"General Shen..." A trace of panic flashed in Duan Xinghu's eyes, and his breath became unstable, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled at Shen Cha, "General Shen Chen... what do you mean? I don't understand."
"Don't you understand?" Shen Cha had a sneer on his lips, "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
"Young one, I really don't understand." Duan Xinghu swallowed his saliva, "Didn't the general just say that my eldest brother has passed away?"
"Really? The eldest brother is deceased. As the younger brother, why don't you feel the slightest bit of sadness?"
Shen Cha held the whip and walked slowly in front of Duan Xinghu, looked him up and down, winked at Ying Shishi, who nodded and tore off Duan Xinghu's shirt.
"As far as I know, when Mr. Duan was born, he had a camellia on his back. No matter what method he uses, it can't be removed." Shen Cha raised his chin and said to Ying Shishi, "Turn him around."
"Yes." Ying Shiwu didn't untie Duan Xinghu's shackles, just left him hanging like this, and turned him around. "Boss, yes."
Even if Ying Shiwu didn't say anything, everyone present saw that there was a blooming camellia on Duan Xinghu's upper back, which was covered with whip marks.
"Innate and indelible..." Xue Ruitian leaned over and took a look, "Mr. Duan, is it true that it can't be eliminated? Do you want us to help you find a way?"
"You...how do you know?"
"It's hard for me to imagine that such a stupid question would be asked from Mr. Duan, who is known as the Duan family's most resourceful person. When you were born, it caused a sensation in the whole of Dali. The Duan royal family also publicized it, and we also have a faction in Daxia. It is not difficult for the envoys to Dali to know this."
"That seems to be the case. This... I was indeed careless."
"Every time you are careful, there will always be something you can't think about." Shen Cha gestured towards Ying Shishi, asking him to turn him back, "Mr. Duan, you have exposed too many flaws, even if We didn’t know that the camellia behind you would notice something was wrong with you.”
"They all say that the Shen family is full of talented people and is one of the best. I still don't believe it. Now...I believe it. Not only do I believe it, but I also believe it." Duan Xinghu...no, it should be Duan Xinglong breathed a long sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that I They consciously disguise themselves very well, and they..." Duan Xinglong looked at his brothers, "They didn't even notice it, but you actually discovered it."
"Mr. Duan thinks too highly of himself. Your disguise is really not worth mentioning in our eyes." Xue Ruitian waved his hand, took Shen Cha's arm and walked back, pressing her into a chair and sitting down, "You just started Your state is indeed that of Duan Xinghu, but as time goes by and you talk more and more, you start to forget about it."
"Really? I don't think so."
"You didn't notice it because you don't know yourself very well. Since you want to pretend to be Duan Xinghu, you should know that a child like him will either develop a submissive person or become a scheming person. A serious person. However, with a resourceful person like Mr. Duan, how could he allow his concubine brother to weigh on him? Therefore, if my guess is correct, your younger brother Duan Xinghu should be a only Duan People who follow life first, right?”
"……right!"
"Then here's the problem. A submissive person must be poor at words and cannot talk as eloquently as Mr. Duan showed before." Jin Jing also came over and added, "The set just now was so detailed, clear and impeccable. His confession is not something that someone like Duan Xinghu can say. Being famous is worse than seeing him. When he met him today, Jin admired Mr. Duan’s talent."
"The military advisor has given me a reward. I'm just seeking truth from facts."
"Seeking truth from facts?" Jin Jing sneered, "This word is really ironic coming from Mr. Duan's mouth!" He handed Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian a cup of hot tea, "Mr. Duan's mouth is capable of confusing right and wrong. But that’s not a small thing! Mr. Duan is the only one in the world who can pin the identities of the victims of the Feng family and the Escort Agency on himself, right? Of course, there was no relationship between you, the Feng family, and the Escort Agency back then. It is impossible to verify what happened. After all, except for you, everyone present is dead. No matter what you say, no one will refute it." He spread his hands and said, "But It doesn't matter, we have caught you, and we can close the case. As for the grievances you had with the Feng family and the escort agency back then, you can continue it when it comes down to it."
"So that's what happened." Duan Xinglong nodded, "I admire it, I admire it!"
"However, I still have a question." Shen Cha put down the tea cup in his hand, "Did you brothers exchange each other's identities from the beginning, or did you force him because you wanted him to help take the blame..."
"I came up with the idea of exchanging identities, and it was approved by my king. From the moment we set off from Dali, I am Duan Xinghu, and Duan Xinghu is Duan Xinglong. It is useless for Xinghu to resist. If he does not agree, he is disobeying the king's order. He is not a cat. He has nine lives to squander. Even if he is not happy, he can only agree. Besides..." Duan Xinglong sighed, "He can't do the work of charging into battle, and I don't want him to take this risk. .”
"You... have a good relationship?"
"Two half-brothers were not born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. How many of you have seen them who look so similar?" Duan Xinglong smiled bitterly, "Although what I said before is a common situation of the Duan family, But in my family, we would not do such things as treating a bastard harshly, and we would not bother to do it. For Ahu, I feel more sorry and distressed." He looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and the others, " My younger brother is too honest, doesn't like talking, and doesn't like wielding swords or guns. When others scold him, he doesn't know how to speak slowly, and when others beat him, he doesn't know how to fight back."
"You are here to be a spy. If you take him with you, aren't you afraid that he will hold you back?"
"His mother always felt that he was not worthy of publicity, and she always beat and scolded him. He asked me to bring him to Jiaping Pass, otherwise he would not agree to exchange identities with me." Duan Xinglong sighed heavily, "This child has a very stubborn temper. Although, as you said, he always listens to me and does whatever I say, but once he makes a decision, let alone eight horses and eighty cows. He can't be pulled away. Including dying on my behalf this time, it was his own idea, and he didn't care whether I agreed or not."
Shen Cha stood up and looked at the dejected Duan Xinglong for a while, then turned around and chatted with Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian, and Jin Jing for a few words, and then raised his fingers at Ying 5 and Ying 15.
"Put Duan Xinglong and the others in death row, and find a doctor to treat their injuries. Be careful not to let anyone die." Shen Cha looked at the confession in his hand, "Give me two copies of this."
"yes."
Shen Cha turned around and looked at Duan Xinglong. Without saying anything, he and Shen Haolin walked to Qin Zheng and Yan Bo and helped them out of the dungeon.
