Eunuch Quan, afraid of beating the person to death, had already instructed them to hold back a bit.
Thus, although Commander Zhu was in pain all over, he could still endure it.
Eunuch Quan's lips curled slightly. "It seems this little appetizer isn't enough to satisfy Commander Zhu's appetite."
His tone suddenly changed. "Bring the pliers, pull his fingernails off one by one, and see if he confesses!"
The pliers were quickly brought over.
When Commander Zhu saw the pliers in the eunuch's hand, he couldn't help but tremble, imagining the agony of having his nails pulled out.
Eunuch Quan signaled to the junior eunuchs, one held Commander Zhu's hand firmly on the bench, while another took the pliers and prepared to act.
The pliers merely clamped on the nail without exerting force, yet Commander Zhu's heart shuddered.
Eunuch Quan spoke slowly, "Commander Zhu, to speak frankly, I already have an idea of who that person is."
"I just need you to give a testimony to confirm it."
