Chapter 330 Shut up, then you can eat meat
Chenpi fell to the end of the crowd, looking thoughtfully in the direction where the little boy left. After a moment, he set his gaze on Zheng Sicheng lying on the ground.
A faint smile flashed in his eyes, and then he waved to two clerks and told them to send the man back home.
At this moment, another temple official came hurriedly and said to him softly: "Master Chen, Qingsong has awakened. Master Lu, please go and interrogate him first."
Chen Pi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself, "This person wakes up really quickly," and walked quickly towards the Dali Temple.
Qingsong's cell was located in the deepest part of the dungeon, and it was also the cleanest and brightest of all the cells. It was unlike the other cells which were damp and rotten and emitted a disgusting smell.
Chen Pi covered his nose as he walked through the narrow and winding passage. He nodded slightly to his cousin Chen Lang who had been waiting outside, then asked the warden to open the cell and walked in with him.
Just as he told Wan Niang, he would definitely be able to find out something this time.
As long as the prisoner showed a hint of emotion in front of him, he would be able to grab hold of him and attack his heart, forcing him to reveal the truth.
Attacking the body has always been an inferior method, while attacking the mind is the best method.
Chenpi raised his eyes slightly and looked at the man lying on the bed.
Qingsong had indeed woken up, and his eyes were no longer as empty and lifeless as before. The hatred he had before had not completely dissipated, but it was slowly fading away.
Chen Pi brought a chair and sat down calmly not far away. He stared at Qingsong quietly for a moment before slowly saying, "I know that you didn't kill Nalan Qingye, but you were determined to die so you took the blame for someone else. You are a man of the world, and you have great ambitions and righteousness in your heart. That person helped you get revenge and did things that you couldn't do, so you wanted to repay the favor with your life."
However, Qingsong was unmoved by these words.
Chen Pi touched his chin and continued, "After all, you are no longer a man. Men can't do it, and women can't do it either, haha."
Qingsong's eyebrows moved slightly, and his gaze turned to Chenpi, with a fierce fire of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
Chen Pi raised his lips slightly, "I know you hate the Nalan family in your heart, but you are afraid to speak out. After all, you don't even hide your hatred for children."
"However, Qingsong, since you have entered here, you are given the opportunity to cooperate with the court. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean the court can't do it."
As soon as these words came out, the light in Qingsong's eyes slowly faded away, and he muttered, "Cooperating with the court makes people in the martial arts world despise me."
"Oh, if you become a eunuch, you won't be laughed at? Why are you so stubborn?" Chen Pi said with a smile, and was immediately met with hateful gaze from the person opposite him.
Chen Pi took out a dime from his waist, played with it gently in his hand, and looked at him with a joking expression, "You don't have to worry about me telling this to others. After all, a dying person has no reason to talk. Oh, I forgot... there is also a Lin Yining, you don't have to be afraid, the child doesn't understand, at most he will go home and ask what a eunuch is, and then forget it the moment he turns around."
He held the silver between his fingers and turned it slowly, looking at it with interest for a while, and then turned his gaze to Qingsong again, "Lin Yining returned this silver to me, asked me to buy you meat, and asked me to persuade you not to cry."
Just as Chenpi expected, the little boy was very important to Qingsong. As soon as he finished speaking, his cheeks puffed up and he stared at the silver with gritted teeth.
Chen Pi slightly relaxed his brows, and the doubts in his heart became even greater, but he did not show it on his face. He continued with a smile and said, "She asked me to tell you not to be afraid if you are sick. She is taking medicine from the Medicine Valley and is in good health."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person opposite him froze in that instant.
Qingsong did not get furious as Chenpi had expected. Instead, his expression gradually became stunned. He even looked at him in disbelief, and asked with a trembling mouth, "What did you say?"
Chen Pi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he replied calmly, "You should understand what I said, Qingsong."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qingsong's expression became quite complicated, with astonishment, shock, unwillingness, and excitement appearing one after another. Finally, he closed his eyes as if accepting his fate, but his face also became firm.
Chen Pi knew the time had come, and he extended an olive branch of cooperation at the right time, "Since you didn't kill anyone, I can let you live happily. If you cooperate with me, I can report to the emperor and reward you with a large sum of money, and you can live a rich life for the rest of your life."
"If you can help me, I will help you." Qingsong finally gave in.
Chen Pi also showed a satisfied smile, winked at Chen Lang, and saw him take out a pen and paper to start recording, then he asked the first question, "Who killed Nalan Qingye?"
"do not know."
Chen Pi nodded and said, "It's my fault. I already know a thing or two about who that person is. He is eight feet tall, with a square face. He looks very honest, but he is so strong that he can break Nalan Qingye's skull into pieces."
He looked at Qingsong sharply and asked, "Yes or no."
Qingsong pursed his lips and said nothing. He just glanced at Chenpi and then turned his gaze away.
Chen Pi understood what was going on and chuckled, "That man's name is Wang Lin, the person you hate - Lin Yining's second uncle. You are helping him take the blame, right?"
When Qingsong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his brain reacted and he shouted excitedly, "I already said that I was the one who killed Nalan Qingye, why are you wrongly accusing a good man, bah, you dog official."
There was a flash of surprise in Chen Pi's calm eyes. As delicate as he was, an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind.
And at this moment, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart, making him instantly alert.
Before Chen Pi could think about it, he was pushed hard by Chen Lang beside him and fell to the ground. At the same time, a slight sound of breaking through the air came into his ears, and he saw a five-inch long nail flying past the place where he was sitting at an astonishing speed and shooting straight towards Qingsong. Fortunately, Qingsong was good at fighting and easily knocked the nail off with shackles.
Then, a man in black rushed in like a ghost. He was holding a short sword and was agile. In the blink of an eye, he started a fierce fight with the quick-reacting Chen Lang.
"You naughty boy, find a place to hide quickly! This guy's target is not you!" Chen Lang shouted to him anxiously while fighting with the man in black.
Chen Pi looked at the prison robber and then at the dead body of the warden at the door, and the little boy's warning to him emerged in his mind.
At this time, Qingsong said in a cold voice, "Let me go if you want to live. Your accomplices can't deal with this man."
Chen Pi stood up in a panic, stood aside, and said, "You killed Nalan Qingye, and you will surely die if I let you go."
"Tsk, if that's the case, let's die together!" Qingsong shrugged nonchalantly. "Your accomplice is no match for him, Qingzhu's skills are only inferior to mine."
Chen Pi looked up and his pupils shrank. In just a few words, his cousin had countless injuries and his clothes were stained with blood.
His mind was full of thoughts, and he gritted his teeth, took out the key and unlocked Qingsong's shackles.
Chen Lang accidentally saw this scene and exclaimed, "Little Pi, what are you doing?"
Chen Pi ignored Chen Lang and whispered to Qing Song, "You can't get close to Lin Yining. Only I can help you."
Qingsong gave him a disdainful look, loosened his grip, and laughed out loud, while the man in black was still being entangled, he escaped from the dungeon.
Seeing this, the man in black also left Chen Lang behind and quickly chased after him.
Chen Lang wanted to do the same, but Chen Pi stopped him and said, "Uncle, don't chase him. He will come back to find me."
Chen Lang covered his wound and angrily shouted, "You little rascal, as an official appointed by the imperial court, how can you let the prisoner go?"
Chen Pi stood up indifferently and said nonchalantly, "This person is not as important as my uncle."
Chen Lang: ...
Afterwards, Chen Pi leaned against the wall, laughed softly for a long time, and finally said self-deprecatingly, "I never thought that I would be used by a child and unknowingly helped him make a deal. Uncle, I need to meet Lin Yining in private once more. This person is very interesting."
"Are you crazy..." Chen Lang couldn't help but ask.
Soon, the other two officials and their men hurried over. Lu Cheng'an saw that the place was in a mess and even the prisoners were missing. Just as he was about to reprimand them, he heard the young official inside say, "Lord Lu, Qingsong told me that there was a traitor in the Dali Temple."
Everyone:...
