Marquis Xuanping still hoped to lead his troops back to rescue them, and it was even more impossible for him to reveal who he was to the bandits.

Shen Linzhou racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, and the noise outside the door also startled the people in the mansion.

Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Shen came out and were horrified when they saw their son with his hands restrained.

"Why did you arrest my son?" Shen's mother yelled as she rushed over and pushed away the guards who were holding Shen Linzhou.

The guards stood still like a mountain.

Father Shen's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly pulled Mother Shen's hand, then looked at Cheng Hong, with a polite smile on his face and a hint of flattery: "Commander Cheng, this... is there any misunderstanding?"

Cheng Hong is the commander of the Imperial Guards and is highly regarded and trusted by the Emperor.

The emperor's personal guards are not comparable to ordinary people.

Besides, Mr. Shen's official rank was low, and he didn't have the courage to order Cheng Hong around, so he could only ask this in a tactful way.

Cheng Hong said expressionlessly, "Sir Shen, whether it is a misunderstanding or not, your son will make the decision after seeing the emperor. Please don't hinder us from doing our work, Sir Shen."

When Mr. Shen heard this, his heart began to beat wildly.

Meet the Emperor...

So Cheng Hongshen came to arrest Lin Zhou in the middle of the night on the emperor's orders?

"What's going on?" Father Shen asked anxiously.

Cheng Hong paused and said, "Master Shen, don't you know?"

"I've had a cold these past two days, so I haven't left the house." Father Shen explained.

Cheng Hong showed a look of understanding.

No wonder I didn’t know.

However, the matter of Shen Linzhou has been circulating for several days. Hasn't everyone in the Shen family heard about it?

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Hong saw Shen's mother with a guilty look on her face and understood.

I'm afraid he knew it, but Mrs. Shen kept it from him and didn't tell Lord Shen.

This is the Shen family's affair and has nothing to do with me, and I have no obligation to explain it clearly.

His mission is to arrest people.

Now that the person has been caught, he naturally has to return to the palace to report. Why would he stay to chat?

"Your son's affairs are not a secret. Lord Shen can find anyone to ask. I am anxious to take Deputy General Shen to the palace. Bye."

After he finished speaking, Cheng Hong waved to the imperial guards and took the man away amid Shen Linzhou's rage and Shen's mother's screams.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Father Shen shuddered and came to his senses.

He glared at Shen's mother and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you know something? Why was Cheng Hong ordered to arrest Lin Zhou?"

After listening to Cheng Hong's words, everyone knew why the emperor sent people to capture Lin Zhou.

Mother Shen's face froze slightly, and under Mother Shen's angry glare, she said angrily: "I don't know which damn idiot is talking nonsense, saying that our Lin Zhou is a deserter."

"Deserter?" Father Shen was stunned for a moment, becoming more and more confused. He could not help but said gloomily, "Explain clearly."

……

Cheng Hong imprisoned Shen Linzhou in the Ministry of Justice and would make a decision after the emperor woke up.

The subordinates behind him looked at their commander who asked them to go back to sleep, and their lips twitched silently.

Fortunately, they believed the commander's words: The emperor was anxious to see Shen Linzhou!

If you think about it carefully, Shen Linzhou is a deserter, why is the emperor in such a hurry to see him? It's the dead of night, and he is seeking death by disturbing the emperor's rest for such a waste.

Anyway, the people have been captured and it’s only a few hours until dawn.

Thinking of this, everyone left without any psychological burden.

They are all small guards and obey the commander.

The next day, the winter sun shone faintly through the white cotton window screen, as thin as a layer of glass gauze, soft and light.

"The Princess of the County was very smart. Commander Cheng really caught the Third Young Master of the Shen Family sneaking back home outside the Shen Mansion last night." Qing Cheng dutifully reported the gossip he had caught to Gu Zhiyin: "Lord Shen only found out the whole story when Commander Cheng arrested him. He fainted on the spot. The Shen Family is in chaos now."
