At Lin Ping's command, two captains dragged a man who looked like a dead dog over. The man was stunned when he saw Lin Ping.

"You're actually still alive?"

Qin Diao Hui was utterly astonished; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Lin Ping had some doubts at first, but seeing Qin Diaohui's terrified expression, he finally felt relieved.

The two captains threw Qin Diaohui's body, which was like a rotten mud, in front of Lin Ping, and pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords to prevent the scoundrel from having any ill intentions.

Qin Diaohui was already injured, and the unfriendly treatment from the two captains made him look pathetic, which aroused the sympathy of many people.

Although the previous incident has come to an end, and everyone believes that Qin Diaohui deserved it, he is now lying obediently in his military tent, and it is impossible for him to cause trouble. Therefore, he should not be treated like this.

Lin Ping bent down, lifted Qin Diaohui's chin with one hand, and said bluntly, "The assassins you hired seem to be unreliable. With a little trickery, they sold you out."

Recalling the events of the night before last, Lin Ping still felt lingering fear. The five men in black were exceptionally strong, and the two gang leaders were no match for them.

Lin Ping initially thought that Zhang Hongyuan was behind it, but then he thought it was unlikely. The other party was only a captain, and it was impossible for him to send out an assassin who was more powerful than the captain.

After much thought, Lin Ping came up with another target: Qin Diaohui, the man whose testicles he had kicked that day.

Of course, Lin Ping wasn't sure if Qin Diao Hui could find such a powerful assassin, but the moment Pang Xingji rebelled against Jiang Yunying, Lin Ping's confidence was strengthened.

Although this fellow's official rank is not high, he can bewitch the captain, and even the entire military camp. It is entirely possible that he can find an assassin who is more powerful than the squad leader.

Therefore, Lin Ping wanted to verify his inner doubts, which is why he ordered someone to forcibly bring Qin Diaohui here. The panicked look in the other party's eyes when he saw him had already answered all the questions.

"Impossible, they wouldn't betray me, they are..."

Qin Diaohui shook his head repeatedly, then suddenly shut his mouth. If he continued, he would not only betray the other party, but also admit that he was the one who wanted to assassinate Lin Ping.

"Without any evidence, on what grounds do you say I want to kill you?"

Qin Diaohui suddenly felt emboldened and deliberately spoke loudly to Jiang Yunying.

That's right. Lin Ping's statement was entirely based on conjecture, without any evidence, and Qin Diaohui cannot be convicted based on it.

However, before the words were even finished, Jiang Yunying's ghostly figure had already appeared in front of Qin Diaohui, and she asked in a cold voice, "How did you know that your husband was assassinated?"

The assassination attempt on Lin Ping was kept extremely secret; even the servants of the city lord's mansion had few knowledge of it, let alone Qin Diaohui, who was lying in the military camp.

Lin Ping only mentioned the word "assassin" without mentioning that he himself had been assassinated. Qin Diao Hui had essentially confessed without being asked.

Qin Diao Hui panicked, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Naturally, he dared not mention the assassin. Forcing himself to muster his courage, he shouted loudly to the thousands of soldiers, "I have been wronged. You cannot convict me without any evidence."

Jiang Yunying has always been deeply troubled by Lin Ping's assassination attempt, not only because she is worried about Lin Ping's safety, but also because the other party was challenging the authority of the City Lord's Mansion.

Now that it has been determined that Qin Diao Hui was the one who interfered, we must not let this man live, lest he disrupt the entire army.

Unfortunately, a reason is needed to convict Qin Diaohui; it cannot be based on mere speculation.

"If you reveal the identities of those people, I'll leave you a whole corpse."

Lin Ping spoke sarcastically to Qin Diaohui, not caring whether there was any evidence or not.

Qin Diaohui's face was ashen, and his heart was pounding.

He probably wouldn't believe it if someone else said this, but he had witnessed Lin Ping's ruthlessness firsthand; he would dare to kill him even without any evidence.

Lin Ping was honest; he did not promise the other party that he could live. After all, Jiang Yunying would not allow such a traitor to emerge from her private army, so she could only leave him with a complete corpse.

Qin Diaohui's mind went blank, completely losing the ability to think independently. He knelt on the ground and quickly crawled behind Pang Xingji, pleading, "Save me, Captain, save me!"

Pang Xingji was an upright man with considerable prestige in the army, making him the perfect person to protect me.

Lin Ping wanted to continue the interrogation, but after using his X-ray vision to discover five small black balls inside the other party's body, he immediately shook his head and said, "It seems we won't get any results from this."

Judging from their behavior that night, those men in black were a tightly organized group, and Qin Diaohui was also a member of that group. This meant that he was destined not to tell the truth, even if it meant death.

Moreover, Lin Ping made it perfectly clear that even if he confessed, he would only be left with a complete corpse, with no chance of survival. Qin Diaohui could only place his hopes on Pang Xingji and on the gossip of his ten thousand brothers in the army.

If Jiang Yunying were to kill himself for no reason, someone would surely plead his case, causing chaos in the army.

Lin Ping slowly walked to Qin Diaohui's side, lifted his chin again, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Master Ping will make you die convinced of your guilt."

"Hmph! Unless you produce evidence, these ten thousand brothers will not agree!"

Qin Diaohui, emboldened and fearless, said that if Lin Ping hadn't stepped on his calf, he probably would have stood up to speak.

"You two, tell me what's going on."

Lin Ping gave the two officers a wink.

These two were the same two squad leaders who initially protected Lin Ping. Later, they were replaced by two squad leaders, and they returned to the army.

That day, after Lin Ping beat Qin Diao Hui to a pulp, he felt that this guy was not so simple, so he reminded Jiang Yunying to be more careful, but she did not believe him.

Left with no other choice, Lin Ping secretly approached the two captains and, through a combination of persuasion, threats, and deception, finally managed to get them to agree to keep an eye on Qin Diaohui for him. Today, their usefulness has finally come in handy.

"Qin Diaohui framed his son-in-law, disrupted the morale of the army, and plotted treason. He should be executed!"

A flag bearer shouted loudly.

They weren't from the City Lord's Mansion, and their words were quite impartial, immediately igniting everyone's anger towards Qin Diaohui.

“In recent days, Qin Diao Hui has been spreading rumors about his son-in-law everywhere, slandering the princess for favoritism and corruption, in order to disrupt the morale of the army.”

Another person explained.

Everyone fell into thought, and even Pang Xingji blushed and chimed in, "That's right, it was Qin Diaohui who deceived me, Pang Xingji, and almost caused a great mistake."

Coincidentally, everyone who has had contact with Qin Diaohui in recent days has come to the same conclusion.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The soldiers, filled with righteous indignation, declared that they could not allow a traitor to live in the world.

"Lin Ping, how did you know my identity?"

Qin Diaohui was heartbroken and knew he was powerless to refute, so he just wanted to die knowing why.

Over the years, he had been lying low in the military camp, never revealing a trace, so it was impossible for Lin Ping to see through him at a glance.

Lin Ping whispered in Qin Diaohui's ear without hesitation, "Because of your name..."

Next, Lin Ping briefly recounted the story of Qin Hui, advising the other party to change their name if they were to be reborn.

Qin Diaohui was already a dying man, so Lin Ping had no reason to lie to him. Qin Diaohui laughed loudly, which was somewhat heroic, but at the end his laughter his face became hideous and he opened his mouth wide and quickly bit into Lin Ping's crotch: "Even if I die, I will take your most precious thing with me and make Jiang Yunying live as a widow!"
