After entering the middle of November, a heavy snowstorm struck the whole territory of Shandong, and the temperature in Qingzhou also plummeted. In order to prevent the occurrence of frozen deaths under his rule, Sun Tu and Huang Wenbing, Wen Yiwu, were very busy in the next few days, in addition to sending a large number of people to patrol around every day to prevent the houses from collapsing by the snow, they also took out a lot of winter materials from the official warehouse to supply the poor people, so as to ensure the safety of the big guys.

It is also their appropriate measures that have saved the people from freezing and snow, and Sun Tu's reputation among the people in Qingzhou has gone all the way. In the past, he was a hero in the eyes of the people and the patron saint of Qingzhou, but now they really treat Sun Dujian as their relatives, and by the way, the relationship between the whole army and the people in Qingzhou has become closer and closer, and the integration of the military and the people has been truly achieved.

It wasn't until the eighteenth day that the wind and snow for many days completely stopped, and the long-lost sun hung high in the sky again. People who had been hiding at home for a while went out again, and on the road they could always see neighbors helping each other shovel snow. By noon, several main streets in Qingzhou City had been cleaned and open to traffic.

When Sun Tu led a team of people to walk on the long street, he couldn't help but feel a rare sense of accomplishment in his heart. This is a wonderful feeling that he has never had when he stirred up the storm in Liaoxia and broke the Liangshan bandits after strategizing on the battlefield, so that the whole city of Qingzhou can be united, and the people live and work in peace and contentment is the thing he is most proud of and gratified. It is said that Shandong people are the most simple and diligent, and some clues can be seen from here.

In the greetings of the people avoiding the roadside, Sun Tu came to a fairly good mansion in the south of the city very smoothly. This house looks not much different from the private house next to it, but as long as you enter the door, you can find that there is another inside story, and there are several soldiers guarding the courtyard behind the door, and all of them are equipped with knives and bows, which is three points tighter than the defense of the mansion.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Sun Tu had arrived that the soldiers guarding the door opened the courtyard door, which made Sun Tu very satisfied, and immediately asked, "Is he still honest these two days?" ”

"This surnamed Chai always regards himself as an uncle, and yesterday he actually asked the little ones to find him some smokeless beast charcoal, we haven't even heard of this thing." The military man led here complained with a bitter face: "And the things we have to eat on weekdays are also strange, and we really can't do anything about him." ”

"Hmph, this Chai Jin also takes himself too seriously, is it true that I owe him Qingzhou?" Zhu Biao, who came with Sun Tu, darkened his face and said in a low voice.

It turned out that after the establishment of the bureau and the destruction of the Liangshan Army that day, Chai Jin fell into the hands of the government. Because of his special identity, after Sun Tu arrived, he had the heart to recruit him, but this Chai official did not buy Sun Tu's account, let him talk badly, and refused to submit to him, so Sun Tu let him be placed under house arrest in this courtyard, and constantly sent the people of Liangshan who had previously submitted to him to lobby him. But as a result, these people couldn't convince Chai Jin at all, but they were beaten down by him, and now Sun Tu can only go out in person again.

Smiling and comforting a few soldiers, Sun Tucai walked inside. After leaving them a little, Zhu Biao complained softly again: "Du Jian, this Chai Jin looks like Wen Cheng is not a martial artist, why do we have to spend so much effort to recruit him?" According to me, if he refuses to submit again, he can just slaughter him with a knife, and he can save a lot of thoughts. ”

"San Lang, you're a little presumptuous, how can someone who has achieved great things not even have this patience?" Sun Tu smiled and shook his head: "And you also mentioned a key point, he is not outstanding in civil and military affairs, so why can he be among the best among those strongmen in Liangshanbo?" It's not because of his noble status and fame. If I slew him with such a sword, it would be pleasant, but what good would it be? ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for the other party to think too clearly, Sun Tu said again: "Killing him will not only have no benefit, but will bring endless troubles." Don't look at him as incompetent, but there are countless people in the world who have received his favor, and if I kill him today, there will be many dead people who will come to assassinate him and take revenge. Of course, I am not afraid of the assassination of those people in the rivers and lakes, but in this way, Qingzhou will definitely not be at peace, which is not what I want to see. ”

Zhu Biao is not a reckless man who only knows how to do things, Sun Tu's explanation finally made him understand, and nodded ashamedly: "What the eunuch said is that I am a little too extreme, and this person is indeed not easy to kill." ”

"But don't be too respectful to him, people like him who are too deferential will be looked down on by him, and you still have to be tough when you should be tough. I'm here today to try to negotiate with him in a different way. As they spoke, the two of them had come to a room with the door closed, and the smile on Sun Tu's face had disappeared at this moment, and there was a hint of palpitating majesty between his eyebrows.

Without knocking on the door, Sun Tu immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door, and then strode in. This made a man in his thirties, with a white face and a slight beard, and a noble air in front of the table in the room, reading by the candlelight, frown, and reprimanded without raising his head: "Don't you even have this little rule? How dare you break into my room at will! ”

"Chai Daguan, it doesn't seem to be your home here, you are not the master of this place, we don't need your permission to enter and exit." An indifferent voice sounded, which made Chai Jin's body tremble slightly, and then looked up at Sun Tu who came closely: "It turned out that Sun Dujian was here, I said who would dare to be so bold." ”

"Bold? It's your courage to see me. After Sun Tu sat down, he looked at the other party and said, "As a captive, I didn't have the slightest consciousness, and I actually filled my Qingzhou City with an uncle, and I still asked for some smokeless beast charcoal...... There really isn't a captive like you in the world. ”

Chai Jin was forced to look at him by his eyes, and his heartbeat was three points faster, but he quickly calmed down again, looked into the other party's eyes, and said in a calm tone: "I'm just used to it, after all, you also know that my background is Sun Dujian, since you don't treat me as a prisoner, I always have to make my life more comfortable." Of course, if you regret it now, it's too late, whether it's killing or chopping, I won't be afraid. ”

Sun Tu looked at his self-determined appearance, Sun Tu didn't laugh angrily: "Chai Daguan is worthy of being a nobleman of the Great Song Dynasty, even in such a situation, he still wants to show his prestige." It's just that I really have some doubts, I don't know if Your Excellency will also enjoy good food in Liangshanbo Cottage, and use smokeless animal charcoal for heating? ”

Chai Jin pursed his lips: "This is not a matter of concern to the eunuch Sun." I joined the cottage out of my own volition, and I have a deep relationship with my brothers, and I should share weal and woe. But it's different here, so I still advise you, don't be strong, either kill me, or let me go, and want me to betray the Liang Shanbo brothers, that's a fantasy! ”

These few sentences are categorical, and there is no room for maneuver. Sun Tu looked at him for a moment, and suddenly laughed again: "Do you really think I don't dare to do anything to you?" Yes, you Chai Jin is a descendant of Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, even if you put it in the imperial court, you have a place, and you are a hero in the world, and your reputation is far and wide. If I kill you like this, I'm afraid there will be no peace in Qingzhou in the future. That's all you rely on, right? ”

Chai Jin didn't answer, but from his expression, Sun Tu could tell that he acquiesced. So he smiled: "It seems that you really think that you can have no scruples with the identity of the descendants of the Chai family, and you believe that I dare not do anything to you." But you're wrong, I really can't kill you, but I can escort you to the capital and let the court convict you! In this way, it is not me who will kill you, but the court. ”

Chai Jin didn't show nervousness because of his threat, he still smiled disdainfully, but he didn't refute it much, obviously Sun Tu's statement was not worth refuting in his eyes. Seeing this, Sun Tu said again: "I know what you are laughing at, you have the Danshu Iron Coupon given by Emperor Taizu in your hand, the gold medal for avoiding death, so you have nothing to fear?" But what I'm trying to tell you is that you're wrong! Even if your Chai family really holds some Danshu iron coupons, it may not really be able to save your life? Don't forget, what did those people in Liangshanbo do, killing officials and rebelling, it is a heinous felony, and as far as I know, the imperial court has long had a law, even if it is a gold medal to avoid death, it is not a felony that cannot be avoided! ”

The calmness on Chai Jin's face finally changed at this moment, and even a trace of horror flashed in his eyes. He had indeed never thought about these things, and he had always thought that he was safe and peaceful because he held the amulet in his hand, but now this layer of protection had been ruthlessly punctured by Sun Tu.

Sun Tu quickly caught this change in him, and said, "And do you really think that the imperial court will deal with you publicly?" If it were me, I would just throw you into prison, and then use some means to make you die in prison, so that you would have saved a lot of trouble. By the way, have you ever been to the prison? The prisoners there are sick and dying every day, and you are afraid that you will die of a violent illness in less than three days if you go in!

"Also, if I do it more ruthlessly, and throw you into a thief and intend to rebel against the imperial court, what do you think will happen to the hundreds of officials in the court and the current officials? I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be the end of your Chai family. I don't know if at that time, in order to protect yourself and survive, will the rest of the Chai family expel you from the house? And if you really lose this last guarantee, it will be easy for the court to kill you again. ”

These words are by no means false, but very likely to come true. This naturally frightened Chai Jindasheng, he was not afraid of death, but because he was sure that he would not die, he dared to be so tough. And now, his protective shell has been completely defeated by Sun Tu, which makes the entire spirit of Chai Daguanren depressed, and he is no longer as calm and calm as before......
