Chapter 108 2 Colleagues Arrested
In less than fifteen minutes.
All the martial arts practitioners from outside the city, as well as the bandits from the Heavenly Serpent Gang who led them, were gathered in the central square of the city.
Zhao Dadan stood beside Lin Feng, looking dazed.
Lin Feng asked, "Brother Zhao, do you know what happened? Why did you wake everyone up so late at night?"
Zhao Dadan shook his head.
Lin Feng figured he was asking in vain, as Zhao Dadan's mind was entirely on the second-in-command.
Soon, the bandit leader and his second-in-command appeared on the high platform in the center of the square.
The bandit leader held up a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.
"Can anyone tell me what this means?"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the paper; he knew something was wrong.
This was the intelligence he had released; it was all numbers.
Apart from a select few in the Ma Yi Guard of Qinghe County, no one else could understand it.
The bandit leader said, "Today someone wrapped this piece of paper in oiled paper, then covered it with a layer of mud, and threw it from inside the city to outside."
They were discovered by their brothers who were patrolling outside the city.
It seems there are government spies among you?
There was an uproar in the crowd.
The bandits conducted background checks and were quite strict in their recruitment process, yet a spy managed to infiltrate the ranks.
The leader said, "Everyone, tell me where you were at the first watch last night."
We have plenty of time tonight, we can take it one step at a time.
Lin Feng felt a little flustered. He couldn't just say where he was; someone had to verify it.
I must have been sending out intelligence during the first watch of the night last night.
However, I did it very discreetly, so no one should notice.
Before dawn, I was drinking tea at a teahouse in the city.
You could easily say that you were drinking tea at the first watch of the night, and the teahouse waiter might not remember that clearly.
At that time, there were no clocks, and the time was not calculated very accurately, so it was possible to make a time difference.
Having figured out what to say, Lin Feng felt much more at ease.
The leader sent out several hundred bandits to question these people; some took notes, while others went to find witnesses.
You can ask hundreds of questions at once.
They soon asked Lin Feng, who gave the prepared explanation.
The teahouse waiter was also called in to verify the information.
With so many people coming and going at the teahouse every day, it's no wonder the waiter couldn't remember.
Lin Feng managed to get away with it by sheer luck.
However, he has not completely cleared himself of suspicion.
Because he belongs to the group of people who went out during this time period.
"Woof woof!" came the barking of a dog from the small building where Lin Feng lived.
Lin Feng was startled; these bandits had even used hunting dogs.
Fortunately, I had used up all the spice paper when I delivered the intelligence last time, and I washed it afterwards, otherwise the hunting dogs would definitely have smelled it.
Lin Feng hadn't finished asking his questions yet.
A group of bandits with hunting dogs ran out of the small building where the martial arts practitioners lived.
The leader was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
There appears to be a map drawn on the paper.
The group of people had just walked out of the dormitory building.
One of the martial arts practitioners used his lightness skill to escape.
He can jump four or five meters high in one step, and a single leap can cover more than ten meters.
This person is clearly a mapmaker.
Lin Feng was surprised; could there be other people here?
That possibility does exist.
Because the Tian She Gang bandits not only ravaged Qinghe County, they also went to several neighboring counties to collect protection money.
The city guards of the other counties generally turned a blind eye to the Tian She Gang bandits.
But things are different now; every city has more Ma Yiwei (a type of guard).
The Ma Yi Guards from other counties must also want to deal with the Tian She Gang bandits, and they might even send spies to infiltrate these areas while the bandits are recruiting.
This person is most likely an undercover agent sent by the Ma Yi Wei.
Whoosh! The second-in-command fired a steel ball.
Oops, the one who was trying to escape got shot down.
A group of bandits rushed over and started fighting with the man.
Although this man was skilled and killed several bandits in succession, he was ultimately outnumbered.
He was eventually pinned to the ground by several bandits, who also used acupressure to immobilize him.
Lin Feng initially wanted to go out and help.
However, after looking at the thousands of bandits in the square, he gave up the idea.
Everything should be done with the overall situation in mind; we must not act impulsively.
The most important thing for an undercover agent is to remain calm and composed.
The undercover agent was dragged to the boss's presence.
The leader asked, "Who sent you? Who are your accomplices?"
"Pah!" the man spat out, then laughed and said, "No comment!"
The leader waved his hand, and the surrounding bandits began to punch and kick him.
Bang bang bang, but the man didn't utter a single sound.
The leader sneered, "Still a tough nut to crack!"
Unfortunately, even the toughest bone becomes as soft as noodles when it comes to our Heavenly Serpent Gang.
The leader glanced at the two men in blue robes beside him.
Each of the two men in blue robes had a blue snake with its tongue flicking around its arm.
Two men in blue robes walked up to the captured undercover agent and flicked their wrists. Two green snakes shot out from their arms and bit the undercover agent's left and right shoulders.
The undercover agent grunted and gritted his teeth.
The undercover agent's face quickly turned bluish-purple, and large beads of sweat dripped continuously from his cheeks.
These two snakes seem quite venomous; their bites must hurt a lot.
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine; the bandits had quite a few tricks up their sleeves.
Before long, the undercover agent couldn't hold on any longer.
"Ugh, give me a quick death if you dare!"
The undercover agent's body trembled incessantly, clearly enduring intense pain.
After a while, the man gave in.
"No, no, don't let the snake bite me again, I'll confess to anything."
Lin Feng was shocked. This tough guy, who wouldn't retaliate no matter how much he was attacked, couldn't withstand being bitten by those two snakes for long.
The bandit leader asked calmly, "Only after you confess will these two snakes release their grip."
First, tell me who your accomplices are.
Tears streamed down the undercover agent's face. "Waaah, Lao Yang, please don't blame me, I really can't take it anymore!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, another person in the group of martial arts practitioners used his lightness skill to escape.
The bandit leader took a bow and arrow from one of the bandits beside him, drew the bow, and fired the arrow in one swift motion.
Whoosh, two arrows flew out.
The undercover agent, named Lao Yang, had both thighs pierced by two arrows.
This man was quite tough; after landing, he broke off the arrow from his thigh and continued running.
But he was injured after all, and his mobility was greatly limited.
He was quickly captured by a group of bandits and dragged to the leader's presence.
The two green snakes on the first undercover agent's shoulder were removed and bit the second undercover agent.
They asked him the same question: Did he have any accomplices?
Both men said they had no other accomplices, so the two men in green robes took the green snake away.
The bandit leader smiled at the two men, "You two tough guys, tell me, who sent you?"
