October has entered, and this year's autumn is almost over. The wind is bleak and the dead leaves are rolling up.

As the weather improved, things that were delayed by heavy rain were put on the agenda again, such as the various tasks of ordinary people, such as the government collecting autumn taxes from the people, and the autumn decisions.

However, the scene of the autumn decision this year is much bigger than in previous years. In the past, there were only more than ten or twenty prisoners waiting to be executed in the Tokyo City court, but this year, more than forty serious crimes were discharged. Moreover, when the people knew this, they even ran around and told each other, and everyone said that these guys deserved to die, and just one knife was considered a bargain for them.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because the more than 20 extra criminals were all the leaders of Fan Yanzi. After being interrogated by the Ministry of Justice Dali Temple and other judicial offices for several days, they confessed their crimes they had committed before. How many women from good families were kidnapped by them, and now they are no longer aware of where they are going, so naturally the people in Tokyo hate them to the core. Many victims of their wives and daughters' abducted wish that they could kill these thieves themselves.

As these serious prisoners fell to the ground, the case of the destruction of the Fanyanzi, which was widely circulated in the capital, was said more. Although the court deliberately erased all the contributions of Sun Tu in this case, the eyes of the people were sharp, so the streets and alleys were mostly said that Sun Du was upright and eliminated the harm to the people, which directly called him the real reincarnation of the blue sky.

Sun Tu just smiled at the praises of these people. But soon, he became a little amused again, because after this, his previous nickname of ruthlessness suddenly changed and changed to Iron-faced Hell, which is not a good name.

In fact, no wonder the people gave Sun Tuan such a title, because he was really cruel this time. The case has not yet been concluded, and the government has salvaged more than 200 corpses of pink swallow thieves from underground ditches that were swollen by the river. According to the rumors, these thieves who were drowned underground were actually life and death determined by Sun Tu's words.

Two or three hundred people drowned in one word. Even if the damn person died, the people were still frightened. So before they knew it, someone called Sun Tu Yan Luo, and finally put the title of Iron-faced Yama on his head - Iron-faced Yama, murdering people ruthlessly is like Yama!

However, apart from this title, Sun Tu did not gain any benefits from the case. His superiors and subordinates were more or less rewarded. He, the man who contributed the most and took the greatest risks, was still a ninth-rank military officer in the end, and was still the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture. Many subordinates felt that he was not worthy of this, but he did not react much to it, because he knew very well that he had offended many officials in the court this time, and of course those people could not count the credit on their own.

Perhaps because he felt a little ashamed of Sun Tu, since the end of this case, Han Changzhou and Xue Yuanpeng have not handed over any errands to Sun Tu, and only asked him to continue to guard the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau. Sun Tu was also happy to be free, especially after October, he did not do much. He only sent people to guard Mingyuefang in the north of the city, waiting for a definite news.

Just three days ago, Sun Tu finally waited for the news. He didn't go to the security office early this morning. He prepared some beef, mutton and a few jars of good wine. He hired a cart to go straight to Mingyuefang, Beicheng to meet Zhou Tong, hoping that the other party could accept him as his disciple and teach his martial arts.

Sun Tu still remembers what Lin Chong said half a year ago, and at this time he has already gained a more detailed understanding of Zhou Tong.

Although Zhou Tong is unknown in the officialdom and historical books, he is famous among the people, especially in the world. It is because he has a great martial arts skills. Whether it is fist, foot, gun, stick, or bow skills, as long as it is usually used by people, he is extremely skilled and has rarely seen an opponent for many years.

What made him even more famous was that he had several famous disciples in the world - Lu Junyi, Hebei Yuqilin, Shi Wengong, who had overwhelmed several mountain strong men with a big gun, and Lin Chong, the former imperial guard coach. No matter which of these disciples is a master of skill, it can be said that Zhou Tong is the real master of Mount Tai in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, and a true master.

Many martial arts practitioners in the world have thought of visiting Zhou Tong's disciples, but because of his uncertain whereabouts and the extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples, there are only these three disciples until today. Sun Tu was also given the guidance of Lin Chong this time, so he could only come to visit him.

When he arrived at the entrance of Liushu Lane where Zhou Tong's family was, Sun Tu had already turned over and dismounted to show his respect. After sorting out his clothes, he led the horse and led the cart to follow the cart and walked into the alley and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.

If he hadn't known Zhou Tong's address from Lin Chong, he wouldn't have believed that this generation of master would have lived in such an ordinary courtyard. Taking a breath, Sun Tu raised his hand and patted the gate of the courtyard and said aloud: "Sister Sun Tu asked to see Senior Zhou, please open the door and see him."

A moment later, the gate of the courtyard creaked and opened. Sun Tu looked up and saw a young man with a solid figure and a simple appearance smiling at him. He quickly hugged his fists and saluted: "I'm going to ask Sun Tu to see Senior Zhou Tong, Zhou. I wonder if Senior Zhou is at home?" In fact, he had already confirmed that Zhou Tong had never been out since he came here. Now he is just asking.

The other party was quite honest and nodded and said, "Sir, please come in and talk with me." As he said that, he looked at the cart following Sun Tu curiously.

Sun Tu hurriedly asked the coachman to unload the things in the yard, then bowed and said, "Thank you, brother. How dare you ask me about my surname and name?"

"My name is Zhou Xiong. I heard that you were working in the yamen?" He did not stop the driver from leaving the things. Seeing this, Sun Tu felt sure and smiled and said, "Yes, now I am a head of Kaifeng Prefecture, not worth mentioning."

Zhou Xiong just smiled and didn't go into it. Just as the coachman put down all his things and said goodbye to Sun Tu, a slightly old voice came from the half-closed room on the left: "Xiong'er, who are you talking to? But what guests are coming?"

"Father, it's Sun Tu who was introduced by Senior Brother Lin." Zhou Xiong turned around and ran back inside.

"Oh?" As he spoke, as soon as the door opened, a man slowly walked out. Sun Tu looked up and saw an old man with an ordinary figure, white hair, but red face and energetic face looking at him with a smile.

Although the old man was wearing only a cloth suit and had a smile on his face, Sun Tu could clearly feel a powerful aura from him, which made his breathing slightly rush. It was not until he took a deep breath that he recovered and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Sister Sun Tu has seen Senior Zhou."

After looking at Sun Tu for a few times, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Sun Du doesn't have to be too polite. If I were to say it, I should come to thank you. If you hadn't helped you with righteousness before, I'm afraid Lin Chong would have a lot of trouble."

"Senior is so serious. Brother Lin is my friend. Since he has difficulties, I should help him. In addition, if you are a fellow disciple of Brother Lin, please call me my name or Saburo."

"Haha, Sanlang is too humble. And these things... are too wasteful, right?" Zhou Tong pointed to the vegetables and meat piled in front of him and said with a smile, but the name was based on Sun Tu's meaning.

"This is just a little bit of my wish. I hope you don't want to dislike me." Sun Tu was completely calm at this time, and then bowed: "Actually, I have another invitation to come today. I hope you can accept me as your disciple so that I can make progress in martial arts."

Zhou Tong smiled and shook his head: "Sanlang, you are really direct."

"I am just a martial artist, and what I am most not good at is to beat around the bush. Besides, Brother Lin told me earlier that he would recommend me to his senior, so..."

"Well, Lin Chong did write a letter to me before, saying that you are quite talented in martial arts and hope that I can give you good advice. In fact, seeing that you have helped my disciple before, I shouldn't refuse. However, it's a bit difficult to take me as your teacher." Zhou Tong frowned slightly and said.

"I don't know what's the difficulty?" Sun Tu quickly asked.

Zhou Tong asked him to sit down at a stone table in the yard, poured him a glass of water, and then replied: "This time, I am old and can no longer teach my disciples to learn martial arts as before. Secondly, I can't stay in Tokyo for too long. After the New Year and worshiping my deceased wife, I should leave. In two or three months, I really can't teach you too much."

After hearing these reasons, Sun Tu was slightly stunned, but soon said: "In fact, I have some basic foundation and I don't need to start from scratch. Moreover, if my predecessors really want to teach me, two or three months will be enough for me to enjoy for the rest of my life."

"Haha, you think very clearly." Zhou Tong smiled and shook his head again. If he only gave advice to Sun Tu's martial arts, it would be very easy for a master like him. But if he really accepted him as his disciple, it would have to spend a lot of effort in the past two or three months to find out Sun Tu's shortcomings and make up for his shortcomings. This is indeed enough to make a qualitative breakthrough in his martial arts.

The old man's smile suddenly became calm again: "I am now 64. Although I have taught many martial arts skills over the years, only a few people who really get to the disciples. Do you know why this is?"
