In the past, Cheng Wanli really said everything in Dongping City, not to mention Pang Xu, these soldiers, even the capital supervisor Dong Ping was three points shorter in front of him, and no one dared to talk to him with such an attitude.

But today, Sun Tu did all this so naturally, it only made him feel frightened, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, and a pair of eyes were roaming back and forth on Sun Tu and several soldiers.

Sun Tu didn't mean to hide it, and when he heard his question, he sneered: "Cheng Taishou, you won't be so forgetful, right?" The official asked you, what is your intention in arresting Dong Ping, the capital supervisor of the prefecture for no reason, and today you are in a hurry to open the city gate for the Liangshan bandits? Didn't you collude with the thieves early on and want to sacrifice the entire Dongping Mansion? ”

These words immediately made Cheng Wanli anxious, and he hurriedly shouted: "Sun Dujian, don't spew blood!" As an official of the imperial court, how could this official collude with thieves! ”

"Then why did you know that Dong Ping was the key to defending the city, and you would suddenly detain him when there was a strong enemy outside?" Sun Tu took a step forward, stared at the other party's eyes and asked: "Also, now there are many soldiers who can testify, saying that the city gate will be opened today, and it is also because of your Cheng Taishou's continuous urging, what do you have to say about this?" ”

"I ......" Although Cheng Wanli was full of anxiety, he spoke again for a while. Because the reason is too unseemly, even at this time, he still doesn't want to make it public. After hesitating for a moment, he could only say: "Everything this official has done is for the sake of my peace and stability, and to live up to the lessons of the saints." If I really colluded with the Liangshan bandits, I wouldn't have fallen into their hands and become a hostage captive. ”

"It's hard to say." Sun Tu also saw that he seemed to have something unspeakable, but he still pressed forward step by step: "Who knows if this is a bitter plan that you conspired with the Liangshan thief?" Cheng Wanli, if you can't give this official an explanation, it can only mean that you do have a ghost in your heart, just in case, I can only take you down! ”

"You dare, I am an official of the imperial court......"

"Dong Ping is also an official of the imperial court, and he is even more concerned about the safety of Dongping Mansion, don't you still take people? Someone—" Seeing that he still refused to tell the truth, Sun Tu decided to use some means. At that moment, two pro-soldiers strode forward, wanting to hold Cheng Taishou, and the house servants around him were so frightened that they didn't dare to make any moves, for fear that they would also be affected.

"How dare you...... You are so bold, you dare to attack this official......" Just as Cheng Wanli was struggling to get rid of it, a low voice suddenly came from the courtyard outside: "Slow! Then, two figures, one tall and one short, walked quickly to the door of the hall, everyone looked back, Pang Xu and Dong Jian were stunned and shouted in surprise: "Eunuch, are you back......" and Cheng Wanli, who was struggling with himself, changed his face, and his eyes were fixed on the other person: "You ......" didn't know what to say for a while.

It was Dong Ping, who looked quite tired, who came, and the weak woman beside him who seemed a little timid was naturally Cheng Yue. At this time, the latter was looking at his father with worried and timid eyes, and only after a while did he whisper: "Daddy......"

After Sun Tu's gaze swept back and forth between the men and women holding hands, as well as Cheng Wanli in front of them, he had already vaguely guessed some inside information: "Dong Ping, why were you arrested by Cheng Wanli's order?" Now that this official is here, he will definitely give you justice. ”

"I have seen Sun Dujian in my humble position, and I am grateful to Sun Dujian for leading the army to rescue me, so that I can save the people of Dongping." It was only at this time that Dong Ping let go of Cheng Yue'e's hand and stepped forward to salute. On the way here, he had already heard people talk about all kinds of changes before, which made him afraid and happy, if Sun Tu hadn't led his troops to kill in time, I am afraid that this Dongping would have been ruined, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the poisonous hands of the Liangshan bandits.

Sun Tu waved his hand: "Since this official is the capital supervisor of Jingdong Road, he should lead the army to rescue this place when it is attacked, so Dong Du Jian doesn't need to say such polite words." Now I just want to find out what is going on, if you have any grievances, you can tell me directly, and this official 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, and at this time, she couldn't speak ill of her father in front of her sweetheart.

It was Cheng Wanli, although his face was pale at this time, but since everything had happened in front of everyone, he had nothing to hide, so he said coldly: "Sun Dujian, let the old man tell you the truth." It's only because of this Dong Ping that he actually deceived my daughter with clever words, that the official will arrest and detain him in a fit of anger! ”

"Cheng Taishou, this makes this official even more incomprehensible, as the so-called man should marry and the woman should marry, Dong Dujian is even more talented, even if you want to marry Ling Qianjin, it is not an insult to your lintel, why do you react so fiercely?" The matter was really related to Miss Cheng as much as she judged, but it still made Sun Tu feel a little strange.

"My daughter is a married woman, it's really ...... him to do this" Cheng Wanli was so angry that his face turned red again: "Even if my son-in-law has been dead for many years, my Cheng family daughter can only start from the beginning, how can she be reluctantly with other men!" Cheng Taishou, who finally let go, said this, and his body trembled a little.

This is indeed as painful for him as being slapped in the face in public, and Cheng Wanli is so ashamed that he can't raise his head. And Sun Tu stood there with a shocked face, and only said softly after a while: "Just because of this little thing, it almost caused the fall of the whole city of Dongping?" ”

If it weren't for Cheng Wanli's personal admit, and Dong Ping and the others did not object, Sun Tu would have found it difficult to accept such a statement and explanation. Because in his opinion, this fact is too incredible, an official would actually regard the honor of such a child more than anything else, even higher than the safety of the city?

You must know that it is not the Ming and Qing dynasties that etiquette and doctrine prevail in the world, constantly restricting women's behavior, and treating them as thoughtless puppet goods, which can only be at the mercy of men. Now it is the Great Song Dynasty, although the thinking is not as open as the previous Tang Dynasty, but it is not enough to emphasize that women must start from the beginning, and even today's married daughters can take the initiative to file for divorce from their husbands, and then after getting back their dowry, they can still be taken for granted by the world.

As for the widow's remarriage and other actions, even the old Zhao family of the royal family has such a move, and they have never been laughed at by the people, how come he Cheng Wanli, but it has become a big sin, and he can do such a wrong thing because of this? In fact, not only Sun Tu, but other people present, including those subordinates of the Cheng family, also couldn't believe it at this time. In today's world, advocating that women should not marry twice may still be sought after by some people, but to the point where Cheng Taishou is like this, it is a bit appalling.

Everyone's reaction made Cheng Wanli annoyed: "Sun Dujian, Dong Ping's approach is really too deceitful, and the old man will take him down for questioning." Even if it is to sue the court, I also say this, it is his bad name in front of him, and this official will never spare him! ”

Sun Tu, who had already come back to his senses, could only sigh lightly: "But in my opinion, the two of them are in love with each other, and they are too conservative to make a big fuss." ”

"Daddy, Dong Lang and I are sincere, he has never lied to me...... My daughter is not filial, but I have sworn to heaven that I must marry Dong Lang as my wife in this life. At this time, Cheng Yue'e had already mustered up her courage, and suddenly stepped forward and watched her father explain his decision.

This made Cheng Wanli's face change again, and he pointed at his daughter and shouted, "You...... It really doesn't make sense, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into you, and he made you so obsessed! My Cheng family is a scholarly family, and the family has not remarried for several generations, are you trying to shame your ancestors? ”

Cheng Yue, after all, she was used to obeying her father's arrangement, and she was used to being obedient, and now seeing that her father was so angry, she really didn't dare to say anything disobedient again. And Dong Ping, although he was anxious, but this matter was caused by him, and he was naturally a head short in front of Cheng Wanli, so he didn't dare to speak out, and finally could only turn his attention to Sun Tu for help.

Sun Tu really didn't disappoint him, and immediately said: "Cheng Wanli, if your Cheng family's ancestor really has a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid it will only be you, not Miss Cheng, who will make them feel ashamed, right?" She's just another sweetheart after the loss of her husband, but what about you? But because of your own selfishness, you actually arrested the local military attache for no reason, and almost led to the fall of Dongping, no, Dongping Mansion has already been broken, if it weren't for the timely arrival of this official, more people will die because of you, how do you have a good conscience, how do you think the ancestors of the Cheng family will treat you? Don't you really know who is more at fault? ”

These words were like a slap in the face, and they directly hit Cheng Wanli's body and shook again and again, and he almost fell to the ground with a stumble. Frightened, Cheng Yue'e hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said worriedly: "Daddy......" but was immediately pushed away by him.

Before Sun Tu's words were finished, he continued: "And you actually ordered the city gate to be opened today and put the Liangshan thieves into the city, this sin is much greater than what second marriage!" I think the reason why you made such a stupid decision should be to make up for the mistake of detaining Dong Dujian and causing the city defense to be weakened. But you made up for your previous mistakes with a bigger mistake, and you made mistakes again and again, and you still dare to talk about the famous solar terms, which is really funny! ”

was ruthlessly exposed by Sun Tu, so that Cheng Wanli no longer had the aggressive momentum he had before, and the whole person stood there with his head hanging like a defeated rooster. It was only then that he finally understood how much of a mistake he had made, as Sun Tu said, compared to the big mistake he made, his daughter was nothing at all.
