After concluding the trial of Tián Shè, Zhao Lie turned around, slammed his palm down on the iron block, and barked at Zhao Jian, "Criminal Zhao Jian! As the Imperial Envoy, you disregarded the boundless grace of the Emperor and failed to solve his worries. Instead, you came to Yelang and accepted massive bribes! Tell me, Zhao Jian, how should you be punished according to the laws of Great Chu?"
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Jian retorted, "Tián Shè is talking nonsense! This Prince did not accept any bribes!"
"Oh, really? Head Steward Cang, please make a trip to Yelang Restaurant, retrieve his ill-gotten gains, and by the way, rescue the Thirteenth Princess and bring her here! Kidnapping and detaining a member of the imperial family is a capital offense. Even though you are an imperial prince, a prince who breaks the law is punished just like a commoner!" Zhao Lie shouted.
