Volume 4 The Boat Against the Current Chapter 171 Aftersound

With Tong Guan coming forward, Qian Cong was taken down as the head of Pink Swallow, and this big case against Pink Swallow caused by the kidnapping of Yu Shen's granddaughter finally came to an end. Next, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will conduct a detailed trial of this serious case, and then deal with the relevant people and criminals severely, and even the Kaifeng Mansion, which handled this case before, can no longer inquire about relevant matters at this time.

As for Sun Tu, a member of Kaifeng Prefecture who really set off this case completely, it is naturally impossible for him to participate in the process of trying the case. In fact, he no longer had the energy and strength to pay attention to these court trials that had already had results, and after coming out of the Shunde Marquis's Mansion, he went home to rest.

You must know that since the day before yesterday set up a game to lure Lu Fang out, until today, everything is settled, he has not slept for three days and two nights, Rao is young and has a good physical foundation, and he has reached the end of the strong crossbow at this time. So after returning home, explaining a few words to Ya'er, and eating a big bowl of soup cakes, Sun Tu fell on his bed and fell asleep completely.

This sleep, I slept for about ten hours, until the next evening, Sun Tufang woke up leisurely, only to find that the autumn rain in January had actually stopped, and there was even a touch of red light of the sunset in the courtyard.

Seeing him walk out of the door, Ya'er came over: "Third brother, you have slept for a day and a night, you are really worried about me." ”

"I said, why are I so hungry, have I slept for so long?" Sun Tu sighed, then took the millet porridge sent by the girl, ate it in a big gulp, and then asked Ya'er if anyone came to the door during this time.

Ya'er said: "Yes, early this morning, Uncle Cui and a few of them came, saying that they were going to the third brother's house, and Brother Lu also came...... Because I saw that you were still asleep, I didn't disturb you. At the mention of the mountains, her face was also full of sadness.

Sun Tu's face also became solemn again: "Yes, we should also go to see Gao Shan, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Ya'er you are already ......" As he spoke, he had drunk the bowl of millet porridge to the fullest, so he put the bowl on the table: "Let's go, let's go to Gao Shan's house, now that the pink swallow has been completely wiped out, it's better to give him an explanation." ”

"Hmm." Ya'er nodded, she was saved by Gao Shan and Tang Feng, she was naturally grateful and guilty, and she should indeed come to the door to pay tribute and thank you.

By the time Sun Tu and the others came to the Gao family, which was already full of white silk in front of the door, and the monk kept chanting the mantra of death, the sky had completely darkened. This Gao family is a representative of the low-class people in Tokyo, living in an extremely simple and narrow house, and the real family is surrounded by four walls. Now, as soon as a coffin containing a mountain is set aside in the courtyard, most of the house is occupied.

After Sun Tu revealed his identity, a pair of old men full of sadness still welcomed him into the door with some gratitude. Sun Tu took the incense first, bowed a few times to Gao Shan in the coffin with Ya'er, and said softly: "Gao Shan, you can go with confidence, those who kill you will soon pay the price and pay for it with their lives." And your family, my grandson Tu will definitely take care of them and never let them suffer from poverty again. ”

After worshipping Gao Shan, Sun Tu came to Gao Shan's parents and a man who looked more responsible than Gao Shan, and sent the blanket he was carrying on his body: "The second elder forgives his sins, Gao Shan will only be harmed by me at my behest." My Sun Tu can't make other compensation, only these money can make up for it, and I hope the second elder will not dislike it. ”

"This ...... Sun Dutou, absolutely not. Father Gao hurriedly excused himself and said: "Sun Dutou's famous little old man has heard San'er mention it many times, he admires you quite a lot, and he said that he followed you to take the right path, and Xiao Lao'er was also extremely happy about this." Now, although he is gone, he is walking in a dignified manner, which is better than picking quarrels and provoking trouble outside as he used to and being beaten to death in the end. So this money, the little old man will not dare to bear it. ”

"Uncle Gao, listen to me, Gao Shan has already changed his past and has a great future, but it is because of my negligence that he will end up like this, if I can't make amends, I am really uneasy. And I had promised Takayama that he would get him a proper job, and now that he is gone, my promise is still valid. I don't know if you are willing to go to Kaifeng Mansion as an errand? The last sentence was asked by the young man, who was Gao Shan's younger brother in high school.

The senior year of high school was suddenly surprised: "Sun Dutou, do I really have a chance?" ”

"The errands in the yamen have always been close to each other, and I will handle this matter well." Sun Tu immediately patted his chest and assured that as the person who made the first contribution to the Pink Swallow case, Sun Tu was confident that he still had this right.

"I do." Senior nodded vigorously. When his brother had such a serious background before, he was quite envious, and this was a great opportunity to change his own situation.

"Then take this little money, and after the first seven days of the mountain have passed, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion to see me." Sun Tu said, and stuffed the blanket into the other party's hand. This time, even Gao's father couldn't excuse himself again, so he could only thank him repeatedly, and sent Sun Tu to kneel.

It wasn't until this was done that Sun Tu felt a little better, and looked at the two monks who were still chanting scriptures in front of the spirit: "Who invited them?" ”

"It was invited by some friends in San'er's yamen to pool money." Father Gao sighed: "You are all good people, even the funeral things in this house are all paid for by them......"

Sun Tu nodded, knowing that this was the funeral that Tang Feng and the other brothers who had a good relationship with Gao Shan had pooled money to organize. Don't look at these people who are usually a little out of tune, but when something happens, they are still very righteous.

After talking to the Gao family's father and son, Sun Tufang said goodbye and went out. As soon as they walked to the mouth of the alley, they saw a tall figure blocking there, and when they saw themselves coming out, they laughed: "When I went to San Lang's house, I found that you and Ya'er were not there, and the Sprinkle family guessed that you would come here to visit Gao Shan." ”

"Brother Lu." Sun Tu stepped forward and hugged Lu Zhishen, who had come to see him. The latter returned the salute a little apologetically: "This time San Lang, you have encountered such a tricky trouble, but the Sprinkle family has not been able to help because of the mundane things in the temple, it is really ashamed." ”

"Brother Lu's words are serious, you are a monk of Xiangguo Temple, and the errand there is naturally the most important. Just as I am a person from Kaifeng Mansion now, I should naturally obey their dispatches. How to be ashamed. Sun Tu spoke, but his heart was moved. This Lu Zhishen is really righteous, and he will feel guilty because he didn't help himself in this matter.

Lu Zhishen has an open-minded personality, but he didn't get too entangled in this, and said with a smile at the moment: "The Sprinkle family feels even more regretful that they couldn't personally deal with these Xiaoxiao who have been harming for many years. If I had known what the pink swallow had done behind my back, the Sprinkler family would have come to the door and let them taste it. ”

As he spoke, his face turned grim again: "But after this incident, the Sprinkle family has become more and more respectful of San Lang." As you said before, when you become an official, you want to do something for the people. In this way, the eyes of the Sprinkle family are a little shallow, and they only think that being an official is not free, but they don't think that being an official can also help people, eradicate evil, and do better than ordinary people. ”

"This is exactly what I always tell Brother Lu, why I have to be an official. I wonder if Brother Lu is interested in re-entering the official family? When Sun Tu saw this, he took the opportunity to bring up the old matter again.

This time, Lu Zhishen didn't wave his hand and refuse when he mentioned this matter as before, but frowned and said: "The Sprinkle family does feel that what you said makes some sense, but now that I am a monk, and I have committed something before, my net worth is no longer innocent, how can I still re-enter the official family?" Unless it's just an inconspicuous errand in Kaifeng Mansion, how many people can it help? ”

"How can Brother Yilu's ability be a servant of Kaifeng Mansion? Even if you did my position as the head, you wronged you. Sun Tu shook his head and said. He was not flattering the other party, but telling the truth, after all, what Lu Zhishen did before was a promotion in the army of Weizhou Prefecture, and his official position was not low.

Seeing that the other party had questions, he said again: "But as long as Brother Lu has this heart, there will always be opportunities." Especially when we are in Tokyo, as long as we have the heart, we can always let Brother Lu get a dignified background. ”

The two were talking, and they had already returned to Chongmingfang with Ya'er. But as soon as he arrived at the mouth of his alley, Sun Tu saw Cui Luoshang waiting there, and when he saw him, he greeted him: "Dutou, let the little ones wait." ”

"Why are you here? But has something happened in the yamen? Sun Tu hurriedly asked.

"There was nothing wrong in the yamen, but Liao Tongzhi was taken down because he had colluded with Pink Swallow and handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal." Cui Liushang said, and there was a trace of anger on his face: "It's just that I heard that when I reported the credit to the court this time, neither the Fu Yin nor the general judge mentioned your name, but several other heads got some credit, which really makes people feel ......angry."

After knowing that he came because of this, Sun Tu couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to care so much about this matter, I already knew that this was the result." Although I have merit in catching thieves this time, I have also committed many taboos, and my merits and demerits are offset by each other, so the court will not reward me. After coming out of the Hou Mansion yesterday, Tong Guan had already made this point clear to him, so Sun Tu seemed quite calm at this time.

"But ......" Cui Liushang was still a little worthless for Sun Tu, but before he could speak, Sun Tu had already intercepted the conversation: "As a messenger of Kaifeng Mansion, I should take protecting the territory and the people as the first priority." As for what will happen after doing it, it's secondary. ”

When Cui Liushang said this, he was suddenly in awe: "The lesson of the head is yes, and the humble position is understood." After a pause, he lowered his voice: "There is one more thing, before you asked me to secretly detain that person and send it to Mrs. Tong's mansion, I have already done it." ”

Sun Tu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Well done, remember, only a few of us know about this matter, and it must not be leaked out." Although he said the righteousness of Ling Ran just now, he knew very well in his heart that his fame was not in the bosses of Kaifeng Mansion, but in Tong Guan's thoughts. This time, I helped the other party, and I guess the other party will always reciprocate.
