Chapter 1525
You can tell from Zhang Hao's tone that he really cares about this matter and respects his teacher.
Therefore, Wei Wu did not interrupt, but simply sat aside and listened silently as Zhang Hao continued to explain.
“My teacher has been teaching me various skills over the past few years, but he has never mentioned to me that he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect.”
"He only told me about the White Lotus Sect on the day he died, and bluntly said that he wanted to get promoted and make money, so he sold the White Lotus Sect to the imperial court."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu finally understood why Zhang Hao had specifically explained this matter.
When you're at your lowest point and your future seems hopeless, having a teacher like that would earn you the deepest respect from anyone.
So after Zhang Hao finished speaking, Wei Wu stopped asking about his teacher and instead focused his attention on him.
"But instead of selling out the White Lotus Sect for wealth and glory, you took on the identity of the White Lotus Taoist and continued to cause trouble."
"Wealth and glory? Hahaha, wealth and glory? Is that even possible?"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhang Hao reacted as if he had heard something amusing and immediately questioned him.
Before Wei Wu could speak, he preemptively spoke first:
"The entire Embroidered Uniform Guard is ostracizing me. Even Mao Xiang doesn't care. Even if I make a contribution, can the credit be attributed to me?"
"Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has been opposing you for years. Three of the Four Great Dharma Kings died at your hands, and your largest branch was wiped out."
"They've become a power in name only. Even if I sell them to the imperial court, the beneficiaries will be others, not me!"
Although they were enemies, Wei Wu had to admit that Zhang Hao was right; if he were in Zhang Hao's shoes, he would have thought the same.
So after Zhang Hao finished speaking, he took over the conversation.
"So you chose to take control of the White Lotus Sect, and with your identity as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you can do even more things by working together from the inside and outside."
"In that case, wouldn't it be better for you to just hide yourself? Why get involved with those people in the money exchange case and create trouble for yourself for nothing?"
"You should understand my importance better than anyone else. If something happens to me, His Majesty's thorough investigation of the murderer could turn the entire capital upside down."
Zhang Hao had previously stated that the person who attacked Wei Wu with firearms was someone he had sent out, and that person was with Guo Huan.
To be honest, if Zhang Hao hadn't told the truth himself, Wei Wu would still have believed that the assassin was someone arranged by Yao Guangxiao.
So he was puzzled as to why Zhang Hao would risk getting involved in something that would only bring him trouble and offer no benefit whatsoever.
What Zhang Hao said next gave him an answer.
“I didn’t originally intend to get involved in this, but one day Yao Guangxiao came to my door and directly revealed my identity.”
He bluntly stated that he had a plan to destroy the Ming Dynasty and at the same time help me get revenge and kill you, provided that I cooperate with him.
"If I cooperate, everyone will be happy, but if I don't cooperate, he will reveal that I am the White Lotus Taoist."
Hearing this, Wei Wu felt helpless. He never expected that the root of the problem was still that scourge Yao Guangxiao!
With Zhang Hao's cooperation, Wei Wu found out everything he wanted to know with very little effort.
After that, Wei Wu obtained detailed information about the White Lotus Sect from Zhang Hao.
For example, information such as who the remaining members of the White Lotus Sect are, what their names are, and where they are hiding.
Knowing his ultimate fate, Zhang Hao appeared very calm and did not hide anything from Wei Wu.
He would tell Wei Wu almost anything he knew, as long as Wei Wu asked him.
After asking all the necessary questions, Wei Wu looked at Zhang Hao and said solemnly:
