"You understand nothing, you dog emperor?!"

"A piece of trash like you isn't worthy of knowing!"

Zhang Kang's tone was weak, but the look in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Chen was venomous, sending shivers down one's spine!

Jiang Chen smirked and said indifferently, "I'm trash?"

"Then what does that make you, who was defeated by trash?"

"Haha! Defeated?"

"Dog emperor, how can you be so sure that I've lost?"

Zhang Kang laughed a few times, then looked at Jiang Chen with pity.

Being stared at with such a strange gaze mixed with fanaticism, anticipation, ridicule, and disdain, the smile on Jiang Chen's face faded, and he frowned, "Putting on an act!"

"I might as well tell you that in the past few days you've been imprisoned, the ministers in the court who participated in the rebellion have all been beheaded by me! Those hidden officials and forces behind the scenes have also been divided by me and are not to be feared."

"Now the situation in the court has reversed, and I have regained the initiative. You are a prisoner, yet you dare to spout nonsense in front of me. How laughable!"

Zhang Kang listened quietly, his expression unchanged.

It was as if those who had died were not his colleagues and friends, but strangers!

This indifferent attitude made Jiang Chen frown even more, and it also made the surrounding people shudder, secretly sighing at the man's cold-bloodedness.

Zhang Kang felt the subtle gazes of the crowd, curled his lips, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

One general succeeds, ten thousand bones wither!

To achieve great things, how can one have the benevolence of a woman?!

Being able to sacrifice themselves for their plan, these people can be considered to have died well and there's no need to feel sorry for them!

Zhang Kang knew that these people couldn't understand him, so he didn't plan to explain.

He just sneered a few times and mocked Jiang Chen, "Dog emperor, that's why I said you're a piece of trash!"

"Not even being able to figure out who your real enemies are, what else could you be but trash?"

"Shua shua!"

The moment the words fell, the imperial guards drew their swords one after another, their cold edges causing the air to become stagnant.

For these imperial guards who were close to the emperor, Zhang Kang's actions were undoubtedly a provocation and had to be warned against!

But facing the threats of the crowd, Zhang Kang was extremely calm, even with a hint of anticipation.

Compared to suffering in the imperial prison, dying would be a relief.

However, Jiang Chen would not let him have his wish.

Waving his hand to dismiss the imperial guards, he stepped forward and looked down at Zhang Kang, "Want to provoke me to kill you? I won't fall for your little tricks!"

"While I still have patience, tell me everything you know. If you are willing to atone for your sins and expose the person behind the scenes, I can consider sparing your life!"

"Heh, want to know?"

Zhang Kang laughed, his laughter full of mockery, "Dog emperor, if you are willing to kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I might consider telling you!"

Jiang Chen's face turned cold, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Even knowing that Zhang Kang was deliberately seeking death, at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel a murderous intent!

"Zhang Kang, do you think I can't do anything to you?"

"This imperial prison has three hundred and ninety-seven kinds of torture, enough for you to enjoy from the beginning to the end of the year. At that time, I can also specially send an imperial physician to protect your dog life!"

Saying that, Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Kang, with a warning: "I advise you to weigh your identity clearly and stop playing these little tricks!"

"You can't bear the consequences of angering me!"

Zhang Kang's face froze upon hearing this.

He knew that the emperor would definitely do what he said!

Unable to achieve his goal, he simply stopped pretending, put away the arrogance on his face, and closed his eyes tightly, "Kill me, I won't say anything."

Jiang Chen's face was indifferent, "Even if you don't say it, I know, it's just Mei Wenshi's party."

"However, now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Censorate, the Ministry of Works, and others have all drawn a clear line with Mei Wenshi. This old thing won't be proud for long!"

After a pause, Jiang Chen softened his tone and said, "Zhang Kang, the backer you have high hopes for is about to fall. I will ask you one last time, are you willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and confess the truth?"

Zhang Kang's eyelids twitched, but he still stubbornly said, "Give up on that thought, I won't say it!"

Jiang Chen frowned and slowly said, "What exactly did Mei Wenshi give you? That makes you so loyal!"

"You are willing to risk your life to protect him... Could it be because of that daughter of the criminal official named Meng Huaishu?"

Zhang Kang's expression finally changed, he suddenly opened his eyes and said fiercely, "Trash emperor, don't waste your effort, I won't say it!"

Jiang Chen's patience was exhausted.

Zhang Kang's disrespectful words and deeds completely ignited his anger!

He sneered and said, "I'm trash?"

"Heh, Zhang Aiqing (term for imperial minister), my harem added another beauty yesterday, from a noble family, knowledgeable and reasonable, a pair of danfeng eyes (almond-shaped eyes) are very pleasing, guess what her name is?"

Zhang Kang had a bad feeling.

A man's intuition sounded the alarm for him.

From a noble family, danfeng eyes... Looking at the emperor's malicious eyes, Zhang Kang realized what he meant, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, panting like a cow, he pounced on Jiang Chen, like an evil ghost seeking his life!

"Dog emperor, you actually forced yourself on my wife, are you even human?!"

Zhang Kang howled miserably, he couldn't believe that he would be cuckolded.

Jiang Chen chuckled playfully, slightly sidestepping to avoid Zhang Kang's collision, not taking him seriously at all.

This dog wants to fight with him? Heh!

"Zhang Aiqing, you're being too serious, I and Madam Liu are in love with each other, how can you say I forced her?"

"This morning when I left Madam Liu's Qingwan Studio, she was very reluctant, tearfully trying to persuade me to stay, saying that she wanted to bear children for me, and give birth to a dragon child..."

"Ah! Shut up!"

Zhang Kang roared and interrupted Jiang Chen.

Extreme annoyance even caused the veins on his forehead to bulge out!

"Dog emperor, you will die a terrible death!"

"I, Zhang Kang, swear with my life, I curse you to be usurped of your throne, your country will be lost! I curse you to be childless, and the woman you love will be humiliated by thousands of people!"

As he spoke, he got up again, using all his strength to rush towards Jiang Chen again, seemingly wanting to die together!

Although his relationship with Liu Huiyin was not deep, she was still his wife whom he had married in a proper manner.

No man can tolerate such humiliation.

Zhang Kang was no exception!

Jiang Chen kept stimulating Zhang Kang, reducing his sanity, and taking the opportunity to get information from him, "You said that I haven't figured out who the real enemy is, what do you mean? Is Mei Wenshi not the only mastermind?"

Zhang Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Want to know? In your next life!"

"When your throne is taken by someone else, and we meet in the underworld, I'll tell you!"

"Okay, since you insist so much, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Jiang Chen's face turned cold, "When I catch that woman named Meng Huaishu, I will 'entertain' her well. What you just said about being humiliated by thousands of people sounds pretty good."

A trace of panic flashed across Zhang Kang's face, and his pupils contracted, "You, don't try to scare me with that! There's no way you, a tyrant, will find her!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen sneered, "Is that so? Aiqing is too confident!"

Zhang Kang's heart sank...
