In the past, Cheng Wanli was really the only one in Dongping City. Not to mention soldiers like Pang Xu, even the chief supervisor Dong Ping was three points shorter in front of him. No one dared to talk to him with such an attitude.

But today, Sun Tu seemed so natural to do all this, which only made him feel scared, but he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction. His eyes were even patrolling Sun Tu and several soldiers.

Sun Tu didn't mean to hide it. When he heard his question, he sneered: "Premier Cheng, you won't be so forgetful, right? I asked you, you used to capture Dong Ping, the chief supervisor of our mansion for no reason, and today you are eager to open the city gate for the Liangshan bandits. What is your intention? Did you collude with the bandits early in the morning and want to give out the entire Dongping Mansion?"

This immediately made Cheng Wanli very anxious and shouted loudly: "Sun Dujian, don't swear by others! As a court official, how could I collude with the bandits!"

"Then why do you know that Dong Ping is the key to defending the city, but you will suddenly detain him when there are strong enemies outside?" Sun Tu took a step forward, stared at the other party's eyes and asked, "Also, there are many soldiers who can prove it now. It is because your prefect Cheng kept urging you to do so. What do you have to say about this?"

"I..." Cheng Wanli was very anxious, but he spoke for a moment. Because the reason was too shameful, even at this time, he still didn't want to make it public. After hesitating for a while, he could only say: "Everything I did is for my peace and stability in the East and the lessons of the saints. If I really colluded with the Liangshan bandits, it would not fall into their hands and become hostages."

"This is hard to say." Sun Tu also saw that he seemed to have a hidden secret, but he still pressed step by step: "Who knows if this is a bitter plan you conspired with the Liangshan bandits? Cheng Wanli, if you can't give me an explanation, it only means that there is indeed a ghost in your heart. In case of precaution, I can only take you down!"

"You dare, I am the imperial court's official..."

"Dong Ping is also an official in the court, and he is also responsible for the safety of Dongping Prefecture. Are you still not taking anyone? The person is here--" Sun Tu saw that he still refused to tell the truth, so he decided to use some means. At that moment, two personal soldiers stepped forward and wanted to take Prefect Cheng. The servants around him were already scared and silent since then, and did not dare to do anything, for fear that they would be implicated.

"You dare... you are so brave, you dare to attack me..." Just as Cheng Wanli struggled to get rid of it, a low shout suddenly came from the yard outside: "Slow down!" Then, two figures, one tall and one short, quickly walked to the front of the hall. Everyone looked back. Pang Xu and Dong Jian were stunned and shouted in surprise: "Main, you are back..." Cheng Wanli, who was struggling, changed his face and stared at the other person: "You..." for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

The one who came to look at Dong Ping who looked quite tired, and the weak woman who seemed a little timid around him was naturally Cheng Yue'e. At this time, the latter was looking at his father with worry and timid eyes, and after a while, he whispered: "Dad..."

After Sun Tu's eyes swept back and forth between the man and woman holding hands, and Cheng Wanli in front of them, he could guess some inside story: "Dong Ping, why were you ordered to be captured by Cheng Wanli? Now that I have this official here, I will definitely give you justice."

"I have met Sun Dujian. Thank you for leading the army to rescue me, so that I could save my people from Dongping." It was not until this time that Dong Ping let go of Cheng Yue'e's hand and walked forward to take a tribute. On the way here, he had heard people talk about the previous changes, which made him both scared and glad. If Sun Tu had not led his troops to come in time, Dongping would have been destroyed, and he would have been afraid of the Liangshan bandits.

Sun Tu waved his hand: "Since I am the chief supervisor of Jingdong Road, I should lead my army to rescue him when attacked here, so there is no need to say such polite words. Now I just want to make a clear idea of ​​what is going on. If you have any grievances, you can tell me directly that I will definitely uphold justice for you!"

"I..." Dong Ping looked at Cheng Yue'e beside him with some embarrassment. Cheng Wanli was her father after all. At this time, he could not speak badly about her father in front of his sweetheart.

However, although Cheng Wanli's face turned pale at this time, since the incident had happened to everyone, he had nothing to hide. He said coldly: "Sun Dujian, let me tell you the truth. It was only because Dong Ping had lied to my daughter with a sweet word that I would arrest him in anger and imprison him!"

"Premier Cheng, this is even more incomprehensible to me. As the saying goes, a man should marry a woman should marry a woman. Dong Dujian is even more a handsome man. Even if he wants to marry a daughter, it is not considered a humiliation of your family. Why did you react so fiercely?" The matter was really related to Miss Cheng as if he had made a judgment, but Sun Tu still felt a little strange.

"My daughter is a married woman. He is really doing this..." Cheng Wanli's face turned red again with anger: "Even if my son-in-law has passed away for many years, my daughter of the Cheng family can only end up in one go. How can she live with other men again!" Cheng Taishou, who finally gave up, his body trembled when he said this.

This was indeed as painful as being slapped in the face in public. Cheng Wanli was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head. Sun Tu stood there in surprise and said softly after a while: "It was because of this little thing that almost caused the entire city of Dongping to fall?"

If it weren't for Cheng Wanli's personal admission and Dong Ping and the others did not object, Sun Tu would find it difficult to accept such a statement and explanation. Because in his opinion, this fact would be too incredible. An official would actually regard the reputation of such children as more important than anything else, or even higher than the safety of the city?

You should know that it is not the prevalent ethics and Neo-Confucianism that is popular in the world, constantly restricting women's various behaviors, treating them as puppet goods without thoughts, and can only be at the mercy of men. Now, the Song Dynasty, although its thoughts are not as open as the previous dynasty, the Tang Dynasty does not emphasize that women must end up in one go. Even now, the married daughter can take the initiative to file a divorce from her husband's family, and then after taking back her dowry, it can still be taken for granted by the world.

As for the widow's remarriage, there are many things. Even the royal family, the Zhao family, had such a move, and they were never laughed at by the people. How could it be a huge sin when he arrived at Cheng Wanli, and he could do such a wrong thing? In fact, it was not only Sun Tu, but the others present, including the servants of the Cheng family, who looked unbelievable at this time. In today's world, it may be popular with women who cannot marry again, but it is a bit horrible to the point of Cheng Taishou.

The reactions of the people made Cheng Wanli angry: "Sun Dujian, Dong Ping's behavior is too much, so I will take him down and ask for punishment. Even if I sue him to the court, I will say this. He is the one who is a bad person, so I must not spare him easily!"

Sun Tu, who had already come back to his senses, could only sigh: "But in my opinion, they were in love with each other, and the prefect was really a bit of a big deal."

"Dad, Dong Lang and I are sincere. He has never lied to me... My daughter is unfilial, but I have already swear to God that I must marry Dong Lang in this life." At this time, Cheng Yue'e had already plucked up the courage, and suddenly took a step forward and looked at her father and told her decision.

This made Cheng Wanli's face change again, and he pointed at his daughter and shouted: "You... are really outrageous. What kind of ecstasy soup he gave you? It made you so obsessed! My Cheng family's scholarly family has never remarried daughter for generations. Are you trying to shame your ancestors?"

These stern words were immediately shocked and wanted to say something about Cheng Yue'e. She was used to following her father's arrangements and accepting things. Now seeing her father so furious, she really dared not speak out again. Although Dong Ping was anxious, this matter had already happened because of him. She naturally shortened her head in front of Cheng Wan, and she didn't dare to speak out. In the end, she could only turn her eyes for help on Sun Tu.

Sun Tu did not disappoint him, and immediately spoke, "Cheng Wanli, if your ancestors of the Cheng family really had spirits in heaven, I am afraid that it would be you, not Miss Cheng, who would be shamed? She just had another lover after losing her husband, but what about you? Because of your own selfishness, you captured local military officers for no reason, and almost led to the fall of Dongping. No, Dongping Prefecture had been destroyed. If the official had not arrived in time, more people would have died because of you. How do you feel about the ancestors of the Cheng family view you? Who is the more wrong? Do you really don't know?"

These few words were like a wake-up call, which made Cheng Wanli's body shake again and again, and almost staggered to the ground. Cheng Yue'e was so scared that she quickly stepped forward to support him and said with a worried look: "Dad..." but she was immediately pushed away by him.

Before Sun Tu finished speaking, he continued, "And today you ordered the city gate to open the Liangshan bandits into the city. This crime is much greater than the second marriage! I think you made such a foolish decision to make up for the mistake of detaining Dong Dushu, which leads to weak city defense. But you made a bigger mistake to make up for the previous mistakes, and you made mistakes again and again, and you dare to talk about the reputation and integrity, which is really funny!"
