"This is..." Jin Jing frowned, poured herself tea, took two sips, handed the rest to Xue Ruitian, watched him finish the drink, and then said, "Afraid of committing suicide? Or are you worried that you won't be able to withstand the torture? Did you say something you shouldn’t have said?”
"Committing suicide out of fear of crime should be what those of us who know the inside story say. After all, they don't think they are guilty. Don't the people of the Qinglian Sect always think that they are saving the common people?" Shen Cha sneered, "As for They would be worried that they would not be able to withstand the torture, so they would say something that they should not say, and they would overthink it. After all, they are women who have been convicted of official crimes, and they generally would not be tortured easily."
"Why is that?" Jin Jing was puzzled, "If they were alive, would the Qinglian Church help them and rescue them?"
"No!" Shen Haolin drank Chen Cha and shook his head at the same time. After saying that, the two people smiled at each other. Shen Cha continued, "It would be a waste of manpower to save them. It would be better to kill them and silence them, so there is no need to worry about them. The secret will be revealed."
"That's true." Jin Jing sighed, poured herself another cup of tea, snatched the pear from Jin Miaomiao's hand, took a bite, and said, "They were originally members of the Qinglian Sect, and they acted against the Sect. I also know his style very well, so I probably have this in mind.”
"Probably!" Shen Cha nodded, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Haolin, then took a small plate of cut fruits and put it in front of Jin Miaomiao, and said, "One more thing, I probably don't want to suffer." Seeing that. Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing looked at her blankly, and she sighed softly, "They have enjoyed blessings for most of their lives, from working as personal female officials for the Empress Dowager to later becoming aunts in Ning Mansion in Xijing. The scenery is endless, although some of the things they do are relatively dirty, but their lives are very good, right? According to the practice of Daxia, the female prisoners and their families are either put into hard labor in the palace, or sold to the prison Fangsi will either be assigned by the inner court to serve as slaves in the royal family or noble houses. Do you think they can accept these few options?"
“That’s true.”
"Right?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow slightly, "Besides, the Qinglian Sect is also observing their every move. If they don't end it on their own, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive until the next day."
At this point, she stopped, looked at Xue Ruitian, and then at Shen Haolin, wanting to say something, but not sure if she was right.
"what you want to say?"
"I suddenly thought of something, but I don't know if I am right. At that time, the Queen Mother was no longer around, and their actions were all obeying the new person in power. From this, can we determine that the new person in power was Maybe in the capital?"
"Not necessarily." Shen Haolin drank half of the tea and put the remaining half into Shen Cha's hand. "Based on the situation we have now, the rules of the Qinglian Sect are very strict and require senior members to , especially those who master the core secrets. When encountering such an accident, they must kill themselves to prevent the secrets of the sect from being leaked and bringing disaster to the Qinglian Sect. This is a very rigid rule, regardless of whether the person in power is in Beijing or not. Here, they must execute it. Otherwise, as you just said, if they don’t take any action, the killers of the Green Lotus Sect will appear."
Shen Cha held the tea cup and drank slowly. While drinking, he nodded frequently and said, "I just suddenly thought of this possibility. If the person in power was in Beijing at that time, we might be able to learn from the time. By inferring who is in power from the suspicious figures in Beijing, or narrowing it down to a narrow range, we won’t be at a loss until now.”
"Take your time. Anyway, we have a lot of information. It is estimated that we will soon know who the person in power is. After all, it is the ones who are closer to the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager dies, it will definitely be Handing such a great power to the person she trusts most." Xue Ruitian patted his leg and turned to look at Shen Cha, "By the way, are they almost here?"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "There are still about three days to go."
"Have you met His Majesty and the others?"
"No!" Shen Cha shook his head gently and opened his mouth to eat Shen Hao
Lin fed a piece of pear to his mouth, and after finishing it, he said, "It just so happens that the front and back legs are staggered. They are still in a coma, so there is no need to worry about them turning into monsters."
"That's good." A huge brazier."
"Brazier?" Jin Jing threw the pear core into the dish filled with garbage, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said, "If there are no mistakes in my memory, when the Ningchang State ransacked the house, it should have been summer or... When the heat is at its peak, the whole room is filled with ice and you don’t feel cool, and they even built such a big brazier? Was their original plan to heat themselves to death, or to burn themselves to death? Or..." He slightly raised the corners of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile, "What are you burning?"
"Correct answer!" , they were all burned to ashes, and I don’t even know what they were.”
"Sure enough, they are burning something. It should be the letters between them and the Green Lotus Sect and the Empress Dowager." Jin Jing nodded, looked around, took another apple and gnawed it, and said, "These two concubines It's unusual. He doesn't panic when things happen, he is very calm, and he handles things in an orderly manner. Before hanging himself, he arranged everything properly, which is something ordinary people can't do."
"That's true." Xue Ruitian nodded and sneered, "Anyway, this is a person trained by the Empress Dowager herself, how can it be compared with ordinary people, right?"
"Hey, don't be so resentful?" Jin Jing walked to Xue Ruitian, patted him, and said, "The dead are the most important, so it's better to be a little more careful." He looked at the relationship in the back house of the Ning family. , "Mrs. Ning seemed to be seriously ill when the house was searched?"
“Yes!”
"It's a beginning and an end!" Jin Jing felt Xue Ruitian's depression, put her arms around his shoulders, and shook him gently.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Xue Ruitian smiled at him, "Let's talk about what happened when they were still alive!"
"Mainly these two!" Jin Jing clicked on the names Ruohong and Lvshui, "How did they get into Ning Mansion?"
