Who put the yellow robe on me?

"Oh? You don't know? Then tell me something you know!"

Jiang Chen leaned forward slightly, his eyes deep, and his voice fell slowly. Every word sounded like the beating of a war drum, making Liu San feel uneasy.

"Liu San, the Minister of Rites, Mu Shenru, asked you to delay the night watchman's beat by half an hour. You asked Mr. Zhen from Baotong Casino and Yang Weiqian, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, to set up a trap for the night watchman, Bai Yinlang, to force him to death and take his wife."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu San's pupils suddenly contracted and his whole body trembled, as if these words had struck him to the deepest level of fear.

However, Jiang Chen didn't give him any chance to breathe. He changed the subject, his tone becoming even more stern, striking directly at his deepest fears: "And the purpose of slowing down the night watch is to cooperate with the kidnapping of the Thirteenth Princess."

Liu San's whole body shook as if struck by lightning. He stared at Jiang Chen blankly, his lips slightly parted, as if he couldn't believe that he knew all this.

"Your Highness...I am a humble commoner..." Liu San's throat rolled slightly, his voice was hoarse, and there was a strong fear in his tone.

"Now, Boss Zhen and Yang Weiqian have both confessed their crimes and are being punished," Jiang Chen's tone was calm, yet contained a threat that could not be ignored. "This includes your contact information and the amount of bribes you accepted."

Liu San's face turned pale instantly, and his already nervous and uneasy mood plummeted. He desperately wanted to explain himself, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, without concealing the contempt in his eyes, and took out two files and threw them gently in front of him. The papers fell to the ground with a crisp sound, like a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Sanxin.

Liu San's heartbeat could almost be heard, and the files in front of him made him realize that he had already fallen into an abyss from which there was no escape.

However, Jiang Chen didn't give him much time to think. He pulled out a third file from his sleeve and spoke in a calm tone, yet with a suffocating sense of oppression: "Under the interrogation of the three courts, the Minister of Rites, Mu Shenru, also confessed everything in exchange for the opportunity for leniency from His Majesty."

Liu San's body trembled violently, as if these words had completely shattered his last bit of hope. His eyes flickered, his face grim. He gritted his teeth, unwilling to speak, but his hands involuntarily clenched around the hem of his pants, revealing his inner uneasiness.

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. He slowly squatted down, met Liu San's eyes, and sneered, "If you knew that you were involved in the kidnapping of the Thirteenth Princess and continued to participate, then you will not only face the fate of being beheaded, but also the heinous crime of exterminating your entire clan."

His voice was as deep as the night, penetrating Liu San's soul.

Liu San's body trembled violently, and the fear in his heart spread rapidly, like a cold poisonous snake, bit by bit devouring him whole. He swallowed subconsciously, his face pale and almost bloodless.

"I'm innocent!" Liu San finally couldn't help but shout out, his voice shrill and filled with despair, as if he was about to be dragged to the execution ground at any moment. "I didn't do it! I didn't participate!"

However, Jiang Chen just smiled faintly, his eyes were cold and without any mercy.

"Are you wronged? Haha..." His tone gradually became sharp, "Everything you have done has been exposed long ago." After he said this, he suddenly threw the file in his hand in front of Liu San.

He slowly stood up and threw the third file in front of Liu San. The paper flew and fell to the ground. The confession on it was clear, and there were even red handprints. Every word seemed like a death spell.

Jiang Chen stood up, glanced at Liu San indifferently, and said coldly: "Do you think that even if Boss Zhen and Yang Weiqian confessed, Mu Shenru would take the blame for the Ninth Prince?"

When Liu San heard the words "Ninth Prince", his face turned even paler, even his breathing became a little disordered, and big drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"It's a pity you kidnapped the wrong person, Liu San." Jiang Chen's words were like a sharp needle piercing Liu San's heart. "The Thirteenth Princess is the lifeblood of His Majesty. If she makes the slightest mistake, the Minister of Justice and the Supreme Court will be beheaded! Do you think Mu Shenru has the courage to take the blame for the Ninth Prince?"

Before he could finish his words, Liu San's legs gave way and he fell to his knees, his lips trembling and even his fingertips trembling slightly. He looked at the files with despair, and finally, as if accepting his fate, he reached out with a trembling hand and slowly opened the file.

On it, all the crimes of Mu Shenru and others were recorded clearly, even their confessions and details at the time were listed one by one. The last red handprint was like an invisible sword, piercing Liu San's heart fiercely.

Liu San could no longer hold up that weak line of defense. He felt like a piece of overturned porcelain, and all the fear in his body exploded at that moment.

He lowered his head, his hands began to tremble unconsciously, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes like rain.

"I...I..." Liu San opened his mouth, but found that he could no longer make a sound. Fear washed over him like a tide, and he almost drowned in it.

Jiang Chen knew the time was ripe. He slowly took out his gold medal and said in a low and steady voice, "If you tell me everything you know, I can use my gold medal to buy you a chance of survival."

Liu San's body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head, staring at Jiang Chen intently, his eyes filled with struggle and hesitation. His breathing was rapid, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, as if he was making the most important decision of his life.

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling, "Sixteenth Prince...are you serious?"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his eyes deep and without a trace of falsehood: "Seriously."

At this moment, Liu San's psychological defenses finally collapsed. His body trembled and his eyes were filled with humiliation and fear, but he knew that he had no way out.

"I said! I said everything!"

Seeing this, Bai Binggong immediately waved to the jailers, who immediately stepped forward, spread out papers, and prepared to record the confession. Liu San seemed to have dropped all his disguises and began to confess everything, not daring to hide a single detail.

Bai Binggong nodded with satisfaction, asked the jailers to record all the contents, and finally asked Liu San to sign and seal it, and it was done in one go.

However, just when everything seemed to be settled, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cell, accompanied by a low shout—

"Sir Bai, the jailer just reported that General Annan made a new discovery while searching for the Thirteenth Princess!"

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat as these words came out. A strange light flashed in his eyes. He turned around without hesitation and strode out with a hint of excitement in his voice: "Oh? I'll be right there!"
