The backyard of the county office.
Chang Yuan was startled awake in his sleep, the door to his room was being knocked loudly.
He threw on his outer garment, opened the door, and said, "What happened?"
"My lord, it's bad, the city has been breached, bandits have entered the city," the steward said.
Hearing that bandits had entered, Chang Yuan's face changed instantly, he hurriedly asked, "Is it the Celestial Master Thieves?"
"It's not the Celestial Master Thieves, it's bandits from Fu Ze Village. My lord, you guessed correctly, the Wang family indeed had ulterior motives. The people who went to ransom someone from the Wang family brought in bandits from Fu Ze Village and opened the city gate."
"..."
This time, Chang Yuan was stunned: "Didn't I tell General Sun to keep an eye on them? How did they manage to open the city gate?"
