Ji Zhen bowed his head calmly and followed Li Yuanzhen's words:

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Li Yuanzhen did not answer, she just stared at Yu Bojun. Without Li Yuanzhen's answer, Ji Zhen naturally could not get up, and the whole dungeon suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Ji Zhen lowered her head and looked at Lu Ziyan, who was lying beside Li Yuanzhen, breathing weakly, and couldn't help but complain in her heart:

You really don't know until you see it, this Li Yuanzhen is really amazing! Before, I saw her showing off and taking good care of Lu Ziyan, and I thought she was very affectionate to her husband, but I didn't expect that she would faint without hesitation.

But you can faint if you want. I will let you do it for the sake of your husband not to be harmed by Sui Sui You. But you stared at Yu Bojun in front of Lu Ziyan who fainted. It's not right no matter how you look at it! This is a dungeon! Not the back garden of the East Palace!

Just as Ji Zhen was complaining crazily, Li Yuanying's voice rang out impatiently:

"I say, sister, will this case be tried or not?"

If there was anyone who hated Yu Bojun, it would definitely be Li Yuanying. In terms of her aesthetics, her dislike for Yu Bojun was physical, she simply thought he was ugly.

Li Yuanying likes men like Yunzi, who are beautiful as a good girl and gentle as water. Her princess mansion is full of men of this type. So when she saw Li Yuanzhen staring at Yu Bojun, she felt cheap.

She couldn't understand why a royal noble like her, especially a princess, would like such an ugly thing!

The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. But Li Yuanzhen ignored her and just smiled at Ji Zhen, asking her to stand up, and gave Yu Bojun a seat and some tea.

Ji Zhen was so touched by her attentive care that she even wanted to remind her: This is the torture hall! Not the back garden of the East Palace!

Ji Zhen's helpless eyes collided with Li Yuanying's indignant eyes. Li Yuanying glared at Ji Zhen fiercely and cursed:

"It's useless. You can't even try a case. You're just wasting my time here."

Ji Zhen became unhappy when Li Yuanying said this.

He stood up, took the gavel from Li Yuanzhen's case, and apologized: "Your Highness, I will continue."

After that, the gavel slammed heavily on the table without any warning, and everyone in the execution hall was shocked.

"Tian Fugui."

Ji Zhen pointed his finger at the man tied to the torture device and said coldly:

"You stole the Northwest Defense Plan, drew it, and sold it in the market, leaking military secrets and damaging our South Vietnam's military defense. This is a serious crime. According to the law, you should be punished with nine generations of your clan. Do you plead guilty?"

"Nine tribes?"

Tian Fugui suddenly looked up and immediately looked at Li Yuanzhen, and suddenly panicked.

"I didn't steal it! I used the Northwest Defense Sketch given to me by someone else. I just wanted to make a little money! How did it leak military secrets and damage the military defense? I am innocent! Unjust!"

Tian Fugui was extremely panicked. This was different from what was agreed upon! Didn't they say that even if something went wrong and he was convicted, his family would not be implicated? How come it has now become a case of implicating all the clan members?

"You didn't steal it? Then tell me, who gave it to you?"

Ji Zhen's voice was very gentle, but to Tian Fugui it sounded like a blunt knife cutting his flesh.

"Yes...it's someone from Princess Xian Yao's mansion." Tian Fugui said firmly.

"Oh, is this the guy?"

Ji Zhen signaled Ye Feng to drag Zhang Quansheng to Tian Fugui's front and lift his head. Tian Fugui nodded vigorously without even looking at him. Ji Zhen smiled, took a step closer, and said to Tian Fugui meaningfully:

"Boss Tian, ​​is this really the person? Take another look."

Ji Zhen didn't know when a whip appeared in her hand, and she tapped it gently, frightening Tian Fugui so much that his legs went limp. He just nodded vigorously and said:

"It's him! He gave me money to buy the Northwest Defense Map!"

"What I'm asking is, was he the one who sold you the sketch? Think of your answer carefully. If you answer wrong, your entire clan will be punished."

Ji Zhen asked questions word by word, and Tian Fugui felt cold all over. He looked at Li Yuanzhen with trembling eyes, but was frightened by the cold light in Li Yuanzhen's eyes. For a while, his mouth trembled and he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing his expression, Ji Zhen snorted coldly, took a step back, waved at Yu Bojun, and said:

"It seems that Mr. Tian has a bad memory. In that case, I will help you recall it."

Yu Bojun walked a few steps outside and said in a deep voice to the guard standing outside:

"Bring it in."

Li Yuanzhen and Li Yuanying turned around at the same time when they heard the sound, and saw two guards carrying a very thin man in, while another guard was escorting a woman.

When the man was put down in front of the execution hall, Li Yuanzhen's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Tian Fugui's face was completely pale, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Zhen.

Ji Zhen took in everyone's expressions, smiled, lifted Tian Fugui's head with the black whip handle in his hand, and said:

"Take a good look at this man. Does he look familiar to you? Is he the man who gave you the sketch of the Northwest Defense Map?"

Tian Fugui was trembling and unable to speak. But at this moment, Li Yuanzhen spoke. She did not turn off the man lying on the ground. She only pointed at the woman who was kneeling on the ground and huddled together and asked Yu Bojun:

"Young General, who is this person?"

"This is Tian Fugui's shop assistant. It's Tian Fugui that she brought this man to see." Yu Bojun pointed at the man on the ground.

Li Yuanzhen's sharp eyes immediately turned to the woman, who was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed, saying repeatedly while kowtowing:

"It was I who introduced that gentleman to Shopkeeper Tian, ​​because my family was poor. That gentleman said he was working for the royal family and had an important business deal. He offered as much money as he wanted! I was blinded by greed and thought that working for the royal family would be a good thing! So I introduced him to the shopkeeper. But who knew they were doing such a thing! If I had known that they were getting the defense map, I would have reported it to the authorities at all costs!"

"Nonsense! How could His Majesty send someone to do such a thing? You must be talking nonsense! Someone, come and slap him in the face!"

Li Yuanying flew into a rage before she could finish her words. The woman was so frightened that she shouted:

"I'm not talking nonsense! I have evidence. He told the shopkeeper that he is a member of the Eastern Palace. As long as the shopkeeper gets things done for him, he will also be considered a member of the Eastern Palace. With the protection of the Eastern Palace in Beijing, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"What nonsense!" Li Yuanzhen said angrily.

"I'm not talking nonsense! What I said is true! He also said that he has the mark of the Eastern Palace on him, and that he can give the shopkeeper a beating in the future and make him a good dog!"

The woman cried out, fearing that no one would believe what she said and that her life would be in danger. Li Yuanzhen's face was extremely ugly, but at this time, Li Yuanying sneered and said:

"Whether what he said is true or not, you will know it after he takes off his clothes. Someone, take off his clothes for me!"
