Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 516 Shocking the Royal Guards

In fact, Mou Bin originally planned to persuade Zhu Houzhao to return to the East Palace first. It is not a good idea for you to wait here. You don’t really think that this little trick can reveal anything, right?

However, when the words came to his lips, Mou Bin finally did not speak.

Inside the imperial prison, a Jinyiwei flag looked at Mou Bin with some confusion, then stared at the White Lotus Sect members who were tied to the bed in the cell, and asked Mou Bin: "Sir, what... is this trick?"

Mou Bin said: "Interrogation method."

"Ah? Interrogation, hands, methods?"

What kind of interrogation method is this? Don't you see how comfortable the criminal is now? No one would interrogate someone like this.

Seeing the other party's suspicious and slightly contemptuous look, Mou Bin was furious and said, "Of course I know this is not okay!"

"But this is the prince's intention. Do you dare to disobey the prince's will?"

It can be seen that this flag bearer is also Mou Bin's confidant, otherwise he would not dare to speak to Mou Bin like this. The flag bearer just smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, so that's it. It turned out to be the Crown Prince's trick. The Crown Prince's trick is really... unprecedented and unparalleled. It's really brilliant!"

Mou Bin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop flattering me. The prince is not here. What do you mean by high-level tactics? What kind of tactics are these?"

"Do you really think you can make those evil white lotuses confess? Our Jinyiwei used so many methods but failed to find out anything. Can he really find out anything?"

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really finds out something using this method, wouldn't he, the Jinyiwei, lose all face?

Besides, he has already determined that the group of White Lotus evildoers he arrested definitely did not know any inside information. They were just a bunch of small fry. His judgment would not be wrong!
"Hey, wait a minute. Don't even bother going to work today. I don't know how long I have to wait."

Mou Bin sighed. The prince was still waiting in the Jinyiwei central hall, so they certainly didn't feel comfortable slacking off.

"You stay here and report anything. I will go and appease the Crown Prince and see if I can get him back to the East Palace as soon as possible."

"Here."

After Mou Bin arranged everything for the imperial prison, he returned to the central hall alone. Zhu Houzhao was still waiting there. When he saw Mou Bin coming back, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you confess?"

Mou Bin smiled bitterly and said, "No... Your Highness, I know that your method is very powerful, but the other party may not really be a core figure, so it is normal that he does not know about the White Lotus Sect."

"We have been interrogating him for such a long time, but he hasn't given us any useful information. I think you should go back to the East Palace and have a rest. Waiting like this is not a good idea."

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently: "You said that those arrested are not core figures. Then let me ask you, why can they bite their teeth and withstand so many powerful methods of forced confession by your Jinyiwei?"

"If they really didn't know anything, they would have confessed long ago. Even if they were talking nonsense, they would have made something up so that you wouldn't torture them anymore."

"But they didn't. They still gritted their teeth and persisted. Doesn't this prove something?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Mou Bin was stunned for a moment, then froze there, his face looking very unhappy.

Yes!

What the prince said is absolutely right, it makes a lot of sense!

The more he thought about it, the more shocked Mou Bin was! They were so patient that they didn't even confess a word during the torture, and they didn't even make up a lie to get rid of the Jinyiwei. This was enough to show that the other party was not as simple as a small shrimp!
No wonder the prince wanted to go back and continue the interrogation.

If the prince hadn't returned, Mou Bin thought they would have handed him over to the Ministry of Justice directly, and then these evildoers wouldn't have to suffer any torture, but would have been beheaded directly. So... they just wanted to die quickly?

Mou Bin gritted his teeth, his face looking very unhappy. He felt that he had been fooled and played by these bastards!

At this moment, the flag officer who was in the imperial prison just now rushed to the central hall and exclaimed: "Your Highness! Sir, he confessed! He confessed!"

Zhu Houzhao and Mou Bin were both stunned! Obviously, they didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant method could actually make the other party confess!

Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly and said to the Jinyiwei flag: "Take me there!"

Mou Bin followed closely behind. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out, could this method be better than the torture they had used before? Under such cruel torture, the other party did not confess, so why couldn't he withstand Zhu Houzhao's method for half an hour?
This is so weird!
It wasn't just Mou Bin who couldn't figure it out, Zhu Houzhao was the same.
When Chen Ce told him before, he looked incredulous. He couldn't believe that this interrogation, which didn't seem to be an interrogation, could actually work.

When the two of them arrived outside the Imperial Prison, they heard a barely perceptible sound of pain coming from inside, and a voice whispered, "Quick, take the things away, I confess, I'll tell you everything..."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Mou Bin, then said, "Go in and light the lamp."

In the dim cell, the lights were turned on, and when they looked at the White Lotus member again, they saw that his lips were dry, his face was pale, and he had no strength at all. He was on the verge of death.

But they clearly didn't do anything. They just dripped water on his forehead. Why did it make him look like this?
Mou Bin said to Xiaoqi beside him, "Let him go."

"Give me a sip of water."

After a series of operations, the White Lotus member was finally able to speak normally, but his eyes were still filled with deep fear, and it was obvious that he was tortured to the extreme by the punishment just now.

"I said it, I said it all."

Mou Bin asked sternly: "Who sent you here?!"

"Yes, it's the White Lotus Sect's guardian..."

It turned out that this group of people were the core killers of the White Lotus Sect, and the one who ordered them to assassinate Chen Ce was the White Lotus Sect protector in the capital area.

The White Lotus Sect has a pyramid-shaped structure. The top level is the White Lotus Mother, the next level is the local protectors, and below the protectors are the killers, followers, etc.

As for why they wanted to assassinate Chen Ce, the Dharma Protectors said that it was the order given by the Mother of the White Lotus herself that Chen Ce must be killed at all costs.

This is all the information these killers know, and they don’t know anything else.

We must capture the White Lotus Sect’s guardian in the capital!

Mou Bin immediately asked, "Who is your Dharma protector?"

The White Lotus Sect member hurriedly said, "Yes, she is in Qingchun Tower in Shuntian Prefecture. She is the most popular prostitute in Qingchun Tower."

She's actually a woman?
Mou Bin had an unfriendly look on his face. He immediately clasped his fists to say goodbye to Zhu Houzhao, and immediately took the Jinyiwei to arrest the man!
Zhu Houzhao was stunned. Qingchunlou... the oiran? Wasn't that the brothel where he went before? Last time, he had a conflict with the four talented men in the capital in order to see this oiran. In the end, it was his younger brother who came to rescue him.

He never imagined that the courtesan was actually a demon from the White Lotus Sect!
"and many more!"

Zhu Houzhao stopped Mou Bin and said, "Don't alert the enemy yet!"
