"Lawlessness and outrageous! These bandits are really not sorry to die! The first to react was a middle-aged official with a bookish atmosphere, and at this time he was quite indignant, slamming a few cases, almost shaking the wine glasses and dishes on his head.

And with this opening, the others also echoed their thoughts, and another gray-haired old man sighed: "We have indeed underestimated the harm of these thieves to the people of Beijing, and now it seems that it is indeed urgent to eradicate them, and it is indeed a blessing for hundreds of people that Your Highness can decide to sweep away the Sanssouci Cave at this time!" ”

For a while, there were many praises in the hall, and after Zhao Heng heard this praise, his face showed a look of joy, and he also felt that he had done a great deed for the country and the people, and the whole person's emotions became excited. After a while, he smiled and said: "Teachers don't have to be so praised, after all, it is still people like Yuehou who do things, and their merits are not small." And in my opinion, although those bandits should be killed, the people who defend them and cover up their crimes for them are even more unforgivable. ”

Sun Tu coldly watched these monarchs and ministers praising each other as if they were making a show, and suddenly found that Zhao Heng, the prince, was not as wise as he thought. Maybe he has some ambitions, but just looking at the so-called close courtiers gathered around him, he knows that his ability is actually limited, and the lack of responsibility just now makes him look down on the other party a lot.

At this time, when he was questioned by the prince, Sun Tu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "What Your Highness said is very true, the bandits in Sanssouci Cave are hateful, but those who use them and instigate them to grab more benefits deserve to die." ”

"That's right, so I plan to take this opportunity to uncover the true colors of these people, and I hope Yuehou can help me." Zhao Heng said, staring at Sun Tu with burning eyes: "As long as you can take the head of the bandits in the Sanssouci Cave, and let him explain his mastermind behind the scenes, and make it public, I believe that even if my father trusts him again, he will be severely punished." And all this will be entrusted to you. ”

Feeling the other party's ardent expectations, Sun Tu finally fully understood the true purpose of the other party who secretly helped him before, and used his own hands to eradicate the bandits in Sanssouci Cave. This made him suddenly feel a little funny in his heart, the prince and his henchmen in front of him were really too aggrieved, and they had to be so secretive if they wanted to do something, they looked completely unsightly.

However, he didn't delve into the meaning of this, only nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then what does Your Highness think about what to do with those thieves who have escaped into the underground waterways?" "Their evil deeds have not been exposed just now, but now that the results are certain, I don't know what the prince will do.

"This ......" Zhao Heng hesitated again. But the old man just now turned his face sank, looked at Sun Tu and said, "Yuehou, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you want to use such things to force Your Highness to take risks? Do you still have any respect for Your Highness in your heart? ”

"Marquis Yue, what you said is bad, can't you see the difficulties of Your Highness, if such a large-scale massacre really arises in the city, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be shaken, and Your Majesty will definitely investigate to the end, at that time, Your Highness will be responsible, you and I can't afford it!" Immediately, the middle-aged official chimed in.

The others immediately spoke out to persuade one after another, either tough or tactful, and even Di Huchen said with some embarrassment: "Qianli, this matter is big, please think twice." Although these people are extremely evil, they are not the culprits after all, and if they are killed without asking for reasons, they may hurt the name of His Highness's benevolence. And once this thing is really done, it will inevitably attract a lot of obstruction and attention, so where will the prince be placed? ”

Sun Tu listened to these people's prevarication expressionlessly, and slowly, the corners of his mouth began to turn up, becoming a little ridiculed. These people actually mean the same thing, that is, they don't want to take on any responsibility, whether it is the prince or themselves, they are just bystanders, and all the things that charge into battle are done by Sun Tu. And the situation must not be too big, otherwise it will be uncontrolled and will implicate them again.

He also wanted to gain benefits by sweeping away the bandits in Sanssouci Cave, and used it to attack the political enemies of the DPRK and China, but he didn't want to take on the responsibility of He, so he only let Sun Tu stand in front and attracted all his attention. These people are really wishful thinking for a good fight!

This made Sun Tudu a little incomprehensible, how could they dare to do this, and he was sure that he would definitely do what they said? In the name of a prince? Maybe some foolish and loyal people will be willing to use them willingly, regardless of all gains and losses, but he will never unconditionally sacrifice himself for others.

It wasn't until they had almost finished talking that Sun Tu slowly spoke: "If His Highness really has no intention of eliminating evil, then the minister has nothing to say." Anyway, some of those Sanssouci Cave bandits have also been captured, and it is impossible to do evil in the capital in a short period of time, so I can be regarded as having an explanation for myself and others, so let's stop here. As he spoke, he got up suddenly, saluted Zhao Heng, and then made a gesture to leave.

"You...... What do you mean by that? Zhao Heng was a little dumbfounded, and asked urgently. The others were even more dumbfounded, okay, after saying so much, this guy is actually going to give up?

Sun Tu ignored the prince's inquiry at all, and instead looked at Di Huchen: "Second Brother Di, do you know why I want to kill those bandits this time?" ”

"Why?" Di Huchen was also curious, after all, Sun Tu really didn't have much to do with those people, at least he thought so.

Of course, Sun Tu couldn't tell him the truth, and only told one of the reasons: "I just want to vent a bad breath for Ya'er." Back then, it was precisely because of the evil deeds of the bandits in Sanssouci Cave that Ya'er was abducted from the Di family, so that she suffered a lot, and it was difficult to return home for many years, and some relatives did not know. Since I am her husband, it is my duty to help her vent his anger. ”

Di Huchen was stupid, and the others were also dumbfounded after understanding the meaning of Sun Tu's words, what a wayward person this must be, to make such a big deal for a woman. But at the same time, it also gave them a further understanding of Sun Tu, this guy is a real person, once he has a decision, he will do it regardless of the consequences!

Sun Tu looked at everyone again, and finally his eyes fell on the crown prince: "In fact, at this point, my goal of revenge has been achieved, and it doesn't matter whether those bandit leaders can be caught or not." Anyway, they could never be the culprits who kidnapped Ya'er more than ten years ago, so it naturally didn't matter if they were taken or not. Since His Royal Highness wants to let people live, the minister naturally obeys the order and stops. ”

"You ......" Zhao Heng's face changed instantly, and he was full of anger, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

Afterwards, several other courtiers shouted: "Sun Tu, you are so bold!" Do you know what you are doing if you dare to disobey His Highness's orders, and how dare to blackmail His Highness with such things? ”

In the face of the reprimand, the sarcastic smile on Sun Tu's face became even stronger: "I can't understand a word of what you say." There has never been any legitimate order in this matter, and it is just me who has found someone to help me, so why not obey the order? ”

This time everyone is a little unsure of how to answer, it is true, they have never participated in this incident against the bandits in Sanssono Cave on the surface, everything is carried out in secret, after all, such things are not on the table at all.

Sun Tu's words continued, but his words became more and more unacceptable: "Moreover, although the crown prince is the prince, he is not the king after all, why do I have to follow his wishes?" Between us, we are just using each other and taking what we need. Since you refuse to help me, Prince, why should I risk being held accountable by His Majesty afterwards to help you make things bigger?

"By the way, only me and some of my brothers know the whereabouts of the leaders of those bandits, and the people from the Street Division of the Criminal Department and Kaifeng Mansion don't know the exact location. So even if the prince wants them to help take the thief's head, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Moreover, the news is about to reach them, and at some point, the thieves there will escape, leave Tokyo, or escape into the sewers below, just like everyone else. But I don't know if you can get him out of it! ”

There is no more cover-up, Sun Tu just told them in the most straightforward words, yes, I just used this matter to coerce you to cooperate with me to eradicate the bandits below according to my requirements. The big deal is to shoot and scatter!

Di Huchen was stunned, and Sun Tu's courage was too great. The prince is also a king, even if Zhao Heng does not have any real power connections in the court now, but in a few years, once the official family dies, what will he become the new king? At that time, how should Sun Tu deal with himself?

He didn't know that Sun Tu really didn't take Zhao Hengtai in front of him to heart, because he didn't even take Zhao Ji seriously, let alone a monarch who could only merge with his father to become a disgrace of the Han people. If you threaten, you will threaten, and if you offend, you will be offended, what is there to be afraid of?

Zhao Heng's body had begun to tremble violently, he was really angry. No one has ever dared to despise or even despise themselves so much. Even if Cai Jing and other powerful ministers in front of his father and emperor are not of the same mind as themselves, the respect and respect on the surface are still there, after all, the status of monarchs and ministers has always been there. But Sun Tu, whether it is words or demeanor at this time, there is no meaning at all for the courtiers to talk to the monarch, but the strong meaning of coercion cannot be concealed.

And what made him even more angry was that at this time, he really couldn't do anything to Sun Tu, and he couldn't just let him leave and ruin his entire plan......
