The art of painting was a great weapon for Mu Shu. Although it would eventually turn into the art of painting Mu Mu, since one of them was willing to fight against the other, Lu Jinsheng didn't care about it.

There were about 40 to 50 guards in the courtyard that had been cleaned up. Lu JinNian frowned, "If it was only Princess Rongqing who arranged this, then there would be too many people."

When Mu Shu saw Lu JinNian walking over, he crossed his arms and once again revealed a dissatisfied expression, "These people aren't dead yet. Why don't we just detain them and interrogate them."

"Mu Shu is truly a god. I'm impressed." Lu JinNian raised his eyebrows. "Then we'll leave this matter to Mu Shu. Go call our men over. I can see that none of the mansions around here are occupied. These people should first lock up in the houses nearby and set up some traps. As for the painting …

Lu Jinjian looked at Mu Painting and said, "You will be hiding in the Princess Mansion. If anyone tries to infiltrate again, arrest them. If there's an accident and you have to protect yourself, I will allow you to kill them."

"..."

Dawn's Twilight was at the end of his field of vision, outlining the world that was still submerged in the silence of the night. The clear morning dew permeated the air, coalescing into one group that danced around each other and turned into a drizzle.

After another sleepless night, it was finally time for Lu JinNian to arrange the layout of the Princess' residence. The entire Liang Jing City was still in a deep slumber, with only a few shops and Lu JinNian's place to go. The lanterns in front of the doors were still brightly lit.

The red lacquered drum was in front of the Jing Zhao Residence. Under the light rain, the cracks and lines of the lacquered drum were clear, showing that it had been here for a long time.

The two yamen runners in front of the door had just replaced them. They were full of spirit as they held their fire and water sticks. When they saw Lu JinNian walking towards the yamen, they revealed a kind smile.

"This little brother, is it a complaint or a report?"

Fine, this yamen is very close to the people!

Lu JinNian returned a smile, "Hello officials and big brothers. I am Chu Qing. I am looking for someone. May I ask if Young Master Pei Yu is at the yamen?"

No matter how close the people were, the Jing Zhao Estate was still an official government administration. They naturally wouldn't directly lure Lu JinNian to the office to look for someone. They had their own guest room, which was filled with tea and snacks, as well as toilet paper and towels.

It seemed like there was someone reporting the grievances of the people, who was also brought here to calm his mind and explain the case in a calm manner. A toilet towel was used to wipe his tears and snot, just in case he was in need.

Lu JinNian had his hands behind his back as he looked at a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall. His calligraphy brush was like a dragon and a snake. Although he was very old, his sharpness and determination could not be eliminated by the passing of time.

Written on the book were eight big words, "Request orders for the people, the people shall be the first."

Lu JinNian was staring blankly at Mo Shu. Only when the sound of footsteps came from behind did he regain his senses. He turned around and saw Pei Yu walking over.

"This calligraphy was written by Qian Ji when the Ming Xuan Country was just established. It was written by Qian Ji when the Ming Xuan Country was first established. It is the responsibility of the Jing Zhao Estate."

He wore the gown of a scholar, and was steady and refined. He lacked the impatience of a young man, and added a lot of wisdom and patience.

Lu JinNian smiled, "It seems like Brother Yu has studied a lot in the Capital Prefecture."

Pei Yu looked at Lu Jin Nian's outfit and was speechless for a while, "So … "Where did you go?"

Lu JinNian found a chair and sat down, "Brother Yu understands the Lin Chuan pleasure boat."

Pei Yu, "…" This girl was addicted to visiting brothels?

"When I was having fun, I thought that Brother Yu, such an astute and studious person, would come to the Jing Zhao Estate early to be on duty. It's true that I would be able to see you here at this time."

Pei Yu choked. After a while, he slowly said to Lu JinNian with a complicated look in his eyes, "Brother Chu, it's better if you don't go to that place."

Prime Minister Pei and General Lu were respectively civil and military generals, and they often quarrelled because of different angles of view. If General Lu knew that it was because he had started visiting brothels and was addicted to them, how could he not skin them alive?

Seeing him so conflicted and with his eyebrows twitching, looking like he wanted to remain calm but couldn't, and yet was still so strong that he had to remain calm on the surface, Lu Jinsheng found it interesting and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Yu, it's strange that I didn't bring you along to play?"

Pei Yu, "…"

Lu JinNian laughed, "I'm just teasing you. I'm a fan of Brother Yin Jiu's painting. He's in jail, so I'll go check on his girlfriend on his behalf."

"Miss Ning Lan?"

"That's right," Lu Jinniang said with a smile. "Even Brother Yu knows about it. Fragrant Pavilion's Courtesan Belle truly lives up to his reputation."

Pei Yu rolled her eyes at her, "Keep talking nonsense and take a look. You've come so early, so why don't you tell me what you want my help for?"

Even though he was inexperienced, Pei Yu had always been by his father's side ever since he was young. He had a good eye for people, after the previous few encounters, he had completely seen through Lu JinNian's weird behavior. He was relaxed and carefree, but he had his own standards and bottom line.

She wouldn't have the leisure to run over here and interact with him.

After being exposed, Lu JinNian touched his nose, "Cough, isn't my idol in prison? I've been taken into custody by the Capital Prefecture. Let's see if Brother Yu can accommodate us and let my little brother go in to take a look."

When it came to official business, Pei Yu frowned and said, "In the case of Shen Yin, His Majesty, the Emperor, is very concerned. In the case of Shen Yin, His Majesty, the Emperor is very concerned about the case.

"Brother Yu, don't be so inflexible. I believe that you can do it."

Lu JinNian waved his hand at him, using his eyes to support him to 'quickly return'. Then, he leisurely picked up the tea offered by the servants of the Jing Zhao Estate and picked up another piece of dessert.

Pei Yu felt funny for no reason. He couldn't stand to be angry at her.

Not long after, Pei Yu brought over some news. "Lord Cui has agreed. However, we'll be listening while you visit."

This time, it was Lu JinNian's turn to be surprised. "He agreed so readily?"

For example, they had to be blood relatives, and their relationship could be verified. They didn't need to fill out any application forms to wait for approval. The little thief hawker could be sent to jail, and the bailiff could get a good fee for it.

However, Shen Yin's case was of great importance, and a blood relative's visit to the prison might be an easy task. As a friend who was obsessed with painting, Lu JinNian had thought that Pei Yu would have to go through some tough times.

Pei Yu looked at her with disdain, "You think I'm not happy that you're letting me pass?"

"Happy, happy," Lu JinNian stood up from his chair and thought for a moment, "Shen Yin did not say anything useful, so you suspect that he was concealing it and wanted to use the prison to find a way to break through?"

It wasn't as if Huai Rou didn't have any interrogation techniques, it seemed like Shen Yin really wasn't tortured.

Pei Yu gave a start, "I really don't know what can be hidden from you."

"You're too polite, just naturally smart."

"…"
