"What does General Shan plan to do with me?"

Since he dared to act so blatantly, he must have sufficient evidence in his hands.

Thinking of the agreement he signed with the Zhang family, his heart was completely chilled.

Although he didn't sign it, he was the middleman. Shan Li himself was the best witness.

It cannot be refuted.

"That depends on what choice Lord Chu wants to make."

Chu Huaian immediately understood what he meant.

"General Shan wants me to provide you with clues about other people, and preferably a tainted witness."

"Lord Chu is indeed clever. If I receive Lord Chu's help, I will naturally report the truth to His Majesty."

"So what benefits can I get?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Li glanced at him sideways, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain and contempt.

At this time, you can still ask such a question. You are really shameless.

Shan Li's eyes were direct and undisguised, and Chu Huaian naturally saw it.

He doesn't care about these trivial things now. What he wants is real benefits.

"I know that if my case were handled according to the law, I would die a hundred times. However, everyone wants to live. I am no exception. Your Majesty attaches so much importance to Jiangnan that he sent General Shan and Princess Anguo here. He must have made a great decision."

"If I can help Your Majesty accomplish this, I don't want any reward. I just want to retire to the mountains and spend the rest of my life after the success." Chu Huaian felt that there was no reason for them not to agree to the condition he proposed.

Basically, you don’t have to pay anything, just give yourself a thumbs up at the end.

Shan Li couldn't help but sneer after hearing this. "Master Chu is right. No one doesn't want to live. But what about the common people who are being toyed with by you? Do they want to live?"

"You artificially created disasters and used them to extort money and grain from the imperial court. You kept the money and grain for yourselves and resold them for profit. You completely ignored the victims, leaving them to fend for themselves. Chu Huaian, how many people have died at your hands during the years you've been in power?! Can you even count them yourself?!"

"I'm sitting here now to give you a chance to atone for your sins, not to force you to do anything. If you agree, I can promise to give you a quick death afterward and not let you die a capital punishment. If you don't agree, that's fine too. It'll just take a little more effort. Now that you're here, I've already made preparations."

Shan Li's voice became colder and colder, and Chu Huaian couldn't help but shudder when he heard it.

I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"me……"

Shan Li raised her hand to stop him from finishing his words, "Chu Huaian, I'll only give you one night. If you haven't made a choice by tomorrow morning, then I'll make the choice for you."

After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving Chu Huaian alone in the yard.

Of course, there are people guarding this place, both openly and covertly, so there's no way to escape. You can only stay put.

The change of ownership of the Chu family happened in a short while, and the women and children in the backyard were controlled before they could even react.

Except for Chu Huaian, everyone was herded together. The masters were in the house, while the servants were all crowded in the yard.

A group of guards armed with knives were guarding the place and no one was allowed to run around.

One of the servants tried to force his way out, but was chopped to death by a knife.

The headless corpse and the blood on the ground finally calmed everyone down.
