The moment their identities were revealed, the four people on the ground trembled and all lowered their heads.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Chen Squad Leader, do you recognize them?"
"I've heard of them."
Chen San replied, "They are from the 'Colorful Gate' troupe in Jizhou, wandering along the Huitong River. They're quite famous. I heard they even had a conflict with another troupe and invited someone to mediate."
He continued with a cold laugh, "I don't know what made them so bold as to conspire with demons for rebellion!"
"Rebellion?!"
At these words, Yang Lao Hai on the ground suddenly looked up, gritted his teeth and said, "We're all fellow pugilists, I've been caught, so be it. Do whatever you want, but don't spread lies!"
It's no wonder he was anxious; murder and rebellion are two entirely different things.
One is a personal act, at most leaving a personal scar.
But rebellion would implicate one's entire family, causing unknown trouble.
