Chang Jiu and his team had previously captured a spy at Yunyan Pavilion who was exchanging information with a Li Dan person who had disguised himself and sneaked into the capital.
This person is none other than "Miss Liu" from Yunyan Pavilion.
Chang Jiu and the others initially thought that the person behind the scenes wouldn't be so stupid as to openly hire a prostitute to act as a spy.
But what if this prostitute is a woman who entertains customers during the day, but a man at night?
That's right, "Miss Liu" was a man in disguise.
After capturing the person, Chang Jiu and his men did not interrogate him immediately, but detained him for a while before interrogating him.
This "Miss Liu" has a strong and unyielding personality. No matter how heavy the torture instruments they use, she refuses to reveal who her master is. According to the prince, if they can't pry her mouth open, they should just kill her.
However, Yuan Qing happened to learn of this matter at this time and made a request to personally interrogate "Miss Liu".
Chang Jiu and Luo Feng knew that Yuan Qing was also working for the prince, and they had no way to deal with this man surnamed Liu, so they simply handed over the interrogation task to Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing may seem carefree and like a spoiled brat, but his interrogation skills can be described as cold-blooded and ruthless.
When "Miss Liu" came into Yuan Qing's hands, Yuan Qing was in no hurry to interrogate her. Instead, he ordered people to investigate her true identity and who else was in her family.
"Miss Liu's" real name is Liu Zhilin. His family all perished in a fire, leaving only him and his young sister.
After agreeing to work for his master, Liu Zhilin hid his sister. He knew that what he was doing might bring trouble to his sister, so he always told the outside world that he was alone. In order to conceal his identity, he even dressed up as a woman.
The men trained by Yuan Qing quickly located the hiding place of the Liu family's younger sister and then took her to the dungeon.
The younger sister of the Liu family was terrified and burst into tears upon seeing her brother. Yuan Qing, on the other hand, still wore a gentle and refined smile, perfectly embodying the "smiling tiger" trope.
He clapped his hands and said, "What a touching scene of deep brotherly and sisterly affection."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhilin immediately glared at him angrily. If his hands and feet hadn't been tied to the wooden frame, he probably would have pounced on him and started hitting him.
Yuan Qing smiled calmly, not caring about his attitude at all: "I also have a younger sister, not much older than yours, so it would be a pity if such a beautiful young girl died."
Liu Zhilin shouted hoarsely, "Don't touch her!"
"I won't touch her, after all, your sister's life is in your hands."
Liu Zhilin glanced at his sister, who was crying her eyes out, then thought of his savior, closed his eyes in anguish, and said in a deep voice, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."
Chang Jiu and Luo Feng were speechless when they learned how Yuan Qing had forced them to reveal the person behind the scenes.
They are soldiers who, from the day they put on this armor, have shouldered the responsibility of protecting the people of Japan, so they would never do anything like threatening prisoners with their families.
Yuan Qing, however, was different. He only held a sinecure and had witnessed many of the sordid affairs in the inner quarters, so his methods were naturally more ruthless.
But as long as there is a result, does it matter what methods are used in the process?
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did you find out?"
Yuan Qing held his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Liu Zhilin is just a small pawn; the real player isn't the Lord Huang he claims to be."
"Lord Huang? Which Lord Huang?"
Yuan Qing: "Grand Commandant Huang."
Luo Feng and Chang Jiu exchanged bewildered glances. Grand Marshal Huang had always been a staunch royalist, never taking sides. Why would he suddenly...?
Yuan Qing smiled calmly and said, "On the surface, they support the Emperor, but who their true master is remains to be seen."
