C33 Interrogation in the Dungeon

The night was quiet, but waves of male screams came from the prison at Baili’s Mansion's home. The black clothed man who attacked Baili Family Mistress at night was being hung and whipped by Baili Chenyang and his men.

"Speak, who sent you?" In the dim dungeon, the flickering flame in Baili Chenyang's eyes looked like an uncontrollable rage in his heart. He had his back facing the thief and asked angrily, his voice reverberating throughout the dungeon.

That person had already been beaten to the point of being riddled with scars. Forcefully enduring the pain, he said: "Baili Family Master, please spare my life, I heard that there are treasures in Baili’s Mansion and I was just in need of money at home. That's why I harbored such evil intentions.

"Nonsense!" How did so many rooms end up in that room? " This person was definitely lying. Baili Chenyang turned around and glared at the man. That gaze was enough to intimidate the world.

"I'm not spouting nonsense. I only wanted to go in to take a look because I saw a light flashing in that room."

Could he be talking about the blood colored Butterfly Pendant that his sister was wearing?

Baili Chenyang raised his head and looked at the skylight. The bright moonlight cast a beam of light down. Today was a full moon night, so the jade pendant must have lit up again.

Thinking about the Butterfly Pendant, Baili Chenyang felt strange. There must be a lot of things in the world that he couldn't explain clearly, so he started to reminisce.

Ten years ago, on the full night of the month, he vaguely remembered a crazy Taoist bringing this jade pendant to his house, saying that he must wear it on his little sister's person. Ten years later, its true owner will come to find it.

He even threatened that if she did not do as he said, the young miss would have a calamity at the age of 15.

The manor naturally did not believe his rumors and had only pretended to accept them. However, they had casually placed them in the storage room, so people gradually began to forget about them.

Later on, when Baili Ange was ten years old, he fell sick. No matter how many doctors he asked, they all didn't work. In the end, an elderly woman in the house suggested to take out that jade pendant and put it on to see if there was any effect.

It was weird, after putting it on, Baili Ange's pale face started to turn red, and it would only take a few days for people to realize that the piece of jade was not an ordinary piece of jade.

What was even weirder was that every full moon on this jade pendant would emit a dim light at midnight for about fifteen minutes.

At the beginning, everyone was surprised by this matter, but since Baili Family and Murong Family had already been predetermined, and since Baili Ange was very fond of Murong Chen, people gradually forgot about what the crazy Taoist had said.

However, the jade pendant was on Baili Ange.

"Big brother." Baili Ange's call came from the dungeon, pulling Baili Chenyang's thoughts back to reality.

"Why aren't you staying in the room? This place is wet and cold, be careful of getting cold!" Baili Chenyang was still blaming himself for being disturbed by his sister just now. Seeing that she was only wearing a simple shirt, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Big brother, he lied. He clearly came to kill me, and it's not as simple as' Tucker '. I even saw him raise his knife and slash at me. If I hadn't heard the commotion and hid behind the curtain, big brother wouldn't have been able to see me." Baili Ange said in an aggrieved manner. She felt that this assassin definitely had someone backing him. She wanted to see who it was that killed her before going to the dungeon.

"Tell me, who sent you here? Men, serve me a heavy punishment! " Baili Chenyang was already very angry. Now that he heard his sister say this, his heart ached even more. If he didn't have to investigate the purpose of this person, he would have already killed him.

He didn't know who ordered him to do it, but he had to do it as soon as he took the money. That jade pendant was just a passing gift, he had never heard of any treasures in Baili’s Mansion, he only saw a glowing stone, felt that it must be very valuable, and placed it in his bosom.

The reason why he didn't admit that he was here to assassinate Baili Ange and instead said that he was here to steal something was because he knew that the punishment for stealing was different from the punishment for murder.

However, after hearing Baili Chenyang say that he would be severely punished, in addition to the whipping he received before, he was almost at his limit. Even if he used a bit more criminal law, he was afraid that his life would end.

It was all his fault for feigning to be a peerless assassin despite the fact that he had opened his eyes in the face of money. He didn't expect that he was going to lose his life now.

"Wait!" That person loudly shouted, "Baili Family Master, if I am to speak of the truth, you must promise to spare my little life!"

It seemed that he was going to reveal the truth. Baili Chenyang took a deep breath and coldly said: "Ok!"

"Speak!" Xiaoliu urged.

"I say, I say, someone is bribing me to take big miss' life!" The man said with a trembling voice.

"What!?" Who ordered you? "Speak!" When Baili Chenyang heard this, he was infuriated. Someone really wanted to harm his beloved sister.

"Please calm your anger Master, I don't know who that person is, but I've never seen him before. He was wearing a veil when he saw me, but I vaguely saw a large black mole on the old master's chin." That person was so scared that he did not dare open his eyes, afraid that Baili Chenyang would not believe him, and continued to speak, "Baili Family Master, what this one has said is all the truth, if there is even a single word, then I will die without descendants! I beg the Patriarch to spare this little one, this little one hasn't even gotten married yet! "Ahh!

The dungeon that was filled with the man in black immediately quieted down. It was Baili Chenyang's sword that pierced the man's throat.

"Big brother, you, you killed him?" Looking at the blood spurting out from the assassin's neck, Baili Ange's stomach couldn't help but roll. The scene was too bloody.

A few seconds ago, that person was still screaming, but in that instant, Baili Chenyang actually killed that person.

Baili Chenyang really did it for his sister.

"Ange," Baili Chenyang said, squeezing Baili Ange's shaking shoulder, "Ange, don't be afraid. If anyone hurts you, I'll take his life!"

"Drag this guy to the backyard and feed him to the dogs. Pass down the order, find all the men with moles on their chins in Anyang City!" Baili Chenyang ordered the Baili Army Leader beside him.

"Yes sir!" That person accepted the order and left.

"Qing Qi, help Miss go back and rest. Tell those ten Dark Guard s to protect Eldest Miss well and not to make any more mistakes!" Baili Chenyang said to Qing Qi.

As she was being supported out of the dungeon by Qing Qi, Baili Ange was hit by a gust of cold wind. This was the first time she felt that in this world, not only was there the love of family that she had felt all this time, there was also conspiracy and killing!
