Chapter 72 Induce a confession

Lu Li said calmly, "You killed them."

Pi Cheng did not plead guilty, he tilted his head and paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled strangely, "I didn't kill anyone."

"The sluts deserve to die, but I didn't kill them." He looked at Lu Li, smiling slowly and wildly, "If you say I killed people, then show the evidence."

These words were quite provocative, Shen Wansha was so angry that he almost rushed over to beat him up, but Lu Li seemed unaffected, without blinking his eyes, as if this matter was not worth mentioning.

He also smiled and rested his chin, and chatted about another topic with great interest, "Pi Cheng, do you know that the Hua family abandoned you, you deserve it, who told you that you can't be sexual, and that a man can't show his glory?"

Pi Cheng was shocked, "Ms. Hua is a lustful slut who hates the poor and loves the rich. She left because she thought I was poor!"

"You can't even stand up there, you can only vent your anger on prostitutes." Lu Li didn't answer his words, his voice was slow and long, full of pity and sarcasm.

Picheng's eyelids twitched, and his eyes were about to bulge out, "I can get up! They all said it was good when I was doing it! I can make you feel good too, if you don't believe me, come and try—"

Suddenly a stone flew over and hit his tooth, blood flowed from his mouth immediately, the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak.

Even so, he still stared at Lu Li crazily, with somewhat obscene and profane eyes.

Lu Li turned his head to look at the direction the stone was coming from, and saw that Zhao Zhu's wrist was turned back, his face was gloomy, and there was a kind of hostility that wanted to kill this person immediately, so he immediately waved his hand quietly at him to let him not be impulsive.

Zhao Zhu's gaze was like a cold sword, and his clenched fist was not loose.

Lu Li coughed twice.

It wasn't until Zhao Zhu frowned and nodded that Lu Li looked at Pi Cheng again, "They..." Although the voice was elongated and full of hidden meaning, he didn't continue to ask, and his expression was even a little careless, "It doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty, I I don't force you, but if you call them sluts, you should know something about them. I'm very interested in this, how about you tell me about it?"

Pi Cheng was breathing rapidly, his eyes flickering.

He won't plead guilty, but the person in front of him seems to have investigated him, and he knows some things very clearly. The word 'no' is a scar engraved on his heart, which is like an extremely painful touch, as long as this person doesn't mention it again. , he is willing to cooperate with one or two.

This is a private house, not a government office. Is there a prison, and there are no officials with water and fire sticks. No one pays attention to the death of a bitch in a brothel, and this person should be the same.He was not angry at him for not pleading guilty, and what he probably wanted to know was something else...

It is obvious that Pi Cheng is not stupid for killing so many people in a planned way. Although he is a little crazy, his rationality has not completely disappeared. After thinking clearly, he tentatively raised a topic, "Those bitches hid a few secret books."

"Oh? Hidden tent? Let's hear it." Lu Li lowered his eyebrows, as if deliberately hiding the emotions in his eyes.

He was really interested!

The hands behind Pi Cheng's back were clenched into fists, "Corruption is prevalent among officials who cleverly set up their names. They try their best to collect the people's fat and anoint them, and return the officials to protect each other. We wait for the suffering of the people and have nowhere to complain. It's the most pathetic! In the meantime, I heard more money-greedy exchanges, but refused to stand up for self-protection! A few top players secretly copied down the roster while the nobleman was sleeping, and they only wanted to exchange it for more money when the time was right. A whore is innocent!"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, showing a smug smile, "They are not good people, it's good if I have the opportunity to 'take' things out to make them feel sad and afraid."

Shen Wansha wanted to scold people when he heard it, and said that other people would not let these things be exposed in broad daylight, and their character is low. Didn't you hide it when you stole it and didn't dare to reveal it?Who are you nobler than?

But he knew that the timing was very good and he couldn't disrupt Lu Li's confession, so he kept his mouth tightly shut, thinking that the young master must scold you after the interrogation in a while.

Lu Li's dark eyes seemed to be flickering with excitement, "You said that this dark tent... is in your hands?"

"Yes, the secret account does not have a register." Pi Cheng's eyelids trembled, "The murder has nothing to do with me, but I did steal from others. If the government punishes me for stealing, I will admit it."

Lu Li tapped the table with his fingertips, "If you are willing to give me the list of hidden accounts, I will help you cover up the theft, how about it?"

With ecstasy in his eyes, Pi Cheng lowered his head so that no one could see his expression, and replied in a rough voice, "I don't know who you are, so how can I easily give you something to save my life."

"It's okay if you don't know each other. Let me introduce myself and you will know."

Lu Li's voice was light, as if he was very happy, "I am the clerk sent by the inspector to fight the front station. Do you know the inspector? It is a senior official sent by the emperor to supervise the prison and review officials in various places. My lord is very busy. Some places are slow, so let me come over to see if there is anything bad..."

Lu Li lied without changing his face, and he didn't know how he made it up. He said clearly and logically about things that were obviously irrelevant, and the atmosphere created was still very tense. , is about to kill the Quartet, just waiting for the evidence of the secret account, if Pi Cheng can present the evidence, it will be a great achievement, he can get a silver reward, and even a plaque from the official. As for the murder of the prostitute in the brothel, there is nothing wrong mention.

Pi Cheng seemed to talk to him quietly, the two gradually formed a tacit understanding and made a deal, Pi Cheng told the location of the account book, and Lu Li also asked Zhao Zhu to untie him.

But when Pi Cheng didn't care, Lu Li gave Zhao Zhu a wink: I'm going to get the account book later.

Zhao Zhu looked out the window, only two heads could be seen on the courtyard wall in the distance, presumably someone went there when he heard Pi Cheng's confession... He was very satisfied.

After untiing, the two sat opposite each other, and the distance seemed to be closer.Lu Li and Pi Cheng talked about prostitutes again, saying that these people are lowly and shameless, and Pi Cheng's eyes are slightly bright, and they have a common language about this.

"Women should be chaste and quiet first, and if they are lustful, they should be immersed in a pig cage!"

"that is!"

"If there is an act of adultery, it should be killed immediately, but it will not violate the criminal law!"

"that is!"

……

"Sigh, Liu Wen, the scholar who has a good relationship with Chen Jiaojiao, is a talented scholar with a bright future, because such a prostitute doesn't want to go to the capital to study and reference, it's a pity."

After Lu Li finished speaking, Pi Cheng clenched his fists unwillingly, "Who says it's not, you good man, how can you stop for a bitch!"

"So Chen Jiaojiao's death is really timely. After she dies, Liu Wen will be able to forget about love, go to the capital to study and take an exam, and he may become a member of the party soon. He should also thank the murderer!"

"This... also."

"The murderer is a good man who punishes evil and promotes good!"

"...he's just doing justice, too."

"After talking for a long time, I have always had a question that I don't understand." Lu Li smiled, and his voice was soft, as if he was discussing, "You are pushing a wooden barrel to sell peach blossom tea, and you can only let Chen Jiaojiao drink it when you send it to the brothel. How do you subdue her? You must know that the room with the red card must be watched at any time, if she calls for help, you will definitely not be able to run away."

"It's not easy." Pi Cheng's eyes were full of pride, "I put medicine in the tea, and she would want to go to the toilet without a cup of tea. The latrines used by red cards like Chen Jiaojiao are different from others. I just need to Waiting by the side, knocking her on the back of the neck when she is not paying attention, and then avoiding people to put her in the bucket..."

Pi Cheng even made gestures while talking, until he noticed that Lu Li's brows and eyes were slanted and his face was condensed, and he didn't recall it.

Thinking about what he said just now, Pi Cheng immediately jumped up, "You lied to me!"

"But you confessed it yourself, you put medicine in Chen Jiaojiao's tea, and knocked her out when she went to the toilet..." Lu Li's eyes twitched slightly, very satisfied.

"I killed you—" Pi Cheng rushed forward.

With a sweep of Zhao Zhu's long legs, he kicked the person to the wall, stopped for a while before sliding down.

Pi Cheng had a sharp pain in his chest, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and could barely get up.

Lu Li walked over and squatted in front of him, "Look, you said it yourself, so let's do it all. To tell you the truth, if I catch you today, I will make you confess. I struggle."

He turned sideways, revealing the domineering and cruel Zhao Zhu behind him.

Pi Cheng's eyelids tightened, and he felt pain everywhere in his body.

"You have committed such a heinous crime, so don't even think about exempting yourself from punishment. You will definitely die, but if you have a correct attitude, I can try to make your death easier."

Picheng's body trembled, he clenched his teeth and did not move.

Lu Li said again, "I always keep my word. You are a native and know a lot about the government. How to choose is up to you."

After speaking, he clapped his hands and stood up.

Shen Wansha looked at him with bright eyes, and almost couldn't hold back and pounced on him again, it was too powerful!But in a few words, the murderer was coaxed to recruit himself!

Zhao Zhu caught a glimpse of the hand dangling on the wall outside the window, and knew that the account book had been obtained. He was not as patient as Lu Li, and he only waited for a moment. Before Pi Cheng could say anything, he turned his wrist and moved forward with a murderous look. gone.

Pi Cheng was injured again and again because of him, how could he not be afraid to see him coming now, and immediately shouted, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

"Brother Zhao." Lu Li stopped Zhao Zhu, and looked at Pi Cheng with a smile, "Let's talk."

Zhao Zhu clicked his tongue softly, seemingly dissatisfied, as if he felt that it was just right to kill such a disgusting murderer, and it didn't matter whether he recruited or not.Picheng's sharp gaze swept over him like a knife scraping a whip, and Pi Cheng's attitude became more positive, "I said—"

……

It turned out that as Lu Li expected, Pi Cheng used the opportunity of selling peach blossom soup to get to know the prostitutes of various brothels. When things went wrong for him, he would subconsciously kidnap the girl he thought should be killed, humiliate and brutally kill them. .

"They are all sluts! Before I took out the knife, they kept admitting their mistakes and begging for mercy. They knew they had done something wrong and knew they deserved to die! They laughed at me more than once, but they could also groan when I messed with them, no What is a bitch! I don't even want to do such a person!"

"But I still kindly touch up their makeup and let them die beautifully. They should thank me! All the ignorant people who have been tricked by them should thank me!"

"But they are all living beings, Picheng, do you know that they have difficulties?" Lu Li sighed softly, "It is pitiful for women to live in the land of fireworks, and they have to force themselves to make ends meet in order to make ends meet. Adapt, how do you know that they pick up guests voluntarily? Do you know what kind of hell they have experienced?"

"For example, this Chen Jiaojiao, yes, she is a red card, actively accepting customers, and even when she was friendly with the scholar Liu Wen, she didn't cut off her own business, but she is not like you said that she hates the poor and loves the rich. She redeemed herself. She didn't want to commit herself to the official Jia. If she thought so, she would have been brought into the mansion as a concubine. Is scholar Liu Wen really that pitiful? He has never spent money in brothels, and on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, he went there specifically to break up with Chen Jiaojiao."

Lu Li didn't ask Liu Wen for questioning before, and the suspect became clearer day by day, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Wen anymore, but he always felt that if Chen Jiaojiao didn't die, Liu Wen might not be able to achieve good things with her.

"As for the quarrel you mentioned, when teeth and tongues are bitten, there is no couple in this world who does not quarrel, but you think it is unforgivable, Pi Cheng, you are too extreme."

Pi Cheng looked at Lu Li bitterly, "You didn't see it, how do you know they are innocent!"

"I have a lot of investigation data in my hand. Among the people you killed, there were indeed those who were too dissolute and unworthy of character, but more than half of them loved themselves. What do you have to do with such a nice way to earn money? Even the law is a bit far-fetched, so why do you have any reason to kill them?"

Pi Chengwei felt a little guilty, and thought he was right from the beginning to the end, "They deserve to die for colluding with the government!" He spoke in a loud voice, as if he was in pain, "There is no fairness in this world, no justice, no law They are all weapons in the hands of high-ranking officials, to control us ordinary people and make us obedient! I can't kill officials, but I can kill these sluts!"

"My father will die because of the bullying by the government officials back then. It took only one month to spend all the money in the family. It would take half a day for people to carry me out. I was imprisoned by the surname Cai. If my mother was not here I'm struggling to save you outside, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my life. But I'm alive, but my mother is dead..."

After finishing speaking, Pi Cheng suddenly looked at his hands and smiled sadly and madly, "The law is the law of the nobles, not ours... Hahahaha it's not ours!"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

There was a wind blowing through the window, with a slightly damp cool air, as if it was going to rain.

Lu Li closed his eyes, walked up to Pi Cheng, and looked at him firmly, "The law is not noble, and the rope is not bent. What is imposed by the law, the wise can't quit, and the brave can't dare to fight. Punishment does not escape the minister." , Rewarding goodness does not spare everyone. The law is the foundation of the country, and no one can override it."

"Great Xia has a vast territory, and the number of officials is incalculable. I don't deny that there will be corrupt people who use power for personal gain, but the Skynet is not missing, and they will definitely get what they deserve!"

The young man in front of him is unparalleled in handsomeness, like a piece of beautiful jade, warm and lustrous.At this moment, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were clear and pure, like the bright moon in the sky, and his expression was so firm when he said these words, as if this was his lifelong belief, inviolable and profane.

Pi Cheng turned his head away.

"Justice exists forever, as long as you are willing to fight for it. But if you walk on this road of no return, with evil thoughts in your heart and blood on your hands, you are already the same as those wicked people. You may not see the happy moment when they are punished."

Lu Li's voice was slightly slow, "It's a pity."

Pi Cheng was not angry, and turned his head to stare at Lu Li, "I'm afraid you are too naive. In this huge officialdom, the huge Chengdu Mansion, what can you do as a foreigner?"

Lu Li straightened his clothes, smiling like spring water, "I'll let you know."
