Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 159 Do you want me to help you look decent?

In the Cui family mansion, Cui Jingming sat upright in the upper seat, his face as cold as ice, his eyes revealing a chilling indifference.

In the hall, a group of Cui family’s highly respected elders stood with their heads bowed, their figures appearing particularly solemn in this depressing atmosphere.

Such a heinous act of collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country actually happened in the Cui family, and they even dared to intercept the military reports.

This is definitely not something that an ordinary member of the Cui family has the ability and courage to do. It must be secretly manipulated by one of the Cui family elders who usually act tyrannically.

Cui Jingming slowly raised his hand, picked up an exquisite teacup, and took a sip. The bitterness of the hot tea spread on the tip of his tongue, but it was not even a fraction of the pain in his heart.

He put down the teacup, making a slight knocking sound, which was particularly obvious in the silent hall.

"Tell me, who did this?"

His voice was very cold.

"Since he admitted it now, I can let him go. But after I find out the truth, please don't blame me, Cui Jingming, for turning my back on you, my elders."

After saying this, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of each elder.

After a moment of dead silence, no one answered.

Cui Jingming frowned slightly, his anger grew even stronger, and he waved his hand gently.

Upon seeing this, his trusted advisor Li Tong hurried forward with a respectful demeanor.

"Check! Dig out all the recent account books of the Cui family!"

Cui Jingming's order was loud and clear.

"Let's take a look at whose businesses have been near Songzhou recently."

"I want to see whether Li Chengqian is just trying to be mysterious or if it really happened."

"Yes! Mr. Cui!"

Li Tong accepted the order and turned to leave.

At this moment, Cui Shouren staggered out from the crowd, his steps hurried and hurried, and he knelt at Cui Jingming's feet.

"Jingming, it was...it was me who did it!"

His voice trembled, filled with despair and guilt.

When Cui Jingming heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it hard on Cui Shouren's forehead.

With a loud "crash", the teacup shattered and fragments flew everywhere. Blood suddenly poured out from Cui Shouren's forehead, slowly flowing down and staining his old face red.

The furious Cui Jingming then kicked Cui Shouren to the ground.

"You still have the nerve to call me master?"

"Cui Shouren!"

"Do you still see me, Cui Jingming, as the head of the family?"

His roar echoed in the hall.

"Do you know what you've done?"

"You've plunged my Cui family into an irretrievable situation, do you know that?"

"Hundreds of years of reputation of my Cui family has been destroyed in an instant because of you!"

"From today on, my Cui family will be thieves forever! Do you understand?"

Cui Jingming looked at Cui Shouren who was lying on the ground, his chest heaving violently.

The other elders looked distressed and offered words of comfort. A white-haired elder stepped forward, his voice hoarse but full of concern: "Jingming, calm down. Cui Shouren, no matter what, is still an elder of the Cui family and your uncle!"

"Now that things have happened, it's useless to get angry. We should find a way to solve the problem."

Cui Jingming slowly turned his head and looked at the elder with cold eyes.

"Shut up! Solve the problem?"

"The imperial edict to punish treason has already been issued! Tell me, how can we solve the problem?"

"Even if you seize the throne now and write a glorious chapter in history, you can't clear my Cui family of the name of usurper!"

His voice became increasingly high-pitched, filled with endless grief and indignation.

"Each of you, count every one of you, since I, Cui Jingming, came to power, you have taken advantage of my youth and done countless evil things behind my back."

"I know it all, but I'm too lazy to argue with you! Now, you're awesome! You even dare to collaborate with the enemy and sell out your country! What else are you afraid to do? Collaborate with alien races? How can you face the world?"

He turned his head again and stared at Cui Shouren without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Cui Shouren, if I were you, I wouldn't be sitting on the ground now. I would find a good place to commit suicide."

"As for the explanation..."

Cui Jingming sneered, his laughter full of sarcasm.

"You don't need to explain to me. You should wait until you die and explain to my ancestors of the Cui family! Do you want me to save your dignity, or do you want to save your dignity yourself, Cui Shouren?"

When these words were spoken, all the elders were shocked. Cui Jingming had made up his mind at this moment and was determined to make Cui Shouren die to apologize for his crime.
