Sun Tu had already made his own judgment about why Tong Guan compromised and agreed to Gao Qiu to extend his hand to Qingzhou. In his opinion, Tong Guan was forced by the situation, and Qingzhou was not under his control, and when Sun Tu died, he had no better choice. After all, what he abandoned was not Sun Tu, a capable subordinate, but Qingzhou and the soldiers and people who had little to do with him.

But now, since Sun Tu is alive and has returned to Qingzhou and regained control here, the situation is completely different. How could Tong Guan bow to Gao Qiu again?

"Although the words of the governor are reasonable, but..." Huang Wenbing still hesitated after understanding it, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. Sun Tu already understood what he was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I know very well why Tong Guan made concessions and compromises, because he went to Liao Kingdom this time not only failed, but also caused a lot of trouble, which made Gao Qiu and the others seize the handle and take the opportunity to reduce their power. But since I am back, things will naturally be very different." Speaking of this, he took out a puffskin drawing from his sleeve: "As long as you send this picture to Bianjing and hand it to Tong Guan, it will be enough to make him straighten his chest in the court and speak!"

This seemingly simple sheepskin map was the defensive map of the Liao border army that Sun Tu took from the hands of the Sponsor Suifeng and brought back by him after several twists and turns. The drawing was previously hidden by him in the middle of the ring, and it was not until it was taken out.

After hearing his explanation, Wu Song's eyes shone: "This map is a good thing, and it is indeed a great achievement to hand it over."

"And I have to give Tong Guan more than this great contribution. In the past six months, I have made a lot of contributions to my Song Dynasty in Xixia. Now, the domestic chaos in Xia is still because of me." Sun Tu smiled and simply told him about his experience in Xixia. This made the two of them stunned. If they hadn't been familiar with Sun Tu and knew that he wouldn't lie on this matter, they would have thought it was a big talk.

He was alone in another country, but not only returned safely, but also turned the Western Xia court upside down, causing his father, son, king and minister to turn against each other. Such contributions are simply difficult to describe.

"Du...Dujian, if you do such a big thing in Xia Kingdom, can they still make you return safely?" In amazement, Huang Wenbing couldn't help swallowing his mouth and said in a daze.

"This is all due to my luck, so it's safe. Fortunately, everything has passed. After this incident, Xixia will never be able to spare any more hands to threaten the safety of the western part of the Song Dynasty for at least several years." Sun Tu smiled casually: "So if I give this credit to Tong Guan, would you say he would still be afraid of Gao Qiu and others? He just needs to say that I went to Xixia to follow his order, and the emperor would naturally give him a lot of reward."

"If this is true, indeed..." Huang Wenbingshen nodded with agreement. But then frowned and said, "It's just that this happened in Xixia after all. What if those people in the court refuse to accept it? I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to prove it, right?" The Song Dynasty could not let the Xia people testify about this.

However, Sun Tu had already prepared: "I met Mr. Li of the Ministry of Rites at the mansion of his Privy Councilor Uguruga when I was in Xingqing Prefecture. He could still testify to this matter. As for how to make him speak, Tong Guan naturally had a way." Speaking of this, the two of them had no doubts. In this way, they could take advantage of Tong Guan's power and firmly grasp Qingzhou in their own hands under his protection.

In fact, Sun Tu has another extremely critical point that has not been mentioned, that is, about Gao Xiang's identity and their actions to frame him for being rebellious.

Why did Gao Xiang do this? He had to impose such a crime on a man who seemed to have been dead for a long time? Of course, he could not have avoided worries, because Qingzhou was already in his hands at that time, and Sun Tu's subordinates were controlled by him. He never expected that Sun Tu would come back alive, so the only explanation was that he did this by being instructed.

As Gao Qiu's nephew, he naturally doesn't have to think too much about who he will be instructed. As for why Gao Qiu did this? Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is in Pei Gong, and his goal should be Tong Guan behind Sun Tu!

Sun Tu was the one who was recommended by Tong Guan. Once he was confirmed as a crime of ill-conspiracy, what should Tong Guan, who was the master, have to be punished? At that time, even if the emperor trusted him, he would have to demote him from afar and dare not entrust him with important tasks.

It can be said that Gao Qiu's move is indeed beautiful. He first used Tong Guan's failure to go to Liao to force him to transfer control of Qingzhou, and then let his confidants collect the crimes about Sun Tu in Qingzhou, and then used this to attack Tong Guan. Once the matter was done, Tong Guan could be easily driven away!

But he had made great calculations and did not count on Sun Tu's return safely. Now, what Sun Tu has to do is to send the memorial together with the credit and rhetoric to Bianjing, and Tong Guan will naturally know what to do.

Even though Sun Tu did a bit too much in Qingzhou, he would kill officials at will without reporting the court again, Tong Guan could always help him cover up. Moreover, he did not intend to let Gao Xiang and others go so easily. The mistakes they made in Qingzhou were not something that could be forgiven by killing them with just one knife!

Since Sun Dujian took all the details into consideration, Huang Wenbing and Wu Song stopped talking, and everything should be done as he decided.

In the afternoon of the same day, the government office began to accept lawsuits from the people in the city. Anyone with grievances could be told in court.

Therefore, the most spectacular complaint scene in Qingzhou City's history appeared in front of the prefect's office, and the miserables who lined up to complain were all lined up for several miles. When they saw this spectacular scene, everyone truly intuitively understood how many evil Gao Xiang and others had committed here in the past six months.

When Gao Xiang and other officials were escorted to the hall to kneel on their trial, they were even scared by the endless stream of victims in front of them. At this time, they had no courage to refute or whine, but they listened to the people's rebellion, causing many crimes that destroyed their families one by one, and finally their faces were ashamed...

This strange scene of civil servants suing officials lasted for three days. When Sun Tu sorted out the relevant complaints together, it was several feet thick, which was really shocking to see. Sun Tu patted the complaint in front of him and stared at the officials who had been numb and said, "I heard that someone had done so many evil things in the past, but I still don't understand it. But today, the few people really expressed this statement perfectly. Gao Xiang, Zhang Qing, Li Nian..." He called these people's names one by one, and finally his face darkened, and asked, "What do you have to say at this time?"

After hesitating for a while, Gao Xiang laughed bitterly: "What are you saying... It's just a success and a defeated enemy. Since you are already sitting on top of him today, why should we be more whining? But if you want to kill us like this, it may be a big violation of my Song Dynasty's laws and regulations!" At this time, his only hope was to be escorted to Bianjing alive, at least he still has a backer there.

But Sun Tu immediately broke his fantasy: "You are hurting the countless soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou, but you are still dreaming of living? He Mo has been waiting for you below for a long time, and now it's time to let you go!" As he said that, he suddenly raised his voice: "Come, ask them to sign and seal it, and then drag it to the crossroads and behead the market in half, thinking that those who come later will learn from it!"

Originally, Sun Tu wanted to cut these guys alive, but he could not find anyone in the city who knew this skill. In fact, there was no torture of Ling Chi in the Song Dynasty now, and the heaviest punishment is to cut it in half. So he could only give them a discount.

After hearing Sun Tu's order, the guys who were already in a state of despair were really panicked and hurriedly twisted their bodies and struggled, calling out that it was wrongful and that it was forced by Gao Xiang to do something that was against his heart.

Gao Xiang shouted loudly: "Sun Tu, you are lynching and killing the imperial officials indiscriminately. The imperial court will definitely not allow it... I am the nephew of Taiwei Gao's clan, you can't treat me like this..." In panic, he could only use Gao Qiu as a talisman.

Gao Qiu's reputation is still useful in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. At least most officials dare not offend the emperor's favorite minister. But Sun Tu is obviously not among them. This time, he is Gao Qiu's nephew, even Cai Jing's son, and even if the prince comes, he will definitely kill him!

Sun Tu had this attitude, so his soldiers naturally would not have any concerns. At that moment, dozens of soldiers came to the court, and several officers controlled one of them forced them to put their handprints on those crimes. If they dared to swear and resist, they would be beaten up.

Suddenly, the hall screamed constantly. After suffering a lot, these people finally surrendered, signed their names on the crimes one by one, and pressed their handprints. This was to admit all the crimes, and they didn't even have time to see what was written on the head.

Although doing this seems a bit condemned, Sun Tu didn't care about such details at this time. For such evil people, he should use more evil methods than them!

Until hundreds of crimes were confirmed one by one by one, several people collapsed on the ground. While communicating with tears, they kept begging Sun Tu for mercy, hoping that he could spare his life. But how could he be soft-hearted at this time? He just waved his hand and asked someone to drag them out and drag them outside to execute the execution.

Instead of watching them suffer the torture like many of the people under his command, Sun Tu sorted out the crimes in the hall and picked out a few of them and put them on the top.
