After all, Xu Dali's two sons had already been caught, so there was no fear he wouldn't confess.
Xu Dali lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Spare my two sons, they are still young and know nothing."
Ding Zhigang nodded and said, "As long as you confess willingly, considering our past relationship, I will plead for mercy from Lord County Magistrate on your behalf."
Xu Dali hesitated for a moment and confessed, "About a year and a half ago, someone approached me and asked me to watch the County Government gateway to see who was coming and going. For instance, if some important person left, I was to promptly release the news."
Ding Zhigang asked, "How did you release the news?"
Xu Dali said, "I know how to write, so I would write a note and put it into a takeout package, then have my son run an errand to deliver it to Hanxiang Building and that was enough."
Ding Zhigang understood and asked, "Who was the person who recruited you?"
