Lin Xiu came to the Jinwu Guard Office and was locked up in a cell.

Looking at the torture instruments placed in the house, there were mottled dark red blood stains on them, the stove was burning vigorously, the soldering iron inside was red, and various other tools told the danger here.

Although Lin Xiu was suspected, he was a county man after all, and the Jinwu Guard did not dare to do anything randomly and did not lock Lin Xiu, so Lin Xiu looked around and admired these torture instruments.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in.

"The man in Lin County is very interested in torture instruments!" The middle-aged man was wearing a scarlet martial robe and a silverfish bag around his waist, with a majestic demeanor.

Lin Xiu was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, a general in charge of the central government personally interrogated him. Although he had a county baron, the Fang family was born in a villain after all. The other party attached so much importance to it, either to give Fang Xuanling face or to find bad luck.

Judging from his expression of the knife hidden in his smile, it seems that the visitor is not good.

So Lin Xiu bowed and replied, "I have never seen torture instruments before, so I am quite interested. I dare to ask the general's name? I don't know why I came here?"

"I am Zhou Yunhe, Lin County man please sit down!" The middle-aged man reached out and signaled, and then said: "Yesterday, the Jinwu Guard arrested the assassin in Wubenfang. Originally, the assassin could not escape, but he never thought that a mysterious man would rescue him. After careful investigation, it was found that the Lin County man entered Wubenfang at 3:00 and did not return to the Duke of Liang's mansion until the hour of Hai. I dare to ask what the free time in the middle, what was Lin County man doing?"

Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows, and then he realized the reason why Jinwuwei suspected him. You should know that Lin Xiu was very cautious. He covered up his appearance when he rescued Qingning, and the process in the middle was not discovered by Jinwuwei.

"It turns out that it is General Zhou, who has long been famous. I dare to ask General Zhou, where did you know the Duke of Liang's Mansion that I returned to at the Xu hour?" Lin Xiu asked.

Zhou Yunhe smiled and said, "We Jinwu Guard have our own way to do things, which is confidential and is inconvenient to explain."

Lin Xiu said again: "General Zhou, it's not possible to make it! I was obviously not home that I returned at the moment of Xu, but you said yes, and this must be confronted. I wonder if the Jinwu Guard had hidden a spy in the Duke of Liang's Mansion, or if someone informed the Jinwu Guard?"

Zhou Yunhe stared at Lin Xiu and immediately realized that the young man in front of him was difficult to deal with because Lin Xiu’s problems were very tricky.

Seeing him hesitating, Lin Xiu smiled again: "General Zhou, I came out of the Duke of Wei's Mansion last night and was drunk. It was impossible for me to save the assassin. By the way, did the Jinwu Guard find clues when the mysterious man rescued the assassin? For example, seeing the mysterious man's appearance or the items on him?"

"There are naturally clues!" Zhou Yunhe said: "For example, the mysterious man dressed strangely, did not wear a coat, but only a lining. Just like a man in Lin County liked to wear Taoist robes, did he take off the Taoist robes last night for the sake of convenience of movement? For example, from the figure of the body, the man in Lin County is very similar to the mysterious person last night!"

"General Zhou, speculation is not considered evidence!" Lin Xiu finished speaking, unbuttoned the front of the Taoist robe on his chest, exposed the lining inside, and asked with a smile: "General Zhou, is the mysterious man yesterday also dressed like me?"

The Tang Dynasty men wore round-necked robes on the outside and white shirts on the inside, but now Lin Xiu's shirt is not ordinary, but a Taoist robes with Taoist runes embroidered on them.

"General Zhou, I am a Taoist practitioner. I wear Taoist robes on the outside and dust-proof robes on the inside. If you don't believe it, you can search in my room. My shirts are all these." Lin Xiu said again.

Zhou Yunhe frowned slightly, but soon calmed down and shouted: "Lin County man, our Jinwu Guard dares to say that you returned to the Duke of Liang's mansion at the hour of Hai, naturally the evidence is conclusive. You don't come by the real tricks now, but keep covering up, and proves that you were the one who rescued the assassin yesterday. So I advise you to confess according to the real tricks, otherwise... aren't you very interested in these torture instruments? Then let you try it yourself!"

Lin Xiu was not scared. The other party kept forcing him to confess, so he proved that he had no evidence!

"Does General Zhou want to betray him?" Lin Xiu held his arms without fear at all.

Zhou Yunhe's eyes were fierce, and then he stood up, winked at the other Jinwu Guards in the house, and then he walked out.

......

Fang Yiai rushed back to the Duke of Liang's mansion and told the Lu family that Lin Xiu was taken away by Jinwu Guard.

After hearing this, Lu was furious and scolded: "How can you, a slut, let Jinwuwei capture Lin Xiu?"

"The other party has many people, and Brother Xiu said he is innocent and willing to follow him!" Fang Yiai said aggrievedly.

Lu sighed and said, "Lin Xiu doesn't understand the situation in Chang'an City, don't you understand? Who is the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard? Han Yue! He is the man of Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji. Your father and Changsun Wuji are in a political disagreement. In order to curry favor with Changsun Wuji, Han Yue will definitely be arguing!"

"They dare! They don't want to live anymore!" Fang Yiai glared at him.

Lu slapped him on the back of the head and cursed: "The Jinwu Guard used torture, so you can't find the wound! Go to the Shangshu Province and find your father! You go in person!"

"Oh!" Fang Yiai didn't dare to neglect and ran out immediately.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the imperial city, he learned that Fang Xuanling had entered the palace and His Majesty summoned him for urgent matters.

When he heard that it was an urgent matter, Fang Yiai was even more anxious. Generally, the urgent government affairs convened by His Majesty would not be over in a short time. Therefore, Fang Yiai could only ask the officials of the Secretariat to help pass the message, and Fang Yiai returned to the mansion.

After learning about the situation, Lu thought for a while and shouted, "You go to Jinwuwei with your mother!"

"My mother took action in person?" Fang Yiai said in shock.

Lu nodded and said, "After all, I am the county lady given by His Majesty, and the wife of Duke Liang. My child is in trouble, so what's the harm even if he shows up in public?"

"Don't your mother hold a grudge against Lin Xiu?" Fang Yiai couldn't help asking.

Lu stared at Fang Yiai and said solemnly: "Yiai, I have never held a grudge against Lin Xiu for my mother. I hate your father for my mother. This old thing was hidden from me. Lin Xiu is very pitiful. He has no mother and no father to accompany me at the age of ten. Sometimes I put myself in my shoes. If I am gone and let you four brothers and sisters be lonely, my tears can't help but fall. So you have to get along well with Lin Xiu, we are a family!"

"Mother, the child knows!" Fang Yiai hurriedly bowed to the teachings.

Afterwards, Lu changed into a formal uniform of imperial edicts and took Fang Yiai and the guards in the mansion to the Jinwu Guard.

......

In the official office of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, there is a spacious and bright party house. General Han Yue, the Zuo Jinwu Guard, is handling official duties.

"I heard that Lin Xiu was arrested, did he call him?" Han Yue asked when he remembered this incident.

A chief minister replied: "General Zhou is being interrogated. Although the other party grew up in a rural Taoist temple, his mouth is very hard and he is not recruiting at all. General Zhou is ready to torture."

Han Yue said: "After all, the other party is the county male granted by His Majesty, and he is Fang Xuanling's concubine son. This face must be given. Say Zhou Yunhe, don't leave any traces of torture, and don't be caught."

"Please rest assured, General, I have explained it." The chief minister said respectfully.

Han Yue nodded and smiled: "As long as the other party confesses, it will be up to you to see how Duke Zhao deals with Fang Xuanling!"

Before he finished speaking, a Jinwu Guard asked for a meeting and said, "Report to the General, the wife of Duke Liang, Lu, came, blocked the door of the mansion, and clamored to see the General!"

"Lu? Humph... A girl dared to come to Jinwuwei to act wildly! It's outrageous!" Han Yue was furious.

The chief replied: "The General calms down. There have been rumors in Chang'an City that Lu's arrogance can be seen from Fang Xuanling's fear. Moreover, she is also the county lady given by His Majesty. Look at the general..."

Han Yue thought about it and felt that it was rude to not see it.

He was able to send people to arrest Lin Xiu because although Lin Xiu was a county man, he was only a concubine. But the Lu family was different. She was from the Lu family and had an imperial decree. As the general of Jinwu Guard, Han Yue did not want to be called rude.
