If the emperor hadn't trusted Han Du, Mao Xiang would have thought that Han Du was in league with the female official. Otherwise, why would Han Du jump out to stop the female officials every time they were about to be tortured?
Looking at Mao Xiang's eyes, Han Du touched his nose.
Han Du didn't want to do this, but he really couldn't stand the bloody scene, so he stopped Mao Xiang. If he were not here, Han Du would not care whether Mao Xiang should be punished or not.
Besides, judging from the appearance of this female official, even if she wanted to die, she would not be likely to confess if she continued to be tortured. In this case, you might as well give it a try yourself.
Extorting a confession through torture may not necessarily achieve the goal. Sometimes breaking her mental will may result in a more likely confession.
Han Du ignored Mao Xiang's eyes. If he tried to explain, he might be self-defeating. When he saw the result, his doubts disappeared.
Han Du looked at the female officer, pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Do you think that as long as you don't confess and fight everything by yourself, you can prevent me from finding out who is behind it?"
With a chuckle, Han Du shook his head and continued: "Do you believe that even if you don't tell me, I can find them?"
The female officer snorted, she didn't believe Han Du's words. In her opinion, Han Du is a human being and not a god, so why can he still pinch her? If Han Du could really figure it out, why would he still be talking nonsense to her here? If you have the ability, just go and arrest them.
In response to the female officer's sneer, Han Du curled his lips and said nothing.
Not only did the female officer not believe it, but even Mao Xiang looked at Han Du with wide eyes. It was obvious that he did not believe what Han Du said.
The reason is naturally the same as the female officer. If you really have this ability, wouldn't it be better to arrest people directly? Are you still working hard here?
Thinking that Han Du was boasting, Mao Xiang helped Han Du step down with some shame. "Ahem, Master Han, let's interrogate her first. As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later."
Han Du nodded slightly and did not continue to interrogate the female officer. Instead, he started chatting with Mao Xiang. "Although they say that there is nothing you can't ask for under three trees. But, Master Mao, does he know that there are still two kinds of people in this world, and it is useless to torture them to extract confessions?"
this?
Mao Xiang frowned. In his opinion, Han Du was talking nonsense. He had seen countless chaste and fierce women and tough men in his life, but once they came to him, none of them would turn into a puddle of mud in the end.
Torture to extract confessions was Mao Xiang's way of earning a living, but Han Du said it was flawed. How could this make Mao Xiang feel embarrassed?
Therefore, Mao Xiang frowned and looked at Han Du with some displeasure, wanting to see what he would say next.
Han Du suddenly came to his senses and knew that Mao Xiang had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "Master Mao, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions. But there are indeed two kinds of people, and torture to extract confessions is useless for them."
"Oh? Really? I would like to hear the details, what kind of person he is, and he has such ability." Mao Xiang didn't seem to care at all about what Han Du just said, and said with a pretending to be curious smile.
"One is a person with faith, and the other is a person with concerns." Han Du said directly without quarreling with Mao Xiang.
Mao Xiang frowned even more after hearing this. He understood that he was concerned, but what the hell is having faith? Mao Xiang shook his head and expressed that it was difficult to understand. He simply smiled and asked Han Du: "What is this belief?"
"Belief..." Han Du pondered for a moment and explained: "It's similar to people's belief in Buddhism and Taoism, but there are some differences. I wonder if Master Mao has ever heard of Mingjiao?"
Mingjiao? Is this some new sect? Is it the same as Taoism and Buddhism?
"I haven't heard of it. Where did Mr. Han hear about Mingjiao?" Mao Xiang was sure that he had never heard of the so-called Mingjiao, so he asked Han Du curiously.
never heard before?
Is there no Mingjiao in this world? Han Du was surprised to find that his perception seemed to be a little different from the world. Doesn’t it mean that Lao Zhu is a member of the Ming Cult?
"Sir, have you really never heard of it?" Han Du asked unwillingly.
Mao Xiang nodded affirmatively, "Really not. I have followed Your Majesty for so many years and I have never heard of the Ming Cult."
After hearing what Mao Xiang said, Han Du was not sure whether there was a Ming Cult or not. And although there are rumors that Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Mingjiao and was under the command of King Xiao Ming, it was he who killed King Xiao Ming to gain the rightful status and finally found the country and proclaimed himself emperor.
Originally, Han Du thought that as long as the Little Ming King existed in this world, there would be the Ming Cult. Now it seems that Xiao Mingwang and Mingjiao are not the same thing at all. Otherwise, Mao Xiang, as Lao Zhu's confidant, would not be unaware of Mingjiao. Therefore, Mingjiao is nothing more than the words of a novelist.
"Ahem, this is not important. Let's get down to business." Han Du smiled dryly, covering up his embarrassment.
Mao Xiang glanced at Han Du helplessly. He had never thought of talking about sects. It was obviously Han Du who brought it up himself, but now it seems that he has led Han Du astray.
Han Du set his sights on the female officer and thought to himself, since there is no Mingjiao, let's explain that this woman cannot be willing to die because of her faith. Then the only possibility left is that she is concerned in her heart. What kind of care can make a woman put life and death at risk?
Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong!
Han Du suddenly thought of this sentence and started to think about it. He turned to look at Mao Xiang and asked, "Sir, is there a doctor? Can you find one?"
Of course there is a doctor here. Even if Mao Xiang is not available, he can find one for Han Du in a short time.
Mao Xiang winked, and soon a doctor was brought in by Tong Ping.
"Little old man, I pay my respects to you, sir." The doctor was an old man, and he saluted Mao Xiang as soon as he came in.
Mao Xiang waved his hand and asked him to get up.
Han Du whispered a few words into the doctor's ear.
After hearing this, the doctor nodded and replied: "No problem, sir. As long as she has had it, the little old man can tell. I can also tell whether she has just had it or she has given birth."
At this time, the doctor still had two brushes.
Han Du nodded with satisfaction and said casually: "Go ahead."
The doctor nodded in greeting and walked towards the female officer.
"What are you doing?" Mao Xiang asked doubtfully.
Han Du sighed, feeling a little confused. I silently recited a sentence in my heart: Be as warm as spring to your friends, and be ruthless to your enemies as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. He said calmly: "Nothing, just to verify a guess. Whether it is yes or no, I will know soon."
Since he would know it soon, Mao Xiang stopped asking.
