Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

"He later exerted himself for the guild, and in every conflict, he suffered twelve slash wounds for White Tiger Hall, with three of them just an inch away from vital spots."

Peng Fu said, "Second Master truly shed blood for White Tiger Hall."

"But why, why was he so muddle-headed, to collude with the Zoroastrian Sect? Who could bear the guilt of such a crime, the trafficking of iron goods? Why would he do this!"

Peng Shizhong was heartbroken, and Peng Fu stood by, saying nothing.

Peng Shizhong asked, "Have you seen all the evidence Jiu Si submitted?"

Peng Fu replied, "I’ve seen it all. These are indeed the acts of Second Master, confirmed without a doubt. However...it seems as though there is someone behind this, pushing matters forward. Fifth Master said if it weren’t for that person behind the scenes deliberately pushing the case forward, we might not have caught Second Master so quickly."

Peng Shizhong took a drink upon hearing this and said with a laugh, "The manipulator behind the scenes, huh... *cough* *cough* *cough*..."

"My lord, you shouldn’t drink anymore. Otherwise, your wounds will have a hard time healing."

Peng Shizhong waved his hand and said, "I’m fine, that’s enough. Let this matter end here. As for this so-called hidden mastermind, let’s pretend they don’t exist and stop the investigation."

"Yes, my lord, I understand."
