s flesh didn't smile. He raised his glass in response, the frustration and hatred in his heart had reached an extreme peak.After this little interlude, the banquet continued.It was only halfway throug...Chapter 36: A Human Tragedy - Zhao Ze You

Li Chen looked at Zhao Ze You and said in a flat tone, "This palace is very curious, why do you dare to cooperate with Liu Bin Cheng to do such things knowing that you are bound to die Your relatives and family are already dead, why are you so obsessed with money"

Zhao Ze You spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva on the ground viciously, and shouted frantically: "Lei Nuo Shan is my master, he saved my life back then and helped me reach my current position. I have long vowed to repay him with all my might. You killed him, and I will make you pay!"

"Foolish to the extreme."

These four characters, however, were spoken by Chen Tong.

Chen looked at Zhao Ze with a mixture of pity and disdain, saying: "You really think Ren Shan is a good thing Do you know why your wife and daughter died violently It's because Ren Shan had an affair with your wife for four or five years while you were unaware. You, this green-haired turtle, probably don't know that while you were out of the house to work, your wife was serving Ren Shan at home."

Later, your wife had a child out of wedlock. Along with the fact that their affair was discovered by your daughter, Reynold Mountain, fearing exposure, decided to silence everyone involved. He poisoned both your wife and daughter, and secretly killed several others in your household who knew the truth, all while keeping it hidden from you.

“What a fool you are to consider Renault your benefactor, willing to die for him in revenge! You green-shelled turtle have truly outdone yourself.”

Chen Tong's words struck Zhao Ze you like a giant hammer, leaving him dumbfounded and rooted to the spot.

"No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Zeyou's belief was collapsing, he stared fixedly at Chen Tong, roaring: "You're lying to me!"

Chen Tong sneered: "You really don't know how capable the Jinyiwei from the Dongchang are at gathering intelligence The Dongchang knew about this long ago. It's just that Lei Ren Shan was the Minister of Household and a trusted confidant of Zhao Xuan Ji, so the Dongchang didn't investigate further. After his death, we found evidence in his place, it was irrefutable proof. Besides, you're just a dead man, why would I lie to you"

Zhao Ze You's eyes were vacant, his mouth wide open but not a word came out.

"Haha! Ahhhhhaha!"

Zhao Ze You suddenly went mad, letting out a heart-wrenching cry that was either laughter or a scream.

Looking at Zhao Ze you with a pitying gaze, Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Give him a quick death."

After that, Li Chen led Zhao Rui into the Xizheng Hall first.

Chen Tong winked at the Jinyiwei standing beside Zhao Ze You. The Jinyiwei drew his long sword from his waist, the blade flashed, and Zhao Ze You's scream came to an abrupt end. His body stiffened for a few seconds before crashing heavily to the ground with a thud.

In the Xizheng Hall, Zhao Rui's face was pale, and her steps were unsteady.

Obviously, what she had just seen with her own eyes gave her a huge shock and made her very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong Are you feeling unwell" Li Chen asked knowingly.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, this concubine is feeling unwell and would like to return to rest first." Zhao Rui said anxiously.

"Alright, then you should go back to rest."

Li Chen said calmly, "This palace still has some matters to attend to."

Zhao Rui left with a complex mind, and Li Chen looked at Chen Tong.

What is the relationship between Liu Bincheng and Zhao Xuanji

Chen Tong clasped his fists and said, "On the surface, there is no connection between the two. The Imperial Guard is currently divided into three major factions. The strongest faction is led by Commander Zhao Jianye, who is Zhao Xuanji's nephew and was promoted to the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard by Zhao Xuanji himself."

"The other faction is Liu Bingcheng. This Liu Bingcheng is an old veteran of the Imperial Guard, having served in the Imperial Guard for over ten years and climbed step by step to his current position. Three years ago, after the previous commander of the Imperial Guard stepped down, Liu Bingcheng was the most likely candidate to take the next step, but he was preempted by Zhao Jianye. With Zhao Xuanji's support, Liu Bingcheng could only accept his fate, but since then, he and Zhao Jianye have been at odds. He has a loyal group of old subordinates under his command. Although Zhao Jianye sees him as a thorn in his side, he doesn't dare to go too far."

The rest were the moderates. They didn't offend anyone, but because they numbered many, both Liu Bin and Zhao Jianye were striving to win them over. In fact, they were the ones who lived the most comfortably.

Li Chen listened quietly, then said: "That's interesting. Even in such a small Imperial Guard, there are such deep waters."

Chen Tong respectfully clasped his fist and said, "Your Highness, the last general dares to speak. If Your Highness intends to take action against Liu Bin, Zhao Xuanji would probably be delighted."

So what He Liu Bin dares to move the four hundred thousand taels of silver from the imperial treasury. This palace is just going to let it slide better that Li Chen was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.Throughout history, how many instances have there been of brothers turning on each other, even fathers and sons clashing over the Drag...
