great Song Dynasty in Western Xia in the past six months. Now the summer civil strife is endless, in the final analysis, it is because of me. Sun Tu smiled and simply told him about his experience in Western Xia, which made the two of them dumbfounded, if they weren't familiar with Sun Tu and knew that he wouldn't lie about such things, they would have thought it was a big deal.

was alone in another country, and not only returned safely, but also turned the Western Xia court upside down, making his father and son turn against him, and this kind of credit is simply difficult to describe.

"Both...... Eunuch, you have done such a great thing in the Xia Kingdom, and they can still let you return safely? Surprised, Huang Wenbing couldn't help but swallow his saliva violently and said in a daze.

"It's all my luck, and it's probably a thrill. Fortunately, everything has passed, and after this incident, it will be impossible for Western Xia to free up his hands to threaten the safety of the western part of my Great Song Dynasty for at least a few years. Sun Tu smiled casually: "So if I give some of this credit to Tong Guan, do you think he will still be afraid of Gao Yu and others?" He just said that I went to Western Xia to follow his orders, and the emperor would naturally reward him with a big reward. ”

"If that's the case, it's really ......," Huang Wenbing nodded thoughtfully. But then he frowned and said: "It's just that this matter happened in Western Xia after all, what if those people in the court refuse to accept it?" I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to prove this, right? "Da Song can't let Xia Ren testify about this.

Sun Tu had already prepared: "When I was in Xingqing Mansion before, I also saw Li Shilang of the Ministry of Rites in the mansion of his privy envoy Uguruya, and he can still testify about this matter. As for how to make him speak, Tong Guan naturally has a way. Speaking of which, the two of them have no doubts, so it seems that they can borrow the momentum of Tong Guan again, and under his protection, Qingzhou is firmly in their own hands.

In fact, Sun Tu did not mention another extremely critical point, that is, about Gao Xiang's identity and their desire to frame him for plotting rebellion.

Why did Gao Xiang do this, to impose such a charge on a man who seemed to him to have been dead for a long time? Of course, it was impossible for him to avoid worries, because Qingzhou was already in his hands at that time, and Sun Tu's subordinates had already been controlled by him, and he never imagined that Sun Tu would come back alive, so the only explanation was that he was instructed to do so.

And as Gao Yu's nephew, he naturally doesn't have to think much about who will be instructed. As for why Gao Yu did this? Xiang Zhuang Wujian is intended for Pei Gong, and his target should be Tong Guan behind Sun Tu!

Sun Tu is the person who was recommended and promoted by Tong Guan, once he is really convicted of plotting misdeeds, what crime should Tong Guan be guilty of as the master? At that time, even if the emperor trusted him again, he was afraid that he would be degraded far away, and he would not dare to entrust him with important tasks.

It can be said that Gao Yu's hand is really beautiful, first using Tong Guan's defeat in Liao to force him to relinquish control of Qingzhou, and then let his cronies collect accusations about Sun Tu in Qingzhou, and then use this to turn around and attack Tong Guan. Once it is done, it is easy to drive out Tong Guan!

However, he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that Sun Tu would be able to return safely. And now, what Sun Tu has to do is to send that piece of music to Bianjing with those credits and speeches, and Tong Guan will naturally know what to do.

Even if he Sun Tu did a bit too much in Qingzhou, and killed officials at will without playing the imperial court again, Tong Guan could always help him cover up. What's more, he didn't plan to let Gao Xiang and the others go so easily, the mistakes they made in Qingzhou were not something that could be forgiven with a single slash!

Since he Sun Dujian had taken all the details into account, Huang Wenbing and Wu Song didn't say anything more, and everything was according to his decision.

In the afternoon of the same day, the government began to accept the lawsuits of the people in the city, but anyone who had a grievance could go to the court to complain.

As a result, the most spectacular complaint scene in the history of Qingzhou City appeared in front of the prefect's yamen, and the people who queued up to complain were all discharged for miles. When they saw this spectacular scene, everyone really intuitively understood how many sins Gao Xiang and others had done here in the past six months.

When Gao Xiang and other officials, who were the defendants, were escorted to the hall and knelt to hear the trial, they were even more frightened by the endless stream of bitter masters in front of them. At this time, they didn't even have the courage to refute or complain, but they just listened to the people report their perverse actions and the crimes that caused the destruction of many families, and finally their faces were like ashes......

This spectacle of the civil prosecutor lasted for three days, and when Sun Tu sorted out the relevant complaints, they were several feet thick, and it was really shocking to watch. Sun Tu patted the complaint in front of him, stared at the official who had long been numb, and said: "In the past, I heard that someone was so evil that it was difficult to write, and I still didn't understand it. But today, several people really expressed this statement perfectly. Gao Xiang, Zhang Qing, Li Nian......" He called the names of these people one by one, and finally his face sank, and he asked, "At this time, what else do you have to say?" ”

After Gao Xiang hesitated for a while, he laughed miserably: "What do you have to say...... It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a thief, and now that you are sitting on top of it, why should we bother to complain? But if you want to kill us like this, I'm afraid it will also violate my Great Song Dynasty's decree!" At this time, his only hope was that he would be escorted to Bianjing alive, at least he would have a backer there.

But Sun Tu immediately broke his illusion: "You have harmed countless soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou, and you still want to live?" Hormo has been waiting for you down there for a long time, and now it's time to get you on your way! As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice: "Come on, let them sign and draw a charge, and then pull them to the cross street, cut off the city, and think that the latecomers will learn from it!" ”

Originally, Sun Tu hated to kill these guys, but there was no one in the city who knew this craft - in fact, there was no torture of Ling Chi in the Great Song Dynasty now, and now the heaviest punishment was to behead them in half - so they could only be cheapened.

And after hearing Sun Tu's order, several guys who were already dead in their hearts were really panicked, and hurriedly twisted their bodies and struggled, shouting that they were wronged, and they were forced by Gao Xiang to do something that went against their hearts.

And Gao Xiang shouted loudly: "Sun Tu, you are lynching, this is an indiscriminate killing of court officials, and the court will definitely not allow it...... I'm the nephew of Gao Taiwei's clan, you can't ...... me like that" In a panic, he could only use Gao Yu as a talisman.

Gao Yu's prestige was still somewhat useful in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, at least most officials did not dare to offend the emperor's favored ministers. But Sun Tu is obviously not among them, not to mention that he is Gao Yu's nephew this time, it is Cai Jing's son, even if the prince comes, he will definitely be killed!

Sun Tu is this attitude, and his soldiers and horses will naturally not have any worries, and dozens of soldiers will come up to the hall at the moment, and a few control officials will force them to press their own handprints on the accusations, and if they dare to push and resist, it will be a violent beating.

After suffering a lot, these people finally gave in, obediently signed their names on the indictments, and pressed their own handprints, which was regarded as admitting all the charges, and they didn't even have time to see what was written on them.

Although this seems to be a bit of a trick, Sun Tu can't care about such details at this time. Such wicked people should be dealt with by more evil means than they are!

It wasn't until hundreds of charges were confirmed by them one by one that several people collapsed to the ground, and while exchanging tears, they kept begging Sun Tu for mercy, hoping that he could spare his life. But how could he be soft-hearted at this time, so he just waved his hand and let people drag them out and drag them outside for execution.

Sun Tu didn't run to see them being tortured to relieve their hatred like many of his subordinates, but sorted out those crimes in the hall, and then picked out a few of them and put them at the top.

Gao Xiang and they couldn't have imagined that among these crimes they had admitted, there was an extremely fatal one hidden, as long as this crime was handed over to the court, not only would they be innocent, but even their families would be completely implicated, even Gao Yu would have to deal with it for a while.
