When Manager Zhang saw the things on the ground, he gritted his teeth in anger. His throat felt like a stink bug was stuck and he felt extremely nauseous. After taking the marriage certificate handed over by Liu Wu, he looked at the bloodstain on it and began to tremble with anger.

"Zhang Qiong, the evidence is all here! What else do you have to quibble about? What else do you have to say!"

Zhang Qiong crawled on the ground and said, "Sir, I have a marriage certificate. I did not force her. Please make the decision. I took her in out of kindness. If it weren't for me, she would have died long ago!"

His son Zhang Fugui and his daughter Zhang Huaer also knelt down and kowtowed, "Please investigate!"

Zhang Fugui said, "Sir, please forgive my father. My father took my mother in. Otherwise, how could she be so energetic and still alive?"

Zhang Huaer also said fearfully, "Sir, my father is very good to my mother. Please forgive my father."

Mr. Zhang said coldly, "Oh! Your mother is obviously malnourished! You said to take good care of her! Open your eyes and look carefully. Who are those iron chains and the big crossbar used to tie her up? They look like they have been there for a long time! And where did the bloodstain on the marriage certificate come from? If you don't recognize her, I have many talented people here who can force you to recognize her!"

Zhang Qiong looked at these things and gritted his teeth, "My lord, these are not true, they are all fake. I took her in out of kindness. These must have been forged by the yamen runners!"

A yamen runner said angrily, "Who do you think you are to be worthy of my forgery? We brought people from the Ministry of Justice and rode for several days to get this from your house! Bah, disgusting thing! If we weren't so many people, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get it out!"

Lord Zhang got even angrier when he heard this. Seeing that he was still stubborn, he said directly, "Punish me, beat me, beat me hard!"

When several yamen runners came over with court sticks, Zhang Qiong shrank back in fear and said, "Sir, please don't hit me. Please don't hit me. I will tell you everything!"

Master Zhang was full of regret that he couldn't beat him again, and said, "Go ahead!"

The two yamen runners next to him took a step back with their court sticks and looked at Zhang Qiong coldly.

Zhang Qiong choked up and said, "Sir, I found her on the roadside, so I brought her home. I saw that she was unconscious, and I thought that I was lame and one eye was blind, and I couldn't find a wife, so I kept her. I really wanted to treat her well, but she tried to run away several times, so I tied her up."

When Bu Mingzhen heard his light words, the hatred in her eyes became more intense. She took a few steps forward and slapped her in the face, but Zhang Qiong was too weak and did not bleed at all.

Zhang Qiong covered his beaten face and cursed fiercely, "You crazy woman, how dare you hit me? I am your husband, how dare you do that?"

Zhang Fugui also stopped in front of his mother and said, "Mom, you should regard your husband as your God. How dare you hit Dad?"

Zhang Huaer also spoke up, "That's right! Mom, you are not crazy again!"

Bu Mingzhen looked at the two with disappointment, "Get lost, you are just as dirty, disgusting!"

Bu's mother, father and eldest brother were shaking with anger. They rushed forward, pulled the two younger ones apart, and started fighting Zhang Qiong.

Brother Bu kicked Zhang Qiong's wound hard.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan did not say anything to stop him. She turned her head and looked at the handkerchief in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Manager Zhang lowered his head and said nothing, pretending he saw nothing.

The bailiffs nearby looked relieved, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

It was not until Zhang Qiong couldn't even shout anymore that Liu Yanyan spoke, "Let's continue the trial."

Lord Zhang then raised his head and said, "This marriage certificate has obvious flaws. The marriage certificate between Zhang Qiong and Bu Mingzhen is invalid. The two are not husband and wife."

Zhang Qiong wanted to refute, but was slapped in the face by the yamen runner.

Zhang Qiong spat out a mouthful of blood and a tooth, then said indignantly, "Bu Mingzhen, as long as I have a breath left, I will not let you go!"

Bu Mingzhen took a step back in fear, but Big Brother Bu stopped her and said, "I'm here." He turned to Zhang Qiong and said, "I'll beat you every time I see you."

Mr. Zhang coughed twice and then said, "Zhang Qiong is guilty of kidnapping, imprisonment, and rape. He is sentenced to death for multiple crimes. The execution will be carried out after the Ministry of Justice reviews it."

Zhang Qiong lost all his energy and begged, "Sir, sir, I saved her out of kindness, I don't deserve to die!"

Lord Zhang said coldly, "I look at the evidence. I cannot believe your one-sided statement. All the evidence will be sent to the Ministry of Justice. They will conduct an in-depth investigation and all those involved in this case will be punished accordingly."

Zhang Qiong looked at Zhang Fugui and Zhang Huaer and said, "You must avenge your father. This vicious woman deliberately harmed me! You must avenge me!"

Zhang Fugui and Zhang Huaer nodded vigorously in agreement.

Lord Zhang looked at Bu Mingzhen and saw that she had no mercy on him. He spoke again, "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to take revenge. Zhang Fugui and Zhang Huaer have repeatedly prevented Bu Mingzhen from escaping. They are accomplices in this case and will be exiled to Ningguta as slaves for generations."

Zhang Fugui and Zhang Huaer knelt down in fear and said, "Sir, please have mercy on us! We didn't, we really didn't stop mother from leaving!"

Bu Mingzhen rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and said coldly, "Didn't it you two who tried to stop me and hit me? You don't forget what happened before, do you? I remember it clearly, and I won't let you go!"

Zhang Fugui: "Mom, how can you be so cruel?"

Zhang Huaer: "Mother, you don't want Huaer anymore! Don't you love Huaer the most?"

Bu Mingzhen said coldly, "I regret it. I regret not killing you in my stomach. I didn't expect that you would become the knives in his hands, stabbing me again and again!"

Zhang Qiong couldn't help but say, "Bu Mingzhen, how could you bear to let them go? They are the flesh and blood of your belly!"

"Why should I be reluctant? They help you and hurt me time and time again. They are no longer my children!"

Seeing that Lord Zhang was slow to speak, Liu Yanyan said, "Now transfer Zhang Qiong, Zhang Fugui, and Zhang Huaer to the Ministry of Justice. After filing these evidences, transfer them as well."

Several yamen runners suddenly knelt down and said, "Yes, sir. I obey your command."

After saying this, they took a thick hemp rope, tied up Zhang Qiong and his companions, and dragged them out.

When Bu Mingzhen saw this scene, she finally smiled, but as she smiled, tears appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan said, "Don't cry! All the suffering is over, and the road ahead will be smooth! The Ministry of Justice will act quickly, don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Bu Mingzhen excitedly fell to his knees. Father Bu and Mother Bu also knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, gentlemen, for making the decision for me. Thank you, gentlemen, for making the decision for me!"

Just as Liu Yanyan was about to speak, she heard Zhang, the head of the criminal department, say, "Please stand up quickly. I will keep an eye on this case in the Ministry of Justice. You should take good care of yourself. I will take you to see the master later. The master has been thinking about you!"

Bu Mingzhen looked at Mr. Zhang and nodded slightly, her face full of tears. "Okay, I will take good care of my body and go to see the master again. It would be unfilial of me to make him worry."

Liu Yanyan saw the two of them reminiscing about the past, and then she left with her guards.
