It was not until after listening to Xie Mo's story that Su Mao learned the twists and turns and the truth. He also realized that the rumor that Sun Tu killed Mr. Xie was a completely misunderstanding. Sun Tu not only did not hurt Xie Mo, but saved his life. The people criticized Sun Tu for being cold-blooded and bloody killing and wronged him.

After a long time of stunned silence, Su Mao looked back again: "I wonder what you are doing when you come to Suzhou today? Could it be..." At this point, he suddenly thought of something: "Is it related to the Shandong army in Changshu and confronting Wu army?"

As a great merchant in Jiangnan, the Su family was naturally very knowledgeable, and it was certainly impossible for Changshu to hide the war from them. Not only did he know the identities of the two sides of the war, but he even knew the process and details of the battle during this period, and knew that Sun Tu and the Shandong Army had fallen into great difficulties at this time.

Xie Mo smiled at him: "Brother Su's mind is still so quick, it's a good idea. Here I am really related to General Sun and the Shandong Army. However, this matter is important after all, and I dare not make any decisions. So today I am just a referee. The one who really wants to talk to Brother Su in detail is someone else."

"But who is it?" Su Mao asked in surprise. As he said this, the door of the abbot's room opened again, and a heroic and agile young man had already stepped in.

Although the other party just stepped into the room, the invisible momentum it had emerged was pressing up like a mountain, which made Su Mao's breathing stagnate. His body subconsciously stood up and said a little awkwardly: "You are..."

"I've seen Mr. Su in the morning." Sun Tu had already arrived in front of him in two steps, and fisted casually, revealing his identity. However, Su Mao's face turned pale. This time he really couldn't even say anything. He widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Sun Tu's appearance was indeed too unexpected. You should know that this place is outside Suzhou City, and now it has become the territory of Wu, and he is a general of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, at this time, fierce battles were in full swing in Changshu. How could he, as the chief general of the three armies, dared to leave his army and horses and come here to meet an ordinary businessman?

For a moment, Su Maodu had the idea of ​​escaping from here quickly, because he knew that Sun Tu would definitely not be a trivial matter in front of him, but a major matter that the Su family might not be able to withstand! But as the door of the room was closed from outside, he quickly gave up this unrealistic idea. Since Sun Tu has shown up, how could he let him go?

Fortunately, Su Mao had finally seen many storms in his business for many years, so after a slight uneasy, he finally calmed down: "It turns out that General Sun was here, and Su Mao was really disrespectful. I wonder what you are doing when you come to see me?" His words were clearly organized and stable, but a trembling voice still betrayed his heart.

Sun Tu slightly restrained the evil aura emitted from his body and sat on a cushion next to him. Then he smiled and said, "I'm taking the risk here, so I'm naturally saving others and myself."

"How do you say this?"

"Save you, save myself. Mr. Su should know how dangerous his situation is. If he doesn't cooperate with me this time, maybe in the past period of time, your Su family's business will be swallowed up, and even the whole family's life may not be able to be saved. Of course, if you are willing to help me, this danger will not exist. At the same time, I can also win a big victory against the opponent La's anti-army, which is a win-win situation." Sun Tu casually expressed his intentions.

"General Sun is a bit alarmist. My Su family has always been a business person. He never does anything that harms the world. How could he cause any disaster to kill the family?" Su Mao, who has slowly recovered, has become a mature and steady businessman, and has become much more comfortable in dialogue with Sun Tu.

"Is that true? I can't see it." Sun Tu laughed and shook his head: "Since Mr. Su refused to admit it, let me analyze it for you. You were originally a subject of the Song Dynasty. The Su family could rise rapidly in Jiangnan before, and the government would probably be protected by the government. But when Fang La's anti-army rebels rebelled and attacked Suzhou, what did you do? He surrendered the anti-army and provided them with a lot of money, grain and convenience later. These things would not be wrong, right? If our Song Dynasty soldiers returned to Suzhou and wiped out this rebel, I don't know how your Su family should do it? I'm afraid that even if you save your family's property, it would be difficult to save your family's lives.

"Of course, you can also insist that Fang La's anti-army would not be pacified by my Song Dynasty, but in my opinion, even if such a situation occurs, the result of your Su family may not be much better. Although Fang La's anti-army is aggressive, can he really fight against the Song Dynasty with the power of a corner of the south of the Yangtze River? Not to mention anything else, the money and food required for the two armies to fight may not be able to deal with the anti-army that only knows how to smash and loot. In order to win the hearts of the people, they naturally dare not attack ordinary people. How dare you ask, who will they attack? I'm afraid that a big family like the Su family will become the fat sheep in their eyes and the fish on the chopping board. At that time, as long as you commit a crime at will, it will be enough to ruin your whole family and kill your whole family!"

After saying this, even though he was as steady as Su Mao, his face turned a little white at this moment, and his eyes were even more worried. In fact, he had already thought about what Sun Tu mentioned, but he was so powerful that he could only go all the way to the dark.

In the past two months, local Wu officials in Suzhou have collected a lot of money and grain from the Su family under various names many times. Although he gave them all, he was always uneasy, fearing that one day he would take away everything he had worked hard to manage. However, this kind of thought Su Mao has been buried deep in his heart. Until today, Sun Tu revealed it in one fell swoop, but the impact on him was particularly huge.

After saying so many words, Sun Tu seemed to be very leisurely. He even poured himself a cup of tea and slowly drank it to moisten his throat: "So for your Su family, no matter which side you choose, it is a dead end. Don't you still want to find a way out of this desperate situation?"

"Life Road? Can you have a life road by cooperating with General Sun?" Su Mao asked with a wry smile.

Sun Tuzheng pointed out: "Of course, if you can help me take Suzhou, you will have great contributions to the court. In this way, even if you quell the chaos later, you will be a meritorious minister. How could the court make things difficult for you again?"

Su Mao shook his head and sighed, "General Sun, what you said is so light... The court, if the court can really break so impartially, how could I hesitate so much? I am afraid that the court will be out of reach, but I really have to follow what you said. When Suzhou is really taken back by the official army, when Zhu Jie arrives, we will die without a place to bury!"

"Oh? Is Mr. Su actually worried that Zhu Jie would settle the score later?" Sun Tu asked meaningfully.

"That's certainly. To be honest, several big merchants in Suzhou City have long been targeted by Zhu Xie. If it weren't for Fang La's incident two years ago, we would have been peeled and stewed by him, and even eaten bones. This is also one of the reasons why we were willing to pay money and grain to help them recruit soldiers after the Wu army entered the city." Since all the words were spoken, Su Mao no longer covered up and told the inside story: "If this matter was known to Zhu Xie, as General Sun, as you said before, we will die without a place to bury us. As for the so-called credit, haha, in the eyes of the government, are we really serious about some of our contributions?"

Sun Tu nodded with clarity: "It seems that Yuanwai Su can't trust the court, but Zhu Xie?"

"Yes, this person is as greedy as a wolf, as cunning as a fox, just to seek wealth, and use any means. Many people have been destroyed because of his family. Suzhou has this day, and they all thanks to him... Do you know that Fang La only had a few thousand when he raised an army. Why could he occupy half of Jiangnan in just a few years? It's all because they put forward a slogan called killing Zhu Xie and saving the people's water and fire! So in my opinion, the Wu army will certainly attack us, but Zhu Xie is the more terrifying guy."

"So that's it." Sun Tu realized everything, smiled, but suddenly said seriously: "If I promised you that as long as I help me take Suzhou, I will kill Zhu Xie?"

"What?" Su Mao suddenly burst into tears, unable to believe his ears: "You... are you going to kill Zhu Xie?"

"Is this strange? For both public and private, I want to be apart from this traitor. Even without you, I will find a suitable opportunity to kill him next!" A murderous intent suddenly arose on Sun Tu, which was even stronger than when he entered the door just now, which made the other two shudder.

"This...you're serious? Do you really have a grudge against him?"

"Do you know why the Shandong army under my command are trapped in Changshu City? These are all Zhu Xie's frame-up plan!" Sun Tu was happy and told the inside story that he had just learned. He heard it as Su Mao and Xie Mo were stunned. He couldn't believe that Zhu Xie, as the head coach of Jiangnan, would have done such a confused and slutty thing.

But as long as you think about his usual behavior, it is easy to understand. Zhu Xie has always been selfish and cruel, and never considers the overall situation. As long as he can satisfy his desires, he can do anything.

Sun Tu smiled again, "And I killed him to quell the chaos in Jiangnan as soon as possible. Without this traitor, the anti-army would lose the excuse of rebellion. It would be much easier to slap them when I wanted to slap them. So I wanted to kill him not out of momentary anger, but the most correct choice to start from the overall situation."
