Chapter 801: Suspicious
It was nearly dusk. The last rays of the autumn sun set on a lonely hill a few miles from Tokyo, among the tombs that could only be hastily gathered for various reasons.
Sun Tu slowly poured a glass of wine into the mud in front of one of the small graves, who would have thought that Zhou Tong, a generation of grandmasters who had enjoyed a reputation in the rivers and lakes for decades, would be so quietly buried in such an obscure cemetery, and even only had a name scrawled on the tombstone.
And that's it, thanks to Cui Luoshang and a few others pooled the money to bury him, otherwise...... As long as he thought of this, the guilt in Sun Tu's heart became more and more intense, he hated, hated why he didn't care about his master so much, why he didn't even know about such things until today.
In fact, it's not that Sun Tu is cold, he has been back to Bianjing for a long time, and he hasn't even visited his master. On the contrary, it was precisely because he cared enough about Zhou Dong that he didn't dare to come to the door. Because he knows very well how many powerful ministers and traitors he has offended over the years, he has a marquis and great merit in his body, and those people dare not retaliate, but if they know the existence of Zhou Dong and let them know that this is a person he values and cares about, I am afraid it will bring him a catastrophe. No matter how famous Zhou Dong is in the rivers and lakes, no matter how high his martial arts are, it is still not worth mentioning in the eyes of those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, and it is effortless for him to do so.
However, this good intentions were exchanged for such bad news, which naturally made Sun Tu completely unable to accept and forgive himself. At this time, he stood in front of the grave in a daze, and after a while, he knelt down and knocked his head three times: "Master, the disciple is not filial and cannot protect you." I know that no matter what I say to you today, I will not be able to make up for my mistakes, I can only promise you that I will find out the real culprit who killed you, and no matter who he is, I will make him pay ten times and a hundred times the price to comfort your soul in heaven! ”
Sun Tu said these words in a very calm manner, and there was not even much anger or gritting teeth on his face, and his tone was even more plain as water. But Cui Luoshang and a few others who heard and saw it somehow unconsciously felt a chill, and faintly saw that there was about to blow a bloody storm in the city of Tokyo.
This made them dare not come forward to comfort, so they could only stand silently by the side. It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Sun Tu stood up, patted the dust on his body, looked at the worried Cui Luoshang and said, "Thank you for your willingness to help Master and his old man settle down at that time, I Sun Tu wrote down this love." Is there anything else you haven't told me about this? As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on his eyes.
This made Cui Liushang feel even more palpitations, and wanted to shirk it, but he didn't dare, and finally hesitated and said: "The little one doesn't dare to hide from Yuehou, in fact, there was an incident after this incident, a man named Zhou Xiong was suddenly taken into prison by someone sent by my Kaifeng Mansion because of something, it is said that he was taken down because he was beaten on the street, and what he killed was one of the thieves of the Ghost Fan Building...... Originally, this matter was nothing, and it could even be regarded as a righteous and courageous act, but Zhong Tong, who was in charge of the criminal prison, suddenly changed his mind and convicted him of a felony, and he is still detained in my Kaifeng Mansion prison to this day......"
When he mentioned the name Zhou Xiong, Sun Tu's eyes sank. Although he didn't have much contact with Zhou Xiong, he remembered very well that this person was the nephew who had been following the master all along, and he killed people at that time, did it mean that he had found out the truth of the matter, and when he had no way to ask for help, he could only take the risk and kill people himself?
This also made him a little anxious suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Then how can I see him now?" No, I have to think of saving him, what crime is he convicted of? In his eagerness, Sun Tu's mind was a little confused, which was an extremely rare situation.
"Even the small ones can't get into the prison, and it's all up to the Zhong Tong judge. Moreover, because he has a big backer in the court, even Zhou Fuyin sometimes has to avoid three points, so it is extremely difficult to start from this side. ”
Sun Tu looked at him for a while, and after confirming that what he said was true, he could only suppress his eagerness for the time being. Then, he thought of something more important: "What about Wan'er?" Where is she? Seeing that the other party was a little confused, he explained again: "Zhou Xiuwan, that is, a young ...... who has been following the master Woman's ......" Thinking that more than ten years have passed, Zhou Xiuwan is no longer a girl, Sun Tu quickly changed her words.
Cui Luoshang shook his head: "I don't know this, when we arrived, there was only Master Zhou inside and outside the courtyard, and there was no one else." ”
Sun Tu walked two steps with a little uneasiness, if he thought about it, maybe Zhou Xiuwan would have been married a long time ago, so she had nothing to do with all this, so naturally it was a blessing in misfortune. But if she is also involved, and even has fallen into the hands of some people, as long as she thinks about her situation, Sun Tu is anxious, and he can't wait to completely turn over Tokyo City now and find someone.
After taking a few deep breaths and forcibly calming himself down, Sun Tucai patted Cui Liushang on the shoulder: "I'm glad to have you this time, otherwise I don't know how long I will be hidden." Don't worry, I won't let you take any risks in this matter, I have my own way to find out everything! ”
"Master Hou......" Cui Liushang hesitated a little, but still said what he said in his heart: "Although the villain is stupid, he can also see that this matter is very deep, maybe there are some extravagant characters involved, and I hope you can think twice, don't ruin your future because of a moment of anger." ”
Feeling the other party's sincere concern, Sun Tu's heart warmed again: "Don't worry, I, Sun Tu, have never been a reckless person." What's more, my current status is not low, and there won't be too many people who can really fight with me in this Tokyo city! As he spoke, he turned around and raised his eyes to look at the already lit lights in front of him, and the murderous aura in his eyes could not be concealed.
On his side, a group of guards stood upright like javelins, all with resolute faces, without the slightest worry, as if telling their general that no matter what he did, he would follow the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, enter the dragon pool and enter the tiger's den, they would follow him and defend to the death.
Seeing all this, Cui Liushang was both envious and frightened, he was afraid that this matter was really going to cause a big mess, and he didn't even know whether he was right or wrong to tell the truth......
¥¥¥¥¥
It wasn't until after the first shift that Sun Tu returned home with heavy steps. Seeing that he looked depressed, Ya'er and Hu Rong didn't dare to disturb him too much, but he was busy with business recently, so he was a little tired, and even his son Hutou was only tired of being crooked in front of him for a while, and was taken down by the nurse.
It wasn't until only the three of them were left in the room that Sun Tu told the bad news he learned today, and also mentioned Zhou Xiuwan's whereabouts. This time, Ya'er was sad and worried: "Grandpa Zhou, he actually went like this?" I've been in Tokyo for a few months, and I don't even know about it...... "I don't know how to talk about the seniority, anyway, Ya'er has always called herself Langjun's master, and then she said more worriedly: "And Wan'er, third brother, she, she'll be fine, right?" ”
Sun Tu shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, I just hope that she can have her own natural appearance." But tomorrow I will ask people to find out the relevant news, at least to find Wan'er. Also," he remembered another matter, and solemnly looked at his two wives and said, "You must be careful when you go out in the future, it is said that the Ghost Fan Lou that I destroyed has revived, and they seem to have the intention of seeking revenge on me." I'm not afraid, of course, but you might be the target of them, as well as the tiger's head. In this way, starting tomorrow, I will let a few brothers follow you closely, and I will not give them any opportunity to take advantage of it. ”
"Hmm." Ya'er nodded sensibly: "We won't go out if we're fine, we won't let them succeed." ”
It was Hu Rong, but at this time, she rolled her eyes and said eagerly: "San Lang, maybe this is still an opportunity, if I go out and lure those people to appear, will I be able to help you find out the murderer of the master?" Since marrying Sun Tu, she has been at home all the time, but she has never put aside her martial arts, and sometimes she has thought about trying her skills again as before, and now it seems that she has found a reasonable excuse.
Sun Tu immediately shook his head and objected: "No, that's too risky." Although your martial arts are good, you don't have enough experience in the rivers and lakes, especially if you don't know the three indiscriminate methods of those guys, you can't prevent it. Even the master and his old man have excellent skills...... Keeping you safe is the most important thing now, and you can take your time with everything else. ”
Although it was a bit disappointing that Sun Tu vetoed his proposal at once, he felt the concern from him, which still made Hu Rong happy for a while, so he nodded and agreed: "Then I will listen to San Lang and don't take risks." ”
Looking at the well-behaved and obedient appearance of the two girls, the sadness, self-blame and anger in Sun Tu's heart improved slightly. Then, after regaining his composure, he thought that he still had the responsibility of rectifying military affairs, getting back military rations, and fighting in the ring with those guys who were greedy for military salaries.
When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that the burden on my body was heavier than I imagined. And judging from the current situation, the top priority is to first calm down the chaos that has been provoked by yourself, otherwise, as long as the slightest flaw is exposed, someone will seize the handle and attack, especially Gao Yu.
"Master, please forgive my disciple one more time, I must solve the problem in front of me before I can avenge you!"
