Chapter 274 The Truth
"Why did you come just now? I've been sending you signals for a few days?" The second elder met with the spy hiding in the tribe again. He sat in the chair and said resentfully.
Under the dim oil lamp, the man stood in the dark, making it difficult to see his features. He said, "The people over there at Ye Li are watching you closely, so I naturally can't come over quickly."
"Tell me, what should we do now? Even if I occupy those fields and the tree house, I can't manage it all by myself. I won't be able to harvest much from the crops in the fields." The second elder said, "Besides, those people are staying well with Ye Li and probably won't come back."
"Don't worry about that," the figure in the darkness said. "Just keep your place safe. The situation will change drastically in a few days. If it's nothing urgent, don't look for me. If I'm discovered, we'll all be doomed."
"Hehe..." The second elder laughed strangely twice.
"What are you laughing at?" the person in the darkness was puzzled.
Suddenly, four or five people rushed in from outside the house, pounced on the person in the dark, grabbed him to the ground, and tied him up with ropes.
The spy struggled desperately, but the enemy was outnumbered and captured him in no time.
More people came into the house, and the torches in their hands lit up the entire tree house.
The people who came in were Ye Li and her followers. Ye Li looked at the spy captured by Li Yuan and his men and was startled for a moment, "Wu Liang?"
Wu Liang's lips curled up into a mocking smile. "It's like capsizing in a ditch. I never thought I'd be tricked by this old guy."
The Second Elder rushed over and groveled before Ye Li, saying, "Great Elder, it's him! He's the spy hiding in our forest tribe. Now that I've helped you capture him, can I return to your tribe? Don't worry, I'll definitely obey you and do what you say from now on."
Li Yuan looked at him and cursed, "You spineless thing."
The Second Elder fell to his knees with a plop. His face was covered in snot and tears as he cried, "Yes, I am a spineless person. I shouldn't have been tricked by this guy into becoming an enemy of you, the First Elder."
"Alright, get up." Ye Li instructed Li Yuan, "Take Wu Liang to the interrogation room, and then ask Jiang Mei and her child to come over."
"Don't hurt them." Wu Liang jumped up suddenly. Fortunately, Li Yuan and others quickly held him down. Wu Liang looked at Ye Li with pleading eyes and said, "I did all these things alone. My wife and children have nothing to do with it. They don't know anything about it."
"take away."
Li Yuan and others immediately carried Wu Liang away, and Ye Li followed behind them. As for the second elder, someone would make arrangements for him. From now on, he would no longer have the identity of the second elder, but would be just an ordinary person who needed to rely on labor to make a living.
Two days ago, when Xiao Xun took her and the child to play in the woods, they were stopped by the second elder.
At that time, the second elder was extremely hungry. When he saw Ye Li, he knelt down immediately, confessed and begged for mercy, and said that he could cooperate with him to catch the spy.
At that time, Ye Li was still skeptical and did not dare to believe this cunning Second Elder.
But when Xixi gave the small steamed bun she had with her to the Second Elder, and the Second Elder ate it ravenously as if he had never eaten in his life, Ye Li believed that the Second Elder was really starving.
So, with the cooperation of the second elder, Ye Li and others set up an ambush, lured Wu Liang into the trap, and captured Wu Liang in one fell swoop.
I guess Wu Liang himself didn't expect that the second elder was such a shameless person. A few days ago, he said he would never surrender even if he died, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy to Ye Li.
