Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 1)
Da Niu was slightly surprised but still replied.
“Yes, Madam!”
It was only then that Liu Sisi looked at Di Yelei: “Ye Lei, you’ll handle the rest.”
“Alright, I understand. You should go check on the children. Last night, the mansion was in chaos, and the three children didn’t sleep well.” Di Yelei whispered.
“Okay.”
Liu Sisi glanced at Di Xuan but didn’t say anything else. She stood up, lifted the curtain, and walked into the inner chamber.
Just as she turned and walked towards the back hall, she stopped in her tracks, thinking that this matter might not be resolved so easily after all!
“Guards!”
In the darkness, a figure flickered: “Madam.”
“Send a flying pigeon letter to Zuo Xingyu immediately, telling him that I have a request…”
By the time the man was brought back in, his appearance had completely changed, and his body emitted an unbearable stench of urine.
“Old Master, this coward peed his pants as soon as he was locked up in the dark room!”
Da Niu, holding the man at arm’s length with his nose covered, said with disgust.
“Mmm, I know. You’ve worked hard.”
Di Yelei waved Da Niu away before glaring at the man: “Well? Are you still not going to speak? Or do you want to taste the true suffering in the prison cell?”
“Old Master, I confess! I’ve already confessed, so can’t you let me go? Wuuu…”
He cried, tears and snot flowing down his face. “I didn’t do it! I didn’t kidnap or kill anyone! It was that old man, the old bastard! He gave me a letter and told me to find an opportunity to stuff it in the official residence’s main entrance, and after it was done, he’d give me some money. I was tempted, so I agreed, but I didn’t expect to be caught just as I appeared. I really didn’t…”
“An old man? What did this old man look like? Where did you see him?”
Di Yelei asked urgently. “If you’re thinking of covering for him, I don’t mind showing you what living hell feels like!”
The man quickly recalled. “His appearance… he was skinny, hardly any meat on his bones. Yes! He was lame, with his right leg amputated. He’s not the mastermind behind this. I didn’t know they wanted me to do such a thing. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare…”
He wailed, tears and snot flowing.
Di Yelei, thinking of his own Ying Er whose life and death were uncertain, had no sympathy. “Speak! Where did you see him? Just tell the truth, and I can make sure your merits and faults cancel each other out, otherwise… Hmph!”
“I’ll talk! I’ll say everything! I beg you to spare me! I shouldn’t have been greedy for that little bit of money…”
The man wept loudly.
It was just before dawn, and the city gate had not yet opened. A large group of people led by Di Yelei rushed towards the City God Temple outside the North City gate.
