Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

"Tap."

A sound of footsteps came at this time, it seemed so ethereal.

With the sound of footsteps, the candlelight began to flicker, as if dancing.

Tang Jian's heart rose to his throat, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Soon, a stern face appeared in his line of sight.

This person has a handsome face, but his eyes are extremely cold.

This made Tang Jian feel a chill, and jumped up from the soles of his feet to his back.

It was Shen Lian who came, but Xu Maogong did not show up.

Tang Jian was also secretly escorted to Chang'an all the way, and two days had passed.

From Tang Jian's point of view, it was estimated that only about an hour had passed.

"Master Tang, are you finally awake?"

Shen Lian asked with a smile.

But that smile was very blunt, which made Tang Jian extremely scared.

After all, he is just a civil servant. When has he seen such a battle and faced these things?

"What do you want to do, I'm the official of the imperial court!"

Tang Jian scolded without confidence.

"The imperial court ordered the officials not to handle government affairs well, so why did they go to Hexi?"

Shen Lian asked.

"This is a private matter of the Palace, and it has nothing to do with you. Are you the current Holy Majesty or Your Highness?"

Tang Jian asked bravely.

Shen Lian moved a chair and sat directly in front of Tang Jian.

"Don't say such useless words, didn't you go to Hexi to find Xue Ju?"

Shen Lian said sharply.

Afterwards, he even revealed the plans of the Li family.

After Tang Jian heard this, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked at Shen Lian in shock.

He originally thought that the Sui Shi only had certain news, but he didn't expect the news to be so accurate.

Even the entire Li family's plan is known.

In other words, every move of the Li family is actually under the surveillance of the Sui family.

Thinking of this, Tang Jian almost fainted.

Then the actions of the Li family, don't they seem so ridiculous and childish?

And no matter how perfect the plot is, it cannot escape the eyes of Sui Shi.

"How do you win like this?"

Tang Jian smiled wryly.

"Since you all know this, let's do it."

Afterwards, Tang Jian closed his eyes and raised his neck, showing a gesture of generosity.

If you don't pay attention to his trembling hands and legs, you may really think that he is not afraid of death.

"We want you to do one thing."

Shen Lian opened his mouth slowly.

Hearing this, Tang Jian opened his eyes, and there was a cunning flash in his eyes.

Since he has something to do, he has leverage to negotiate with Sui Shi.

Maybe you can find an opportunity to leave this ghost place and go back with this important information.

"You have to know what your current situation is."

Shen Lian's voice interrupted Tang Jian's thoughts again.

"What's your situation?"

Tang Jian completely relaxed.

And he is very conceited and wants to use his talents to leave this ghost place.

"Looks like you don't know."

Shen Lian showed a weird smile, and slowly stood up from the chair.

Seeing this, Tang Jian was stunned for a moment, recalling Shen Lian's words.

Immediately afterwards, several Jin Yiwei walked towards him.

"What are you going to do?"

Jin Yiwei set up Tang Jian, frightened him to scream again and again.

However, these Jin Yiwei pretended not to hear, and took Tang Jian away on their own.

Shen Lian sat down again, and waited quietly for something.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of shrill screams, and there was only a few sounds before there was no movement.

After about half an hour, Tang Jian was brought back by Jin Yiwei's people.

When he came back this time, Tang Jian had disheveled hair and blood on the corner of his mouth.

And there are three fingers, already bloody.

Tang Jian was weak and pale, and almost fainted several times.

He was framed and put back on the original chair.

"Now do you know where you are?"

Shen Lian asked calmly.

However, Tang Jian opened his mouth to say something, but was about to faint again.

Two Jin Yiwei stepped forward and punched Tang Jian's bloody fingers.

With a scream, Tang Jian woke up suddenly, with large beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Don't talk yet?"

Shen Lian asked quietly, and slowly raised his hand.

"No, I already know my situation!"

Tang Jian said quickly.

Hearing this, Shen Lian slowly let go of his hands.

"It's good to know."

He said lightly.

"What do you want me to do, or say?"

Tang Jian said weakly.

He no longer dared to have any flirts, he would answer whatever Shen Lian asked.

"Write a letter to the Li family, telling them that the goal has been achieved, and the Li family can act quickly."

Shen Lian replied.

"what?"

Tang Jian exclaimed.

He never expected that the purpose of this group of people to arrest him was actually this.

And once the letter is written, the Li family will definitely follow suit.

Because of the situation in the Li family, there was no other choice.

"No!"

Tang Jian directly shook his head and refused.

"Master Tang, what you have endured just now is only the elementary punishment, and there will be more in the future."

Shen Lian said lightly.

"We have a lot of ways to get you to agree to this matter, and you can't live or die."

His voice gradually became colder.

Looking at Shen Lian's face, Tang Jian recalled the scene just now, and his back was already wet with cold sweat.

Shen Lian only gave Tang Jian two breaths, after which Tang Jian didn't make a decision.

Shen Lian gave the order directly, and Tang Jian was dragged away by Jin Yiwei's people.

This time, Shen Lian did not wait in place, but left from the dungeon.

Outside the dungeon, in a room.

Xu Maogong looked so leisurely while drinking wine and eating food.

"Master Xu, at the latest this evening, Tang Jian can agree."

Shen Lian walked in and said.

"really?"

Xu Maogong asked in doubt.

After all, no one dared to make a time commitment for such a thing as asking a prisoner to confess, but Shen Lian did.

And with Shen Lian's style of doing things, he wouldn't speak big words.

Once something is said for sure, it is 100% the thing.

"Yes."

Shen Lian replied.

Jin Yiwei has researched on people's willpower. From the conversation just now and Tang Jian's reaction, Shen Lian knew how strong his willpower was.

Under the corresponding willpower, at most, if you persist until the punishment, you will choose to compromise and so on.

"Okay, then I'll wait here."

Xu Maogong replied.

"Ah."

Shen Lian replied, and returned to the dungeon again.

The dungeon was already filled with screams.

From deafening at the beginning, it gradually became weaker.

But soon, the screams became extremely harsh again.

No one knew what kind of torture Tang Jian was suffering at this time.

But what is certain is that Jin Yiwei's torture was not only physical but also spiritual.

Sure enough, when it was nearly dusk, Tang Jian's screams stopped.

Like a dead man, he was dragged over by two guards in Jinyi.
