Chapter 1052: Death Without Peace

```

Chapter 1052

There are many ways to send someone to their death: with a knife, a gun, poison, fire… With earnest thought, one finds the methods are indeed inexhaustible.

Qi Jiguang knew he had embarked on a path of no return, defying the imperial command and feigning the sacred decree—either way, it was a capital offense. After the deed was done, although Li Xingzai would not necessarily send him to his death, the Emperor's wrath could very well be more than he could bear.

But Qi Jiguang didn't feel he had done anything wrong. Keeping Cheng Dalei alive would only spell endless trouble. If he cooked the raw rice into a done deal by acting first and reporting later, he would bear any rage that Li Xingzai might truly harbor.

After much thought, Qi Jiguang came up with a method: to bury Cheng Dalei alive.

The order came from Qi Jiguang, and the ten guards proceeded to carry it out. The time would be tonight, and the place was within the Heavenly Dungeon.
