The jade rabbit sinks westward and the golden crow rises. As the sky light gradually becomes bright, the Shangyuan Festival, which is full of chaos, panic and blood, is finally over. But it is obvious that this special Shangyuan Festival will inevitably become a nightmare that countless Tokyo people remember for life, and the killings and chaos will continue to spread, resulting in various different versions of stories.

However, for the court and the government, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the people's hearts and rectify the order. Therefore, since yesterday, you can always see teams with neat military appearances and weapons in your hands patrolling everywhere. Any suspicious person will be captured immediately without any mercy.

Even on the morning of the 16th, such defenses were not relaxed at all. Instead, the number of troops mobilized was increasing. The people did not have much objection to this. Instead, they felt that having these elite soldiers and strong generals who were stationed and patrolled in the city under a hundred battles gave them a little more peace of mind. Even if they were hindered from investigation when going out, they were all happy.

So, before he knew it, Sun Tu's troops completely took over the city defense power of the entire Tokyo city. Not only did the city gates get into their hands, but the troops on important streets were also taken over by the troops he brought. As for the original imperial guards, it was useless.

This is naturally Sun Tu's strategy to kill one of the birds, but it is not the last one.

As the situation in the city settled down, Sun Tu re-arranged the old things again, found the case again, and executed Cai Jing and others, who were sentenced to harm the country and the people. But this time, it was naturally impossible for anyone to come to make trouble again, but there were several times more people who were punished. In addition to the families of those who were originally criminalized, there were also many subordinates of many officials who had jumped out before. Because their behavior had committed serious crimes, they naturally could not escape death. There were also families of officials like Cai Jiu who had fallen into the trap. After all, there were three or four thousand people.

It is not easy for many people to take action at the same time. At least the venue outside Xiangguo Temple cannot accommodate them. Therefore, after a little discussion with Tong Mu and others, Sun Tu decided to punish all the prisoners separately. Whether it is the inner city, the outer city, or the east, west, south, and north, the execution grounds are set up, and these prisoners are executed in batches.

In this way, the people no longer have to crowd the exterior of Xiangguo Temple together as before, and thus suffered many injuries due to an accident. But even with that lesson, on the day of execution, that is, the 18th day of the first lunar month, the execution grounds were still surrounded by injustice, and they just wanted to watch the enemy die, or just to look at the lively people, and once again, the people in Tokyo were empty, which was no less than the festival.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, as the prison officer gave a loud order, the shouts of soldiers and generals came from behind the prisoners: "It is true that they are true! It is the criminal xx himself!"

The order sign that was hooked by the red pen was slapped to the ground, but the sharp sword light rose up, which made countless people's eyes fall on the execution ground, waiting for the scene of the knife slashing people's heads. Some people also glanced around like a archer and snake shadow, for fear of something going on again.

However, this time, it was impossible for such a thing to happen again. Located in the execution ground in front of Xiangguo Temple, Qi Huan was still wearing a prison uniform. After taking a breath, he slashed his hands with his hands, and the knife in his palm had already slashed into the back of the confused prisoner in front of him!

However, this person is not the most important prisoner Cai Jing, or even any official appointed by the court, but a middle-aged man who looks quite elegant. He is one of the culprits who colluded with others and caused Qi Huan to destroy each family, Gao Shun, the second manager of Gao Taiwei's mansion!

Now, as the sharp blade slashed through the back of its neck, walked straight forward unimpededly along the gaps of the joints, and cut off his blood vessels and all his vitality. Gao Shun finally let out the last cry of sorrow before his death. But as soon as the sound came, his head had already left his body, and was kicked by Qi Huan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, rolling straight forward, leaving a ground of bloodstain.

After killing the big enemy with his own hands, Qi Huan's breathing became heavy again, and his expression changed. Finally, his knees softened, and he knelt there, murmured: "Dad, mother, second brother, Wulang, little sister... I finally avenged your big revenge today, and I will come down to accompany you soon, and go underground with you to settle the score with the old Gao Qiu thief!"

After saying this, he thrust his waist violently, threw the bloody knife in his hand to the ground, and shouted at the robe beside him, "Li Liulang, come on, you will send me a ride!"

The military generals around him were full of entanglement and sadness. Even though they had already agreed to everything, when the matter was really in front of him, they still couldn't help but hesitate. But Qi Huan was unwilling to wait any longer and shouted again: "Liulang, you have promised the general. This is for our ideals. For the soldiers who wait for us to stop bowing their heads and behave like human beings from now on, you must not be lenient. Come on, this is not just for you and me, but also for everyone, for my Han man!"

"Qi Silang, brother, I'm sorry for you!" Li Liulang finally made up his heart when he roared, and took a step and was behind him. He shouted again: "My fellow villagers in Tokyo City, our general Qi Huan, was framed before and was burdened with a great hatred, and then destroyed the whole family of enemies after entering the city. However, this was still a big mistake. According to military law, we should kill him by death. Now I will be the order of General Sun!" After speaking, the knife fell down. Qi Huan's face still had a relieved smile, and he just separated from his body and head.

As countless people reacted, his head rolled out in succession, and just hit Gao Shun's head, as if he would not let the other party go even if he died. After seeing this scene, the people around him sighed, and once again understood how much Sun Tu's troops attached to military law!

This scene diluted the impact of the murder of Cai Jing, who had just fallen to the ground. This prime minister of the Song Dynasty, who had been powerful and had been in trouble for several days, finally paid the price for everything he did. Not only did he pay for his life, but his family of 237 were also sentenced to death. The only one who escaped this disaster was the only one of his little grandson who stayed in Xianyou, who was of course rewarded by him handing over all his family's fortunes.

In addition to him, Liang Shicheng was in the west of the city and Yang Jian was in the south of the city... Each of the treacherous and important officials were also cut off by the most ordinary soldiers under the watch of countless people, and almost all of their family members were implicated, and none of the adult men could survive. In this regard, the so-called six thieves in the dynasty were awarded the titles except Tong Guan who was also under house arrest in Youzhou City, and they were all eliminated by Sun Tu.

As a result, many years later, a legend has emerged among the people that Sun Tu was the Ziwei Star General who came down from heaven to save people and killed demons and eliminated demons, and the six thieves all became demons incarnations. Then, as the protagonist, Sun Tu killed them one by one in an arduous battle, until the peace of the people in the world is finally restored to peace...

Of course, at this time, Sun Tu looked at the stars in the sky without any intention of descending to the earth. He was still lying on the embroidery couch and was scanning the officials in the court with panic but also showing a pleasant smile. Since the Spring Festival, these middle and low-level officials who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb finally realized the situation and began to come to the door to ask for a meeting, expressing their loyalty to Sun Tu.

Because at that time they finally realized that the court would be controlled by Sun Tu. For the sake of their official career and life, even if they were reluctant, they could only surrender to Sun Tu. After all, these people were the most aware of the times. When Cai Jing and others were in great power, they were proud to follow the horse's tail. Now that Sun Tu destroyed these powerful ministers, they naturally surrendered. As for moral integrity, it was not a thing for these old officials in the officialdom.

Sun Tu did not make any trouble for them this time. He just smiled and swept over the dozens of officials and said, "You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light today. This is my blessing for the court of the Song Dynasty. I am also deeply pleased. Let me give you two days to submit your statement as soon as possible and discuss what will happen in the court next. Especially when Cai Jing and other traitors were beaten up in one fell swoop, who should make up for the empty seats they have? You are naturally the most clear about these things in the court for a long time, but I don't want to worry about it anymore."

"Yes, yes, yes, the lower official will go back and find a proper way. You must be satisfied with the Marquis of Yue."

"The title of Yue Hou can still be called. According to the Xiaguan, with the contribution of Yue Hou to our great Song Dynasty, this time he was granted the title of Duke of Yue. No, it is natural to be granted the title of King Yue."

"I can't afford to take on King Yue, and the credit for this time is not my own. My subordinates and generals have made great contributions to the country. You can't forget them." Faced with the flattery of everyone, Sun Tu just smiled and emphasized, and then waved his hand to drive away the people without waiting for them to say too much.

We don’t need to be too polite to these fence-bearers. Although they are of some use, they cannot be of great use. They may not be replaced after the situation in the court is stable. Only those who do have some skills can continue to stay in the court.

In this way, these court officials became another bird in Sun Tu's entire plan. By killing and decisively, he had completely subdued these court officials. At least for a short time, they would not dare to be enemies with him anymore. And Sun Tu could also thoroughly grasp the overall situation of the entire court through them.

Both civil and military officials took their own hands. This time, Sun Tu truly became the powerful and nameless lord of the Song Dynasty.
