Knowing that Ye Xuwen was from the White Lotus Society from the Modong case, he would naturally not let them go. He continued to investigate, which led to many cases related to the White Lotus Society reported by various provinces and cities. Almost all of them were cases where a woman in white seduced the male owner, which eventually led to the destruction of the family, and the woman took away the family property.
The matter became more and more involved, and Ye Xiuwen immediately reported the seriousness of the case to Yan Su. Yan Su, who had just learned about this matter, was informed by Feng Wenzhao that the White Lotus Sect was suspected of controlling the ministers in the court, and the case became even more serious.
He also learned that Fengming and his men had captured Bai Wanshuang, a member of the White Lotus Sect, and had designed to lure other White Lotus members to the capital in three days. He immediately suspended the investigation of most cases in the Ministry of Justice and concentrated manpower on capturing the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.
Sure enough, three days later, early in the morning, a group of outsiders entered the capital.
I don’t know if this group of outsiders are stupid or they feel that their sect is not low-key enough. They are all wearing white clothes. Anyone who knows about the White Lotus Sect can tell that these people are from the White Lotus Sect.
This group of White Lotus Sect members had no idea how to keep a low profile and marched to the Wuwei General's Mansion in a mighty manner, where they were successfully apprehended. The elder Huiye, who had mastered the skillful plastic surgery skills, was the biggest gain this time.
Who could have thought that Hui Ye was actually a short, fat, black and blind man, and that a plastic surgeon was actually blind? Feng Ming was also shocked when he learned about this later. This was simply a replica of Sikong Zhuixing from Longmen Escort Agency!
The face-changing technique that Bai Wanshuang praised as miraculous is actually just making a human skin mask.
This Huiye was extremely afraid of death and timid. After being tortured a little, he confessed without waiting for any questions to be asked, the names of all the officials he knew who had had human skin masks made by him.
Although they are all low-level officials and patrolling city defense soldiers, they involve all aspects of the capital. Once these people start to make trouble, it is easy to cause trouble.
Through Hui Ye, the Ministry of Justice also uncovered a large number of names of concubines or mistresses hiding in the mansions of various ministers. There were also names of maids, but Hui Ye was proud of his status as an elder and was too disdainful to find out the names of the maids' spies.
This group of concubines is also the biggest problem encountered by the Ministry of Justice during the investigation, because these concubines are not all at the grassroots level!
Those who can be sent to be concubines and lovers all have special abilities, either good looks, good figures, talents, or skills...
Anyway, these people are all favored by the ministers. When the people from the Ministry of Justice come to their homes, they will say that your concubine No. x is suspected of being involved in cult activities and must come with them. The wives of the ministers are so happy that they want to tie up the concubines and hand them over to the yamen soldiers immediately, but the ministers themselves don't want to do it.
It is better for lower-level officials. After reasonable explanations, they will be understanding or hand over the concubines out of pressure from the situation.
However, among these ministers there were also several second and third rank officials. The most important one was a Vice Minister of Rites, who was at the same level as the Vice Minister of Justice. He wanted to find Yan Su to argue with him on the spot.
In the end, it was Yan Su who arrived and took away the seventh concubine who had been kept by the Minister of Rites for only three months.
After Fengming recovered, he visited these professional mistresses with admiration, especially Xiaoqi, the Minister of Rites, who was really beautiful with a great figure.
It was said that she was once the most popular courtesan in the capital's fourth-largest brothel, Xunfang Pavilion, and a skilled pipa player. If she were to live in modern times, she would have been a top actress, a film star, and a music star. Unfortunately, she ended up being the seventh concubine of an old and ugly Minister of Rites.
This Xiaoqi was actually not trained by the White Lotus Sect. She was also one of the victims targeted by the White Lotus Sect. She had originally fallen in love with a scholar who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. They agreed that once the scholar passed the examination, he would redeem her and marry her.
Unexpectedly, the White Lotus Sect was eager to place spies in the palaces of high-ranking officials, but their own sect was full of unskilled people, and the high-ranking officials looked down on them. So they threatened Xiao Qi with the scholar's life and forced her to become the concubine of the Minister of Rites and pass on information for them.
Fengming felt sorry for Xiaoqi, and the scholar also expressed his sympathy for Xiaoqi's experience and did not care about her past. The two finally achieved a good marriage.
But that's all a story for later. After this group of concubines were captured and interrogated, it was discovered that fortunately, these ministers in the court had not been replaced by someone else. What Bai Wanshuang said about control was nothing more than using her beauty to trick information out of these ministers.
The White Lotus Sect has truly demonstrated the skill of "men control the world, women control men" to the fullest!
