Chapter 971: Methods

Dou Kui’s eyes abruptly bulged as his entire body shrunk while quivering.

“Do you still remember Qiao Lin, the crown prince consort’s younger sister,” the crown prince asked apathetically. “Speak, why did you want to buy the crown prince consort’s younger sister back then?”

Even though it was the crown prince asking him, how would Dou Kui still remember something that had happened so many years ago? Besides, his entire body was in an extremely bad state right now, and his breathing was disjointed, as if he would breathe his last anytime.

A cold light flitted across the crown prince’s eyes. “You’re not willing to speak?”

“I-I do. Qiaotou Village is one of the villages near our town.” The Dou Family back then was one of the administrators in the town back then, and it could even be said that they were perfectly clear on how much tribute each of the nearby villages presented.
