The Western Factory left people to continue searching Liu's mansion, while Wan Chao took Liu Han and his son back to the Western Factory prison.

It was in prison that the father and son truly felt the fear.

Especially when seeing those blood-stained and dazzling array of torture instruments.

"Dad... what should we do? When will Third Uncle come to rescue us?"

Liu Yishan no longer had the arrogance and domineering look he had just had.

After witnessing with his own eyes that Wan Chao and his men killed dozens of guards at the Liu residence and were then thrown into this gloomy prison, how could he still remain so arrogant?

No matter how fierce he was in the past, he was always bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Now that he meets people like Wan Chao who are not afraid of the power of the Liu family at all, Liu Yishan is afraid.

Liu Han was also panicked, but he still comforted his son:

"Shan'er, they won't dare to do anything to us... Your Third Uncle will definitely come to rescue us."

Wan Chao walked into the torture chamber and asked coldly, "Liu Han, are you adamantly refusing to reveal where the account books are hidden?"

Liu Han gritted his teeth and decided that he must not tell anyone about the account book!

If they told it, they would all be finished, and even their third brother wouldn't be able to save them.

He had no idea how they knew about the existence of the account books, as he had clearly concealed the fact very well.

"Put them in the clamps," Wan Chao ordered expressionlessly, "until they're willing to talk."

The two men were forcibly held down, and when the blood-stained clamps were put on their hands, Liu Yishan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled.

“Dad…! They’re serious…Ah!!”

Liu Yishan's screams like a pig being slaughtered echoed in the torture room.

The people from the Western Factory were ruthless in their execution, and in a few strokes the two men's hands were covered in blood.

The fingers are connected to the heart, and few people can endure such severe pain.

What's more, the two of them have always lived a life of luxury and have never suffered any hardship.

Liu Yishan was sweating profusely, and the severe pain made his facial features twisted together. He was the first to burst into tears.

"Dad! Just tell them whether the account book exists or not..."

Liu Yishan, who had once committed evil and acted arrogantly in the capital, was now crying for his parents.

A subordinate of the Western Factory who was carrying out the execution mocked:

"You bully men and women and do all kinds of evil things on a daily basis, and you think you're so powerful, but now you're crying like a grandson."

"I... I really don't know what the account book is! Sir, I'm wronged... I really don't know what the account book you are talking about is..."

Seeing that Liu Han still refused to speak at this point, Wan Chao sneered and ordered his men to increase the punishment.

What the Western Factory lacks the least is methods of torturing people, and he wants to see how long this father and son can last.

Liu Han still gritted his teeth and said he didn't know about the account books.

The clamps made their hands bloody and they fainted from the pain.

Then they would pour cold water on the person to wake him up and then use a whip instead.

It seemed as if they were using all kinds of torture instruments one after another, and they would not stop until they tortured them to death.

Liu Han wasn't a tough guy after all. Less than an hour had passed since the torture at the Western Factory, and his son was screaming in agony beside him...

Under the double torture of body and soul, Liu Han could not bear it anymore and confessed the place where the account books were hidden.

At this time, Liu Yishan was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to shout.

Hearing his father's confession, he cried hoarsely and complained:

"Dad...if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been tortured to death by them."

He has never suffered such a thing in his life.

Now, all that remains is deep fear of Wan Chao and the others.

In the past, he had often tormented people he disliked, but now that it was his turn, he knew the pain of being unable to live or die.

Liu Han's face was pale and his eyes were dark and desperate.

He knew that if the account books were found, they would be dead.

But enduring this torture worse than death is even more terrifying than death...

On the other hand, the news of Liu Han and his son being captured did not reach Jingzhao Yin Liu He until shortly after.

Because the emperor had sent people to stop the execution in the vegetable market, Liu He thought that the emperor had sent people to arrest Liu Yishan and bring him to justice.

He found out that it was Kou Huairen who reported his nephew's case to the emperor, and he held a grudge against Kou Huairen.

If Kou Huairen hadn't been nosy, how could the emperor have known about such a small matter?

The emperor has obviously intervened in this matter now. If he wants to rescue his nephew, he can only ask Prime Minister Cui for help.

Liu He had long been annoyed by his nephew's behavior and had intended to teach him a lesson this time before asking Prime Minister Cui to rescue him.

Even though the emperor noticed the case, Liu He didn't think it was serious.

It was not until the evening that the men came to report that not only Liu Yishan had been arrested, but Liu Han had also been taken away, and Liu's mansion was searched thoroughly.

Liu He suddenly felt uneasy, and when he thought of the account book at Liu Han's place, his expression immediately became panicked.

Liu Yishan was implicated in the Liang Xiping case, so why did the emperor send people to arrest Liu Han as well?!

He even ordered a massive search of the Liu residence. Could it be that he knew about the account books?!

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If the account books were found, everything would be a disaster!

"Hurry up and prepare your horses! I'm going to Prime Minister Cui's residence now!"

Liu He stood up in a hurry, his sleeve knocked over the teacup, and the tea soaked his clothes. He didn't even bother to change and hurried out of the house.

…

According to the clues provided by Liu Han, Wan Chao had people search Liu's house and indeed found an account book.

The account book was presented to Zhao Xin immediately.

After Zhao Xin looked at the account book, his face turned cold and he was filled with anger.

Zhao Xin said coldly, "Everyone from the East and West Factories, mobilize! According to the names on the ledger, arrest those officials suspected of corruption! Don't let any of them go!"
