Since sneaking out of Xingqing Mansion at the end of February, Sun Tu finally returned safely to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty after some twists and turns. Fortunately, it has been a long time since the accident a year ago, and there are constant disputes between the Xia and the court, and they can't bother to search and track his whereabouts with all their might, so that he can really escape.

After returning to the Great Song Dynasty, after some weighing, Sun Tu did not rush to reveal his identity or rush to Bianjing to meet Tong Guan, but returned directly to Qingzhou, Shandong. Because he knows very well that this is where he is fundamental, if he really enters Beijing and is sued by some people in the court or calculated, it will be extremely difficult to return to Qingzhou.

It's just that in this way, Sun Tu spent more time on the road, and it was not until the middle of May that he arrived in Qingzhou, but he saw many changes along the way that he did not want to see. At this time, a conversation in the tea house made him even more angry, and his emotions were a little out of control.

What kind of person is Sun Tu, there are thousands of lives under him, and he is angry at this time, how can he stand it with these ordinary people in front of him, and several people exclaimed in surprise at that moment, and looked at him with a panicked face. It was only at this time that he suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly collected his momentum, put down the tea bowl that had been broken by him, and smiled apologetically at everyone: "I was a little presumptuous just now, and I hope you don't want to be surprised." Old man, this bowl will be counted in the tea money! As he spoke, he picked up the teapot in front of him, drank the tea in one go, took out twenty or thirty dollars and put it on the table, got up and wanted to leave.

Originally, Sun Tu was in a hurry to rush back to Qingzhou, but now after hearing about all the changes there, he was even more heartfelt and didn't want to delay any longer. When the old man who sold tea saw that he had left so much money, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The guest officer has given too much, even if you count the money for the tea bowl, it doesn't cost ten ......."

"Your tea is the most suitable for me, and the rest will be thanked by the old man for today's hospitality." Sun Tu smiled, strode to the horse, and just untied the reins and wanted to get on the horse to continue his journey, when he saw a team of soap-clothed officials suddenly coming on the road ahead. The guests and the old people in the tea house all showed panic when they saw them coming, and a few people who were still drinking tea and talking slowly immediately got up and hurriedly walked to the other end.

But the old man couldn't leave, so he could only stay there with a worried face, and his shrunken gaze didn't even dare to look at the official who had already walked straight to the tea house. As if there was no one around, these officials walked into the tea house and asked in a condescending tone: "Jiang Lao'er, you should pay the grain tax and the tax money for your tea stall today!" ”

"I also asked a few poor masters to be accommodating, the little old man really can't come up with so much food and taxes...... My sons have been drafted into the army, and there is no one to cultivate the acres of land in my family, so where will they get the grain to pay taxes? And this tea stall is only thirty or fifty a day, and everyone has to open their mouths for ten times, this ......"

"Bold! You really don't know anything, I already gave you time to raise money and food because I saw that you were old. I can't imagine that you are not only ungrateful, but you still want to prevaricate and delay today, is it true that my Great Song Law Order can't dispose of you? An official glared at him and scolded him with a threat. At the same time, the gaze of another companion next to him quickly fell on the twenty or thirty copper coins left by Sun Tu on the table, and immediately stepped forward to grab one of them in his hand, looking at the old man whose face was becoming more and more pale, he smiled and said: "You old thing is really a master who wants money and doesn't want to die, and at this time you dare to lie to me and wait!" Your tea stall only gets dozens of dollars a day? It's just past noon today, where did you get all this money? It seems that if you are not taken back to the city and punished, you will not pay! ”

As soon as he said this, several officials rolled up their sleeves and wanted to take down the old man who was already trembling with fright. The other two guests in the tea house were also silent at this time, and they didn't dare to say a word, let alone come forward to explain a thing or two to the old man.

Just when the old man whispered that he had been wronged, but he didn't dare to dodge, a voice sounded from behind them: "I gave the money to this old man, did I have to ask a few of you?" ”

The cold voice made the officials slightly startled, and they quickly turned around to look over, and saw a cold young man dressed from afar looking at him and the others with cold eyes. Zhong Yi, who was the leader, faintly felt that this person's appearance was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but when he collided with the other party's gaze, a chill still rose suddenly.

However, the other officials were still arrogant at this time, staring at Sun Tu who came back and said, "Which guy didn't put on his pants properly and exposed you?" Boy, can you take care of things like government taxes? As he spoke, he glanced at him leading the horse, and his eyes showed greed: "By the way, two days ago, my state capital yamen just lost a good horse, don't you steal it!" You are unlucky today, since you have shown up, you can wait for me to return to the city to be convicted! As he spoke, he conveyed with a look, and the other officials immediately understood, and raised the stick in their hands to take the person down.

Sun Tu really didn't expect these officials to be so scoundrels, they could convict people casually, and his face immediately became a little gloomy, seeing that a person was swinging a stick, he only dodged the stick with a slight flash, and then grabbed the stick with his hand, and then shook and shook it, so that the official messenger got rid of the stick in the exclamation, and the person staggered back.

Seeing that he snatched his brother's stick with a light move, these officials finally became a little nervous, and immediately shouted: "What a thief not only steals horses but also dares to resist arrest, isn't he afraid of Wang Fa?" As he spoke, several people all danced with sticks in their hands, sweeping towards Sun Tu's head, face, neck and other vital places.

The momentum of these guys is not small, but in Sun Tu's eyes, it is no different from a few children, just listen to a cold snort, the stick in his hand has whined out strangely, and then the hair came first, before these people hit him, he pointed the tip of the stick on the wrist of these people one after another, and after a few painful screams, the sticks in their hands all crackled to the ground, and Sun Tu did not even move half of his steps from beginning to end.

"You...... Rebellion, there are Liangshan thieves who have gone down the mountain to kill officials! An official suddenly shouted, turned his head and ran towards the official road leading to Qingzhou, and the others also made the same choice later, only Zhong Yi, who was the leader, still looked at Sun Tu with some apprehension, and his eyes had flashed with horror, but he did not run for his life like the others.

Sun Tu was really angry and funny when he saw this, these guys really showed the word scoundrel to the extreme. Of course, he couldn't let them escape at this time, so he immediately chased after them with a single arrow step, and quickly knocked all these officials to the ground with a random wave of the long stick in his hand.

It was only at this time that these people really relented, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The hero spares his life, I will know that I am wrong." Pity me for having an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child to raise, and I hope that a good man will spare my life! ”

Sun Tu stared at them faintly: "Now you also know that you are afraid?" In that case, why did you have to be so hard pressed with this old man just now? He's just opening a tea stall to make a living, and you're going to take him as an official? ”

"I ...... We are also acting on orders, but he has not paid the government's taxes, and we always have to collect and recover our lives. The official hurriedly explained.

"It's just a tea stall, and you're going to charge him ten heavy taxes? This is a tax, it is clearly a matter of human life! I've never heard of such a rule in Qingzhou Mansion, even when Murong Yanchao was in office, there was no such heavy tax! Sun Tu stepped forward again and asked: "Say, are you waiting for the name of the government to collect a lot of benefits in the middle?" ”

"The heroes are wronged, how dare the villains have such thoughts? We really did what we were ordered, but it wasn't to force him to death, but to bring him back so that he could be recharged into the army......" In the face of Sun Tu's terrifying momentum, this one finally told the truth.

When Sun Tu heard this, he was stunned, what kind of purpose is this? What is the use of such a person who wants to force such a sixty-year-old man into the army?

Seeing that he was hesitant, everyone thought he was afraid, so someone dared to say: "This good man, we are all acting according to the charter, if you don't come down from Liangshan, this matter has nothing to do with you, and the affairs of the government are not something that people like you can manage!" If you leave now, we won't be embarrassed by you. But if you have to entangle, as soon as my Qingzhou army arrives, no matter how good your martial arts are, I'm afraid you don't want to get benefits! ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Tu suddenly let out a disdainful laugh when he heard this: "You shouldn't be from a serious official background, you used to be a street gangster, right?" Seeing that a few people looked stunned, he knew that his judgment was good, and the words and deeds of these people were really no different from those of scoundrels, the only difference was the clothes.

Then, he glared again: "Who said that I can't control such a ridiculous thing that the Qingzhou government has done?" I'm not afraid to tell you, as long as it's something in Qingzhou, I can take care of it, I should take care of it! Speaking of this, the momentum on his body suddenly exploded, so that these officials did not dare to say a word, and no one questioned and asked questions again.

And at this moment, Zhong Yi, who had been standing on the edge of the tea house, finally understood, let out an exclamation, his eyes were fixed on Sun Tu, his body trembled even more quickly like a swing, and he said in horror: "You...... You are...... You are the eunuch of the capital of Sun...... Are you back in the yang? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their faces and were dumbfounded!
