Chapter 52: In order to obtain evidence, the truth was revealed
Li Yaoguang stood in front of the desk. The clerk sitting behind the desk didn't even raise his eyelids. He asked, "Where are you from? What are you doing out of the city? How many people are there? When will you be back?"

Li Yaoguang did not hesitate and told the truth. She saw the other party raise his hand to write something on the low-quality yellow paper on the table, handed her a note and sent her to the open door of Jingzhao Mansion behind him.

He followed the flow of people holding tickets into the gate obediently, but was immediately separated by the yamen runners with knives. Li Yaoguang followed a dozen of them and walked to the left. Soon he arrived at a townhouse and saw a group of clerks again.

The other party acted as if everyone owed them eight million. He took their note with a cold face, then asked them again, but didn't give them any definite answer. He just said perfunctorily that they had handed in the note and waited for notification, and that was considered sending them off.

Li Yaoguang thought that the government office was not efficient, and then she saw the guy in front of her secretly giving money to the clerk. She paused, thinking, why not give some money to him too? Then she saw that there were many people doing the same, so Li Yaoguang rationally retracted her foot.

What a bribe she gave!

So many people bribed, and the other party knew who was who? And she was used to the modern country father's super efficient and selfless work, and when she saw what was in front of her, Li Yaoguang looked down on it.

And what about waiting for notification? It just sounds like a perfunctory gesture.

Since you don't give her the permission to be obedient and follow the rules, don't blame her for taking the wrong path.

When leaving the office building, Li Yaoguang took several deep looks at the places where some people had placed their seals. She looked as if she wanted to engrave them firmly in her mind.

After following the crowd and leaving through the left door of Jingzhao Prefecture, Li Yaoguang looked back and took a deep look at Jingzhao Prefecture as he stepped out, waiting for night.

Seeing that it was still early, Li Yaoguang simply went back to her own little house to take a nap. When it got dark, after filling her stomach at the market, she happened to meet a man selling pears. She bought a basket of persimmons from him, and then Li Yaoguang set off again.

The Jingzhao Prefecture government office was different from the basically empty mansions he had looted before. From what he had seen during the day, he knew there were quite a few people here, and even more were on patrol. Relying on the space as a backup, Li Yaoguang was still cautious and carefully chose a quiet corner to climb over the wall and enter.

He thought he could quickly find the place and get that little piece of evidence, but after he actually got in, Li Yaoguang realized that he was too naive.

The Jingzhao Prefecture government office covers a large area, and in order to avoid patrolling guards along the way, she did not dare to turn on the flashlight as she walked around in the huge government office. The more she walked, the more dizzy and miserable she felt.

Just when she couldn't find the place and was thinking about going back the way she came and climbing over the wall to the gate she had aimed at during the day, it would be easier. Suddenly, she heard steady and powerful footsteps in front of her.

At this moment, he was in front of a tall house, with a corridor on one side and a small square on the other side. There was nowhere to retreat. In a flash of thought, Li Yaoguang quickly retreated into the shadow of the angle between the corridor and the house, and then quickly flashed into the space.

She counted silently and estimated the time. About ten minutes had passed. She tentatively extended her tentacles again to confirm that the footsteps had stopped. Li Yaoguang quietly moved out of the shadows and was about to leave, but she found that the house behind her, which was pitch black just now, was now lit with light.

What is this? Could it be that the footsteps just now entered this room?
Well, it’s better to do it early, otherwise you’ll be finished if you’re discovered.

Li Yaoguang pressed his timid back against the cold wall of the corridor, preparing to leave quickly by rubbing against the other side of the corridor wall. But just as he raised his foot, a loud and angry accusation suddenly came from the candlelit room.

"Mr. Shen, you have a good plan. Don't think that I am afraid of you just because you are a third-rank old man!"

"Lord Liu, calm down. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure today."

"Oh, you have no choice? So your last resort is to drag my Jingzhao Prefecture, my prefect, into this water to take the blame for you? Screw your martial law in Jingdu! Screw your pass!

I just want to ask you, when do you need a pass from Jingzhao Prefecture to enter and exit Jingdu City? Who gave you the order? Ah, I just want to ask you, who gave you the order! General Shen, do you know that today, because of your son's words, Jingzhao Prefecture was caught off guard. It's fine that everyone is busy because of this, but everyone asked me for a pass from Jingzhao Prefecture..."

Damn it!

"How would I know what the hell a pass is? I want it! But do I have it? Ah? Where on earth can I get a pass for those people out there? Tell me!"

He is just an unlucky guy. It's bad enough that he was left behind by His Majesty and the court to guard the city, but he had to accompany such a scumbag. Knowing that the future is uncertain and he is in danger of death, he still has to endure this humiliation.

No matter how good-tempered Lord Liu was, he couldn't stop cursing his parents.

Inside the house, General Shen, who was being pointed at by Lord Liu, was furious and knew he was in the wrong.
Outside the house, someone who had already taken a step forward was startled when she heard that it was about the pass, and subconsciously took back her step;
Li Yaoguang looked back at the direction where the voice came from, her eyes full of struggle. In the end, the horror in the conversation overcame her inner fear. Li Yaoguang bit her lip, lay down decisively, and slowly crawled to the large window reflecting the lights. Looking at the light-transmitting gap above her head, she slowly, slowly poked her head out.

Through the crack in the window, Li Yaoguang could see clearly what was happening inside.

The room was large, but there were only three people: an old man in his fifties with gray hair, wearing a round-necked robe that was customary for his family;
A middle-aged general in his thirties, wearing golden armor, tall and straight, and with an extraordinary heroic appearance;
And the person next to them, who was being glared at angrily by the old man and pointed at by him, was who else but the young general in silver armor that they had seen at the city gate during the day?

Judging from the voice just now, the young general in silver armor is the son of General Shen.

Li Yaoguang was pondering secretly when he saw General Shen bowing solemnly to the Jingzhao prefect who was roaring angrily.

"It is indeed my fault for what happened today. I have dragged you down.

But Lord Liu, since you and I have been appointed by His Majesty to take charge of the defense of Kyoto, we should work together.

Besides, it is not my intention to embarrass Lord Liu today. The incident happened suddenly and I really had no choice. The one who tried to leave the city after the city gates were sealed was the grandson of the Lord. He was delayed in returning to Kyoto due to some matters, and the Lord's confidant who had been waiting for him for a long time wanted to take him south for a reunion.

Sir Liu, the cabinet minister is a close minister of our dynasty. How can my son not let the boy go when he is of such status and is holding the cabinet minister's tablet to escort him south? Sir Liu, please forgive me for the fact that we are colleagues and we are now defending the capital together to fight the enemy. "

"What's the big man? What big man? I think you, General Shen, are my big man! How dare I, a small prefect, talk about forgiveness with a general who commands a large army. Oh, so what if that kid is the grandson of the old man? So what if he holds the old man's tablet? Don't you have tablets? Are you not my right hand? Not a good minister?

This winter it snowed heavily and the Hu and Di peoples suffered a disaster. To save their lives, an army of 200,000 pressed on to the border and broke through our Yushan Pass. Your Majesty received an urgent report from 800 miles away and ordered General Yu of Yuanping Pass to lead the army eastward to stop them. However, you were distracted and Yuanping Pass was in danger. Under attack from both sides, Your Majesty did not think of a good strategy, but listened to slander and led the ministers of the harem to rush south, saying that they were praying to God. I guess they have already gone around Mount Tai and headed south to Nanjing, right?
Let's stay here and fight together. The Hudi army will arrive soon. I, Liu Decheng, have no complaints, but my Dajing is in danger. Few people in the court resist the enemy, and many are afraid of death... You officials stay in Kyoto and give it a try, but you still have to take those rich kids into consideration. Ha! Hahaha! General Shen, I, Liu Decheng, am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my Dajing will be defeated by such cowards..."
