A bound guard was dragged over and thrown at Chu Yuxiao’s feet.
Bending down coldly, Chu Yuxiao’s foot pressed on his chest as he asked in a frosty voice, "Speak, who instructed you to do this? Cang Mo?"
The man glanced timidly at Chu Yuxiao, shivering as he replied, "No one instructed... Emperor, didn’t you say, within the ti of a cup of tea, kill a hundred people... Ah!"
The foot on his chest exerted slight pressure, causing his face to turn pale with pain.
"I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t confess, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
His icy tone sent a shiver through the crowd around him.
No one doubted his words.
Even though he seldom spoke or committed violent acts, everyone feared him, a fear that arose from the depth of their hearts.
"I’ll speak, I’ll speak!" the man quickly pleaded.
This was not the ti to be stubborn.
The Emperor had decided that he was under soone’s command, and even if he wasn’t, he had to admit it.
Moreover, he was indeed under soone’s instructions when he suddenly killed that child...
Chu Yuxiao looked down at him coldly, waiting for his confession.
In a hoarse voice begging for rcy, he said, "Emperor, if I speak, please grant a quick death, will you?"
Seeing his displeased expression, he quickly confessed, "It was Cang Mo, it was him! He instructed to do it... He wanted to kill soone in front of the Empress... preferably soone who would make the Empress feel heartache... so..."
He chose an innocent child...
Chu Yuxiao kicked him away, and the man flew, crashing hard against the wall, then fell heavily, spitting a mouthful of blood.
Turning away without a glance, he strode off.
Imdiately, soone carried the man away; no command from the Emperor was needed to know what to do.
"Co!"
"Here, my lord!" Guo Xing stepped forward, kneeling on one knee.
"Search for Cang Mo imdiately; he is still in the city. You must find him as soon as possible. Detain the people in the city separately. Tell them that if they hand over Cang Mo, I will spare them."
"Yes." Guo Xing felt a gladness in his heart and hurried off to handle the matter.
