As a former general of the Western Army, Chu Mingsheng actually has a backer behind him, in the northwest of Shizhen, a breeder with a high prestige in the army is his backer. But obviously in this Lingzhou City, he didn't dare to compete with Governor Weng at all, and the other party could even take his position after catching a little mistake, which shows how strong the backer behind Governor Weng is.

But when the truth was revealed, Sun Tu was still a little surprised, and looked thoughtfully at the prefect of Weng, who had regained his confidence. His backer is actually Cai Jing, and with the appetite of this person in the court, it is naturally not something that can be pleased with tens of thousands of dollars, so it seems that he has exhausted all means in Lingzhou, and it is reasonable to scrape the ground.

Although Sun Tu has not really penetrated into the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty today, he still understands some things. Compared with Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng or Tong Guan, officials who show greed on the surface, today's minister Cai Jing is much more low-key, everyone knows, that is, Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion will give his father-in-law more than 100,000 yuan worth of gold jewelry every year, but in fact, the Manchu officials under his wings give Cai Taishi more than 100 times the wealth every year.

It's just that these people didn't dare to make a noise, and sent things to Cai Jing's mansion with great fanfare, so they didn't show it. Just like the Lingzhou Weng Governor in front of him, if Sun Tu hadn't grasped his life, I'm afraid he would never have told this secret to others, and in the eyes of others, everything he did was just his own greed.

After being stared at by Sun Tu for a long time, Governor Weng felt a little uneasy, and he could only continue to reveal some inside information to put pressure on the other party: "Do you know how much wealth this official has to give to Taishi Cai every year?" 200,000! And how much money does this official have for a year, if I don't get enough money from the local people, what will I do to honor Master Cai? So if you really want to ask, that's the truth! As he spoke, he looked back at Sun Tu a little provocatively, waiting for the other party to automatically retreat.

He does have reason to be so sure, it is really because Cai Jing's status in the court is too high, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, and he also has a strong influence on the current emperor, it can be said that as long as he has a thought, he can make anyone completely and silently disappear from this world, whether he is an official or a citizen, even a powerful prince may not be spared, this is where Cai Taishi's strength lies!

At this moment, Chu Mingsheng and the others all showed expressions of panic and retreat, this backer behind him was really not something that people like them could easily provoke. Even if this is aimed at one of them, it will inevitably not provoke the anger of Taishi Cai, and the consequences will be difficult to say.

Only Sun Tu, after thinking for a while, his eyes became calm again, the corners of his mouth raised, and he showed a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Governor Weng, you really have a long-term vision, you have already found a backer and thought of a way out, so you will be unscrupulous here, and you will not take anyone or any law in your eyes." ”

Listening to him speak slowly, Governor Weng felt a little nervous again, and always felt that something was wrong. But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't feel that he had anything to fear, after all, Taishi Cai was the most powerful talisman, and he would dare to be an enemy of Taishi Cai?

"If it's just a case of corruption, you have such a backer, and you can't be moved. But don't forget, where is the root cause of your incident this time, do you think Taishi Cai will get into such a big trouble? Sun Tu stared at the other party's eyes and said the most crucial point.

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the pride and determination in Governor Weng's eyes instantly collapsed, and was replaced by deep fear. It was only then that he suddenly remembered that he still had the charge of colluding with Zeng Tou City and colluding with the Jurchens with the intention of betraying the entire Lingzhou Mansion. This crime is much bigger than any corruption and harm to the people, and it is related to the stability of the world, even Cai Jing dare not touch it.

But then, he thought of it again, and said hurriedly: "You are framing, although this official has dealings with Zengtou City, but it is because I don't know their exact identities, let alone have any dealings with the Jurchens......"

"The truth of this is left to the officials of the Criminal Department or Dali Temple to investigate, and all I have to do is to report these crimes to the court truthfully. Of course, it also includes all kinds of lawlessness that you have done in the local area and harmed the people. Sun Tu had regained the initiative at this time, and after a few words, he was already frightened to the other side, and his body began to tremble violently.

This time, the prefect Weng was really frightened, not only because of the charges of collusion with the Jurchens who were imposed on him, but also because once the matter was reported to the imperial court, Taishi Cai would inevitably try his best to clear up his involvement, and then he would really die and have no place to be buried......

Sun Tu saw that he had understood the consequences, and he did not threaten him with words anymore, but with a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to hand the confession to the prefect Weng and ask him to sign it. Now, he has no way to escape, so he can only honestly sign his name on his confession and press his own handprint. By the time he had done all this, he was already paralyzed on the ground, and he could only be half-dragged out.

Soon, only Sun Tu and Chu Mingsheng were left in the hall, the latter's face was full of panic and struggle at this time, and he hesitated after a while: "Sun Dujian, do you really plan to send all these charges to Bianjing?" Isn't this too risky, if you offend Master Cai, the consequences will be ......"

Sun Tu could see that this was really scared, and he could make a general of a hundred battles, a general who had not seen fear in the face of many strong enemies, have such a reaction, which showed how powerful and terrifying Cai Jing was.

But he didn't hesitate at all, and only nodded lightly: "If everyone doesn't do some things, it will only boost the arrogance of those wicked people." I only know that there is righteousness in heaven and earth, and all evil is easy to dispel! ”

"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and all evils are easy to dispel......" Chu Mingsheng muttered this sentence, unconsciously a little stunned, but his heart was still full of doubts about it.

"Chu Dujian should know that things are man-made, right? You should know why our Great Song Dynasty has repeatedly suffered big losses in the north and northwest in the past hundred years, that is, because our soldiers do not have the momentum to dare to fight any enemy to the end, which is the result of being suppressed by civilian officials for a hundred years. Sun Tu looked at each other with a faint gaze: "Even if the Western Army has two ministers of large and small races who preside over the overall situation, can our Great Song Dynasty quell the rebellion in Western Xia?" Aren't we still able to guard the bitter cold land, but let the Xia people occupy the most fertile and most fertile place for horses?

"The army has been weak for many years, and the military attache is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees a civilian official, and he is suppressed everywhere. No, because you don't dare, and you don't want to try. But my grandson Tu did it, and it was done, and the result? Although the imperial court reprimanded, it also acquiesced in what I did, and my Sun Tu even trained a real elite division in Qingzhou, because we are fearless and fearless, so invincible!

"Now it's also a general truth, he Cai Jing covers the sky with one hand in the court, and he seems to be invincible, but is this really the case? In my opinion, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty has reached such a field today is because those in power in the court and the central government are like him who can only abuse power and disregard the country for their own selfishness, so that corrupt officials are everywhere in the state capitals of the world, and the people and soldiers are miserable. Although my Great Song Dynasty looks at the prosperity of the era and the cooking of fire, what is under this gorgeous clothes? A body so weak that it would fall to ashes at the slightest touch!

"You and I are both courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and both are generals who are responsible for defending the land, can you bear to watch the Great Song Dynasty one day be in turmoil, and the people who have suffered a lot will be trampled and killed by the iron hooves of the alien race?"

This large paragraph of words gushed out, so that Chu Mingsheng couldn't react for a while, just looked at Sun Tu in surprise, and even his breathing became short. Although he is alone in the northwest and Lingzhou, he has also seen a lot of things, and naturally understands that what Sun Tu said is not false, but the root cause that has been deliberately ignored by everyone.

In the past, he could still turn a blind eye and deceive himself, but now, when Sun Tu put everything in front of him with blood, he was really shocked. After a long time, he muttered, "So what does Sun Dujian mean?" ”

"Just because no one has done it doesn't mean it can't be done. I can create a world in Qingzhou, so I can also make changes in the court through this matter this time! Lingzhou is an opportunity here, as long as we seize this opportunity, it may be the best opportunity to bring down Cai Jing and other powerful prison officials! Sun Tu unabashedly stated his purpose: "I want to unite all the soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou, tens of thousands of people, and present all the shortcomings to the emperor." I want to see whether the current emperor is the most important thing about the world or the first person! ”

In fact, Sun Tu had long been interested in doing something for the Great Song Dynasty, but he had never found a suitable opportunity before. But today, after learning about something hidden under the water, he couldn't help it, it was time to issue the most solemn torture to the Great Song Dynasty - which is more important?

If he was a mature bureaucrat and politician, he would never do such a direct thing at this time, but obviously Sun Tu is not such a person, and he still retains a piece of sincerity in his heart.

In addition, what everyone doesn't know is that this is also Sun Tu's last chance to give Zhao Ji, the Zhao family, and the entire Great Song Dynasty!

If they make the wrong choice, Sun Tu will let go of his hands and let the world develop in the direction he wants to see - at that time, the world will be turned upside down, and how many people will die because of it is not in his mind!

The opportunity is in front of us, it depends on what Zhao Ji chooses......
