This cut will deprive him of what is most important to a man, but it won't kill him.
He still has to live well to atone for his sins.
Yun Duoduo looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. [Duoduo's work is always top-notch!]
Jin Jinzhi was stunned, and the guards behind him felt a sudden tightness in their groins.
Who would have thought that the Ninth Princess, with her gentle, harmless, pure, and innocent face, would be so ruthless when she gets into a fight...
So fierce and ruthless...
When Cao Canjun arrived, he couldn't help but shudder at the sight of the people inside the room.
My God, that's terrifying!
It's all a bloody mess!
And why does this wall look like it's covered in blood?!
"General Jin, Princess, are you alright?" Military Advisor Cao strode in.
"fine."
“Princess, this Tan Biao…” Jin Jinzhi glanced at Tan Biao, who was lying motionless on the ground.
"Don't worry, she won't die."
When will he wake up?
"We'll give him the medicine when we've taken care of everything and want him to wake up."
Have you got everything sorted out?
"He won't die from blood loss, will he?" Cao Canjun hesitated for a moment, looking at Tan Biao's trousers stained with blood.
"After all, he is an important official of the court. If he is to die, it should be by order of His Majesty."
"No, I know how to handle things," Yun Duoduo said confidently.
Don't worry.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo showed no sign of leaving, Jin Jinzhi spoke up.
"I'll take you back to the palace first, Your Majesty. I'm very worried about your safety."
"Wait a minute, we can't just leave like this, there's one more thing."
We must see this through to the end; we need to get to the bottom of Tan Biao's matter.
"In the Marquis of Chi Nan's residence, there is a dry well that may contain many skeletons. We need to find that dry well."
The remains of all the orphaned girls who only went in and never came out should be at the bottom of this well.
In such a vast royal mansion, only someone like Tan Biao, whose fate is fraught with misfortune, would dare to live in this mansion of the Marquis of Chi Nan, which is filled with wandering souls and reeks of blood.
Jin Jinzhi opened her mouth in confusion, "A dry well?"
Yun Duoduo noticed that the two maids guarding the door were kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling.
The two maids did not take advantage of the chaos to escape.
That's true. There are soldiers fighting everywhere outside. If they're not careful, they'll be hacked to death. They won't be able to escape much anyway.
She went to the two maids and helped them up.
"Don't be afraid, Marquis Chi Nan, this time there's no escaping."
“From now on, you don’t need to follow him and commit any more sins.”
“If you are willing to tell what you know, you will not be punished along with your master. I can plead with the Emperor on your behalf and spare your lives.”
In Nanyang, if the master is guilty, the servants are guilty slaves and must die with their master.
Yun Duoduo patiently persuaded them to help find evidence of Tan Biao's utter depravity.
After a long silence, one of the maids spoke up, "Princess, please ask."
This maid was the same one who had previously refused and dared not reveal the truth.
Her voice was low, and you could hear her fear, hatred, and determination to get it all out.
"Just now, I heard Tan Biao say that there is a dry well. Where is it?" Yun Duoduo grasped the maid's arm.
"You should know which dry well I'm talking about."
The maidservant stiffened, her eyes filled with sorrow and fear.
"That dry well is right next to where I took you to the toilet."
She was so close, how could she not see her?!
I was probably too nervous at the time.
"The dry well is covered with weeds, so outsiders can't see it," the maid added.
No wonder.
“Brother Jinzhi, the body buried in the dry well should be that of the missing dancer. We need to send some brave people to the bottom of the well to dig out the remains.”
Jin Jinzhi nodded; finally, there was evidence of Tan Biao's crimes.
After settling the others in the mansion, Military Advisor Cao also came over. Hearing their conversation, he shrugged.
In the dead of night, with a chilling wind blowing, she still has to dig up corpses. The princess is truly audacious!
"Military Advisor Cao, take a few men and go check at the bottom of that dry well," Jin Jinzhi said to Military Advisor Cao.
Military Advisor Cao swallowed hard. [Could we please find someone else?!]
Although these men are all young and vigorous, the Chi Nan Marquis's residence is filled with an overwhelming sense of yin energy!
Military Advisor Cao steeled himself and headed towards the outhouse. He waved his hand and led a few soldiers to find the dry well.
The night was cool, with gusts of cold wind, and the moonlight was eerily cold.
"Also, Sumire-nii-san, look at this shrine maiden statue."
Jin Jinzhi and the guards behind him looked in the direction Yun Duoduo was pointing, and saw that in the shadows of the torture chamber, there was a statue of a strange witch with a ferocious expression and a terrifying face...
“Brother Jinzhi, that looks like witchcraft.”
In Nanyang, the use of witchcraft is forbidden. In the past, when concubines in the imperial harem were vying for the emperor's favor, witchcraft killed many people.
Given Tan Biao's violations of Nanyang's laws, even with accomplices pleading for him, and even if the Tan family wanted to protect him, it was impossible.
Tan Biao can't escape!
Jin Jinzhi stared at the statue for a while, "These are all evidence; they must be kept safe."
“After sorting out each and every matter and reporting it to Father Emperor, Tan Biao will definitely not be able to escape this time.”
"You all stay here and guard this place. No one is allowed to come in," Jin Jinzhi instructed.
These certifications and physical evidence must be kept safe, and they should be brought to court when His Majesty summons them.
"When Military Advisor Cao returns in a while, tell him that once the Imperial Guards arrive, these matters can be handed over to them for handling."
"Yes, General Jin, don't worry."
"I will keep a close watch on this evidence," said Military Advisor Cao.
After explaining their situation, Yun Duoduo and Jin Jinzhi left the torture chamber.
...
Half an incense stick later, Tan Biao, who had been locked in the torture chamber, woke up. He first opened his eyes in a daze, and then felt a sharp pain coming from his lower body.
What's going on?
How did it get like this?
He was speechless with shock. His manhood! Who dared to do such a thing to his manhood?!
He was trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
What about that brat?
He looked around but didn't see the Ninth Princess. Instead, he saw a group of people surrounding him.
Those people were wearing clothes that felt unfamiliar to him.
This is not someone from his household!
This is utterly disgusting and rotten.
He closed his eyes and tried to recall, hoping it wasn't all real.
All he remembered was rushing towards the Ninth Princess and then fainting.
"Oh, Marquis Chi Nan is awake?"
Military Advisor Cao instructed Steward Zhen to find a doctor from the manor to examine Tan Biao.
Tan Biao reluctantly opened his eyes, and what he saw was real.
"Are you Jin Jinzhi's lackey?"
He glanced at Military Advisor Cao with disdain.
