Things were indeed difficult, but Sun Tu had no intention of retreating. This was not only because he had already issued a military order in front of Xue Yuanpeng, but also to seek justice for the innocent people who died in the fire.

So at noon that day, Sun Tu took several subordinates straight to the head of the Shunshui Gang, but he did not look for Xu Tieying directly, but asked to see their leader Yan Miao. However, he was just a ninth-rank official and the identity of the head of the Kaifeng Mansion was obviously far from awe. Although he was not blocked from the gate, the person who saw them in the side hall was not the leader Yan Miao, but the head of the Shunshui Gang who claimed to be Hua Mantian.

After looking at Sun Tu with a smile, Hua Mantian smiled and said, "Sun Dutou's name has been revered for a long time. It is indeed a young hero. However, the leader of my gang Yan is not in the main hall. If you have any instructions, just tell me." As he said that, he waved his hand and asked someone to send a tray with a few shiny silver ingots in it: "These fifty taels of silver are not respectful, so please don't dislike Sun Dutou."

Sun Tu felt the contempt from the other party. He regarded himself as a place where he was from home to fight Qiufeng. However, he did not get angry. He just savored the cup of tea soup quietly, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid that Manager Hua may not be able to bear such a big deal."

"Although Hua is not talented, she still has some responsibility."

"Oh? I don't know how thirty-four lives, can you take on the major matter of a fire in Tokyo? "Sun Tu suddenly turned his face and threw out the problem. He caught his opponent off guard, and his expression changed: "What does Sun Dutou mean? Do you want to falsely blame the fire two days ago on my Shunshui Gang? Our Shunshui Gang brothers have always been abide by the law, so it is impossible for them to do such a thing!" He was indeed not slow in his reaction and immediately pushed the matter clean.

But Sun Tu sneered and shook his head: "You don't have the final say about this matter. It's up to the evidence. I have found out through various clues that this matter is related to Xu Tieying, the master of your hall in the east of the city. Today I am here to contact the main member of your gang. I wonder if General Manager Hua may be able to be this master?"

"What? This is impossible!" Even though Hua Mantian had experienced many storms and had been tempered with great scheming, he almost jumped out of the chair when he heard this, looking disbelief. Then he looked at Sun Tu: "Sun Dutou, do you have any evidence? Don't talk nonsense here and wrongly accuse my brother of Shunshui Gang."

After pausing, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Sun Tu, threatening, "Maybe Sun Dutou just took office and didn't know enough about me, Shunshui Gang. I have been taking my brothers to work diligently on the Bianhe Wharf for years, and putting all efforts into the millions of soldiers, clothing, housing and transportation in Tokyo Bianliang. Even today's officials praise our gangs, how could they do such a thing?"

"I don't care how much you did for Tokyo by Shunshuigang. I came here today just to ask Xu Tieying. As long as you are willing to hand him over, it will naturally prove that your Shunshuigang is innocent. But if you refuse to cooperate, it's hard to say." Sun Tu still looked calm, but the pressure in his words was far more than the other party.

Chen Liang, who was sitting next to him, felt very impressed when he heard this. Although Sun Du was young, his old man in his behavior was far above his own who had been in the yamen for more than ten years. He had been wondering why he didn't just go directly to the entrance of the east gate of the Chengdong Hall where Xu Tieying was, but came to the more difficult Shunshui Gang Zong Hall. It was not until then that he realized that he wanted to put pressure on Shunshui Gang and let them hand over the person to someone.

After feeling the pressure, Hua Mantian's face finally became a little ugly. After a while, he snorted: "Sun Du, you haven't said that the government has any evidence. I believe that Master Xu's character will not do such a crazy and lawless thing..."

"The morning before yesterday, Xu Tieying found a beggar leader and asked him to follow Qi Xuanhe. This Qi Xuanhe is the key figure in the Changxingfang fire this time. And I have already inquired before coming. Just two or three months ago, Qi Xuanhe had a dispute with Xu Tieying because he refused to give the batch of Shujin in his hand to your Shunshui Gang at a low price. These two points are enough to constitute evidence. Can General Manager Hua hand over someone?" Sun Tu did not hide it, and directly listed all the relevant evidence.

After hearing this, Hua Mantian smiled at the sky: "Hahaha... Sun Dutou, you are really good at telling jokes. The words of a beggar can be used as evidence of the leader of the gang's gang's murder? As for a dispute a few months ago, it was even more of a crime. My brothers in the gang are rude. After a few months, they are afraid that they have had a dispute with no less than a hundred people. Will they blame us if they die in the future? Sun Dutou, what is your intention to punish us Shunshui Gang? Are you not afraid of the coldness of the brothers in the dock?" The last sentence was a naked threat. After saying that, he stared at Sun Tu fiercely.

Sun Tu looked at him without any permission, and then said, "So I didn't say that I came to punish people from the beginning. I just wanted to ask you to help hand over Xu Tieying. As for whether he set fire to the fire, I will find out."

"As it, based on this evidence, I will never hand over Master Xu to you. If you really have the evidence, you can just take the person directly." Hua Mantian was sure that the other party had no evidence, so he said it very tough: "If Sun Duzhu had no other instructions, please go back."

Seeing that the other party issued the order to expel guests, Sun Tu was not in a hurry, and still sat upright and asked, "So, does your Shunshui Gang have to cover up Xu Tieying? Or is it that your gang members know this, and even this is what your gang leader asked him to do, so he will protect him?"

"Sun Dutou!" Hua Mantian changed color and no longer cared about leaving a merciful face: "If you talk nonsense here again, don't blame me for being polite to help. Don't say that you are the one with the head, even if Xue Tong comes, I dare not say that I am the Shunshui Gang! Today's words are over, you'd better ask me to go back."

Sun Tu looked at him for a moment and finally stood up. He really had no more clues and evidence. He came here today to put pressure on Shunshui. If they could hand over Xu Tieying, it would be better. If it didn't work, then he could only implement the second plan.

When several people walked out with the hostile gaze of the Shunshui Gang, Chen Liang looked at Sun Tu with concern: "Du Tou, what should we do next? It seems that it is really difficult to convict Xu Tieying just by the testimony of those beggars."

"I've thought of this for a long time." Sun Tu smiled: "So my purpose here today is to shake the mountains and shake the tigers and to disrupt his mind."

Chen Liang immediately understood: "What Dutou means... wants to use this to force them to take action? For example, Xu Tieying attacked those beggars when he was guilty of being a thief?"

"Yes, this is the only way at the moment. After all, the fire has burned all the clues, and Qi Xuan and Yi Death have even cut off their last hope, so they can only let themselves get lost and reveal their flaws to take advantage of it." Sun Tu sighed and said, "So you will go and bring a message to Lao Cui later, so that they must be energetic, but don't make any mistakes."

It turned out that in addition to Sun Tu bringing people to the Shunshui Gang General Hall, Cui Lue Shang and his others were also secretly sent by him to the Shunshui Gang to stare at Xu Tieying's movements. As long as the other party takes action, they will take advantage of the opportunity.

Just as Shen Liang nodded in response to this matter and planned to run over in person, a man suddenly rushed to them. It was Cui Lue Shang.

"Why are you here? Who is watching Xu Tieying?" Sun Tu asked with a deep face as soon as he saw it.

Cui Lue Shang, after gasping for a few breaths, said strangely: "Du Tou, not long ago, someone suddenly broke into the entrance of Shunshui to help the east entrance of the city to take down Xu Tieying."

"Well? Which yamen did this?" Sun Tu asked in surprise.

"We are brothers from Kaifeng Prefecture, and the leaders of Fang Aishi and Peng Dutou are also the ones who went there with them. Yan Miao, the leader of the Shunshui Gang, was easily brought out because of his presence."

Now Sun Tu and others were completely stunned. It turned out that Yan Miao was not here in the main hall. But how could the matter change by 180 degrees? And why did Fang Boyan also get involved in this matter?
