Seeing that An Daoquan came out of the room, Sun Tu quickly walked forward and asked in a low voice: "How is it, is Xu Shangshu's injury not serious?"

This is Xu Yan's mansion. After he was beaten and injured, he was rushed back. Sun Tu also hurriedly arranged many Xinglin experts from the Imperial Hospital to treat him. The miraculous doctor An Daoquan was the last one to come out.

An Daoquan hurriedly bowed and replied in a low voice: "Shangshu Xu's external injuries are not too serious. Apart from the skin and flesh, he was also contusted with his right hand and did not hurt his muscles and bones. The reason why he fainted was because he had excessive work and had wind and cold. Now the Xiaguan has given him acupuncture and medicine, which can be cured in less than ten days and half a month."

After hearing this, Sun Tu breathed a long sigh and asked again: "So is he awake now?"

"I've woken up, but I'm still a little weak. If the Taiwei has something to ask him, try to be faster."

Sun Tu nodded, patted the other person on the shoulder, then pushed the door open and entered Xu Yan's bedroom.

It is said that the Ministry of Works is the fattest yamen in the world. A little bit of the project funds is enough for a department to eat. The Shangshu, as the head of the headquarters, is naturally the largest contractor in the world, let alone the benefits of this.

However, Xu Xu obviously did not conform to this statement. As the Minister of Works, he had never greed for a penny from the court for his position. This can only be seen from his residence. As the mansion of the third-rank minister, his family was no different from the houses of other fourth- and fifth-rank officials. He could not even see any luxurious decorations in the courtyard. There were only a dozen servants at home. This was a very low-regarded and frugal official in the Song Dynasty. If he contacted his identity as the Minister of Works, it would be even more amazing.

At this time, Xu Feng was lying on the bed, with many bruises and scratches on it. He looked so embarrassed, with fear and grievance in his eyes. It was not until he saw Sun Tu enter the house that he forced his weak body to sit up and greet him: "Taiwei, why are you..." But Sun Tu, who stepped forward, gently pressed it down: "You are like this, don't care about these stupid things." As this made him stop his movements, his heart also warmed up, and he felt the care from Sun Tu.

Seeing him lie down again, Sun Tu sighed and said, "This time I really made you feel wronged. I was injured by someone because of my loyalty to the king. It is really unprecedented. But don't worry, the official will definitely make the decision for you, and all the people who hurt you have been taken down on the spot. They will definitely pay the price."

Xu Xu was moved again, but at the same time he said: "I'm afraid there is any misunderstanding in this matter, and it's related to the stability of the court. It's better not to go into it. After all, the officials were not seriously injured..."

"No, this is not a misunderstanding, but a provocation, a provocation against you, and even more a provocation against me, Sun Tu! This has no need to be related to the severity of your injury." Sun Tu lowered his eyes and said, "I have just asked someone to investigate. Although those who hurt you are some young and innocent dandy boys, they are all the nephews of the officials in Zhuangzi's houses just been washed away by Jin Mingchi Water. In short, this is a revenge on your order to dig the dike. In big terms, it is an open opposition to the court's decision."

"Are it...is this happening?" Xu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why those people attacked him in the inner city for no reason, and while beating him and insulted him, he said that he would harm the country and the people, and he deserved to die. The grievance he just now came from this. He believed that he had always been upright and had never harmed anyone, so why was he treated like this...

But immediately, Xu Xu looked worried again: "Taiwei, the lower officials recognized that several of them were children of noble families in the court. If they really study it, I'm afraid... let it go."

Sun Tu looked at him deeply again: "I understand your thoughts, but I must not give up some things, otherwise they will only become more and more unscrupulous. Today they will attack you because of this matter. If they don't pursue it, I'm afraid that others will suffer tomorrow for other things. I can't allow such a behavior of tolerating and raising evil. You can rest assured to keep at home, and I will make the decision on everything. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Even if it's a holiday given to you by the court, it's not too late to return to the yamen when you're pregnant." As he said that, he straightened his waist and smiled at the other party.

He was still very satisfied with Xu Yan. He was a technical bureaucrat who devoted himself to water conservancy projects. He did not have too many complicated thoughts and was the talent in the court that he needed. It was precisely because of this that after knowing that he was hurt, Sun Tu became more and more annoyed and vowed to pay the terrible price.

When Sun Tu opened the door and came out, the smile on his face had been replaced by a strong murderous intent. He looked at Tang Feng who had been waiting on the side: "Have you taken everyone to the Imperial City Department?"

"Yes, they will be interrogated soon. Those dandy boys are already quite panicked now. Bei Zhi feels that as long as they are tortured, they will reveal the inside story of who they are instructed."

"Well, with the temperament and style of these people, it is indeed possible that they may cause trouble for Xu Feng because their family's property is flooded. However, it is impossible that they will be so meticulous and blocked people so quickly. Someone must be giving me some advice! What we have to do now is to dig out this person for me!" Sun Tu said gritting his teeth. Compared to those playboys who are simple-minded and used by others, the person behind this is the most damn one.

"I understand, I think I can get the answer today." Tang Feng wanted to leave after holding his fists. Sun Tu did not continue to stay here. As the Grand Marshal and in power, he had to deal with too many military and political needs. He had only left for half a day, but I was afraid that the affairs to be handled in the Privy Council would have been much better.

When the two left the gate of Xu Mansion, they were about to return, a man came quickly on the street ahead. Originally, the capital was not allowed to ride horses at will because of its large population, and this was even more so in the inner city. But now, the people came to care about these rules. Relying on their exquisite riding skills, they avoided the crowd of panicked people several times, and rushed to Sun Tu, and then they were caught off guard. They knelt down and reported: "Taiwei, something happened! Dozens of officials and lords suddenly gathered in front of the palace gate, crying and shouting for justice, and attracted more officials to check. Now there are no less than a hundred officials gathered in front of the palace. General Yang specially asked Bei Zi to report."

"What? Is this happening?" Sun Tu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he immediately guessed what was going on. It was obvious that the father and brother of the playboys responded after knowing their fate. He actually planned to take the person out of the Imperial City Department by crying and begging the emperor. They really made a good plan!

As his mind moved, Sun Tu's face became more and more gloomy, and he immediately jumped up and said, "Let's go to the palace!" He wanted to see how much noise these guys could make and how they could excuse their nephews!

When Sun Tu drove towards the palace, the scene here had become huge and uncontrollable, because more than a hundred officials had gathered in front of the palace gate, and this number was still increasing.

Although in the past two years, due to Sun Tu's deliberate suppression, except for the two major dynasties that are watched every month, officials in the capital rarely come to the palace to see him, which makes the palace quite deserted. But after all, the palace is located in the center of the imperial city, and there are many yamen in the imperial city. Everyone always pays attention to the situation there when they come and go, so every move in front of the palace gate cannot escape everyone's eyes.

This afternoon, a group of officials suddenly came to cry in front of the palace gate, saying loudly that they wanted to see the officials and make decisions for them. Although the soldiers guarding the palace gate did not let them in, they even told them to leave, and reported them to the Political Affairs Hall in advance. But in the end, they completely ignored the soldiers with knives and guns in front of them, and kept crying and begging, kowtowing, constantly saying that they had grievances to see the emperor, and threatened that if they could not see the emperor, they would never leave and kneel down and die here!

As a result, the momentum in front of the palace became even greater, and then more officials were attracted to the attention of them. Some people came over to ask what happened. At this time, some people started their performance, shouting with fear and injustice: "My colleagues, we are wronged. Just two days ago, the manor outside the city granted to us by the court's minister Xu Yan deliberately drew water, so my nephew in my family went to argue with him today. As a result, Xu Yan pretended to be injured, attracted the soldiers in the capital, and actually arrested everyone... It's fine, but now they have been taken away by the people of the Imperial City Department!

"Then what the Imperial City Department is, my colleagues should be very clear. As long as we think that our sons and brothers may be framed and tortured by those fierce guys, we will be anxious. Now that we can save them and restore their innocence, the only one who can clear them is His Majesty. We can only come and ask His Majesty... Your Majesty, I am wronged, please preside over justice for us..."

Such a distorted black and white statement really made many officials accept it. They had great prejudice against the Imperial City Department, an institution that specializes in following them. Now they heard that such a thing happened again, and they all felt even more indignant. They even ran forward and gathered with them to support them. At the same time, they also shouted loudly in the palace, saying that they wanted to see the emperor.
