At dusk, Qingzhou City, which was already deserted during the day, became more and more depressed. Most of the people had returned home and closed their doors, and only a few were still rushing to the road. At this time, an army suddenly ran forward along the empty street, which naturally caused many people to be panic. Many people secretly opened their doors through the cracks in their homes, guessing which family was going to be harmed by the government again.

But soon, the sharp-eyed man saw some difference. The number of government troops dispatched this time was too many, with more than 500 people. And looking at the appearance of this army, it was quite different from what we had seen before, and the spirit seemed to be different from the invincible Qingzhou Army a year ago.

"Then...that's..." Then, the person with enough eyes stared at the person leading the team in surprise, and his heart was already filled with ecstasy: "Is Sun Dujian back? He was not harmed by anyone!" As this idea arose, many people plucked up the courage to walk out of their homes, and then watched the army rush directly to the government office. After quickly dispersing, they surrounded the yamen that represented the majesty of the government.

At this time, the seven or eight servants guarding outside the yamen were already completely shocked by the murderous army in front of them. Before they could react, more than a dozen soldiers rushed over and pressed all the guys who were usually pretending to be powerful and tied up without much effort.

Several people struggled hard until this time and shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?" But before a few words were spoken, soldiers came forward with a gloomy face, picked up the knife, and sucked it hard on their faces, slapping their teeth and blood, and their cheeks quickly swollen, but they didn't dare to yell anymore.

The people who came by the side were brave enough to see the final answer were aware of these servants, but they didn't dare to applaud the situation in front of them. However, they had already confirmed one thing at this time that Sun Dujian was back!

This understanding made the people around them feel joy. For more than half a year, they have been thinking about the good official who is willing to make decisions for the people, extinction of bandits in Qingzhou and the prosperity of the people. Especially compared with the two later officials, Sun Dujian's image is really tall to the extreme. Now, when everyone is about to be unable to stand it, he is really back!

Sun Tu also turned around and glanced at the excited people, but he was not in a hurry to tell them anything. Instead, after asking people to guard the officers, he stepped into the government office seriously. The battle was his only purpose of entering the city today!

At this time, more than ten people sitting in a flower hall in the government's yamen hall were still not sure what was happening outside. They were drinking with joy and talking about some interesting stories in the officialdom. They were the prefect Gao Xiang, the seated prefect, He Mo, the second seat, and some other officials who had newly entered the government. At the last seat of the banquet, there were three men with uneasy faces and incompatible with the joyful environment here, which were Lin Chong, Qi Desheng and Yang Zhi.

Although the three men who were half a prisoner didn't know what Gao Xiang suddenly called him, they didn't dare not come. However, when facing a table of sumptuous food and food, the three men had no appetite to eat and drink, and were waiting for the two of them to speak as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

It was not until after a long time of joking that Gao Xiang turned his attention to the three of them and asked with a smile: "Why, are the wine and food here not suitable for the taste of the three of you? Why don't you eat and drink?"

"No, no. We just have something in our hearts and have no appetite for a moment." After pondering for a while, Lin Chong decided to ask the other party's intentions directly: "I wonder what instructions did the Gao Zhifu and He Dujian call us here?"

"Is Teacher Lin still so anxious? It's so difficult to have a chance to stand out in the officialdom." Gao Xiang smiled and said with a kind look: "Since that's the case, in order for you to drink with peace of mind, I will just say it directly. In fact, whether it's the case or He Dujian, I still value you quite a lot. I heard that the Qingzhou army was able to win repeatedly before, because you have benefited from fighting, but it has nothing to do with Sun Tu. So today, the Japanese official would like to ask you, are you willing to let go of your previous prejudices and do your best to do your job and He Dujian, and lead your troops to fight him for a few battles?"

Hearing this question, the three of them breathed a little relieved. After looking at each other, Lin Chong still said: "Secret officials and others are court officials. They should be careful to defend their duties and to suppress the enemy and destroy the thieves for the court. As long as the prefect and the chief supervisor are willing to believe in us, we should do our best."

"Okay, the three of you are still concerned about the court and are the pillars of my Qingzhou. Since that's the case, I will feel relieved. Come on, let's drink a full glass first, and I will apologize to you for some inappropriate practices before." Gao Xiang immediately smiled and picked up the wine glass and signaled. At the same time, although He Mo had a little unhesitation on his face, he still raised the glass.

Seeing this, the three of them dared not be arrogant, and they raised their glasses to respond. In fact, they also hoped to take the Qingzhou army into their own hands. Before, they saw their previous subordinates who were constantly killed in battle due to the random command of some people, their hearts were bleeding. So even if they were suspected of surrendering to the enemy, they would not care about it at this time.

But just as they drank the glass of wine and before they could say anything loyal to each other, Gao Xiang frowned again and said, "But after all, there are still some crimes on you and the three of you who have not been removed. I really don't feel at ease to entrust Qingzhou defense to you."

The three of them immediately understood that the other party was going to negotiate the conditions. After hesitating, Yang Zhicai asked: "I don't know what else is the order from the Gao Zhifu that I asked me to do, but please say it bluntly."

"A few people are really straightforward, so I will no longer go around in circles. It is not difficult for you to return to the army to continue leading troops, but you need to agree to the official first, that is, to sign and seal this thing. Once you do so, I will use you more. At that time, I will destroy the Liangshan bandits, and the court will reward you with merits and reward you with merits!" Gao Xiang waved his hand, and his servant brought a pre-prepared memorial book and delivered it to the three of them.

The three of them were a little surprised. Gao Xiang was so easy to talk to and didn't make much trouble for them, so he returned the military power to them again? Is this because the pressure of suppressing the thieves is too great now, and they are not sure of having to compromise?

Thinking in my heart, they had opened the memorial, and after only a few glances, the faces of the three of them changed: "Gao Zhifu, what do you mean? You actually asked us to sign a name to impeach Sun Dujian and he had a ill-disciplined act..." This memorial was accused by Gao Xiang of Sun.

The way is Qingzhou, he has self-respecting troops, and there are all kinds of unscrupulous attempts to rebel. Once this is really sent to the capital and falls into the hands of the court, the consequences will be too serious.

Gao Xiang smiled distractedly: "What, is there any problem with this? Sun Tu had previously slaughtered officials in Qingzhou, and secretly promoted the number of troops and horses. Does all kinds of incorrect actions mean that he has the intention of being an unjust? As his subordinate, it may be considered as a crime and making meritorious service at this time, otherwise, he would be a co-conspirator, and the charge was quite serious!" At the end of his speech, the smile on his face had become a little gloomy, and the meaning of threat was clearly revealed.

He Mo also spoke quietly at this time: "If you are willing to sign this, and add another confession to Sun Tu's various rebellious actions, the prefect and the official will use you again, otherwise, hum..."

"Actually, this has no loss to you, and Sun Tu has already died in the Liao Kingdom. Can he come back to take revenge on you?" Gao Xiang then added.

In fact, this was not his original intention, so he came out like this because his backer wanted to use Sun Tu to make a work. If he had followed his thoughts, why would Sun Tu have to pay him such a crime?

"You... Sun Dujian has always been loyal to the country. Even if they really kill Murong Yan and others, they will collude with bandits and bandits to harm our Qingzhou military and civilians first. He will never be disobedient!" Yang Zhi took the lead and spoke loudly and rebuked.

Lin Chong then said, "Yes, Sun Dujian is upright, how could he do such a thing? He has sacrificed his life for the country now. Don't even think of throwing him such dirty water. Even if I, Lin Chong, dies, will not do such an unjust thing!"

Seeing that the two of them were so decisive, the faces of several officials slung, and He Mo even slapped the case and shouted: "Don't be ungrateful, don't toast or eat and punish the wine! If you take them all down as Sun Tu's accomplices, I think you can still be as stubborn as you are now!"

Gao Xiang was much more calm than him. At this time, his eyes fell on Qi Desheng, the only one who had not spoken: "Qi Desheng, I know that you have been in Qingzhou for many years and have always been loyal to the court. Don't be as unsure of right or wrong as they do. I heard that you are the best at leading troops. As long as you are willing to sign and seal it here, I will help you with your future."

"I..." Qi Desheng showed a little hesitation. Unlike Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, his relationship with Sun Tu was not that deep, and his family was all in Qingzhou, which really made him dare not take the risk of becoming enemies with Gao Xiang and others who had already grasped the overall situation.

Poor Lin Chong and Yang Zhi have excellent martial arts skills. In fact, it is not difficult to kill these people in front of you. However, because of your concern, you were forced to be unable to resist by several civil officials who were powerless. After all, this was the national policy of suppressing military generals in the Song Dynasty, which made these military generals unable to give up.

Just when Lin Chong and Yang Zhi were anxious but powerless, Qi Desheng was in a dilemma, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall: "Since you want to deal with Sun Tu, why don't you do it yourself? After all, it's because you are just a group of brave bandits who can only do some conspiracy!" As soon as the words came, the door of the hall was kicked open by someone, and a sneered young man Shi Shi walked in, and then seven or eight military soldiers followed in...
