Chapter 375: Scared

Chapter 77: The First Imperial EdictChapter 375: Cowed

"Go investigate this for me."

Pointing at the two fearless and crazed assassins, Li Chen said coldly, “Follow any clue on them, find out their household registration, birthplace, relatives, who is alive and who is dead, trace back their ancestors for eighteen generations!”

"They want to be heroes, fine. They all have parents and relatives, right If their sons are heroes, then their parents and clansmen should come out and bask in the glory."

“I found them, all eighteen generations of their ancestors. Every single one, the dead ones will have their graves dug up and their bones scattered to the wind, the living men will be killed, and the women of marriageable age will be sent into the palace as concubines. Those who are not will be sent to the labor camps in our territory and become slaves, forever forbidden from rising above their station!”

Upon receiving the order, Fatty and Skinny turned pale.

Not to mention them, even the ruthless and experienced Jinyiwei were all terrified.

Such torture could be described as ruthless to the bone.

This is more than just one person committing a crime, the whole family is implicated. It's as if the entire clan is being wiped out.

The fat man raised his head and roared, "Dog Prince, if you dare to do this, I swear I won't let you go even in the afterlife!"

Li Chen sneered, "Don't you even look around and see where you are The capital! The East Palace!"

"The might of heaven, a millennium-old imperial capital! Even if the King of Hell himself came, he would have to pay respects to this palace before leaving!"

Li Chen finished speaking, no longer bothering to glance at them. He waved his hand and said, "Drag them away and have them each try every torture method the Dongchang has. Slowly torment them to death. At least, let them live to see how their own kin are tainted by the glory of these heroes."

The Jinyiwei immediately wanted to arrest the person upon hearing this.

The fat man was yelling and screaming hysterically.

And that thin man, as he was being dragged away by the Jinyiwei's hand on his collarbone, suddenly shouted: "I'll tell! I'll tell!"

"I know everything about the Bai Lian Sect! I'll tell you all!"

The Jinyiwei were shocked.

The Imperial Guard was shocked.

Even Lian Sanzang was astonished.

It is well-known that Bai Lian Jiao members are difficult to persuade.

They didn't even bother trying to pry anything out of the two of them.

But he didn't want to, he wanted the Prince to personally review it. This clearly implied a high-ranking individual within the White Lotus Sect had actually been caught!

The most shocking thing was the thin one's companion.

The fat man's curses abruptly ceased. He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at his brother and roared, "Wu Jiangyi, you dare to betray us!"

The thin man named Wu Jiangyi didn't dare to look at the fat man, he just lowered his head and trembled, "You're an orphan, a scoundrel. But I, I have a mother back home. If I die, it doesn't matter, but they will really be able to find my mother. I can't get her killed..."

The fat man was furious and wanted to curse some more, but the three treasures went over and knocked him unconscious with a single strike.

Then, the three treasures came before Wu Jiangyi and sneered, "You are more discerning than him. Believe me, as long as you explain everything clearly, death is certain, but at least it won't be so painful... Take him down."

After the two men, dragging their long bloody trails, were taken away, San Bao bowed to Li Chen and said: “Your Highness is truly wise and martial. I admire you. You even managed to pry open the mouths of these members of the White Lotus Sect. I am simply not as capable as Your Highness even one-tenth.”

" "

Li Chen sank his face and said, "This palace has been scolded countless times by them."

Sān Bǎo giggled softly and whispered, "Shall we still investigate their kin"

Li Chen said indifferently, "Do you think the White Lotus Sect would leave their family members alive if they knew they were captured"mpire.”Zhou Ping'an's expression remained calm. He said peacefully, "Based on past experience, large-scale corruption is inevitably a conspiracy. For example, a magistrate, an official only of the fou...
