The sun sinks in the west, the moon rises in the east, and the lights in Tokyo are beginning to shine, and the light and shadow are dark.

The front division of the palace, which should have been dispersed early, was brightly lit today, and all the officials and officials were present, even if they didn't have any official business to do, they were still pretending to be here, and if it had been another time, except for a few officials on duty, it would have already become empty. And the reason for this is that only today Taiwei Gao Yu is still in the yamen, which causes his subordinates to dare not leave at will.

The officials below didn't know that Gao Taiwei didn't have the heart to pay attention to them at all at this time, and as the news came back one by one, his heart was a little confused, and his brows were wrinkled deeper and deeper: "First surrounded the Yan family's shop, then the Gu family's firm, and now he has gone to the Xicheng warehouse, what does he want to do with this Sun Tu?" "The uneasiness is even heavier.

With a burst of footsteps, a cronie passed back an important piece of news: "Tai Lieutenant, Yue Hou suddenly led someone to stop the convoy of the Gu family firm leaving the city outside the Kaiyuan Gate, and found a large number of prohibited items from it!" Also, he has now sent someone to spread the word to the Tiger Army, saying that he is going to surround the Gu family's house and not let anyone leave. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yu subconsciously slapped his palm on the case: "He's so bold!" He really dared to attack the Gu family directly! "This thing does sound too unreasonable, even if Sun Tu returned to Tokyo not long ago, he has no experience in officialdom, but just looking at the Gu family's ability to make such a big deal, you can know that the other party has a big backer behind him, isn't he afraid of setting himself on fire?

Of course, if Sun Tu is wiped out by the forces behind the Gu family, this will be a good thing for Gao Yu, but what Gao Yu is worried about is that he will also be implicated. After all, the current Sun Tu is under his command, and anyone will take it for granted that all this is from his Gao Taiwei's instructions. And as far as he knows, behind the Gu family is a certain high-ranking official in the Yushitai, and behind it, there is Liang Shicheng, who has won the trust of the Son of Heaven!

Even if Liang Shicheng is put aside, the Yushitai alone is enough to give people a headache. That group of crows is the most noisy, but once they are really entangled by them, even if they are favored, they will be in constant trouble.

"This guy is really a troublemaker, and he has only been in office for a few days, and he has caused such a big disaster." Gao Yu became more and more angry, and he really wanted to remove Sun Tu's official position, but this was unrealistic after all. And after calming down for a while, he thought of one more thing, Sun Tu is by no means a fool who doesn't know how to advance and retreat, he dares to do such a thing in Tokyo, he must have something to rely on, so what could it be?

After a moment, he asked solemnly, "Do you know what those forbidden things are?" ”

"Our people are far away, and we haven't found out yet, so it should be salt or wine and other things that are forbidden to be sold privately." This one didn't know the inside story, so he guessed casually.

Gao Yu shook his head and denied: "Impossible, with the net worth of the Gu family, these things can be sold through formal channels, and there is no need to take this risk at all." These things are only a lot of profit, which can compare to spices and other profiteering things. ”

When he said this, he saw another subordinate hurrying over, and this person's face was about to look much more solemn, and even brought a little panic: "Tai Wei, there is conclusive news from the side of Kaiyuanmen, the Gu family caravan that was detained by Sun Tu actually concealed a large number of bows and crossbows and wound medicine, and it seems that they are going to be transported to the border of our Great Song Dynasty...... In addition, Sun Tu had already taken people to take these things and went straight to Gu's house. ”

"What......" Rao was already a little prepared, but after hearing this, Gao Taiwei was still shocked, and stood up suddenly, "They are so bold!" "This time the matter is really big, no matter who it is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it anymore!

The Great Song Dynasty developed commerce, but it also stipulated that many goods could only be sold exclusively, such as wine, salt, iron, and even tea...... However, although the sale of these things is prohibited, the people will still smuggle them in private, as long as these merchants can get the relevant people of the government, etc., they can make the government turn a blind eye to this, so as to obtain a lot of benefits.

However, crossbows and wound medicine are definitely prohibited among the prohibited items that cannot be touched at all. Not to mention the common people and businessmen who sell it, even if the officials dare to secretly hide more than three or five crossbow machines at home, as long as they are reported and found out, they will be accused of conspiracy, and even if they don't die, they have to be distributed for 3,000 miles, and this life is completely over.

If it is an ordinary person, the situation is even more serious, and if it is implicated, the entire family may be destroyed overnight. Especially when it is found out that these things are to be transported to the border and sold to the enemy country, it will be a great crime to collaborate with the enemy, and it is not too much to exterminate the three tribes.

Even a highly favored minister like Gao Yu would not dare to have anything to do with such a sensitive matter, which made his expression extremely grim, and his breathing became heavy: "Where did Sun Tu get the news, where did he have the courage to publicize such a thing directly in public?" How could this matter, as a small palace situ Yuhou, be able to interfere with? Isn't he afraid that this huge wave will rise and swallow himself first? ”

Soon after this series of thoughts arose in his heart, he suddenly changed his mind again: "No, Sun Tu is not such a reckless person, he must have some kind of tricks, maybe everything has already been arranged, is he trying to use this to deal with me?" No, I must not give him this opportunity, I must completely dissociate myself from this matter! "Gao Yu has been able to hold power in the position of Tai Lieutenant for many years, relying on this means of seeking good fortune and avoiding harm, and now he no longer wants to use this matter to rectify and deal with Sun Tu, it is better to let himself withdraw first, and if he wants to deal with Sun Tu, there will be a chance in the future.

With his mind set, he walked straight out of the public hall and casually ordered: "Starting tomorrow, this official will be sick in love, and everything has nothing to do with me. Do you know what I mean? ”

"Humble duty understands." There are confidants all around him, how can he still not understand his thoughts, how Sun Tu tosses outside, anyway, it has nothing to do with their palace bosses, especially Gao Taiwei. This fact is too dangerous, and the credit may not be visible, but it is a trap, but it is full of eyes, so let Sun Tu make trouble by himself.

Almost at the same time as Gao Yu, Cai Jing, who had already returned home and was eating on time, also knew about the incident that happened in front of Kaiyuan. Compared with Gao Yu's panic, Taishi Cai seemed quite calm and calm, and even the piece of tofu he just picked up was not damaged in the slightest, but the wrinkles on his old face moved slightly, and then he laughed again: "Since someone wants to make waves in Tokyo, let the wind and waves be bigger." Those people behind the Gu family have also gained a lot of benefits in the past few years, and it is time to pay the price. Don't we have some people who can't find a good send, and now is the opportunity, drive these people away, and the places will be vacated? ”

Taishi Cai has been able to stand in the court for many years, and he has his own clever means. When this storm suddenly arises, many people see danger, but he sees it as an opportunity, a great opportunity for his henchmen to further control the power of the DPRK and China!

"Go, let the people in the Imperial Observatory have a pen, some people have occupied the position for many years, and it's time to move it out and let the young people with more ability come and sit." Cai Jing waved his hand casually.

"Taishi, what about the Gu family and Sun Tu?" There are still a lot of officials out there waiting to do what they are told.

"Let them make trouble, and the bigger the storm and waves, the better. Even if some water splashes at our feet, it doesn't matter, the clear ones will clean themselves. Cai Jing finished speaking casually, and then slowly put a piece of tofu that was already slightly cold into his mouth.

Of course, not all officials can watch the fire from across the strait like Cai Jing, and they can't take advantage of the fire, nor can they withdraw to protect themselves like Gao Yu. Many people became extremely alarmed when they learned the news a little later, because the Gu family firm was really inextricably linked with too many officials, and now they had such a catastrophe on their way, and once the prison really started, the number of people involved would be too great.

What's even more troublesome is that it's late at night. Although there is no curfew in Tokyo, going out in tandem at this time is bound to attract attention, and then it will become a target and make the situation more and more dangerous. In the end, most people can only choose to wait for news at home, and only a few people start to run for a solution, but everyone is in danger, but there is nothing to be done......

Of course, if there is anyone in Tokyo who is most frightened by this, it is the people who take care of their families. When he learned this series of news, it was already the end of the first shift, and Gu Youzhi, the head of the Gu family at that time, was still thinking about how to find a relationship to solve Sun Tu tomorrow.

Because not long ago, Sun Tu led people to surround the head office of his own commercial house, and the news that he went to the warehouse to stir up trouble had just been passed back by his subordinates. Recently, because of old age and decrepitude, the old lady Gu who handed over the affairs of the shopping mall to his son was quite angry, not only feeling that Sun Tu and other soldiers were bold, but also dissatisfied that his son was weak and bullying, and even planned to find a few backers to help him tomorrow.

As a result, as soon as he made his words clear, such an even more terrible news came, which completely stunned the old man: "How is this possible? My Gu family has always paid attention to their own business, how could they traffick prohibited things such as bows and crossbows! But as soon as the words came out, he suddenly woke up to the fact that the profits of the firm had been increasing recently, and last year alone was nearly seventy percent more profitable than in previous years.

At this moment, the old man was completely stunned, and a deep despair quickly spread in his heart.

At the same time, another family member ran to report in a panic: "My lord is not good, outside, a large number of forbidden troops outside suddenly surrounded our family...... "It's time to come, it's finally here."
