Under the accusation of the little widow thrusting and thrusting, the old villain of the Yan family couldn't help crying, and the whole family felt compassion. Even the Zhou Gongyin, who was sitting high, looked at Sun Tu with some embarrassment, and wanted to urge him, "Speak up and defend yourself, otherwise I really can't excuse you."

But as the defendant, Sun Tu, at this time, still looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. He just smiled slightly and kept looking at the woman and her family up and down, as if their clothes had some amazing features, which made him even ignore his own situation.

Until they finished speaking, the Zhou Gongyin finally coughed helplessly: "Mr. Yue, do you have anything to defend yourself?"

"Do you make excuses? In my opinion, Yan Ziliang deserves to die, and it is natural for me to kill him." Sun Tu finally spoke, but he was still so straightforward, but his expression became serious.

"Marty... Even if my husband offended you a little, he would not be guilty until he died..." The woman still looked sobbing and did not accuse him loudly, but this behavior alone made others feel a little dissatisfied with Sun Tu. In their opinion, he was completely bullying others with power.

"If he only offended this lord, I wouldn't have really convicted him of death, let alone killed him directly." Sun Tu looked at the other party and curled his lips: "But he did not obey our army's orders, broke into the military camp at will, and roared in front of this lord, drawing his sword toward him behind. With these two, this lord is enough to kill him with the military law!"

As he said that, without waiting for the others to react, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "What's more, he made a big mistake. His death was entirely caused by his own fault. Death is not worth cherishing!"

After being stared at by his substantial gaze, the woman who was already good at speaking was shocked and could not even speak. As for other young people, they could only cry. Seeing this, the prefect Zhou could only frown and said, "What do you say about this by the Marquis?"

However, Sun Tu did not answer his words, but continued to look at the woman: "Dare you ask Mrs. Yan, are you Yan Ziliang's original wife?"

This sentence was really strange, which made everyone stunned, but the woman's pretty face turned pale. After hesitating for a while, he said slowly: "The little woman is not the husband's first wife. I am just the re-string he married three years ago. But I am also respectful to my husband, and I am no different from other couples..."

"Why would you like to ask your wife, what kind of life do you do before marrying Yan Ziliang?" Sun Tu interrupted her statement and continued to ask.

As soon as these words were said, the woman's face turned paler and her weak body trembled. But after a moment of silence, she still answered truthfully: "I, the little woman was just a courtesan in Cuiyun Pavilion before..."

Even though I didn’t know that Cuiyun Pavilion was a famous brothel in Tokyo, I immediately understood her identity after hearing the term “Caigu”, and everyone immediately showed an ambiguous look. Then, some people looked at Sun Tu quite strangely. Even if the other party’s background is really bad, it is not an excuse for you to use to shirk her crimes, right?

However, Sun Tu ignored the strange gazes of everyone and nodded: "So, was the wife redeemed by Yan Ziliang from Cuiyun Pavilion? As far as I know, it is not an easy thing to redeem a courtesan, I am afraid it will cost a lot."

"This..." Although this woman had some knowledge and courage, how could her mind be Sun Tu's opponent in terms of mind? At this time, she was completely led by him and said in a daze: "My husband once said that she did spend thousands of stagnant money to marry me home..."

"Is that true? No wonder you couples have a deep affection. At this time, you were still so devoted to him and wanted to argue for him." Sun Tu said, and his eyes fell on the old and young people again: "Their clothes are arranged by your wife, right? I wonder how much does it cost to have the silver ring on the neck of these two children and the jade pendant on their waists?"

Everyone followed his words and looked at the two children who were still crying. Sure enough, although they were wearing mourning clothes, they still wore silver rings as thick as fingers on their heads and necks, and they could vaguely see a jade pendant on their waists. These are the usual outfits of wealthy children in the capital nowadays, so everyone didn't think it was in their hearts after seeing it, but now...

If Sun Tu just asked about the woman that her origin was still only a few people like Zhou Fu Yin could guess his intention, then more than half of them have woken up, and the sympathy and pity in his eyes had turned into suspicion. Even the woman herself quickly understood after her body was shocked, and her expression became nervous: "These are all bought by my deceased husband for them, but the little woman is not very clear." She couldn't explain it clearly at once.

Sun Tu smiled, nodded again, and did not continue to ask her, but changed her question and said, "You don't know this, then you always know the monthly income accounts of two grain stores, a pawn shop and a Chengqi store in your family, right? Also, your Yan family has three houses in Tokyo and more than 200 acres of fertile land outside the city. You should always know the value of these things, right? But you don't know how much these things are worth together?"

"What..." After hearing his report on this series of industries, someone finally couldn't help but exclaim. If these things were all added together, they would probably not have tens of thousands of yuan in property, but they would be richer than the property of ordinary high-ranking officials in the court.

The woman's face turned pale at this time, and she stared at Sun Tu in fear, her delicate body trembled violently, but she couldn't even say a word. Sun Tu still looked casual and looked at Zhou Gonggong: "Zhou Gonggong, I wonder if you have saved up such a large family business until now as an official?"

"No, never." Zhou Gongyin immediately denied. Not to mention that he really does not have such a wealthy family property, even if he has it, he has to say that he has no.

"That's strange. You are already a few officials in the court, with a fourth rank, and you have a lot of salary subsidies every year. You can't compare to a small commander of an imperial guard? And as far as I know, the Yan family has never had any wealthy family business before, and they only inherited the quota of an imperial guard. In just a few years, Yan Ziliang was able to spend a lot of money to redeem the courtesan and buy such a large property. This is too strange."

Sun Tu's tone was very calm, but it was like a thunderstorm when it hit others' ears. Everyone looked at him with panic. What is this Yue Hou trying to do? Is this torture of prison?

In fact, everyone in the officialdom doesn’t know that nowadays, no matter the civil and military, they are trying their best to get money into their pockets? After all, this is the world. If anyone is not greedy, it will be difficult to become an official. Everyone has heard of some things in the imperial guards. Some military generals took advantage of their power to greed for military pay, but ignored the lives and death of the soldiers under their command, which made many soldiers have to escape from the military camp and go out to make a living. Then they can open their empty space and drink soldiers’ blood...

This series of internal stories is actually well known to everyone in the court, but no one is willing to say it. This is not only because everyone is not clean, but also because this matter is too wide and it is a high-voltage line that no one dares to touch. Therefore, over the years, the imperial guards have become increasingly corrupt, but no one dares to point out the problems. Everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb!

And now, Sun Tu, he actually picked up the matter in the court of Kaifeng government office. It was like smashing a big stone into a cesspool. The splashing was so filthy that it was so terrifying, but it was too scary to avoid it!

Sun Tu smiled at the woman who was completely scared: "Why can your husband Yan Ziliang have so much money? This marquis has already investigated, and the matter will be revealed soon. And the reason why he was beheaded by me was also here. But I wonder if Mrs. Yan, do you want to continue suing me?"

"I...I..." The woman was completely speechless, but looked at Sun Tu with a sad face, and then looked at the Zhou Gongyin above, with begging in her eyes. She was not stupid, and of course she knew what would happen if she really wanted to find out.

Even the prefect Zhou was panicked: "Marquis Yue, this matter is not something to be joked about. Moreover, it is related to the internal information of the imperial guards, and it is not something that I can do in Kaifeng Prefecture. I hope Marquis Yue will give up his hands..." In panic, he begged for forgiveness directly.

Sun Tu grinned at him, revealing his white teeth: "Isn't Kaifeng Mansion dealing with one thing in the imperial guards? Since the two cases are connected, we will not bother the two masters in one matter, and this matter must be settled by your Kaifeng Mansion. Don't worry, since this marquis is related to both cases, I will cooperate with you!"

The face of the Zhou Fuyin was so dark that it could be compared with the ink. Only then did he know how big a mistake he had made. The reason why he took this case before was only due to the face of Taiwei Gao, and he thought that Sun Tu had no power in his hands and was not afraid of offending him. But until now, he truly understood the other party's terror. This man was completely a lunatic who did not abide by the rules of the officialdom. Now he had to pull himself into a spiral that was enemies with everyone.

Yes, Sun Tu is indeed not familiar with the rules and methods in the officialdom, so he encountered a lot of trouble before. Anyway, it is difficult to solve the problem by following the right path. However, he has never been a ruler. Since the rules here are extremely unfavorable to me, I will break the rules! Since your card table has become a restrictive existence, I will overturn the table. Let's see what else can you do to me!

Sun Tu had already stood up and looked at the Zhou Gonggong deeply: "Master Zhou, it's important. Please don't refuse to delay the delay. I will use this as a breakthrough to investigate the fact that my Hu Ben army's food and salary has not been in place in the past few years. Don't let me down..."
