Chen Cang, who was full of horror, was pushed into the hall by someone, and after kneeling on the ground, he immediately kowtowed to Sun Tu, who was sitting on it, and begged for mercy: "Spare your life, villain...... The villain was also forced to be helpless, and he was confused for a while to do such a thing to ......"

Sun Tu looked at this person condescendingly, and there was really a feeling that you had fallen before I could exert myself. Before he could ask questions, Chen Cang actually confessed his guilt and explained, obviously he knew very well how much trouble he had caused this time, and he didn't dare to deny it in front of the government, so he simply confessed truthfully as soon as they met.

Of course, this is also a good thing for Sun Tu, at least he can spend a lot less effort, so he asked straight to the point: "Then tell the truth everything you know, why did you slander Cheng Taishou, and how did you know that Dong Dujian had a relationship with Miss Cheng?" ”

"Villain, villain actually didn't know about it, it was Yu Baosi who found me and asked the villain to expose it to Taishou. In fact, the villain also knew that this matter was very important, and he didn't want to do what he wanted at that time, but ...... They threatened the lives of the villain's family, so I had to give in. But the villain really didn't know that the matter would be so serious, if he knew that Dongping City would be broken because of this, many villagers would be harmed by the Liangshan thieves, and the villain would not dare to do such a thing even if he died. Prison Mingjian, the villain knows that he is wrong......" said, he even cried and communicated, looking regretful.

Sun Tu continued to stare at him, and said thoughtfully: "You said Yu Baosi? What is his relationship with you? Why did you choose you? ”

"That Yu Baosi is a fellow villain, a few days ago he came to Dongping to settle down and asked the villain to help, at that time I didn't know that he had already gone to Liangshan early in the morning to fall into the grass, so I had some dealings with him. But I didn't want him to blackmail me with my relatives in my hometown, and asked me to tell Taishou about Dong Dujian and Miss Cheng's private dealings, and the fact that they were married to each other. The villain also knows that he wants to kill people with a knife, but I really don't dare to refuse him, otherwise my wife and wife will be completely finished. Chen Cang continued to explain with a look of regret, looking at it really seven emotions, which was particularly convincing.

"According to you, you are forgivable for doing this?" Sun Tu asked in a flat tone.

"No, don't dare." glanced at Sun Tu carefully, but Chen Cang didn't dare to climb down the pole, still looking remorseful and guilty.

"Hmph, even if you have a thousand reasons, now that Dongping has almost fallen into the hands of thieves, and hundreds of innocent people have died because of you, I am afraid that your sin cannot be described as serious. Now this official said that you colluded with the Liangshan thieves to cooperate with the outside world, I'm afraid it's not too much, right? Sun Tu stared at him coldly: "Do you know how the imperial court will deal with you if these charges are implemented?" ”

When Chen Cang heard this, his whole body trembled like a pendulum, and his voice trembled again and again: "Prison spare your life, villain, villain really has no choice......"

"You really don't have a choice? No, you actually have a better choice, as long as you know Yu Baosi's identity and report it to Cheng Taishou or Dong Dujian in time, not only can this matter be avoided, but you can also turn around and plan it. But you, because of your own selfishness, chose to be a tiger. Therefore, the official said that you are colluding with thieves, and it is not wronged at all! That alone will be more than enough to kill you. ”

Listening to his rebuttal, Chen Cang was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he would just keep kowtowing there and begging for mercy. After Sun Tu saw that his forehead was bleeding, he changed his words: "But this official also knows that you have your own hardships, so I want to give you a chance to atone for your sins, if you can do this, everything you did before can be written off!" ”

Chen Cang's kowtowing action immediately stopped when he heard this, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at Sun Tu: "The villain obeys the orders of the eunuch......" In fact, he also guessed that Sun Tu was willing to take the time to see him, and he said so much, in addition to trying to figure out the front and back of the matter, it should also be useful to himself. So don't look at him just now looking frightened and embarrassed, in fact, he is quite confident in his heart.

Sun Tu immediately beckoned to him and asked him to step forward, and then whispered a few words. But just these few words have made Chen Cang, who was already a little calm, seem flustered again: "Xiao ...... The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't have the ability to do this......"

"This is your only chance to save your life, if you can't do it, then the official doesn't have to keep you as a sinner." Sun Tu didn't give him a chance to explain at all, and immediately said with a straight face: "Now you only have two choices, either be convicted and executed, or do as I say." ”

In the face of Sun Tu's crisp and tough statement, Chen Cang could only accept his fate even though he was entangled. After a while, he nodded in horror and said, "The villain is ...... when he receives the order."

"Very good, I will arrange for you to leave Dongping tomorrow, as for how to explain to people, it depends on your own ability. Also, you first write down your identity and the purpose of your visit, and sign it, I think this will always be difficult for you, the prefect's staff, right? Sun Tu said with just a wave of his hand, and someone sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

At this point, Chen Cang could only act according to orders no matter how much he had concerns, and soon left relevant notes on the paper, signed his name, and left his fingerprints. It wasn't until he put away this note that Sun Tu ordered someone to take him down to rest, and it was only at this time that Dong Ping, who had endured his anger and watched the whole process, said: "Sun Dujian, the last general always feels that there are all untruths in his statement, and this person should have something to hide." ”

"Of course, as I said before, if it was just Yu Baosi using his family's safety as a threat, would Chen Cang make such a bold decision? Isn't he afraid that after the matter is leaked, the government will convict him, and his family will also be implicated? Moreover, as long as you know about the conspiracy of the Liangshan bandits early in the morning and make targeted arrangements, this battle will be won, and will the government not care about his and his family's lives at that time? Sun Tu actually saw the problem a long time ago, but he didn't break it: "So I can be sure that he must have another handle in the hands of the other party because of this, and whether this matter can be known to the government, he has to take a risk." ”

"Then you still use him to do such a big thing......" Dong Ping said with some unacceptability.

Sun Tu smiled: "Whether this person has done anything wrong, and it is not a problem at all if he has any tricks in the hands of Liangshan thieves." I only used him because he happened to be the right person, and even if he failed, it wouldn't be a loss for me. Moreover, I believe that in order to save his life, he will definitely do his best to do things well, and judging from the fact that he can quickly gain Cheng Wanli's trust, he should have some means and skills, as long as he uses it in the right place, he may be able to really do miraculous feats. ”

Although he still couldn't understand Sun Tu's arrangement, Dong Ping didn't raise any more objections, but just bowed his head and said yes.

Sun Tu looked at the young general in front of him with admiration, who was only a few years older than himself and looked heroic. This person is not only good at martial arts, but also has a very good mind, Chen Cang's thoughts just now may not be able to be seen by ordinary people, but he has not escaped Dong Ping's eyes. In addition, he has always been loyal to his duties, and he is a rare general who is willing to train among the military generals of various state capitals in Shandong, which makes Sun Tu have the heart to recruit talents.

Without too much temptation and hypocrisy, Sun Tu immediately said: "Can Dong Dujian intentionally go to Qingzhou with me?" ”

"Ah......" Dong Ping was stunned, and then he was a little embarrassed: "It is an honor for a subordinate official to be valued so much by Sun Dujian." But after all, I am the eunuch of Dongping appointed by the imperial court, so I can't leave my post without permission, right? ”

Sun Tu heard two meanings from his words, the first is that he has to obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and the second is his official position, he is the eunuch of the government, he can't go to Qingzhou to be a commander or a marquis of Yu, right?

Sun Tu didn't think much of this, and smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this, this official is now the commander of Jingdong Road, and it is within my authority to transfer you to Qingzhou." In addition, since this official was promoted to the capital supervisor of the main road by the imperial court, he has been concurrently serving as the capital supervisor of Qingzhou. It's just that this is a bit inappropriate after all, and it will also cause gossip from some people, so I want to ask Dong Dujian to take over the position of Qingzhou Metropolitan Supervisor, I don't know what you think? ”

Dong Ping's mouth opened wide at that time, and his face was incredulous.

Qingzhou Metropolitan Eunuch, this is now the strongest official position among the military attaches of the state governments in Shandong, and it is a position that almost every Shandong military attache dreams of, Sun Tu would actually let himself hold such an important position?

Then, he said with some hesitation: "How can he dare to hold such an important position?" Aren't there always a few generals around the eunuch who are deeply trusted? ”

Sun Tu shook his head slightly: "They have indeed made a lot of meritorious contributions, and they have always been loyal to me, but sometimes appointing people is not only here, but also whether this person can afford such a heavy responsibility." After the previous changes, Sun Tu has seen that these brothers under him actually have their own shortcomings, and it is difficult to be independent.

Although Qi Desheng, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi can train and use soldiers, they have always been limited by the imperial court's atmosphere of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, and they always can't let go of their hands and feet when they encounter things, and they are restricted by people everywhere. And Wu Song and Luda are brave enough, but their ability to lead soldiers is seriously insufficient, and they are just a martial artist after all.

It can be said that there is no one in the Qingzhou Army except for him Sun Tu who can be the backbone of the whole army. And then he can't only be trapped in the Qingzhou First Army, so he must find a suitable successor, and Dong Ping is undoubtedly the right person.

Sun Tudu said this, how could Dong Ping still not know how to lift, so he landed on one knee at the moment, and said: "I am willing to obey the arrangement of Sun Dujian in my humble position, and I will do my best in the future, and I will never dare to be negligent." ”
