Chapter 809 The evidence is conclusive

The red-lacquered gate facing the street slowly opened, and the leader of the Gu family came out was an old man wearing a vermilion official robe. Although facing hundreds of imperial guards with guns and swords, he had no fear on his face. He just clasped his fists and bowed slightly, and then he spoke: "I Gu Youzhi, I don't know where imperial guards you are."

From this gateway that can be set up on the street, Sun Tu has guessed that the identity of the Gu family is not just a businessman. As expected, the answer is revealed now. Gu Youzhi's official uniform is the fourth rank. Even if he is just an official position without real power, he is still considered a court official. It is not easy to treat him as an ordinary person.

In fact, his official position is really just an official who has improved his status, but he has not sent him anyway. He has spent a lot of real money and silver to buy it over the years. On weekdays, Gu Youzhi often relies on this level of official function to establish relationships with some figures in the court, so as to attract more business for his own business and make the business smoother.

Sun Tu also vaguely guessed the whole story, so he quickly took a step forward and reported his official position in a tit-for-tat way: "Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, the chief general of the Hu Ben Army, and the Marquis of Yue!" As soon as this title was reported, the old man's face changed slightly, and his expression became even more serious: "It turned out to be Marquis of Yue in front of him, I don't know you..."

"There is no need to go around the circle. You can't not know our purpose, otherwise you wouldn't have put on an official robe to see me." Sun Tu did not make friends with him like other officials at all, and said in a straight line: "Your Gu family business was found to have sold banned items such as bows and crossbows and wound medicines in private and left the city. Since it was taken down by this marquis on the spot, I should investigate it to the end. I will lead my subordinates and others to search!"

What he said was so direct, there was no room for change, which made Gu Youzhi, who had already thought about how to deal with it, and the slaves behind him were even more frightened. With the bold ones, they shouted in a hurry: "It's outrageous. Someone must have framed my Gu family. My Gu family has always abide by the law in Tokyo for many years. How could they do such a ruthless thing!"

"What did that matter to what you did today? Moreover, you can only know what your Gu family is after checking it." Sun Tu did not give them any excuses to delay, and directly raised his hand: "Let me go in and search for a corner, don't let go of a corner. Also, everyone is watching the whole place, so no one should be left!"

"Mr. Yue, you are too much. I am also an official appointed by the court. Before the Ministry of Personnel has made a decision, and the court has taken my official position, how dare you do this so recklessly?" Gu Youzhi finally reacted and shouted loudly. He took out more than 100,000 yuan of gold and silver to buy these fourth-grade crown belts in order to protect his own safety one day. How could Sun Tu succeed so easily?

But what was exchanged was Sun Tu's sneer: "It's about the major case of rebellion and collusion with the enemy. This marquis is doing it at a disadvantage to ensure the safety of the capital. What's more, if your family is fine, why should you be so afraid of being searched? The person is coming--!"

With his greeting, the soldiers behind him rushed forward with a loud noise. Dozens of archers had already moved the arrows flashing with cold light, but when there was any abnormal movement, they could shoot all the people in front of them into hedgehogs.

This time, in addition to the Shandong veterans he brought back to Tokyo, most of the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army stood behind Sun Tu. Although these people had only been practicing in the camp for half a month, their spirits were very different. The powerful momentum of the bow waiting to be fired has suppressed the scene, making the Gu family dare not act rashly, and they could not even say a serious word.

Even Gu Youzhi, his face turned pale at this moment, his body trembled slightly, and his tone became weaker, as if he begged: "Mr. Yue, there must be any misunderstandings in this. Please be careful not to be impatient. Rong Hu will explain the words clearly. I will thank you very much at that time..."

"No need, I only believe in the evidence!" Sun Tu seemed so upright at this time. He didn't look at the other party's begging and walked towards the door: "If anyone obstructs, he will be punished for his ill-thinking intentions and kill him without any hesitation!"

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but his words of killing are all the more oppressive force on everyone present, which makes everyone dare not stop them. If you say something more, you can only give up your debut in a hurry and let Sun Tu lead people in, so you have to ask for a big search of the Gu family’s mansion.

At this moment, a group of people rushed over from the long street in the back. Seeing that Sun Tu and the others were about to enter the door, the first one immediately shouted: "Slow up! Zhong Yang, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, why did you dare to trespass the people's mansions? Do you still talk about the king's law?" As the screams fell, the people rushed to the scene, but a middle-aged official brought twenty or thirty yamen to kill him.

Sun Tu stopped hearing the sound, turned his head and looked over again. Zhong Yang was in his forties and looked very honest, but the two nasolabial folds on his face gave people a sinister feeling, and his aura was quite large. When facing these many soldiers in the army, he had no intention of showing weakness. He just strode forward and said to Sun Tu's eyes: "When did your imperial guards have such power, and why don't you retreat quickly?"

Sun Tu's eyes suddenly gathered, remembering what Cui Lue Shang mentioned that day, Zhou Xiong was in the prison he controlled. It seemed that the master's death might not be related to this person. This made the hostility in his eyes suddenly increase, his eyes were like a knife, and he shot directly at the other party. Now, Zhong Yang could not resist it, and his steps forward suddenly stopped: "How are you...what are you going?"

"Prime Minister Zhong Tong, you are so smart. You led people here as soon as I arrived here." Sun Tu sighed sarcastically, and then said, "It seems that you have a close relationship with the Gu family. Since that's the case, I might as well tell you the truth. The Gu family was taken to the sale of the crossbow and left Beijing on the spot. Do you also want to protect them for such a serious crime?"

Zhong Yang really didn't know about this. After all, his identity is not enough, and the news is far less than that of Gao Qiu and others. Today, he was on duty in the yamen, but he had to report that the imperial guards suddenly surrounded the Gu family. Because he had gained a lot of benefits from the Gu family over the years, he would come immediately. After all, in his opinion, the imperial guards were just small people who were easy to dissuade. As long as he was tough enough, he could not only sell well in front of the Gu family, but also gain some real benefits, but also climbed the backing tree behind them through them.

Unexpectedly, the kick came out and kicked it directly on the iron plate, which made Zhong Yang feel uneasy: "This...is there is such a thing? I really don't know."

"Hmph, it seems that your relationship with the Gu family is extraordinary. Since that's the case, you don't have to leave." Sun Tu was worried that he couldn't control this guy. Now that he came to him, how could he let him leave? He handed over his eyes, and there were soldiers surrounding him, holding up Zhong Yang and the yamen he brought.

"What do you... want to do?" Zhong Yang immediately panicked. Such a major case was not something that his little arms and legs could handle.

Sun Tu ignored him at this time and just waved his hand: "Search it for me!"

Even the saviors that were waiting for could not stop the search of the banished troops. The whole family had completely lost the curse. They could only rush into their own courtyard with anxiety and aggrievance and search.

The Gu family's mansion occupied no land below Sun Tu's marquis' mansion, and the luxurious decoration was even more far above it. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there were pavilions, towers, and houses. The search project was indeed large enough. Even if there were more than 500 imperial guards here, half of them were left to guard outside, and the remaining half had to search for one or two houses. It was not an empty house, with all kinds of furniture ornaments and books in it. It was really difficult for them to find things from them.

Sun Tu took a few casual glances and knew that such a purposeless search would not be effective. He immediately said, "First search for Gu Youzhi and Gu Hui's residences and study rooms. If there is relevant evidence, it will probably be included."

After hearing this, Gu Youzhi, who had been arranged in the front yard living room, suddenly felt a stern heart. There were many things in his study that were shameful. If Sun Tu really took them away and made them public, his blow to the Gu family would not be as serious as smuggling the crossbow. His change of color also made Zhong Yang, who was also forced to leave behind, feel really regretful of his obsessive behavior just now.

Even though the scope of searches had been narrowed down, the busyness of these soldiers who did not understand the searches were still not until the third update that they finally gained some gains. Some letters with strange content were presented to Sun Tu, and some were not allowed to be read by the Gu family and his son. In the end, they found two letters in a book on the shelf of Gu Hui's study, which really confirmed his crime of collusion with the enemy country.

When Sun Tu photographed the two letters in front of Gu Youzhi, the old man's face suddenly turned like a sieve, and his body was shaking like a sieve: "This... how is this possible... I really don't know that there is such a thing. It must be because the child was deceived, no, it was framed that he would have this letter..."
