That day, the prefect Cui brought his men to the city wall to supervise the battle.

I heard that Zhao Ce and his men won a great victory and defeated the main force of the rebels, he happily led his men down the city tower.

As soon as I returned to the government office, I saw Deng Fucheng escorting a man in soldier's costume back.

Priest Cui asked in confusion before he found out what happened in the West City Gate.

Deng Fucheng looked at him with a smirk and stood aside with fear.

Prefect Cui asked someone to take this work to the prison, question it carefully, and then looked at Deng Fucheng meaningfully.

Deng Fucheng was furrowed all over when he saw him, and he couldn't help begging for mercy and said, "Master, it's a dereliction of duty..."

"It's just that after receiving Mrs. Zhao's request for help, the Xiaguan had already visited the patrol in person."

"If something like this happened, the official didn't want it."

Priest Cui withdrew his eyes and listened to Deng Fucheng's words to seek credit for him in secret, and said in a faint tone: "So, was this thief captured by Mrs. Zhao?"

Deng Fucheng quickly said, "Yes."

"That day, the lower officials were in charge of the government office. Mrs. Zhao hurried to the door with two servants to explain the matter to the lower officials."

"Although she wasn't sure whether this would happen at the time, the Xiaguan still decided to go over and take a look."

"After the officials arrived, I saw several families gathered at the city gate."

"Fortunately, the officials went there in time, so they stopped the movements of several people and saved the city gate."

"As for the later thief, the officials were not careful for a while. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao was present, otherwise the fruit would be unimaginable!"

After the city gate opened, Deng Fucheng naturally knew what was happening outside.

No wonder Zhao Ce, who entered the city gate first, had a fierce look on his face. He had just fought outside the city.

If the city gate was opened at that time, even if there were not many rebels coming in, they would suffer one after another!

And the first person to be affected is him, the official in official uniform!

When Deng Fucheng thought of it, he was a little scared.

After asking about this, Priest Cui pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Did you see all the families at the city gate clearly?"

Deng Fucheng's heart skipped a beat and laughed apologized: "Sir, this..."

"These people said that they were just bored at home and went for a walk nearby..."

Priest Cui glanced at him and said seriously: "What happened this time was at the city gate. Except for ours, everyone brought by Mrs. Zhao had seen it."

"Those defenders must be dealt with by military law, and you have some dereliction of duty. Do you think I want to deal with you?"

Deng Fucheng was sad and thought that he had just said so much and emphasized his contributions so much, but it was still not possible.

Deng Fucheng could only say with a bitter face: "Save me!"

Priest Cui said, "Since you want to save you, what else do you have to protect?"

"This detailed work is to be handed over to the garrison, and the people of the whole city will know about it."

"What's more, Mrs. Zhao captured it himself. With Zhao Yishi's reputation, this matter will definitely be sung by everyone."

"Can you keep the intensive investigations from the people like this?"

"If you don't want to say anything else, you can stop Zhao Yishi's classmates?"

After hearing his analysis, Deng Fucheng immediately knew that he could not hide it.

After all, this thief was captured by Mrs. Zhao, a weak woman. Mrs. Zhao had just made great contributions and would be spread out by then. It is conceivable what kind of sensation it would cause.

Although he had accepted such a large bag of silver as Mr. Liu, he had no choice.

After all, compared to protecting those people, he certainly has to protect his official hat.

Deng Fucheng frowned and said, "Sir, the official knows that he is wrong."

Priest Cui stood up and said, "I have a lot of things to do, so I will leave the affairs of these families to you."

"If you want to protect yourself or those families, you will choose your own choice."

"This is what I say."

After the prefect Cui finished speaking, he hurriedly left with his hands behind his back.

Now that the city is just beginning to settle down, there are still many uncertain factors hidden in the city, and he still has a lot of things to do.

The words of the prefect Cui made Deng Fucheng subconsciously grit his teeth.

In this way, even if these families really only appeared there by chance, they could not escape this punishment...

Deng Fucheng sighed, then sang: "Come here!"

......

In the Lv Mansion, Mr. Lu hurried to the gate.

Looking at the yamen officer at the door, Mr. Lu asked in horror: "Why are the messengers here? Please come into the house and have some tea..."

That day, when he saw that Deng Fucheng arrived at the West City Gate, he quickly took his son away.

So later he didn't know about opening the city gate in detail.

These yamen were sent by Deng Fucheng, and the leader said: "Mr. Lu, our Lord Deng was ordered to investigate the city and do something in detail. The people from the Liu family confessed that your family would have a part to meet with him at the city gate that day."

"Is there any such thing?"

A detailed work in the city?

Mr. Lu's heart tightened and quickly denied, "I, my family has indeed received the news, but our family did not appear at the gate of the city. We just sent servants to buy some food. We have never been to the West City Gate."

The ya almost nodded and said, "So that's it."

"Because the Liu family confessed that you were, the lord asked me to come to investigate. It would be fine if there was no."

"The family members of those families who appeared at the city gate that day have been punished in the court."

Mr. Lu took out a purse in fear and sent away several people with apologies.

After the door was closed again, Mr. Lu covered his heart and kept exhaling.

“Luckily my son stopped me…”

Mr. Lu murmured and walked quickly to his study.

Mr. Lu was reading in the study, and the white paper on the table also wrote the poem written by Zhao Ce at the poetry meeting that day.

When he is lazy in his study, he will look at the poems written by Zhao Ce, and immediately cheer up and continue to work hard.

Mr. Lu didn't say hello, and pushed the door straight in, which shocked him.

Young Master Lu put down the book in his hand and asked, "Dad, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Mr. Lu looked at his son and stammered: "Son, something happened outside..."

Young Master Lu stood up and said, "What's the matter?"

Mr. Lu walked in his room for two steps before he said, "The yamen service has just arrived."

"Everyone who went to the West City Gate that day was arrested and is now being tried in court!"

"The Liu family members directly offered us!"

Young Master Lu was shocked and said, "Then, what should I do?"

Mr. Lu comforted: "It's okay, my father has settled it."

"Fortunately you stopped being a father that day and told us not to go out."

"Otherwise, those who are being tried in court now will have to add us!"

His son is a scholar. If he was punished in court, he would not have to read this book!

Mr. Lu slapped his head and said, "Son, your classmate, named Zhao Ce, what do he like?"
