head slightly and got up to stand in the middle of the main hall.As she rose, the atmosphere in Kangtai Hall, which had been lively with conversation just moments ago, instantly fell silent. Everyone...Chapter 35: Confession

Li Chen turned his head and said to Chen Tong, who was beside him with a shocked expression: "Go, get another basin of water and more than ten towels over here."

Chen Tong immediately took the order and went to get what Li Chen wanted.

At this moment, Zhao Ze you looked at Li Chen with eyes filled with terror. He croaked out in a hoarse voice, "Why Why I was already willing to confess! Why do you still torture me Are you even human or a devil!"

Li Chen ignored him and calmly instructed Chen Tong, "Soak the towels in water, then slowly cover his face one by one."

Chen Tong was confused, but he still faithfully carried out the order.

Having witnessed the effectiveness of Li Chen's silver needle technique, he was filled with admiration and respect for him.

This towel doesn't look nearly as impressive or intimidating as the silver needles, but Chen Tong inexplicably felt that this thing's effects were probably greater.

Glancing at Zhao Rui, whose face had turned pale, Li Chen patted her buttocks and said, "What's wrong Scared"

Zhao Rui cautiously asked, "Your Highness, he has already confessed everything, why do we still need to use torture"

A person won't speak their true words until they are truly desperate. This palace doesn't have the time to verify if what he said is true or false, so I can only wait until he is truly desperate and willing to confess before I listen to his words.

By the time Li Jin finished speaking, Chen Tong had already covered Zhao Ze You's face with the third towel.

The waterlogged towel, heavy and thick, had completely covered Zhao Zeyou's mouth and nose. He was already gasping for air due to the intense pain, but now he was completely cut off from it. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't draw in even a single breath.

Zhao Ze's desperate struggles and kicking only served to heighten the feeling of imminent death. With each breath, he felt his lungs slowly suffocating, the last vestiges of air being consumed until nothing remained. This sensation brought upon him a terror far surpassing that of the silver needles or bee stings he had endured before, plunging him into an abyss of despair.

At this point, even the bystanders were able to see the prowess of this move.

Chen Tong's eyes lit up, and he was almost in awe of Li Chen.

As Zhao ZeYOU was suffocating to the point of death for the third time, Li Chen ordered Chen Tong to remove the towel.

This time, Chen Tong, who had caught his breath, was completely out of strength and hope.

Seeing that Li Chen seemed about to order another attack, Zhao Ze You’s eyes showed deep fear. He squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body and roared frantically: "It was Liu Bin Cheng!"

“Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, Liu Bin, conspired with me to commit this crime!”

"Now the four million taels of silver are in the Beidaying camp of the Imperial Guards north of Beijing!"

Zhao Ze You's words plunged the entire Xi Zheng Hall exterior into an eerie silence.

The matter involved the Imperial Guards, who, as the most powerful military force guarding the capital region, have been composed of the most elite soldiers since the founding of this dynasty.

Thirty thousand Imperial Guards, they relate to military affairs of great importance. No one dares to speak carelessly about this matter.

With a resolute look of death on his face, Zhao Ze you stared at Li Chen, his eyes filled with the crazy venom. He said: "Besides the Imperial Guard, who has the ability to rob four million taels of silver at the junction between Tongxian and Beijing, and then disappear without a trace"

Besides the Imperial Guard, who else would have the audacity to do such a thing

"Whether I am telling the truth or not, you just need to send someone to investigate at Beidaying."

After finishing his words, Zhao Zeyou let out a burst of hearty laughter, "What if I told you Dare you intervene You may be the Crown Prince Regent, but even the Emperor has things he's afraid to do, let alone you. So even if you knew, you couldn't change anything! Hahaha!"ror during their tenure that leads to severe consequences, they are unlikely to receive the lowest rating.He Kun did not make any major mistakes, nor did he cause any serious consequences. He was just...
