Chapter 89: 84 Spy_2

After all, Xu Dali’s two sons had already been caught, so there was no fear he wouldn’t confess.

Xu Dali lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Spare my two sons, they are still young and know nothing."

Ding Zhigang nodded and said, "As long as you confess willingly, considering our past relationship, I will plead for mercy from Lord County Magistrate on your behalf."

Xu Dali hesitated for a moment and confessed, "About a year and a half ago, someone approached me and asked me to watch the County Government gateway to see who was coming and going. For instance, if some important person left, I was to promptly release the news."

Ding Zhigang asked, "How did you release the news?"

Xu Dali said, "I know how to write, so I would write a note and put it into a takeout package, then have my son run an errand to deliver it to Hanxiang Building and that was enough."

Ding Zhigang understood and asked, "Who was the person who recruited you?"

Xu Dali shook his head and said, "I don’t know. That person concealed his face, and never told me his name."

Ding Zhigang frowned and said, "What, you’ve been risking your life for someone whose face you’ve never seen?"

Xu Dali raised his head, a difficult to describe cold smile on his face, and angrily said, "As long as I can get revenge, I am willing to do anything."

"Revenge?" Ding Zhigang’s heart skipped a beat, and he slowly stood up, leaving the prison cell.

Fang Zhixing asked, "What revenge?"

Ding Zhigang curled his lips and said, "Xu Dali’s wife was killed when a drunk Dong Xianhe crashed into her with his horse, and it seems that afterwards Dong Xianhe neither compensated nor apologized, he even beat up Xu Dali."

Fang Zhixing was speechless, it was that Dong Xianhe again!

He pondered and said, "Xu Dali, on the outside of the Government Office, could have only limited access to internal news. Therefore, there must be an accomplice inside."

Ding Zhigang fully agreed and sighed, "Wait and see, the master may have already caught that person, and is interrogating him privately right now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a Government Official ran in hastily, reporting, "Chief, Yu Lan has been captured and brought back to the County Government!"

Ding Zhigang took a deep breath and called out, "Brother, let’s go and take a look."

Naturally, Fang Zhixing was eager to go.

As they walked out together, a harrowing scream suddenly reached their ears.

Fang Zhixing looked toward the sound and saw Luo Kezhao catching someone dressed in the uniform of a Government Official, beating him with fists and feet, as the man pleaded miserably for mercy.

"Second Young Master, please spare my life, please stop beating me!"

"I was wrong, how about I offer my wife to you?"

Luo Kezhao, as if he heard nothing, kicked viciously toward the man’s crotch and stomped down hard.

"Dong Xianhe?" Fang Zhixing guessed.

Ding Zhigang’s face darkened, and he nodded, walking over unhurriedly.

"Chief Constable, save me!" Dong Xianhe shouted loudly.

However, Ding Zhigang just felt annoyed and didn’t even glance at him.

A moment later, they arrived outside the Punishment Room.

Luo Peiyun and Luo Qianqian had already arrived earlier.

Yu Lan was sitting on a chair, her clothes disheveled, her beauty marred, yet her eyes were defiant.

She was not trained in martial arts, just a delicate woman, and as someone of low status, she should have been at the mercy of others.

But no one expected that she had been involved in major crimes such as robbing army funds and attempting to assassinate Lord County Magistrate, playing a significant role.

Luo Peiyun stood with his hands behind his back, indifferently saying, "Yu Lan, often there are buyers and sellers in an information network, and you happen to be in the middle. Your buyer has already been caught."

Yu Lan’s face changed, and she scoffed, "Death is but a small price to pay."

"Oh, quite tough, aren’t we," Luo Qianqian said, suddenly interested, her ardor for conquest sparked by Yu Lan’s defiance. Curiously, she asked, "Why did you become a bandit?"

Yu Lan angrily said, "Why, why do you think? Why were you born as the daughter of an Aristocratic Family, and I as lowly-born, doomed to only be an actress, subject to other’s whims?"

Luo Qianqian laughed and said, "That is fate. The heavens made me a daughter of an Aristocratic Family, they made you lowly-born. To defy us is to go against heaven’s will, a sure path to death!"

Yu Lan laughed and said, "Go ahead, kill me, there are thousands and thousands of me, we cannot be all killed!"

Luo Qianqian also laughed and said, "The more the better. ’Leeks’ must be cut batch after batch, and you need to be killed wave after wave. This makes the game more enjoyable."

Yu Lan cursed, "Beasts, you are worse than animals!"

Luo Qianqian leisurely took out silver needles, smiling happily, "Curse away, go ahead and curse, you’ll soon get what’s coming."

After a short while, Yu Lan passed out.

Her two arms had been twisted into an excruciating spiral.

Yet even so, she preferred death over dishonor, not betraying anyone.

Luo Qianqian’s face was filled with rage—this was her first time failing an interrogation, something she found utterly unbelievable; how could there be such an unyieldingly spirited woman in the world!

Luo Peiyun turned away expressionlessly and headed towards another Punishment Room.

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

The doors to the Punishment Room opened; inside, there was only one person, bound tightly and kneeling in the corner.

"Is it him?!"

As Fang Zhixing stepped through the door, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

That person was none other than Gao Daxing!

Damn it!

Appearances can be deceiving; the temporary instructor of the Archers turned out to be a spy.

"Old Gao!"

Ding Zhigang was also extremely shocked.

You can see the face but not the heart; he would have never suspected that the slippery Gao Daxing would also betray them.

Luo Peiyun said indifferently, "Old Gao, will you confess on your own, or do you prefer to suffer through severe torture before you speak?"

Gao Daxing lifted his head, sighed, and said with a sneer, "There’s no need for torture. I understand your methods. I’ll confess!"

Luo Peiyun asked, "Who is the rebel leader in my Qinglin County, how many people are there, and where are they hiding?"

Gao Daxing shook his head, "I really don’t know that. I’m just someone who passes on information; I have never met the leader.

However, I do know the name the Jianghu calls our leader, ’Greedy Wolf’, who takes great pleasure in slaying scum from families like yours!"

Luo Peiyun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he hummed, "Then how did you join the rebels? Who introduced you?"

"Ha, as if an introduction is needed?"

Gao Daxing laughed, "When the public sentiment is in favor, one call brings forth a hundred responses. I, Old Gao, have lived a life so humiliating, and the most glorious moment came when I joined the righteous army!"

"How dare you!"

Ding Zhigang burst into rage, "How dare you be so insolent before the Lord!"

Gao Daxing spoke contemptuously, "Ding Zhigang, you are nothing but a vicious dog raised by the aristocrats, so why bark so furiously?"

"..."

Ding Zhigang’s eyes widened with fury, ready to rush over and beat him.

Luo Peiyun gestured with his hand, blocking Ding Zhigang, and patiently asked, "Old Gao, I should have treated you well. Why did you betray me?"

Gao Daxing laughed bitterly twice, giving Luo Peiyun a deep look as he slowly began, "I was born in a mountain village, with parents and siblings, where the villagers lived by hunting.

One day, a group of soldiers came from outside, claiming that a young master from the Luo family was on a hunting expedition. They rounded up everyone from the village without any explanation and took us into a restricted area.

They slashed our bodies with knives, causing us to bleed incessantly. The smell of blood then drew several Mutant Beasts."

At this point, Gao Daxing’s face showed nothing but icy and hysterical hatred.

"I was the only one in the village who survived! Lord Luo, on that day, I saw the evil in people like you. You are the cancer of this world that must be eradicated!"

Gao Daxing shouted furiously.

Luo Peiyun understood, his expression unchanged, and he simply stated, "The lowly commoners, your deaths are inconsequential. To die for an aristocratic family is your honor!"

"Very good, very good!" Gao Daxing let out a mocking laugh and suddenly rammed his head into the wall.

Bang~

A patch of blood stained the wall, and Gao Daxing slowly fell to the ground, evidently beyond saving.

Ding Zhigang’s face twitched, horrified by the sight.

Fang Zhixing pursed his lips, his gaze flickering.

Luo Peiyun turned and commanded, "Give him a dignified burial. Bury him."

"Yes!" Ding Zhigang hastily responded.

Suddenly, Luo Peiyun paused mid-step, pondering for a moment, and then ordered, "Release a message; Yu Lan will be executed at noon three days from now. I want to see if those so-called heroes dare to come and rescue her from the execution ground."
