Entering the warm hall, the three of them saw a man in mysterious clothes standing in the room with his hands behind his back. His posture did not look like a guard at all.
Hearing the sound coming from the door, the man in black clothes turned around, saw Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Song Qiyun, and smiled at them.
"Are you back?" Tantai Pingchuan's eyes swept across Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun, and finally landed on Shen Cha.
"Hello!" Shen Cha met Tantai Pingchuan once in Xuanyuan Xiaoyuan and knew that he was not a guard in the ordinary sense. He also held great weight in Xuanyuan Liang's heart, so he put him and Xuanyuan Liang on an equal footing. Viewed in terms of position. "Please sit down!"
Before today, Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun had only heard Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao talk about this person, but had never seen him. They thought he should have similar impressions to Xuanyuan Liang, after all, their age. But when they saw him today, they were shocked. They didn't expect this man to look so young. Some people believed him even if he said he was in his twenties or thirties. The two of them sighed in their hearts at the same time, that medicine was really miraculous.
"Mr. Guo, with the way you are staring at people, I thought I had committed something and I was going to be punished by you!" Tantai Pingchuan raised his eyebrows at Shen Haolin, "Relax, I am here this time. I’m not here to cause trouble, nor am I here to steal people from you, so you don’t have to be so wary of me.”
"I don't mean anything like this. It's just our first meeting and I'm just curious. If I offended you, I apologize." Shen Haolin glanced at the other party lightly, stretched out his hand to pull Shen Cha over, and asked her to sit next to him. "You are here this time. Does Old General Xuanyuan have something for us to do, or do you have something to tell us? If we can do it, we will definitely do it."
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. There is nothing for you to do, and there is nothing to say." Tantai Pingchuan nodded towards Chang Sui who brought him tea, "It's about that case. There are some doubts that I want to tell you. Let's discuss it. We have already read Ma Tingtu's confession. The old general and I have the same idea. This confession is half true and half false. Ma Tingtu did not tell you the truth, oh, he did not tell the whole truth."
"We are also aware of this." Shen Cha nodded, put the stove aside, and asked Mei Zhu to bring a pen and paper, "We think that he wanted to protect someone, so we put all the blame on him together. We can bear it.”
"I saw your comments. Some of them agree, and some don't, so I want to talk to you." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head gently, "You think it is his younger brothers and sisters who you want to protect, but I and I The old general doesn’t agree with this view, or he doesn’t agree with it all.”
"Why?" Shen Cha frowned, "Do you two think there is someone else?"
"General, don't be anxious. Let's clarify this relationship slowly. First of all, Ma Tingtu testified that his two younger brothers and one younger sister died at the hands of assassins sent by Wanyanping. But in fact, he and his younger siblings They left the Kingdom of Jin and entered Daxia very smoothly. This is beyond doubt and can be confirmed. Foreigners entering the border gates of Daxia must apply for approval from the border guards. Without the permission of the guards, it is impossible to enter. Of course, , the exception is Jiapingguan City. Before the Shen family army was stationed there, Jiapingguan City was a mixed bag. There were fine craftsmen from every country, and there were also the kind of Jianghu people who only recognized money but not people. Later, Shen Guogong and Shen Jiajun were stationed there. In Jiapingguan City, the situation improved after some ruthless rectification."
"But they entered Daxia ten years ago. If they came from our side, we would have an impression." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "I haven't seen their application. Brother, do you have an impression?"
Shen Haolin thought for a moment and shook his head gently, saying that he had no impression either.
"They didn't come in from you. They deliberately took a long detour and went to Guancheng where Deputy Commander Qin was at that time."
"My master?" Shen Cha was stunned, "Then how did you know? My master told you?"
"You have to know that all those who enter Daxia life normally, I refer to those who live and do business, not those who are abnormal, such as doing fine work, etc. If you live a normal life, the procedures are very cumbersome, and the border customs approval In addition, some still need approval from Xijing, especially those from Jin and Liao." Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "I remember their applications. The Ministry of War took them over to show them to several old generals in Xijing. Because they were too young and had no family to follow them, they were not originally going to approve it. But later, someone vouched for them and they were allowed to go."
"Is there anyone who provided guarantee? Ma Tingtu said that Mabol Gu once saved a child. Later, the child was adopted by a businessman couple from Daxia. Are they the guarantee?"
"It's them." Tantai Pingchuan took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, picked out one and handed it to Shen Cha, "This is the backup, take a look."
"How come you have this?"
"It's not just me, there are old generals and princes who have led troops." Tantai Pingchuan explained, "The general can check based on this."
Shen Cha thanked Tantai Pingchuan and browsed the record carefully. While reading, he copied some key information on the paper in front of him. After copying, he returned the record.
"They have been in the south for ten years, and they have never stopped wanting to take revenge on Zhuolu." Shen Cha looked at his transcript, "Maybe the discovery of Zhuolu's traces was accidental, and it should not exceed a year. Ma Tingtu and his younger brothers and sisters just came to Xijing."
"This is the second point I want to make." Tantai Pingchuan handed over the other two pieces of paper, "Ma Tingtu lied about Qingdie's question."
"Qingdie wasn't his younger brother and sister? Are there other insiders?"
"This is your oversight. Do you think the deceased is the victim?" Seeing the three children across from him looking confused at the same time, Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "This is what we are worried about. The deceased is the victim. , but they are not necessarily the victims. You must clearly distinguish between the two. Just because they are dead, you cannot not investigate their origins and backgrounds."
"You mean the Zhuolu family and the twelve guys are among the spies of Martin Tu?"
Seeing Tantai Pingchuan pointing at the paper in her hand, Shen Cha quickly lowered her head and looked down. When she finished reading, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"This... this... is incredible!" She let out a long sigh, "This old Zhuolu's ability to make enemies is no worse than Mabol Gu!"
"This is normal. He used to be the right-hand man of the old King Jin. In the process of fighting for the throne, it is inevitable to have enemies. What's more, Mabol Gu once supported the Sixth Prince, but he was not a major figure back then. And with great military exploits, the old King Jin did not deal with him after he came to the throne, allowing him to escape."
"So, they hit it off. They would rather sacrifice themselves than take revenge." After reading the contents on the two pieces of paper, Shen Haolin was not in a good mood. "This is a conflict within the Jin Kingdom, but it happened to us. Daxia, that's ironic enough." He glanced at Tantai Pingchuan, "You came to us not just to tell us this, right? After all, this is the mission of Jing Zhaoyin and the Ministry of Punishment. If you want to solve the case, you I’ll go find them.”
"The Duke is right, this is not the real purpose of my coming." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "I came to you because of Mu Sheng."
"Mu Sheng?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Are you giving up on yourself and are you ready to tell us frankly?"
"Honesty is the first step in cooperation, right?" Tantai Pingchuan smiled, "Originally Ah Liang didn't agree with my coming, but I thought about it and decided that in order to make things smoother in the future, I still have to take this step. from."
"Your decision is right." Shen Cha nodded slightly, "So, what's wrong with Mu Sheng?"
"There's nothing wrong. He's mine."
