Volume 2 Tokyo Hua Menglu Chapter 43 Retreat is advancing

Tongfu mansion, the second courtyard into the courtyard, the screams made the surrounding slaves tremble for a while, and they didn't even dare to look this way, five house slaves were lined up on the ground, and the bare backs were already blurred with flesh and blood, and two of them were already silent, and there was no reaction to the sticks on their bodies.

But even so, the few house slaves who tortured did not dare to spare their hands at all, and still used all their strength to greet them, while Tong Rui, the third steward of the Tong family who was staring at all this, was full of iron, and said in a cold voice: "If the little young master can't come back tonight, not only will your dog's life not be saved, but even your family won't want to live!" It's really unreasonable, let you take the little master out, and you actually lost people! ”

Seeing that these house slaves were about to be beaten to death, none of the people around dared to come out to intercede for them. Because everyone knows that what the three stewards said is true, the little master really has to make a mistake, once the master comes back, how many people will have to accompany the funeral. Just now, hundreds of people have been sent out to look for them all over the city, and they must be found before their master returns, and the lives of these unlucky ghosts are no longer in everyone's attention.

Tong Rui was also anxious, because he was really responsible for this matter, and when the time came, the lord was angry and sent himself to the west to fight against the Xixia people, and the bitterness would be great.

Only a young man under the promenade not far away, but at this time there was a faint smile on his face, as if he was not only not anxious about the shame of his family, but also had some schadenfreude. But his smile didn't last long, because soon, a house slave stumbled in with surprise on his face: "Third steward, I found it, little master, he is finally back!" ”

"Really!" When Tong Rui heard this, he immediately turned around and grabbed the person who came, and asked urgently. Until this one nodded again and again and said: "The little young master has now entered the mansion, and the little one doesn't dare to lie!" After that, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "God bless! He didn't care about the dying guys, and rushed out in a hurry.

The young man behind stiffened when he heard this result, and with a strong hand, he actually broke a folding fan in his hand into two pieces. But soon, he quickly adjusted his mentality, put on a surprised smile, and rushed out with everyone.

At this time, in the first courtyard after the Tongfu Zhaobi, Sun Tu and Tong Yuan were already surprised by the Tong family slaves, many people rushed to check on the situation of their young master, to see if he was injured anywhere, and some people looked Sun Tu up and down with suspicious eyes, not knowing what kind of road he was.

Sun Tu had also guessed that this child's family must be either rich or expensive, but he still didn't expect this child's family to be so prominent. The Taipingfang where this mansion is located itself is a gathering place for dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, and the mansions here are all magnificent, but this children's mansion is much more magnificent than the neighbor's house next to it, covering an area of no less than dozens of acres, and the front of the gate is carved and painted, which is brilliant, which really opened his eyes.

As far as the wealth of this house is concerned, I am afraid that it can be ranked in this Bianjing City. And in this way, the identity of the master here is obvious, and he is an absolute high-ranking official in the forefront of the DPRK and China. As far as Sun Tu knows, there seems to be only one high-ranking official surnamed Tong in the court now!

Just guessing, Tong Rui had walked out quickly surrounded by a house slave, first took a closer look at his own little son who was still surrounded by people, and after being sure that he was not injured, he was completely at ease, and then his eyes also fell on Sun Tu, and asked the hao slave who had come up to greet him: "Tong Qing, who is that person?" ”

"The third steward, he said that he saved the little young master, and the little young master seems to believe in him......" Tong Qing simply said the previous thing.

Tong Rui nodded knowingly, changed his smile and came to Sun Tu with a fist and said, "Thank you for saving my little master, my Tong family is really grateful." Come, take a hundred taels of gold and give it to this strong man! ”

In the end, it is a powerful family in the capital, and it is a big deal as soon as it is shot. What is surprising is that Sun Tu just glanced at Tong Yuan, who had fallen into the arms of a servant woman and was crying, and then waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary. It's not to save people in the next place to repay, since this child is indeed yours, I am relieved and say goodbye! As he spoke, he bowed his hand slightly, and then turned to leave.

This hand made Tong Rui slightly stunned, and then shouted: "Wait!" As he spoke, he walked up to Sun Tu and solemnly bowed his hand again: "The strong man is noble, it's rude." I don't know the name of the strong man, but the Bianliang people's name? ”

"In Xia Sun Tu, a native of Yuncheng County, Shandong." Sun Tu was waiting for this question, so he reported to his home without hesitation. The thank-you gift of one hundred taels of gold was naturally extremely heavy, and ordinary people would have happily accepted it and left. But Sun Tu's vision was not so short-sighted, the other party did this obviously to completely cut off today's matter, how could there be such a cheap thing?

Now that the names are known, even if the two sides have a certain friendship, it will be easier to talk about the rest of the matter.

This cannot be said that Sun Tu is too scheming, and his kindness is not a gentleman's doing. It's really because of the various encounters in the past few days that he clearly realized the difficulties of the hierarchical Song Dynasty today, and he is an ordinary person with no backer and no background who is pressed by others to do anything, which is really uncomfortable. Now, he finally has an opportunity to associate with the powerful people, and he naturally wants to make good use of it.

"It turned out to be Sun Zhuangshi, but it was disrespectful." Tong Rui then asked, "I don't know how you saved my little master?" ”

"It's a coincidence...... Sun Tu told him what had happened before, especially when he pointed out the child he saved when he was about to return to the inn: "Although it took some hands and feet, that crutch is also easy to deal with, and I don't dare to accept this heavy gift." ”

After saying this, he took his leave again and turned to leave. He has already made it clear that if the other party understands the world, he will inevitably go to Dongcheng tomorrow to inquire about his whereabouts, and then come to the door to thank him, and as soon as he comes and goes, the initiative will fall into the hands of Sun Tu.

Of course, there is also a certain risk in this, if the people of the Tong Mansion do not investigate deeply, then he will be a bamboo basket to draw water, not only will he not get the opportunity to have further contact with the Tong family, but also throw out the hundred taels of gold that can be easily obtained. However, he believed that after the news spread, it would be impossible for the Tong family to do so in Beijing.

Tong Rui was stunned on the spot, he really didn't expect this young man to look so casual, couldn't he see that his family could give him a return that he couldn't imagine? At this time, the young man had already come to his side, and said with a smile: "This guy's plan is not small, and he actually knows that retreat is a means of advancement. ”

"Huh?" Tong Rui thought about it carefully, and also tasted the mystery, his face sank slightly, and his perception of Sun Tu was naturally much worse.

Sun Tu, who had already strode out, didn't know that he might be self-defeating, and was in a hurry to go back to the store, after all, it was not too safe to leave Ya'er there alone. But just as he stepped on the high threshold of the side door of Tong's house, a team of carriages and horses happened to come to the door, and then a boy who got out of the car shouted in surprise when he saw him: "Young master, the benefactor who saved you is here!" The voice was very loud, and it immediately attracted the few Tong family slaves and Sun Tu who were guarding the door to look at them.

At a glance, Sun Tu was also stunned: "Why are they actually them?" "That boy is the scholar next to the sick young man I met in the Wuqiu Town Pavilion before. And with this shout, the carriage curtain was lifted again, and a young man with a pale face also poked his head out in surprise, and when he saw Sun Tu, he said: "It turns out that the benefactor is really here, it really makes Tong Mu easy to find!" ”

It's really a place where they don't meet in life, just a few days, and a few of them actually met again in front of this Tongfu!
