Meanwhile, Jin Jinzhi led several guards on horseback to the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence.
Upon arriving at the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence, Jin Jin dismounted.
"Oh, General Jin, your presence so late at night is an honor for this old servant!"
"This is what Zhen Quede, the steward of the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence, said."
He bowed respectfully, but his eyes were darting around Jin Jinzhi.
Tan Biao had instructed that if Jin Jinzhi brought the capital to force his way into the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence, he should quickly ride to the palace to complain to His Majesty, saying that Jin Jinzhi intended to harm an important court official.
But……
Zhen Quede frowned deeply. He looked carefully at the alley entrance again, but didn't see a trace of the capital.
Should we go to His Majesty to complain in this situation?
The Marquis didn't say anything either!
What should we do?
Zhen Quede clasped his hands together, somewhat unsure of what to do.
"Who are you?" Jin Jinzhi asked, looking at the person at the gate of the mansion.
"This humble servant is Zhen Quede, the steward of the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence."
[Is that really unethical?]
"Military Advisor Cao, tie up this Steward Zhen!" Jin Jinzhi ordered, suppressing his anger.
He was very worried about Yun Duoduo's safety. Tan Biao was a fearless man, and he was afraid that Tan Biao would harm Yun Duoduo.
And Zhen's despicable face only made him more annoyed.
"Yes, General Jin!"
Military Advisor Cao strode forward, grabbed Zhen Quede by the collar, dragged him to Jin Jinzhi, threw him to the ground, and tied his hands.
"General Jin, let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"
Zhen Quede was so frightened that his jaw was trembling and he was covered in cold sweat.
The men in the barracks were all strong and robust. When Cao, the military advisor, lifted Zhen Quede, it was as easy as lifting a chick.
Zhen Quede was thrown heavily to the ground, his bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart.
"Tell me, where is the princess?"
Seeing that Zhen Quede was pretending to be stupid, Jin Jinzhi stepped on Zhen Quede's body.
The Marquis of Chi Nan's mansion has harmed so many people over the years, it's impossible for this old steward to have clean hands.
"This has confused this old servant. Isn't the princess in the palace? Why is she looking for me at the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence?" Zhen Quede continued to argue, appearing quite innocent.
"This is the princess's bracelet. It's right here at the gate of the mansion. Tell me, if the princess isn't inside, why would her bracelet be here?!"
Jin Jinzhi held up the golden crocheted bracelet.
"General Jin, this old servant doesn't know either?" Zhen Quede spread his hands, looking troubled.
Jin Jinzhi glanced at Military Advisor Cao and gave him a meaningful look.
"Old man, are you going to talk or not?!"
Cao Canjun pulled out a dagger and ripped open Zhen Quede's trouser leg, exposing his thick, hairy, and fat leg to everyone.
Cao Canjun slowly scraped Zhen Quede's leg, the dagger not piercing the flesh, but scraping the surface, leaving streaks of blood wherever it went.
"Ah!" A shrill scream echoed through the night.
"pain!"
"If you don't tell me, it won't just be your legs, but also your face, hands, arms, and even your genitals, I'll slash them one by one."
"At that time, Steward Zhen, humph, I think you should be called Crippled Zhen!" Military Advisor Cao sneered.
Zhen Quede gritted his teeth and endured the pain; he dared not speak! If he did, Tan Biao would not forgive him afterward!
He endured the pain in his thigh, and then the pain spread to his arm.
Cao, the military advisor, scraped his arm with a knife without any expression.
Zhen Quede could no longer bear the excruciating pain!
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"Where?!"
“In the backyard.” Zhen Quede gasped and said weakly.
Zhen Quede glanced at Jin Jinzhi and the people behind him again.
They were just ordinary guards. Even if he said the princess was at the Chinnan Marquis's residence, they couldn't break in. The Chinnan army was not to be trifled with.
Moreover, he only said it was in the backyard, and the backyard is so big that they definitely wouldn't be able to find the exact location in a short time.
"Go in and search!"
At Jin Jinzhi's command, a group of people suddenly emerged from the alley.
Zhen Quede was greatly alarmed. "This is...this is the capital?!"
[So Jin Jinzhi had actually hidden someone away?!]
Zhen Quede wanted to send someone to the palace to complain, but it was too late. He was tied up and thrown aside, and the servants and household guards around him were also taken into custody.
After Cao, the military advisor, dealt with everything, he led his men into the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence.
...
Inside the torture chamber of the Marquis of Chi Nan's mansion, Yun Duoduo endured the pain in her chin, feeling as if it were about to be crushed.
She looked at everything in the room, and a surge of anger rose within her.
This bastard's methods of harming people are so cruel!
Tan Biao didn't notice her fierce expression.
"What is your intention in sending leaflets to frame me?"
Tan Biao released her, slowly walked back to his seat, and looked down at her.
You filthy old slut.
What is my intention? Of course, it's to plunge you into an abyss of no return!
However, the most important thing right now is to protect yourself.
Yun Duoduo's mind raced as she pondered how to answer.
"Uncle!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, her eyes closed and her voice strained.
Tan Biao's body visibly stiffened.
What's going on here?
"Uncle, don't you remember Duoduo?"
"Uncle, you've got it wrong. What kind of flyers are these? Duoduo doesn't understand."
