Cai Jingdu can't remember how many years no one dared to say such things in front of him. In the past decade, every official in the court in front of him was trembling regardless of his status. At least he was in a proper manner. No one dared to say a harsh word, let alone say such unscrupulous words as Sun Tu in front of him.

However, when facing Sun Tu's smiling eyes, Cai Jing was completely unable to get angry because he dared not. He could clearly feel that the other party's words were not false. If he had any abnormal movements, Sun Tu would have taken action directly. At this moment, Cai Jing really regretted his hasty decision just now. If he had known that he was so bold, he would have arranged a few guards to the side.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and looked at Sun Tu and said, "Mr. Yue, do you know what the consequences will be if you really dare to do this? Although you can't get out of here, you will also implicate your wife, children and family. This should not be the result you want to see?"

Sun Tu's face suddenly turned cold: "Don't threaten me with the safety of my family. The last one who said this was Gao Duo. And if I couldn't even save my life, I don't think you could keep them kindly. So when I took that step, I never thought of compromise!"

Even if you can't even shake Sun Tu, Cai Jing felt the real trickyness and could only forcefully say: "Do you know that your previous actions have touched the bottom line of the court, and he is so reckless, even Your Majesty has a lot of opinions about you. I am not afraid of making things clear. Gao Qiu is a person who is extremely trustworthy in front of Your Majesty. When he was seriously ill, he went to see Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to uphold justice for him. This has nothing to do with the law, but with human feelings. Although I have no intention of targeting you, some things still have to be done. Of course, if you can admit your mistakes and accept punishment, the court will not really punish you severely. At most, you will be wronged in the heavenly prison for a few days. When Your Majesty's anger is gone, you will naturally be let go. Why do you have to put yourself and your family in a Jedi for this little thing?"

Sun Tu listened quietly to him and laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm: "The Grand Master is really eloquent. If it were someone else, I would be moved. But I was curious about why you would have invited me in one go, and then say so many things, and even let me confess my guilt?"

After pausing, he looked at the other party's eyes deeply: "Let me guess it's because you have concerns, because you know very well that if you really use force on me, it will inevitably lead to chaos. No matter you, or the current government, don't want to see such a thing happen. And the source of this chaos should be from Jiangnan, right?"

"Sun Tu--!" Cai Jing's face suddenly became cold, and he shouted softly, as if he wanted to interrupt his unrestrained remarks. But Sun Tu was unmoved at all and still said: "At this time, I no longer hide some facts. The reason why I dared to return to Tokyo, so I dared to kill Gao Duo at this time is because I have the confidence to do all this! The 100,000 troops in Jiangnan are my Sun Tu's confidence!"

"Do you... really want to make a mistake?" Cai Jing said in a cold voice. The following words seemed to burst out from the cracks of his teeth, and his body trembled slightly. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so bold and arrogant that he no longer made any concealment.

Feeling the other party's nervous mood, Sun Tu calmed down: "It's just to protect my own safety. If the court has not attacked me, of course I will be a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty. But if someone wants to frame me and take my life, he may have to pay the price."

"Hmph, do you really think that a mere corner of Jiangnan can shake the determination of the court and threaten me?" Cai Jing forced himself to hold on.

Sun Tu shook his head: "A corner of Jiangnan? If it were placed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, you are indeed qualified to say this, but if the Song Dynasty is now losing control over the entire Jiangnan, what consequences do you think will be? The Fang La rebellion was only in the second part of Jiangsu and Zhejiang before, which made the court frustrated. What I dare say is that if there is another chaos this time, the chaos will be the entire south of the Yangtze River, including Jinling, and half of the Song Dynasty will be completely in chaos. Can you bear this responsibility?"

When Cai Jing heard this, he immediately gasped. As long as he thought about what the situation would be, he felt a little scared. But he still said, "Just relying on the tens of thousands of troops you brought from Shandong? As long as the imperial army arrives, they can be settled immediately!"

"If the court really had such skills, I wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to lead Shandong soldiers to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion. Grand Tutor, you are in a high position. Although you are not involved in military affairs, you should know how weak my Song Dynasty officers and soldiers are now. The wing troops in various places are already useless. Sending them to Jiangnan is probably no different from dying!"

"I still have border imperial guards..."

"As far as I know, the border troops have been continuously stationed on the northern border in the past few years. The battle between Song and Liao is about to be fully launched. Who dares to call back the troops there? The Liao people had known my Song Dynasty's intentions and had already been prepared. Once the border troops were really retreating to Jiangnan, the northern border guards would be flattened by the Liao army in an instant, and even Bianjing would be in danger. As for the imperial guards, I have seen many of them. Apart from the Fourth Army, there is no one that can fight, and it is not much different from the Xiang Army. The Fourth Army also has to defend the emperor and protect Tokyo. Who dares to move lightly?"

After saying this, Sun Tu completely blocked Cai Jing's two ways out, making the old man's breathing more and more rapid: "It seems that you have been thinking hard for a long time and calculated everything!"

"If I don't count all these, how dare I take risks alone and fight you?"

"Don't be too proud too early. The situation in Jiangnan may not be as you wish. The people there are all my subjects of the Song Dynasty. How could they follow those rebels?"

"If the government had not had the government's excessive taxes over the years, the people might have hesitated, but now, it's possible. Besides, although I am in Tokyo, there is no one who can make decisions there. Xie Mo is deeply supported by the people in Jiangnan. As long as he calls up, there will inevitably be people who respond. The number of 100,000 anti-army troops is said to be less. By the way, you are busy with all your affairs every day. Do you know if you have ever heard of Xie Mo?"

"Are the descendants of the Xie'an clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty..." Cai Jing exhaled a breath of turbid air, but had to admit that this guy is indeed very famous in Jiangnan. Once he really voluntarily becomes the anti-military flag, the Jiangnan governments will fall in an instant.

In fact, the reason why he knew that there was such a character had to start from before. Since he brought Sun Tu to Tokyo, Cai Jing and the others actually thought of taking back control of Jiangnan. For this reason, in the past few months, they have sent a lot of civil and military officials to take over the military and political power there.

But as a result, these people were all boycotted and undermined after they arrived in Jiangnan without exception. Not to mention military power, even ordinary government affairs had no room for them to speak. The local people even regarded them as enemies. After careful investigation, they realized that all this was influenced by Xie Mo.

This time, Cai Jing tried his best to make Sun Tu admit his guilt because Jiangnan had already made a change. Just before Sun Tu killed Gao Duo, mutinies occurred in various parts of Jiangnan. All the civil and military officials who were recently sent to the local area by the court were taken away, and some of them were released and brought back unregulated news there.

At that time, Cai Jing and others quickly understood that Jiangnan was cooperating with Sun Tu. Or it could be said that the reactions there were all from Sun Tu's earlier instructions, in order to make the court throw a fright and dare not hold him accountable for killing Gao Duo.

This is where Sun Tu’s confidence in doing all this. He seems to be alone in Tokyo, but in fact he is as stable as Mount Tai!

Sometimes Cai Jing and others framed their opponents in the court and always liked to use crimes such as illegitimate intentions, but that was all fake, and the other party had no courage or ability at all. But Sun Tu was different in front of him. Not only did he have this heart, but he also had the power, and he even told his unjust heart in person. But when Cai Jing faced this situation, he felt powerless because he really could not bear such consequences.

As Sun Tu said, once he had something to do, Jiangnan would be in chaos. Judging from the current arrangement of the Song Dynasty in the north, once Jiangnan was in chaos, even the entire country would be lost!

"Sun Tu, aren't you afraid that you will become a sinner for the ages, be despised for thousands of years, and be despised by all ages?" Cai Jing made his last effort.

But in response to him, he sneered disdainfully: "Even you are not afraid of being infatuated for thousands of years. What's the point of being afraid of? Besides, if a person dies, any reputation is false. Why should I care about my affairs after I die? I just want to be at the moment, no matter what other things I care about. Cai Jing, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Staying in the capital is my bottom line. If anyone thinks it's not good for me, then it's impossible to part with me. I will let countless people bury me, including you!"

As he said that, he had already stood up and walked to Cai Jing who was already stunned, and pulled him up from the seat: "It's getting late, so I won't disturb the Grand Master's rest. Please send me out of the mansion. Please tell Your Majesty at that time that I, Sun Tu, have no intention of being a rebellious minister, but if someone really wants the lives of my family and I, I don't mind taking a chance. At worst, it's all a matter of killing me and my family. It's a matter of killing me and I, to see who will suffer greater losses!" As he said that, he forced Cai Jing to walk out.

This shocked the servants outside the hall very much. Someone shouted loudly to ask Sun Tu to release him, but there was no effect at all. In the end, hundreds of people could only look backwards and watch Sun Tu walk out with his master.
