Sun Tu's ability to establish his authority in public was immediately effective. After seeing the tragic experience of Huang Qi and the other two, and even Fang Ai Si's disgrace, his subordinates no longer dared to underestimate their new head, and even the look of looking at him was a little more awe.

However, soon, the corresponding consequences also appeared quickly. Just when Sun Tu was planning to ask Xue Yuanpeng for instructions to remove Huang Qi and the other party, the other party sent someone to call him over.

In the Tongguan Hall, Xue Yuanpeng looked at Sun Tu who was standing below with a serious expression, and did not speak for a long time. He was really a little troubled. He really didn't expect that this guy had such a big storm in just a few days after he came to the yamen, and he offended Liao Tongzhi.

Just now, Liao Chunfang criticized the common people and arranged himself in. Although he was finally held back by himself, Xue Yuanpeng still felt very uncomfortable, so he called Sun Tu to come and scolded and warned him. But after calming down a little, he couldn't say anything to him.

After all, Sun Tu is different from other Dutou, and he has a big backer like Tong Guan, so he can't deal with it at will with just a judge. Since some conventional methods are completely useless to him, why bother to be this evil person?

So after weighing the trade-offs and silence, Xue Yuanpeng said, "Qianli, although you have taken the word "reason" today, you are still too fussy to act, especially when dealing with Fang Boyan, it is too indecent."

Sun Tu was a little surprised. Why didn’t Xue Tongjue become as angry as he thought? But this was a good thing for him, so he just responded honestly: “What Xue Tongjue said is that the lower officials are indeed a little anxious and act too recklessly. However, the lower officials also knew that they were young and experienced, so they should not be too weak to convince the public. Moreover, they were indeed wrong today…”

Xue Yuanpeng waved his hand and interrupted his explanation: "This official naturally understands, so I just defended you from the prefect. Originally, Liao Tongzhi wanted to use this to cure you, but I was also punished by him."

After pausing for a moment, he said seriously: "This time I can certainly help you excuse me, but it's only for a while. If you can't even do your own job well, then Liao Tongzhi will take advantage of the problem and I will not be able to save you for the second time. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, the judge Tong, for protecting his subordinates." Sun Tu hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and then said: "Since the judge entrusted the responsibility of rectifying the stability of Dongcheng to the officials, I must do my job well. To do this, I must hold the hearts of those people below, and today's work was a last resort. And as of now, the effect is still there, at least the others have been convinced, and it will be much easier to make them follow the orders."

"Well, this is the best." Xue Yuanpeng nodded with satisfaction. He said this just now, of course, to make plans early. Once Sun Tu has any omissions in the security of Dongcheng, it would be legitimate to ask for punishment again, and he could even take advantage of Liao Tongzhi's hand to remove himself.

Although Sun Tu didn't know his true intention, he also saw that the other party was interested in turning the page over, so he took the opportunity to say, "The judge has two things to ask for."

"Let's talk." Unexpectedly, the other party would climb the ground to use this trick, but Xue Yuanpeng could only cooperate temporarily at this time.

"One of them is about how to send Huang Qi and the other two. The following officials' opinions are too great to keep them, otherwise it will not only cause the confusion of our morale, but also damage the reputation of Kaifeng Prefecture. As the conscripts of Kaifeng Prefecture, they actually helped a debt collection that would put out seals and hurt people. If the generals were sent out, I don't know what the people thought, many censors from the Censorate might also take advantage of the issue." Sun Tu had already thought about the words, and at this time he said it was natural and smooth.

Not only did he humiliate Huang Qi and the other two in public, he now plans to completely cut off their retreat. This is really cruel. Judge Xue Tong was muttering in his heart, but Sun Tu's next few words forced him to think deeply. Although things may not have such a bad result, as long as there is a slight possibility, he cannot take this risk. Compared with the face of the yamen and officials, the positions of several servants can naturally be completely negligible.

So after only a moment of consideration, he nodded and responded: "This is indeed reasonable. The three of them have done many mistakes on weekdays, but they have not changed their minds. Today, they have committed multiple crimes and dismantled them in public!"

"Yes, the magistrate is wise." Sun Tu was happy and quickly flattered. The most advantageous thing about kicking these three people out of the yamen is naturally himself. At that time, there will be their lessons, and no one will dare to disobey his orders.

"What about the second thing you want to say?"

"The second thing is about how to manage the east of the city. The officials thought that it would be impossible for us to manage the east of the city in the government office. Not only did we lack deterrence, but it would be too far away if something happened. So in the eyes of the officials, we should directly send people to guard the east of the city, just like soldiers patrolling the city to prevent accidents."

"Hmm?" Xue Yuanpeng looked at Sun Tu thoughtfully for a while. The other party's idea was obviously to transfer himself to the east of the city. This really violated the habits of the officialdom.

You should know that many of the credits in the officialdom are decided by the boss. As long as you perform well in front of your boss, you will have hard work even if you don’t have credit. If you have any mistakes, you can still shirk them. Now that Sun Tu actually asks to be transferred to the east of the city, the responsibility will be even greater.

This is somewhat similar to the difference between Beijing officials and foreign officials. In terms of obtaining credit and the convenience of promotion, the former is always better than the latter. But then he thought about it, Xue Yuanpeng seemed to have felt something again: "You are worried that Liao Tongzhi would make things difficult for you, so he asked to leave the government office, right?"

"This is just one of the reasons, and there is a more critical point." Sun Tu did not hide it, and took a step forward, lowered his voice slightly and said: "The magistrate should have heard of it. Some thieves in the city were unscrupulous because someone was secretly helping them, causing the government to lose time. The officials were worried that they would be exposed to the wind, so they thought of leaving the crowded government office..."

Xue Yuanpeng's face changed slightly. This guy really dared to say anything. He actually suspected that his colleagues in the yamen were coming. But after thinking about it, he had to admit that Sun Tu's worries were reasonable. In fact, he knew the inside story very well, but it was difficult to explain it clearly, and it was even more impossible to solve it.

After a while, he looked at Sun Tu solemnly: "Do you think you can get the job done by leaving the government office?"

"At least there is a chance. I wonder what the judge intended?" Sun Tu looked up at the other party, his eyes full of sincerity.

"I am as you wish. After I report to the prefect, I will arrange for you to take people to the east of the city. However, I will put my words here. If you cannot finish your job in the end, even if you are a ninth-rank official, you will still be severely punished. Also, you can't give too many people to you for the time being. Is there any problem with those twenty people, including Chen Liang and Lu Fang?" Xue Tong was also a man with some determination and courage, and immediately responded to this matter.

"It's enough to have them. If people really need them, the officials will find a way for themselves." Sun Tu said, clasping his fists again: "Since Judge Xue Tong trusts so much, the officials will do their best to restore stability to the people in the east of the city."

When he came out of the Tongzhan Hall and walked to the courtyard of the Second Hall, Cui Lue Shang and the two officers leaned over nervously: "Sun Dutou, isn't it difficult for you?" His tone was full of concern.

Sun Tu smiled at them and said, "You put your heart in your stomach. Judge Xue Tong is very fair. How could he blame me like this?" As he said that, he glanced at a servant who was secretly looking at him from a distance, and he deliberately increased his voice and said, "And he also followed the request of his official and decided to dismiss Huang Qi and the other two. Since they are unwilling to do good jobs with peace of mind, don't do things in the yamen."

These words changed the color slightly, and I didn't expect that what Sun Tu said before would be true. At this moment, everyone's awe for him became more and more serious, and Cui Lue Shang was happy, both for having a sigh of anger and for his previous choice.

When Cui Lue Shang and the others turned around and told everything truthfully, the officers completely cut off other thoughts and made up their minds to obey Sun Dutou's orders. It was not until this time that Sun Tu really lowered his hands and subdued them.
