It stands to reason that Lin Yunfei was quite lenient in doing this, but Li Bu did not withdraw. Instead, he said: "Thank you, General, for showing mercy. However, I would like to ask Gao Zhan for his advice on whether there is any real evidence for this case?"

After hearing this, Lin Yunfei's anger that had subsided suddenly increased again: "Li Bu, are you saying that this handsome man has wronged a good man!?"

"The last general didn't dare. It's just that Gao Zhongcheng had performed his duties faithfully and made many meritorious deeds since he surrendered. He said that she colluded with the rebels and worked as a spy. The last general didn't dare to believe it. He was also afraid that there was something wrong in this matter, which would wrongfully accuse Gao Zhongcheng and also hurt him.

The hearts of all those who surrendered.”

When Lin Yunfei heard what Li Bu said was unreasonable, he immediately suppressed his anger and said: "If there is no evidence, I will naturally not accuse the innocent. This time someone has accused Gao Yulan."

"Who is the person who reported this?"

"It's not convenient to say this right now."

"General, since you don't say anything, the junior generals and others will naturally not dare to make mistakes. However, if there is no witness to confront him, it would be hard to convince people to say that Gao was engaged in colluding with the rebels."

"That's natural. I won't doubt one of my own people because of a few words. In addition to witnesses, we also have a secret letter that Gao Yulan colluded with the rebels."

"Can we let the general have a look?"

Lin Yunfei nodded, immediately picked up a letter and handed it to his son Luo Tianbao, who took it and handed it to Li Bu.

Li Bu immediately opened it and saw that the content of the letter was actually not long. It just reported the movements of the officers and soldiers in the past few days and asked the recipient to wait for an opportunity to escape. The signature was Gao Yulan. From the analysis of the content, it did seem to be written to the rebels.

.

Seeing that Li Bu had finished reading, Lin Yunfei asked: "How is it? Now that things have happened, do you have no doubts? We have verified that this handwriting belongs to Gao Yulan, so we can't deny it, right?"

At that time, Li Bu collected the letter and returned it to Luo Tianbao, and at the same time said: "General, this matter is still fishy in the eyes of the last general."

Lin Yunfei frowned when he heard this: "How do you say this?"

"General Rong, the handwriting on this letter does look very similar to that of Gao Zongzheng, but I don't dare to agree that it must be her. It could also be someone else's deliberate imitation. In addition, if it was really written by Gao Zhanzhang, she wouldn't know it."

If you sign your real name, if the letter is intercepted by us, wouldn't it be immediately exposed?"

Lin Yunfei nodded: "It's what you said, that's why we tortured her now to find out the truth."

"Commander, it's inappropriate for you to do this. As the saying goes, "beating makes a trick." The confession you got in this way may not be true. Besides, it's really not a senior job. Even if you beat her to death, you won't be able to ask any questions. It's all in vain.

I hope you will think twice about harming innocent people."

Ordinarily, Li Bu was arguing with reason, but Lin Yunfei was unhappy after hearing this: "Li Bu, what is your intention of repeatedly protecting Gao Yulan? Are you also involved in this case?"

Li Bu heard this and quickly replied: "General, I know that since I surrendered, I have been loyal to you and have no evil intentions. The reason why I speak boldly today is because I am afraid that you, General, will harm innocent people and fall into other people's schemes."

Luo Tianbao also said at this time: "Father, General Li has gone through many hardships since his surrender and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. I believe that he has absolutely no wrong intentions. I am also in a hurry today and my words will inevitably conflict. I hope you will not mind it."

When Lin Yunfei heard his son's plea, his anger became somewhat lessened, and he immediately said: "Well, I also know that he has no other intentions. Otherwise, if others talk such nonsense, I will not be lenient. However, they are not allowed to interfere in this case.

Everyone, please exit!"

Li Bu wanted to say something after hearing this, but he saw Luo Tianbao waving his hands and winking at him. Li Bu knew that this was telling him to stop talking. In desperation, Li Bu had no choice but to say: "I will obey your orders."

Just like that, Li Bu and everyone retreated helplessly. Not long after, they heard screams coming from inside. Everyone felt very uncomfortable. After a while, they gradually stopped hearing the screams. Everyone was a little curious. It didn't take long.

Gao Yulan was taken out, her back was beaten to a bloody pulp, and she fainted. Li Bu and others were all anxious when they saw this.

After a while, Luo Tianbao and others came out of the tent one after another. Li Bu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young Marshal, what happened just now?"

Luo Tianbao also frowned at that time: "Lao Li, I'm sorry, Yu Lan refused to say anything. My father beat her like this in a hurry. I was also afraid that something would go wrong and I quickly begged for mercy. Now my father

It means that the case will be tried again tomorrow. I also know that you are worried about Yulan, but at the moment I can only do this."

Li Bu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he knew that Luo Tianbao also had his own difficulties, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, young marshal, we are very grateful that you can do this, but there are many doubts about this case, so we hope you can

Tell the general that you need to handle it with caution."

"Don't worry, Yulan is my subordinate, I will naturally try to protect her."

After everyone finished talking, they dispersed one after another. Li Bu was uneasy after he returned, but there was nothing he could do for a while. The interrogation continued the next day, and Gao Yulan still refused to plead guilty. In the end, another round of beatings was inevitable. Thanks to Luo Tianbao and others' pleading for mercy.

, Lin Yunfei just opened his mouth and did not continue to use torture, but the case still had no result that day. Li Bu was also worried when he learned about this matter. Gao Yulan really had to worry about his conscience for the rest of his life because of the shortcomings of this matter.

As a result, Li Bu was worrying in his tent that afternoon when suddenly Hua Ning from the Tiger Army came. Li Bu had met Hua Ning several times before because of his mission, and they had gotten along well, but they didn't have a close relationship. Now he suddenly came to visit.

This really surprised Li Bu. After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down in the tent. Li Bu asked, "Brother Hua, why are you free to come see me today?"

Hua Ning touched his big nose when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, what you said is obvious. Could it be that I can't come to you if nothing happens?"

"That's not what I meant, little brother."

"I understand, I'm just joking with you. In fact, I came to you this time to inquire about something. It is rumored that the spy who betrayed the army was caught?"

"Oh, Brother Hua has also heard about this?"

"Not only that, almost all the brothers in the army have heard about it. It seems that the spy is still related to you, brother?"

"That's right."

"What's going on? Can you tell me more about it?"

Li Bu thought that Hua Ning was not an outsider, and he really wanted to find someone to talk to. When he introduced the general story of the matter, Hua Ning couldn't help but be speechless.

"I didn't expect that there are so many hidden secrets here..." Hua Ning looked at Li Bu and seemed to have some realization.

"Brother, there are no outsiders here. Tell me honestly, is it interesting for Miss Gao that you care so much about her?"

Li Bu was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Hua, please don't misunderstand me. I have absolutely no intention towards the eldest lady. It's just that I was greatly favored by others, but in the end, the person I harmed became a prisoner. I have no conscience."

I’m just sorry.”

Hua Ning nodded and said with a smile: "I just said it casually, brother, why do you have to be so serious? A gentle lady and a gentleman are so jealous. Even if you really have this intention, it is only human nature, but to be honest, Marshal Lin is like this

The treatment was a bit sloppy. How can we convict people based on these alone? It would be too cruel to beat people like that."
