Lu Ziming was originally very angry, thinking that the man would be as respectful to him as the first officer, but who knew that he would actually say that it was stolen, huh!
"Are you also blind? Can't you tell the difference between the new and old tokens?"
The colonel looked aggrieved. How could he not tell the difference? He had wanted to tell it when they were about to enter the city for the second time, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he let it go.
"Sir, this, this young man's surname is Lu..." I have explained it so clearly, you should understand, right?
"Whoever is surnamed Lu or Ma forged the city defense commander's badge and broke into the city gate twice? Arrest these people!"
Wu Songjin handled his business impartially and had long been aware of this group of people and was angry at them. What's more, the young master of the Xu family was among them. If it weren't for their family, his third sister wouldn't be wandering around now, her life or death unknown.
Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Master Feng tried to run away on his horse, but he didn't expect the noise at the city gate was so loud that it attracted the Jingzhao soldiers who were patrolling the streets. They were attacked from both sides and were soon tied up like dumplings.
"Brothers, brothers, stop... stop, stop, stop!" Master Feng's servants were still trying their best to resist the Jingzhao soldiers for their master, but they were no match for them. Finally, they were sent to the Jingzhao prison, waiting to be tried in court tomorrow.
"It's all your fault! You had to get angry with a city guard. Now look how your father will deal with you when he gets back!" Master Feng cursed at Lu Ziming in the nearby cell through the fence.
Although the fathers of these people would definitely not stand idly by, but if they were in the hands of a thick-skinned man like Shen Yue, even if they were willing to let them go, they would lose face. Would their families be able to forgive them?
Lu Ziming didn't dare to argue with Master Feng. He could only shrink into the corner and mutter to himself, "That's all Master Xu's fault. Where did he get that fake token..."
Xu Yiwen was locked in the same room with Master Feng. He was also deflated at this time. Anyway, his goal had been achieved, so it didn't matter how he was scolded.
"Oh! Brother Feng, I'm so sorry. I'll return the knife to you when we get out. I shouldn't have gambled with you."
"Who cares about the knife? Where did you get this token? When someone comes to visit, how are you going to explain it?"
"I really found it. I just wanted to try it out, so I made this bet with you. Actually, it's all Wu Songjin's fault. You know about our two families. He deliberately detained us to avenge his sister. Otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out like this!"
Master Feng was silent. It was hard to say. The feud between Wu Songjin and the Xu family was one thing, but even if there was more hatred, he would not bring up the crime of forging the token.
Perhaps the token was actually an old one discarded by the City Defense Bureau, and somehow it ended up in Xu Yiwen's hands. Could it be that Xu Yiwen, wanting to vent his anger on his sister, orchestrated this incident, wanting the City Defense Bureau to be held accountable for losing the token and neglecting their duties?
Damn Xu Yiwen, your sister’s revenge is revenge, but our lives are not lives, right!
The group of people were still sighing and groaning with their heads bowed. Before dawn, they heard the sound of loosening chains at the distant prison gate. I wondered whose father had arrived first. Several people looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with hope and fear. They hoped that it was their family who came to rescue them, but they also feared the punishment that would follow.
But after just a quick glance, everyone quickly lowered their heads once they saw who was coming. Oh no, how come these four came together!
"Oh, Master Shen, I'm so sorry. My son was ignorant and caused such a big mess. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
"Yes, Master Shen, you see, this almost ruined our relationship. I will definitely give this brat a good beating when I get back!"
Chen Yue walked in front, followed by three fathers: Feng, Xu, and Lu.
Young Master Guo's father was not in Kyoto, so the person who came was a distant relative of the Guo family in Beijing. He was not an official at all. Today, he was inexplicably woken up by someone knocking on the door and brought here. He was very sensible and did not say a word, but followed the adults.
Chen Yue had an unhappy look on his face. An hour ago, he received a report that someone had violated the order and forced his way into the city gate. He was so frightened that he quickly got up to report to the emperor. However, after asking around, he found out that it was these shameless guys who made the noise. He was furious.
So he took out his bad temper on the head of the family, and went to the four mansions at night to call over several masters, and brought them to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison to teach them a lesson!
It was Shen Yue who was wrong. If any other adult were to handle this matter, no one would dare to act so unkindly, but it happened to be Shen. No matter how unwilling the others were, they could only humble themselves and condescend to come to this dank prison with a smile on their faces.
"Open the door." Chen Yue ignored the apologies of the adults and asked the jailer to open the cell door with a stern face.
However, the young master and servants inside did not dare to come out after seeing this scene. They could only lower their heads and look gloomy, waiting for the master's orders.
"Feng Tangsheng! You're dead in there! Get out of here right now!" Lord Feng was furious when he saw his son's dejected face. What the hell is going on?
"Oh!" Feng Tangsheng trembled, but still walked out of the prison door with his head held high and stood beside his father, not daring to breathe.
“You are dumb, why don’t you quickly thank Uncle Shen!”
“Yes, yes, thank you Uncle Shen, thank you Uncle Shen!”
"Forget it, this is official business, you should call me Lord Shen." Shen Yue didn't even raise his head. With your attitude of admitting your mistakes, it would be considered light if I don't give you twenty more strokes of the cane.
"Yes, thank you, Master Shen."
Lord Feng came out as soon as he saw his son. As for those servants, they didn't stop the young master from making trouble. They should be beaten to death. Who cares what they do?
"Master Shen, then, I will take him away?"
Chen Yue nodded slightly. The emperor would ask about this matter tomorrow. What he did could not be considered as partiality or abuse of power.
After getting Chen Yue's affirmation, Lord Feng carried Feng Tangsheng in one hand and walked out without looking back.
Feng Tangsheng left, and Lu Ziming was trembling. His father hadn't said a word since he came in, and his face was ashen. He was afraid that something was wrong. So he hurried out and said, "Dad... Lord Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you..."
"Master Shen, we will leave first."
"Hey! The people from the City Defense Department have said that this Mr. Lu is extremely respected and we dare not let him offend us. Our small temple cannot accommodate such a huge Buddha."
Chen Yue emphasized the word "Lu" very seriously, which was clearly a mockery of Lu Ziming's insistence on pretending to be a royal relative. Father Lu's heart was pounding, but he still held his breath and retreated respectfully.
The remaining Young Master Guo was also taken away by this distant relative. After all, he was not his biological father, so Chen Yue did not intend to embarrass them. Wait until the letter reaches Nanzhou and see if your father will rush to the capital to beat you to death overnight.
