Chapter 519 Idlers and solicitation
Chen Cang, who was full of horror, was pushed into the hall. After kneeling on the ground, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master, please spare your life, villain... he was forced to do something like this for a moment..."
Sun Tu looked down at this person with a condescending feeling that you had fallen down before I could use force. Before he could even ask, Chen Cang pleaded guilty and explained. Obviously, he knew very well how much he had caused this time, and he didn't have the courage to deny it in front of the government, so he simply confessed truthfully as soon as he met.
Of course, this is also a good thing for Sun Tu. At least he could spend a lot of time and ask straight to the point: "Then let's tell everything you know truthfully. Why did you slander Tai Shou Cheng? And, how did you know that the manager Dong Dushou had something to do with Miss Cheng?"
"Little man, the villain actually didn't know about this. It was Yu Baosi who found me and asked the villain to expose it to the prefect. In fact, the villain also knew that this matter was of great importance and did not want to do what he wanted at that time. However... they threatened the villain's life, so I had to submit. But the villain really didn't know that the matter would be so serious. If he knew that Dongping City would be destroyed, many villagers would be harmed by the Liangshan bandits. Even if he died, the villain would not dare to do such a thing. It was the general clerk, the villain knew his mistake..." As he said that, he even cried and looked regretful.
Sun Tu continued to stare at him and thoughtfully said, "You said Yu Baosi? What is his relationship with you? Why did he choose you?"
"Yu Baosin is a villain. A few days ago, he came to Dongping to settle down and asked villain for help. At that time, I had no idea that he had already gone to Liangshan to fall into trouble early in the morning, so I had some contact with him. But he didn't expect that he would threaten me with my relatives in his hometown and asked me to tell the prefect that the fact that the general manager of Dong Dushen and Miss Cheng had a private relationship. The villain also knew that he wanted to kill someone with a knife, but I really didn't dare to refuse him, otherwise my wife and little boy would be completely finished." Chen Cang continued to explain with regret, looking at it, it was really above the seven emotions, which seemed particularly convincing.
"According to what you said, it's understandable that you did this?" Sun Tu asked in a calm tone.
"No, I don't dare." Chen Cang looked at Sun Tu carefully, but he didn't dare to climb along the pole, and he still looked regretful and guilty.
"Hmph, even if you have thousands of reasons, Dongping is almost in the hands of a thief now, and hundreds of innocent people die because of you, your sins cannot be described as serious. Now I say that you are colluding with the Liangshan bandits and the bandits inside and outside, it is not an exaggeration, right?" Sun Tu stared at him coldly: "Do you know how the court will deal with you if these crimes are implemented?"
When Chen Cang heard this, he trembled all over like a whisper, and his voice trembled even more: "Master, please spare me, villain, villain really has no choice..."
"Did you really have no choice? No, you actually have a better choice. As long as you know Yu Baosi's identity and report it to Cheng Taishou or Dong Dujian in time, not only can this matter be avoided, but you can also turn around and make plans. But because of your own selfishness, you chose to be accomplice for the tiger. So it is not unfair to say that you are colluding with the thieves! With this alone, killing you is more than enough."
Listening to his rebuttal, Chen Cang was so scared that he would beg for mercy there. After seeing the bleeding on his forehead, Sun Tu changed the subject: "But I also know that you have your own difficulties, so I want to give you a chance to redeem your sins. If you can accomplish this, all your previous actions can be written off!"
Chen Cang immediately stopped when he heard this, and quickly raised his head to look at Sun Tu: "The villain should follow the command of the capital supervisor..." In fact, he also guessed that Sun Tu was willing to take time to see him and said so many things. In addition to trying to figure out the whole story, he should also use his own place. So although he looked frightened and embarrassed just now, he was actually quite confident.
Sun Tu waved his hand to him and asked him to come forward, and then he gave a few instructions in a low voice. But just these words made Chen Cang, who was already a little calm, look flustered again: "Little... the villain dare not, the villain does not have this ability..."
"This is your only chance to save your life. If you can't do it, then the official will not have to keep you, a sinner." Sun Tu did not give him a chance to explain, and immediately said with a stern face: "Now you have only two choices, either be convicted and executed, or just do what I said."
Faced with Sun Tu's straightforward and tough statement, Chen Cang had to accept his fate even though he was confused. After a moment, he nodded in panic and said, "It's just that villain will receive the order..."
"Very good. I will arrange for you to leave Dongping tomorrow. As for how to explain it to others, it depends on your own ability. Also, write down your identity and the purpose of your trip first, and sign and write. I think this will never make you, the staff member in front of the prefect, right?" Sun Tu said as he waved his hand, someone brought up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
At this point, even if Chen Cang had many concerns, he could only obey orders. He quickly left the relevant documents on the paper, signed his name, and left his fingerprints. It was not until he put away the documents that Sun Tu ordered someone to take him down to rest. It was not until this time that Dong Ping, who was holding back his anger, said: "Sun Dujian, the general always felt that there was something untrue in his words, and this person should have something to hide."
"That's of course. As I said before, if Yu Baosi used his family's safety as a threat, would Chen Cang make such a bold decision? He wouldn't be afraid that the government would convict him after the matter was leaked, and would it also involve his family? Moreover, as long as you know the conspiracy of the Liangshan bandits in the morning and make targeted arrangements, you will win this battle. Will the government ignore his and his family's lives at that time?" Sun Tu had actually seen the problem a long time ago, but it didn't point it out: "So I can be sure that he must have another handle on his hands. If this matter cannot be known to the government, he has to take a risk."
"Then you still use him to do such a big thing..." Dong Ping said with some unacceptable help.
Sun Tu smiled, "Did this person have done something wrong? What is the problem of having a handle at the hands of the Liangshan bandits? I used him just because he happened to be a suitable candidate, and even if he failed, it would not be a loss for me. Moreover, I believe that in order to save his life, he will do his best to do his best to do things well. Judging from his ability to gain Cheng Wanli's trust soon, he should have some means and abilities. As long as he uses the right place, he may really be able to achieve great achievements."
Although he still couldn't understand Sun Tu's arrangement, Dong Ping did not raise any objections, but just lowered his head and said yes.
Sun Tu looked at the young general in front of him who was only a few years older than him and seemed heroic. Not only was this man of martial arts, but he was also very smart. Most people might not be able to see Chen Cang's thoughts just now, but they could not escape Dong Ping's eyes. In addition, he has always been loyal to his duties and is considered a rare general who is willing to train troops among the generals of Shandong prefectures, which made Sun Tu feel loving and recruiting talents.
Without too many temptations and false conspiracies, Sun Tu immediately said, "Does Dong Dushen intend to go to Qingzhou with me?"
"Ah..." Dong Ping was stunned, and then felt a little embarrassed: "It is a privilege to be the subordinate to be respected so much by Sun Tujian. But after all, I am the Dongping Tujian conferred by the court. Can't you leave your post without permission, right?"
Sun Tu heard two meanings from his words. The first is that he had to obey the orders of the court, and the second was his official position. He was the chief supervisor of the entire palace, so he could not go to Qingzhou to be a commander or a marquis of Yu, right?
Sun Tu didn't feel offended this and smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about this. I am now the Chief of Military Control Commission of Jingdong Road. I will transfer you to Qingzhou to my power. In addition, since I was promoted to Chief of the Chief of the Main Road by the court, I have been serving as Chief of the Qingzhou Chief of the Main Road. But this is a bit inappropriate and will cause gossip from some people, so I want to ask Chief of the Main Road to take over the position of Chief of the Qingzhou Chief of the Main Road. I wonder what you are thinking?"
Dong Ping opened his mouth wide at that time, looking disbelief.
Qingzhou Chief Superintendent is the most powerful official position among the military officers in the prefectures in Shandong. It is the position that almost every Shandong military officer dreams of. Will Sun Tu actually put such an important position himself?
Then, he hesitated and said, "Why can you dare to take this important position with a humble position? Aren't there always many generals around the city's supervisor who have been trusting?"
Sun Tu shook his head gently: "They have made many contributions and have always been loyal to me, but sometimes people are not only here, but also whether this person can bear such a heavy responsibility." After the previous incidents, Sun Tu has already realized that the brothers under him have their own shortcomings and it is difficult to stand alone.
Although Qi Desheng, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi can train and use troops, they have always been limited by the court's style of valuing civil and suppressing military affairs. When encountering problems, they are always unable to let go and are restricted by others. Wu Song, Lu Da and others are brave enough, but their ability to lead troops is seriously insufficient. After all, they are just martial artists.
It can be said that no one in the Qingzhou army can be the backbone of the entire army except Sun Tu. And he will not be trapped in the Qingzhou army next time, so he must find a suitable successor, and Dong Ping is undoubtedly the right candidate.
Sun Tu said this to this point. How could Dong Ping not be polite? He immediately fell on one knee and said seriously: "I am willing to obey the arrangements of Sun Dujian. I will do my best to do my job in the future and I will never neglect the slightest."
