It is hard for people to believe that a poor scholar who comes from a poor family and makes a living by teaching is actually the actual controller behind Yuehua Tower.

Under the instructions of the poor scholar, the steward of Yuehua Tower rejected Xu Yuanji's request and used some of Xu Yuanji's excuses to threaten him. If he dared to disobey, he would be asked to wait to be demoted.

After confirming the identity of the poor scholar, Qin Hao ordered the arrests, and asked Cui Zhi to arrest everyone from the Yuehua Building overnight. They were all detained in the water prison of the Jinling Navy, and the guards were all replaced by the Mingzhou Navy.

The soldiers of the division.

After nightfall, Qin Hao interrogated the poor scholar.

In the water prison, the poor scholar cursed and cursed in the same way, looking like a poor man who didn't know how to adapt.

Two soldiers lifted him up with him in the middle and carried him to an interrogation room. What surprised the poor scholar was that there were no torture instruments in this interrogation room, which made him a little confused.

Suddenly, the iron door of the interrogation room was pushed open.

"Master Hou."

The soldiers saluted one after another.

Qin Hao waved his hand with a cheerful face, motioning for them to go down, and then sat down opposite the poor scholar, looking at the poor scholar curiously.

The poor scholar recognized Qin Hao's identity at a glance: "Master Hou, why do you treat a scholar like this?"

Qin Hao smiled nonchalantly: "Do you recognize me?"

"Who knows about Marquis Jinghai, who is famous all over the world?" the poor scholar said calmly.

"I don't know what the Marquis is talking about." The poor scholar's pupils shrank obviously.

Qin Hao winked at Cui Zhi, who was beside him. Cui Zhi opened the door and went out. Almost five minutes later, a bloody middle-aged man was dragged in.

The poor scholar's hands were trembling slightly. Qin Hao smiled playfully and said, "It seems that Lu Xiucai recognizes this person?"

"I don't know." Lu Xiucai said calmly.

Qin Hao winked at Cui Zhi again. Cui Zhi waved his hand, and the two soldiers threw the man to the ground. The man groaned in pain, but he didn't even have the strength to turn over.

"What about you? I'll give you one last chance. Let me tell you the truth. The people from the Imperial City Division are already on their way. You should be very clear about their methods. Once they fall into their hands, even if they skin and bones, they will definitely do it.

I will ask you to tell the truth, but instead of doing this, it is better to confess as soon as possible to avoid some physical pain." Qin Hao persuaded.

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, but his eyes were not as firm as his actions.

Qin Hao sighed softly and waved his hand towards Cui Zhi: "Drag him down, greet him well, tell the doctor, don't let him die easily, oh, why do you think some people always think that their bones are harder than torture tools? You have to force it.

I, a scholar, do such cruel things."

Lu Xiucai gritted his teeth and said, "Are you worthy of being called a scholar?"

Qin Hao smiled lightly at him: "You, a scholar, dare to call yourself a scholar. I have won three yuan in a row and topped the gold list. Why don't you deserve it?"

"Bah, you just relied on your family to win the favor of the examiners. The officials just wanted to improve their own reputation, so they selected you as the number one scholar..."

Before Lu Xiucai finished speaking, Qin Hao interrupted: "That's better than you, a poor scholar who can't even pass the examination!"

In fact, people like Lu Xiucai were also very common in ancient times. They had low IQ, thought they had worked very hard, but always failed the exam, so they became cynical and went to extremes. Such people are also the most likely to be absorbed and exploited by cults.

"You..." Lu Xiucai was so angry that his eyes were red.

Qin Hao continued to stimulate him: "You knew that there was no hope in the scientific examination, so you became a disciple of Manichaeism, hoping that one day you could overthrow the Song Dynasty, become a founding hero, and have a wife and a lovely son."

"But have you ever thought about how many innocent people will be displaced once the Manichaeans launch a so-called uprising? How many people will have their families destroyed?"

"Zuo Zhuan·Xiang Gong said: Your Majesty has established virtues, followed by meritorious service, and thirdly established words. Although it has not been abolished for a long time, this is called immortality. Originally, you were able to pass the exam to become a scholar, which has surpassed many ordinary people. Even if you cannot pass the exam to be a civil servant

, Jinshi, being a teacher can also teach and educate people. In the future, there may be children you enlighten, and it can be regarded as a blessing."

"But you are trying to stir up chaos in the world with your own selfish desires, disregarding the wealth and lives of the people, and yet you dare to say that you are a scholar! If Master Kong Sheng knew that he had a disciple like you, he would be so ashamed that he would jump out of the graveyard and die again!

"

Lu Xiucai almost couldn't breathe, his whole psychological defense collapsed completely, he roared: "Shut up, stop talking!"

Qin Hao felt a little thirsty as he spoke, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"Tell me how you came into contact with Manichaeism!"

Lu Xiucai's originally ferocious face turned calm instantly, and he muttered: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Qin Hao smiled and shook his head: "I really can't shed tears until I see the coffin. Do you think it's your own bones that are stronger, or that person just now? Because you are a scholar, I have given you the treatment you deserve. If

You don't know how to lift, so I have to teach you to the Imperial City Secretary, I think they will be very interested in your body structure."

"I heard that an adult man has a total of 206 bones in his body. I don't know if it's true or not. Maybe I can find the answer from you."

"Of course, you can also try biting your tongue to commit suicide, but I personally feel that this method is not very reliable. Apart from shortening your tongue, it will not cause death. It is just an extra torture for yourself."

Lu Xiucai's teeth chattered and he stared at Qin Hao with fear: "You evil ghost!"

Qin Hao showed an indifferent smile: "Maybe, from your point of view, yes."

"Okay, one last chance, tell me everything you know about Manichaeism."

After Lu Xiucai hesitated for a moment, Qin Hao waved to the soldiers, and Lu Xiucai quickly said: "Give me a cup of tea."

Qin Hao said to Cui Zhi.
