Although there was not a single word exchanged, as Qian Shiyan's confidant, Ge Pingyi had already understood the threat in that sinister look.
Gritting his teeth, Ge Pingyi said nothing.
He knew he was finished.
But he still has family.
If he sells Qian Shiyan, then Qian Shiyan will have many ways to deal with his family.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Ge Pingyi did not dare to gamble with the lives of his entire family.
And this scene is all in Li Chen's eyes.
He said indifferently: "Ge Pingyi, if you don't tell me, then all this will end with you."
Before Qian Shiyan could breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, he heard Li Chen continue: "But you must bear the ultimate responsibility for everything. You have despised the laws of the empire, messed up the rules and regulations of our empire, and corrupted the law. This
If you're a serious person, it's enough to copy your family."
"You are the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Please tell me, how will your clan be divided into different grades?"
Ge Pingyi's expression was pale, and he said in a difficult tone: "They are divided into three levels according to their severity. The first level is rebellion, the unpardonable crime of regicide, and the nine tribes will be punished."
"The second category is the crime of gross disrespect, deceiving the emperor and neglecting the superior, the Yi tribe."
"The third class is for disobeying the emperor and causing trouble for the government. The entire family will be executed. Within the three tribes, the men will be exiled thousands of miles away, the women of the right age will be used as official prostitutes, and all the tribesmen will be cast into slavery."
The more Ge Pingyi spoke, the uglier his face became.
This kind of threat, even if Li Chen didn't say a word, the meaning was already vivid on the page.
It was this unspoken threat that frightened Ge Pingyi even more.
"If you are just an accomplice, I will still take your head off, but your family will not be killed. Your wife and daughter can still go back to their hometown and live out the rest of their lives in peace."
Li Chen looked at Ge Pingyi and said calmly: "You have to weigh it clearly."
Li Chen's words not only put great psychological pressure on Ge Pingyi, but also made Qian Shiyan next to him furious.
He had been partnering with Ge Pingyi for many years, and he knew Ge Pingyi's temperament very well. He also knew that Ge Pingyi would not be able to withstand such a threat from the prince.
Thinking of this, Qian Shiyan didn't care much. He suddenly opened his mouth and shouted at Ge Pingyi: "Ge Pingyi! Didn't you hear His Highness ask you? If there is really someone behind you who is instigating you, wake up quickly and call him for it. Maybe His Highness will still
I can treat you lightly, but if you are stubborn and stubborn, you will be punished severely!"
After finishing speaking, Qian Shiyan stared at Ge Pingyi, the fierce light in his eyes almost overflowing.
"Ge Pingyi, you have to think clearly! Answer His Highness's questions carefully!"
Qian Shiyan almost squeezed out this sentence word by word from between his teeth.
When Ge Pingyi saw this, he became even more frightened.
But just when Qian Shiyan's words were about to fall to the ground, Li Chen kicked Qian Shiyan to the ground with a fierce kick.
"I haven't said a few words, but you have said more than me. Why, you are the one who makes the decision now?"
Li Chen looked at Qian Shiyan who was lying on the ground coldly, turned to Ge Pingyi and said: "Since you have been undecided for so long, then that's all, Sanbao, take my handwriting and take Ge Pingyi's whole family to Dongchang Prison.
.”
With a cold smile, Li Chen said: "The reason why we need evidence is just because I want to handle things smoothly, but it doesn't mean that I can't handle things without evidence."
