"Father, my alliance with Lin Huai'an wasn't for my own selfish gain! It was to get a good price for the old grain in our Liu Family's warehouses."
CRACK!
Seeing Liu Taofang was still trying to change the subject, Liu Hong struck him again with the whip.
"I don't want to hear your excuses!"
"Just tell me, what exactly did you and Lin Huai'an do for that silver!"
At this moment, Liu Hong had lost all his usual calm and composure. He glared at Liu Taofang with a grim expression.
Even though he was only dressed in simple white robes, he still carried an air of authority.
Liu Taofang, on the other hand, was a mess. His brocade robes were in tatters, with thin lines of blood seeping through the tears.
Even so, he remained kneeling ramrod straight on the floor, not daring to move a muscle.
His rather fair-featured face was filled with terror and indignation.
"I... I don't know..."
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK!
