The impact of this incident seems to be much more serious than Sun Tu's judgment.

In just one or two days, the salt and tea division found illegal salt in Liufangju has been very loud and has spread all over the city. Although it was later added that the matter of private salt was not true, many people chose only the first half and put the second half aside, and then decided that it was because Liufangju was the property of important officials in the court, so the government would show mercy.

That's it, as things fermented further, even the Yushitai side began to pay attention to this matter. And as soon as they made a move, the target was directed at Tong Guan, first saying that he was lustful for profit, and in such an capacity, he actually connived at the people below to buy and sell illicit salt, and soon after, they turned the conversation around and began to target the origin of these illicit salts, proposing that these illicit salts should be obtained from Western Xia, so that the charge of colluding with foreign enemies was deducted to Tong Guan, and one by one the impeachment notes entered the Yintai Division like snowflakes, and were directly sent to the political hall and the emperor of heaven.

This attack caught Tong Guan off guard, and he could only barely parry, which also made him angry. After returning home from abroad that day, his whole face was drooping, gloomy and dripping, so frightened that the subordinates in the house did not dare to make a sound.

After coming to the main hall and taking a seat, he called Tong Rui, who was in charge of foreign affairs, to him: "You go and call that Sun Tu, I want to ask him why such a thing happened." I acquiesced to him running the restaurant with Mu'er, but I didn't let him give birth to such a thing for me. ”

Tong Rui didn't even dare to take a breath of air, let alone speak for Sun Tu, so after quickly agreeing, he went out to arrange for someone to call Sun Tu over. After learning of this result, Zhou Yun was shocked, but he was also overjoyed, although something went wrong, but this time Sun Tu would definitely be severely punished.

The only one who could still speak in front of Tong Guan was Fang Qian, but at this time, he also looked solemn and did not speak. Suspicious, he already had a little suspicion of Sun Tu, this person suddenly appeared, deliberately approached Tong Ergongzi, and now there is such a storm, isn't it really instructed by someone?

It was under such unfavorable circumstances that Sun Tu came to Tong's Mansion and met Tong Guan. However, the latter was already calm at this time, and he couldn't see the slightest anger, and even had a hint of a smile on his face. As soon as they met, he said: "Sun Tu, you have been really hard lately, not only to prepare for the shooting test palace, but also to help Tong Mu take care of the restaurant, my Tong family really wants to thank you." ”

Only those who are familiar with Tong Guan's character, such as Fang Qian's cronies, can hear the slightest murderous intent from his expression and tone. When he is really suspicious of someone or kills, he will be as gentle as this.

"Tong Shuai is ashamed to say this." Sun Tu arched his hand and said: "And if you really want to talk about it, I have to ask Tong Shuai for the guilt, if I hadn't been negligent before, it wouldn't have been a chance for people to take advantage of." ”

"Really? Tell me about it. Tong Guan replied noncommittally.

Sun Tu had clearly felt the huge pressure coming from the other party, so that he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and immediately said: "Before I went down, I only cared about making Liufangju's business better, ignoring that this would offend my colleagues in the city, and I didn't expect them to use despicable and dirty means in order to deal with us." ”

"That's all? What about the private salt thing? Tong Guan snorted.

"Tong Shuai Rongyu, in fact, although the salt of Liufang Curie is not official salt, it is not a private salt that can be found on the market, but a high-quality refined salt found from elsewhere. Originally, I only thought about making the restaurant's food taste better, but I neglected to take advantage of it, which is really the result of poor consideration. ”

"It's a good thought, do you know how much impact this will have on my Tong family? Tong Mu is not an official now, once he is really convicted, his future may be ruined in your hands! Tong Guan slapped the table and scolded angrily. He is not a civil official after all, and his cultivation of kung fu has not reached home, so he can't help but be angry at this time.

Sun Tu still remained calm in the face of the angry Tong Guan, only to see him say: "Tong Shuai is to blame, but he has done enough to remedy it, in fact, the fact that the Salt Tea Division finally failed to make any punishment for my Liufangju is the best proof." ”

"Sun Tu, this alone is far from enough, you should have heard the rumors outside, and the impeachment of Tong Shuai in the imperial court, these are not something you can suppress with an explanation." Fang Qian suddenly spoke.

Sun Tu nodded: "What Fang Jiyi said is that in the final analysis, all of this is caused by the bottom, and I am fully responsible." And in the next is already thinking about making a remedy. ”

"Remedy? It's easier said than done! Fang Qian shook his head, but Tong Guan, seeing Sun Tu's calm appearance, his suspicion was much less, so he asked, "What countermeasures have you thought of?" ”

"In fact, the inside story of this matter has been clearly investigated, everything is designed behind the fried chicken created by the Niulou Hotel coveting my creation. And the owner behind this Niulou Hotel is Zhang Bingcang's family in Cao Langzhong, the right of the household......"

"Zhang Bingcang......" Hearing Sun Tu mention this name, Tong Guan's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and Fang Qian's face also changed slightly.

Don't look at Zhang Bingcang is now just a six-rank court official, but he was actually demoted two years ago. And the reason why he was demoted two levels from the household servant was because he failed to prevent Tong Guan from using troops against Western Xia, and became a victim after Tong Guan's Western Expedition achieved a series of victories. It can be said that Zhang Bingcang is one of the few officials in the DPRK who dares to go against Tong Guan head-on.

Sun Tu didn't know these inside information, so he just told the truth everything he knew, from Zhang Jian's previous failure to buy a fried chicken recipe with a lot of money to the end of his disguise in the middle of Liufang, there was no concealment at all.

After saying these words, Tong Guan believed in him for three more points, and his expression eased a little: "In this way, everything started because of the Zhang family?" ”

"In fact, it is difficult to escape the blame, after all, I exposed the flaws to them." Sun Tu said, and said: "That's why I will think of remedies in the future, since he Zhang Jia's side door is left, I can only return a tooth for a tooth." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fang Qian asked curiously.

"Since Zhang Bingcang wants to frame Tong Shuai with the matter of private salt, we can naturally retaliate. I have found some news the next morning, in fact, the Niulou Hotel itself is not clean, as long as it is used well, Zhang Bingcang will inevitably be implicated. When the time comes, let the previous reasons out again, and all the criticism of Tong Shuai will be self-defeating. Sun Tu said his own countermeasures.

Tong Guan was still a little satisfied with this statement, but Fang Qian was a little worried: "They have taken the lead in this matter, will you be accused of revenge by doing this?" How many people in the government and the opposition will believe it? ”

"At this point, you can just rest assured, because the person who caused the Zhang family to have an accident is none other than his own son!" Sun Tu said, and only then did he briefly tell what he had been doing in secret in the past few days.

After saying this, Tong Guan and Fang Qian were stunned for a moment, and then they both showed gloating smiles. The former even stroked his palms and said: "Sun Tu, I didn't expect you to have such thoughts, the old man really underestimated your ability." It seems that the Zhang family is already in the palm of your hand. Okay, as long as it can be done this time and let me get out of this bad breath, the old man will definitely give you a chance to stand out in the future. ”

"I don't dare to ask for credit, I just want to make up for it." Sun Tu replied very indifferently: "Don't worry, Tong Shuai, it won't take much time, before the Chinese New Year, I will definitely let the Zhang family suffer the consequences!" ”

"Very well, there you go."

When Sun Tu walked out of the hall unharmed, Zhou Yun, who was deliberately waiting outside to see what happened to him, couldn't believe his eyes. Why did this kid pass the test again? What is his ability to make his uncle look at him differently?

In the hall, Tong Guan looked at Fang Qian and said, "Liangyu, if this person can really become an official, he will have to use it well in the future, maybe he can help us a lot." ”

Fang Qian nodded approvingly: "What Tong Shuai said is that this son is definitely not a thing in the pool. Not only is he bold, but his methods are also eclectic, so now we will have one less thorn in our side. "This is the result of directly pronouncing Zhang Bingcang's verdict!
