The biggest feeling for the killers who were left in the yard and enjoyed the world of ice and fire now was regret.
Regret that they thought this was a good job from the beginning, and tried their best to squeeze out their colleagues to get this job. Regret that they underestimated this Daxia general from the beginning, and underestimated her strategies and methods. If they could turn back time, they would never ask for trouble.
This regret reached its peak when the people of Daxia immorally stewed mutton in the yard.
The killers followed him all the way from the border. They couldn't eat well or sleep well, and they had to be on guard against others taking the opportunity to choke. I originally thought that the situation would be better when they arrived at Linhuang Mansion, but they didn't expect that the order from above would directly send them to death. If the people of Daxia hacked them to death with a knife, it would be fine. They would die early and live again, but now killing people with blunt knives is worse than death!
Shen Cha was sitting on the corridor, looking at the assassins in the yard, and raised her eyebrows slightly. This trick of hers was a bit overkill when used on this group of low-level assassins. It was usually used on respectable spies or enemy generals. of. However, considering that it is night, the sound of whips and the howling of prisoners will disturb the tranquility of the night and affect the rest of the people in the town. Furthermore, according to their plan, they would escort this group of assassins through the city gate of Linhuang Mansion, or even parade through the city. If these people showed signs of torture, they would probably cause unnecessary trouble. After all, this is the territory of the Liao people, and it is better to do less than to do more.
"What are you thinking about?" Jin Jing took two sips of tea, asked Mei Lin to cover Shen Cha with a blanket, and said in a low voice, "Unexpectedly, the situation here is more complicated than we expected. The trees are still but the wind is not stopping."
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop? No, Brother Xiaojing, the tree doesn't want to be quiet at all, so the wind will naturally not stop." Shen Cha squinted his eyes, "There was someone... sitting on it before, and everyone maintained their appearance. Everyone is fine, but in fact... they are secretly competing with each other, and they have already fought many times. But the situation is different now. He sat in that position openly, and all the contradictions and oppositions were brought to the surface. ”
"That's right. Someone used to be a target, but now I am a target." Jin Jing raised her chin, "Where do you think they come from?"
"Over the years, he has made too many enemies. Anyone wants to teach him a lesson. I wouldn't find it strange that these people come from any family. But, the most likely thing is..." Shen Cha stretched out his finger to touch the tea There was water in the cup and he wrote something on the table, "What do you think of Brother Xiaojing? Are you the same as me?"
"It's the same as what I thought. I even think that these three groups are from here." Seeing that Shen Cha agreed with his statement, Jin Jing smiled and said, "They themselves are not peaceful, they have many supporters, and the fighting is in full swing. . Even so, he still does not forget to cause trouble for his opponent, and I am convinced."
"It's best for everyone to cause chaos together. There can't be serious internal strife between one family and another family taking advantage of it, right?" Shen Cha yawned and took a deep breath, "I was busy until midnight and smelled the fragrant mutton soup. , it’s really a big test. Unfortunately, for me, I can only smell it.”
"It's good that you know. If you let that girl Miaomiao know, if I let you eat whatever you want, my baby will be tortured by her again." Jin Jing touched her chin, "Tell me, should I put the flower garden in the garden?" Move to the Hou Mansion? That girl doesn't want to see Xiaotian, so she doesn't go there very much."
"It's okay. Brother Xiaotian's place is big anyway, but..." Shen Cha showed a fake smile towards Jin Jing, "There is a red leaf over there. In terms of the destructive power to flowers and plants, she is no better than Miao. Miao Cha, the two of them...are even the same thing!"
"She? She shouldn't have the leisure to harm me now, right? On the one hand, she has to be busy covering up her identity from being discovered. On the other hand, she has to try her best to deliver the news, and she has to complete the arrangements you and Haolin have given her. She's so busy that she doesn't even have time to eat or sleep, so where can she bother with anything else?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Xiaocha, are you ready to confirm her identity this time?"
"No." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Except for a very few people, the vast majority of people only hear their names and don't know who they are, and you can't find out if you ask them. And those who know their names, Naturally, they won't tell us, and we don't have to bother with that boring guy."
The two of them chatted for almost half a stick of incense when they heard a miserable roar coming from the yard.
"I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to attack! I'm going to attack! I'm going to attack them all!"
Hearing this voice, Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other with understanding smiles.
As time goes by, or to be more precise, as the temperature at night slowly drops and the smell of the mutton soup in the big wood pot becomes stronger and stronger, more and more people cannot stand the test. It is only half a cup of tea. The killer group had been completely wiped out.
The shadows in charge of the interrogation didn't need to talk nonsense. A steaming bowl of mutton soup was brought to them. The killers said whatever they had, without hiding anything.
As Ying Qi listened, he shook his head secretly in his heart. If some people knew that they had been betrayed by a bowl of mutton soup, they would be sad or sad.
The torture ended quickly. Ying Qi compared everyone's confessions. Except for the different names of the people behind them, there were no major differences, and they were sent directly to Shen Cha and Jin Jing.
Shen Cha and Jin Jing drank tea all night and were not sleepy at all. They read all the confessions carefully.
"Take them to the firewood shed and wait for Mr. Nan to come and hand them over." Shen Cha stood up and walked into the house with Jin Jing, "As we suspected before, they are really from their family. Hands. Even Mr. Qi’s previous prediction was from someone they sent. However, I have a problem that I haven’t figured out yet.”
"Are you wondering how Ye Luling got into the Xiao family?" Jin Jing followed Shen Cha to the second floor. "You forgot one person, Xiao Fengqi. Although this person has been silent for a while, his desire for power is still there. , I won’t let him give up.”
"It's him!" Shen Cha sneered, "I remembered, there was news before that these two people were very close, but since they were dismissed from office at the same time, the two of them disappeared. I originally I thought they had lost contact, but I didn’t expect that they had switched from being on the surface to being in the dark, and the contact has never been completely broken.”
"Build the plank road openly and visit Chen Cang secretly." Jin Jing nodded, "Two ambitious people have a lot to talk about."
"A careerist?" Shen Cha shook his head, "Xiao Fengqi can barely qualify, but Yeluling is not worthy."
"On the contrary, Yelu Ling has always been played by Xiao Fengqi, but unfortunately, he didn't notice it at all." Jin Jing sighed and stretched a lot, "Unless one of the Yelu family and the Xiao family is exterminated, otherwise , this feud will never be reconciled."
"Hey, this is a common understanding among everyone. It's a pity... I knew Yeluling was stupid before, but I didn't expect him to be this stupid. As a member of the Yelu family, he actually turned to the Xiao family, and he thought that he was the same as Xiao. If we cooperate with our family and bring down the Yelu family, we can be on an equal footing with Xiao Fengqi." Shen Cha shook his head, "The old general has been wise and martial all his life, how could he have such a stupid son!"
"A cheater will not be recognized wherever he goes. Today he can betray his own family, and tomorrow he can betray the Xiao family. If the Yelu family survives, the Xiao family can use him, but once the Yelu family is destroyed, Yelu Ling has no use value at all, so they can abandon it without hesitation. However, the Xiao family did not expect that Yeluling was more ruthless than they imagined and actually did such a despicable thing to the two elderly people. Something happened." Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha, "Xiao Cha, I've been working hard all night and I'm really tired. Do you want to take a nap?"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. After drinking so much tea, I'm not sleepy at all. On the contrary, I'm quite energetic. Besides, it's getting light now and Yerunan is coming to pick us up. We'll rest after we enter Linhuang Mansion. It's not too late." Shen Cha took the pen and paper and wrote down the confessions of the assassins on it. Most of the content was written on it, but the content about the people behind the scenes was deleted. After finishing writing, she handed the newly released confession to Jin Jing, "How about writing it like this?"
"Okay, that's it!" Jin Jing looked at it quickly and said with a bad smile, "The Xiao family will definitely not think that we will publicize their unflattering things. Tsk, I really want to see them. What was your reaction when you heard the news?"
