Chapter 125: Willows, Darkness, Flowers, Another Village (Part 1)

In Tokyo, Bianliang has a million people. In addition to high-ranking officials and peddlers, there are actually some people who are easily overlooked by people around them, that is, those beggars who are spread all over the streets but have little sense of existence.

Although the beggars in reality cannot reach the scale and power of the world's largest beggar sect described in the novel, their number in Tokyo is still not to be underestimated. There are several beggars begging for pedestrian residents in almost every street or even every street. Moreover, these people will be completely ignored. Even if they stay in front of your door all day, as long as they don't come up to beg, everyone will think that they don't exist.

So if someone uses beggars to keep an eye on it, it is the most hidden and safe way. Who would deliberately pay attention to a beggar with a ragged clothes and a foul smell?

But after Sun Tu confirmed that there was no problem with the people in the store, and after the store owner said that it was not false, he thought of this floor, looked around, and looked at a beggar who was not a few steps away from the hotel. This naturally reminded Chen Liang and the others immediately, and everyone's spirit was also revived. In addition to being ashamed and admired, he wanted to come forward to take down the person.

But at this moment, the beggar suddenly stood up from the corner like a sense of emotion and rushed to the alley next to him in panic. Seeing that he was guilty of being a thief, Chen Liang and others were even more sure that there was a problem, so they wanted to chase him, but Sun Tu stopped him: "There is no need to chase him, he may not be the one we are looking for. Now chasing him will only alert the snake and make the clues cut again."

Chen Liang and others were already impressed by Sun Tu. Although they were still suspicious, their steps stopped: "But Du Tou, will he just let him leave?"

"Don't worry, there will always be a solution." Sun Tuchengzhu smiled in his heart: "Today you go back to the yamen first, and it's not too late to act after you have further clues." He could clearly feel that it was because of the public uniforms he and others who scared the beggar and fled in panic, so he had to use some extraordinary means.

Seeing that Sun Tu had other plans, although these subordinates had questions, they still did not raise any objections. They immediately bowed their fists and said goodbye. After identifying the direction, Sun Tu went straight to Xiangguo Temple. The people they recruited before finally got a place to use their skills.

When he first entered the first position of Kaifeng Prefecture, Sun Tu recruited Lu Zhishen's apprentices from his senior year, Tang Shiwu and other Lu Zhishen came to help him do things. But later, the plan to go independent failed to get what he wanted, so he did not really bring people to his subordinates. Now, it is time to use them, which is also a test.

After all, as native Tokyo people, these thugs are born and have skills such as inquiries, tracking and other things that the servants do not have. After all, today's people are as afraid of officials, and sometimes deliberately conceal some things in order not to cause trouble, but when they encounter thugs with the same identity, they can only tell the truth and cooperate to the end.

More than half an hour later, Sun Tu met with more than 15 Tang people who were following him to practice martial arts at Lu Zhishen. With a hope, the lazy people became diligent. When they saw Sun Tu coming, the people were even more energetic: "Is there anything to support Sun Dutou?"

"I really let you talk. Today I'm here to ask you for help. As long as I get this done, I will be able to bring you into the yamen with justification. It will not be too difficult to find a serious background in the future."

"Please give me instructions. As long as we can do it, we will definitely not refuse." Several men were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately patted their chests and promised.

At that moment, Sun Tu told them what he meant. After hearing his words, the few people frowned slightly: "Did you actually follow and inquire about the whereabouts of several beggars and find their den?"

"What, is this difficult to deal with?"

"No, it's just that this matter is too small and I can't show the methods of my brothers." Senior high school smiled and said.

Sun Tu shook his head: "This matter is not small, it is related to dozens of lives. This is the key to a major case."

When everyone heard him speak solemnly, they felt a little alert and quickly put away their contempt and promised to do the things well before leaving in a hurry.

Until everyone dispersed, Lu Zhishen said curiously: "Sanlang, what errand, you are doing recently? Why are you related to beggars? And you even have such a secret to your actions. You don't need the people in Kaifeng Prefecture to use them?"

Sun Tu naturally would not hide anything in front of Lu Zhishen, and said with a heavy expression: "The fire that happened in Changxingfang the night before, Brother Lu should have heard of it? I was investigating this case. According to the clues found so far, this is a man-made disaster caused by someone's intentional arson." As he said that, he told him all the clues he had mastered in the past two days. Anyway, he had to wait for the senior year and the others to bring the news back, so he simply talked to Lu Zhishen here.

After learning that the fire was actually released by someone, Lu Zhishen was already furious. When he heard Sun Tu mention the reactions of Xue Yuanpeng and other officials, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and slapped the table: "It's really a group of stupid officials, damn it!" Then, he looked at Sun Tu with admiration: "Sanlang, you are indeed one of us. You dare to contradict your boss and find out the truth of the case!"

"Brother Lu praised it. I'm just doing my best. And I'm just having a clue. It's still far from capturing the real murderer." Speaking of this, he said with a solemn expression: "And judging from the ruthless and boldest behavior of the other party, this real murderer must be difficult to deal with."

"Even if it is difficult to deal with, you can't forgive them easily!" Lu Zhishen said seriously and looked at Sun Tu: "If you don't have enough manpower, you can do your best. I don't believe that these thieves can really be lawless!"

The two then talked for a while, and saw that the sun was about to set off today. It was not until this time that Tang Shiwu rushed back: "Sun Dutou, we brothers and others went to investigate separately, and finally found the place where the beggars were settled, which was at the Chenghuang Temple not far from here." It is worthy of being a local snake-like figure in Dongcheng. In less than two hours, they had found the beggars' den.

When Sun Tu heard this, he got up and wanted to go back to the yamen to summon his subordinates to get people, but was stopped by Tang Shiwu: "It's all right, this will also alarm the snake. We just checked that those beggars were still scattered in the city and begging everywhere, not in the City God Temple at all. They would only gather together after dark that day. Moreover, there might be their people watching near the Kaifeng Prefecture yamen..."

Sun Tu nodded in a smooth manner: "Yes, I'm really a little too hasty."

"According to the meaning of the Sa family, don't disturb the government again. You have also mentioned that many people in the government do not want to investigate the case in depth. Maybe there are only a few people you can use. It's better to join forces with me." Lu Zhishen suddenly put forward his own opinion: "When it's dark, let's go over together and attack the beggar's den and pull the people out!"

Sun Tu made some considerations and adopted this suggestion. Indeed, no matter whether it is martial arts or credibility, Chen Liang's subordinates could not compare with Lu Zhishen. The only advantage they had was the tolerance status. But Sun Tu himself was able to represent Kaifeng Prefecture, so it would be fine even if he only brought Lu Zhishen's master and apprentice to him.

"Okay, just follow Brother Lu's wishes, and go to the City God Temple after dark!" Sun Tu said, clenching his fists violently.

More than half an hour later, the sky became completely dark, and more people also passed the news back, saying that beggars in the east of the city had returned to the den near the Chenghuang Temple one after another, and it was a good opportunity to come to the door to get people.
