推出顶罪

[Sammy89]

Hi guys,

I found a sentence like this.

说不定推出秦震天父子顶罪，令李长老息怒，还能减轻一点责罚。

Can you help me explain what does 推出顶罪 mean in this context?

Thanks a lot guys.🙏

It seems a drama sentence.Where did you see this?
Well, it means perhaps the punishment can be lessen by making both秦震天 and his son to take the blame to calm 李长老down.

说不定 possibly
推出 push out
秦震天父子 Qin Zhentian, the father and the son
顶罪 to be the scapegoat (顶: 顶替 to replace others; 罪: 罪过 false)

It's actually more like what we call a scapegoat in English.
