As soon as Yu Dayong said this, Sun Tu and Yu Xiaohe both changed their faces. The latter subconsciously glanced at the door of the store. After confirming that there was no one there, he said anxiously: "How did you get such news?"

"Didn't Liu Ai Si want to punish me before? So I wanted to beg him today, but I happened to hear him talking about this matter with someone, and I plan to ask someone to go to the county government tomorrow to report it to the county court." The name of Liu Ai Si was Liu Yuan, who was only under Song Jiang in the county government, and he also had a close relationship with Ji Yang, the owner of the Ji family manor who had been rooted in for many years.

After taking a look at his father, he continued, "I was wondering if I could report this to the county magistrate first, so that I would not have to be beaten anymore." Although he said that, he clearly showed hesitation from his expression. It was obviously important, and he could not make such a decision, so he ran to discuss with his father.

Although Yu Xiaohe had some knowledge, he had never encountered such a big incident and was immediately in a dilemma and hesitation. However, thinking that Chao Gai had not arrived at the store for several days before, he believed his son's statement.

At this time, Sun Tu finally spoke: "Brother Dayong, I don't know if I should say a few words."

"Sanlang, you are like brothers, just say whatever you want." Yu Dayong said straightforwardly. Judging from his bluntly, he really doesn't treat the other party as an outsider if he doesn't avoid Sun Tu's blunt advice.

Sun Tu then said, "Actually, I think there are two questions about this matter. First, is it because of Chao Baozheng and the others? If it is not, I am afraid that Brother Dayong, you will be accused and accused. Chao Bao has always been famous in Yuncheng County. If it is falsely accused him, I am afraid..."

This made the Yu family and son change their faces, and Sun Tu said while the iron was hot: "The second thing is on Liu Aisi. If he knew that you stole his credit, how would he blame Brother Dayong? Even if you made a credit this time, you can still listen to it under his command. If he holds a grudge, he may have some means to harm you!"

Yu Xiaohe's thoughts were right in this sentence, and he immediately said seriously: "Dayong, this matter should not be reckless."

"Then should I do nothing?" Yu Dayong asked unwillingly.

"Not that." Sun Tu said hurriedly: "In fact, it is not difficult for Brother Dayong to make a contribution. He just needs to wait for Liu Aishi to assist when he exposed the case to the county magistrate. This not only reduces hidden dangers, but also allows him to make good friends with Liu Aishi."

When Yu Xiaohe heard this, he nodded: "Sanlang said, Dayong, you will do the same."

Seeing that even his father said this, Yu Dayong no longer insisted. It was not until he made up his mind that Sun Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after watching him leave, he felt a little more ashamed.

After it was dark, Sun Tu returned home with concern. Yaer, who had no need to go to the store to help in the past two days, had already prepared the meal and delivered it to him. Sun Tu, who was used to relying on her for life, was taken care of by her, smiled and took the bowl of soup cakes, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

After dinner, he said to Ya'er, who was about to lock the yard gate, "Ya'er, I have to go out later. You are at home with peace of mind. You don't have to wait for me to come back too late."

"Ah? Brother Third, you still have to go out so late? Is there anything you can't do tomorrow?" Ya'er asked in surprise. People at this time, especially people in small towns like Yuncheng County, are naturally not used to going out late at night.

Sun Tu smiled: "This matter must be settled before tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll go back." As he said that, he had already stood up to help Ya'er clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

As early as when he dissuaded Yu Dayong to reveal to the county magistrate that Chao Gai was the murderer who robbed the birthday gift, he had already had an idea and decided to notify Chao Gai of the matter before tomorrow.

After all, when he was reading the book "Water Margin", he admired Chao Gai and others. Moreover, the other party now has a good relationship with him, so he can't stand by and watch Chao Gai get into trouble.

Although it had just passed the second day of the year, it had already become quiet inside and outside the county town. It turned out that there was no one to see on the bustling streets.

The Song Dynasty, a thousand years ago, naturally could not be compared with later generations. There was no colorful nightlife. People had long been used to the ordinary life of working from sunrise to sunset. However, this was quite beneficial to Sun Tu. He didn't have to worry about being seen when he was leaking and causing unnecessary trouble when he went out.

What surprised him even more was that the gates of Yuncheng County were not completely closed, and there was also a passage for people to enter and exit, which saved a lot of effort. He did not know that compared with other dynasties, the people of the Song Dynasty were still quite relaxed, and they continued to encourage the development of business. Therefore, except for some border cities or important cities, other towns developed the habit of not closing the gates, allowing merchants to enter and exit at any time at night. It was precisely because of the implementation of this series of policies that the economy of the Song Dynasty developed to a peak that other dynasties could not reach.

After leaving the city, Sun Tu went straight to the east. It took only about half an hour to arrive in front of Dongxi Village five miles away. At this time, the village was naturally dark and quiet, and the villagers had already rested.

After carefully scanning the layout of the village with the light of the stars and moons, Sun Tu has already determined that the manor located southwest of the village is Chao Gai's residence. Although he has never been here, he also knows that as Baozheng, he is the most wealthy family in Dongxi Village, so his house is naturally the largest and most conspicuous.

No longer hesitated, Sun Tu had already stepped in and followed the path to the garden with earthen walls and an area of ​​more than three acres. He just jumped and stretched up the wall about a meter high, and then fell into it lightly, almost without making any sound.

After standing still, he argued about the layout of the house and then scratched his head a little. After all, he was just a time traveler and was not very clear about some of the current customs. The few yards in front of him really made him wonder where to start.

Just when Sun Tu decided to look around and make a decision, he unexpectedly found that there was a light from a candle in the yard in the middle. This made him slightly excited and he quickly headed there. After all, the prices of candles and lamp oil in this era were not low, and it was not used by ordinary people at home. Now lighting the lamp may mean that it is Chao Gai's residence.

After a while, he had arrived in front of the yard. After finding that there were two shopkeepers in front of the door, Sun Tu was even more convinced that he had made a mistake. He immediately went around to the shadow on the side, quietly climbed over the half-person-high courtyard wall, and easily touched the house with the lights on it.

Just as he approached the windowsill, Chao Gai's voice sounded: "...I don't understand what Ai Si said. I, Chao Gai, have always been open and honest. If I have done anything, there is no need to deny it!"

Then, a familiar voice arose: "Brother Chao, let's not talk secretly. I can come here late at night, not to fool you. I learned this news from Liu Yuan. He seemed to have mastered the clues that Liu County Yin could have taken someone to rob the birthday gift worth 100,000 yuan. Maybe when the sky dawn, the county government will send someone to come. So whether you are willing to admit it or not, you have to leave here quickly now, otherwise it will be too late!"

It was Song Jiang! Sun Tu soon heard the man's voice. He was shocked and didn't feel a little impressed by his loyalty. What was shocked was that in addition to himself, there were others who had found relevant clues, but he didn't expect that Song Jiang's eyes and ears were so well-informed that he came to report the matter immediately.

Since Song Jiang came to warn, it seemed that he would not have to come forward again. After all, Song Aisi's credibility was far higher than his. Thinking of this, Sun Tu, who was squatting under the window, bowed his body and retreated, thinking of leaving.

Unexpectedly, because it was dark, I was stepping on a dead branch and making a light sound. Although the noise was not loud, it still seemed extremely clear in this quiet night.
