Tong Zhifu took a deep breath, and without waiting for Wei Gao to respond, he immediately stood out with a frown on his face.

"General Dong, what does this mean?"

As soon as Magistrate Tong spoke, Dong Wenfeng immediately looked up.

Tong Zhifu met Dong Wenfeng's scrutinizing eyes and continued,

"I changed into a yamen servant's uniform and planned to guard the city gate with the soldiers. When did I desert the battlefield?"

"I dare not admit to this kind of unfounded crime."

"I am in this city, even if it is destroyed, I will not live..."

After listening to what Prefect Tong said, Dong Wenfeng's anger subsided a lot.

"It would be much easier if you were here."

"You should have heard what the general ordered just now. Go and do it."

He had indeed wronged Magistrate Tong, and it was impossible for him to apologize.

Prefect Tong's expression froze and he clenched his teeth.

He didn't dare to stand up because he heard Dong Wenfeng's immoral orders.

If Dong Wenfeng hadn't sent people out of the city to chase him, he would have been afraid that his family would be caught, and he would never stand up today even if he died.

"My attention was focused on the rebels just now, and I didn't notice what General Dong said."

Prefect Tong looked straight at Dong Wenfeng, with a hint of oppression in his eyes.

Dong Wenfeng looked at Prefect Tong in surprise. At that moment, he felt the aura of the prefect of a city.

Unfortunately, this momentum couldn't scare him.

He has been around a moody emperor for a long time, so the emperor's aura is more terrifying than that of a small prefect.

"Didn't notice!? Ha!"

"Then listen carefully. Bring all the shields in the city here, and bring a dozen cauldrons, and heat 100 barrels of oil to a boil."

"Also, bring 200 civilians here."

Dong Wenfeng looked at Prefect Tong's stunned expression with contempt in his eyes.

"Listen carefully, and get ready!"

Those people who live half-dead are a burden. If they can make some contribution to Shiquan City before they die, it will be worth their death.

Prefect Tong was so angry that he almost glared at Dong Wenfeng's face.

This beast, he only needed a few big pots and 50 barrels of oil before, but now he doubled the amount.

He even shamelessly asked the people to come over.

Everyone knew that he wanted to use the common people to threaten Xiao Yunzhan.

"you....."

"Um!?"

As Prefect Tong opened his mouth, Dong Wenfeng glanced at him and drew out the sword from his waist.

The sharp tip of the knife was pointing at Magistrate Tong, and it looked like if Magistrate Tong dared to say "no", his sword would pierce through his heart.

The lawyer walked forward with horror in his eyes and pulled Magistrate Tong's sleeve.

"........" Magistrate Tong looked at the sword in front of him, his eyes dimmed a little, "....Okay!"

The master listened to the word that Magistrate Tong squeezed out from between his teeth, and after seeing Dong Wenfeng retract his sword, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What a sin! Why didn’t the little donkey delivering the letter die on the way?

After working hard for more than a month, I brought back such a crazy thing...

.......

"Sir, what can we do? Where can we get so much oil in the city?"

The lawyer looked back at the city gate tower, and with a sad face, he helped Prefect Tong walk towards the prefectural government office.

Prefect Tong pulled the corner of his lips.

"First, let the guards take the shields to the tower..."

"Then - call all the reliable bailiffs and guards to the front hall of the prefectural government office."

Magistrate Tong took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

He couldn't prepare the oil.

If the prefect's warehouse and his private storehouse had not been stolen, he would indeed have been able to produce so much oil.

At this moment, he was somewhat glad that the warehouse was robbed, so that he would not be able to help the evil.

As for taking civilians to the city gate tower to serve as human shields-----that is even more impossible.

He would never do such a thing that would be infamous for eternity and be reviled by generations to come.

If he did such a thing, even if his sister gave birth to a prince in the future, there would be no possibility for him to inherit the throne.

As an uncle, he has this stain, which will be used repeatedly to whip his nephew, the prince.

The entire Tong family is looking forward to the birth of the prince in the sister's belly, so that the Tong family can soar to new heights.

He absolutely cannot make this kind of mistake.

So-----just let Dong Wenfeng wait.

The master looked at Prefect Tong with complicated eyes.

"Okay, I'll tell someone to do it right away."

As soon as they returned to the prefectural government, Tong and his legal advisor happened to run into the soldiers that Dong Wenfeng had sent to look for him.

Before the soldiers could say anything, Magistrate Tong arranged for the yamen runners to take the soldiers to move the shields.

After sending Dong Wenfeng's men away, the lawyer called all his reliable subordinates over.

Hundreds of yamen runners and guards looked at Magistrate Tong in bewilderment.

The rebels had already reached the city gate, why did the prefect suddenly call them back?

Every extra stone they move can hit one more rebel, and their chances of winning will be greater.

Tong Zhifu glanced at everyone in front of him and said seriously,

"The Dong family is inhumane. They want to use the people of the entire city as human shields to threaten the rebels..."
