Slowly swaying in front of Cheng Tianli's eyes, Li Feibai paused for a long time and began to say:

"Thirteen days ago, that is, on the ninth day of the first month of this month, you helped Qian Wende dispose of the body of an unknown beggar and buried it in a mass grave at random, but is there such a thing?"

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

"I don't understand what you say, I don't know what corpses or mass graves."

Pulling the corners of his mouth, revealing a cruel smile, Li Feibai said: "It seems that you are still lucky." ”

Fang Qing stood up and continued: "I still want to quibble, I saw you bury your body with my own eyes that day, and you can't rely on it if you want to." ”

"If you want to frame me, you can say anything, I haven't done it anyway." Cheng Tianli simply closed his eyes, looking like he was killed and didn't admit it.

He has seen many cases where he was weak in heart and was blackmailed by the other party to tell the truth.

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

Fang Qing smiled, approached his face, and said word by word: "You move faster, this weather is freezing, just dig a pit and bury it." ”

Xu Qianqian didn't know why.

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

This sentence is exactly what he said when he buried the corpse.

"How's it going, don't you recognize it?" Li Feibai asked rhetorically.

"Hmph, what did I do, an old beggar, frozen to death in the long street of the imperial city, I saw the corpse disposed of, what is this?"

"Freeze 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 three words of Dali Temple, Cheng Tianli suddenly became a little shorter.

He knew that Chen Gongzhi, the new secretary of Dali Temple, was uncompromisingly reasonable, and no one would give face, even if he was a member of King Zhao's faction.

Seeing that his defense was gradually broken in his heart, Li Feibai took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"What benefits did the Qian Mansion give you? Why would one of your gatekeepers be willing to help him dispose of the body? ”

"Do you have a handle in Qian Wende's hands?"

"This old beggar had a conflict with Qian Shaocheng before he died, and many people have seen that you dare to help Qian Fu deal with the aftermath, as a guard, this is knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be added to one degree."

"If you were put to death, did you ever think about your parents and wives at home? They will all be affected by you, women are prostitutes, men are slaves, your parents have no one to support, and you watch them starve to death? ”

"You are in the spirit of heaven, watching your wife and daughter become official prostitutes, and your son has been a slave for generations, do you think the people of the Qian Mansion will help you?"

A series of tortures that hit the heart made Cheng Tianli completely lose the confidence to resist, and by the time he heard Li Feibai's last sentence, he was already unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.

He sighed dejectedly, as if his strength had been drained, and after sitting like this for a quarter of an hour, Cheng Tianli finally came out:

"I'm a good gambler, I have lost all my family property several times, and I owe a lot of debts to the gambling house, they are ready to sue me in the criminal department, during which the king of Qi ordered someone to find me, gave me a sum of money, and tried to win me over. But that night, Qian Wende came to the door, gave me double the money, asked me to pay back the money of King Qi, and said that he had helped me pay off the debts of the gambling house, and I saved the position of the city gate guard. ”

"So you took refuge in the Qian Mansion?"

"They not only helped me pay off my gambling debts, but also said that in the future, the family's expenses will be covered by the money, so that I can rest assured to gamble, the conditions are so rich, fools know how to choose." Cheng Tianli laughed to himself.

"A person who doesn't have bad habits can't make good use of it, and Qian Fu is not helping you, it's harming you." Li Feibai said lightly.

"Ugh." Cheng Tianli sighed again: "I don't know, but I always can't control these hands, just like that, over the years, I have become a dog in the Ministry of Shangshufu." If I don't do what they want, all my money will be recovered and held accountable, and I can't afford it. ”

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

At the same time, he shouted loudly in his heart: All men in the world are wine bags, but only the son is unparalleled in the world!

"That night." Cheng Tianli raised his head weakly, and continued: "Qian Wende found me and said that there was an emergency, and when I heard that it was to help dispose of the body of a beggar, I thought to myself that this was not a big deal, so I secretly transported it out of the city and threw it in the mass grave at random, and I didn't think too much about it. ”

"But the next day, I heard that someone was rumoring that Qian Shaocheng had a conflict with a beggar in the Drunken Red Mansion, and I thought that this matter was probably unusual, and I didn't dare to make a noise."

After listening to his story, the three of them understood what was going on.

Immediately afterwards, Li Feibai said directly: "Now, there are two paths in front of you, see how you choose?" ”

"Which two?" Cheng Tianli asked.

"First, go to Dali Temple to tell you about Qian Wende's order to throw your body, and tell me about it, and there must be no half a lie."

"No, in this way, the Qian Mansion will kill me." I want to cry all day long without tears.

"Then you're going to pick the second one?"

"What is the second one?"

"Let's go to Dali Temple, accuse you of raping people's daughters, sentence you to hanging, as I just said, wives and daughters become official prostitutes, and sons become slaves."

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

Li Feibai walked up to him, squatted down, and said in a slow tone: "No, you still have a way to live, if you choose the first one, we will never say anything about what you do to Tingxiao today, and, don't hide it from you, after today, I will let Qian Liangye and Qian Wende fall off the horse, think about it, who else in the Qian Mansion will trouble you?" ”

In fact, Cheng Tianli didn't do anything to Tingxiao, everything was just an illusion, she used to be a dusty woman, just Xu Qianqian asked her to help, take off her coat and act in a scene, she agreed without thinking about it.

After all, Xu Qianqian was willing to take her in to continue to work in Tao Yiju, and let her be conscientious, and she was grateful in her heart.

Seeing that his heart was moved, Li Feibai continued to incite: "If you do what I say, at most you will be convicted of illegal disposal of corpses, and you will be imprisoned for one or two years at most, and your wife and children can still be safe, you can choose for yourself." ”

There was a little brilliance in his eyes, Cheng Tianli was obviously moved, but he still didn't believe it, how could a minister who was a scholar, a David Wenhao, and an important minister in front of the emperor easily fall off the horse?

"What are you going to do with Qian Fu?"

With this question, Li Feibai knew that he was worried that Qian Liangye would not be able to fall, and he was still troublesome with him afterwards, not to inquire about the news of the Qian Mansion.

"You don't have to worry about this, in short, if you do what I say, the Qian Mansion will not appear in Jinglin from tomorrow." Li Feibai is still cautious and does not plan to inform him of his next plans.

Laughing miserably, Cheng Tianli replied: "Do I have a choice?" I don't have a choice. ”

Yes, from the moment he stepped into this room, he lost his choice. This is also the death situation that Li Feibai arranged for him.
