From being ordered to mobilize in the morning, to noon, they attacked the thieves' nests in Wuyou Cave in various places, and then defended at the entrances of various sewers until dusk. Finally, they were at the entrances of the caves, from the snow to the wind and snow to rush until midnight... It can be said that more than a thousand people from the Ministry of Justice, Kaifeng Prefecture and Street Department were very busy today.

When the firewood, hay and cattle and sheep manure were all burned out, everyone felt exhausted, and many people were even cold and stiff. Today is the most tiring and dangerous day they have in recent years. So when a boss gave the order to let them withdraw their troops on the spot, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with their tired bodies. They just wanted to have a good rest for a night without thinking about anything.

However, they didn't know that in this crackdown on the bandits in Wuyou Cave, they were the easiest people, because they only had to obey orders, without taking any pressure or responsibility, let alone be responsible for everything that followed. All of this naturally fell on the second in command of the yamen who had concealed their superiors and forced the removal of bandits.

The Ministry of Justice was abnormal tonight. Even though it was over the third day, the lights inside were already brightly lit, but no one was seen walking inside. Except for a small number of soldiers guarding the front yard, everyone was in a wide hall in the second hall, and their faces looked quite gloomy and solemn.

Wei Daozhang, Minister of Justice, Han Xianchu, Promoter of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zhao Kangming, Secretary of the Street Office, were sitting silently at the bottom. In front of them were their own three bosses and important colleagues in the three yamen, who looked like they were going to be held accountable.

Just before dark, their boss had forced them to come here. Wei Sizheng, who was angry and uncontrollable, shouted endlessly, asking them why they dared to take their own initiative and sent their subordinates to randomly hurt and arrest people in the capital, disrupting the order of the capital, and ordered them to immediately stop their next actions.

But the result was beyond his expectations. The three of them were extremely tough and had no intention of obeying orders to withdraw their troops. Especially Zhao Kangming, he looked directly at his boss and said with a cold face: "Wei Sizheng, he has no turning back. Since the subordinate has made a decision, there is no reason to give up halfway. Moreover, the soldiers and horses I sent to suppress the thieves only obeyed my orders, so even if Si Zheng, you personally ordered, as long as you don't have my token and hand-in-hand order, they will not retreat."

"You... are so bold!" Wei Sizheng slapped the table so angry that he couldn't make any harsh words to threaten the other party. When he looked at the other two, although Wei Daozhang and Han Xianchu did not say anything fierce, they could tell that their minds were the same just by looking at their firm expressions.

"Shangshu Tang, look..." At this moment, he had no idea and could only seek help from the Minister of Justice Tang Jing, who had the highest official position here, because he felt that Tang Jing's old Taoist always had some countermeasures.

"You don't have to worry too much. We have already made all preparations and we must do our jobs today anyway. We also ask the three officials to give us some time. As long as we pass today, you will naturally know what this is for." Before Tang Jing, the boss, had spoken, Wei Daozhang, had already spoken: "And I can tell you that this case not only involves countless lives, but also has to do with those with high status in the court. It is long before you and I can control it."

"Mr. Wei, are you exaggerating?" Zhou Gongsun couldn't help it and asked with a cold face.

"Everyone just wait for a while to see what I say is not false." Wei Daozhang was still calm in his arms, which made others feel even more uneasy.

Tang Jing said aloud, but finally said, "Since that's the case, it's okay for me to wait for a night." As early as when he left the Political Affairs Hall, he had already realized the unusual things today and had the intention of protecting himself. Now that people have come to their own judicial office, he dare not take action randomly, and can only choose to be safe.

"Shangshu Tang, if they continue to make trouble like this, Tokyo might be in chaos. And..." Wei Sizheng was obviously the one who was most anxious, but when he led the topic to another key point, he was interrupted by Tang Jing: "Wei Sizheng, be careful. If you are doing this, what can you do if you are anxious? Let's take a look."

Although Wei Sizheng was anxious and knew that this would be difficult to explain to someone, he saw that the two of them were no longer insisting, but he didn't speak much, so he could only suppress his temperament and wait slowly.

And this time it was midnight. During this period, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more serious, making the officers who came to serve tea and water tremble and didn't even dare to breathe.

Shortly after entering the interim, an astonishing news came to them. Dozens of corpses of children and women were dug out from several thieves attacked by officers and soldiers. This completely confirmed that those places were indeed filthy nests of thieves, and it also made Wei Daozhang and Zhao Kangming's actions take for granted. They were just eliminating the harm for the people.

Then, they were heard of smoke in the sewer to eliminate bandits, which scared the other officials. Even Tang Jing couldn't bear it: "You are so brave and cruel. Do you dare to kill so much in Tokyo?"

After the eyes flashed, the prefect Zhou asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, why do you take such a risk? What is your purpose? Who is instructed?"

But in the face of his question, the three of them remained silent. But the more they did this, the more uneasy they became in Tang Jing and the others. They realized that there must be more problems behind this matter. It must be that there must be a strong backer supporting them, so they dared to act so recklessly, and even their bosses were ignored by them.

After holding it in for a while, Wei Sizheng, who was the most impatient, finally couldn't bear it. He stood up from his position, grabbed Zhao Kangming's collar and asked, "What are you hiding? Who is behind the scenes? If you refuse to say it, I will only have some tricks to you!"

"Do you want to know the answer? Just ask me, why bother them?" A voice suddenly sounded from the outside, and a tall figure strode from the entourages of several military men.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor, the Zhou Gong Yin was in a panic: "Sun...Mr. Yue, didn't you take people out of the capital to wipe out the bandits outside the city early in the morning? Why did you suddenly appear here?" His words immediately caused others to change their colors. Sun Tu is now known to everyone in the court, and it also makes many people feel afraid. After all, this world dares to be enemies of many powerful ministers and can ensure their own safety, just him. Thinking of his previous thunderous methods, the few people quickly turned around and suddenly realized that everything today was carried out under his leadership.

It's not right. What kind of virtue does Sun Tu have? What can Zhao Kangming, Wei Daozhang and Han Xianchu follow his horse's lead, and even destroy their future, they will help him clear out the bandits in Wuyou Cave in the capital?

Sun Tu entered the hall, glanced at everyone, and immediately understood what they were thinking, and nodded and said, "You all guessed well. Everything today is my own arrangement. By the way, I only said that I would suppress the rebellion of the bandits in the capital, but I never said that I was suppressing the enemy in Tokyo or outside the city.

"As for you, I feel that I cannot let the three of them help me at all costs, it is reasonable. Indeed, although I, Sun Tu, have been doing things upright, I cannot let others help me with whatever gains and losses. So today's results are only because we are actually acting under the order of the prince."

As soon as this said, there was a burst of breath in the hall, and everyone showed an incredible expression. Zhao Kangming and others did not expect that Sun Tu would confess so much and tell such a key secret in public, which was beyond their expectations. The impact of Tang Jing and others was particularly great. No matter how they thought about it before, they would never have thought that this matter would be related to the always low-key prince.

Although all the court officials respect the prince well, in fact, almost everyone ignores the existence of the crown prince in their daily government affairs. After all, the prince does not have any real power, and it is said that it is not very popular among the officials. At this time, except for the officials of the Eastern Palace, almost no one would think about getting involved with the prince early. After all, when Zi is in full swing today, why should he be far away?

But now, as Sun Tu revealed all this, these ministers suddenly realized an extremely important but ignored fact - the adult prince was probably dissatisfied with being just a shadow-like existence, and he was about to start to get involved in the struggles in the court!

Wei Sizheng's face changed continuously. He knew some of the inside stories and could clearly realize that the prince's dealing with the bandits this time was false, and the dealings with the people behind him was true. This time, he was really frightened. It is hard to say anything else. His situation would inevitably become extremely dangerous. Once he followed the case of the bandits in Wuyou Cave, he would have nowhere to hide.

At the same time, everyone, including Wei Daozhang, began to become solemn, because they suddenly discovered that as Sun Tu completely exposed the inside story that should have been hidden under the table, the storm would inevitably become more and more intense. Today's suppression of the bandits is just the beginning. Tomorrow, the most intense battlefield is the verbal battle and scapegoats in the court.

But why did he completely spread the matter? What benefits does this do him?
