Seeing Sun Tu get up and come out, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who gathered outside the hall to hear the trial were all busy dodging and dodging, and their eyes were full of surprise, panic, doubt, and other complex emotions. Only a few of them still stepped forward to salute after a little hesitation: "The villain has seen the ...... of Yuehou" These are all his former subordinates, including Cui Liushang.

Sun Tu also showed a friendly smile on his face after seeing them: "Lao Cui, Lao He...... How have you been in Tokyo all these years? He almost called the names of all his old subordinates, and none of them were omitted or called wrong, which made these people feel deeply excited and honored, and even replied in a much louder voice: "Thanks to the blessing of the Hou Ye, the villain and so on are all right, I can't imagine that the Hou Ye can still remember my name......

"How can I forget this, you are the old subordinates who founded the security center in the east of the city with me, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be where I am today." Sun Tu behaved even more kindly, and stepped forward to pat a few people on the shoulder, which made the other people around him a little dumbfounded, is this still the Yue Hou who coerced the Quartet in the public court just now?

While speaking, Sun Tu suddenly noticed that Cui Luoshang's expression seemed to be a little strange, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to speak, so he smiled again: "Look at my memory, I planned to invite you to drink a glass of water and wine to catch up with the old days, but I was delayed later. If you have time, why don't you go with me to the restaurant next door for a few drinks? ”

Yuehou actually opened his mouth to invite him, how dare these people not appreciate their faces? Even Zhou Fuyin, who had just calmed down from his stunned stupor, echoed at this moment: "Since Master Hou has good intentions, you can go with him." ”

With the words of the boss, these people were naturally more happy to be close to Sun Tu, and they all nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and then went out of the yamen with Sun Tu, and then went to the nearest restaurant Xianzui Lou, and asked for a private room, and more than 20 people got together to drink together.

However, the current status gap between the two sides is too great, even if Sun Tu behaves very approachable and has no prestige at all, but there is still a lot of pressure on them. After all, even if he doesn't have to oppress people with his identity now, just relying on the murderous aura of the army accumulated over the years on his body is enough to crush these little people who have only been on errands in Kaifeng Mansion for most of their lives.

In this way, the atmosphere in the banquet is a little dull, often only when Sun Tu asks them about the current situation, these people will answer a few words one after another, and then they all laugh and drink, and they don't even dare to toast, so Cui Luoshang relied on his true appreciation of Sun Tu back then and drank two glasses with him.

"In fact, when you were still in the mansion, the villain already knew that you would definitely do something great in the future, think about how you dared to do such a big thing when you were just a head, and uprooted the ghost Fan Lou that had been in trouble for many years, and now looking back, we still feel like we are in a dream." Cui Liushang toasted another glass of wine and praised in his mouth.

Another person took the opportunity to say: "Yes, such a big event, I can experience it once and it is enough to boast for a lifetime." But who would have thought that what was the pinnacle of my life for me was just a starting point for Hou Ye. Over the years, I heard that Master Hou has done all the great things you have done in Shandong, and then I think that we have followed you, and the villains are also deeply honored. Sun Tu just smiled when he heard this, and raised his glass to everyone again: "This is all in the past, in fact, as long as you are responsible, people who want to make a difference will do it like me." ”

"Master Hou is too modest, how can things be so easy. Not to mention the fact that you have repeatedly made meritorious contributions to kill the enemy elsewhere, let's just say that you wiped out many thieves in Bianjing in one fell swoop, and it is no longer possible for others to do it. Just like now...... "This one drank two more glasses, became more bold, and spoke more, until he was halfway through the words, he realized that he was a little too talkative, and hurriedly stopped talking."

Sun Tu had already heard something, and looked at him with a smile and said, "Why, is there anything that can't be said directly to Ben Hou?" ”

"This ......" Just when this person felt regretful and embarrassed, Cui Luoshang suddenly said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide from Master Hou, that is, the ghost Fan Lou thief who was exterminated by us with great difficulty has revived in the past two years, and his arrogance is even more arrogant than before, which has made many people in Beijing panic, but we can't do anything about it......"

When Sun Tu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, it turned out that what he saw that night was not false, and someone was really using the waterway below to do that lawless thing? Thinking about it, he glanced at Cui Luoshang again, could it be that this was the matter he wanted to say but didn't dare to say before? But after all, he is no longer the original subordinate of Kaifeng Mansion, and this kind of public security matter is really not something that the Tiger Army can manage.

Cui Liushang took another sip of the cup at this time, and then seemed to pluck up the courage to say: "In addition, according to the news that the little ones heard, it was said that there was a fish that slipped through the net at the beginning and actually wanted to avenge the revenge at that time, it seems that they want to be unfavorable to Hou Ye, and I hope Hou Ye can be more careful." ”

When Sun Tu heard this, he was stunned. To be honest, he really didn't take these ditch rats too seriously, and he didn't think they could hurt himself. However, Cui Luoshang can say this, which is to care about himself, so he still nodded at him: "Thank you for your reminder, Old Cui, Ben Hou will be on guard." ”

Now that the words have been spoken, Cui Liushang has nothing to hide, and said: "Master Hou, don't be too negligent, as far as I can find out, the current ghost Fan Lou thieves are not only more powerful, but also have stronger backers, so they are acting more and more unscrupulously, and even our Kaifeng Mansion can only retreat from them." ”

"Is that so?" Sun Tu finally began to be more solemn at this time, and asked busily: "Then can you find out who their backer is?" ”

Cui Liushang didn't dare to say it for a while, but he just said: "That's an important minister in the court, and the villain can't afford to provoke him at all. ”

Is there such a thing? Sun Tu's eyes narrowed, and then he realized that the water in this matter was even more turbid than he thought. The others didn't hear it, and continued to drink, looking cautious. And Cui Liushang, after bowing his head and thinking for a while, said: "There is another thing that has nothing to do with them, Master Zhou, who was killed by them, ...... " In the end, his voice also lowered unconsciously.

Sun Tu didn't pay much attention to it at first, and took a sip of the wine glass, only then did he see something wrong from the other party's expression: "What Master Zhou?" You got the word clear. ”

"It's Zhou Dong Zhou...... Master Zhou ...... "As soon as Cui Liu's words came out, he found that Sun Tu's face had changed suddenly, and a thick killing intent had flashed in his eyes, so frightened that his body trembled violently, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

And Sun Tu only felt that there seemed to be a thunderous explosion in his ears at this time, and the whole person was a little wooden, so he only stared at Cui Liushang fiercely, and asked word by word for a while: "What did you say?" Master, he ...... What the hell is going on? ”

When Sun Tu apprenticed to Zhou Tong, he was still in the security station, and these subordinates had also been with him a few times, so they naturally knew the relationship between the two parties, and when they saw Sun Tu behaving like this, they immediately knew that Yue Hou didn't know about it, and at this time, everyone was panicked, and subconsciously stood up one after another: "Hou ...... Hou Ye was angry......"

"I ask you, what the hell is going on? How could my master's generation of grandmasters be victimized by these small masters? Sun Tu's face was still sinking like water, his eyes were like knives, he swept over everyone, and asked in a cold voice, he had completely lost his previous kind appearance.

Cui Liushang was quite calm here, because he had expected that such a result might occur, so after a while, he whispered: "Just more than half a year ago, I received a report from Kaifeng Mansion, saying that there was a death in the north of the city, and when I arrived, I found that Master Zhou was killed in his own home......" Saying, he glanced at Sun Tu carefully, and added: "Master Zhou has many scars on his body, and his eyes are also fascinated by lime, and after a later examination, it was also found that he was poisoned in his body, That's why they were killed. In addition, after a subsequent investigation, I found that before that, there were always some pimpling thieves near Master Zhou's house, and they should all be guys in Sanssouci Cave. ”

At this time, Sun Tu had calmed down a little, but his eyes were still red, and his right hand was holding the wine glass even more, after listening to these words, he was even more violent, only to hear a click, the wine glass was crushed by his bare hands, the fragments cut through the palm, and the blood ticked down, he didn't pay any attention, just continued to look at Cui Luoshang: "Then what?" ”

Yes, since there are already clues, didn't Kaifeng Mansion continue to investigate, find those murderers, and determine the causes and consequences of the murder?

"Later, we did take some people, but they were obviously not the real culprits in this case, which Xiao Tuiguan made a judgment early, and as far as he said, this matter is also very related to a person of high status. But just when Xiao Tuiguan was going to investigate along the vine, he was dismissed and demoted from Tokyo because he was accused and convicted, and after that, Kaifeng Mansion was banned, and no one dared to mention the case. It's just that a few suspects who were caught before were convicted indiscriminately, and then they were assigned to the ......"

Sun Tu's eyes were heavy, but he gradually understood in his heart, this matter was indeed weird to the extreme, I was afraid that someone above was deliberately exerting pressure to cover up the truth. This is just like the fire in Changxingfang at the beginning, just because it is about important people, some people can't hope for it.

But at the same time, he felt extremely remorseful, how could he be so careless, not only did he not think about going over to see the master when he returned to Beijing for many days, but he didn't even know about his murder until today.
