Sun Tu's words really made several people stunned, indeed, they were only anxious to think about the Liao State spies hiding in Tokyo City, and they felt that they had already mastered a lot of clues, so they could immediately dispatch to take people. But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that there are no more further clues except for a Fan family store, and even the Fan family store is just a trick, and if you go, you will only be disappointed.

Subsequently, Di Yingyang frowned deeply: "If you say that, I'm afraid those Liao spies are already leaving Tokyo, right?" "After all, the movement caused by the forbidden army going around to take people yesterday is not small, especially in the city gate and the Gu family's mansion, as long as you are a person with a heart, you can detect something bad at the first time and want to escape.

Sun Tu said: "If we only intercepted food or a batch of wound medicine this time, maybe it would be as you said, but now that we have a batch of bows and crossbows, it will be a different matter." ”

Di Yingyang quickly understood: "You mean they will be unwilling?" ”

Sun Tu smiled, but he was not in a hurry to answer: "Let's judge the Gu family's father and son first." After saying that, the two people with rickety bodies and faltering steps were escorted into the hall, if they hadn't known their identities, everyone couldn't believe that they were actually the old and young owners of the Gu family's firm!

Although it was only a day apart, the spirit of Gu Youzhi and Gu Hui's father and son had been completely depressed, seeing that both of them seemed to be more than ten years old, their faces were full of panic and uneasiness, and they were taken to Sun Tu before and after, and they knelt down directly as soon as their legs were weak: "Sun ...... General Sun, I'm ...... My Gu family was deceived by others because of a moment of confusion, and ...... do such things."

Without waiting for Sun Tu to interrogate, Gu Youzhi had already confessed his guilt. After seeing Sun Tu search out those letters from his home, Gu Youzhi's last bit of confidence was gone, and all that was left was deep self-blame, regret and fear. Because he knows very well that this time it is a big crime of colluding with the Liao people to smuggle bows and crossbows, not to mention that his official body is only bought with money, even if it is really a high-ranking official of the fourth rank officially sealed by the imperial court, the end will not change much.

As for Gu Hui, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, he just looked up at Sun Tu with begging and panic, he was already desperate at this point, those bows and crossbows were found from the caravan cars under his command.

Sun Tu's eyes stared at them for a long time, and then he said coldly: "I think your Gu family has been deeply protected by the imperial court for many years, but unexpectedly, today you have done such a thing as a foreign enemy, Ben Hou asked you, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?" ”

Gu Youqiang lifted his spirit a little and whispered: "The villain is guilty, it is indeed that we were deceived by others and blinded by the money, so we ...... to make such a rebellious move. ”

"Really?" Sun Tu replied noncommittally, and looked at Gu Hui again: "As far as I know, everything in your Gu family's business house has been decided by you in the past few years, what do you say?" ”

"The villain, the villain is indeed greedy and taken advantage of. At first, they just bought grain and cloth from my shop at a high price, and hired a caravan from my Gu family to transport it to the north, and the villain thought it was profitable. But I didn't want them to demand more and more food in the future, and the amount of food they asked for was even larger, so I had no choice but to buy food from other places...... It's just that what I didn't expect was that last year, that person suddenly revealed his identity as a Khitan, and used this as a threat to force my Gu family firm to continue to provide them with all kinds of goods in short supply in the north, but it also made me fall deeper and deeper into ......"

Sun Tu listened to his narration expressionlessly, and everyone in the hall frowned tightly, they really didn't expect that the Liao State spy would be so patient this time, and spend a few years making the layout, no wonder the Gu family business guild would fall into it.

And Gu Youzhi was even more bitter, because he remembered that in the past two years, he had actually noticed that the profits of his own business house were indeed much more than before, but at that time, he was also blinded by interests, and only felt that his son was more capable than himself, and he was only happy and did not notice anything unusual, or he didn't want to find anything unusual at all.

After feeling the deep gaze of everyone present, Gu Hui felt even more panicked, and could only excuse himself: "But the villain really doesn't know that they are so bold that they dare to transport weapons like bows and crossbows through my Gu family firm, if I knew, even if I gave the villain more money, I wouldn't dare to agree." ”

"So all you know is that you're going to leave Tokyo with a batch of wound medicine?" Sun Tu then asked.

"Yes, exactly. After all, there were many such entrainments in the past, but most of them were salt, wound medicine and other items, but there had never been weapons such as bows and crossbows. I don't dare to hide it from the marquis, in fact, every time I transport the goods out of the city, my people will take a closer look, after all, the stakes are very high. ”

Sun Tu nodded in agreement, and then glanced at Di Yingyang and them: "In this way, it seems that they are scheming and spending a lot of time and money to make friends with your Gu family, but in fact, the ultimate goal is to get this batch of bows and crossbows that are going to be shipped out of Tokyo." ”

"I think that's it." Gu Hui is a smart person after all, he can understand it at one point, and he regrets it even more in his heart, knowing that he has actually fallen into the other party's calculations early on, and he thinks he has made a lot of money and is complacent.

Di Yingyang also understood-whether it was food, salt and medicine, and cloth, although the goods of the Great Song Dynasty were indeed much better than those produced by the Liao people, they were not guilty of buying them at a high price. Because there was actually a field between the Liao and Song dynasties, most of these goods could be circulated through formal channels, so why bother doing this and spending more money?

Only a sharp weapon in the army, such as a bow and crossbow, is completely impossible to obtain through normal channels, especially these new crossbow machines that have just been developed, which are top secrets in the army, and it is impossible to leak them. And this is the place where the Liao people are most afraid of the Great Song army, so they will not hesitate to lay out and spend a lot of effort to secretly obtain it and send it back to the Liao State.

And this also confirms Sun Tu's speculation just now, they will never be willing to leave like this. Unexpectedly, after spending a lot of money, time and energy, it failed at this last critical point, and none of the bows and crossbows were sent to the Liao State. So even if things have come to this point, those Liao State meticulous workers will still try every means to try to send the bow and crossbow out of the city again.

Sun Tu didn't dwell on this matter for too long, but quickly changed the subject: "Let me ask you, didn't you take precautions and track their location in the process of trading with them?" He asked Gu Hui, although he was greedy, but since he had been in the mall for many years, he should always have this bit of brain, especially after being threatened, he would never really struggle at all, and he had to find out the whereabouts of these people. In particular, this Tokyo is still his own land, and he has a better way to track those people.

Sure enough, Gu Hui smiled bitterly after being stunned for a moment: "Master Hou is really wise, but ......"

"As long as you can help Ben Hou catch these guys, I will definitely make a proposal to the Son of Heaven to appropriately reduce your guilt, and even if it is not good, I can protect your Gu family's bloodline!" Sun Tu quickly interrupted: "This is your last and only chance. ”

"I, I said." Now, Gu Hui has no other better choice, he can only believe what Sun Tu said, and immediately tell everything he knows.

After listening to his narration, the corners of Sun Tu's mouth unconsciously raised slightly: "It's really a good intention, no wonder I can be entrusted with a heavy task and go deep into my Bianjing City to do this business of stealing important military information." Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Youzhi again: "Okay, now it's up to you, Boss Gu, to answer a few small questions from me." Your Gu family has really developed smoothly over the years, and after the accident this time, it can actually attract many officials to come out for you, I think there must be something hidden in this, right? Tell me, who are the backers behind you, and do they know what kind of business you do on a daily basis? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Youzhi, but also Qin Hui and the others who were listening changed their faces and looked a little nervous - what is Sun Tu going to do, is he planning to make a big deal about this matter and implicate more officials?

But Sun Tu didn't give the other party more time to think at all, and walked to Gu Youzhi, who had a tangled face, and said, "At this time, do you think those backers in the past will still protect you?" No, if it were me, they would be too late to protect themselves, they would only think about how to cut off your contact with them, and even if they had the chance, they would want to kill you. So now the only one who can help you is Benhou, and you don't have to keep any secrets anymore, just tell all the officials who are close to you. Also, in addition to the Yan family's grain shop, you should have purchased a lot of grain from other places, and you should also tell these shops truthfully! Of course, you can choose not to say it, but in that case, I will have to hand you over to the Criminal Department for interrogation. And once you are out of my hands, your life and death, and the life and death of your family, will not be guaranteed. ”

This is the threat of the red fruit, but the effect is extremely good. Because they have already explained a lot of things before, they don't care about revealing more. Anyway, the Gu family is completely finished with this matter, so even if they offend those officials in the DPRK and China, it will no longer have any impact.

After only a moment of silence, they finally spoke: "I said, in addition to the Yan family, there are also the Li family, the Huang family, and the Zhen family...... More than a dozen of their shops have sold grain and rice to us. As for the backer...... the two fathers and sons glanced at each other, and finally said a name that everyone was quite familiar with: "Yushitai Wang Zhongcheng has a dry stock in my store......"

General Sun said that if you don't hand over the tickets, you will all be arrested as traitors of the Liao State, and you will all be beaten up。。。。。
