The next day, Wang Linchi heard the news that Fang Cheng had been arrested; it had only taken a day and a night to capture him.
He seemed to have undergone severe torture before his death. Whether he had resisted or not was unknown. Of course, the final outcome was a formal execution.
Wang Linchi even went to see it; the corpse was hung on the city wall.
From the blurred face, it could indeed be identified as Fang Cheng. There wasn't a single piece of intact flesh on the corpse, and his limbs were severely twisted.
One had to admit, although the Dajing Court oppressed and exploited people in various ways, and Qinghe City was merely a small city, the power of the official forces was not to be underestimated. Dealing with a Fang Cheng of unknown origin had taken only a day.
As for the extra night, Wang Linchi believed it must have been used for interrogation.
After this incident, the entirety of Qinghe City experienced a rare period of liveliness.
