The Yiluan Division is mainly responsible for guarding the emperor and displaying his majesty. But secretly they also serve as the emperor's eyes and ears, and handle some dirty things for the emperor.
The commander of Yiluan Division, Mao Xiang.
Originally, Lao Zhu wanted to change Yiluansi into Jinyiwei, but he was blocked by Han Du because it would cost too much.
However, before Lao Zhu wanted to change Yiluan Si to Jinyiwei, Yiluansi already had many places that Jinyiwei should have, such as the Yiluansi secret prison that he wanted to change into Jinyiwei's prison.
The secret prison, which had just been built and was originally thought to be abandoned, welcomed its first batch of guests today.
Dozens of people, men and women, old and young, with shackles on their hands and shackles on their feet, were closely guarded and looked haggard, and were taken to prisons respectively.
Mao Xiang stood at the door of the secret cell, his eyes like an eagle's gaze, staring closely at everyone who passed by.
A young man lowered his head and was about to walk past Mao Xiang step by step when he was suddenly grabbed by Mao Xiang.
Mao Xiang's face was as dark as water, and he looked at the young man with cold eyes, "Fang Benzhai?"
"Ah~"
Seeing the young man's reaction, Mao Xiang smiled, as happy as a child.
Han Du didn't expect to catch Fang Benzhai. Everything in the world is just such a coincidence. Moreover, Han Du had only heard of Fang Benzhai's name, but had never seen him before, so he didn't know him at all. Furthermore, these people were, after all, related to the murder of Huang's grandson and the poisoning of Cao Guogong. Han Du did not want to get too involved in these matters, so he did not carefully interrogate the identities of these people. I thought that after returning to Beijing, I would throw them all to Lao Zhu for interrogation.
But Mao Xiang was different. Although he had never seen Fang Benzhai with his own eyes, he had seen Fang Benzhai's portrait countless times since Zhu Xiongying was killed. He even kept Fang Benzhai's expression firmly in mind.
When he saw this young man just now, Mao Xiang suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. After some subconscious testing, it turned out to be him.
"Keep him in solitary confinement and don't allow anyone to come near. I will enter the palace immediately."
"Yes, sir."
Mao Xiang hurried to see Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty, good news, Han Du has captured Fang Benzhai."
"Fang Benzhai?" Lao Zhu suddenly came back to his senses and asked who it was with his eyes widened: "Why doesn't Han Du retaliate?"
Mao Xiang was suddenly asked, hesitated for a moment, and decided to say a good word for Han Du, "Maybe Jing Haibo doesn't know him at all. After all, catching Fang Benzhai is a great achievement. If Jing Haibo knew about it, he wouldn't have done anything wrong." Report to the Emperor."
Lao Zhu lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that this was the truth. After all, who would think that he had too much credit?
"Excuse me, I want to interrogate him personally." Lao Zhu put aside the trivial matters that Han Du had not reported and prepared to go see Fang Benzhai first.
Fang Benzhai was directly related to Zhu Xiongying's death. Lao Zhu urgently wanted to know why Fang Benzhai and the others wanted to murder Zhu Xiongying.
In a dirty cell, Lao Zhu met Fang Benzhai.
When Fang Benzhai saw Lao Zhu, he naturally knew that the emperor was coming. But he did not bow to the emperor when he saw him like he did in the East Palace. Instead, he looked like a rogue and didn't mind the dirt on the ground, so he just sat on the ground.
"Be brave, don't kneel before the emperor, do you want to die?" Mao Xiang shouted loudly, and he was about to attack Fang Benzhai in anger, but Lao Zhu waved his hand to stop him.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Lao Zhu looked at Fang Benzhai with some doubts.
A trace of fear flashed in Fang Benzhai's eyes. He didn't know that if he fell into Daming's hands, he would have no chance of survival and would die miserably. It's not that he has never thought of committing suicide, but firstly, he really couldn't muster the courage to commit suicide. Secondly, they were guarded very closely by Han Du and there was no chance at all.
"Do I still have a way to survive?"
Lao Zhu fell silent immediately.
A trace of embarrassment also flashed across Mao Xiang's face.
Naturally, Fang Benzhai had no chance of surviving. No matter what he did, he would be dead.
"Tell me, why did you attack a child?" Lao Zhu thought of Zhu Xiongying's eyes being slightly red, and the pain from the past came to mind again, and he stared at Fang Benzhai hatefully.
But no matter how full of hatred Lao Zhu was, he still endured it because he wanted to know the reason.
Fang Benzhai smiled and said nothing.
When Lao Zhu saw this, he chuckled and said, "Let him tell you everything he knows. Don't worry, I can wait."
After saying that, Lao Zhu waved his sleeves and left without looking back.
Fang Benzhai couldn't help but panic when he saw the emperor leaving so decisively without any hesitation. He originally wanted to rely on this news to gain a chance of survival, but he did not expect that the emperor would leave without hesitation. Doesn't he want to know this news? Doesn't he want to know how his direct grandson died?
With a handsome smile on his face, Mao Xiang suddenly turned to Fang Benzhai and said to him calmly: "Don't worry, since the emperor has said there is no rush, let's take it slow. Do you know that this general is attracted by you Ningren people?" The disgusting maggots are so painful. I almost, just a little bit, lost my life. You'd better hold on and don't say anything."
For some reason, when Fang Benzhai saw Mao Xiang's face, a deep cold suddenly broke out in his heart, freezing to the bone.
Only half a day later, Mao Xiang came to Lao Zhu with a stack of confessions. "Your Majesty, he's done it all."
Lao Zhu took the confession and did not read it immediately. Instead, he looked at Mao Xiang coldly and asked: "It took less than half a day to get the confession so quickly. Are you sure he has confessed everything?"
Mao Xiang smiled bitterly, "I thought it was too easy, so I asked him a few more times to make sure it was correct. This dog looks tough, but in fact he is as soft as a snot in his bones. I just let him look at it once." The instrument of torture scared him so much that he wet his pants, and when tortured, he would ask and answer questions.”
Fang Benzhai acted like a tough guy in front of the emperor, but who knew that he was just pretending. Mao Xiang originally wanted to use all kinds of skills on him, but he didn't expect that he would confess so easily.
This made Mao Xiang feel quite sorry, but it was okay. If he confessed, couldn't he continue to be tortured?
Lao Zhu looked at the confession with suspicion, and suddenly became furious, "Is this the reason why they attacked Xiongying?"
Mao Xiang suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his head. He quickly lowered his head and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I confirmed it repeatedly. According to Fang Benzhai, the reason he was given was the reason given to him. Specifically. He doesn't know if there is a deeper reason for this."
Lao Zhu looked at the confession with a solemn expression. Just because the hero has the appearance of a wise master, he wants to get rid of him? No matter how you look at it, this is a bit too childish.
