Chapter 1203: A dinner party full of "drunk chapters"

cell.

"Tell me, who ordered you to kill me?"

Looking at a deacon in the cell, Cui Tianrui said lightly.

Hearing this, the deacon immediately defended himself, "Master Cui, I am innocent!"

"Why would I want to kill you for no reason?"

"It's hard to say. I just arrested you a few days ago, and then I was assassinated."

"You said it wasn't you, do you have any evidence?"

"No, your assassination has nothing to do with me!"

"Master Cui, please don't spit blood at me!"

Seeing that the man in front of him still refused to give in, Cui Tianrui stood up and walked up to him and said.

"Deacon Zhao, you have been working in the Cui family for more than three thousand years. I believe you know the rules of the Cui family better than I do."

"To tell you the truth, the one who assassinated me was just a steward from District 68."

"We have investigated clearly whether there are other people behind him."

"But the problem is, I didn't bring you in for this assassination."

"You should know clearly what I want."

"Also, I forgot to tell you that the ancestor ordered a thorough investigation into the assassination attempt on me."

"If I can't get anything out of you, then the family law enforcement team will come."

Hearing Cui Tianrui's words, Deacon Zhao sighed softly, and finally could only nod helplessly.

Because the situation is now irreversible, continuing to resist will only lead to death.

Cui Tianrui holds the ancestor's decree, and no one is allowed to interfere with his investigation.

If I don't cooperate with him, he will definitely pin the blame of the assassination on me.

The worst consequence of embezzling resources is expulsion from the Cui family, but assassinating a direct descendant of the Cui family is a capital crime.

Deacon Zhao could still tell which was more important.

"Okay, since Master Cui has said this, I will tell you everything I know."

"I never thought that you are so experienced at such a young age. I admire you!"

......

Time passed little by little.

In just half a day, all the cell managers had confessed.

He came to Chen Changsheng carrying a large box full of evidence.

Cui Tianrui said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, this trick of yours really works well."

"I just give them a little scare and they confess everything."

Glancing at the excited Shuiyue and Cui Tianrui, Chen Changsheng said lightly.

"They are not stupid. Assassinating the Cui family is a capital crime. They will not bear such a crime."

"Using one's position to amass huge wealth is a crime that will at most lead to punishment."

"Besides, they are all making money for the people above them. Once the recent limelight is over, someone will naturally come to protect them."

“When weighing two benefits, choose the greater one; when weighing two harms, choose the lesser one.”

"They know this better than you."

After listening to Chen Changsheng's words, Cui Tianrui said, "Brother-in-law, what should we do now? Should we just hand over the evidence?"

"Of course not. Leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future."

“Although we need to clear the Qinghe Boundary, there is no need to force others to death.”

"You should copy all the evidence and send them to the heads of each family according to their factions."

"Within twelve hours, they will automatically go to the ancestor to apologize."

After saying that, Chen Changsheng staggered away into the distance.

Cui Tianrui asked in confusion: "Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"I'm going to go back and wash up and change my clothes. I have a feeling someone is going to treat me to dinner this afternoon."

"Also, you should prepare yourself. I guess someone will treat you to a meal when the time comes."

......

The Palace of the Eight Sages.

"Hahaha!"

"Third uncle is so polite, how can I let you come out to greet me in person?"

Looking at the Eighth Wise King at the door, Chen Changsheng immediately stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

Seeing this, the Eighth Wise King also said with a smile on his face.

"We are one family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. My dear son-in-law has been in Qinghejie for quite some time."

"As the third uncle, I will naturally host a banquet."

"And I've invited a good son-in-law today, a guest you'd never expect."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "Uncle San said that. I am very curious!"

"Then I'll trouble Uncle San to introduce you to me!"

"No problem, come with me."

Chen Changsheng and the Eighth Wise King walked in, talking and laughing.

After Chen Changsheng went in, a young man also came out.

"Xiao Tianrui, long time no see, I hope you are well!"

Seeing the young man, Cui Tianrui grinned and said, "Brother Ziheng, when did you come back?"

"I just got back a while ago, and I heard that you've been making great strides recently, so I invited you to come over for a get-together."

"I see. Then we have to get drunk tonight!"

"Okay, you two, please."

Cui Ziheng made an invitation gesture, and Shuiyue and Cui Tianrui also walked into the Eighth Sage Prince's Palace.

......

East Hall.

"I didn't expect that Third Uncle actually invited Second Uncle to come."

"I really didn't expect this!"

Looking at Cui Xingye who was in high spirits, Chen Changsheng quickly pretended to be surprised.

Seeing this, Cui Xingye also enthusiastically invited Chen Changsheng to take a seat.

For a moment, the three of them toasted each other, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

At the same time, the banquet in the West Hall began.

Except for a few people, almost all the direct descendants of the thirteenth branch of the Cui family were present.

Its importance is rare in the Cui family in the past hundred years.

......

An hour later.

Chen Changsheng, who had drunk a lot of wine, was already a little drunk.

The Eighth Sage King grabbed Chen Changsheng's right hand and said with sleepy eyes: "My dear son-in-law, everyone outside calls me the Eighth Sage King."

"Everyone thinks I am the most glorious one, but I am suffering inside!"

Hearing the Eighth Wise King complaining, Cui Xingye also grabbed Chen Changsheng's left hand and said.

"Third brother, your suffering is nothing compared to that. I, the second brother, am the one who suffers the most."

"The ancestor forced me to be the clan leader, but I really don't want to be one!"

"If things are not done well, the ancestors will blame me. If things are done well, you will blame me again. What do you think I should do?"

In response to Cui Xingye's words, the Eighth Wise King spoke.

"This is all your fault, second brother. If you had known this job would be so troublesome, you shouldn't have accepted it in the first place."

"If there is anything, I, as your brother, will take care of it for you."

The two of them talked more and more drunkenly, and seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Cui Xingye waved his hand.

"Third brother, neither of us has any say. Let me, your son-in-law, tell you who is suffering the most."

After saying this, the Eighth Wise King and Cui Xingye both looked at Chen Changsheng.

"Uncles, as the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work."

"You are all rare heroes in the world, so it is only right that you take on more responsibilities."

"And in my humble opinion, both of you are suffering."

Chen Changsheng ignored the two's words and started to smooth things over.

Seeing this, the Eighth Wise King naturally refused to give up.

"My dear son-in-law, what you said is wrong."
