Things are indeed tricky, but Sun Tu has no intention of backing down. This is not only because he had made a military order in front of Xue Yuanpeng before, but also to seek justice for those innocent people who died in the fire.

So at noon that day, Sun Tu took a few subordinates and went straight to the main hall of the Shunshui Gang, but he didn't look for Xu Tieying directly, but asked to see their gang leader Yan Miao. It's just that he is just a nine-rank official, and the identity of the head of Kaifeng Mansion is obviously far from awe-inspiring, although he was not blocked out of the gate, but it was not Yan Miao, the gang leader, who saw them in the side hall, but the self-proclaimed head of the Shunshui Gang.

After looking at Sun Tu with a smile, Hua Mancai said with a smile: "Sun Dutou's name has been admired for a long time, and he is indeed a young hero." However, the leader of our gang Yan is not in the main hall, if you have any instructions, just tell me. As he spoke, he waved his hand again and asked someone to send a tray with a few shiny silver ingots resting in it: "These fifty taels of silver are not a tribute, and please don't dislike Sun Dutou." ”

Sun Tu felt the contempt from the other party, and he regarded himself as if he was from his home turf to fight the autumn breeze. However, he was not angry because of this, but quietly tasted the tea in the cup, and then said slowly: "I'm just afraid that Manager Hua may not be able to afford such a big event." ”

"Although Hua is not talented, he still has a little responsibility."

"Oh? I don't know 34 lives, can you afford the big event of a square in Tokyo being destroyed by fire? Sun Tu suddenly turned his face away and threw the question out directly. This time he really killed the opponent by surprise, and his face changed suddenly: "What does Sun Dutou mean by this?" Do you want to blame my Shunshui gang for the fire two days ago? Our brothers in the Shunshui Gang have always acted in accordance with the law, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing! He was really not slow to react, and immediately pushed the matter to a clean up.

But Sun Tu sneered and shook his head: "Whether this matter has anything to do with the Shunshui Gang is not up to you, but is determined by the evidence." This official has found out through various clues that this matter has a lot to do with your hall master Xu Tieying in the east of the city, and he is here to help you today. I wonder if the flower manager may have done this master? ”

"What? That's impossible! Rao is flowers have experienced many storms and waves, and he has been tempered quite well, but when he heard this, he almost jumped up from his chair with a look of disbelief. Then Fang looked at Sun Tu: "Sun Dutou, do you have any evidence?" Don't talk about it here, and wronged my brother in the Shunshui Gang. ”

After a pause, he squinted at Sun Tu again, and said with a threatening tone: "Maybe Sun Dutou didn't know enough about my Shunshui Gang when he first arrived in office, my Shunshui Gang has been taking my brothers to work diligently on the Bianhe Wharf over the years, and have worked hard for the clothing, food, housing and transportation of millions of soldiers and civilians in Bianliang, Tokyo. ”

"I don't care how much your Shunshui Gang has done for Tokyo, I came here today just to ask for Xu Tieying. As long as you are willing to hand him over, you will naturally be able to prove that your Shunshui Gang is innocent. But if you don't cooperate, it's hard to say. Sun Tu still looked calm, but the pressure in his words far exceeded that of the other party.

Shen Liang, who was sitting on the side, heard this, and he was unconsciously impressed in his heart. Don't look at Sun Dutou's youth, but in terms of the old way of acting, he is far above himself, who has been in the yamen for more than ten years. Before, he still wondered why he didn't go directly to the entrance of the Chengdong Hall where Xu Tieying was located, but came to the head hall of the Shunshui Gang, which was more difficult to deal with, and only then did he understand that this was to put pressure on the Shunshui Gang, and then let them take people and hand them over.

Hua Mantian's face finally became a little ugly after feeling the pressure, and he snorted after a while: "Sun Dutou, you haven't said what evidence the government has." I believe that with the people of Hall Master Xu, he would never do such a mad and lawless thing......"

Early the day before yesterday, Xu Tieying found a beggar leader and asked him to keep an eye on Qi Xuanhe. And this Qi Xuanhe is the key figure in this Changxingfang fire. And I had already inquired before I came, just two or three months ago, Qi Xuanhe had a dispute with Xu Tieying because he refused to sell a batch of Shu brocade to your Shunshui Gang at a low price. These two points alone are enough to constitute evidence, can the manager of Hua hand over the person? Sun Tu didn't hide it, and directly listed all the relevant evidence.

After hearing this, Hua Mantian looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahahaha...... Sun Dutou, you really know how to tell jokes, a beggar's words can actually be used as evidence against the arson and murder of the head of the gang? As for the dispute a few months ago, it is even more of a crime, the brothers in our gang have a rude personality, and I am afraid that they have had disputes with no less than 100 people in the past few months, so should we be blamed for their deaths later? Sun Dutou, what is your intention to forcibly offend our Shunshui Gang so much, aren't you afraid of colding the hearts of the brothers at the dock? The last sentence was already a threat from Chi Guoguo, and after speaking, he stared at Sun Tu even more viciously.

Sun Tu didn't let him look at him at all, and then said: "So the official didn't say that he came to ask people to ask for guilt from the beginning, but just wanted to ask you Shunshui Gang to hand over Xu Tieying, as for whether he set fire or not, I will find out." ”

"Again, based on this evidence alone, my Shunshui Gang will never hand over Hall Master Xu to you. If you really have the evidence, you can take people directly. Hua Mantian was already sure that the other party had no empirical evidence, so he said this very hard: "If Sun Dutou has nothing else to order, then please go back." ”

Seeing that the other party had given an eviction order, Sun Tu was not in a hurry, he still sat there and asked, "In this way, do you Shunshui Gang have to protect Xu Tieying?" Or is this actually clear to all members of your gang, and even this is what your gang leader asked him to do, so he will be protected? ”

"Sun Dutou!" The flowers changed color all over the sky, and they couldn't care about leaving a merciful face anymore: "If you talk nonsense here again, don't blame me for being polite." Don't say that you are all the heads, even if Xue Tong is sentenced, I don't dare to say that I am a Shunshui Gang! That's all for today, so please go back. ”

Sun Tu looked at him for a moment, and finally stood up. He really doesn't have more clues and evidence, he is here today to put pressure on the Shunshui Gang, if they can hand over Xu Tieying, it will naturally be the best, if not, then they can only implement the second set of plans.

When a few people walked out under the hostile gaze of the Shunshui Gang, Shen Liang glanced at Sun Tu with concern: "Dutou, what should we do next?" It seems that it is indeed difficult to convict Xu Tieying based on the testimony of those beggars. ”

"I've thought of this a long time ago." Sun Tu smiled: "So the purpose of my coming here today is only to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so as to confuse his mind." ”

Shen Liang immediately understood: "What does Dutou mean...... Want to force them to go on their own? For example, Xu Tieying attacked those beggars with a thief's heart? ”

"Yes, that's the only way to do it right now. After all, the fire had burned all the clues, and Qi Xuanhe's death had cut off even the last hope, so they could only be allowed to mess up and expose their flaws. Sun Tu sighed and said, "So later, you have to go and bring a message to Lao Cui, so that they must be in good spirits, but don't make any mistakes." ”

It turned out that in addition to Sun Tu bringing people to the main hall of the Shunshui Gang, Cui Luoshang and several people were also secretly sent by him to the Chengdong Hall of the Shunshui Gang to keep an eye on Xu Tieying's movements. As long as the other party takes action, it will give them an opportunity.

Just when Shen Liang nodded in response to the matter and was about to run over in person, one person suddenly rushed to them in a hurry, it was Cui Liushang.

"How did you get here? Who is watching Xu Tieying? Sun Tu asked with a sinking face when he saw it.

Cui Luoshang took a few breaths of air before he said with a strange look: "Dutou, not long ago, someone suddenly broke into the east hall of the Shunshui Gang and took Xu Tieying down. ”

"Huh? Which yamen did this? Sun Tu suddenly asked with some surprise.

"It is our brother from Kaifeng Mansion, headed by Fang Zhusi and Peng Dutou. Also, Yan Miao, the leader of the Shunshui Gang, who went there at the same time as them, was able to easily bring Xu Tieying out because he was there. ”

At this time, Sun Tu and the others were completely stunned, it turned out that Yan Miao was really not here in the main hall. However, how could things have changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and how could Fang Boyan also be involved in this matter?

While feeling a thousand things chaotic, Sun Tu faintly felt a strong uneasiness, as if the case had rushed in a direction that was not under his control......
