Bing-Er asked as soon as she got back to Tianyi. The smell was familiar to her. It was the smell of cooking from Grandma Lu. She felt relieved, but at the same time, she was angry.

Bing'er walked into the kitchen and stood at the entrance. Just as she was about to berate Grandma Lu, she saw her crying as she cooked. Bing'er's heart ached, and she quietly left the kitchen. She guessed that Grandma Lu must have gone to the dungeon, but she didn't see Lu Zhao. Grandma Lu was so sad and didn't forget to cook food for her. How could she bear to blame her again?

Bing'er slowly walked to the table and sat on it. She rested her chin on her hands. Just how was she going to meet Lu Zhao?

However, she couldn't think of many methods to break into the prison. She even thought of robbing the prison, so breaking into the prison wouldn't be a difficult thing, and Lu Zhao wouldn't believe her. Furthermore, robbing a prison was against the law, so she couldn't let ZhiNing take the risk. If something went wrong, not only Zhining, but even the entire Chen Mansion and even the Chief Patrol Officer would be implicated. However, what Bing-Er didn't know was that Zhining had already snuck into the prison.

The man dressed in the Zhining Ring hastily returned to the Chen Residence, but he did not see Grandma Lu. He asked a few servants if they had seen her in the Chen Residence. After some thought, Zhining felt that it was highly likely that Grandma Lu had gone to visit Lu Zhao in her cell. Without thinking, she ran to the west side of the city where the prison was located.

Just as they arrived at the cell's door, they saw a few guards sitting in front of their cells, drinking and playing with their fists. One of them lost, and drank his wine in one gulp, and when he placed his wine cup on the table, he chuckled, "It's all thanks to Lu Zhao. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a delicious wine!"

"Hahaha, that's right, I didn't expect that Grandma Lu would be so generous as to buy the best girl red." Another guard said in an intoxicated tone.

"However, even if she gives us all the good wine in the capital, she shouldn't even think about meeting Lu Zhao." However, even if she gives all the good wine in the capital, she shouldn't think about meeting Lu Zhao. The third guard said in a mocking and complacent manner.

Just as the third guard finished his sentence, the three veterans burst out laughing in unison. Their laughter was mixed with a strong sense of ridicule. "Haha."

Zhiyue, who was standing behind them, became even angrier. She took out a mask from her bosom and put it on her face, then looked around, only to see three prison guards sitting outside the cell door drinking. The other two soldiers stood outside the cell door guarding, a total of five people. A cold smile appeared on her face. She was going to take care of these scum who were paid the salary of the imperial court. But not now, but after she had met Lu Zhao.

A few guards who were drinking could only see a flash of blue before their eyes. They didn't even have time to scream before they collapsed on the table, unconscious.

"The two soldiers standing at the entrance of the cell heard the peculiar sound and turned around. They shook their heads when they saw the three soldiers lying on the table. One of them snorted." Drunk again. "

While the two of them were looking at the three prison guards, ZhiNing had quietly and stealthily slipped past the two officers and soldiers and entered the dungeon.

The dungeon was extremely dark, and the smell of damp and mold was extremely nauseating. Torches were lit on both sides of the dungeon, illuminating the entire dungeon. Inside the cell, the prisoners were lying on the floor or leaning against the damp walls, fast asleep.

As Zhining walked forward, she looked for Lu Zhao. She only glanced at him once on the street, but she clearly remembered Lu Zhao's appearance.

Not far from the dungeon, there was a jailer sitting on a stool. He was holding a flagon in his left hand and a chicken thigh in his right hand. He was drinking and eating while eating.

Without making a sound, ZhiNing came up behind the old man and hacked towards the back of the prison head with her palm, causing the prison head to suddenly turn black and faint.

Zhining quickened her steps and silently walked inside the cell, but she didn't see Lu Zhao's figure. In the last cell, there were two prisoners altogether, one dressed in clean prison clothes, sitting inside the cell and eating a chicken leg. His surroundings were very clean, and there was even a quilt sitting under him. The other man's face was covered in blood and it was impossible to see his original appearance, but this man shouldn't be Lu Zhao because he had already confessed and couldn't use torture on him anymore. How could he possibly be Lu Zhao?

Zhining couldn't help but frown slightly. She had already searched through the entire prison, and hadn't seen Lu Zhao's figure at all. Could it be that Lu Zhao wasn't locked up in this prison? Or perhaps, Lu Zhao had already been killed by someone?

If those people really killed Lu Zhao, how would she explain this to Grandma Lu?

Just as ZhiNing was at a loss for words, the cell door was opened. Startled, ZhiNing quickly jumped up and hung herself on the cell's beam.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed into the cell with weapons in their hands. Behind the soldiers was actually a patrolman in official uniform.

ZhiNing was secretly surprised and confused, "Why would he come here?"

He saw the Chief Patrol Officer pick up his official uniform and slowly walk to the last cell with a serious expression. He stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him stood the Minister of Justice, Zhuang Shangcheng.

The Chief Patrol Officer stood outside the cell and looked coldly at the prisoner eating a chicken leg. He then asked the Minister of Justice standing behind him, "What crime has this prisoner committed?"

"My lord, he is guilty of theft." Zhuang Shangcheng respectfully replied to the Chief Patrol Officer.

The Chief Patrol Officer could not help but turn around to look at the Minister of Justice. His eyes were sharp and cold. Unsure, he asked Zhuang Shangcheng again, "Is it a crime of theft?"

"Yes." Zhuang Shangcheng respectfully replied to the Chief Patrol Officer.

The Chief Patrol Officer stood outside the old room and looked deeply at the bloodied face of the prisoner. His original appearance could no longer be seen. After a long while, he turned around and looked at Zhuang Shangcheng, his beautiful eyes filled with disappointment. He asked Zhuang Shangcheng with a heartache, "Teacher, how could you do this?"

Zhuang Shangcheng's expression immediately changed. He raised his head and looked at the Chief Constable in panic, "Hai Yang."

Hiding on the beam, ZhiNing couldn't help but pout. Ocean?

The chief steward's residence was the Southern Prefecture, which meant that the lord steward was called Nanhai!

No wonder the patron didn't want to reopen the Lu Zhao case! It turned out that he was actually a student of the Disciplinary Committee's President. She harrumphed to herself, Nanhai is truly a good student!

Nanhai looked at Zhuang Shangcheng in disappointment, "Teacher, student remembers that teacher once taught students that they must handle all matters impartially. They absolutely must not be selfish."

"Hai Yang, master has always been a righteous and strict person. I've never held a hint of selfishness in my heart." Zhuang Shangcheng was looking at the Southern Ocean righteously.
