Chapter 137
Han Deshu's face, who had only gone out for one trip, came back, had become even more ugly than when Sun Tu exposed his plan. As soon as he saw him like this, the other two knew what he had just gotten. The Han family did not succeed, and the two yamen were still escorting them in the public security office.
"Sun Dutou is indeed very skillful and has a solution to it early in the morning!" Han Deshu gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Tu and said, "It's really a fearful young man."
Sun Tu smiled and didn't say much, just looked at the other party: "Now Manager Han can consider my suggestion just now, and use money to atone for his sins?"
"What if my Han family refuses? Do you really dare to judge my yamen seriously?" He was a little angry, but he really couldn't swallow the tone that was suppressed.
Sun Tu glanced at Han Changzhou and said, "Actually, I don't have the right to convict the judge. At most, I just detained the two criminals for a period of time. However, there are so many cases that I need to deal with in Kaifeng Prefecture every day. As a subordinate, I don't have to bother with the prefect or the judge Xue Tong for a small matter, so the two criminals can only be locked up for a while. Of course, you can rest assured that I will not provide food for other prisoners, but the two yamen are valuable after all, and I will not starve them. But there is one thing I can do. They accidentally fell off the horse and brought some injuries when they were taken down. If it was delayed for a long time and left some hidden dangers, it would not be our responsibility."
His words were calm and gentle, but Han Deshu was anxious and he didn't dare to fight for any urgency: "My Yanei was injured? Tell me, how much money should I pay to atone for my sins?" If the two Yanei really had a good life, his responsibility would be great.
"It's easy to say, in fact, the ones who gave us Kaifeng Prefecture are only about 230 kilns. You can ask Judge Xue Tong for the specific number. However, if you really want the two yamen to come out safely, you still need your Han family to compensate the people who were injured by them." Sun Tu continued.
"That's how much it can be worth, just let me give it to my Han family." Han Deshu agreed immediately, just hoping to pick up the person out quickly.
"I'll forget it, it's only 1,060 guan, not too much." Sun Tu reported the number, but immediately changed his color: "How much did you say? How could you compensate for so much money?"
"Manager Han, do you think I'm slandering you? Here I have a list of those who were injured by two yamen horses, totaling fifty-three. Each of them had to prepare for them the cost of medicine, loss of work, family support and other compensation. To calculate all the 100% ounces, it's not too much for each person to be twenty cents. And as long as the money is paid, they will definitely not get into trouble, which is also of great benefit to the Duke of Wei's Mansion." Sun Tu was prepared for a long time, and immediately took out a piece of paper full of things from his sleeve, opened it and handed it over.
If Sun Fu had been here, he would have recognized that this was exactly the one written by Sun Tu in his face. It turned out that he had expected that the other party would have to compromise, so he even prepared the relevant details.
Han Deshu didn't take the paper, but just stared at Sun Tu: "It seems that Sun Dutou, you are sure to get my Han family?"
"I dare not, I just took out the best choice. One thousand two to three hundred guan may be a huge number for ordinary families, but it is not worth mentioning to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It is always a good idea to redeem the two yanees for this reason. Moreover, some people in the court cannot make a big fuss about this matter, and even the Han family can demonstrate their fairness and selflessness. Such good things are much more valuable than one thousand guan."
"What do you mean?" Han Deshu asked with a frown.
Sun Tu smiled and explained: "Since the Han family is using money to atone for their sins, they will naturally explain the mistakes made by the court and the people of the world. In this way, the people of the world will know that the Duke of Wei is indeed impartial and righteous, and will not act partial because the children of their own mistakes are made. This matter is a good thing for the court and the Duke of Wei. I wonder what Manager Han thinks?"
"You... are really good at planning." Well, after going around so much, the other party finally put the charges on the two yamen. After paying more than a thousand stale money, his family couldn't even keep their reputation. The only gain was that the two yamen would not suffer really. This made Han Deshu want to completely reject Sun Tu's proposal, but when he said that, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Because he suddenly found that the initiative was in Sun Tu's hands at this time, and he had no chance to turn the tables. Even Han Changzhou had already shown a thoughtful look at this time, but was awakened by Sun Tu's words, "Some people with ulterior motives in the court cannot make a big fuss about this matter."
It turns out that the Han family is also afraid. Although Han Qi is famous and has benefited future generations, he has actually made many political enemies. These enemies have been looking for opportunities to retaliate. Once the Han family really reveals their flaws, some of them are those who take the blame.
As a branch of the Han family, Han Changzhou has been trained by the Han family over the years and has also done a lot for them. Moreover, the other party has never been polite to him because of his identity. For example, today, a Han family manager can be domineering and act recklessly in front of him. It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart.
At this time, Sun Tu pointed out the weakness of the Han family, but also woke Han Changzhou up, which gave him the initiative. Once this matter cannot be reached, Han Changzhou may not be willing to obey their mercy for his own considerations.
After all, Han Deshu is a smart person. After seeing his own situation, he knew that this was indeed the most beneficial choice for the Han family. Even if it would make the Han family lose all their face, it would be much better than if there were more troubles in the future.
So after hesitation, he finally nodded: "Okay, as you said, I will let you withdraw money, and you will let the two yamen go."
"Yes." Sun Tu smiled and nodded: "Then let's pay the money with one hand and the other. Don't worry, I will hand over the money to the injured people. I think that with their character, I will not make things difficult for your Han family again after collecting the money."
This was exchanged for Han Deshu's cold snorting. Could it be that the Han family was still afraid of some ordinary people? But after all, the second manager of the Han family hurriedly left Kaifeng Prefecture. Afterwards, Sun Tu also bowed to Han Changzhou and sued Han Changzhou, he immediately left and returned to the public security office to arrange related matters.
Only Han Changzhou was now in deep thought. Today's debate gave him a new understanding of Sun Tu. This young man was far more smart and bold than he had thought before. At the same time, he also began to think about his future position. It seemed that he didn't have to be timid in front of the Han family. As long as he seized the opportunity, he could still turn his back on the spot.
At this time, not far from the Kaifeng Government Office, the young man in a luxuriously decorated carriage was watching Han Deshu hurried away with only two of his followers, and his face looked bad, which made him unable to help but say, "Can even Han Changzhou let Sun Tu release someone?"
While thinking, the follower beside him pointed at a young man who had walked out and said, "Young Master, he is Sun Tu."
"Oh? Is he so young? He looks younger than me." The young man couldn't help but be more surprised when he saw Sun Tu.
When he was sighing, Sun Tu had already jumped on his horse and headed forward. Seeing this, the young man ordered: "Go, follow him and see where he is going."
"Young Master, don't you need to hand this letter into Kaifeng Mansion?" An entourage also held Zhang Moji Shangxin's letter in his hand and asked in confusion.
When the young man had just arrived at this time, he wanted to help Sun Tu, so he wrote a seal of things and wanted to send them to the yamen. However, as soon as the things were written, Sun Tu and the others came out one after another, which made his subordinates a little confused about what to do.
"Let me let it go first. This case doesn't seem to require me to take action. Sun Tu can solve it." The young man said with some satisfaction. If this is true, Sun Tu would be even more worthy of his attention.
At that moment, the carriage started again and followed Sun Tu from afar, but found that he had returned to Dongcheng and returned to the public security office. So, they actually ran back and forth, which was a waste of time.
When they stopped the carriage, Sun Tu had already dismounted and walked into the gate of the public security office. When he rushed to the subordinates who were guarding the door and crossed the high threshold, he felt quite emotional.
This public security office was established two months ago and was the only gain from the Changxingfang arson case. With Xue Yuanpeng's reply, Sun Tu finally was able to bring the twenty people under his command, plus the dozen disciples of Lu Zhishen, to the east of the city to set up this station.
The location of this public security office is on the edge of Liufangju. In fact, this two-entry courtyard was bought by Sun Tu and Tong Mu to find out the inside story of Liufangju. When Tong Mu was about to leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan to serve as an official in Jiangnan two months ago, he gave the entire courtyard to Sun Tu. After all, every inch of land in the capital is valuable, and it is not a small expense to find a good location to set up a resident.
Sun Tu did not refuse the kindness of Fang, so he stationed here. After two months of hard work, the people in the east of the city finally had a sense of identity with public security. He believed that after this incident, the prestige in the hearts of the people in the public security will be improved again!
"Du Tou." Seeing him coming back, Shen Liang and others quickly came out to greet him, and looked at him with some concern: "What did the prefect give orders?" Even Lu Zhishen looked solemn: "Sanlang, the Sa family has made a lot of effort. Don't tell me that I can only admit defeat."
"Brother Lu, don't worry, since I, Sun Tu, want to accomplish something, there is no reason to give up halfway. Soon, this case will be concluded, and we can also give the people in the east of the city a satisfactory explanation." Sun Tu then told the matter in the yamen, and everyone was shocked and cheered again!
When the cheers came out and the young man in the carriage heard it, he also smiled: "It seems that Sun Tu did not disappoint me. Since that's the case, let's go back now."
