As they were talking, Xie Jingyan returned. Shen Wan still couldn't believe that Tang Ze had such audacity and asked, "Young Master Tang, did you really arrest his father and bring him to the city patrol?"
"Um."
"..."
"Isn't he afraid his father will beat him to death?" Shen Wan's voice was barely audible.
Xie Jingyan chuckled, "The Emperor heard about this during the morning court session and praised the three of them in front of all the civil and military officials. Even if he wanted to fight them, he couldn't."
"..."
"Master Tang knew that his son had been arrested by the city patrol, and he only returned home after the curfew. It is highly likely that he was tricked and used as a test for Tang Ze and his men."
"..."
"The scheming person didn't expect that Tang Zepan had been waiting for this day for a long time, and arrested his father without hesitation."
"..."
"The positions of the chief and deputy chief of the city patrol are now secure."
"..."
They're not just sitting still, they're practically welded to the patrol officer's chair.
They dared to arrest even their own father; who in the entire capital city wouldn't they dare to arrest?
Yesterday, the three princes, including Prince Yanping, patrolled the streets all day but found nothing. They were still full of energy and decided to continue their patrol at night.
There are fewer violations of laws and regulations during the day; the real trouble begins at night.
After having dinner at the city patrol office, the three of them went out into the streets full of energy. However, after nightfall, the once bustling streets were deserted, not to mention there wasn't even a cat in sight.
Just as he was regretting not going home and getting some sleep, he heard the sound of a carriage rolling.
I have to say they're pretty bold. They dare to go out on the street even though it's curfew, and the car wheels are making such a loud noise. Are they afraid the city patrol officers are deaf and can't hear them?
He immediately led his men to stop the carriage. As they rode over, they saw that the carriage driver looked very familiar, as if he were one of their own servants.
Just as Tang Ze was wondering if he was seeing things, the servant spoke up, "Young Master, it's me."
Tang Ze's eyes lit up when he saw the carriage. "My father is inside?"
The servant said, "Master is drunk."
Tang Ze was still worried, so he lifted the carriage curtain to take a look.
Sure enough, his father had fainted in the carriage.
He can't hold his liquor and yet he drank so much; he's really going to end up in his son's hands...
Pshaw, no!
It was because his father loved him dearly that he gave him some credit on his first day at the patrol station.
A father's deep love should not be betrayed.
Tang Ze decisively dismounted, bowed to the carriage, and said, "Father, I'm sorry. Without rules, there can be no order. This is my first day in the city patrol office, and I cannot bend the law for personal gain. Please forgive me."
"I'm sorry to trouble you to spend the night at the city patrol headquarters. I will inform my mother and have her go to the city patrol headquarters to retrieve you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Tang Ze waved his hand and said, "Take him to the city patrol office."
The Crown Prince of Yanping looked at him. "Are you serious?"
"Is that even a question?" Tang Ze looked at him and Lu Cheng. "If it were your father tonight, wouldn't you arrest him?"
Lu Cheng, "..."
Prince Yanping, “…”
The two men looked at the constables behind them. "What are you still standing there for? Take the people and the carriage to the city patrol office."
The constables looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had been working in the city patrol for many years and had seen many ruthless characters, but they had never seen anyone as ruthless as this.
This is his own father.
Is it possible to be so righteous as to turn down one's own family?
They had looked down on them before, thinking they were just a few pampered young masters from noble families who couldn't possibly endure the hardships of patrolling the city. Little did they know they had truly underestimated these gentlemen.
The constable immediately became extremely vigilant and stepped forward to persuade them, "It's late at night, no one will see us, and no one will know if we let you go."
"It won't work if nobody knows."
Are you kidding me? We've been waiting for this day for so many years, and you're letting him go?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially since they were recommended by Prince Ling to join the city patrol. If they were to show favoritism on their very first day and it got back to the Emperor, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Prince Ling?
If he loses his position as the patrol officer, his father will definitely beat him.
Arrest him and bring him to the city patrol office, or beat him up.
Since I'm going to get beaten up anyway, why do I even need to think about which option to choose?
"Stop dawdling, hurry up."
Seeing that Tang Ze was serious, the constables, along with Prince Yanping and Lu Cheng, did not try to dissuade him and led the carriage to the city patrol office. The servants were dumbfounded. "Young Master, are you serious? The Master will beat you to death."
Tang Ze behind him was grinning from ear to ear.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince of Yanping said, "Be more restrained."
When Tang Ze reached the vicinity of the Duke of Tan's mansion, he climbed over the wall to go back and tell the servant, and then continued his patrol.
He remembered to tell his mother so that she wouldn't worry and lose sleep if his father didn't return, but he forgot to ask for leave from the Duke of Tan's mansion. As a result, the Duke of Tan's mansion skipped court without reason.
The Duke of Tan's position is quite high up, and he rarely takes leave. Since he didn't come today, the Emperor asked him a question. The Right Chancellor replied, "Lord Tang did not ask for leave."
Since the man had not requested leave and had not attended court, the emperor asked, "Then why is no one here?"
A well-informed minister, suppressing a laugh, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Tang got drunk last night and only returned to his residence after curfew. He was caught red-handed by the city patrol and taken to the city patrol."
emperor,"……"
The officials were speechless.
The Left Prime Minister said in admiration, "When Prince Ling recommended the three of them, he said that he dared to arrest any of them, and I did not believe it. But facts have proved that what Prince Ling said was indeed true."
Even their own father has been arrested, so no one can shake their position in the city patrol. They might as well put it more politely.
The Emperor suppressed a laugh and said, "Disregarding personal feelings and upholding justice is truly commendable."
The attendants added, "But Lord Tang, as an official appointed by the imperial court, knowingly violated the law by still being on the street after the curfew, and should be severely punished as a warning to others."
