Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"My government guesses that even if you are not officials, you are close relatives of some high-ranking official in the capital, otherwise you wouldn't feel humble when speaking in front of this prefect."

"Master Peng, it doesn't matter who we are, I just want to bring my wife back to Beijing earlier."

"Master Zhao, if you don't reveal your identities, I'm sorry I can't let you leave."

"Why?"

"If you are an official, then you are leaving your post without permission, and you should be punished. If you are a close relative of a high-ranking official, then there must be a reason for you to come to Jinzhou to cover up your identity with the excuse of looking for antiquities. A high-ranking official asked a close relative to come to Jinzhou so far away from Beijing. What you did must not be a trivial matter, as the prefect of Jinzhou, we must find out the purpose of your coming here."

"Mr. Peng's conjectures are all conjectures. I saved the bodyguard team and kept the court's official bank. I am a person of merit. Mr. Peng just said that we can leave, but now he breaks his promise. Why detain us?"

Peng Tianxian held up the jade pendant, "Just rely on this jade pendant! This jade is definitely not something that ordinary businessmen can wear. Just now, in a hurry, Master Zhao said that this government should be dismissed from office. From this point of view, you must have an official position, or Do you have any relatives who are important officials in the court, but even officials or their relatives dare not use bright yellow rope to weave a dragon shape, unless you say it is a thing in the palace." How can you own it? Could it be that you, or your high-ranking relative, smuggled things from the palace, and then came to Jinzhou to sell the stolen goods while the thieves were in chaos?"

Defang was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect Peng Tianxian to be able to speculate. Hearing this, Tian Cheng suddenly pulled out his knife and pointed at Peng Tianxian, "Shut up! You are so brave! How dare you say that about my master!"

"Cheng'er! Put down the knife!" Defang shouted, "If Master Peng had not led the troops to suppress the bandits, my wife and I would have died in the hands of the bandits long ago. Master Peng even invited a doctor to treat my wife, otherwise you would not see us today." We are here!"

"Sir! But now he wants to detain us!"

Defang got up and pressed Tian Cheng's knife, looked at Peng Tianxian for a while and said, "Master Peng, it seems that if I don't reveal my identity, you will not only let us go, but also punish us?"

"This is for sure. With this jade pendant, it is absolutely right to condemn you, and whether you are officials or relatives of officials, you will not escape the guilt." Peng Tianxian looked at Defang and the three of them, "Even if you have high-ranking officials in Beijing With the support of the mountain, this government will also handle it impartially!"

"Master Peng is an upright person, and he saved me and my wife. I will not hide it anymore in this situation." Defang pointed to the jade pendant and said, "This jade is indeed Zhao's, and Zhao is not called Zhao." Yin."

Peng Tianxian frowned slightly and said, "Then what's your name? Who are you?"

"My surname is indeed Zhao, with a Chinese character of De, and the character on the jade pendant is my name."

Peng Tianxian looked at the jade pendant in his hand and repeated "Fang... Zhao... De... Zhao De..." After reading this, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at De Fang, "You... Your name is..."
