Chapter 84: Spy

"Hanxiang Tower, Yulan?!"

Luo Kezhao’s eyes suddenly widened, his whole body froze in place, and a layer of fine beads of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

Luo Peiyun glanced at his son with an intriguing expression.

"Magnolia?"

Fang Zhixing frowned slightly and suddenly shuddered.

If I remember correctly, the entertainer that Luo Kezhao favored last night was called Yulan. She was quite pretty, with a natural pink cheeks, and her looks were very attractive.

Luo Qianqian turned her head and looked at Luo Kezhao, and said in surprise: "Isn't the actress you like called Yulan? You even want to redeem her, support her, and marry her as a concubine!"

Luo Kezhao's mouth was dry, and he shook his head, "It can't be her. She is definitely not a spy. She is so well-behaved and obedient to me. How could she be in league with the rebels?"

Luo Peiyun asked indifferently, hands behind his back, "What if she is a spy?"

"this……"

Luo Kezhao's Adam's apple moved, his face flushed, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't dare to think further.

Luo Peiyun was not willing to give in and asked, "Before the military pay was robbed last time, did you tell Yulan about the transportation route of the military pay?"

"ah?!!"

Luo Kezhao took a step back in shock, as if his tail had been stepped on. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Luo Peiyun asked again: "Last time I was going to Songlin Temple to burn incense, did you tell her about it?"

Luo Kezhao's expression changed drastically. He fell to his knees with a plop, his forehead touching the ground, sweat pouring down.

Luo Peiyun sighed, slowly took out a document from his sleeve, threw it in front of Luo Kezhao, and said lightly: "Read it yourself."

Luo Kezhao opened the document with trembling hands. When he saw it, he was struck by lightning and was completely dumbfounded.

Fang Zhixing took a few secret glances and was immediately shocked.

The document recorded Yulan's daily life over the past few days and the people she had come into contact with.

Yulan has a wide circle of friends. Not only does she charm Luo Kezhao, she also has an affair with the head constable Dong Xianhe.

Dong Xianhe is a member of the Dong family and Ding Zhigang's subordinate!

This guy seemed to be completely controlled by Yulan. He allowed her to order him around and obeyed her in everything, a complete bootlicker.

Moreover, Dong Xianhe was a big mouth. In order to show off his power and status in the government, he told all kinds of secrets to others.

Yulan can get almost any information she wants from Luo Kezhao and Dong Xianhe.

"Bitch, this bitch!"

Luo Kezhao instantly became furious, his expression was distorted and hideous, and his teeth were almost broken.

Not only was he deceived by Yulan, he was also cheated on! Seeing this, Luo Qianqian laughed and sneered, "No way, you were actually played around by a bitch. If this gets out, my Luo family will lose face because of you."

Luo Kezhao was horrified and said in a stern voice: "Dad, I will go and capture Yulan right now to atone for my sins."

Luo Peiyun said calmly: "By the time you react, the daylily will be cold. Calculating the time, Yulan should have been caught by now."

Luo Kezhao took a breath of cold air and said in astonishment: "Dad, have you discovered that there is something wrong with Yulan a long time ago?"

Luo Peiyun nodded and said, "Before, we couldn't be completely sure whether she was a spy, so we didn't alert her."

Luo Kezhao suddenly came to his senses, and then he became listless and looked dejected.

Ding Zhigang was shocked, his eyes moved rapidly, and he said: "Sir, besides Yulan, there must be other spies cooperating with her."

Luo Peiyun sneered: "No one can escape."

As soon as these words came out, Ding Zhigang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, lowered his head deeply, and a look of great awe appeared on his face.

Good boy! It turns out that everything is under Luo Peiyun's control.

These people are busying about, but it's all for nothing.

At this moment, Fang Zhixing lowered his head slightly, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

When he was at Songlin Temple, he guessed that there was a spy in the government office.

Luo Peiyun obviously thought of it as well, and started investigating secretly without making any noise.

After Fang Zhixing came to the yamen, he was actually being monitored by Luo Peiyun.

It now seems that the reason why Luo Peiyun monitored him so closely was, on the one hand, because he did not completely trust him, and on the other hand, in order to catch a spy.

Fang Zhixing is one of the targets of the rebels, and the rebels and spies will definitely attack him.

Then, as long as we monitor Fang Zhixing, we will be able to find clues.

And today is the time to close the net! Fang Zhixing was very curious about who the spy hidden in the government office was. He didn't have to wait too long before three people were arrested and put into prison.

One adult and two teenage boys.

"It's you guys?!"

As soon as Ding Zhigang saw the three people, he exclaimed in disbelief.

Fang Zhixing looked at the three people carefully and felt that they looked familiar, but he probably had never met them before.

"Who are they?" he asked.

Ding Zhigang smacked his lips and replied, "There is a breakfast stall on the street next to the government office. This is the owner and his two sons. They have been setting up a stall there for more than 20 years."

"It's them. No wonder they look familiar to me."

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized and thought carefully. The stall was at the intersection and he could see the gate of the county government as soon as he looked up.

Ding Zhigang went to interrogate him personally.

The boss's name is Xu Dali, and the neighbors call him Lao Xu. He is honest and simple, and has a very good reputation.

Ding Zhigang would sometimes go to his stall to eat breakfast. In fact, many yamen runners had been there and he was considered an old acquaintance.

"Old Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Zhigang did not use force, and there was no need to do so.

After all, Xu Dali’s two sons have been arrested, so there is no need to worry that he will not confess.

Xu Dali lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Let my two sons go. They are still young and don't know anything."

Ding Zhigang nodded and said, "As long as you confess, I will ask the county magistrate for mercy for our past friendship."

Xu Dali hesitated for a moment and explained, "A year and a half ago, someone found me and asked me to keep an eye on the gate of the county government office to see who was coming in and out. For example, if an important person went out, I had to release the news in time."

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

Xu Dali said, "I can write. I can just write a note and put it in the takeaway bag, and then ask my son to run errands and deliver it to Hanxianglou."

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

Xu Dali shook his head and said, "I don't know. That person covered his face and didn't tell me his name."

Ding Zhigang frowned and said, "What? You're working for someone whose face you've never seen?"

Xu Dali raised his head, an indescribable sneer appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "As long as I can get revenge, I am willing to do anything."

"Revenge?" Ding Zhigang's heart skipped a beat. He slowly stood up and walked out of the cell.

Fang Zhixing asked: "What grudge?"

Ding Zhigang curled his lips and said, "Xu Dali's wife was hit and killed by drunk Dong Xianhe on horseback. Afterwards, Dong Xianhe did not seem to compensate or apologize, and even beat Xu Dali up."

Fang Zhixing was speechless. It was this Dong Xianhe again!

He pondered and said, "Xu Dali is outside the government office, so the inside information he can get is limited. So, there must be someone inside the government office who is supporting him."

Ding Zhigang agreed with this and sighed, "Just wait, the Lord may have caught that person and is interrogating him alone."

Just as he finished speaking, a yamen runner came running over and reported, "Boss, Yulan has been arrested and brought back to the yamen!"

Ding Zhigang took a deep breath and said, "Brother, let's go and take a look."

Fang Zhixing naturally wanted to go.

They walked out together, and suddenly a shrill scream was heard in their ears.

Fang Zhixing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Luo Kezhao catching a man in a yamen runner's uniform and beating him with fists and kicks until the man begged for mercy.

"Second Master, spare my life, please stop hitting me!"

"I was wrong. How about I give you my wife?"

Luo Kezhao pretended not to hear and kicked the man's crotch hard, stepping on it hard.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Dong Xianhe?" Fang Zhixing guessed.

Ding Zhigang had a gloomy face, nodded, and walked over slowly.

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

However, Ding Zhigang just felt unlucky and didn't even look at him.

After a while, they arrived outside the torture chamber.

Luo Peiyun and Luo Qianqian had arrived first.

Yulan sat on the chair, her clothes disheveled and her face pale, but her eyes were full of stubbornness.

She was not a martial artist, she was just a delicate woman, and she was of low status, so she was destined to be at the mercy of others.

But no one expected that she had participated in major cases such as robbing military pay and assassinating the county magistrate, and played an important role.

Luo Peiyun put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Yulan, on an intelligence line, there are usually upstream and downstream parties, and you happen to be in the middle. Your downstream party has been arrested."

Yulan's expression changed and she sneered, "It's just a death."

"Oh, you're pretty tough."

Luo Qianqian was immediately interested. Yulan's stubbornness aroused her strong desire to conquer her. She asked curiously, "Why do you want to be a rebel?"

Yulan angrily asked, "Why? Why do you say that? Why were you born a daughter of a rich family, while I was born a lowly person, and can only be an actress in this life, to be toyed with by others?"

Luo Qianqian sneered, "This is destiny. God made me a daughter of a wealthy family, and God made you a slave. If you resist us, you are defying heaven, and this is the way to your death!"

Yulan laughed and said, "Go ahead. Even if you kill one of me, there are still thousands and millions of me left. We can never kill them all!"

Luo Qianqian also laughed and said, "It would be better if you can't kill them all. The leeks should be harvested one after another, and you should kill them one after another. That's more fun."

Yulan cursed angrily: "You beasts, you are worse than beasts!"

Luo Qianqian took out the silver needle slowly and said with a happy smile: "Go ahead and scold me. You will suffer in the end."

A moment later, Yulan fainted.

Her arms were twisted into knots.

Even so, she would rather die than betray anyone.

Luo Qianqian was furious. This was the first time she failed in torture. She couldn't believe that there was such a strong woman in the world! Luo Peiyun turned around expressionlessly and walked towards another torture room.

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang looked at each other and immediately followed.

The door of the torture chamber opened, and there was only a man inside, tied up and kneeling in the corner.

"Is it him?!"

When Fang Zhixing walked in and took a look, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

That person turned out to be Gao Daxing! Damn it! You ca n't judge a person by his appearance. The temporary instructor of the Archery Battalion turned out to be a spy.

"Lao Gao!"

Ding Zhigang was also very surprised.

You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I never expected that this slick Gao Daxing would actually betray me.

Luo Peiyun said calmly: "Old Gao, do you want to confess on your own, or do you want to be tortured first and then confess?"

Gao Daxing raised his head, sighed, and said with a smile: "There is no need to torture me. I know your methods. I confess!"

Luo Peiyun asked: "Who is the leader of the rebels in Qinglin County? How many people are there? Where is their hiding place?"

Gao Daxing shook his head and said, "I really don't know. I'm just a person who transmits information and I've never seen the leader.

However, I do know the name of the leader. He is known as 'Greedy Wolf' in the underworld. He loves to kill villains like you from aristocratic families the most in his life!"

Luo Peiyun narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, "Then how did you join the rebels? Who introduced you?"

"Well, do I need an introduction?"

Gao Daxing laughed and said, "People's hearts will be in your heart. I have lived a cowardly life, and the most glorious moment for me is joining the rebel army!"

"presumptuous!"

Ding Zhigang was furious, "How dare you be so rude in front of adults!"

Gao Daxing said disdainfully: "Ding Zhigang, you are just a vicious dog raised by a powerful family. Why are you barking so loudly?"

“…”

Ding Zhigang's eyes widened and he was about to rush over and beat him up.

Luo Peiyun waved his hand, stopped Ding Zhigang, and asked patiently: "Lao Gao, I should treat you well, why did you betray me?"

Gao Daxing laughed twice, looked at Luo Peiyun deeply, and narrated slowly: "I was born in a mountain village with parents and brothers. The people in the village make a living by hunting.

One day, a group of soldiers came outside and said that a young master of the Luo family was out hunting. They arrested everyone in the village without saying a word, and then took us into a restricted area.

They used knives to cut our bodies and made us bleed continuously. Then, the smell of blood attracted several strange beasts. "

At this point, Gao Daxing's face was filled with coldness and hysterical hatred.

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

Gao Daxing roared excitedly.

Luo Peiyun understood, and his expression did not change at all. He only said: "It is not a pity for a lowly person to die. It is your honor to die for a powerful family!"

"Okay, okay!" Gao Daxing laughed miserably and suddenly slammed his head against the wall.

Bang~ A pool of blood appeared on the wall, and Gao Daxing slowly fell to the ground, obviously not going to survive.

Ding Zhigang's face twitched, shocked.

Fang Zhixing pursed his lips, his eyes flickering.

Luo Peiyun turned around and ordered, "Give him a decent burial."

"Yes!" Ding Zhigang responded quickly.

Suddenly, Luo Peiyun stopped, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Spread the news, behead Yulan at noon three days later. I want to see if those so-called heroes and righteous men dare to rob the execution ground."
