The sun sets, and another evening, Sun Tu returned home from the government office with a lot of worries. However, after pushing the door and entering the hospital, he saw Tong Mu sitting on a stone bench talking to Yaer. When he saw him coming back, he smiled and said hello: "It's not too early for Sanlang to come back. It seems that Kaifeng Mansion is not easy to do."

Sun Tu looked at the other party with a little surprise, then smiled and walked forward: "I heard people say that it is difficult to be a Beijing official. I haven't taken it seriously yet. This time I have really experienced it. Second brother, you don't have to go around in circles. You came to see me because of the Changxingfang fire." As he spoke, he was already sitting aside, while Ya'er obediently ran to the kitchen to prepare supper.

Tong Mu smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I can't hide my thoughts from you, Saburo. And you should have already figured out the inside story of this case from all the details, right?" He had guessed something just from Sun Tu's vigilant look.

Sun Tu poured each of them a cup of tea for each of them - this was something he couldn't get used to the tea soup that was now very tasty and asked Yaer to prepare for him - then nodded and said, "No, if I expected it, this matter should be unrelated to Zhou Yun, right? It is precisely because he is the real culprit of this case that Kaifeng Mansion is so anxious to close the case, and the Shunshui Gang will throw Xu Tieying, the master of the hall, to plead guilty without hesitation. Second brother, I guess this should be good?" As he said that, his eyes were already staring at the other party's face.

Tong Mu, who was about to serve a sip of tea, suddenly had a meal, and then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that Sanlang, you know more than I thought, it really makes people look at him with admiration." This sentence is just an admission that Sun Tu's judgment is correct.

"So you are here to persuade me not to continue investigating this case?" Sun Tu's face became extremely serious and he continued to ask.

"When we knew you started to investigate this case, not only me, but also my uncle and the old man were watching. Soon after, we found out that the case was actually related to my cousin. After my uncle asked, he told the truth - it was because Qi Xuanwen refused to sell the white tiger skin to him that he did such a ridiculous thing in anger..." Tong Mu did not rush to answer Sun Tu's question, but told the truth of the case first: "I'm afraid you suspected your cousin because of this white tiger skin?"

Sun Tu nodded and admitted, but didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to answer the question just now. Tong Mu said after a bitter smile: "Actually, I am deeply annoyed by this matter, but he is my cousin after all, and the matter is likely to involve his uncle and his old man. You should also know that although his uncle is a Privy Councilor, there are many enemies with him, and many people are trying to find him in every way - so I can only be sorry for the victims.

"I hope Sanlang, you don't get involved in this case anymore. This is a matter that is beneficial to my Tong family and great for you. My uncle has always been the best. If someone insists on being an enemy of him, even if he is a person who is highly valued by him, he will not let it go. Sanlang, listen to my advice, it is better not to force himself, otherwise the consequences will not be something you can bear."

Sun Tu was silent, and he naturally understood that the other party said that these things were indeed for his own sake. With Tong Guan's power, even the top officials in the court would not dare to really anger him. And if he had to make the truth of the case public, he would probably have only one result in convicting Zhou Yun.

Seeing that he did not make a statement, Tong Mu said again: "I know what you are thinking. Those people are indeed unfairly dead, but have you ever thought about it? Even if you really do not hesitate to reveal that you can really seek justice for them? I am afraid that in the end, you will not be able to condemn the real murderer. And even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Ya'er. What should she do if something happens to you?"

All these few sentences hit Sun Tu's vital point and made him unable to solve it at all, especially the last sentence, which made him feel even more heartbroken. Yes, if he had lost himself, Ya'er's result in this world would inevitably be very miserable, and she would never let her suffer any grievances!

Seeing that he had been shaken, Tong Mu said again: "You and I are now in a low position. Even if you have the idea of ​​making a decision for the people, it is impossible to do so. So why not make concessions temporarily and make compensation when one day you really have real power? I think Saburo you should see this more clearly than me. Isn't this the goal of your and my struggle forward?"

Sun Tu finally spoke: "You are right. You are not afraid of losing firewood when you keep the green mountains. Today's concessions are just to make those guys who can pay a heavy price in the future!"

"I'm relieved if you think so. Even my cousin won't always protect him. As long as he does something that can anger my uncle, he can still punish him and comfort the spirits in heaven who died in vain." Tong Mu exhaled and said with a point of view.

After hearing this, Sun Tu's heart moved. Judging from these few words, Tong Mu was afraid that Zhou Yun would be resentful, and even murderous, but he had always hidden this emotion very well.

Tong Mu did not notice his momentary misunderstanding and continued, "So let it end in this case. In fact, you have offended the Shunshui Gang this time. In their opinion, if you hadn't insisted on continuing to investigate the case, Xu Tieying would not have been brought into the case. If they hadn't known that you were the one whom my uncle valued, I'm afraid they would have attacked you."

Sun Tu nodded: "I understand. In fact, making enemies with the Shunshui Gang is not a big deal. Since I am working in Kaifeng Mansion, I will always be enemies with them." This reminded him of Sun Fu's analysis when explaining the power in the east of the city to himself that the Shunshui Gang was the target of his suppression.

Of course, Tong Mu would not take such a Jianghu Gang too seriously. At this time, he just said to make him be careful in everything, and then drank the tea in the cup and then stood up to say goodbye. He came here to persuade Sun Tu to stop and stop pursuing the arson case in Changxingfang. Since the purpose was achieved, he would no longer stay.

After his persuasion, Sun Tu finally gave up on continuing to investigate the case. In this way, the case naturally had no change. After reading the relevant confession files, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice quickly closed the case and found that Xu Tieying and several Shunshui Gang members, as well as Huang Qi and others, were charged with arson and murder, which was almost treason and were sentenced to death. Moreover, there was no need to wait until after the autumn, and the execution was immediately executed!

When he heard that the case was reported to the emperor, even Zhao Ji was furious and he decided to punish a criminal without hesitation. You should know that in order to show his kindness, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would generally refuse to punish the death row prisoners several times, and only after the advice of his subordinates would write.

When the relevant prisoners were actually executed, the people of the entire Tokyo city went to see the execution. Many people in Changxingfang even set up incense tables on the side of the court, crying and celebrating their dead relatives, while cursing endlessly, wishing that they would become executioners and chop up these evil criminals.

As the time came at noon, the deceased officer gave the order, and seven heads fell to the ground at the sword. Amid the cheers and scoldings of the people, the arson case that shocked the government and the public finally came to an end. Only a very few people knew that there was a big secret hidden behind it.

Sun Tu did not join in the fun. At this time, he locked himself in the signing room and walked out the door until it was dark.

This case made Sun Tu, who had just entered the officialdom, truly understand some truth. It turns out that what people in this world need is not the truth, but some results that can satisfy all parties. It turns out that in the eyes of those in the court, the lives and death of the people are nothing at all, at most they are just tools for them to seize power. It turns out that they are so small that even if they are willing to do things, they will have many difficulties.

At the moment when he stepped out of the room, Sun Tu had found the direction in the future. He wanted to do his best to gain power to change this unfair world so that such tragedy and powerlessness would no longer happen to him.

At this moment, Sun Tu, who had just entered the officialdom, truly realized it!
