"Twelve days." Chen Gongzhi groaned slightly.

Why did this person die for twelve days before his body was put in Dali Temple?

Why is the other party so mysterious, if an ordinary person finds a corpse, he can directly report to Dali Temple, why be sneaky?

Obviously, he put the body in Dali Temple because he wanted to borrow the hand of Dali Temple to find out the murder case in order to achieve a certain purpose.

Chen Gong's heart was full of all kinds of doubts.

But no matter what the other party wants, if there is a murder in Dali Temple, it must be investigated, which is a sure thing.

Li Feibai grasped this point, so that Lin Tianchong put the body at the gate of Dali Temple late at night, he knew Chen Gongzhi's personality, and he was not afraid that he knew the purpose of the Qi Palace.

What's more, the Qian Mansion secretly killed the beggar, the facts are there, and what Li Feibai did was just to use some means to make the truth public.

When Chen Gongzhi was suspicious, someone came to report.

"Report to Lord Chen, there is a person outside the door, claiming to know the identity of the deceased."

"Oh? The bounty has just been posted, and the results will be available so soon, pass it quickly! Chen Gongzhi didn't care about the corpse on his side.

The boy who was on the bulletin wall was brought in by the people of Dali Temple.

When he saw Chen Gongzhi, he told what he knew and revealed.

"You said that the deceased had a conflict with Qian Shaocheng, the son of the Qian Mansion, before his death?"

"Exactly, a lot of people saw it at the time." The boy replied.

"Remember what day it was?" Chen Gongzhi's eyes flashed.

Brother Gongzi didn't think about it, so he replied: "The ninth day of this month." ”

"Huh?" Chen Gongzhi was suspicious and continued to ask: "It's twenty-two now, and it's been thirteen days since the ninth day of the first month, why do you remember the time so clearly?" ”

Ordinary people don't remember the incident more than ten days ago, but this person hasn't forgotten it at all, Chen Gongzhi has to doubt it.

"My lord, let's be honest, that day was a friend's birthday, and a few of us went to the Drunken Red Mansion to have fun, so remember it clearly."

Chen Gongzhi nodded, if so, then it makes sense.

"Did Qian Shaocheng kill this person on the spot?"

"This ...... I'm not sure either. Brother Gongzi tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't dare to assert it, so he could only say: "It's just that after Qian Shaocheng beat him, the beggar staggered out of the Drunken Red Mansion by himself, as for the follow-up, I don't know." ”

After asking what he wanted to know, Chen Gongzhi ordered the secretary to take Gongzi to receive the reward, and registered his name and address, and called him at any time if he had something.

"An unknown beggar, who was beaten to death by Qian Shaocheng, the son of the Ministry of Justice, my lord, how should this case be handled?" Dali Temple Shaoqing Gu Chengye asked.

Turning around, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes, Chen Gongzhi looked at Gu Chengye with reproachful eyes.

"What do you mean by that?"

Gu Chengye lowered his head, didn't dare to look directly into Chen Gongzhi's eyes, and said tremblingly: "The despicable position means that this case involves important ministers of the imperial court, how should we start?" ”

He quickly changed his tune.

Originally, Gu Chengye meant that an unknown beggar died, but the suspect was linked to Qian Liangye, whether this matter should be reviewed as appropriate, but seeing Chen Gongzhi's reaction, he knew that this boss did not intend to be hasty.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Gongzhi said earnestly: "Chengye, you remember, in front of the law, everyone is equal, and Qian Shaocheng's life is fate, isn't this beggar?" ”

"Subordinates remember the teachings." Gu Chengye secretly sweated.

It's no wonder that he is indeed in a high position, and he has Nangong Ding's support behind him, and if he wants to investigate this case thoroughly, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to Dali Temple.

"However, Qian Shaocheng is dead, how should he be tried?" He asked again.

"If it is found out that this case was committed by Qian Shaocheng alone, and no one else in the Qian Mansion knows about it, then forget it, but if there are other hidden secrets, then we will investigate it to the end." Chen Gongzhi said without hesitation.

Feeling his uprightness, Gu Chengye was also infected, and the pride in his heart suddenly grew, and the fear was swept away.

"Report!"

Chen Gongzhi was about to order someone to put the body away, when he heard the urgent sound of the guard at the door.

"What?"

"The guard of the northern city will become a heavenly force, kneel in front of the door with his hands tied, and say that there is something important to report."

"What?"

Hearing this, Chen Gongzhi was taken aback and wondered if he had heard it wrong.

He knew Cheng Tianli, although he was not usually arrogant, but he was not the kind of person who was easy to deal with, and at this time he actually knelt in front of the door with his hands tied?

He ...... Cheng Tianli? Tie your hands and kneel outside the door? He asked repeatedly.

"Yes, sir."

With a slight groan, Chen Gongzhi felt that things were too coincidental.

Early in the morning, a corpse was displayed outside the door, and then less than half an hour after the bounty list was posted, someone came to identify the corpse, and then Cheng Tianli tied his hands.

It's all too coherent.

Pressing the question in his heart, Chen Gongzhi felt that the things that could make Cheng Tianli report himself were by no means idle.

"Take him to the Qingping Palace."

It is the place where Dali Temple specializes in hearing cases, and the layout is not much different from that of the city government.

"Yes."

", carry the body down first."

After arranging everything, Chen Gongzhi changed his official uniform and came to the Qingping Palace, where Cheng Tianli was already kneeling.

"Xiaguan Cheng Tianli, meet Lord Chen."

"Cheng Tianli, why are you doing this?"

"Back to my lord's words, the lower official wants to report Qian Wende, the head of the Qian Mansion, for the matter of ignoring people's lives." Cheng Tianli did not hesitate.

Hearing this, Chen Gongzhi probably guessed accurately, and still asked:

"What the hell is going on, let's talk about it in detail."

So, Cheng Tianli explained in detail how Qian Wende hijacked himself and threw his body.

After hearing this, Chen Gongzhi thought: Sure enough, he came for the case of the old beggar.

But since someone has filed a lawsuit, he can only continue the trial.

"According to what you said, Qian Wende gave you financial support, why did you report him?" Chen Gongzhi grasped the contradiction in his words.

"Just now I saw the Dali Temple issue a bounty, and recognized that the portrait was the person I threw the corpse of, and my heart became more and more panicked, and finally decided to come to the first to complain, in order to ask for forgiveness." Cheng Tianli stated it according to what Li Feibai taught him.

Although he felt that this reason was far-fetched, Chen Gongzhi did not ask again.

Since someone has sued, there is a witness, and the top priority is to interrogate Qian Wende.

"Come on, go to the Qian Mansion and summon Qian Wende to the hall."

The people of Dali Temple immediately went out to visit Qianfu.

"Dare to ask Lord Qian, is Qian Wende, the head of your mansion?"

Seeing Qian Liangye, Gu Chengye asked.

"Lord Gu, what is the matter with such a battle?" Qian Liangye pretended to be surprised.

Gu Chengye was not verbose, and said directly: "Dali Temple suspects that Qian Wende is related to a murder case, and specially summoned him to assist in the investigation. ”

"Oh?" Qian Liangye was both surprised and a little puzzled: "Wende has always been clean and self-conscious, how can it be related to the murder?" ”
