Liu Da's Beiwei Army immediately escorted him and his entourage into Xiangcheng.
Inside the Xiangcheng government office, Shen Xu sat on the left side of the hall, while Mu Zi'an sat in the chief official's seat.
The rest of the civil and military officials stood in rows on both sides of the government office.
At this moment, the gates of the government office were wide open, and a large number of onlookers had already gathered outside.
Before everyone could figure out what Mu Zian was trying to do, a commotion broke out outside the door.
Then, Liu Da, still wearing his official robes, was brought in by Han Shizhong.
Kneel down!
Han Shizhong snorted coldly, and Liu Da's legs went weak, causing him to kneel on the ground.

Liu Da immediately spoke up as if he had seen a savior.

"Liu Da, the disgraced Prefect of Haoliang City, pays his respects to the Duke of Zhenguo!"
"It's all my fault for misjudging people and blindly believing Yao Fa's lies, which led to the loss of Haoliang City. I beg the Duke of Zhenguo to punish me!"
As he spoke, Liu Da knelt down on the ground, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
However, just as Liu Da finished speaking, a plump woman among the onlookers outside the door looked horrified, and upon hearing Liu Da's accusations, she became even more furious.
She was about to step forward to refute him, but was stopped by an old man standing to the side.
"Madam! Let's assess the situation first! Don't act rashly."
