King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Hear the calling voice.

The guards waiting outside the door came in hurriedly: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Han."

Seeing the person in front of them paying respect, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other and asked at the same time:
"Were you present when King Zhao was interrogating us just now?"

"If you are not here, go and call someone who is involved."

"We have something to ask."

The guard was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and quickly replied: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Han, I was there at the time, I wonder what you two masters want?"

Say it.

He looked at the two of them with curiosity, not quite understanding what they meant.

Could it be that he suspected that King Zhao's interrogation was fake?
In this regard.

After getting a definite answer, the two men took in the guard's expression and probably knew what he was thinking. They were too lazy to explain too much. Of course, the guard was not qualified to ask the two men to explain his doubts. So they asked directly about their doubts and said:

"I heard that it took less than an hour for King Zhao to try the Japanese bandit leader Ueno, arrest and clean up all the Japanese bandits, and then try the captured Japanese bandits."

"Since you were present at the time and participated in the incident."

"I think you know this matter very well, so why not tell us what method King Zhao used to interrogate us?"

"To be able to get the Japanese bandits to cooperate like this, you have to know that these bandits are not spineless."

"Is it possible?"

I just feel curious about the interrogation methods!
The guard suddenly seemed to think of something extremely disgusting, his body shuddered subconsciously, and a hint of intriguing embarrassment emerged on his face.

In this regard.

There was nothing to hide, but I couldn't help but think about King Zhao's interrogation methods.

He felt a little nervous and conflicted, not knowing whether he should say it.

After all, he had been outside the door before, but he vaguely heard that the two masters in front of him had asked King Zhao about interrogation methods. Judging from the current situation, it seems that King Zhao has not mentioned a word. If he reveals everything now, will it cause dissatisfaction from King Zhao, or make King Zhao offended because of this? The identities of the two masters in front of him are no worse than King Zhao, or even slightly better. If he doesn't say anything, the two masters in front of him will definitely be unhappy. For a moment, he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

It’s not right to say it, and it’s not right not to say it either.

Seeing the guard in front of him who was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed drastically and he fell into deep thought.

In this regard.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, who were both very smart, naturally understood his concerns and waved their hands at him:
"rest assured."

"Just say it if you're brave enough."

"The King of Zhao didn't say anything, but he had his reasons for not saying it."

"But this matter does not prevent others from speaking out, and he has never ordered others not to speak out."

"Besides, we two are asking you about this matter, and we two are your guarantors."

"Even if King Zhao knew, he would never do anything to you."

"Do you understand?"

That's what I said.

What does it mean to understand clearly?

With his humble status, what difference does it make if he understands? What difference does it make if he doesn't understand?

Can a little arm really bend over a thigh?
In this matter, with his humble status, does he have the right to choose?

"Oh..." Thinking of this, the guard couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He calmed himself down and simply organized his thoughts. He spoke softly and told the two brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu about the interrogation methods that Zhu Gaosui had used before.

As he spoke, the expressions on their faces changed unpredictably, from shock to disgust, disbelief and astonishment.

At this moment.

After hearing the reason for everything, the two of them shuddered involuntarily. They finally understood why Zhu Gaosui, the King of Zhao, who was so thick-skinned, blushed slightly and looked embarrassed when they asked about the reasons. It turned out that this bastard used such an interrogation method!

Have to admit.

It was indeed their fault, and it was really hard to talk about.

But it must be said that although the method was disgusting, the effect was extremely significant. The Japanese bandits, who were determined to die, could not withstand such a method and explained everything they knew clearly.

That's it.

After a long while, the two finally came back to their senses from their daze. They couldn't help but laugh at each other and waved to the guards kneeling on the ground: "Got it, you can leave now!"

To the guards' ears, these words sounded like the sound of nature.

Without any hesitation, he hurried out the door.

After the guards left, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other again and said in unison:
"The third child! The third child!"

"Don't mention these bad ideas and abilities that harm others."

"Our Ming Dynasty is truly like this. If he claims to be number one, no one dares to claim to be number two."

"This technique is unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

"It's really... I can't comment on it."

"It's cruel and shameless enough."

"But it's also good. Being kind to the enemy means being cruel to ourselves. This is a good thing to do."

Afterwards, the two of them had been busy for dozens of days and had not had a good rest. After the matter was settled, the fatigue accumulated over the days suddenly hit them, and they all yawned at the same time, looking exhausted.

The two did not stay in the imperial prison for too long. After all, after this incident, everything that needed to be dealt with had been dealt with, and all that was left was some minor finishing work.

……

The White Lotus Sect's hiding place somewhere in Yingtian City.

After dealing with the search and escaping the danger, Old Ling sat upright, tapping the solid wooden table with his right hand from time to time, making a crisp "bang bang bang" sound. His eyes were fixed straight on the closed gate outside the yard with a solemn expression, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.

Only about a quarter of an hour passed.

crunch...

There was a sharp sound of the door opening, and the tightly closed courtyard door was slowly pushed open, and Liu Xu's figure quickly entered.

Looking at Liu Xu who came in, Elder Ling asked hurriedly:

"how?"

"How many of our people have been arrested and imprisoned this time?"

"What's the situation outside now?"

Liu Xu looked solemn upon hearing this, and calmed himself down and simply sorted out his thoughts:

"Mr. Ling."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the city-wide search has been completely concluded."

"Fortunately, the loss of our personnel was minimal. A total of four people were arrested and imprisoned. Two of them were released directly after being examined by the Royal Guards. As for the remaining two, for unknown reasons, they have not been released yet."

"call"

After getting the definite answer, Mr. Ling, who had been sitting upright with a serious face, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The heart that had been hanging in the air was finally put down.

After all, a total of four people were arrested, and two have been released.

Such a result was far beyond his expectations. Such a result and answer were indeed very good news.

After a brief pause, Ling Lao's expression calmed down and he asked quietly:
"What are the identities of the two people who have not been released?"

"How much do you know about my teaching?"

"Will it pose a threat to our religion?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu couldn't help but laugh, waved his hand and replied:

"Don't worry, Mr. Ling."

"The two people arrested are both external personnel of our sect."

"I have only been accepted into our religion for a short time, so I know very little about the things in our religion."

"Even if their identities are known to the Jinyiwei, they can be tortured and get everything they know out of it, and it won't have any impact on us."

"Those two guys aren't fools, they won't say anything."

"At least they have a chance to survive. If they dare to reveal that they are members of our sect, it is self-evident what kind of fate awaits them."

“So…” “Don’t worry at all.”

Hearing this, Elder Ling nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, this is the case, it is also perfect."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and continued with a serious expression:
"but…"

"During this period of time, I'd better ask the people below to behave themselves."

“So-called small actions, do as little as possible.”

"Although Yingtian City is under martial law, it will be lifted soon."

"But that doesn't mean the Jinyiwei will relax their vigilance."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese bandits will confess after they can't stand the interrogation."

"They must know what role we played in this, and they will definitely not let us off easily."

"They will definitely try to catch us in Yingtian City."

"The lesson from last time is still fresh in our minds. We are determined not to make the same mistake again."

“It is better to be cautious and never be complacent.”

"The Jinyiwei's dog noses are still extremely sensitive. There is no need to get yourself involved."

"Once the recent storm has passed, we can make a long-term plan."

"Do you understand?"

About it.

As for Yu Liuxu.

Even if Mr. Ling didn't say anything, he would naturally know it.

Moreover, he had just passed down the order in the same way.

Others may not understand, but he has fought with the Jinyiwei more than once or twice, so how could he not understand this truth?
Over the years, he was able to escape the Jinyiwei's encirclement several times and caught the attention of Master Ling. Wasn't it because of his caution?
Then, Liu Xu nodded slightly and agreed:
"Don't worry, Mr. Ling."

"I had already explained this matter when I was gathering information earlier."

"Everyone below should know what to do."

"There will definitely not be any forks at this time."

Seeing his disciple's reply, Elder Ling's smile grew wider. He had to admit that his disciple was indeed very trustworthy and did not worry him much about many things. He really thought about what he wanted. "Very good. Liu Xu! Liu Xu! You are becoming more and more mature and stable. After working hard for a while, we will find an opportunity to nominate you to the headquarters and try our best to promote you to a higher position."

"I'm optimistic about you."

This statement came out.

Liu Xu was startled for a moment, and then his face showed an excitement and excitement that was hard to conceal. He said:

"Everything is thanks to your teaching, Master Ling. Without your careful teaching, I am afraid that I would still be a dull and reckless person."

While speaking, Liu Xu bowed deeply to Mr. Ling who was sitting on the armchair.

Elder Ling smiled without commenting, waved his hand and said:
"okay."

"We are so close, why should we flatter each other?"

"Ha ha……"

"That's almost it."

"I think we will have nothing to do during this period of time."

"It's a good opportunity for you to play chess and drink tea with us."

……

at the same time.

The residence of Prince Zhao.

After Zhu Gaosui entered the palace, his expression became solemn, and he instructed the guards at the door:

"Let Wen Long come to the study immediately."

"I have something to ask him."

Say it.

Zhu Gaosui ignored the guards and turned around and walked quickly towards the study.

In the study.

Zhu Gaosui half-closed his eyes and frowned slightly, supported his chin with his left hand, tapped the table lightly with his right hand, and fell into deep thought.

"Dong dong dong..."

Not long after.

There was a crisp knock on the door, followed by a questioning voice: "My Lord... may this old servant come in?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Gaosui's half-closed eyes suddenly opened and replied: "Yes!"

After receiving the affirmation, Wen Long pushed open the door and walked in, bowing and saying, "Old slave, I pay my respects to the prince."

"No need to be polite!" Zhu Gaosui waved his hand and continued, "Old Wen, I have some information here and I need you to arrange someone to confirm it for me."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became serious, "For this matter, you must find someone smart enough to handle it for me. Remember, it must not be discovered by others. It's better to take a little longer. Do you understand?"

While speaking, Zhu Gaosui picked up a piece of paper with ink that had not yet dried on the table and said, "This is our destination this time."

Seeing his master acting like this, Wen Long was very curious about the identity of the person under supervision that worthy of Zhu Gaosui's seriousness, but he also knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Since he was asked to handle this matter, it was only a matter of time before he found out the identity of the person being monitored. There was no need to rush.

Wen Long didn't want to be negligent, so he quickly agreed:
"promise!"

"Old slave, let's do it now."

Then, he bowed slightly and quickly disappeared from the room.

Wait until it leaves.

The entire study fell into silence. Zhu Gaosui looked around and murmured in a low voice:
"White Lotus Sect?"

"Hum hum……"

"Choose the second one, give him a hat, and if he fails, he won't have any contact with us."

"That's good. Since you look down on me like this, shouldn't I have a good time with you guys?"

"Let's see who is stronger, you or me..."

"I can also use you as a chance to show off in front of this old man."

"You guys deserved to die."

……

The next day.

The palace of the King of Han.

After having a good sleep and a good rest, Zhu Gaoxu felt full of energy.

After a simple breakfast, he hummed a little tune and strolled leisurely in the huge palace.

His life can be said to be quite comfortable.

But the good times didn’t last long.

Zhu Gaoxu had been walking for less than a quarter of an hour when he saw Lao He running towards him in a hurry. Zhu Gaoxu, who had hardly aroused his interest, lost interest in an instant and pointed at Lao He:

"You! You!"

"Tell me about it!"

"what happened again?"

"I finally have some free time, and you look like this again."

"What a miserable life!"
