Chapter 102 Evil Is Rewarded With Evil

Fang Yihai’s voice spread far and wide, and the entire military camp seemed to be alarmed.

If anyone else had the audacity to do so in the camp, countless people would share a common hatred for that person. Even if Xiaoxiao Sheng, a powerhouse at the peak of Yang Grade, had done the same, he would be besieged and would die of spite. Though he would certainly make many people his scapegoat before that, he would not be able to escape death.

However, the situation was completely different when Fang Yihai, who was usually known as General Thunder, personally appeared.

n.o.body in the military camp would meddle in the case, let alone anyone in the Provision Camp.

In fact, many people gloated over Zhang Yinfan’s misfortune as they cursed, ‘That miser likes to embezzle the provisions from the camp. Look, you’re bound to wet your shoes if you walk by the river for a long time. He really deserves bad luck this time to have embezzled the provisions for the South Camp that’s led by Commanding General Fang Yihai.’

Supervisor Qu Jianming peeped from the Provision Camp but quickly shrunk. He would not be able to hide if Fang Yihai had looked for him directly, but since the general pa.s.sed by him, why would he look for trouble?

It was true that Zhang Yinfan was Qu Jianming’s subordinate, but it was not like he did not have his own standpoint. The fella has always opposed me in the Provision Camp. Now that he has offended a superior, it’s impossible that I’ll stick out for him.

Fang Yihai looked around the area for some time with his lightning eyes, then laughed maliciously and said, “If this rat dares not come out, drag him out. Yu Hailiang!”

“Here!”

“Get some men to search for him, and find him by hook or by crook!”

“Yes!” Yu Hailiang responded to him. When he waved his hand, the Guards behind him instantly stormed into the Provision Camp like ferocious tigers going down a mountain.

Qu Jianming’s face changed, and he harbored strong resentment. ‘How did Zhang Yinfan offend Fang Yihai? How dare he offend the general so much so that the general broke out in such an intense and thunderous wrath?’

Although he was displeased with Fang Yihai’s actions, he dared not stop the general while the general was still furious, thus he secretly devised a plan to make a complaint to Deng Zhicai.

“We caught him alive!” A cheer was heard after a brief moment.

A few soldiers quickly brought a person out of the Provision Camp by force. They treated the man rudely by punching and kicking the man mercilessly along the way. Though they did not kill the man, by the time he arrived in front of Fang Yihai, his face was already swollen and bruised, and one of his teeth was beaten out of his mouth.

“General, when we found him, not only did he try to escape, but he also wanted to sneak an attack on us. We used more force on him to defend ourselves. General, please question him,” Yu Hailiang reported loudly.

Zhang Yinfan, who cried bitterly on the ground while holding on to the aching parts on his body, quickly screamed as he was terrified, “Injustice! Injustice! I didn’t escape, neither did I resist!”

In actual fact, Zhang Yinfan never thought to resist when the fierce and violent soldiers barged in earlier, let alone sneak an attack.

He had allowed himself to be seized, but the soldiers punched and kicked him aggressively as soon as they saw him, to the extent that he almost suffered internal injuries. Zhang Yinfan’s body hurt terribly at the moment, and his voice was indistinct because of the missing front tooth.

Fang Yihai sneered and pretended to have not heard his explanation. “How bold and reckless you are to attack brothers of our own. Why are you still standing there!”

Yu Hailiang and the other soldiers were stunned at first, but they quickly understood what the general meant. They proceeded to beat up Zhang Yinfan, who ended up howling in grief on the ground and eventually had a husky voice.

Qu Jianming’s face was ever-changing. He finally walked out and yelled as he could not take it any longer, “General Fang, please stop!”

Nonetheless, the South Camp soldiers turned a deaf ear to him as they continued to punch and kick ruthlessly.

Needless to say, they were particular with where they attacked Zhang Yinfan, by which they only inflicted pain on him instead of giving him fatal injuries.

Qu Jianming was red with anger. “General Fang, don’t you think you’re going overboard?”

Fang Yihai looked at him coldly and said, “Overboard? What do you mean?”

Qu Jianming expressed, “General Fang, even if Sir Zhang embezzled from the South Camp’s provisions, it isn’t an offense so serious that he should be punished like this, right?”

“Embezzled?” Fang Yihai’s smile became grimmer as he suddenly said, “Boys, tell him what exactly this d.a.m.n murderer did!”

Yu Hailiang stated out loud, “Zhang Yinfan colluded with his elder brother, Zhang Yinli, to attack Master Ou halfway through his journey. Ten brothers from the South Camp’s Guards were killed, as well as a squad leader from the Middle Camp’s Guards. We were ordered by General Deng to capture the culprit, and anyone who tries to stop us will be killed!”

“Wh-what?” Qu Jianming widened his eyes in disbelief. “He actually had the guts to do that…”

Zhang Yinfan, who was still crying in pain, had his eyes roll back and pa.s.sed out as he was too frightened.

He initially thought the plan he had schemed with his elder brother was seamless, and n.o.body would notice that he was involved. Therefore, Zhang Yinfan still took his chances when Fang Yihai suddenly came with his men.

However, Fang Yihai exposed the matter and even called out his elder brother’s name, so Zhang Yinfan instantly knew how it would end.

He was terrified out of his wits at the thought of the military’s cruel tortures, hence he pa.s.sed out right away.

Fang Yihai scoffed in disdain and said, “What a timid person. Guards, bring him away to interrogate him with torture, I’ll make sure he no longer has secrets to hide!”

“Yes—”

Naturally, some South Camp soldiers went forward to drag Zhang Yinfan away. On the other hand, Qu Jianming’s face was green and red, and he was so startled that he dared not utter a single word anymore.

The news of the a.s.sa.s.sination case being resolved soon spread to the entire camp and Zhang Yinfan was sentenced to death by the Middle Camp’s commanding general.

Eleven soldiers-two of which were squad leaders—from the Guards of two camps had lost their lives, after all. If Deng Zhicai and Fang Yihai did not solve this matter in a way that their subordinates could vent their hatred, it would be difficult for them to lead soldiers in the future.

Ni Yunhong and his younger sister were surprised when they heard the unexpected news. Nevertheless, they had their guards up against the Zhang family in the capital. While they wanted to involve the others from the family in the case, they ended up with nothing definite.
