Dazzling slowly in front of Cheng Tianli, Li Feibai paused for a while and started to say:

"Thirteen days ago, that is, on the ninth day of this month, you helped Qian Wende dispose of the body of an unknown beggar and randomly buried it in a mass grave. Is this relevant?"

A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and Cheng Tianli lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Li Feibai.

"I didn't understand what you were saying at all. I don't know anything about corpses or mass graves."

Li Feibai raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a cruel smile, "It seems that you are still lucky."

Fang Qing stood up and continued: "I still want to make excuses. I saw you burying the body with my own eyes that day. You can't ignore it even if you want."

"You can say whatever you want to frame me. Anyway, I haven't done this." Cheng Tianli simply closed his eyes, as if he refused to admit it.

He has seen many cases where he felt guilty and was blackmailed into telling the truth by the other party.

At this moment, he also thought that Fang Qing was deceiving him.

Fang Qing smiled, got close to his face, and said word by word: "You move faster, it's freezing cold here, just dig a hole and bury it."

Xu Qianqian didn't know why.

But Cheng Tianli suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fang Qing in horror.

These words were exactly what he said when he buried the body.

"How about it? You still don't recognize it?" Li Feibai asked back.

"Huh, so what if I did it. An old beggar froze to death on the Long Street of the Imperial City. I saw the body and disposed of it. What's the point?"

"Frozen to death?" Li Feibai sneered: "I can tell you, this body is now in Dali Temple. How did he die? Do you think Dali Temple will not be able to find out the reason?"

As soon as he heard the word "Dali Temple", Cheng Tianli's momentum suddenly dropped.

He knew that the new minister of Dali Temple, Chen Gongzhi, was uncompromising in his reasoning and not in favor of relatives. He would not give face to anyone, even if he was from King Zhao's faction.

Seeing that his defense was gradually breaking down, Li Feibai took advantage of the victory and pursued him.

"What benefits did the Qian Mansion give you? Why are you, a city gate guard, willing to help him dispose of the body?"

"Do you have something in Qian Wende's hands?"

"This old beggar had a conflict with Qian Shaocheng before he died. Many people have seen that you still dare to help the Qian Mansion deal with the aftermath. As a guard, you are breaking the law knowingly and will be punished with an additional penalty."

"If you are executed, have you ever thought about your parents, wife and children at home? They will all be implicated by you, the women will be used as prostitutes, the men will be slaves, and your parents will have no one to support you. You will just watch them starve to death?"

"You are in heaven, watching your wife and daughter become official prostitutes, and your son being a slave for generations. Do you think the people in the Qian Mansion will help you?"

A series of tortures that hit his soul made Cheng Tianli completely lose the confidence to resist. By the time he heard Li Feibai's last words, he had already lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He sighed slumped, and all his strength seemed to be drained. After sitting like this for a quarter of an hour, Cheng Tianli finally said:

"I love gambling. I lost all my family property several times and owed a lot of debt to gambling houses. They were already preparing to sue me to the Ministry of Punishment. During this period, King Qi ordered someone to find me and gave me a sum of money to try to win me over.

. But that night Qian Wende came to my door and gave me double the money to pay back the money from King Qi. He also said that he had helped me pay off the debt of the gambling house, so I was saved.

The position of gatekeeper."

"So you took refuge in the Qian Mansion?"

"Not only did they help me pay off my gambling debt, but they also said that the family's future expenses will be covered by the bank, so I can gamble with confidence. The conditions are so generous that even a fool knows how to choose." Cheng Tianli laughed at himself.

"A person who doesn't have bad habits cannot be put to good use. The Qian Mansion is not helping you, it is harming you." Li Feibai said lightly.

"Sigh." Cheng Tianli sighed again: "I don't know, but I can't control these hands. Just like this, over the years, I have become a dog in the Ministry of Officials. If I don't follow their instructions

If I act according to my wishes, all my previous money will be recovered and I will be held accountable. How can I afford it?"

"Scum!" Xu Qianqian couldn't help but cursed.

At the same time, he shouted loudly in his heart: All men in the world are drunkards, but the young master is the only one in the world!

"That night." Cheng Tianli weakly raised his head and continued: "Qian Wende came to me and said there was something urgent. When I heard that he was helping to deal with the body of a beggar, I thought it was not a big deal, so I secretly

He was transported out of the city and dumped in a mass grave without thinking too much."

"But the next day, I heard someone rumored that Qian Shaocheng had a conflict with a beggar at Zuihong Mansion. I thought that this matter was probably unusual, and I didn't dare to make it public anymore."

After listening to his story, the three of them finally understood what happened.

Immediately afterwards, Li Feibai said directly: "Now, there are two roads before you. How do you choose?"

"Which two?" Cheng Tianli asked.

"First, go to Dali Temple and tell the truth about Qian Wende's order for you to dump the body, without telling any lies."

"No, if this happens, the Qian Mansion will kill me." Cheng Tianli wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Then you choose the second option?"

"What's the second one?"

"We go to Dali Temple and accuse you of raping a common woman. You will be sentenced to death by hanging. As I just said, your wife and daughter will become official prostitutes and your sons will become slaves."

"This...I..." Cheng Tianli frowned and shouted in despair: "You all want me to die anyway."

Li Feibai walked to him, squatted down, and said in a slow tone: "No, you still have a way to survive. If you choose the first option, we will never make it public what you did to Tingxiao today. Also, no

To tell you the truth, after today, I will bring down Qian Liangye and Qian Wende. Think about it, who else in the Qian family will cause trouble for you?"

In fact, Cheng Tianli didn't do anything to Tingxiao, everything was just an illusion. She was once a prostitute, and Xu Qianqian just asked her to help her take off her coat to act in a scene, and she agreed without thinking.

After all, Xu Qianqian was willing to take her in to continue working in Tao Yiju and allowed her to be a good person, for which she was grateful.

Seeing that he was moved, Li Feibai continued to incite: "If you do what I say, you will at most be convicted of illegally disposing of corpses and imprisoned for one or two years at most. Your wife, children, and children will still be able to live in peace. It's your choice."

Bar."

There was a little sparkle in his eyes, and Cheng Tianli was obviously persuaded, but he still didn't believe that how could a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, David, a literary giant, and an important minister in front of the emperor, be easily dismissed?

"How do you plan to deal with Qian Fu?"

By asking this question, Li Feibai knew that he was worried that Qian Liangye would not be able to fall, and that he would cause trouble for him afterwards, and that he was not seeking information for the Qian Mansion.

"You don't need to worry about this. In short, if you do as I say, the Qian Mansion will not appear in Jinglin from tomorrow on." Li Feibai was still cautious and did not intend to inform him of the next plan.

With a sad laugh, Cheng Tianli replied: "Do I have a choice? I don't have a choice."
