Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang and his party stopped on the way to Tongzhou, called Weixu and said, "My father has a letter here, take it back to your mother, and then wait for my father to return in Beijing."

Wei Xu took the letter and said, "Father, the child will go to Tongzhou with the father, please make it perfect."

Defang looked at the eldest son and asked, "Aren't you afraid that something will happen again?"

"With the father and king around, the child is not afraid of anything," Wei Xu said

Defang smiled and nodded, "Let the imperial guards send the letter back to the mansion."

"Yes" Wei Xu called a Imperial Guard to deliver the letter and bring it back.

A group of people continued to go to the same state.

It was evening when we arrived in Tongzhou, and the city gate was closed. Defang and his party called the gate at the bottom of the city. The guards asked down, "The city gate is closed. Who is coming?"

Jia Jun shouted, "His Royal Highness Baxian Wang is here, open the city gate quickly!"

The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other, and hurried to inform the guard, who sent someone to inform the magistrate, and opened the city gate by himself. Unexpectedly, as soon as the city gate was opened, a man told him to "close the city gate!"

When Defang turned her head, she saw a person coming with a dozen yamen servants. The person looked at Defang and his party without saying a word, and went straight to the guard, "Closing the city gate soon!"

"Bold! The prince is here, dare to close the city gate, and still not let it open!" Jia Jun shouted

The person came to Defang's horse and asked, "Eight Sage Kings? I have never received a letter from Beijing to send the prince here."

"Bold!" Jiajun shouted, but was stopped by Defang, who looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Qian Ruoshui, the inspector of the same state. At this time, the gate of the city is closed, and no one, including the officials, is allowed to enter or leave."

"Observing the pusher?" Defang said, "What are you doing outside the city as a pusher at night?"

"Catch the criminal!" Qian Ruoshui pointed at the arrested person

Defang looked at it, "Then you don't go to the city? How do you detain the criminal?"

"This is the rule of the same state. The city gate is closed and no one is allowed to enter. It is to ensure the stable life of the people in the city."

"If the city is really stable, why should it be so strict? Even officials are not allowed to enter?"

"Thieves and thieves have been rampant in the city of Tongzhou in recent years, and the evil officials have been conspiring with each other. I was transferred here to rectify this matter. That's why I suggested this to Lord Zhizhou. I believe this situation will improve soon."

Defang looked at Qian Ruoshui, thinking that there are quite a lot of things that a push official is in charge of, but he looks very courageous, so he said, "Master Qian, the lonely king does have the emperor's life on his body" and stretched out his hand to signal Chongming to take out the imperial edict, Qian Ruoshui took a look at the imperial decree, and immediately knelt down, "You should be damned if you offend the lord, please punish the lord!"

"Mr. Qian please, Sir, you handle things impartially. The lonely king admires it very much. However, rules are dead and people are alive. What's more, you are still escorting criminals yourself. If something happens, you will have to pay for it."

Qian Ruoshui got up and said, "What the lord said is very true, but the officials insist."

At this time, Wei Xu said, "You are really stubborn."

"Xu'er, don't be rude," Defang said

At this time, the city gate opened again, Zhizhou Buzhuo came out, saw Defang holding the imperial decree, and went forward to bow down, "Xiaguan Tongzhou Zhizhou Buzhuo kowtowed to the prince for thousands of years."

Defang got off his horse and said, "Master Bu, please, you, the money pusher, are really conscientious and almost locked the lonely king out of the city."

"My lord forgives the crime, the next official will definitely reprimand him," Bu Zhuo said.
