Chapter 857

After handing all the witnesses to Di Huchen, Sun Tu was confident at the beginning after returning home, feeling that things were about to develop in the direction he planned. After all, the prince is in an extremely difficult situation now, and this is their only chance to turn the situation around. He and the Eastern Palace officials will definitely do their best to dig deep into the case, and at least he will drag all Gao Qiu and his son into the water.

But this time, I did what ordinary ministers could not do. I used the strategy of killing people with a knife to the prince. I really killed two birds with one stone, and I also completely picked myself out. What I had to do next is wait for good news and wait for the storm to come again in the court.

However, his complacent mood did not last long. Just in the evening of that day, Sun Tu felt a little uneasy, and always felt that this matter seemed to be missing by him. But for a moment, he couldn't think of what was missing.

After all, Sun Tu was just a military general after all, and he didn't understand some things in the court thoroughly. Although he was smart enough, he was lacking in experience after all. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and what was even more troublesome was that he could not even find someone around him who could discuss it.

In the past, there were Song Jiang, Huang Wenbing, Tong Mu and others around him who could check for him, but these people are now in Shandong, Jiangnan, and even Tang Feng and other close friends are still suppressing bandits outside the capital. As for the trustworthy Cui Lue-shang and Yaer Hu Rong around him, they are not as good as Sun Tu, so naturally they are even less likely to come up with any opinions. Di Yingyang is not easy to find at this time because of Di Huchen.

Finally, after thinking about it for a long time, Sun Tu finally thought of someone - Qin Hui, which was the most suitable person he could think of. Moreover, since this person could become the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty many years later and had a strong power, his understanding of things in the court was always above him.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered someone to find Qin Hui. When he came in a hurry, he had already entered the first update, and Qin Hui, who was in a hurry, had a little sweat on his head. It can be seen that he still attached great importance to Sun Tu's summoning.

This is also a matter of course. Since Sun Tu transferred him out of the Hanlin Academy, Qin Hui had completely boarded his boat and became a grasshopper on a rope. He knew the benefits and interests of this, how dare he slack off at all? So after seeing Sun Tu, he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea and went straight to the point: "I wonder what instructions did the marquis suddenly summon him?"

"I came to you just to ask you to help me learn about this case and see where I made a mistake." Sun Tu said, then took him down Zhou Xiong and forced him to ask about the evidence related to Gao Qiu and other officials from him. Finally, he added that he had handed it over to the prince to achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife.

After saying this, Qin Hui was very scared. Although he knew that his boss was a brave and cruel man, he did not expect that he could be so bold that he could have the idea of ​​the prince. And this time he included so many officials in the court. Everyone he mentioned was an existence that he needed to look up to, and the impact and pressure were too great.

After being silent for a while, after suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Qin Hui thought for a long time, then looked at Sun Tu with a serious expression: "Marty, have you really handed everything to the prince's man?"

"Of course, after all, this case involves too many important officials in the court, and it is difficult for me to get started, so I can only take action by the prince. And I think he has the only choice in his situation at this time." Seeing his expression, Sun Tu felt uneasy again.

"Marty, you may be a bit reckless in doing this." Qin Hui raised his words and said, "On the surface, the prince really has no other way to go, but now you give these witnesses to them, but you give them an extra choice. The battle between the court is not only life-and-death, but also mutual compromise and concession. Once there is an opportunity to reach a consensus, both sides may take a step back..." Speaking of this, he found that Sun Tu's face suddenly changed, and immediately stopped talking.

Sun Tu is not a fool. He is just used to thinking on the battlefield to look at the struggles in the court. He always feels that once he becomes an enemy, he will never stop. Now, after Qin Hui reminds him, he suddenly reacts. He has made a big mistake and takes things for granted! When these evidences are sent to the prince, he gives him room for maneuver!

"I... was wrong, and I didn't expect this change. In fact, what I should have thought of long ago is that those politicians have never had a so-called position. In their eyes, there is no right or wrong, good or evil, and some only have the word "pros and cons". As long as the two sides reach a consensus, I'm afraid everything I expected will be completely overturned by them." As he said that, Sun Tu slapped the case in a few annoyed ways, and understood that the uneasiness in his heart just now came from this.

Qin Hui was naturally not easy to agree at this time, so he could only comfort him: "The Marquis doesn't have to blame himself so much, and the matter may not be as you said. After all, the crime committed by Gao Yanei is really serious, I am afraid that the prince will not dare to cover it up for him, right? And they don't know that we don't have other evidence of the crime in our hands, but they have to be wary of it."

Sun Tu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If only the prince's side had this idea, it might not have come true, but now it involves despicable villains like Gao Qiu, and things will be completely out of my control. Moreover, the prince's situation is indeed too dangerous. As long as Gao Qiu shows, they will hit it off. After all, the most fierce thing to attack the prince now is Gao Qiu's party. As long as they stop, the pressure on the prince can be reduced by half!"

At this moment, Sun Tu regretted that he had done things too well before. It was his actions that completely pushed the prince into this dangerous situation that led to the current unfavorable situation. He really did everything he did and shot himself in the foot.

"Mr. Marquis, let's make a long-term plan, maybe there is still a way to remedy it." Qin Hui said quickly.

Sun Tu sighed: "I'm afraid it's too late, and the people and evidence have fallen into the hands of Brother Di, so I can't get it back. The only hope is that Gao Qiu made a mistake in his busy schedule and ignored this level." This time, he knew that the initiative in this case was completely out of his hands and he really became a bystander.

Of course, this time, the problem happened, in addition to Sun Tu's own unfair thoughts, it also had a lot to do with the unjust atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. You should know that the case of Zhou Xiong was a major case involving the lives of hundreds of innocent people. As long as those people had a slight desire to be justified, they would not compromise!

But in the matter that disappointed Sun Tu, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty have never disappointed him.

"Shame, stupid! It's simply foolish!" Gao Qiu slapped his face and scolded his son in front of him. As soon as he returned to the mansion, Gao Duo rushed to ask for help, and he almost knelt down and begged his father to send his master to Di Huchen's mansion and snatch the witnesses and evidence, otherwise he would be finished.

"My son knows his mistake, but I just want to have some fun. Who would have thought that those women were disobedient and could not stand playing with them, so..."

"Hmph, how did your father say that you are so funny? But your mistake is that you shouldn't have given your handle to outsiders. Now, as soon as the waste from Wuyou Cave is taken, you will be dead!" Gao Qiu looked annoyed and said that he was angry at his son.

"My son actually thought about this floor, but people were sent to me by Wuyou Cave. It would be natural for them to help deal with it after death." Gao Duo argued in a low voice.

"Can these two be the same? The former is just a woman who is abducted and sold. Now he is sued to Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are some ways to cover it up for your father. But now there are dozens of lives. If you really need to investigate it, the blame will be great."

"Sir, my son knows his mistake. I shouldn't have been playing around with these things. But now, it's not the time to say these things. Everything has become a fact and has fallen into Di Huchen's hands. Once he and the people from the prince take advantage of this to attack his son, I will... but it's really over. Dad, you have to save your son." As he said that, Gao Duo was already in tears and knelt down, and hugged his father's feet. It looked really miserable and pitiful.

This is the way Gao Duo has tried and tried to beg for mercy in front of his father. No matter how many disasters he had caused in the past, just by using this trick, he could soften his father's heart and cover up the aftermath.

"Hmph, I just hope you can learn from this time and don't make the same mistake again in the future." Sure enough, after he begged, Gao Qiu's tone softened again. After all, he was just such a son, what else could he do if he didn't protect him?

"Dad, I knew you wouldn't ignore me. Don't worry, as long as you can help me grab the things back this time, my son will be obedient in the future and will not cause trouble for you."

"Hmph, I hope you can do what you say." Gao Qiu snorted again, then said: "But this matter must not be as you said. If you really send someone to rob it, it will be really hard to wash it and will never be restored."

"Ah?" Gao Yanei, who was ignorant, widened his eyes and looked at his father in confusion.

Gao Qiu squinted his eyes and said, "There is still room for improvement this time, and what we have to do is not to be tough, but to have a good talk with the prince. Their situation is also very unbearable. As long as both of us can take a step back, will it be calm? I think this will be the prince and the people around him will understand this!"
