"Who? This is impossible, where did the school government get the news?" Sun Tong finally showed a little panic, although the pain in his head was still unbearable, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter, after all, no one could afford to be charged with rebellion.

Holding the bleeding wound, he pondered carefully for a moment, and said, "Could it be Xue Gong?" But the life and death of his relatives are all tied to me, even if he dies, he can't open his mouth." ”

"How could he not speak? Just rely on the dozens of lives you hold in your hands?" Sun Ji'an is Sun Ji'an in the end, after the incident, he quickly relied on his subordinates to dig out the source of Sun Tong's confidence, that is, he still held more than a dozen families as hostages.

These hostages, some of them are Xue Gong's real relatives, and some are the widows and orphans left by Xue Gong's brothers who were born and died.

But Sun Ji'an's words were still like knives: "There is nothing foolproof in this world, anyone's heart will change, how do you know that Xue Gong will not change? And as far as I know now, it is not Xue Gong who exposes you, but a barbarian who escaped from that caravan."

"Barbarian?" Sun Tong's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it for a while, "But my subordinates reported that these people had been wiped out, and how could those people know my name?"

"Apparently your people are not as smart as you think, and even more stupid than you. I didn't know how to determine the corpses one by one, and I didn't say anything if there was one missing. As for how you know, it doesn't matter now, those cover-ups that you thought were foolproof have now become a layer of tattered window paper, what role do you expect to continue to hide behind and play?" Sun Ji'an's words were very harsh.

Sun Tong's face turned pale, and he couldn't care about his anger towards Sun Ji'an for a while, so he ran to hug Sun Ji'an's thigh in a panic, and said loudly: "Big brother, if others don't save me, you have to save me." The crime of rebellion is not small, if I am really arrested by the school government, there will definitely be no good end, big brother ......"

Sun Ji'an lowered his head and looked sad, as if he wanted to personally use the pipa just now to kill this younger brother who caused trouble without authorization, but now things are no longer just a matter of a pair of brothers, he must make the right decision.

"Of course I'm not going to let them arrest you. Sun Ji'an gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "But not because you are my younger brother, but because you are a member of the Sun family, your every move, word and deed is closely related to the Sun family." If you are really convicted of rebellion, then the entire Sun family will be implicated by you, and my layout in the court in the past two years will fall short. ”

At this point, he could barely breathe, only felt a splitting headache.

"Tomorrow...... No, right now, you go and write your resignation, hand it over to the palace, and then arrange to take your family back to Jiangdong, and never appear in Jianye again in this life, so that I can still save your life. Sun Ji'an said solemnly.

"Resign, but this ......" Sun Tong's eyes flickered, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, after all, the position of one of the nine kings was from his camp for many years, and it was needless to say that he had spent much effort, but now he was asked to give up everything, leave Jianye directly and return to Jiangdong, the ancestral land of the Sun family?

"Idiot! If something like this happens, do you still want to stay in Jianye as an official? Count it yourself, how many heads do you have, are you three heads and six arms, can you make Zhuge Wanling cut you a few more times when he slashes you!" Sun Ji'an slapped Sun Tong on the head again.

“...... If you return to Jiangdong, then in the foundation of my Sun family's existence, no one can touch you a single hair, but if you stand on top of the court in a dignified manner, even if I solve the incident and Zhuge Wanling can't kill you immediately, but in the future, he only needs to move his mind and put a crime on you casually, and you don't want to escape for the rest of your life. ”

Sun Ji explained slowly, but even if it was just an explanation, it carried an undoubted sense of oppression, which made Sun Tong, who was finally standing up straight, tremble in fear.

Among the Sun family, he despised this eldest brother the most, and he feared this eldest brother the most.

The reason why he despises it is because Sun Ji'an has maintained a "non-quarrelsome" appearance for decades, and has never shown any amazing talent, but can just do errands well.

And it was such a big brother, but on that day he suddenly reversed, like a fierce beast exuding its deep fangs, and suddenly jumped to one of the three princes, the imperial historian, and became the leader of the scholar clan today.

Of course, the reason Sun Ji'an said was not wrong, so Sun Tong had no way to refute it, so he could only bow his head in submission and make up his mind to write the resignation.

But before leaving, he subconsciously asked: "...... over there in the school office?"

"It's not your business anymore. Sun Ji'an said ruthlessly: "In short, I will tell the school government to shut up, what you have to do is to completely withdraw from Jianye, so that the prime minister may look at the face of our entire Sun family and pretend to be deaf and dumb." ”

It turns out that the school government really can't speak anymore, because the people who can speak are dead.

In the prison, Qin Ke frowned and looked at the corpse that had hardened, and for a while he couldn't believe that this could actually be done by the cell boss he had met: "The Xue family is all dead?"

"Yes, including the barbarian who was caught with Xue Yang, they were all sealed by sharp blades, among them, Xue Yang, the old worshipper of the Xue family and others were also found in the corpses of strong poison, obviously to deal with these two people neatly, poisoning is a necessary means, only if the poison is given, the master of the little grandmaster will be so weak and can be easily killed by him. ”

The tiger finished speaking with a gloomy face, and then turned his gaze to those jailers, these people are all subordinates brought out by the cell boss, and they are almost obedient to the cell boss, and the cell boss is so ruthless, he can wipe out all these people, how can there be such cold-blooded people in the world?

Qin Ke saw the tiger's grief and indignation, so he sighed slightly, put his hand on his shoulder and comforted: "Don't blame yourself too much, no one would have thought that the Sun family could actually insert such a knife in the school mansion." ”

"What worries me the most now is that the evidence has been destroyed overnight, and the witnesses have become corpses that can't speak, so can we just watch Sun Tong go unpunished?"

"Not necessarily. Qin Ke didn't see it that way, "Although the evidence is gone, at least the truth of the matter has been found out, hasn't Lord Zhou already reported it......?" When the prime minister knows, he will naturally arrange someone to investigate, and Sun Tong will not always be so carefree. ”

But soon, the news from the court slapped him in the face, after Sun Tong resigned in the name of returning to his hometown for recuperation after a sudden illness, Zhuge Wanling almost without thinking about the resignation on the word "zhaozhu", the school government only caught a few painless corrupt officials for a few days, and then the entire Jianye City returned to calm.

Everything seemed to be buried along with the corpses that had already been buried, and the things about them were gradually forgotten by everyone.

Qin Ke knew that this was a round of exchange of interests between the two sides of the court, which ended with the retreat of the scholar clan and the moderation of Zhuge Wanling.

After all, today's Jingwu needs to be stable more than ever, surrounded by strong enemies outside, and the scholar clan has big roots and deep roots, Zhuge Wanling will not rashly start a war with the scholar clan because of Sun Tong's stupid behavior.

At least on the surface, the original Jiuqing position was vacant, and this position will inevitably no longer belong to the Shi clan, such a victory is enough.

It's just that whether it is the people from the school government or Qin Ke himself, they will regret such a result, you must know that this incident, which seems to be hidden in the shadows, seems to be a little thunderous and rainy, but it has caused countless deaths before and after, and almost the entire Xue family has been wiped out, who can appeal for them?

But what Qin Ke still can't find out is that where did Gongsun leave?

It seems that since that night, Gongsun Li has suddenly evaporated in Jianye City, perhaps she has already died at the hands of some Sun family assassin, and her body was dragged to the wilderness and buried.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke regretted the pity he had given birth to that night, but in the end, Gongsun Li, a very innocent person, also became a piece of gravel that was brutally run over under the cart of power and scheming.
