Bing-Er did not bother with his question, but showed the token on her waist to the soldiers, "The owner of this token wants me to come here and see someone." When he spoke, he did not even look at the soldiers. His tone was arrogant, as if he did not even put the soldiers in his eyes.

When the soldier saw the token at Bing'er's waist, his face immediately changed, and he immediately opened the cell door respectfully, bowing and scraping, "This one is the lord, please forgive me, but don't blame the smallest one!" His tone was almost begging, the difference was like heaven and earth between his arrogant and domineering tone just now.

Bing-Er smiled proudly. She didn't know that this token was so useful. However, her face was expressionless as she looked at the officer and commanded, "The person I want to meet doesn't want others to know about it." She gave the soldiers a cold look, hoping they would understand what she meant.

The soldiers immediately understood what he meant. He stood up and ordered the guards in a loud voice, "All of you, come out. The lord wants to see the prisoners alone."

The few officers and guards in the cell all came out, and when they passed Bing'er and Master Lu, they respectfully bowed to them.

Seeing that no one else entered the cell except for the prisoners, Grandma Lu followed closely behind her.

The officers and soldiers closed the door of the cell as soon as the old lady entered.

Bing'er and Grandma Lu quickened their steps until they reached the last room of the prison. Lu Zhao was lying on the ground, covered in wounds, looking extremely miserable.

Grandma Lu crouched on the ground, holding the wooden pillar of the cell with both hands as she called out softly, "Zhao'er! "Zhao'er!" Upon seeing Lu Zhao's injured body, tears of grief flowed uncontrollably down her face.

Upon hearing Grandma Lu's voice, Lu Zhao, who had fallen on the ground, hurriedly raised his head to look towards the cell door. When he saw Grandma Lu standing at the cell door, his bright eyes were filled with disbelief, "Mother!" He supported himself on the ground with both hands and crawled bit by bit in front of Grandma Lu, leaving a deep bloody wound on the ground behind him.

Bing'er's nose turned sour, and she almost shed tears. Just how much suffering had Lu Zhao suffered here!

Upon seeing the glaring trail of blood behind Lu Zhao, Grandma Lu shook her head at him, "Don't, don't climb anymore, don't crawl anymore."

However, Lu Zhao persisted in climbing forward until he reached the doorway. He stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Grandma Lu's through the gap in the wooden pillar, "Mother, are you doing well?"

Grandma Lu wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded at Lu Zhao, "Mother is doing very well. "Don't worry."

Lu Zhao nodded in relief, "As long as you're doing well, don't worry about me." Your son is doing very well here. "

Lu Zhao's words caused Grandma Lu to burst into tears, but she quickly forced the tears back into her eyes, "Zhao'er, this is Young Master Liu. He took in the mother and took care of the mother, and like the mother, she believes that you didn't kill the young maid of the Prime Minister's residence."

Lu Zhao turned around and looked at Bing'er gratefully, "Thank you brother for your trust and kindness towards my mother. I, Lu Zhao, will repay you in the next life!"

"I don't want your next life report, I want your current life report!" Bing'er said firmly to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao raised his head and looked at Bing'er in shock, "But I've already …"

"I want to reverse the case for you! to get you out of that cell alive. " Bing'er cut off Lu Zhao's words with a cold voice, and before he could react, Bing'er said again, "So, what do I ask you now? You have to answer me honestly, okay? "

Lu Shao's heart was deeply shocked by Bing'er's words. He didn't think that there would be someone who would believe that he was innocent, and even more so, that the person squatting in front of him would help him turn the case around. He looked at Bing'er in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses, "Mister Liu, please ask." As long as he could wash away his grievances, no matter what he had to do, he was willing to do it!

Bing'er coughed lightly, and asked Lu Zhao according to what Zhining had taught her, "Why is your jade pendant with the dead body, Xiu-Er?"

"I gave it to Xiu-Er. I wanted her to take the jade pendant as silver and go back home." Lu Zhao replied honestly to Bing'er.

Bing-Er frowned and looked at Lu Zhao in confusion, "What is your relationship with Xiu-Er?" [Why did you give such a precious jade pendant to Xiu-Er?]

One time, we escorted the Prime Minister to the morning court, where we were suddenly attacked halfway through our journey. At that time, we were at a disadvantage, and in order to protect the Prime Minister's life, I was acting as the Prime Minister while defending him from the enemy's sword thrust at the Prime Minister. But who knew that just as the sword was about to pierce my body, Wen Feng suddenly blocked a fatal sword attack for me, saving my life, while he himself didn't die, and before Wen Feng even died, he told me to take good care of his only family in this world, his sister Xiu'er. "But I didn't expect Xiu-Er to be killed. I have let Wen Feng down!" Tears of grief dripped from Lu Zhao's eyes when he finished speaking.

He quickly wiped away his tears and answered, "Xiu-Er knew that Wen Feng died, so she came from her hometown to handle Wenfeng's funeral. Originally, Xiu-Er should have left the capital after Wen Feng was buried, but she wanted to stay in the capital for two years as a maidservant. At the beginning, Xiu-Er had done a good job. The ladies liked Xiu-Er so much that she became Xiu-Er's personal maid. After a while, Xiu-Er showed up. She tried to seduce her master several times, and she even got close to Xiu-Er. So I found her and asked her to go to her hometown, but she said she didn't have a bun, so I gave her the pendant I had been wearing and told her to go to the pawnshop and get some silver for a bun and go back to her hometown. "But I didn't expect Xiu-Er to die that night."

"What were you doing on the night of Xiu-Er's death?" Bing'er looked at Lu Zhao and asked slowly.

"That night, mother was sick, and very sick. I stayed at home all night to take care of mother. I didn't go out until Ling Feng came to my house and took me away." Lu Zhao said to Bing'er.

Bing'er looked down at the disappearing scratches on the back of Lu Zhao's hand, "How did you get those scratches?"

Lu Zhao lowered his head to look at the back of his hand and sighed deeply, "This scar was indeed inflicted by Xiu-Er. I told Xiu-Er to stop her from leaving the house, but she refused to listen to my advice. She told me to mind my own business and that I wasn't her person. Why should I care about her?" I forced Xiu-Er to go to Wen Feng's grave. I told him clearly that I was her brother from now on, taking care of her in Wen Feng's place, but she didn't listen to me at all. She broke free of my hand, and I held her wrist tightly, telling her that if she didn't promise me to go back to Jiaxing, I wouldn't let go of my hand. Then she told me, "I killed her brother. Do you still want to kill her?" Xiu-Er's words hurt my heart. I just let go of her hand. Xiu-Er ran away as soon as she was free. "
