The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 631 Shaking Head and Sighing

The Empress Dowager would absolutely not allow it, but the Emperor was powerless, and Li Yingcai was, after all, a high-ranking official!

Moreover, in order to appease the emperor's anger, Li Yingcai sent his youngest daughter into the palace to become the emperor's concubine.

After Zhao Beixing explained again, Chen Er finally understood. Chen Er touched his chin and then spoke coldly once more.

"The Emperor is unaware of this matter. Has Huang Qiangwei found the Emperor? Could it be that this woman has not even seen the Emperor's face?" Chen Er's words made Zhao Beixing shake his head and sigh bitterly.

"That's easy. With the few of us here, it's incredibly difficult for Huang Qiangwei to see the Emperor. Besides, before Huang Qiangwei became my concubine, she had a one-night stand with Li Yingcai."

Originally, Huang Qiangwei wanted to use Li Yingcai's help to see the Emperor and seek justice for her father, but Wang Qiangwei did not expect this.

In fact, the one who killed his father was not Wei Zhongxian at all, but Li Yingcai, whom he had humbled and subservient to.

Chen Er almost coughed up blood. Although he could understand Huang Qiangwei's eagerness to avenge her father, how could she joke about her own health?

Isn't this just asking for trouble? But that Li Yingcai isn't a good person either; he actually did such a despicable thing.

"Then tell me, do you have any evidence against me, Li Yingcai? Please give it to me so I can deal with Li Yingcai right now."

Chen Er said seriously, and Zhao Beixing shook his head upon hearing Chen Er's words.

"Chen Er, I have nothing. Perhaps Qin Zhongting still has some evidence about Li Yingcai. Qin Zhongting was more successful than me when he was with Li Yingcai back then."

As for me, I'm just Li Yingcai's lackey." As soon as Zhao Beixing finished speaking, Chen Er slapped Zhao Beixing across the face, knocking him to the ground.

“I respect Zhao Beixing, but you treat me like this. You’re not being very kind. People in your line of work always leave themselves a way out.”

Aren't you afraid Li Yingcai will target you? You don't have any evidence, so you're unwilling to produce it, aren't you?"

Zhao Beixing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before nodding: "That's right, I have evidence, but I'm not giving it to you."

Li Yingcai is incredibly shrewd. If he knew I betrayed him, he would have wiped out my entire family long ago.

After saying this, Zhao Beixing smiled indifferently: "If my personal sacrifice can bring comfort to my family, I am still willing to do so."

Chen Er smiled. It was obvious that Zhao Beixing was not cooperating with him. When Chen Er came, he had already made up his mind that if Zhao Beixing cooperated with him to investigate Li Yingcai, it would be a different story.

Perhaps at a crucial moment, he could become a witness for himself. Unfortunately, Chen Er stopped pursuing Zhao Beixing and was about to beat Ma Dazhi to death.

But now Zhao Beixing is refusing to listen to reason and is being forced to drink the penalty shot.

"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin," so Chen Er decided to give Zhao Beixing a taste of his own medicine. Chen Er then took out a red-hot branding iron from the side.

Chen Er blew on it and said, "You've seen this before when you were a high-ranking official, right? When you put this in someone else's hands, have you ever thought that one day you might suffer the same pain?"

"I really don't know who invented this thing, it's so cruel!" Xuan said, walking toward Zhao Beixing with ill intent.

Zhao Beixing, trembling, retreated incessantly: "Chen Er, you've gone too far! How can you talk such nonsense? I'm an official of the court; you can't treat me like this. You can't bear the consequences if the Emperor blames you!"

Zhao Beixing still wanted to use the emperor to pressure Chen Er, but Chen Er just sneered.

"Go to hell! At this point, even a crow would open its mouth to speak, but you have disappointed me greatly. I gave you countless chances."

But since you won't cooperate with me, then don't blame me for being ruthless today.

After Chen Er finished speaking, he didn't hesitate any longer and pressed the branding iron in his hand directly onto Zhao Beixing's big belly.

Although there was a layer of clothing between them, the red-hot branding iron corroded a large hole in Zhao Beixing's clothes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The room still smelled of burning. Zhao Beixing was trembling all over, sweating profusely, his mouth wide open as if he wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

With a forceful pull, Chen Er managed to rip the branding iron off Zhao Beixing's body, tearing off a layer of skin in the process.

"I never expected this thing to be so powerful. I don't want to hurt you anymore. If you cooperate now, I will present all the evidence you know to me."

Perhaps you won't have to suffer any more physical pain, otherwise you would surely die today. Chen Er didn't want to waste any more of his precious time with Zhao Beixing.

"Chen Er, I agree to your request. I'll tell you now that I've put my documents under the bed. Please don't use force against me anymore."

"I'm already so old, I really can't take this kind of torment anymore." Zhao Beixing's eyes were now filled with fear and apprehension towards Chen Er.

Zhao Beixing had not expected Chen Er to be so terrifying. Since he had such ruthless thoughts about him, wasn't he just sending himself to his death?

Upon hearing Zhao Beixing's words, Chen Er nodded and smiled, then patted Zhao Beixing's shoulder vigorously.

"If only you had known this would happen, you would have cooperated with me and given me the evidence. Maybe you wouldn't have had to suffer like this. Now look what you've done, you've suffered for nothing."

Zhao Beixing kept rolling his eyes.

“My evidence is under the bed. I buried a box in there. I knew that I was colluding with someone like Li Yingcai, so I had to have a backup plan, otherwise I wouldn’t even know how I died.”

After Zhao Beixing said these words, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had disappeared, and he sat on the ground panting heavily.

Zhao Beixing was no longer as tough as before; his face was full of resentment as he looked at Chen Er. It was hard for Zhao Beixing to imagine what was going on.

If I don't cooperate with Chen Er in dealing with Huang Xiaolong's matter, will Chen Er really subject me to the punishment of slow slicing? Chen Er even said he would use all the cruel tortures of the Ming Dynasty on me.

Chen Er's expression was so serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all, which made Zhao Beixing very scared.

"Chen Er, I'll tell you everything I know, I just beg you to spare my life, please don't hurt my body anymore, and even more so, don't hurt my soul."
