It was late at night and Tokyo City returned to silence. However, in the second hall of Kaifeng Prefecture, many servants still stood there without any intention of dissipating. Especially when the shouting sounds came from the General Office of the Prefecture, they were silent and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Everyone knows that the prefect Han has always been kind-hearted, and even if the people below make mistakes, they will not be punished too severely, let alone be angry in public. But today, when Sun Du led the head to take many prisoners back, the prefect Lei Ting was furious, and he was still slapped the table and scolded him. At this time, the people who were on duty outside naturally did not dare to hit the gun, and they were bored.

Han Changzhou really had reason to be so thunderous, because Sun Tu made the matter too big this time, and all this happened suddenly without him knowing it. He thought that Sun Tu said that last time in front of Mr. Yu, the Fan Yanzi case was forced to continue to investigate, which was the other party's boldest sign. It was not until now that he realized that Sun Tu was so brave that he could cover the sky. This time he had poked a big hole in the whole sky!

Having said that since he promised Sun Tu to continue to investigate the Fan Yanzi case, but only gave him dozens of subordinates, Han Changzhou thought he could not make any trouble, and maybe he could take the opportunity to waive Sun Tu's first position. But in just ten days, a small ninth-rank military officer turned the city of Tokyo upside down, which almost fainted after hearing this.

"Sun Tu, your courage is overwhelming! Let someone block the Tokyo gate, and the whole city of Dasuo captured the so-called pink swallow thief, and finally opened the gate and released the flood. What do you think is this place? This is Tokyo Bianliang, under the emperor's chariot, and many eyes are staring at us. I am afraid that tomorrow morning, the memorial of the Censor's impeachment of Kaifeng Mansion will flood my entire yamen!" Han Changzhou, who was a good-tempered person, slammed the table, and his face was a little distorted. Every time he said something that his subordinates did in the city, his heart would twitch violently. He could think of the terrible ending of being the target of public criticism, eventually being demoted from the capital, and even being removed from his official position.

This is not his unfair concern. When Sun Tu made such a big noise in Tokyo, the officials in the court would naturally take the opportunity to impeach him. And he, a small ninth-rank military officer and Dutou, naturally could not bear such a big responsibility. In the end, all the responsibilities would naturally fall on Han Changzhou, the prefect of the Zhengyin, and he would take the blame.

Han Changzhou hated him. If he hadn't been worried about Sun Tu's backing, Tong Guan, he would have ordered him to be taken down and tortured him to extricate his anger.

Facing the aggravation of his immediate superior, Sun Tu seemed quite calm. During his constant rebuke, he did not make any arguments. He just lowered his head and listened until the other party finished speaking and stared at him with a strong breath. Then he bowed and said, "Prince, can you allow the subordinates to say a few words?"

"Tell me, I want to hear what other excuses you can use to make a statement. The entire Tokyo city is disturbed by you, and people are panicked. Not to mention you and me, even those husbands in the court cannot afford to take on it." Han Changzhou finally calmed down a little, but his face was still gloomy and his tone was solemn.

Sun Tu took a step forward: "The reason why the officials did all this was not out of selfishness, but to ensure the stability of our Tokyo city and to eliminate harm to the court."

This immediately aroused Han Changzhou's rebuttal: "This statement will not be recognized by the officials in the court. Any threat a fan swallow can pose to my Tokyo city is at most abducting some women and children. As long as the government pays more attention, they will naturally not dare to act randomly."

This is exactly what the government thinks about Fan Yanzi. Even if the people suffer because of this, it seems to them is just a trivial matter. In comparison, what Sun Tu did today is something that everyone can't stand, because he disrupted the order of Tokyo City and infringed on the rights of many officials.

Sun Tu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then continued: "It's not that Xiaguan is exaggerating. There is a big secret behind this Fanyanzi. Originally, Xiaguan thought they were just thieves who made small profits, but as he further investigated, Xiaguan found that there was a big conspiracy behind Fanyanzi, and an indiscriminate organization conspiring to cause turmoil in our Tokyo city has gradually taken shape."

This sentence finally made the face of the Prefect Han Dynasty solemn: "What did you say? Take this seriously? Don't talk nonsense in front of me, trying to use any major case to cover up your fault."

"The officials dare not. If the officials had not found some clues, they would never dare to make such a big fight." Sun Tu said, taking out a file that had been sorted out from his sleeve and holding it forward in both hands: "Please also ask the prefect to check this record first."

Han Changzhou reached out to take it and glanced at the content on his head casually, but found that there were about twenty names and their hometowns listed on it. Although these people have different names and ages, they have the same hometowns - Jiangnan and Zhejiang areas!

Seeing him browsing, Sun Tu explained again: "The prefect Mingjian, the names listed above are all key figures among the pink swallows won by the lower officials. What is shocking is that these people actually come from a corner of the south of the Yangtze River."

"So what? What they did was to violate the king's law must be kept secret and to find people who are united. It is naturally a normal choice to find fellow villagers to do things together." Although Han Changzhou said this, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he obviously noticed some problems.

Sun Tu nodded: "If it were just like this, it would not be a problem. But what the officials in the end found that they were all closely related to the Qianwang Mansion. Moreover, during the investigation, the officials also found a carriage with the mark of the Qianwang Mansion! All these were enough to make the officials judge that the culprit for secretly organizing these Jiangnan people to stir up storms in our Tokyo city was Qianwang Mansion!"

After saying this, Han Changzhou was completely lost. His original anger had completely dissipated, and he replaced it with strong fear and anxiety: "Sun...Sun Tu, don't talk nonsense. This matter is of great importance. If what you sued is not true, you can destroy your three tribes!" He was not scaring Sun Tu, because this charge was almost inclined to rebel. If there is no evidence, the charges of rebel will fall back to Sun Tu.

What's more important is that the identity of the person he told was too special. The Qianwang Mansion was a veteran powerful man in the court. Although his status was not too high, it was the key to the Song Dynasty's ability to conquer the four feudals and gather people's hearts. It was not something that ordinary officials dared to provoke.

The first four words in the Hundred Family Surnames written in the Song Dynasty are Zhao Qian and Sun Li. This Zhao naturally refers to the surname of the current official family. The second-ranked word Qian cannot refer to copper coins, but a royal family from Jiangnan.

In the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with the efforts of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong and later Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the Song Dynasty had the ambition to wipe out the Central Plains. The Qian clan, the King of Wu Yue, who was in a prosperous place in Jiangnan, was the first country to voluntarily surrender. At the beginning, Qian Chu, the King of Wu Yue at that time, only paid tribute to the Song Dynasty, but soon after, he led the ministers in the court to Tokyo and took the initiative to become a prisoner of the Song Dynasty to express his attitude.

Zhao Kuangyin highly praised his approach, and then he gave him a great reward and gave him a title of royal family, which even promoted his status to second only to the royal family. Even after Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, he still took good care of the Qian family after Qian Chu's death and raised them in Tokyo with generous gifts. Until now, he is still a wealthy family in the capital.

Now, when Sun Tu opened his mouth, he deducted the charge of instructing Fan Yanzi to commit crimes or even plotting evilly in Tokyo to such a wealthy family that had been passed down for a hundred years. This was naturally enough to make Han Changzhou feel panic and didn't know how to react.

But Sun Tu still looked calm and bowed and said, "Minister Mingjian, every word that the lower officials said is true. Although the clues currently are not enough, as long as the court is willing to continue to investigate, the truth will be dug out. Also, from the newly captured Pink Swallow Thieves, we can definitely ask more clues related to the Qian Palace. When we report them to the court, we will definitely convince the world."

"You talk about carriage? How could you find the carriage from Prince Qian's Mansion?" It took a long time before Han Changzhou calmed down a little and thought of a key question.

"Because they wanted to be unfavorable to Xiaguan's family, they were captured because I was prepared. After taking them down, Xiaguan seized another black carriage and found a mark from Qianwang's Mansion." Sun Tu no longer retained it and immediately revealed all the cause and effect.

Last night, when he accompanied Ya'er to the public security office in the carriage, he unexpectedly found a small mark in the corner of the car, which was marked by the Qian Palace. It was not until this time that everything suddenly became clear, allowing Sun Tu to solve all the mystery, and finally made him decide today's strategy of seemingly reckless but actually able to completely eliminate the pink swallow in one fell swoop.

If it were just targeting Fan Yanzi, a gang of Jianghu, Sun Tu would naturally not dare to make such a big fight, causing chaos in the entire Tokyo city. But now, when things are related to some people who are interested in rebelling, it is not wrong to do anything radical.

After saying this, Sun Tu handed over another rubbing: "Please check it out. This matter is quite a bit serious. The subordinates will never dare to arrange it at will." This is his last trump card, and the key to allowing him to arrest people without any worries!

Seeing this mark that really belonged to King Qian's Mansion, Han Changzhou shivered suddenly. This time, the matter was even more serious than what he thought. But at the same time, he also savored the deep meaning. Perhaps this was really an opportunity to turn the mistake into success.

But now all this is not something he, the prefect of Kaifeng, can only wait for the court tomorrow to make a decision. At that time, will he really have the chance to open this?
