Chapter 555: Cut through the mess with a quick knife (2)

The prefect Weng, who was controlled and tied up by several military soldiers, was still struggling for the final struggle and shouted loudly: "Sun Tu, dare... this is not Qingzhou, and I have never had any relationship with the Jurchens. If you framed me like this, you are really lawless. The court will not spare you lightly!"

"Although this place is not Qingzhou, it is the time for Jin soldiers to invade. At the time of extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things to ensure that the local people are well-off. As for you, who doesn't know that you have a deep friendship with Zeng Nong and others in Zengtou City, you dare to deny it at this time?" Sun Tu immediately retorted. This statement was not actually about the words of the prefect Weng, but told other government officials around him to prevent them from doing something urgently.

In fact, even if they didn't say this, just looking at the murderous aura that Sun Tu led his army shocked the audience, making everyone in the government office dare not make any changes. Even when the soldiers stepped forward to take down their chief officer, none of these yamen guarded the chief, so naturally they dared not speak out at this time.

"You... you are accusing you, you want to be guilty of being punished... Then everyone in Zengtou City is my native Song Dynasty. How could it be a Jurchen? It's just an excuse for you to do something wrong!" Now that the matter is now, the prefect Weng can only grab the last straw to save his life.

When Sun Tu heard this, he smiled contemptuously. With just raising his hand, several military soldiers rushed out with Shi Wengong, who was tied up in a mess. He could understand behind his back, and he didn't need Sun Tu to ask questions at this time, so he took the initiative to say: "Master Weng, the matter is as Sun Dujian said. Zeng Lan was the Jurchen who sneaked into our Song Dynasty decades ago. Zengtou City had been conspiring with the Jin Kingdom before. They knew about the invasion of the Song Dynasty this time..."

Although Shi Wengong is a foreign surname in Zengtou City, he has a great status because of his outstanding martial arts skills. He has had many interactions with Prefect Weng, so his words are naturally not light. After hearing this, Prefect Weng was stunned and was stunned on the spot, and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, he screamed: "This is impossible! You are slandering, and I don't believe it..." He knew very well that if he had been with the Zeng family for many years and wanted to marry him, it would be enough to end up with a serious crime of being a foreign tribe. Not to mention that the official position is difficult to protect, even his life may not be saved.

"Whether you believe it or not, the fact is that. Recently, Zeng Lan has already been punished and his sons and others have been arrested. At that time, as long as you are interrogated and find relevant evidence from the Zeng family, it will be enough to make the court believe in everything that happened in Lingzhou. And what I did is to protect the peace of Lingzhou and protect the people." Sun Tu looked at the hysterical prefect Weng calmly, slowly revealed the most cruel truth, and then waved his hand and asked someone to take him down.

In fact, when Sun Tu entered the city, he did not intend to attack the prefect, and at most he would scare him. After all, he knew that his actions in Qingzhou over the years had made him very bad among the officials in the court. If he killed more civil officials in the court, he would have endless troubles. Don’t really anger all the people in the court, which would lead to out of control.

But when he saw the prefect Weng, he saw that he was distorted and used his power to arrest Chu Mingsheng, Sun Tu couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately decided to kill him to warn him so that other officials in Shandong would be more honest in the future. And this time, it was a good thing that he had indeed mastered sufficient evidence and even if he didn't really kill the prefect Weng and just convicted him and handed him over to the court, he would be hard to turn over.

Moreover, Sun Tu also believed that with this person's character, there would be no other crimes besides having an indescribable relationship with Zengtou City. As long as the matter of his being taken down today is spread, the unjust and hatred people will come and tell that all the crimes will be included in the court, which will be even more likely to block the verdicts of the court.

By this time, the prefect Weng had already believed what Sun Tu said. Although he had struggled symbolically for a few times, his appearance had long disappeared from his momentum just now, and he was like a deflated ball and could only be taken away by the military soldiers. After seeing the prefect ending like this, everyone in the government office was silent, but they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

However, Sun Tu had no intention of calculating these little people, which was inconsistent with his current identity. He waved his hand and ordered them to continue to go to various parts of the city to promote this victory and appease the people, so he let them go.

This was a great thing for the servants of the government offices. They kowtowed in a regular manner and then went to do their jobs. This time, they were more responsible than ever before. They almost explained everything that happened inside and outside Lingzhou from door to door, including the complete annihilation of the Jin soldiers, the arrest of everyone in Zengtou City, and the arrest of the prefect Weng...

This shocked the people of Lingzhou and were very happy, so soon, bursts of cheers kept ringing from all over the city, and finally the whole city was full of joy.

However, for Sun Tu and the others, it is not the time to celebrate, because there is still a big problem in front of them that has not been solved - the granary in front is still occupied by the Jurchens who sneaked into the city, which is related to the food rations of more than a thousand soldiers in the city throughout the year.

After learning about the previous experience, Sun Tu frowned. Although he could immediately order a strong attack on the granary, he might be able to break in and kill all the Jin people inside, it was difficult to ensure that they were in a hurry to jump down and kill the net and set fire to the food. It was at this time, and there was no need to suffer such losses.

But how easy is it to take them down without damaging their food?

Just when Sun Tu was a little embarrassed, Chu Mingsheng stepped forward and whispered: "Dujian, there is a way for Beizhi to try. We can use those Jurchen thieves to lure them to focus on the front, and then send elite troops to attack from the rear, or they can capture them in one fell swoop!" After pausing, he said: "In addition, Beizhi also knows that there is a wall on the left side of the back door of the granary that is most likely to be turned over, and can enter it as fast as possible without being noticed." After seeing Sun Tu's domineering aura, he was already determined to act. This time, he wanted to take the opportunity to show his abilities so as to leave a good impression on Sun Duzhi.

Sun Tu glanced at him, thought for a moment and said, "This is a solution. It seems that Chu Dujian still knows a lot about this granary."

"Haha, this is also due to the situation..." Chu Mingsheng's old face turned slightly red, and some things were not clearly stated - although this granary was used for military purposes, it was actually not in the hands of him, the governor of Lingzhou. This was also the norm for government officials in various parts of the Song Dynasty. Military rations and other things have always been controlled by civil officials.

Although Chu Mingsheng was not as brave as Sun Tu, he was not a peaceful person. He had sent people to steal into the granary several times before to transport a lot of grain to his soldiers. It was precisely because he dared to do these things that he was very prestigious in the army, and even the prefect Weng could not suppress him for a while.

Naturally, Sun Tu couldn't pursue this matter. After saying a joke, he sent someone to make corresponding arrangements. It was better to arrange the enemy who lured the enemy in front, but the attackers behind were really elite. Finally, he called Shi Qian and others in the scout camp to the front: "Your injuries are all right? But do you still have the strength to fight?"

"The governor just orders that as long as it is to kill the golden dog, no one will retreat!" Shi Qian replied immediately. Several brothers died at the hands of the golden man before, which made them all hold their hatred and need to vent their anger.

"Okay, then you will be the main attacker next, bring the crossbow with you..." Sun Tu made arrangements.

Now, as the head general of the Qingzhou Army, it is naturally impossible for him to charge forward in everything, so after some arrangements, he continued to stay in the formation, and others would execute this series of orders.

"Listen to the Jurchens inside, your conspiracy has been completely exposed. You wait for the leader Garu Huabo, Garu Huamo has been captured alive, and others will either die or escape. If you are aware of the situation, come out quickly to surrender, otherwise when our army enters, you will be asked to die without a place to die!"

A loud sergeant passed the words into the granary, which made Wei Deli, who could understand Chinese, suddenly change his face. When he translated to others, many people expressed disbelief in this statement. In their hearts, the hundreds of elite soldiers in their family were invincible, and they could cause chaos in the entire Lingzhou in just over ten people. How could the elite soldiers led by Huabo personally be defeated by the weak Song army?

But Wei Deli showed some suspicion: "But their actions are indeed a bit strange. There were sounds of fighting before, but now it is quiet outside, and they are not attacking again. Have you drawn troops to fight Hua Bo and the others? Also, how did they know the names and identities of Hua Bo and the others?"

This made everyone feel nervous, and an extremely bad idea had emerged. Everyone looked at each other. If what the Song people said was true, what would they do?

Originally, they stayed here and guarded the warehouse because they received this order and must seize the food and food supplies inside. But once there were no people outside, facing the heavy siege of the Song army, they were in a Jedi and their lives were worrying.

After a long silence, someone gritted his teeth and said, "If this is true, we can't afford the Song people!"

Wei Deli also nodded and said, "Yes, I will take the two of you here later to see what the others are. As long as they say, we will light the fire and burn the granary. Even if we die, the Song people will pay enough price!"
