Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

The cave was dark, with only a few dim oil lamps casting flickering light on the walls.

This place is less like a prison cell and more like a cage converted from a natural stone cave.

The air was damp and cold, mixed with a musty smell and a metallic rusty odor.

Tao took a deep breath, composed herself, and continued walking inside.

Deep inside, a thick iron fence separated a cell.

In the corner of the cell, a burly figure was huddled up. Hearing footsteps, he suddenly raised his head.

This man was none other than Hu Biao from Tiger Head Village, who had been brought in.

The once powerful and arrogant second-in-command is now a prisoner.

The only difference is the loss of freedom; otherwise, nothing seems to have changed.

He was wearing the same clothes as before, and he was sitting leisurely at a low table, drinking wine and eating peanuts.

He seems to be doing quite well; this isn't jail time, it's clearly a life of luxury.

"Oh, Little Peach Girl, you've finally arrived!

"Looks like my older brother still sent you here." Hu Biao's voice was tinged with sarcasm, and his face showed obvious smugness.

Tao'er stopped in front of the iron bars, put down the food box, and calmly said, "Second Master, the First Master sent me to bring you food."

What did you mean by what you just said?

What do you mean by "the boss sent me here"?

I'm just bringing you food!

After saying that, he took the food out of the food box and put it in through the iron bars one by one.

Then, feigning confusion, he asked.

Sure enough, the top leader and the second-in-command reached some kind of deal!

"You just came to deliver food?"

Is this what your older brother said to you?

Hahaha………

Did he tell you that?

Hahaha………

That's hilarious!

The second-in-command's laughter echoed in the dark dungeon, sending chills down one's spine!

What are you laughing at?

"Just say what you have to say, or I'm leaving."

Tao'er picked up the wooden box and turned to leave, her ears perked up as she listened to the sounds behind her.

The next second, she heard the second-in-command shout in a fierce voice behind her, "You bitch, don't you dare leave!"

You'd better stay and serve me!

Upon hearing this, Tao'er turned around and asked, "Second Master, are you talking nonsense here?"

Why should I stay and serve you?

"Am I not your slave?"

"Hahaha………

You are not my servant, but you are my daughter, and the head of the household has already agreed to give you to me.

He said that as long as I was willing to stay here for the rest of my life, he wouldn't take my life.

I can also have children with women here.

So I asked my older brother to give you to me.

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense! The boss would never do such a thing. I'm his savior."

He's waiting for me to cook for him!

Peach pretended to be nervous and scared, backing away as she did so.

The next moment...

The lock on the iron gate actually fell off under Hu Biao's violent shaking; it turned out the lock on the iron gate was open.

It looks like it was all arranged by the boss; someone tampered with it.

Hu Biao's eyes suddenly flashed with a venomous light. He quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed Tao'er's arm.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Tao'er, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

"Second Master, why are you grabbing me? Let me go!"

Tao shouted sternly.

You bitch!

You despicable woman!

You're the one who made me end up like this!

Still trying to run? No time to waste!

Look, even God isn't on your side.

The people guarding the cave forgot to lock the cell.

Today I will make you beg for mercy beneath me...

Hu Biao roared, his voice echoing through the cave, causing dust to fall from the walls.

Tao'er stopped struggling and just looked at him quietly, her eyes clear, without fear, and even with a hint of pity.

"Second-in-command, it wasn't me who harmed you, it was yourself."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached Hu Biao's ears clearly.

"It was you who colluded with court officials, intending to betray the brothers of Tiger Head Stronghold, and even poisoned the leader, which forced the leader to expel you from the ranks."

Hu Biao roared, "In batches!"

That bastard Zhang Fei probably wanted to get rid of me too, right?

The claim of colluding with foreign enemies is nothing but an excuse!

How many dirty tricks has he done over the years?

Did he think that locking me up here would solve everything?

I have something on him!

It was enough to ruin his reputation and leave him with no place to be buried!

Tao'er's heart stirred, but she remained expressionless.

As expected, the second-in-command, Hu Biao, had learned the first-in-command's secret, which is why the first-in-command didn't kill him.

The head of the gang was shameless enough to give this little woman to the second-in-command as a gift.

"Second Master, you're about to die, and you still have to brag in front of me. You're shameless!"

"It's not like I'm just bragging."

Tao'er continued.

"What nonsense am I spouting?"

I, Hu Biao, never brag!

Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You play with me for a bit!

Even though she's already married, I don't mind.

After saying that, he held a knife to Tao'er's neck and dragged her into the cell.

Then Hu Biao suddenly asked, "You bastard, tell me, what is your true identity?"

You're just an ordinary cook, how dare you be a witness and expose me?

Who would dare to enter this dark dungeon alone?

"How can you still talk to me so calmly?"

Peach met his gaze and slowly said, "I am someone who doesn't want to be manipulated or bullied. I am someone who holds grudges and seeks revenge."

I'm not a little white rabbit, nor a little lamb. I'm a wicked woman who can kill, understand?

"Ha ha……"

The laughter stopped abruptly after less than two seconds, replaced by a painful scream, followed by a clatter as the second-in-command's dagger fell to the ground.

Tao'er kicked him, hitting the second-in-command squarely in the groin. He writhed in pain in his cell, his face contorted with agony!

Tao'er sneered, "I told you long ago, don't mess with me!"

"Second-in-command, do you still want your life?"

Tao'er picked up the dagger from the ground, walked over, and pressed the tip of the dagger directly against the second-in-command's neck. The coldness of the dagger made Hu Biao break out in a cold sweat.

"Little Peach Girl, I was wrong, please don't kill me!"

I will never do it again!

Please spare me!

Hu Biao immediately chickened out. If he didn't admit his mistake, this brat could kill him with a single knife.

Now his eyes hurt so much he can't open them, and his lower body hurts so much he doesn't know if he'll be able to keep that function.

He hasn't married yet, and he has no children. He doesn't want to die.

"I might spare you, but you'll have to answer one sentence for every sentence I say."

Hu Biao nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.

"What leverage do you have over the boss?"

"He colluded with the Third Prince and foreign powers to kill Xiao Yi!"

"Are you referring to General Xiao Yi?"

Hu Biao nodded.

"What is the identity of Zhang Fei, the leader of the gang?"

There's no way a bandit leader like him could have gotten close to Xiao Yi!

Tao'er continued to ask.

"Because the chief's original name wasn't Zhang Fei, it was Zhang Mang. He was a lieutenant general in the Xiao family army."

Therefore, when Xiao Yi's plan was exposed, he was outnumbered and outmatched, which ultimately led to General Xiao's death.

"Damn it, that beast!"

The Xiao family army served the country and its people, and Xiao Jiajun's father, Prime Minister Xiao, was also utterly loyal. How could Zhang Mang do such a thing!

Tao'er was furious when she heard this!

"Little Peach...girl, now that I've told you everything, can you...let me go?"

At this moment, Hu Biao was like a limp shrimp, bent over in unbearable pain, but he dared not utter a sound.

What do you think...?

Tao'er gave a cold laugh, took out a stun gun, and knocked Hu Biao unconscious. Then she plunged a knife into his heart.

They then made a mess of the cell and opened the cell door.

Then he messed up his hair, unbuttoned one button at the collar of his clothes, and wrinkled them again.

The cloth shoes were also smeared with dirt from the prison, and the soles were rubbed on the ground a few times.

After doing all that, she ran out quickly, crying and shouting as she ran, "The second-in-command is going to kill me..."

Just as I reached the entrance, I saw Shi Qi running in with two guards at the cave entrance.

Tao'er immediately ran into Shi Qi's arms, and burst into tears in fright.

He muttered, "The second-in-command wants to kill me..."

Then, in an extremely soft voice, she said, "I'm perfectly fine, it's all an act!"

Xiao Yi was relieved and then patted her back in a cooperative manner.
