Chapter 286 The Fear of Dying

Kang Zixu's eyes were filled with horror, and he stared at Yan Li.

No, it was impossible.

How could she pretend to be unconscious and deceive the senses of the assassins?

Yan Li stood up, grabbed his neck and dragged him into the inner room.

Kang Zixu struggled and kicked the pearwood screen, trying to attract the attention of the assassins, but there was no one outside, and there was no movement.

Kang Zixu finally panicked, and fear appeared clearly in his eyes.

Arriving in the inner room, Yan Li pulled the cloth strip in his hand that he originally wanted to use to cover her eyes, slowly strangled his neck, and tightened it little by little.

"Ah!" Kang Zixu opened his mouth, his face showed pain, his face turned blue and purple, "Ah..."

"The eldest son of the Kang family?" Yan Li smiled coldly, tightened the cloth strip from the back of his neck, "If I kill you tonight, do you think there is anyone who can save you?"

Kang Zixu struggled frantically.

Yan Li easily strangled his neck and pressed him to the edge of the bed, making him unable to say a word.

The fear and despair of dying made Kang Zixu tremble all over. He looked at Yan Li with obvious resentment and anger, as well as a subtle plea for mercy.

However, Yan Li was unmoved.

She was even too lazy to tell what his eyes meant.

"The Kang family has done a lot of evil over the years." Yan Li relaxed a little to prevent him from suffocating to death. "Officials and businessmen colluded, raised grain prices, monopolized the granaries around Yanling, forced many merchants to death, raised death soldiers and private soldiers, and used death soldiers to do too many shady things. Relying on sufficient troops and great power, occupying civilian women has become commonplace."

Yan Li recounted the crimes of the Kang family one by one. Every time he said one, Kang Zixu's pupils shrank suddenly. Obviously, he didn't expect Yan Li, a little princess who had just returned, to know so much about the Kang family.

"Are you surprised?" Yan Li smiled calmly, looking down at his embarrassment from a high position, "In fact, what I said is just the tip of the iceberg of the Kang family, but it doesn't matter. The Prime Minister and General Xuan are here, and they will investigate how many things the Kang family has done that they shouldn't have done over the years."

"Ahhh!" Kang Zixu began to struggle frantically again, "Ahhh! Ahhhh!"

"You want me to let you go?" Yan Li shook her head slowly, her voice cold and ruthless, "Didn't you ask someone to bring me here? It's late at night, I thought you like to play some exciting games, so I'm here to accompany you. What's wrong, Mr. Kang?"

As soon as the voice fell, she exerted force in her hand, dragged him to the ground, and stepped on his heart with one foot.

"Mr. Kang likes to play exciting things?" Yan Li said in a cold and ruthless tone, "How exciting? Whip? Or shackles? Or I'll have someone strip you naked, find a horse to take you around Yanling City, so that the people of Yanling can see the style of the eldest son of the Kang family?"

Kang Zixu was stepped on by her foot, and he tilted his neck in pain, breathing out more than breathing in, and tried to struggle to get up but couldn't do it at all.

"Don't worry." Yan Li turned her head and looked out the window, "The night is almost over, and there is still half an hour before leaving the city gate. This princess has not slept all night to play with you, you have to cooperate well."

Kang Zixu heard the shock and panic in his eyes, and he struggled frantically, trying to speak.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Kang Zixu nodded frantically.

"Speak." Yan Li loosened the cloth strip a little, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't shout for help, no one can help you."

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough..." Kang Zixu coughed violently, his face flushed red, as if he could not breathe at any time.

Yan Li watched coldly.

After coughing for a long time, Kang Zixu finally recovered: "You..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, like a rag.

Yan Li sat leisurely on the edge of the bed, one foot still on his chest. If Kang Zixu dared to escape, she would strangle him to death or step on him to death.

"You... you are a princess." Kang Zixu gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "The second prince is your brother, we... we are a family..."

"Are you trying to establish a relationship?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "This trick won't work on me."

Kang Zixu gritted his teeth tightly: "You are new here, and such a style will not be popular. If something happens to the Kang family, not only will the second prince be furious, but the other princes will also be on guard against you and hate you-"ŴŴŴ.

"I care?" Yan Li interrupted him, "Say something useful, for example, do you plan to work like a cow and a horse in your next life to atone for the sins of those women who were killed by you, or do you want to be reduced to the path of animals for generations and never be human?"

Kang Zixu gritted his teeth: "I am the eldest son of the Kang family, how dare you humiliate me like this?"

"Is this a humiliation?" Yan Li stepped hard on him, causing him to feel a sharp pain in the chest. "This is the retribution you deserve, a punishment and curse for you!"

Kang Zixu had an injury on his chest, and now he was stepped on hard by her, causing him to turn pale in pain: "I... I really underestimated you."

"So you deserve this fate, it's your own fault." Yan Li's voice was cold and ruthless, "Didn't they say that the eldest son of the Kang family was carefully cultivated as an heir since childhood? How can a lowly person like you be qualified to be an heir? Your mother sent someone to apologize during the day, and you kidnapped this princess here at night, just to satisfy your despicable, dirty, and disgusting desires. Is this the behavior of a qualified heir?"

Kang Zixu was about to die, but he still sneered: "She's just a woman."

"This woman can take your life today." Yan Li said, tightening the cloth strip suddenly, watching him open his mouth in pain and breathe desperately, "You look down on women so much, didn't you come from a woman's belly?"

Kang Zixu reached out and grabbed the cloth strip painfully, his face turned liver-colored again.

Yan Li talked to him in a casual manner, not worrying that someone would come in from outside.

Until there was a little dim light outside the window.

The sky in the east was slightly white, and the Kang family mansion was obviously busy. Sitting in the house, you could hear the hurried footsteps outside.

"Your father and mother should have gotten up, and your third brother has also returned home." Yan Li's tone was leisurely and calm, "They should be making grand preparations to welcome the prime minister and general from the court. Kang Zixu, today is the death date of your Kang family!"

Kang Zixu was tortured to a state of confusion and exhaustion. Like a dying fish, he tried to open his mouth to try to find a little breath, and didn't hear what she said at all.

Whether the world outside was in turmoil or calm, it seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In just one hour, he experienced the feeling of falling from the clouds to hell in Yan Li's hands, and was even close to the gates of hell at any time. The eldest son of the Kang family, who had been pampered for more than 20 years, suffered the sin he had never suffered in his life, and endured it thoroughly.
