When Shu Li and Le Yan came over, Qizhen's face was pale, his hands were tied together with a piece of clothing, and he was hanging from the beam of the cell.
"What are you doing?" Shu Li was frightened and raised her eyebrows.
Li Zhi was sitting on a chair nearby. When he heard the sound and turned around, there was still murderous intent in his eyes.
He looked at Shu Li, and the raised corners of his mouth added a lot of evil energy to his whole person.
"The kid wants to ask a few questions, so I can help you."
Long Guo glanced at him when he heard this, but nodded directly: "Yes, if you ask him something, he won't cooperate."
"Then, what's the question?"
Long Guo was obviously confused by the question, but Li Zhi didn't even look at him, and the atmosphere between the two of them was particularly strange.
"Asked..." Long Guo stumbled, but seemed to think of something and his eyes lit up: "He has bad intentions."
"..." Shu Li tried her best to smile: "Then..."
"Isn't he the deputy general who defended the city in the Qi Dynasty? But he has been stealing food and military pay, and he has also plundered the wealth of wealthy merchants in the city on the pretext of resisting the enemy countless times."
"Recently, people from the Yan Dynasty discovered this incident and used it as a handle to manipulate him and threaten him with treason. But Vice Admiral Qi was unwilling, so he wanted to design an accident to achieve military exploits and try to offset the merits and demerits."
"Unlike us, he knows that Brother Shen has information about the treasure, so he is most suspicious of taking action."
This information is not necessarily false, but it is definitely true that Li Zhi and Long Guo have secrets that cannot be revealed.
Shu Li didn't mean to ask further, and then told her what she found.
They quickly searched a piece of land as big as a palm. After briefly checking the information, they went to search the remaining rooms.
Qizhen looked embarrassed, but did not make any noise, which made Shu Li and Le Yan a little strange.
At this time, Shuli and Leyan looked at each other. When they saw each other's expressions, Shuli's thoughts returned to just now.
The conversation between her and Le Yan in the house just now should be similar to the current reactions of Li Zhi and Long Guo.
In the copy of Leyan Longguo, there is also Qizhen.
According to Le Yan, from the moment he entered the dungeon, Long Guo entered a situation that was carefully laid out just for him.
Not only was he injured, but all his memories were recalled.
Re-experience the pain of losing my brother, and then be dragged here inexplicably, and be involved in the punishment space, and then lose his memory. After meeting his brother, whose face and voice are the same as before, he has undergone a huge change. Being cared for like a fool, but still refusing to tell the truth.
When Le Yan said this, he asked Shu Li a question.
She asked, if Shuli was a dragon fruit, would he want all the truth to be concealed from him and play the role of a troublemaker like a fool?
How did Shuli answer her?
Shu Li said that first of all, there are no ifs, and secondly, everyone has different personalities.
Maybe at Long Guo's age, he would think it's cool to share responsibilities, at least he wouldn't be a complete drag.
But if you look at it from Li Zhi's perspective, there's nothing wrong in not wanting to put his long-suffering brother in danger.
Shu Li finally said that there was no need for ifs, she and Long Guo had the same experience.
It's just that she entered a situation from the beginning and has lost all rights to choose since then.
From the beginning to now, every choice she makes seems to be free, but in fact it is pushed and even controlled by a pair of hands behind the scenes.
After a long silence, Shu Li asked her: "What about you? Why did you get in touch with Qizhen again?"
Shu Li originally thought she would get a sincere answer, but Le Yan just answered her perfunctorily: "Don't blame me. I have no choice, just like you."
Then their conversation ended.
Shu Li came back to her senses and looked at Li Zhi with an inquiring gaze.
He and Long Guo should be in a situation where both of them already knew the truth, but why was Li Zhi stronger than Long Guo in the weird atmosphere between the two? And the one who obviously had a guilty conscience and made a mistake was also Long Guo?
This is what Shuli is curious about.
But now was not the best time to ask. They sat together again and put together all the important evidence they had collected to explore.
The individual identity is now as follows:
Li Zhi and Long Guo are two brothers who are master thieves. They came here for money. First, they came to see Feng Yue dressed in luxurious clothes and wanted to rob him.
Secondly, after entering the city, he received money to follow Feng Yue and look for opportunities to seize the secret treasure.
The person they wanted to kill was not necessarily Brother Shen, and it might have been an accidental injury, but no toxins related to Begonia on the chest were found in their room.
Leyan's identity is Feng Yue, the young patriarch of the Yue Clan.
The secret treasure she said was true, but the rumors were false.
They came for revenge. It was precisely because the two countries were greedy for the secret treasure that their families were destroyed. No one should be willing to hand over the secret treasure.
Le Yan's reason for taking action against Brother Shen was even simpler. She had long discovered that the box had been tampered with.
Le Yan noticed that Brother Shen had followed her several times, and Brother Shen also came to the house on the night the secret treasure was lost, so it was very likely that he took the secret treasure away.
Brother Shen's true identity is a spy of the Yan Dynasty. In order to successfully capture the powerful Qi Dynasty, they came up with countless ways. Let people from your own country infiltrate it, and Brother Shen's identity as a spy is one of them.
And if Brother Shen's plan succeeds, then Leyan's revenge plan will fail.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Le Yan would take action against him when it was possible that Brother Shen had taken away the secret treasure.
Then came Qizhen. As a deputy general in the city, maybe it was because he had already suspected Brother Shen before, or maybe he just wanted to find someone to blame, but he didn't expect that the person he found was indeed a spy.
This was his motive for killing, either he knew the truth or he just wanted to take the blame.
Then there was Shu Li herself.
Judging from what she knew about herself, she did not kill Brother Shen's wife.
And all the evidence about her shows that she is just a shield, or even just a layer of shading cloth that Emperor Qi Chao puts on his secret guards.
Judging from the dungeon setting, she doesn't need to do anything herself.
But now her reasons have been uncovered.
The princess was not willing to be a chess piece, at least unwilling to experience this narrow escape, so she hated the emperor and the prince who asked her to come.
It was true that she wanted to find the secret treasure, but at the same time she also wanted to get it herself so that she could have the right to talk to the emperor and the prince on an equal footing.
So she would go to Fengyue's residence by herself, and after learning that Brother Shen might have taken away the secret treasure, she would decisively attack him.
