But for Yan Qi, they all deserved to die.
This was the first public trial held in Xicheng. After the trial, all the spies were taken outside the city and collectively executed by firing squad.
Yan Qi didn't think much of it, but a day later, a bandit came forward to surrender.
"General, spare my life!" The man was covered in dirt, with blood stains on some parts of his body. Behind him were several other people who were also in a mess.
Yan Qi frowned and looked at him: "Who are you?"
"I am the second in command of Qingfeng Village!" The sound of gun bolts being pulled could be heard all around.
The second in command was terrified: "I'm here to confess!"
Hearing that a bandit had surrendered, many people came over to see and spit at him from afar. The second in command didn't care either. He really had no other choice and couldn't stay in the mountains any longer. The bandits from other villages seemed to have reached a consensus and wanted to kill them all in Qingfeng Village. If he wanted to survive, this was the only way out.
Yan Qi looked at him, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves. Mr. Fang had just said yesterday that Fu Yunshen's days were coming to an end. He was really a god!
The Second In Commander looked at the Iron-Blooded General in front of him and said nothing. He quickly shouted, "I have an important clue to report!"
"Oh?" Yan Qi narrowed his eyes.
"Fu Yunshen, the head of the Fu family in Xicheng, is our leader, the tiger from the mountain!"
Fang Zhiyi, sitting nearby on a high building, sipping tea, smiled and shook his head. What about righteousness, what about thieves having their own code of conduct? Bandits are bandits. No matter how high-sounding their words are, aren't they all just trying to steal money? When faced with a life-or-death situation, the first people to betray are those closest to them.
"How is that possible? I know the Fu family. Isn't it said that Captain Yan has a close relationship with them?"
"Exactly. They say their family also provided a lot of supplies for bandit suppression!"
The Second In Command was completely bewildered, but he knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to drag Fu Yunshen down with him: "He is the head of Qingfeng Village! I and the people behind me can all testify!"
He rolled his eyes. "He must have deceived the General! The General wants us to confront him!"
Yan Qi frowned, turned around and glanced at Fang Zhiyi upstairs. The two exchanged glances, and Yan Qi sighed: "Hey, I'll let you go and confront him. You know, he donated a lot of gold and silver that day. You come to testify against him today... I... Sigh."
These were the words Fang Zhiyi had told him to say in advance.
Although he didn't understand the other party's intention, he had never made a mistake since he heard it.
The group arrived at the Fu family's house, and Yan Qi pushed a few ragged men in: "Just go ahead and confront each other! Come to me if you're done!"
Seeing the door close behind them, the second in command and his companions were a little surprised. What was going on? However, when they saw the two people coming out, a trace of jealousy flashed in the second in command's eyes.
That officer just now said that the boss donated a lot of gold and silver to them. It's obvious that he must have kept some of it for himself! He's never been so generous even to himself!
"Why are you here?" Fu Yunshen was a little surprised.
"Why are we here? How dare you say that!" The second in command gritted his teeth.
