Xu Qing's mood improved.
After giving some instructions to Su Lianqing, he went straight to Li Mansion, to his room, and slept soundly.
This sleep lasted until noon the next day.
The daylight was bright, just like Xu Qing's mood at the moment.
After having his meal, he went to the Punishment Room at the County Government.
Guo Zhuang respectfully handed over a stack of papers, saying, "Young Master, these are his confessions."
After Xu Qing glanced through them, he tapped on the table and said, "He hasn't confessed who's behind this?"
Guo Zhuang replied, "This man knows the Turtle Breath Technique; whenever we ask about something he doesn't want to reveal, he simply feigns death. I'm afraid of killing him and ruining your important business, so I dared not use severe torture."
Xu Qing nodded, telling Guo Zhuang to bring the person out.
