The atmosphere in the hall became solemn and depressing, and everyone's eyes fell on Sun Tu. They wanted to loudly reprimand Sun Tu's rebellion, but they dared to threaten the current prince, and there was no difference between the dignity and inferiority of the monarch and the minister. However, in the face of his eyes with a hint of mockery and indifference, their words could not be uttered at all, this man was so bold that he could not say anything else!

In fact, what they didn't know was that Sun Tu's calm expression also hid worries behind him, and he was afraid that things would end up in two. Because he even wanted to capture the leaders of those Sanssouci Cave bandits alive than Zhao Heng, they still had clues and mysteries about the whereabouts of the master and Zhou Xiong, once these guys were really allowed to escape, it would be extremely difficult to find the truth.

However, Sun Tu's tough attitude just now has completely confused the monarch and ministers in front of them, and also made them completely ignore some things that are on the surface, at this time, they only pay attention to one point, should they make a compromise? And all this, in fact, is not up to them, only in the thought of the crown prince Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng knew very well that this was his best opportunity in all these years, and he really didn't know how long he would have to wait to hold on to those traitorous ministers once he missed today. And at that time, can he continue to be the crown prince? A sense of urgency had hit him, and although he was annoyed by Sun Tu's attitude and threats, he had to back down and cooperate with him.

After all, he still has some city government, and his years of career as a prince have also made him accustomed to forbearance, so soon, Zhao Heng saw a smile on his face again: "Yuehou is really dedicated to eliminating harm for the people, so it seems that Gu is a little ashamed of himself." With the change of title, the distance between the two quickly narrowed, and he really had the intention of pulling Sun Tu to his side and becoming a powerful helper, but now it has long since dissipated.

Sun Tu didn't know, looked at him and said, "It seems that the prince has changed his mind?" ”

"You just said well, how can you make reservations just because you have some worries? Then follow your wishes, take this opportunity, and eradicate all the bandits who have escaped into the underground, and everything is up to you, how about it? ”

"Your Highness is wise, as it should be. I also ask His Highness to give a warrant or certificate, and the minister will arrange for the three yamen to clean up the underground bandits and prevent them from escaping and slipping through the net! Sun Tu immediately agreed and put forward his own request. At this time, he was already very clear, whether it was the Criminal Department or the Street Division, the person in charge there actually only listened to the prince's will and acted, so he had to get his token first.

Zhao Heng was annoyed in his heart, but his face was still smiling, and he nodded to the old man immediately: "Just ask Mr. you to write a warrant and hand it over to Yue Hou." Lone was also a little tired, so he went back and waited for the news. At this point, he was no longer interested in knowing what was going to happen next, because everything had deviated from his original plan.

The old man stared at Sun Tu with great dissatisfaction for a moment, and finally took a pen and paper to write a warrant for Sun Tu, and used a small seal with a four-clawed dragon pattern - the five-clawed golden dragon represents the Son of Heaven, and the four-clawed dragon can only be used by royal heirs like the crown prince, which is enough to explain the identity of the owner of the warrant.

Sun Tu took the warrant and carefully read the contents of it, then smiled and clenched his fists: "In this way, you just have to wait for the good news." After speaking, without any delay, he quickly turned around and left, leaving only the monarchs and ministers in the hall with dark faces, but helpless.

When he got down to the second floor, Qin Hui and Di Yingyang quickly got up and looked over: "Master Hou......" Although the argument upstairs has not been passed down, it is only from the fact that someone sent the news just now and has not come down for a long time, you can know that the matter is not small, and it is impossible for the two of them to eat and drink calmly on the second floor.

Sun Tu smiled at them, nodded and said, "The matter has been done, let's go back and do the rest of the things, and it's time to wrap it up." "To uproot the troublesome cave bandits that have been causing trouble to Tokyo for many years, so that many officials have no way to do it, seems to be just a trivial matter that can be achieved with a finger in his hands!

When the three of them walked out of the Li family restaurant, not far from the rear, there were already many subordinates standing and waiting, and since the news was passed on, these guards did not return to Fangju, because they knew that as long as the results of the discovery of a large number of corpses in the thieves' lair were reported, their own general would definitely take action as soon as possible.

Seeing these twenty or so cronies, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Tu's mouth: "The enemy is ahead, do you dare to go with me?" ”

"We will follow the general to the death, sword mountains and fires, and never give up!" These people replied loudly almost at the same time, and the voice traveled far away, straight into the restaurant, so that many people inside were moved, this momentum is really too strong, and it is difficult for a hundred people to compare.

"Let's go!" Sun Tu said, and handed the warrant to Di Yingyang: "You and Huizhi will go to see the people from the Criminal Department and the Street Division, and let them act according to my plan." Tell them that this is also what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, so that they don't have any worries! ”

Di Yingyang only glanced at the contents of the warrant, and his spirit was even more uplifted, and then he agreed loudly, turned over and got on the horse with Qin Hui, who also looked excited, and then hurried away. In front of the window of the restaurant, Di Huchen saw this scene, which made his heart chuckle unconsciously, Lao Jiu made such a fuss, but he dragged himself and the entire Di family in.

For a moment, he regretted letting Lao Jiu deliberately get close to Sun Tu, after all, this brother-in-law did too much. But then, Di Huchen accepted all this again, opened the bow and did not turn back, and now, he can only hope that Sun Tu can succeed. As for the crown prince, leave it for the future.

In his daze, the sound of hurried horses' hooves started, and then quickly went away, but Sun Tu had already led people straight to Chaoyangmen, it was not early, but it couldn't be delayed any longer!

The commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was developed, which was not only reflected in the large number of merchants and shops and the dazzling array of goods, but also in its local trade routes and related industries derived from the convenience of merchants. For example, the water and land arteries connecting the north and the south and the east and west are like spider webs all over the country, making it extremely convenient to transport goods from all over the country, and in addition to some of the trading houses that have both the identity of merchants and transportation, there are also carriages and horses that are specially designed to transport goods or guests to the designated place are also extremely prosperous.

Although it was a thousand years ago, the road transportation system of the Great Song Dynasty was quite complete, and almost every county town had opened a private carriage and horse dealership. Not only can people easily hire vehicles and donkeys and horses for long-distance travel, but it also allows people to stay for long-distance people, sometimes more convenient than official post houses.

As the absolute center of domestic politics, culture and commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, there are a large number of carriage and horse shops in Tokyo, and there are as many as seven or eight large and small carriage and horse shops near a few city gates in the east alone. Located in front of Chaoyangmen, the safe carriage and horse shop is one of them, and the business on weekdays is also quite good.

But no one would have thought that this car and horse shop, where customers come and go on weekdays, hides a huge, unspeakable secret. And Zhao Ping, the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse dealer who has always been smiling and welcoming, actually has another hidden identity that makes people frightened and angry - the second master of Sanssouci Cave.

Under Zhao Ping's operation, over the years, no less than 500 kidnapped young girls have been sent out of Tokyo unknowingly, and then resold to other parties, bringing them extremely considerable profits. In fact, his method is quite ordinary, but he sets up a mezzanine in the car that transports goods out of Beijing, and hides people in it, so that they can evade the search of officers and soldiers and easily send them out. Because he, like the Gu family business house at the beginning, has already figured out all the relationships between the city gate guards here in Chaoyangmen, and no one will find out about the head of his convoy.

He'd been doing this for years, and he'd been familiar with it for years, and he had never been noticed by anyone. This made Zhao Ping think that he could continue to work like this in the future, until one day he made enough money and then washed his hands and lived a good life as a rich man.

But today, somehow, his mind has been restless since the morning, although it is clear that there can be no more related transactions due to the weather in the past few days, but looking at the gloomy weather outside, the nervousness in his heart is increasing, as if something terrible is about to happen.

"Isn't this the so-called the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous? Is it time for me to retire? After sending a few cronies but never bringing back the echo of other people in the city, Zhao Ping became more and more nervous, and after laughing at himself, he decided to talk to the big boss to see if there was any emergency plan.

Speaking of which, he really admires the big boss, don't look at his age much younger than himself, but he is far superior to himself in terms of mental means. In particular, his ability to catch up with those nobles through some opportunities that others can't see, and make his brother quickly get up from the trough is far from being comparable to himself.

Now Sanssouci Cave is different from those small fights and small thieves like rats crossing the street, the brothers can live in the alleys with a good environment, take care of each other, not only are they not afraid of the government's inquiry, but they are protected, in the end, all this is the leadership of the big boss.

The only thing that made him feel a little incomprehensible was that the big boss was too cautious, except for himself and a few other people, the other brothers didn't know his true identity, only knew that there was a big boss who was the real backbone of the brothers in the Sanssouci Cave.

In the past few days, the big boss suddenly lived in the courtyard behind the carriage and horse shop, and he didn't know what kind of plan he was planning. But that's good, now that I feel that I have a difficulty, I just need to ask him for details.

Just when Zhao Ping came to the house where the big boss lived and wanted to knock on the door, there was a sudden shouting outside, followed by a bang, which was actually the sound of the door panel in front of the store being smashed by a heavy object......
