Chapter 272 Dismounting? It doesn't exist (1)

Feeling the pressure from Murong Yanchao, Yang Zhi became more and more uneasy, so he waited in front of the west gate early the next day just dawn, hoping that Sun Tu and the others could arrive in Qingzhou City before the deadline.

But it disappointed him again. When the sun sets and the city gates are closed, he can't see Sun Tu and the others. He has made him wait there for two more days with anxiety. On the afternoon of May 20th, the familiar figures slowly came from the front.

After seeing clearly that it was Sun Tu and the others arrived, Yang Zhi immediately urged his horse and quickly went forward, shouting from a distance: "Sanlang, you are here, why have you been delayed for so many days on the road..."

Sun Tu and the others also saw Yang Zhi riding on horseback from afar. They couldn't help but feel a little surprised. While greeting him, he replied: "Something happened halfway, so it was a few days later." While looking at him up and down a few more times, "Brother Yang, why are you not watching in the military camp, but you came here to wait?"

"This...oh, the situation is a bit bad." Yang Zhi immediately looked puzzled, looked at Sun Tu with some concern, and whispered Murong Yanchao's previous blame. After that, he frowned and said, "Today is two days later than the date he stipulates. It is difficult to explain if you go to see him at this time..."

"Is that so? I really never thought that he would make things difficult for you so much, but it would make you wronged." Sun Tu smiled and bowed to Yang Zhi, which was considered apologizing.

Yang Zhi shook his head: "It's nothing to suffer some grievances. I'm worried that Sanlang, you will suffer in the future. The prefect Murong has always been in power in Qingzhou and is extremely mean. As long as he takes a little mistake, he will be punished. Especially for our military officers..." Speaking of this, he remembered the military officer he saw with his own eyes two days ago and was beaten in public for a trivial matter. He really lost all his face.

Sun Tu smiled slightly dissatisfiedly: "He wants to touch me just because of such a small matter? I, Sun Tu, is a sixth-rank official appointed by the imperial court. He is the chief of the Qingzhou Prefecture's military commander. He is not an ordinary military officer. He can let him vent his anger at will." Seeing that the other party wanted to say something, he waved his hand and said, "Don't waste too much trouble here. Going to the city to meet this Murong Prefect first is the main task. As for how to deal with it, it is just a soldier who comes to block the water and soil." As he said that, he speeded up slightly and came to the city gate.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate had already guessed the identities of Sun Tu and the others through Yang Zhi's reaction. Almost everyone was looking up and down with strange eyes, as if they were gloating. However, Sun Tu turned a blind eye to this, just urging his horse into the city, with his head held high and his chest raised, which was quite imposing.

After entering the city, Sun Tu remembered something and glanced at Yang Zhi: "Brother Yang, can you buy a house in the city a few days ago? In the next one or two years, we will have to have a residence besides the military camp."

"I've prepared this a long time ago. It's in Xifeng Lane two streets away from the government office. The housing prices in Qingzhou are much cheaper than elsewhere. I spent less than 30 knots to buy a large house with three entrances and more than three deep." Yang Zhi saw that Sun Tu was so calm and his heart was slightly wider, so he replied casually.

"Since that's the case, Tang Feng, please go there and settle down first, and I will go to the government office with Brother Lu and others to do business." Sun Tu turned his head to Tang Feng, who was driving the carriage. Because he was a little scared in the village, Ya'er has not been very good these two days, and she was depressed when sitting in the carriage, so what he cares most about now is her.

Tang Feng hurriedly agreed, and then drove the carriage and a Jiangzhou soldier who came with Yang Zhi to welcome them and turned at a crossroad in front, while Sun Tu and the others continued to walk straight, and soon saw the prefectural government office that was obviously much taller and more grand than the surrounding houses.

Without Yang Zhi coming forward to introduce him, Sun Tu had already stepped forward. After two officers stepped forward to block the road, he stopped his horse and looked down at them and said, "I am the new Qingzhou Chief Sun Tu, who is here to visit the governor of Murong. I wonder if he can be in the yamen today?"

When he heard him report to his house, the two officers were stunned, and then said, "You are here to wait for us to report to the prefect..." But before they finished speaking, Sun Tu had already gotten off the horse and walked straight into the yamen. Seeing this, Lu Da just smiled and followed him, but Yang Zhi hesitated for a while before following him. At the same time, he felt even more uneasy: "What is Sanlang doing? Should he be an enemy of the prefect Murong?"

The two officers were about to stop him, but were frightened by the momentum of Sun Tu. The hand that stretched out quickly shrank back. The only thing they could do was turn around and run quickly into the yamen, and report to Murong Yanchao one step earlier.

Murong Yanchao was sitting leisurely in front of the table in the public room, copying a copybook. The chaotic footsteps of the two officers immediately disturbed his mood, causing his hands to shake slightly, and his strokes to turn a little tilted out, which suddenly changed his face and he looked up and glared: "Why are you so unruly? Go to the punishment room tomorrow to receive punishment!" He has always been extremely strict in Qingzhou. As long as someone makes a mistake, he will definitely be punished.

When the two officers heard this, their faces turned pale, but when they thought of their crime of not being able to fulfill their responsibilities, they could only report: "The Mansion, the Sun Dujian has arrived, he now..."

"Hmph, he came very early. Then let him wait outside, just say that I am busy with things now and have no time to see him." Murong Yanchao snorted coldly and cut off the words of the two. But at this moment, he saw a dusty young man walking towards him with a smile. One of the two people following him was Yang Zhi. This made his face change suddenly, and he even more angry. He slapped the pen in his hand on the pen holder, and shouted: "Sun Tu, you are so brave!" He really didn't expect that Sun Tu would dare to break into the government office and come to see him in this way.

Sun Tu had no intention of avoiding her eyes at all. He walked closer and bowed and fisted: "Sun Tu, the governor of Qingzhou, met the governor of Murong. I heard that you were in a hurry to see me two days ago, so I came directly after entering the city. I am a martial artist who does not understand etiquette, so I would like to give you any inappropriate things."

His stunning look made Murong Yanchao's anger even more, and his face turned a little blue. At this time, several government officials had already come over to the side. When they saw this, someone immediately shouted loudly: "Sun Dujian, you are too rude. When you see the prefect, you don't even pay tribute! As an official of the court, you don't even understand this qualities?"

Sun Tu had already straightened his waist at this time, and even a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "I am in Jiangzhou, and I have never heard of such a rule in Tokyo. When will the officials who are in charge of the same palace even kneel down and bow down?" As he spoke, he stared at Murong Yanchao without any reservation, obviously waiting for his answer.

Murong Yanchao was stunned by his question, but he was angry but he was not easy to answer. The Song Dynasty has always been a noble and humble military officer, and when he arrived at him, he completely suppressed the military officers under his command. Therefore, in the past, those military officers were honest in front of him, and kneeling down and bowing were common. In this way, both him and the officials under him had taken this behavior for granted. But now, Sun Tu's argument for the court system made him speechless, and his momentum suddenly became weaker.

Yang Zhi had already bent his knees slightly, but when he heard this, his old face turned red even after stopping his movements. Compared to Sun Tu's toughness, he was too courageous. But he was still full of worry. It was not a good thing that Sun Tu would anger the other party like this.

Seeing that Murong Yanchao was blocked by him and couldn't speak, Sun Tu moved again and walked into the public room, and casually chose a chair and sat down. He had no intention of treating himself as a subordinate or an outsider at all. When the other party reacted, he looked even more gloomy after seeing his series of actions: "Sun Tu, let's not talk about other things for now. I ask you why he didn't come to Qingzhou to take office after receiving the order from the court? According to what Yang Zhi said, you were delayed because of your private matters, so what would you explain this matter?" He couldn't control the other party for a while, so he could only pick the mistakes and attack.

Sun Tu smiled and curled his lips disdainfully, "Mr. Murong's words are wrong. I did come to Qingzhou to take office after receiving the transfer order from the court. However, the transfer order has never limited the date for me to arrive in Qingzhou. How can I delay it? If you want to use this, it is probably difficult to convince people, right?"

"You..." Murong Yanchao really didn't expect that the other party was so clever and eloquent. In the past, those military officers were all silent when they came to him, and only to obey orders. Today, there was a sudden person who dared to sing with him. He really didn't know how to deal with it.

Of course, this is also closely related to Sun Tu's sudden killing. If the prefect Murong was given time to prepare, it would be Sun Tu who dominated today. This unprecedented disadvantage made Murong Yanchao's heart even more angry, especially when he was refuted in front of many subordinates of the yamen. He felt even more angry and almost crazy.
