Been taken as a spy!

  "This..." Tang Lin was asked somewhat suddenly, but she wasn't a hesitant person, responding to every matter, always very decisive, even when it came to emotional matters. "As for knowledgeable people, I..."

  "Where's the man?" A man's voice came from a short distance away, interrupting Tang Lin's words.

  Unable to get a timely response from Tang Lin, Yu Sheng Jun was slightly disappointed. If not for that damned voice interrupting, he should have known Tang Lin's answer by now.

  When the Holy Emperor's slightly angry gaze looked towards the outside of the prison gate, Deputy General Shen had already brought a military officer to come. They walked to the entrance of the prison and stopped their footsteps there.

  "General, these two people are highly likely to be spies impersonating our dynasty's Saintly and Enlightened Ruler!"

  This military officer, like Shen Deputy General, was in his forties, with a rugged face and a sturdy build. He wore armor and a helmet, exuding an aura of dominance and intimidation. The most striking feature on him was the thick black beard that covered his entire face.

  The military officer stood at the door, looked at Tang Lin and Yu Sheng Jun one by one, and said in a loud voice: "I ask you, who sent you here?"

  Tang Lin's face turned cold, "You've caught the wrong person, how are we supposed to answer?"

  The officer raised a piece of silk cloth from his hand, biting his mouth, "The true evidence is here, traitor, how dare you quibble?"

  Tang Lin turned her face away, too lazy to argue, "Anyway, it's not ours!"

  The officer said: "This spy, he impersonated our dynasty's emperor, sneaked into the front line of battle to issue orders, if it weren't for our General Sha Ke and Sha Yuan exposing his true face, I'm afraid our border's million-strong army would have been destroyed at your hands!"

  When the military officer finished speaking, the Holy Emperor's dark eyes were deep and bottomless, yet faintly gleaming with a cold light. Behind that cold light was a terrifying thunderous fury that made one's hair stand on end.

  Something like this has happened at the border, how can the Emperor not be enraged?

  Tang Lin understood the implication of Wu Guan's words. "So, you've been chasing a spy all the way from the border to the Imperial Capital?"

  The officer nodded, "Correct. After General Shao saw through the fake emperor's trickery, this spy escaped into our dynasty's borders. General Shao ordered us to capture the spy alive, so we've been chasing him all the way from the border to the imperial capital, and finally surrounded him at the Xijiang Moon Inn. If you're not spies, why do you have a spy's things?"

  "But you've really got the wrong person," Tang Lin said again.

  The military officer shook his head, with a certain expression, "No, we didn't catch the wrong person, but caught the right one. You are an accomplice, but not the real impersonator of the emperor, but..." Then, his gaze fell unceremoniously on Yu Shengjun who had been silent all along, "And you, are the traitor!"

  "Hey, that's going too far!" Although Tang Lin knew whether Yu Sheng Jun was a spy or not, she couldn't stand others framing him, so she stood up for him, "He is not a spy!"

  The military officer sneered with a smile, "Is it? We'll know once we've interrogated him!"

  Outside, the watchman's drumming sound came again, "Close doors and windows, beware of fire, the fourth watch has arrived!"

  Yu Sheng Jun, who was originally unwilling to speak out, heard the watchman's voice and no longer remained silent. He looked at the military officer and asked, "When will the trial be?"

  The military officer was slightly surprised by the expression of Yu Shengjun, "How, do you want me to interrogate you at night? If you don't confess, we will torture you severely. Aren't you afraid?"

  His Majesty's eyes were calm, his eyebrows didn't even furrow, and his words were cold and flat. "I have a clear conscience, what do I fear from interrogation? Stop stalling, if you're going to interrogate me, then do it now!"

  "What if..." Tang Lin worried that Emperor Sheng would suffer in the future, she deeply knew that the cruel punishments inside ancient prisons were not just empty words.

  The holy king gave her a reassuring smile and said softly: "The innocent will be cleared, we will leave safely!"

  Then, Tang Lin watched as Yu Sheng Jun was taken away by Wu Guan and Shen Deputy General.

  They took Yu Shengjun into a detention room and locked his four limbs with iron chains.

  Just as they were about to interrogate the Holy Emperor, he suddenly said: "I know the Minister of Justice, please ask him to come, and I will confess everything!"
