"It's a good knife! The knife edge has not been rolled for decades, and it is as sharp as ever. Tong Guan sighed in admiration after carefully examining the treasure knife in his hand, and then returned the knife in the sheath, and smiled at Sun Tu, who took advantage of today's Xiu Mu to bring the treasure knife sold by Yang Zhi to meet him: "But I really can't imagine that the disciples of the Yang family will now be reduced to the point of selling their ancestors' weapons." ”

Sun Tu bowed slightly in his seat before he smiled: "It's also because he is not lucky enough that he will fall into such a situation." As he spoke, he briefly told what happened to Yang Zhi, especially mentioning that he was kicked out of the mansion by Gao Yu, so that he had no long belongings and had to pawn the treasure knife.

Tong Guan smiled and nodded: "This Yang Zhi is indeed a little undeserved to flee in fear of crime after the accident of Huashigang, and it is reasonable for Gao Taiwei to make this decision." It's just that one thing is not right, since it can't help him clear his name, he shouldn't pocket his money. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan thinks so too. And Yang Zhi may be a little lacking in responsibility, but he is indeed a usable material, and if he can be included in the army, he will definitely be able to make achievements. He has a family history, whether it is swords, guns and martial arts, or leading troops to fight, he is not weaker than an idle general, and the lower officer feels that Tong Shuai You may be able to use him. Sun Tu said a few good words for Yang Zhi.

Tong Guan pondered for a moment and then said, "If you just take him under your command, it will naturally not be difficult. But he was already a military attache in front of the palace at the beginning, although his position was not high, after all, he had a serious background, and he was unwilling to start as an ordinary soldier. But if you want to promote a criminal officer who has absconded again, there must be a lot of obstacles. ”

"The lower officials understand, but with Tong Shuai's prestige in the army, it shouldn't be difficult to promote Yang Zhi to a general."

"It's not difficult, but you have to have a suitable opportunity first." Tong Guan shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to stop Gao Yu's mouth." "He has always had a dislike for Gao Yu, so when he heard that Yang Zhi was driven out by Gao Yu, he really moved his mind, but there must be a valid reason.

This time Sun Tu really didn't know how to answer, in fact, even he himself couldn't be promoted because he was pressed by Gao Yu, and it can be seen from here how strong Gao Yu's constraints on Tong Guan are. Just because Gao Yu is a civil official, he can use civil power to control the military, so that Tong Guan, whose official rank is much higher than his own, cannot promote his subordinates as he wants.

After his face changed several times, Tong Guan spoke again: "You let him stay in the capital for a long time, and when he has the opportunity, the old man will transfer him to the army." As long as he has made real achievements on the battlefield, he is not afraid that he will be a hindrance again. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Sun Tu agreed, and then did not disturb the other party's rest or meet other guests, and said goodbye and went out. But just as he walked out of the side door of Tong's Mansion and thought about whether to go back to the police station to have a look, he saw two subordinate servants waiting in the corner with anxious faces, and as soon as he saw him come out, he hurriedly came up: "Dutou, you can be regarded as coming out......

"Huh? Is there something going on in the police station? Sun Tu frowned and asked. Obviously, these two people came to report the news when they learned from their families that they had come to Tongfu, and judging by their anxious and uneasy appearances, they knew that the trouble must be small.

Sure enough, I heard one person say urgently: "Just an hour ago, someone from the Liao State Mission had a conflict with the merchants in Dongshi, and several of our brothers were injured. Before we came out, Shen Dutou had already brought his brothers over......"

When Sun Tu heard this, his face sank even more, and he immediately came to his mount in two steps, and after turning over, he said to the two people: "I'll go over and take a look, and you will follow!" Before they could reply, he whipped his whip and urged his horses to trot toward the East Market, which was only three squares away.

In addition to small markets such as Xiangguoji Temple and various markets, the Great Song Dynasty inherited the habits of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and set up two cities in the city of Tokyo. The former is just a small market for ordinary people to meet their household needs, but when they really want to buy and sell large goods, such as large timber or a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, people will still choose to go to the east and west markets to find someone to trade. Every day, the total amount of goods traded in Guangdong City reaches hundreds of thousands, which can be regarded as an extremely important place in the eastern part of the city.

It is precisely because of this that whether it is a gangster like the Shunshui Gang, or those gentlemen who like to cause trouble, they will not go to Dongshi to mess around, and the security station will send two or three people there on weekdays. Unexpectedly, the Liao people actually made a disturbance in Dongshi today, which Sun Tu couldn't accept no matter what.

After getting off the horse and entering the market gate, he saw a large circle of people not far ahead, all of whom stretched their necks and looked inside.

Sun Tu didn't delay any longer, and immediately led the horse and walked over quickly, this is the people on the periphery have seen him, so they have to avoid it, shouting: "It's Sun Dutou who is here, hurry up and let Dutou go in to preside over justice!" Now in the eastern part of the city, Sun Tu's fame and prestige have long overshadowed many officials, and he is a fair and strict representative in the eyes of the people.

Sun Tu passed through the people on the inner and outer three floors, and when he entered the heart, he found that dozens of his subordinates were surrounding the three Liao people with angry faces, and there were still a few pools of blood on the ground, which was really shocking.

When he saw that there were Tang Feng and Gao Shan's younger brother among the servants who surrounded the Liao, and now he had taken the senior name Gao Shi, Sun Tu was even more surprised, this was everyone in the security station who came - Tang Feng's injuries were not completely healed, and Gao Shi was too rusty, and usually these two people only did some idle chores in the security station.

At this time, Cui Luoshang in the crowd also saw Sun Tu appear, so he shouted excitedly: "Sun Dutou is here, you have to call the shots for Shen Dutou and them, these Liao dogs are really hateful, and they suddenly attacked and injured Shen Dutou just now." ”

"What?" Sun Tu's face darkened again, and he finally stepped in front of his brothers, his gaze quickly swept over the three Liaoren. These three people are burly, with their legs with a compass formed by riding a horse all year round, their faces are fierce, and they still have a cold and shining saber in their hands.

It's a pity that none of the people present can understand their Khitan dialect, and the interpreter who should be with them doesn't know where to go at this time, so their words are completely chicken and duck.

"Old Shen, is he seriously injured?" Sun Tu didn't rush to pay attention to the few people in front of him, and asked casually.

"I was just stabbed in the shoulder, and two other brothers were also injured by the sudden outburst of these three Liao dogs. In addition, several merchants who had been trading with them were also injured by them, and they were all sent to the nearby medical clinic for bandaging treatment. If it weren't for the insidious sneak attack of these guys, Shen Dutou would not have been injured at all. ”

Sun Tu nodded, with his understanding of Shen Liang's skills, if these three people could really hurt him in a head-to-head fight, I am afraid that the others might not be able to trap the other three of them. Of course, this does not rule out that Shen Liang has some concerns, so he will be taken advantage of by the Liao.

Thinking of this, Sun Tu dispelled the idea of letting others come forward with him. These officers seemed to be emotional, but in fact, they were still a little timid in their hearts, for fear that they would really hurt these people from the Liao State Mission and bring trouble to themselves. Once you are tied up to fight, it is easy to get injured and become a burden.

So he only narrowed his eyes, and suddenly snatched the Qi Mei stick of a subordinate next to him, and he rushed over with an arrow step, and the tip of the stick hurriedly picked the Liao man in the front, and shouted in his mouth: "You dare to commit crimes and hurt people in my Tokyo city, this official, as the head of Kaifeng Prefecture, has the right to arrest you, and you will be arrested quickly!" As he spoke, his hand moved unabated, and the stick stabbed the man head-on to the bridge of his nose.

This time it really surprised the three Liaoren. Although they didn't know Sun Tu's identity, but seeing that he was coming, everyone avoided him, and guessed that his status was not low, and they thought that this person would calm down the incident first and then find an interpreter to negotiate with him, but he didn't expect him to start without saying a word.

The Liao man hurriedly shook his head to dodge, and at the same time, the knife in his hand had already slashed through an arc towards Sun Tu's chest and abdomen, and the momentum was really not small. At the same time, the other two also swung their knives and pounced, one stopped and slashed, and the other swung a knife to slash at Sun Tu's legs, the moves were fierce, leaving almost no room for anything.

Just when the people around him were exclaiming, scolding the Liao people for being insidious and shameless, Sun Tu's body suddenly twisted, and at the same time, his wrist flipped over, and at the same time he flashed the first knife, the stick that stabbed out had turned into a downward pressure, and it happened to hit the right shoulder of the Liao man who was holding a knife because of his tricks.

There was a bang and a miserable snort one after another, and as soon as the Liao man's hand loosened and his body fell, the man had fallen to the ground. The blow was so powerful that it not only broke his shoulder blade, but also knocked him over.

And after a move, Sun Tu's movements on his hands did not slow down, the stick in his hand turned over like a strange python, suddenly turned in the air, and actually used the tail of the stick to block a knife towards his waist, and at the same time, he exerted his strength under his feet, his body had taken off and swept into the air, and he easily avoided the attack from the next plate.

And just when the Liao people who attacked him were about to collect the recruit and attack again, Sun Tu's feet in the air suddenly jumped out quickly, and he accurately kicked the opponent's wrist with a knife and the chin exposed because he was busy changing his moves, kicking the eight-foot-tall Liao man screaming, turning over in the air, and slamming to the ground.

This time frightened the last Liao man even more, and he hurriedly withdrew and retreated, not daring to fight Sun Tu head-on.

Don't look at Sun Tu's ability to break the enemy in just a few moves, it looks easy, but in fact, this is the result of his full effort. If it weren't for the guidance of Zhou Tong during this period of time, he had greatly improved his fists, feet, guns and sticks martial arts, and knew that the stick technique could not only resist the enemy in the front, but also attack and defend at will in the middle and even the tail of the stick.

And now that he has knocked down two Liao people in a row, Sun Tu's heart is even more shocked, he will not let go of the last person, and immediately rushed over with an arrow step, and the stick in his hand was like a poisonous dragon out of the hole, straight to the opponent's chest.

But just as this move was about to hit the target's chest, an eager voice sounded from outside the crowd: "No! Stop! ”
