Speaking of this, Sun Tu suddenly trembled, and his head hit the fence heavily.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that God won't help me!"

"I was discovered by Qian Dahong, who came out of nowhere out of a sudden visit! But Qian Dahong didn't expose me at the time, and later used this to threaten me to help him steal a secret letter that Zhen Si hid in the dark room. ”

"I pretended to say yes, and I kept it perfunctory."

It was during this anti-bandit operation organized by Linjiang County after the New Year that I was arrested by Qian Dahong. ”

"He tortured me in every possible way, forced me to agree, and helped him steal the secret letter within a month."

"I see that there is no hope of revenge, how can I help the enemy again? So I would rather die than obey, so Qian Dahong sentenced me to death and detained me here. ”

When Yu Huawen heard these twists and turns, he was silent for a while, and frowned: "These are all your words, even if I want to believe it, how can I have a certificate?" ”

Sun Tu shook his head and said: "My lord, it's not that the villain doesn't give you evidence, but the relationship between these three people is really very cautious, and they only have a late-night interview in case of trouble, and they have never used letters to communicate." ”

"But, my lord, I know of several dens of the bandits."

Yu Huawen's eyes lit up, this water bandit is the number one problem in Qiantang County and even Linjiang County, if the water bandit can be uprooted, it will also be a great achievement.

"Very good, if the information you provide can help suppress the bandits, the county will credit you!" Yu Huawen is colorful.

Sun Tu said in a deep voice: "My lord, this main village is located on a high ground in the depths of the Qiantang River, surrounded by water on three sides, and one side is backed by a cliff, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with Zhen Si's many years of operation, he is already impregnable, and if he attacks it, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy casualties. ”

"How so?" Yu Huawen's brows furrowed, and his tone seemed to be full of incredulity.

Sun Tu sneered, "My lord, Qian Dahong, the county commander of Qiantang, wore a pair of pants with the bandits, and before the officers and soldiers came, they had already broken into pieces and fled elsewhere." ”

"Eat the court and commit robbery, if this is the case, it is not a pity that this Qian Dahong died!" Yu Huawen's face was ugly, and he scolded angrily.

"It's not a pity to die?" Sun Tu looked at Yu Huawen in surprise, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Qian Dahong died on the dock a few days ago." Yu Huawen didn't hide it from him.

"What! Qian Dahong is dead! Sun Tu was stunned, and suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, this beast! It's good to die! It's good to die, haha......"

"Dad, mother, Xiaojuan...... Someone has avenged you! ”

Sun Tu cried for a while, laughed for a while, as if he had committed a demonic obstacle.

Yu Huawen knew that he had been suppressed for too long and was just venting his emotions, so he didn't care about him.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Sun Tu finally returned to normal, he came to Yu Huawen, clung to the iron fence on the cell door, stared at him deadly, and said urgently: "My lord, you let me out, I can meet the inside and outside when the time comes, and I will definitely be able to kill Zhen Laosi!" ”

This is a good proposal, Yu Huawen nodded secretly.

Looking at Sun Tu's appearance, it shouldn't be a lie, you can try it yourself.

However, now is not the time.

"Sun Tu, your proposal, the county can agree." Before Yu Huawen could speak, he continued: "However, it is impossible for me to send troops to suppress the bandits now. This matter has to be considered in the long run. ”

"Why?" Sun Tu asked puzzled.

"Because there is no evidence of Shen Qinglong's banditry yet. If you can't hold Shen Qinglong, I'm afraid that the bandits will still be in vain. If you want to be defeated with one blow, you must first cut off all of Zhen Si's eyeliner, ears and eyes. ”

"As long as the adults really suppress the bandits, Sun Tu will be the liver and brain, I have been waiting for more than ten years, how can I care about waiting for a long time!" Sun Tu said with pathos.

"Therefore, we can't act rashly, before that, you must act quietly and cautiously and secretly search for Shen Qinglong's evidence. Just wait for the time to be ripe, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and they will be caught in one net! Yu Huawen stroked his beard, and then said: "Also, I can't let you out in front of everyone, wait for a few days, Wu Xing's affairs will calm down, and I will make my own arrangements." ”

Sun Tu nodded, still uneasy: "My lord, Qian Dahong has been in charge of Qiantang for many years, and there are likely to be Zhen Si or Shen Qinglong's people in the county government, ...... You have to be careful. ”

Yu Huawen's face was a little solemn, bowed slightly, and did not answer.

After the two finished chatting, Yu Huawen called everyone in and asked Sun Tu in prison: "Say, what happened in the prison between the time and the time?" ”

Sun Tu didn't hide it anymore, and said: "My lord, the villain was sleeping at the time, and was awakened by the sound of the cell door opening next door, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a person wearing a black night suit, who was walking into Wu Xing's cell. ”

"I remember Wu Xing was very excited at first, saying things like 'Hou Ye sent you to save me', and then the man in black took out a dagger from his cuff and killed Wu Xing directly, Wu Xing said something before he died, because the voice was too small, and the villain didn't hear it clearly."

Yu Huawen frowned.

Listening to Sun Tu's words, Pang Tai said angrily: "My lord, this is obviously Zhao Guangcai sent someone to kill people!" Such audacity and lawlessness! Someone should have sent him to arrest him now! ”

Yu Huawen glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Who to arrest?" Catch Linjiang Hou? What about vouchers? Wu Xing is dead, and all the assassins have fled, and they only rely on the one-sided testimony of a death row prisoner in the same prison to arrest a county marquis? You have been in power for many years! ”

Pang Tai blushed for a while and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Pang Tai, after the inquest, you send someone to collect the body. Chang Gung, you come with me. Yu Huawen finished the order and turned around and walked out.

"Yes, sir." Pang Tai and Lin He arched at the same time.

……

Yu Huawen and Lin He walked towards the county office, and several messengers followed behind.

At night, there is still silence, a crescent moon is like a silver hook, I don't know when it has quietly hung in the sky, sprinkling infinite clear light to the world, shrouding the streets and alleys of Qiantang, everything is so quiet.

The two of them walked quietly, as if neither of them wanted to break the serenity. But Lin He knew that Yu Huawen had something to say.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yu Huawen, who was walking in front, to speak up: "Chang Geng, do you know what my original purpose was as an official?" ”

Lin He was a little confused about Yu Huawen's question, but he still answered honestly: "Serve the court and benefit the people?" ”

Yu Huawen shook his head.

"Be honest and honest, punish evil and promote good?"

Yu Huawen still shook his head, and when he saw that Lin He was about to speak, he smiled and said, "Okay, don't guess, I'm not as high-minded as you said, my original purpose was just to have a stable meal." ”

Lin He was a little surprised.

Yu Huawen turned his head, glanced at him, and smiled slightly, "There's nothing to be surprised about, being an official for thousands of miles, just for food and clothing." Most people who are officials are just this pragmatic idea at the beginning, but they are just doing it, and it is different. ”

"Some people choose to oppress the good, fish and meat in the country, and make a lot of money; Some people choose to deceive their superiors and subordinates, slip around and pat their horses, and seek their superiors; Some people choose to take the people as the sky, benefit the township, and be selfless. ”

"Your Excellency must have chosen the third option." Linhe Road.

Yu Huawen glanced at him and smiled, "When did you become Pang Tai?" ”

"I'm not as great as you think, but after becoming an official, when I see the suffering of the people and think of the past days, I will naturally empathize, so for me, all this is just a matter of course, and I will contribute some modest efforts to the people."

Under the bright moon, Yu Huawen's deep eyes exuded a bright luster, although his voice was not loud, but it echoed in the quiet night sky, lingering in Lin He's heart.

Yu Huawen sighed and continued: "It's a pity that most of the officials in my dynasty are only for their own selfish interests, and they don't care about the people's suffering. And the chaos in the north, the strife in the world, my Dajin is already in danger. ”

Lin He was silent for a while, he knew that Yu Huawen should not say this to him for no reason, so he asked softly, "My lord, did Sun Tu say something to you?" ”

Yu Huawen glanced at him appreciatively, and nodded heavily: "Qian Dahong, the previous county commander, Shen Qinglong, the leader of the Cao Gang, and Zhen Si, the Qiantang water bandit, are in cahoots and harming one party." ”

"What!?"
