"Mu Nanjin, Captain Liu asked you to go to Room 1, A, Left Courtyard of the Office to find him."

The Wenshuyuan was where the pacification envoys, thousand-householders and hundred-householders worked, and was divided into two courts, the left and right.

Among them, Jinyiwei pacification envoy Kan Chaoyan was in charge of the left courtyard, and Liu Baihu and Tang Jingrui were among his many subordinates.

Mu Nanjin was brought in by Tang Jingrui, so he belongs to the Left Courtyard.

When she arrived at the door of Room No. 1, Section A, in the Left Courtyard of the Secretariat, two general flag officers of the seventh rank who were guarding the door stopped her in her tracks.

Mu Nanjin looked up and saw Zhuang Yanfeng and Du Zan who had been following Tang Jingrui for many years.

They were once saved by Tang Jingrui and regarded Tang Jingrui as their adoptive parents and respected him very much.

Therefore, when they saw Mu Nanjin pestering Tang Jingrui and forcing Tang Jingrui to go on a business trip to another place to avoid him, they were extremely disgusted with Mu Nanjin.

"Mu Nanjin, you, a low-ranking Jinyiwei, dare to come to Wenshuyuan. Get out of Wenshuyuan before the pacification envoy sees you."

Zhuang Yanfeng pushed Mu Nanjin's shoulder angrily, but he stood there as steady as a rock.

He was slightly stunned. As a fourth-rank warrior, he couldn't even push the powerless little girl. It was really weird.

Unconvinced, Zhuang Yanfeng pushed again with greater strength, but Mu Nanjin remained motionless.

He turned his head to look at Du Zan, but the latter was staring at the Feiyu suit on Mu Nanjin.

"Mu Nanjin, you are so bold that you dared to sneak into the Wenshu Academy wearing the Feiyu uniform of the Ninth Rank Jinyiwei. If you were discovered, ten lives would not be enough for you to die. It's fine if you don't want to die yourself, but don't implicate Captain Tang."

Mu Nanjin looked around and said lazily, "Captain Liu asked me to come."

"Do you think we will still believe you? We will remind you one last time. If you don't leave, we will kick you out even if you are a girl."

Mu Nanjin had told them too many lies in the past, and Zhuang Yanfeng and the others could no longer believe her.

"Zhuang Zongqi, Du Zongqi, it was indeed me who asked her to come to Wenshu Academy."

Captain Liu, who had waited for a long time but still saw no sign of Mu Nanjin's arrival, hurried out to look for him. He saw that Mu Nanjin was stopped outside the gate by Zhuang Yanfeng and others, and hurriedly stood in front of Mu Nanjin.

Zhuang Yanfeng's face darkened. "Captain Liu, you knew she had other thoughts about Captain Tang, but you still dared to bring her to the Academy of Literature. Do you want to be punished by Captain Tang? And what's with the Feiyu suit she's wearing? Did you give it to her?"

Captain Liu said helplessly: "You two generals don't know that during the half month that you and Captain Tang were on official business, Mu Nanjin has been promoted to the ninth rank of Jinyiwei."

"From the ninth rank? How could a little girl like her be promoted to the ninth rank of Jinyiwei?" Zhuang Yanfeng and Du Zan looked at Captain Liu in bewilderment: "Who promoted her rank? Did you recommend her?"

"It was the Emperor who promoted her."

"Your Majesty!?" Zhuang Yanfeng and the others were even more incredulous and felt that Captain Liu was playing a huge joke on them.

"I'm in a hurry to take Mu Nanjin to see Governor Kan. I'll sit down with you guys and talk in detail later. Mu Nanjin, come with me."

Captain Liu took Mu Nanjin into Room A and closed the door. Then, he pulled the landscape painting on the wall, and the floor in the middle of the room made a creaking sound, revealing an entrance to a secret passage.

"Mu Nanjin, Lord Kan wants you to learn how to interrogate prisoners with us."

Mu Nanjin raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Let me learn how to interrogate a prisoner? Why did Lord Kan choose a little girl like me to interrogate a prisoner?"

Captain Liu made up an excuse he had prepared early in the morning: "Recently, the emperor wanted to establish an imperial examination for women, but was opposed by all the ministers. Therefore, the emperor wants to work hard on you, a female Jinyiwei. Although you are only a ninth-rank official, as long as you make achievements and let other ministers know that women are not inferior to men, the ministers will no longer oppose the emperor's establishment of an imperial examination for women. This is an opportunity for you to perform well. Don't disappoint the emperor and Lord Kan, and you can get promoted if you do a good job."

After saying this, he silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that the reason he made up was so good that even he began to believe it.

Mu Nanjin had been on duty at the Taijin Palace for nearly half a month, so he knew that the court was arguing over the establishment of the imperial examination for women. The ministers disagreed with the establishment of the imperial examination for women because they believed that women were not virtuous if they did not have talent, that women were inferior to men in all aspects, and that women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, and be filial to their parents-in-law. It was immoral to show up in public.

Such pedantic ideas were indeed disgusting, and made her want to slap the ministers in the face.

Mu Nanjin looked at the dark entrance of the cave.

[It's so dark in there, are you sure you don't want to silence me? ]

Captain Liu: “…”

Kan Chaoyan's real purpose is to use Mu Nanjin's thoughts to understand the felon. However, this trick may not work, so he asked Mu Nanjin to come over and try.

Captain Liu urged, "Master Kan and the others are still waiting for us in the dungeon. Let's not waste time here. Oh, Captain Tang is here too."

Mu Nanjin felt a toothache when he heard him emphasize that Tang Jingrui was also in the secret cell.

[Now everyone in the world thinks that I like Tang Jingrui. If this continues, I won't be able to get married. I have to find a way to let them know that I have no interest in Tang Jingrui. Otherwise, I will turn around and leave now, so that Captain Liu will no longer think that I still admire Tang Jingrui. ]

“…”

Captain Liu was very tired and didn't want to say more to her, so he pushed her into the secret passage.

After the entrance was closed, the lanterns inside lit up one by one, illuminating the entire passage.

Captain Liu was worried that Mu Nanjin would be frightened by the scene in the cell, so he warned her in advance: "Mu Nanjin, the tortured appearance and bloody smell of the prisoners in the cell may make you uncomfortable, but I can assure you that I will never let them hurt you."

"Oh." Mu Nanjin responded indifferently.

She had seen more dead people than she had eaten before, so why would she care about the smell of blood?

Half a cup of tea later, they finally reached the end of the underground.

At the end was a tall and thick wooden door, in front of which stood hundreds of Jinyiwei, each of whom had a martial arts level of more than seventh rank.

If someone wants to rob the prison, he has to consider whether he has the ability to defeat these Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei guarding the gate opened the prison door only after verifying Liu Baihu's identity, and then the disgusting smell of blood hit him in the face.

All kinds of painful groans and horrifying screams came into their ears one after another.

Captain Liu glanced at Mu Nanjin secretly, and was slightly relieved when he saw that there was no sign of fear on her face.

The serious criminals were imprisoned in the lowest level of the dark cell and had to pass layers of identity verification before they could be released. By the time they reached the bottom level, two quarters of an hour had passed.

Immediately afterwards, a quarrel was heard from inside.

Deng Xingchao, the Right Pacification Envoy, suppressed his anger and said, "Just do as I say and torture him. I don't believe he won't speak."

Tang Jingrui objected: "This person must be someone special. It's best not to use torture until the very end."

"Tang Jingrui, I am a higher official than you, you should listen to me."

Kan Chaoyan, the Left Pacification Envoy, said calmly, "I think Jing Rui is right."

"Oh, Tang Jingrui is right? What's the use of Tang Jingrui being right? Did he pry open that man's mouth? Don't forget that the emperor has given us very little time. If we can't find out the identity of the criminal, we will be demoted. I don't want to be demoted. Chen Liangli, Jiang Buzhi, open the door and torture me."

"Yes." Deng Xingchao's men went to open the prison door.

"Stop." Tang Jingrui stepped forward and pushed away Deng Xingchao's men.

Deng Xingchao said angrily: "Tang Jingrui, what do you mean?"

Tang Jingrui said gloomily, "I don't want people to resort to torture at every turn. This practice is no different from forcing a confession under torture. Not only will it wrongly accuse others and cause many unjust cases, but it will also bring discredit to the Jinyiwei over time."

"you……"

Kan Chaoyan glanced outside: "Here they come."

Deng Xingchao paused in anger: "What's coming?"

"Captain Liu and Mu Nanjin are here."

Darlings, remember to collect and recommend, love you
