Chapter 403: Speak And I’ll Spare You

”Greetings your majesty,” The people in the dungeon trembled when they saw Xiao Qi Feng, they were afraid, especially Li Family Head’s son.

”Your majesty, we are being accused wrongly. Please help us.”

Xiao Qi Feng looked at him, he had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: “Accused wrongly? Then tell me, what is this?”

Seeing the item in Xiao Qi Feng’s hand, the Li Family Head’s pupils contracted, there was despair on his face, so that was the true reason why the Li Family was annihilated.

Seeing the Li Family Head acting that way, Xiao Qi Feng chuckled: “It seems that the Li Family Head already knows what is going on.”

”Since your majesty already knows, why did you come?”

”I still have many doubts that I want to clear, I wonder if the Li Family Head is willing to clear my doubts?” Xiao Qi Feng sat on a chair the guard brought in as he said casually to the Li Family Head.

”Your majesty, we’ll tell whatever you wish to know, as long as you spare us,” The Li Family Head had not spoken and was interrupted by his son.

It was the effect Xiao Qi Feng wanted, he looked at the Li Family young master: “Really? As long as you tell me what I want to know.”

”I…… I know, I know everything, even if I do not know, I will have my father tell your majesty, I beg your majesty to spare us,” Young Master Li knelt and kept pleading.

The Li Family Head was full of remorse when he saw his son acting so cowardly, it was his fault, if it wasn’t for him, his son would not be raised this way.

”Really?”

”Yes. Father, tell his majesty, I do not wish to die,” Young Master Li nodded at once, he then pleaded the Li Family Head.

The Li Family Head still did not speak, but his gaze was at ease.

Seeing the scene, Xiao Qi Feng knew he would soon obtain what he wanted.

”It seems that the Li Family Head does not want to tell me.”

”Your majesty, what do you want to do?” Just before Young Master Li spoke, the Li Family Head looked at him and asked solemnly.

Xiao Qi Feng looked at the Li Family Head, there was a playful smile on his face: “Speak and I’ll spare you, what do you think?”

”Father……”

”Shut up, how could I have such a useless son like you.”

Xiao Qi Feng seeing the Li Family Head acting decisive looked at the person by his side: “Since the Li Family Head is so decisive, I would not force it, take action.”

The person standing behind Xiao Qi Feng walked towards Young Master Li, he tied him to the torture rack, one of the guards took out a sharp dagger and stabbed towards Young Master Li’s body.

”Arghhh……” Young Master Li let out a miserable scream.

And it was just the beginning.

”Your majesty, I’ll tell you…… I’ll speak,” He was unable to endure it when a lump of flesh was cut out from his son.

Seeing his son in that situation, Li Family Head’s eyes were filled with dullness.

His son knew many of Li Family matters, seeing his son in such a situation, it was impossible for him to keep hiding it.

Xiao Qi Feng waved his hand, the guard stopped.

”Speak.”

Young Master Li sensed the dagger on his body had vanished before opening his mouth.

He told Xiao Qi Feng all the Li Family secrets that he knew.

After obtaining the answer he wanted, Xiao Qi Feng nodded in satisfaction: “Won’t it be great if you said it sooner? Why must you wait until right now?”

After Xiao Qi Feng left, the Li Family Head slumped to the floor, he felt a chill in his head. They were finished, everything was finished.

Young Master Li was celebrating from surviving a disaster instead.

However, such a celebration did not last for long as he died without knowing why.

Not only him, even the remaining members of the Li Family all died within a single night, they did not even know what happened to them when they died.

Xiao Qi Feng looked at the person in front of him: “Have those people been handled?”

”Yup.”

”That’s great, go inform Tian Chang about the news were acquired from Li Family.”

”Alright.”

After they left, Xiao Qi Feng leaned on his imperial throne, he narrowed his eyes, there were profound mysteries in it, it seems that the Imperial Tutor was really vigilant, the chess pieces scattered in the empire basically did not know one another’s identity, it would be really troublesome for them to investigate.
