"I'm really ashamed." Bai Jianxing said with a complex expression.

"Lord Bai, there is no need to blame yourself. No one thought that the governor of the surrounding city was full of evil intentions and dared to steal the disaster relief food."

Mu Chennian looked solemn. He didn't know if his elder brother had arrived. The people in several villages over Shanjia Village should have disappeared. He didn't know how the people in other villages around the city were doing.

"Mu Shizi, how did you get here? Logically speaking, you guys should have taken more precautions after knowing about the siege of the city. How could you be caught so easily?"

Bai Jianxing asked doubtfully, and Mu Chennian was a little embarrassed. He had been enjoying himself in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital. Although he had learned these things, he was still a little unfamiliar with the practical application.

"I underestimated the governor of the surrounding city and thought I would come to inquire about the information first. Unexpectedly, I was arrested without asking anything."

"Mu Shizi means there is someone else besides you?"

Mu Chennian nodded in response: "It's not convenient to talk about these things now. Don't worry. The governor around the city didn't kill us, but arrested us. It shows that he still has concerns. He probably still needs us. Let's act according to the situation." .”

Bai Jianxing also knew that the current occasion was not suitable to talk about these secrets, so he didn't ask again.

the other side

Mu Yun and the others were not treated so well, and they were all tied to the torture rack.

"Speak or not?"

Several jailers raised their arms high, swung the whips in their hands, and the whips fell on their bodies, leaving streaks of blood, and heartbreaking pain instantly spread throughout their bodies.

Despite this, Mu Yun and others gritted their teeth and refused to say a word.

"Stop."

Zhang Taishou came down from the high seat and said with a cold face: "You are really tough. I just don't know if your master is worth your efforts."

"Don't sow discord here. We will never betray the master. Besides, it's not just for the master, but also for the people surrounding the city."

Mu Yun gritted his teeth as he endured the pain. It really hurt. He was used to living a life of fine clothing and food with his master, and he had not suffered this kind of pain for many years.

"Li Changshi, go and bring the prince of Pingyang Hou Mansion over."

Prefect Zhang ordered the man in his 30s beside him with a normal expression.

Not long after, Mu Chennian was brought over by Li Changshi who had just been standing next to Prefect Zhang. His ice blue robe was stained and his hair was a little messy because he had heavy shackles on his hands and feet. It's a little difficult to walk, but although it's awkward, it still looks noble and is still beyond the reach of others.

"Shizi Mu is worthy of being a nobleman of the royal family, and he can still be so calm and composed even though he has become a prisoner."

Mu Chennian listened to Governor Zhang's praise without any emotion. He turned around and saw the miserable condition of Mu Yun and others, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Prefect Zhang can come to me if you have anything to do. Why bother embarrassing my subordinates? They are just following orders."

"The subordinates just asked them some things. If they refused to say anything, we had to take action. However, Mu Shizi and his subordinates were sincere and refused to say a word."

Zhang Taishou's expression turned sharply and he said coldly: "I don't know what weight these people have in Mu Shizi's heart."

"If you have any questions, just ask them. Let them go, and I will answer you."

Mu Chennian heard the implication of his words and called him here specifically to threaten him with Mu Yun and the others. If they didn't cooperate, Mu Yun and the others might lose their lives.
