Chapter 1063 Suspicion
Two days later, there was another Western scene in Tokyo, and the people also had a joke after dinner. The yamen who were always high and rampant on the streets of Tokyo were extremely embarrassed this time. They were all pulled on the crowded streets of everyone. They were carrying heavy and huge shackles on their backs, and countless people pointed at them, but they couldn't even raise their heads.
When these people were arranged to be tied to the streets for public display, there were 30% more people passing by in those places than usual. Many people came here to see them making a fool of themselves, and even there were people who did nothing all day long, and circled around the main streets of the capital to appreciate the embarrassing appearance of the young men.
But in this way, the people felt relieved, but the family members of the young master Yanei were extremely angry. This was just a slap in the face. As a result, these people naturally regarded the Ministry of Justice and Song Jiang as enemies, and many of them began to write memorials to impeach Song Jiang and the others.
Even though Song Jiang had expected this, he was still a little nervous, so he had a stern face in the yamen all day long. Until Li Kui was called to him, his face calmed down a little: "Iron Niu is here..."
"Brother Gongming, do you have any instructions to ask me?" Although the identities of both parties have changed greatly, Li Kui's temperament has not changed much, and even the title of Song Jiang is the same as before.
As a brother that Song Jiang trusted the most, Li Kui should have a place in the officialdom today. But in fact, he is still only a sixth-rank idle man in the Ministry of Justice today, and he has no real power. This is completely determined by his temperament. He is reckless and irritable, and he is simple-minded and does not have a great responsibility. However, there is an advantage, that is, he is leisurely and free, and it is also suitable for his appetite.
Seeing that he was still so lively, Song Jiang sighed without realizing it, and then said solemnly: "Yes, I want you to come today because there is something to hand over to you. In this way, you will go to the streets later and transfer me to all the places in Tokyo City, and go to each restaurant to drink some wine and eat some food. The most important thing is to talk more with the drinkers there and stay longer. Can you do it, right?"
"Ah..." Li Kui was stunned and widened his big bull's eyes. He couldn't figure out what kind of task Song Jiang had entrusted him with: "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. Look, there are still ten coins of money here. Please take it for money and don't save it for me. Just go there, go for more, eat and drink more." Song Jiang said, and took another bag full of copper coins and handed it to the other party.
Li Kui was then convinced that his brother was not joking, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly took over the bag. This was not an errand, it was clearly a benefit to himself. Speaking of which, since he joined the Ministry of Justice with Brother Gongming, he has always deliberately suppressed his nature and dared not eat too much when going out to drink. Now, he finally has a chance. It seems that Brother Gongming should be polite to him and give such benefits.
At the moment, he smiled even more happily and agreed repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go out now and eat and drink well."
"Remember, go to a few more stores and stay for a while." Song Jiang finally reminded him again, and Li Kui agreed again, and then he rushed out of the door excitedly. Just after he left the door, two agile men flashed out from the side. Song Jiang nodded to them: "Two brothers, I have followed Tie Niu, but more importantly, we must find out if anyone is following him."
These two men were the ones who were sick, Suo Yang Xiong and the desperate Saburo Shi Xiu. They were both old brothers from Liangshanbo, and they have been working under Song Jiang since then. Now they have become fifth-rank military officers of the Ministry of Justice. Everything is based on his leader, and they can be regarded as a capable general around him. However, for some reasons, there are few inside and outside the yamen who know the inside and outside, and they only regard them as ordinary officials.
The two of them did not delay, and hurriedly left after a brief fist and followed Li Kui. It was not until they left that Song Jiang let out a long breath, but he still couldn't relax. He actually paced back and forth in his public room for a long time before sitting back on the case. His furious brows still showed his uneasiness and uneasiness.
Although this is just a test, for Song Jiang, it is still an extremely risky event and may affect his own wealth and life, because it will affect what choice he will make next!
At this moment, the words written on the paper ball I took that day suddenly popped up in his mind - do you think Sun Tu really trusts you? I'm afraid that countless pairs of eyes were staring at you and your subordinates around you. As long as you show a little strangeness, the ending of Cai Jing and others will be your end. Now we are the only ones who can help you... To show sincerity, we will help you win the trust of Sun Tu this time and give you and Sun Tu a big gift. I hope that Grand Tutor Song will not let me down...
After reading the content on the paper, Song Jiang was shocked and even thought about handing over the things to Sun Tu directly. But then he found that there was no name on the paper and the handwriting was the most common style of the Pavilion, which was really difficult to use as evidence. Moreover, once Sun Tu really knew that this happened, he was afraid that the other party would doubt him.
Finally, after some trade-offs, he did not hand over the things, and his mind began to become lively. He really wanted to see the sincerity of these people.
So, there were a series of changes that followed. Those people really did what they said, giving them two ministers and dozens of yameni princes to themselves, making them make a contribution in front of Sun Tu. Such a move was indeed shocking. What surprised Song Jiang even more was the other party's meticulous means.
When he went back and thought about it carefully, he could see that everything was the plan of those people to win over him. From the officials and nobles who refused to cooperate with the court, which caused conflicts between the two sides, to the young master Yanei who injured Xu Yan in the street, to the fact that they were all arrested, causing all officials to go to the palace to cry and finally sent the person to the Ministry of Justice - all this was to give them a chance to contact themselves openly and avoid Sun Tu's attention and suspicion.
As long as they thought about the big things they had done to win over themselves, Song Jiang felt nervous and guessed that what they had planned was extremely great. Maybe... Because of this, he had to be more cautious, at least he had to figure out whether it was really like what was written on the paper, someone had been secretly spying on him and the people around him.
The time to wait for the result was always so long. Song Jiang waited around noon until it was dark before finally waiting for Yang Xiong and the others. At this time, their faces also looked extremely solemn, and there were several warning points in their eyes. After seeing Song Jiang, they quickly closed the door.
"How do you say it?" Although there was a vague answer in my heart, Song Jiang couldn't help asking. As soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice was a little astringent, which showed his nervousness.
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu looked at each other, and then the former said, "Brother, something is really strange. We followed Tie Niu all the way. He went to seven or eight restaurants and had contact with more than a dozen people. As a result, someone followed him and those who had contact with him separately. He was indeed secretly followed by someone and refused to relax at all."
"Can you find out the other party's origin?" Song Jiang calmed down a little and asked again.
This time, Shi Xiu answered: "After that, I also brought them a yellow bird and followed one of them. Finally, I found out that this person went to a pharmacy shop, and a pharmacy shop was... the brother of our former Qingzhou soldiers. I remember he was also a member of the scout camp. So I am afraid that he was not a pharmacy shop, but he was clearly... the man from Sun Taiwei, and the spy of the Imperial City Department."
Yang Xiong immediately added: "So as my brother was worried, you and the people around you have been targeted by others. No matter where they have been or who have contact with, the Imperial City Department will follow up as soon as possible and pass the news back in time. Unexpectedly, they... actually... doubt their brother so much!"
"Is that true?" Song Jiang smiled weakly, and his heart was completely calm. He was still worried about gains and losses when he didn't know the answer. Now that he had a definite answer, he was calm. In fact, it was not too sudden to think about it carefully. Although he was a veteran of the entire army, he had never been completely trusted by Sun Tu. He had always used and guarded himself, and sometimes he would deliberately beat him.
Not to mention anything else, just say that when he first entered Tokyo two years ago, his capable general Qi Huan was killed because of a trivial matter. In the past two years, those who have close ties with him, such as Wu Yong and Huarong, have not been able to truly stand on their own and have been entrusted with important tasks. This is clearly Sun Tu is suppressing himself.
As written on the paper, Sun Tu never really trusted him, just used him. And when he completely lost his value and when Sun Tu really felt that he was threatened, he would attack him without hesitation, just like killing Cai Jing and the others. No, I am afraid that I can't compare to those people, and everything I see can only be obtained through Sun Tu. Once he wants to attack, I am afraid that I don't even have the ability to resist.
After a while of entanglement on his face, Song Jiang slowly clenched his fists. Now, it seems that he has no better choice, so he can only choose to cooperate with those people to fight with Sun Tu! After all, many soldiers in the capital now have their own old brothers, and as long as both sides cooperate properly, it is enough to catch Sun Tu off guard!
And now the only question is whether they are trustworthy? Also, can they really achieve the greatest fruit afterwards?
