"Both jackdaws have poisonous insects in their bodies, but it's too easy for me to kill them... I'm sure Mother Jiang has experienced this as well."

Zhang Xueming smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "Later, I caught some other people with the clues given by the two jackdaws, which confirmed my guess. From them, I learned that Wufeng not only has a chief leader and countless ghosts and monsters, but also a group of jackdaws who specialize in cultivating ghosts and monsters, and there are really spies who are classified according to the heaven, earth, and yellow..."

Mother Jiang's masseter muscles became even tighter. If her acupoints were untied, one would definitely be able to hear her teeth clicking.

Zhang Xueming read her suspicion from her face and laughed in his heart: Wrong. It was not someone else who leaked Wu Feng's secret, but you.

"Plop", drops of water dripped onto her brows, interrupting Mother Jiang's thoughts and she frowned in annoyance.

Zhang Xueming took the opportunity to start her story making up: "It is said that there is a female spy at the prefecture level who is particularly powerful. Twenty-two years ago, when the then young master Gong Hongyu set out for Jiangnan, she gave Wufeng information, allowing Wufeng to set up an ambush near the Yang family in Jiangnan..."

The occasional falling drops of water made it difficult for Mother Jiang to concentrate. She was upset and her facial expression was a mess. Zhang Xueming read more and more messages.

This frontless local-level spy listened to Zhang Xueming slowly and confidently revealing her identity and those old stories one by one, as if he were a cat playing with a mouse. She could not make a sound and could only suddenly open her eyes and glare at Zhang Xueming.

As expected. Zhang Xueming's eyes lit up, and he continued: "It's a pity that the assassins sent by Wufeng were too incompetent. So many people failed to assassinate a young master of the palace. Fortunately, a Mei-level assassin who participated in that operation did not rush out, which allowed her to watch the encounter between Gong Hongyu and Miss Yang Lan of the Yang family. She got the opportunity to get close to Yang Lan who was frightened by witnessing the assassination, and successfully sneaked into the Yang family and became Yang Lan's personal maid.

Not long after, Yang Lan, who was plotted against, was sent to the palace and became the wife of Gong Hongyu, who had just succeeded him as the sword master. She was called Madam Lan. Madam Lan had someone she loved and was unhappy all day long. Gong Hongyu repeatedly hit a wall and dared not approach her.

When Gong Hongyu was feeling depressed, someone gave him a plan to relieve his worries, asking him to sympathize with his wife's homesickness and to bring Madam Lan's personal maid to comfort her. Gong Hongyu thought the plan worked, and without investigation, he took the Mei-level assassin into the palace.

It was not until two years later that the Mei-level assassin found an opportunity to pass the message to Wufeng. She did not go to the contact in person, so she did not know that the person who received the message was in the Wanhua Tower in the Old Dust Valley...Mother Jiang, the message about the palace gate's marriage selection in 20 years was sent back to Wufeng from you, right?"

The recorder in the next small room burst into tears, trembling as he frantically recorded. Help, this melon is too big for him to handle.

Mother Jiang glared at Zhang Xueming angrily, her eyes almost spitting fire.

Even without the ability to read faces, Gong Yuanzheng could tell what her expression meant: [You know everything, and you're still making such a fuss?!]

The confession of only one person is not enough. Zhang Xueming looked at her expression and estimated that the time was right, so he untied Jiang Mama's mute point.

Mother Jiang was angry at Zhang Xueming's attitude of asking questions knowingly and teasing her, and she also hated Wu Fengzhong for betraying her.

There were only a few people who were qualified to know her identity and where her mission was, and even fewer people were known by the jackdaw, who was nearly 40 years old. As soon as she was free to speak, she started to curse without any manners, starting with the person she suspected, and she would drag him down with her even if she died.

Jiang Yunhong's status in Wufeng was not low. At least she knew exactly who the Wufeng assassin lurking in the palace gate was.

She was not talented in martial arts, but fortunately she was pretty and smart, and was initially trained to be a networker and gather information. Twenty-five years ago, she entered the Old Dust Valley through the affairs of Gong Hongyu and Gong Men, and never planned to leave again, nor did she report Ming Wuji's becoming the second wife of the Blade Master.

Anyway, every year I have to help send a few Wufeng juniors into the palace. Except for the little girl who was hung on the city gate for public display two years ago and her body that can be taken back by Jackdaw, the others are gone once they go.

She had a past with Gong Hongyu, her identity was well hidden, and she was good at gathering information, so Wufeng leader simply let her stay here for a long time to gather information and support other Wufeng assassins. Ten years ago, when the palace gate was robbed, Han Yike and the former Nanfang Zhiwu came to meet her.

Five years ago, Situ Hong, the current Southern Ghost, who went by the alias Zi Yi, came to Wanhua Tower and seduced Gong Ziyu. She acted like she was obedient to Zi Yi and planted the Gu on herself. She thought that even if Wu Feng died, she would not be discovered. She did not expect that she would fall into the hands of a cowardly colleague and a yellow-haired girl.

Because the other acupoints were not unblocked, the water drops hit her forehead from time to time, which made Mother Jiang even more angry and she started cursing.

Zhang Xueming was calm and composed. He found Jiang Mama's little poems quite interesting, much more elegant than those of the barbarians in the north.

But how could Gong Yuanzheng listen to her scolding Zhang Xueming?

His eyes became fierce, and he turned around to take the wine jug on the table and poured it into Mother Jiang's neck.

In an instant, Mother Jiang's shrill screams were heard.

A foul smell of burning flesh accompanied by white smoke rose from her skin. Zhang Xueming looked at Mother Jiang's neck again, which was already covered in torn flesh and blood.

"Strong alkali or strong acid?" Zhang Xueming pulled Gong Yuanzheng back a little, firstly to prevent him from pouring it into Jiang's mother's mouth, and secondly, since he would feel nervous and uncomfortable seeing these things, it would be better to look at them less.

She curiously reached out to take the wine jug in Gong Yuanzheng's hand, but Gong Yuanzheng avoided her and gave her a sidelong glance: "It's poison. Fortunately, you didn't dig this out last time. This is one of the highly corrosive poisons I told you about."

Zhang Xueming pursed his lips. Seeing Mother Jiang screaming, he felt a headache. "You are too quick. I haven't finished asking."

The recorder tremblingly pulled open the light-blocking partition and asked the young couple who were still able to chat and laugh in the bloody torture room: "Miss Zhao, Mr. Zheng, what should we do now? Should we continue?"

"What are you going to say? Isn't this clear enough?" Gong Yuanzheng asked unhappily, "This woman named Jiang Yunhong is Wufeng's earth-level spy. She said that she was the most beautiful woman in Wanhua Tower 25 years ago. That means Wanhua Tower was already Wufeng's base at that time."

That big fool Gong Hongyu not only came forward to give money and information, but also included Wufeng stronghold in the list of secret strongholds of Gongmen. This is even more outrageous than his son Gong Ziyu!

It’s a pity that Gong Hongyu almost killed himself by giving money and information, but his son Gong Ziyu almost killed Gong Shangjiao!

Zhang Xueming turned around and pointed a finger at Jiang's mother, making her dizzy. Then he turned to ask the recorder, "Did you write down the names she used when she cursed at people just now?"
