Chapter 136
"I have met the prefecture chief." When I arrived at the lobby of the magistrate, Sun Tu bowed and visited him in a regular manner, but he could not see any toughness that he dared to compete with the Han family to the end.
Seeing this, Han Changzhou nodded and said, "Qianli is here, please come in and speak." Now the hall is a little bit of a yamen runner because of the existence of Han Deshu, the manager of the Han family, made him, the prefect of Kaifeng, feel a little uncomfortable. Sun Tu came at the right time.
Han Deshu, who was sitting in the guest room with his eyes closed, then slowly opened his eyes when he heard the movement, looked at Sun Tu who came in and asked, "You are the leader Sun Tu, the head of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau?" He said with a little disdain in his tone.
But Sun Tu ignored the other party at all, and didn't even glance at the end of his eyes. He walked to Han Changzhou's case and held his fists and saluted: "I don't know what instructions do the prefect summoned the officials here today?" This ignorant behavior naturally caused Han De to froze in writing, and then a hint of anger appeared.
Han Changzhou also felt trembling when he saw this scene, and calmed down before he said, "I will introduce you to you first. This is Han Deshu, the second manager of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Because you took down two yamen from the Han family for no reason two days ago, I called you here, wanting you to expose the matter as soon as possible."
"The prefect is so bad." Sun Tu shook his head with a long face and said, "The officials have never taken anyone for no reason. The two Han young masters who were taken two days ago also injured many people because they rode their horses in the downtown area of our East City. Then they acted according to the law."
Han Deshu hated him. He had never been ignored by others as a manager of the Han family? In the past, not to mention the government officials like Sun Tu, even the sixth and seventh ranks of Beijing officials would politely call him the manager of the school. But he was unable to do anything at once. When he heard them talking about his young master, he could only speak: "Sun Dushu's words are too serious. My yamen just rode a horse and ran a few steps on a whim. Why did you say that you committed a sin that was unforgivable? Even if they really hurt others, it was just a trivial matter. Why did you hold on to it?"
It was not until this time that Sun Tu turned around and looked at the other party, but was not in a hurry to answer his words, but narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you a court official?"
"Hmm?" Han Deshu felt a little strange, but he still shook his head subconsciously. Sun Tu asked again, "Is there any fame?" After the other party shook his head again, he immediately changed his color and shouted, "Then you are so brave. How dare you sit upright in front of my Kaifeng Prefecture. Who gave you this power?"
This made the other party stunned and said, "I am the manager of the Han family..."
"You also know that you are a slave of the Han family. Where can a mere low-key slave get the qualifications of being on par with our officials? Is this what your master taught you?" Sun Tu continued coldly, but Han Deshu couldn't sit still anymore. After all, it was related to the reputation of the Han family. If it spread, there would be a lot of trouble.
Han Changzhou looked at everything in front of him with a surprised look. He really didn't expect Sun Tu to be so merciless, but he also took the word "reason" so hard to stop him. Taking advantage of the Han family's power, Han Deshu, who is a slave in charge of the family, is indeed qualified to be on par with many officials in the court, but this is just a hidden rule after all, and if it is placed on the surface, it will not be recognized at all.
Until he saw him stand up, Sun Tu continued: "I have never said that they committed ten serious crimes, so they just took them down and detained them. They did not really punish them. But you said this is just a small matter but it is a big mistake. This Tokyo city is at the foot of the emperor, with more than one million officials and people. If everyone does not care about the government's ban, then the entire capital will be in chaos? Today, the two yamen in the Han family stalked horses and injured people without stopping them, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do more bold things tomorrow. Han Gonggong, since you have handed over the security affairs in the east of the city to the low-ranking officials before, you should do your best to do it, even if you offend some people because of this."
"You..." Han Changzhou opened his mouth, and could no longer refute it. Just like before, Sun Tu still had the word "Ru". He could not turn the black and white into saying that the two young masters of the Han family were not considered a violation of the law, right?
"My Duke's Mansion in Wei was granted by the late emperor. Could it be that he would ignore the court's decency because of this little thing?" At this time, Han Deshu was already a little exhausted and could only take out his big hat and pin it on Sun Tu.
Sun Tu had no intention of retreating at all, looked at the other party and sneered: "The Prince of Wei did make great contributions to the court, but this is not the capital that his descendants can do whatever they want. As the saying goes, the prince violated the law and the people, let alone just two yamen. Moreover, if the emperor is kind and truly forgiven them, you just need to submit a petition. But my Kaifeng Mansion needs to convince the public. He must not forgive their crimes because of their special status, otherwise not everyone can afford the consequences!"
This was said firmly and simply, and made Han Changzhou unable to find an excuse to object. Han Deshu's face was even more gloomy. It was because the Han family knew that this matter could not be taken out on the surface that he would come here to put pressure on Han Changzhou, and even used the strategy of raising the tiger away from the mountain to forcibly seize people.
So without refuting, Han Deshu could only stare at Sun Tu hatefully: "Okay, OK, Sun Dutou is indeed worthy of being ruthless. He really doesn't take my Duke Wei's Mansion seriously. I hope you can stay so tough in the future and say goodbye!" At this point, he can no longer communicate with Sun Tu, and he doesn't want to continue to be ridiculed here. Anyway, these times have passed, Han Yong and others should have succeeded. With Han Changzhou's courage, he would never dare to go to Duke Wei's Mansion to get people.
"Slow down." Sun Tu suddenly called him and bowed to Han Changzhou and said, "The prefect, the minister is not really trying to make things difficult for the Duke of Wei's mansion, but just to make the law clear and look at it. Therefore, there is a way to properly deal with this case."
"Oh? But what is the way to break it?" Han Changzhou was immediately delighted when he heard it. Even Han Deshu, who had a gloomy face, looked a little better, but he still had some doubts in his heart, wondering what Sun Tu sold in this gourd.
Sun Tu smiled and said calmly: "Actually, according to my Song Dynasty's laws and regulations, riding a horse in a downtown city is just a minor crime. Even if you do hurt someone, you will be given a shackle for several months, plus compensate the injured for the medicine."
"If this fails, how can my yamen be punished?" Han Deshu immediately shook his head and opposed it. This will not only cause the two yamen to suffer a lot, but also have a great impact on the reputation of the Han family, so he dare not agree.
"Manager Han doesn't have to be anxious. Listen to me. The law has a provision for atonement for money, so as long as you take out two or three hundred guan, the two yanenes don't have to suffer this flesh and blood. I think it's not a big deal to take out a few hundred guan, right?" Sun Tu continued.
This really made Han Deshu feel moved. The hundreds of coins were indeed not even a drop in the bucket for the Han family. Even if they had to compensate the injured people, the Han family would not frown. But the only question was where to put the Han family's face like this?
With the current status of the Duke of Wei, Han Mansion, the Han Mansion, was actually in the hands of a small capital in Kaifeng Mansion. This was a result that the Han family could not accept. This would undoubtedly have a huge blow to their reputation. In the future, the master's face would be lost when he went out to interact with others.
Moreover, there is another point that he relies on. If you want to save the two yamen, you may not have to bow to Sun Tu. Maybe their plan has been completed at this time and both yamen have returned home safely.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Sun Tu guessed what he was thinking and sneered: "Manager Han, do you think that since I am here and there is no one to guard the public security station, can you take the opportunity to rob the two yamen?"
As soon as these words were said, the other two people changed their expressions. Unexpectedly, Sun Tu not only guessed their final intention, but also said it in person. Looking at his confident appearance, he seemed to have expected this and made corresponding arrangements.
"Manager Han, do you think I, Sun Tu, are such a careless person. Will you come to the government office without any preparation and stay for most of the day? In fact, you are not afraid to tell you the truth. Unless your Han family is so bold that you dare to use private troops to attack with crossbows, the two yamen will not think of a step from the gate of my public security office!"
"You..." Hearing this, Han Deshu glared at Sun Tu, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. Han Changzhou was also surprised, and then smiled bitterly with shame, not knowing what to say.
The pressure from the Han family put him was indeed great, which made him quite resentful towards Sun Tu, believing that this ungrateful subordinate made him sit on this matter. If other subordinates did this and did not obey the orders, the prefect Han government would have taken his post and even dismissed him from Kaifeng Prefecture. However, Sun Tu's identity was really special. Not only was he a ninth-rank official, but he was arranged by the Privy Council, and he was also a person that Taiwei Tong valued, but how dare he do anything wrong?
It was because of the dilemma that he did not dare to offend the Han family and had no choice but to deal with Sun Tu that the Han Prefecture Prime Minister agreed to Han Deshu to lure the tiger away from the mountain. However, Sun Tu saw through this matter and told them that the road was not clear, which made Han Changzhou even more embarrassed and helpless.
"Do you tell me I will believe your nonsense?" Although he was full of doubts, Han Deshu was still holding on, and at this time he really had no way out.
But Sun Tu smiled again: "What I said is true or false, I think there will be a result soon."
Just as he finished speaking, it seemed to prove that what he said was true, a servant had rushed to the front of the hall and reported to Han Changzhou: "The prefect, the people from the Duke of Wei's mansion are outside, and they said that there is a matter of important matters to report to their supervisor."
