"Second Senior Brother, are you alright? Are you injured? Where is that bastard Shi Wengong?"

A large group of people carrying torches came from the direction of Zengtou City. Ren Yuan led the way, and the moment he saw Lu Junyi, Ren Yuan asked with a smile.

"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, and I caught that bastard."

Lu Junyi felt particularly comfortable listening to Ren Yuan's words.

What are fellow disciples? This is what fellow disciples are like!

First, I'll ask if you're alright, then I'll ask about anything else!

"Second Senior Brother truly deserves to be called the number one outlaw in the Song Dynasty, capturing Shi Wengong alive!"

Ren Yuan followed Lu Junyi's finger and saw a figure bound like a rice dumpling lying on the ground in the firelight.

"To be honest, it was thanks to Brother Su Ding's help that we were able to capture this guy alive; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy."

Lu Junyi never forgot Su Ding, that good man.

"Su Ding?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised. Wasn't this Shi Wengong's deputy?

"Chief Ren, I have long admired your name."

Seeing the blood still around Su Ding's mouth and the obvious wound on his thigh, Ren Yuan was a little confused about what had happened. Not only Ren Yuan, but the other brothers who had come with him also didn't know what was going on.

Is Su Ding... abandoning darkness for light?

"Junior brother, it's like this..."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Ren Yuan's and the others' faces, Lu Junyi spoke up to explain on Su Ding's behalf.

"Good guy!"

Ren Yuan was taken aback. He never expected that Su Ding would have such a story!

"Brother Su Ding, Shi Wengong has been captured, and your mission is complete. What are your plans now?"

Ren Yuan admired the man who had endured so much hardship and humiliation for so many years.

As for whether Su Ding's statement is true or false, a lie cannot become the truth, and a truth cannot become a lie; as long as an investigation is conducted, the truth can still be found out.

"Now that the mission is complete, I have no more worries. I just want to find a place and live a quiet life as a wealthy man."

Su Ding smiled.

"If you want to become a wealthy man, you must first heal your injuries. Your injuries are quite serious. Come to my Liangshan and let the divine doctors on the mountain treat you."

If what Su Ding said is true, then he really is a hero, and who wouldn't want a hero with the ability to train troops?

"Chief Ren is willing to treat me?"

Su Ding was somewhat surprised, because no matter how he looked at it, this person was not the kind of江湖人 (jianghu person) that Liangshan needed.

He's a secret agent for the imperial court! Isn't Ren Yuan afraid?

“Although you have been in Zengtou City for so many years, you have not been assimilated by them and have kept your mission in mind. For this alone, I admire you!”

"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Ren."

Su Ding was indeed seriously injured, and since Ren Yuan was willing to help treat him, he would not refuse.

"Someone, bring a stretcher and carry Teacher Su to Huichun Camp."

Ren Yuan gestured to his junior officers to carry Su Ding away, then looked at Shi Wengong, who was bound like a rice dumpling.

"This is the guy who stole Master's martial arts, cruelly murdered Uncle Chen's family, and even thought about going to the Jurchens to freeload?"

"Hmph, Ren Yuan, it's all about the winner taking all the blame. You've won, so you can say whatever you want!"

Shi Wengong looked at Ren Yuan and said fiercely.

"Are you still reasonable?"

Ren Yuan looked at Shi Wengong and felt extremely disdainful.

Shi Wengong, you're an ungrateful wolf cub!

"Men, bring iron nails and chains, and pierce his collarbone!"

Ren Yuan was angry, so his words were cold and harsh.

"Ren Yuan! You're not a human being!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Wengong's pupils suddenly contracted!

Piercing his collarbone—that's going to cripple his martial arts skills!

"Shi Wengong, all your skills were learned by stealing the martial arts of my sect. Moreover, you used despicable and shameless means to learn the halberd techniques of my Uncle Chen's family. Today, I will cripple you as a way of cleaning up the sect!"

Ren Yuan didn't care about Shi Wengong's thoughts at all. When his men brought over the nails and chains, Ren Yuan even prepared to take action himself!

"Ren Yuan! You dare! If you dare cripple me, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

As Shi Wengong watched the iron nails approach Ren Yuan, he cursed wildly and struggled incessantly on the ground!

But it was no use, because Lu Junyi had just tied him up very tightly!

"Second Senior Brother, help me hold him down!"

Ren Yuan invited Lu Junyi to come and help, and Lu Junyi readily agreed.

"Shi Wengong, you brought this upon yourself, you deserve to live! I will take you to see my master first, and then I will decide your fate!"

"Hey!"

As Ren Yuan spoke, he forcefully drove the iron nail in his hand into Shi Wengong's collarbone!

"Ahhh-"

The excruciating pain of having his collarbone pierced through caused Shi Wengong to let out a pitiful cry!

"What are you yelling about? The Jurchens have been here for so many years, bullying men and women. As the chief teacher of Zengtou City, you were their accomplice. Weren't you very powerful back then? How many people did you kill? The pain you are feeling now is not enough to repay them!"

"Ren Yuan, you despicable man, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one and see if I can kill you!"

Shi Wengong spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it onto Ren Yuan's face!

"No need. If you lose to my second senior brother, it's the same as you losing to me."

Ren Yuan did not stop his work because of Shi Wengong's mouthful of blood. His hands were as steady as an old dog, and he personally completed the task of piercing the collarbone!

"Remember this, Shi Wengong, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of your life! You are a traitor, a villain who betrayed us Han people!"

"You are a major traitor!"

"You bastard, what about you? You're a Song person, yet you've gathered so many men at Liangshan. What are you? You're a traitor to the Song Dynasty!"

With his collarbone pierced, Shi Wengong was no longer able to threaten Ren Yuan and could only continue to verbally resist him.

"Who I am is not for you to decide, but for the people of the world to decide!"

Ren Yuan took the handkerchief handed to him by the junior officer, wiped the blood from his face, then squatted down and patted Shi Wengong's face:

"But whether you are a traitor or not is up to me to decide."

"Men, drag Shi Wengong away! And let the local people come and see if this guy was an accomplice when the Jurchens bullied us!"

"If there is any, let's settle our scores and avenge our grudges today! As long as he's alive, we'll fight him however we want!"

"Ren Yuan! You bastard! You're not human!"

Upon hearing that he would be beaten and scolded by those he used to look down on, Shi Wengong suddenly felt extremely panicked!

He is Shi Wengong, a figure second only to the city head in Zengtou City. How could he be judged by those peasants!

"When you willingly became a dog to the Jurchens, you should have known this day would come!"

Ren Yuan gestured to the junior officer to drag Shi Wengong away! He didn't want to see this man! Disgusting!

"Ren Yuan! Ren Yuan! I'll haunt you even as a ghost! I curse you..."

Shi Wengong was dragged away, and his cursing faded into the distance. His words were probably muffled by someone, and could not be heard clearly.

Lu Junyi watched as Shi Wengong was dragged away, and Ren Yuan remained silent, then stepped forward and said:

"Junior brother, don't take Shi Wengong's words to heart. He deserves to end up like this!"

"Second Senior Brother, I don't care about him at all. He's just a stray dog. I'm not afraid of him while he's alive. After I die, I'll have more brothers than him in the underworld!"

Ren Yuan waved his hand, he just sighed a little.

A top-three master of the underworld, willingly serving as a dog for a foreign race, without showing any remorse.

The Song Dynasty is doomed!
