Steward Cui led people to the inn where Zhou Xiya and them were.

"Steward Cui, why did you deign to come to the small shop, the small shop is really full of splendor." The shopkeeper saw Steward Cui, and hurriedly greeted him, this butler is a big man, and the official has to give a little face when he comes, who calls someone the butler of the Cui family.

"Without further ado, let me ask you, what about the merchant who lives in your shop?" Steward Cui didn't speak, and he had the little guy around him.

"There are a lot of businessmen living in our store, I don't know which one you are looking for, Steward Cui?" The shopkeeper's inquiry, I feel a little bottomless, I am afraid that it is not for any good thing to bring so many people to such a busy teacher.

"We don't know what his name is, we only know that he is a man and a woman, both young and with a lot of guards." The little guy said directly.

"I know who you are talking about, they live in the backyard of the shop, please come with me, they are in the inn now." The shopkeeper thought for a while, and directly took Steward Cui and them to the backyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, Li Mu's guards saw someone coming and went in to report that Li Mu and Zhou Xiya had all come out.

"Who are you?" Li Mudang asked first.

"Who? You know in your hearts that you are still acquaintances, you ran away without killing anyone, you owe debts to pay money, killing scenes, let's talk about it, you killed three officials, how do you want to solve it. The little guy should speak first.

"Kill the person who deserves to be killed, what is there to solve." Li Mu's tone was frivolous.

And Steward Cui looked at Li Mu and the others, judging from the dress and bearing of several people. It's not an ordinary person, in order not to make trouble for yourself, or ask: "Who are you?" Where did it come from and where are it going? ”

"We are just people who do the right thing for heaven, so naturally we come out and go everywhere" Zhou Xiya glanced at this Steward Cui and knew that this was a difficult role, so she didn't think about slowing down the matter.

"For the heavens? With such a big breath, I want to see if anyone will do the right thing for you. Arrest me and send them to the prefect's prison. Tell the prefect that this is a very vicious person, and killing the official is a heinous crime. Let the prefect interrogate him severely. Steward Cui waved his hand. The man behind him was about to rush forward.

Li Mu's guards also stood in front of Li Mu and them. The two sides confronted each other

"Huh...... If you want to arrest us, you are not afraid that your family master will not be able to protect you, is it worth it for a servant? Zhou Xiya held her arms and looked at Steward Cui.

"You want to scare me. I want to know, in this Yangzhou City, there are still people that my Cui family is afraid of? Steward Cui smiled.

"Yes, then I'll give you a taste of what it means to kick an iron plate. Li Mu, I don't know what it's like to be in prison, how about we go for a walk? Zhou Xiya asked Li Mu with a smile.

"I can't ask for it" The corners of Li Mu's mouth curled slightly, he knew that Xiya had already made arrangements, the commander of the garrison in Yangzhou was General Zhou's original old subordinate, and he was also a chess piece arranged by General Zhou in the south, Xiya had already asked people to go to the barracks with General Zhou's token, and naturally someone would come to meet them at that time.

"Arrogant, when I get to the prison, I want to see if your mouth will be so hard" Steward Cui made a cold face.

Zhou Xiya and Li Mu and a few guards left with the Cui family, but Steward Cui didn't care about Bai Yichuan and his wife, he also wanted to stay on the front line and don't make too much trouble.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Chen was very helpless, "What are these two children so strong, they have to go to the prison for a turn." ”

"The two children also want to make things bigger, so as to help the people who repair the canal, only rely on the people of the yamen to supervise the work, there are too many deaths and injuries among the laborers, they also want to put their own people in it, so that they can help if there is something, the small town is powerless, the big state capital can still arrange some manpower, the two children also want to do good things, those laborers are too hard, this is still the beginning, I don't know what to do later." Bai Yichuan patted his wife's shoulder and reassured.

Two children have the world in their hearts, this is a good thing, do what they can do, can save one person is one.

The head of the Cui family and a few people in the clan were accompanying Xiao Jingqing to drink and talk, and the distinguished guests came to the door, so they naturally wanted to entertain them.

"Come on, come on, Ben Hou will give you a cup, and I will rely on your help in the future, and your merits, Ben Hou will keep it in mind." Marquis Xiao raised his glass.

"I am willing to participate in the grand event with Marquis Xiao, and the Cui family will follow the work of dogs and horses" The head of the Cui family clinked glasses with Marquis Xiao, everything was in plain sight.

"Marquis Xiao, the Xiao and Cui families are world friends, and the Cui family is also the most important ally of the Xiao family, your eldest son has already married the daughter of the Wang family, we are one step late, but your second son, as far as we know, has not officially married a wife, if it is not the good of the Xiao and Cui families to end Qin and Jin, in order to make a big deal." The Cui family proposed, and also glanced at Xiao Jingqing who was sitting on the side, this second son of the Xiao family is really majestic, and he has the style of a father, and he should not be underestimated in the future.

According to the news they got, although the second son of the Xiao family is married, but the family seems to have some problems, the name is not right, and the woman's place is relatively low, and it is not very suitable for the second son of the Xiao family, so their Cui family wants to marry the Xiao family, although the best candidate is the eldest son of the Xiao family, but who knows what will happen in the future, if the Marquis Xiao really plots to seize the country, his son may be the emperor, and they can help overthrow an emperor, and they can help overthrow an emperor, As long as this Xiao Jingqing is ambitious, their Cui family will naturally support it.

"Huh...... This matter is not in a hurry, the dog has already married, and he is not worthy of the daughter of your mansion, but I have a daughter, who has been deeply loved by me since she was a child, and now she has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, otherwise let her marry the son of your mansion, which is also a good story. Marquis Xiao smiled and changed the topic.

Although he wanted to agree, but he couldn't do anything about his second son, this child was very stubborn, this time he got married because the family forced him to become, and finally it was like this, no wife or concubine, he knew that his son liked the girl of Zhou Jianxiong's family, but the girl didn't like his son, and he couldn't ask for a father even if he came to ask for a kiss.

"It's fine. It's okay, let's talk about this matter in detail when we go back, come on, drink and drink" The patriarch of the Cui family nodded, although he did not achieve his goal, but it can be regarded as a further relationship with the Xiao family.

As the hall was talking happily, the second housekeeper of the Cui Mansion walked in quickly, walked to the head of the house and whispered: "Master, General Wei, the chief soldier, has arrived, and the three hundred soldiers have arrived at the gate of our mansion." Tell us to hand them over. ”

"Who? They don't want to stay in the barracks. What are you doing in the city? The head of the family was stunned for a moment, they looked down on these martial artists the most, but they were also most afraid of these martial artists, because these people were really unreasonable. Xiucai couldn't explain why he met Bing. If they make a fuss. It's a lot of trouble.

"They said that our Cui family had locked up General Zhou Jianxiong's daughter, and Zhou Jianjun's daughter asked for help, and they came to save people," the housekeeper explained.

"Nonsense. When did his Zhou Jianxiong's daughter come to my Zhou house. The Cui family stood up angrily.

"Zhou Jianxiong's daughter, she has arrived in Yangzhou?" Marquis Xiao also heard it.

Xiao Jingqing also looked at the head of the Cui family, Xiya is in Yangzhou?

"I don't know? The general soldier of Yangzhou suddenly came with soldiers to ask for someone, I still wondered? Do you know about Miss Zhou's family? The head of the Cui family asked the housekeeper beside him, and the housekeeper shook his head.

At this time, a young woman suddenly broke in, and knelt on the ground when she came in, "Father, please let my little sister go, the little sister is young and ignorant, and she collided with the housekeeper, and the daughter-in-law will immediately write a letter to the cousin, asking him to discipline the little sister well, the little sister is delicate, how can she put people in prison, she is the most precious daughter of the cousin, if the cousin knows that the little sister is treated like this, he will definitely be angry." ”

This person is Zhou Xiya's sister, Zhou Xiya directly sent her a letter and asked her for help, and she has long been dissatisfied with the housekeeper's behavior of covering the sky at home, as if they are sons and young grandmothers still have rights, no matter how big the slave is, he is also a slave, and he can't lose his duty as a slave, so he just took this opportunity to clean up the housekeeper and get the housekeeper at home.

Hmph, Uncle Cousin is still there, the Protector General is famous, and he actually dares to arrest his daughter, this time he kicked the iron plate.

"What the hell is going on? I'm confused, who will explain it to me" The Cui family is so angry, how can Zhou Jianxiong be brought back involved, if the king of Hades knows that he hurt his daughter, the Cui family can't bear his anger.

The head of the Cui family looked at the second housekeeper, and the second housekeeper quickly shook his head, there are several housekeepers in the family, this is not what he did.

"Where's the butler?"

"The housekeeper went out and hasn't come back yet?" The second housekeeper hurried back.

"Hurry up and get the people back for me, and go to the prison to see if they really locked up the people and release them for me." The head of the house angrily ordered, "If you find someone, invite someone to the house, remember, speak to me politely"

"Yes, yes, the slave will do it," the second steward commanded.

"I'm friends with Miss Zhou, so let's go check it out too." Xiao Jingqing was not at ease and got up to go.

"Father, the daughter-in-law went to pick up the little sister, the father can rest assured, the daughter-in-law will help make peace, as long as the little sister is not a big deal, the cousin will not be responsible for this matter." Zhou Xiya's cousin said.

"Go, go, go," the head of the Cui family waved his hand.

After a few people left, the head of the Cui family looked at Xiao Hou Ye in embarrassment, "They are all under the emperor, which makes Xiao Hou Ye smile." ”

"It's okay, there are a lot of people in this house, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two people who are acting for the tiger, as long as you don't meet people with status, it's not a big deal." Marquis Xiao just smiled.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the daughter of Zhou Jianxiong's family, this time I have been touched by Brother Cui's light, and it is also a pleasure to meet the daughter of an old friend." Marquis Xiao put down his glass, compared to the Cui family, he valued the power of the Zhou family more, after all, many of the people of the Zhou family were in the military camp, and the troops in their hands accounted for sixty percent of Dayan.

It would be great if the Xiao family and the Zhou family could marry Qin and Jinzhi, but unfortunately, Lang had no intention of having a concubine, and his infatuated son rushed over.

When they arrived in the prison, Li Mu and Zhou Xiya were locked in a cell, and Steward Cui went to see the prefect, so the torture had not yet begun, and money could make the ghost grind, although he only stayed in the prison for a while, Li Mu also wanted to make himself comfortable, so he took the silver and asked the jailer to change to the best single cell.

"How long do you think they will arrive, will Steward Cui interrogate us first, or will our rescuers arrive first?" Zhou Xiya held the teacup in her hand, she couldn't drink the tea in the prison, she wouldn't eat.

"I guess it's Steward Cui who came first, to be honest, I'm really curious about the interrogation methods in the prison, isn't it bloody, I've played torture myself, I don't know which one is better." Li Mu joked, he could drink the tea foam in the prison.

"How do you interrogate prisoners?" Zhou Xiya asked, he knew that Li Mu had been a soldier, and he must have interrogated prisoners, and when she was at the border, she also followed the eldest brother and second brother to interrogate prisoners, but their methods were very bloody and nothing to look at.

"My interrogation method will not leave a trace of scars on the prisoner's body, tell you a literary one, tie up the prisoner, take the paper to wet, and paste it on the prisoner's face one by one, isolate the air, so that the prisoner can't breathe, this method is more than using a whip, the whip is just physical torture, the tough guy may be able to get through, but the taste of not being able to breathe is not so pleasant, slowly feeling that he can't breathe, even if he struggles desperately, he can't breathe a breath of air, this taste is the most tormenting, Usually the prisoners are interrogated in this way, and it doesn't take much paper, and they confess. Li Mu said a way.

"However, it's really gentle, and so little bit can really force people to death, and what's more." Zhou Xiya nodded.

"There is also a fatigue interrogation method, this is a mental interrogation, people spend one-third of their time in a state of sleep, sleep is human instinct, if you don't let people sleep, you say that this person can last a few days, one day can be, two days may be fine, three days? And there are people who keep asking them all kinds of questions, as long as they are sleepy, help them wake them up, and if this continues, everyone will be driven crazy, and when you ask him anything, he will say, please let him sleep for a while. Li Mu continued.

"However, how do I feel that the interrogation method you mentioned is too civilized, some of them are suitable for women, don't you men like those tortures that break the flesh, the louder the prisoner screams, the happier you are." Zhou Xiya asked rhetorically.

"Am I that perverted? However, this is indeed suitable for women to play, you don't underestimate women, they play torture, and the methods are clever, that is a needle without blood."

"Why do I think you have something in your words, do you want me to use these methods on you?" Zhou Xiya joked.

"Madame spares her life, Xiaosheng will never dare again." Li Mu hugged his fists and begged for mercy, which was very funny.

"Hmph, I'll let you kneel on the washboard when I go back" Zhou Xiya raised her chin.

"You're really" Li Mu was speechless, how can this thing be used in ancient and modern times? (To be continued......)
