Volume 4 The Boat Goes Against the Tide Chapter 179 The Turmoil in the East Market (II)
With this shout, a group of more than a dozen people who had quickly pushed aside the onlookers rushed over, and the face of one of the officials, who should have been quite elegant, was now full of sweat, and the official hat on his head was already crooked.
Sun Tu's stick suddenly stopped two or three inches away from the opponent's chest, and it was not implemented after all. Because he heard a bit of the majesty of an official government from this stop, and also guessed the identity of the comer, he stopped first, and then glanced back and swept behind him: "What does this official have to say?" ”
"Jiang Xudong, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, these people are all envoys of the Liao State, you must not hurt them." After hurriedly saying this key sentence, he looked at Sun Tu again: "You are from Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
"Sun Tu, the head of Xiaguan Kaifeng Mansion, has seen Jiang Shaoqing." Sun Tuluo turned around, bent down and hugged the other party: "But these Liao people made trouble in the east of our city, and injured several people in a row, and the duty of the lower officials is to take them down and bring them to justice." ”
Hearing Sun Tu's name, Jiang Xudong's eyebrows couldn't help jumping, he had already heard that this person was a maverick, and even the Wei State Mansion dared to stand up, could he really suppress him as an official of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites? But even if he hesitated in his heart, he still said: "Please also ask Sun Du to raise his noble hand, hand them over to the official and take them back, and then their envoy will deal with them, what do you think?" This is also Sun Tu's reputation, if he wants to change someone else, he has already directly ordered the messenger of Kaifeng Mansion to hand over people.
"Sun Dutou, you can't let them go, otherwise we will have to wait for a grievance!" Suddenly, someone among the people next to him shouted: "They wounded my father, and now I don't know whether he is alive or dead, we must not let them go like this." ”
One person spoke up, and immediately attracted the support of more people: "Yes, Sun Dutou, you have already set a rule in the east of my city not to hurt people, they Liao people not only injured people, but even resisted arrest with knives, and even the tolerance of the security station was injured, but they can't let them escape!" ”
The people of Tokyo were already hostile to the Liao, but now when they see them hurting people in public, they are naturally excited. If they were to help take people, they would naturally not have the courage, but now that Sun Tu is here, everyone is still willing to say a few words to let him be the master of the people.
It's just that in this way, Sun Tu was set up, and Cui Luoshang and other subordinates were also embarrassed for him. Although the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is not high, he is also much stronger than Sun Tu, the military attache of the Nine Grades. What's more, there is the entire Ministry of Rites and Yamen behind it, if there is really a conflict with them, the family will have to suffer after the head of the family.
But if the three of them are handed over to Honglu Temple like this, I am afraid that the three Liao people who committed the crime will go unpunished. And in this way, Sun Tu's prestige in the city that he finally managed to neutralize will be discounted, and if he wants to take people in the future, he will be prevaricated by them about this matter, and the taste is not good.
"Sun Dutou, these Liao people are all members of the mission, if there is really a bad pool, it is not something you can afford alone. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your subordinates. Jiang Xudong spoke again, and his tone was much more serious than before.
Just when Sun Tu felt a little embarrassed and weighed the pros and cons, several brothers in front of him suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful!" At the same time, he suddenly felt a sharp wind rise in the back of his head, and he was actually attacked by a sneak attack.
It turned out that the Liao people, who were standing last, saw the stalemate of the situation, and found that they were far from being Sun Tu's opponents, so they finally turned their hearts on the side and suddenly launched a sneak attack. Taking advantage of the opportunity for Sun Tu to turn around and focus on the people of Honglu Temple, he stepped forward and slashed at the back of his neck with a swing of his knife.
He was confident that the speed of this knife was extremely fast, and the other party would definitely be unable to dodge and parry, and a hideous smile appeared on his face. As long as you kill this guy who dares to fight with himself and others, the others will definitely be afraid, and they will be able to leave safely.
But at the moment when the steel knife was close, Sun Tu's neck suddenly deviated to the side, narrowly letting go of this fatal knife, and at the same time, the stick that was originally in his hand had been whistling and picking up, and he actually used the tail of the stick to slam the opponent's lower body like an eye in the back of his head, and hit the other party with a terrible scream, and the whole body suddenly bowed into a shrimp shape, and tears and snot flowed out.
However, Sun Tu's shoulder was still slashed by him, and a large piece of skin and flesh splashed out with blood, and some even fell on Jiang Xudong and the others, making them scream and retreat, and two of the attachés were even more weak under their feet and fell to the ground. How could these people from Honglu Temple have ever seen such a violent scene, but it scared them a lot.
At this time, Sun Tu's movements had not stopped, and when he pulled the person to the ground with a stick, he quickly twisted his body, kicked out with both feet in a row, and slammed into the guy who had fallen to the ground and was constantly convulsing without mercy, kicking him sideways and flying out, and after rolling on the ground for a while, he fell to the ground, not knowing life or death.
At this time, Cui Luoshang and his subordinates couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rushed forward, and completely suppressed the three Liao people with the sticks in their hands, preventing them from having the possibility of turning over and getting up. Just now, they couldn't help Du Tou because of the timidity and hesitation in their hearts, and the lack of reaction, but after such an accident, they could no longer stand idly by.
And Sun Tu's face had also turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, so he immediately shouted: "Come on, bring them all back to the security station for me, and if there is any resistance, kill them!" ”
"Yes!" These subordinates immediately agreed, and quickly took action to tie up the three Liao people who had lost the ability to resist. Such orders and reactions immediately won the unanimous applause of the surrounding people, and everyone felt like they were raising their eyebrows.
It wasn't until the cheers rang out that Jiang Xudong came back to his senses from the panic just now, and when he saw the Liao people being kidnapped, he immediately became anxious: "Sun Dutou, do you have to think about the consequences...... These are the envoys of the Liao State......"
"In my eyes, these Liao people are all thieves who are traitors, they not only hurt people and resist arrest, but also want to assassinate me, an official of the imperial court, so in order to protect my peace in Tokyo, I must take them to be strictly interrogated! If Jiang Shaoqing has anything unclear, he can report it to the imperial court. But today this is the duty of the officials, and they will never hand over people to you! This time, Sun Tu's attitude has become quite resolute, and he doesn't give the other party any room for bargaining at all, and after speaking, he waved his hand: "Take the three prisoners back!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, and dragged the three Liao people out of the crowd. Seeing this, those people subconsciously moved to the sides to make way for them, and many people looked at Sun Tu and these servants with reverence in their eyes, and even some of the attachés around Jiang Xudong also had respect for this.
It wasn't until they saw Sun Tu and them escorting people away that several officials from Honglu Temple, who had not dared to step forward to obstruct them, looked at Jiang Xudong with some uneasiness: "Shaoqing, what should we do next?" ”
Jiang Xudong's face was cloudy for a while, and he sighed after a while: "Let's go, I will go to the court to ask for guilt." As for that Sun Tu, he is in trouble this time, and those Liao people will definitely refuse to give up. ”
Among the onlookers, several big men had complicated faces, and only after a while did someone sigh: "This time Lao Tzu can be regarded as serving this Sun Yanluo." Whether it is a person in the government or the most difficult person in the pink swallow, he is fearless, and that's it. Now even the Liao people are caught when he says he will be caught, so it seems that our brothers of the Bamboo Gang are not unjust when they suffer under him. ”
"Helper, the brothers all feel that this Sun Yanluo is a good man, very different from other yamen eagle dogs."
"Yes, it's a waste for such a good man to be in officialdom. Let's go. As he spoke, the Bamboo Gang dispersed as quickly as the rest of the people.
At this time, the people of Kaifeng Mansion who had already walked out of Dongshi looked at Sun Tu, who was still injured on his shoulder, with some concern: "Dutou, your injury is not light, you have to go to the hospital to bandage and use medicine." ”
Sun Tu grinned, shook his head and said, "Time is pressing, it's too late to go to the hospital." Let's go back to the public security station to try the case, and you go to the two of you to find someone who understands Khitan and a doctor to treat my injuries. If I don't hurry, I'll be in vain. ”
Only he knew that it was his own temporary choice to be cut off from his shoulder and scalp after all. Otherwise, with Sun Tu's current martial arts, the Liao people's sneak attacks from now on would not be able to touch him at all.
The situation of suitable talents has become a dilemma, even Sun Tu does not know what choice to make. But the sudden knife of the Liao people made him temporarily flash a game-breaking strategy, deliberately stabbed, he could grasp the initiative, even if the court wanted to investigate it later, he had a good reason to prevaricate.
In addition, from today's conflict, Sun Tu also clearly felt the reality that the Liao people are now weak, as an ethnic minority that advocates force, the Khitan people should be accustomed to confronting people head-on and disdain to sneak attacks. But today, these three people attacked one after another, which is completely a manifestation of their lack of confidence in their own force.
Seeing the slight knowledge, it can be seen from this little thing that today's Liao State is not much stronger than the Great Song Dynasty, which is already weak in Wensheng and Wu.
When Sun Tu escorted the Liao people back to the security station, Shen Liang and the others, who had already returned from the medical hall, were a little surprised, but after knowing that their own capital was also injured by the Liao people, they were excited again, and they couldn't wait to teach these guys a good lesson.
Fortunately, Sun Tu waved his hand in a timely manner: "The top priority is to review the matter, and there is a chance to get angry after you want to get angry." This saved these Liao people from a new round of suffering.
But soon, Sun Tu had them escorted to the front of the court, and he personally interrogated the three guys who had recovered their senses, who had just been bandaged: "Say, why are you making trouble in Dongshi, but do you have any other intentions?" ”
