Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1524

Although Zhang Hao spoke very softly to himself, Wei Wu still heard him because the surrounding space was small.

Looking at Zhang Hao, who was tied to a wooden frame and whose limbs were completely bound with cow tendons, Wei Wu slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Then, in a casual tone, he said to Zhang Hao:

"Is this your first time visiting the Imperial Prison as a prisoner? Is there anything you'd like to say?"

"What do I want to say? There's nothing to say. It's all about the winner taking all, and this is what happens to the losers."

Zhang Hao responded in a very calm tone, as if he didn't care at all that he was a prisoner.

Upon hearing his answer, Wei Wu slowly nodded in agreement.

“That makes sense. It’s always been the case that the victor is king and the loser is villain. But you don’t have anything to say, but I do have some questions.”

Zhang Hao looked at Wei Wu and said calmly:

"Ask whatever you want! I have nothing to hide."

"So happy?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu glanced at him with some surprise.

Before this, Wei Wu had imagined many possible reactions from Zhang Hao: rage, silence, madness, but he never expected him to be so calm.

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, responded in the same calm tone after Wei Wu finished speaking.

“I know the methods of the Embroidered Uniform Guard better than anyone else, not to mention you. The methods you possess are even more unpredictable than those of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.”

"I am certain to die for the crimes I have committed, and there is no way out for me. Since that is the case, why should I suffer torture before I die?"

It must be said that Zhang Hao, being a former member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was indeed different from other prisoners in this respect.

When ordinary people are arrested and imprisoned, they may still harbor a sliver of hope, thinking that as long as they don't confess, they still have a chance.

But Zhang Hao understood that without confessing, there would only be endless torture, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards had special methods to keep him alive.

The methods of torture can be so precise that they can keep a person alive until they are driven insane by the cruelty.

So after answering Wei Wu's question, Zhang Hao went straight to asking.

"What do you want to ask me? Do you want to ask me why I wanted to kill you?"

Seeing that Zhang Hao had been so direct, Wei Wu smiled slightly and said:

"No, you've already explained that clearly. What I want to ask is, how did you become the leader of the White Lotus Sect?"

"It's very simple. My teacher was the previous leader of the White Lotus Cult. The White Lotus Cult doesn't select successors from within. It's that simple."

Zhang Hao was very frank, and immediately gave an answer after Wei Wu asked the question.

After hearing Zhang Hao's answer, Wei Wu nodded slowly, and then asked another question.

"Is it the teacher who taught you onomatopoeia techniques at your house back then?"

Zhang Hao wasn't surprised at all that Wei Wu knew about his past, since his identity had already been exposed.

Given the capabilities of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, unless he can eliminate all his neighbors back home, leaving no one alive, it would be impossible.

Otherwise, if the Embroidered Uniform Guard wanted to investigate, they could easily find out everything about his past.

So after Wei Wu asked, Zhang Hao nodded frankly in agreement, and then he heard Wei Wu ask again.

"Was it your teacher who wanted you to take over the White Lotus Sect so that he could use your identity as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to keep a close eye on the court's decisions?"

"it's not true."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's speculation about his teacher, Zhang Hao's previously calm emotions were disturbed for the first time.

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, he immediately denied it, and then, under Wei Wu's gaze, he slowly explained:

"Since you dealt a heavy blow to the White Lotus Sect, it has practically become defunct, with only a few die-hard followers remaining."

"The White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses, and the teacher is too old to waste any more time on this, so he came to me."

"My teacher only wanted to pass on his skills to someone, not to use my identity to continue opposing the imperial court."
