Wang Tenghuan finally realized that what happened today was definitely not as simple as the prince regretting it and not wanting the ninth prince to gain fame.
This is about taking the opportunity to do great things.
So it is destined that this matter will never end so simply.
At this time, even though Wang Tenghuan had been in the officialdom for decades and had already mastered the skills of not losing his temper even when the mountains collapsed before his eyes, Wang Tenghuan was also experiencing turmoil in his heart.
Li Chen didn't even bother to look at Wang Tenghuan. He turned to look at Jiang Zhou and said coldly: "Jiang Zhou, I will not induce you to confess. I will tell you clearly today. With these things in the porridge factory, you
There is no way to escape death today."
"But you still have the opportunity to choose how to die. If you tell me honestly who is involved in corruption and how it works, I will give you a happy life."
At this point, Li Chen's tone suddenly turned cold, and he said: "But if you are still lucky, then you will wait to be executed by Ling Chi. At Ling Chi, you can watch your clan members accompany you one after another.
Let’s hit the road together!”
"When the time comes, you can see if those people you are desperately trying to protect now will shed a tear for you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhou's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid. Huge, indescribable terror enveloped his whole body. He actually forgot about the pain for the time being.
He didn't expect that Li Chen actually wanted to kill him.
And Wang Tenghuan didn't expect this.
Although Jiang Zhou handled the matter single-handedly, it involved several departments and dozens of imperial officials. The positions of those officials may not be high enough, but they are all people with vital joints. He has painstakingly arranged it over the years.
Falling hands.
Therefore, nothing should happen to Jiang Zhou.
Even if Jiang Zhou dies, he must not break the big net behind him, otherwise the consequences...Wang Tenghuan feels cold all over just thinking about it.
Before Jiang Zhou could speak, Wang Tenghuan hurriedly interjected: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. This is really not the place for interrogation. It is better to return to the court first and hand Jiang Zhou over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After that, the three departments will interrogate. If Jiang Zhou is really guilty.
, Lao Chen will definitely be the first to not let him go!"
This was said so mellowly and delicately that no one could find fault with it.
But Li Chen ignored him.
Handed over to the Ministry of Punishment?
Trial by three agencies?
Which of these yamen is not controlled by the cabinet Zhao Xuanji and Wang Tenghuan?
If he does this, it is guaranteed that Jiang Zhou will disappear from the world that night and will never be found again.
"Jiang Zhou, I'm asking you something! Why don't you tell me honestly!"
Li Chen stopped shouting, causing Jiang Zhou, who still had a glimmer of hope, to tremble.
"If you don't say anything, then I will send people to your house first, capture your family members one by one, and kill them one by one in front of you. I guarantee that their death will be very painful, and
If you, Jiang Zhou, serve as an official, not only will you not be able to benefit your family, but you will also bring trouble to them. Is this what you want?"
Li Chen's words shattered Jiang Zhou's last hope.
With a look of horror on his face, he shouted: "No! Your Highness, Wei Chen's family members are all innocent!"
"Whether you are innocent or not, I will make my own judgment, but if you don't tell the truth, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Chen pressed forward step by step.
Jiang Zhou opened his mouth to speak.
Wang Tenghuan suddenly stood in front of Li Chen, his eyes widened and his hair and beard bulging, and he shouted angrily: "Prince! You are trying to provoke the entire court!"
After these words, Li Chen and Wang Tenghuan were completely at odds. If there was no outcome today, Li Chen's dignity as the crown prince would be gone and his face would be disgraced.
So Li Chen's response was also very simple and crude.
