Shen Cha looked at Shen Zhonghe's expression, nodded towards Xue Ruitian, and motioned for him to add more fire.
Xue Ruitian received Shen Cha's hint, made a gesture, and snorted coldly.
"Master Shen, do you think we are being alarmist? Or do you think that as long as this person is definitely dead, her affairs and life experience will be buried forever and no one will reveal her?"
"Master Marquis, don't be so aggressive, I just..."
"You just want to mourn your once self-righteous feelings, right? You have already admitted that you were plotted, so why do you waver again and again?" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "You have such a hesitant and repetitive character. , and it’s not suitable to go back to Liu Shuai’s place.”
"Why?"
"Why do you think it is?" Xue Ruitian stood up, walked to Shen Zhonghe, and looked at him condescendingly, "If you don't know, then let me tell you!" He stared at Shen Zhonghe seriously, Say it word for word, "Because you don't deserve it!"
"Wu Dinghou!" Shen Zhonghe jumped up from his chair and glared at Xue Ruitian fiercely, "Don't think you are noble and you just convict others at will. Why do you think I'm not worthy?"
"Based on your performance just now, you are not worthy of me, the Duke of Zhen, and the general!" Xue Ruitian reached out and grabbed the clothes on Shen Zhonghe's chest, glared at him and asked, "I Let me ask you, if one day you meet Hui Niang on the sea who was supposed to die but has not yet died and has become your opponent and your enemy, what will you do?"
"me……"
"Give you two choices. Will you kill her, or will you go with her and betray Daxia, betray the Southern Border Army, betray your Majesty and Liu Shuai?"
"I..." Shen Zhonghe swallowed nervously and hesitated, "I will... kill..."
"No, you won't. You will go with her." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Zhonghe disappointedly, "Master Shen, you really make us look down on you."
"I will kill her. If she is really our enemy as you say, I will definitely kill her."
"Stop lying to yourself. You will definitely go with her. This is also the main reason why she chose you among so many people." Xue Ruitian threw the person to the ground and watched Shen Zhonghe fall On the ground, he sighed softly and said, "You won't kill her, and you can't bear to kill her, because in your heart, she is the most important person in the world."
"No, I will not."
"There's nothing you can't do. Although you say so, that's what you think in your heart." Jin Miaomiao held her cheek, looked at Shen Zhonghe helplessly, and said, "Although you are older, You haven’t seen as many people as we have. We have seen a lot of foreign people, and we have also seen a lot of people who were bribed by foreign people. When they knew that their friends and lovers were Xizuo, their reaction was actually the same as yours just now. It’s the same. I had doubts, but I quickly gave up the doubts. I heard others say that this person was suspicious, and I doubted it again, but after a while, I didn’t quite trust my own judgment, nor did I trust the judgments of others. ." She smiled at Shen Zhonghe, "Am I right, Master Shen? This is what you were thinking in your heart during the half hour just now, right?"
"..." Shen Zhonghe had to admit that Jin Miaomiao saw through him. These were indeed all the activities in his heart just now.
"Master Shen, although you don't want to admit it, I still have to say that you have a deep love for Hui Niang. You love her more than you love yourself and the people around you." Jin Miaomiao spread her hands towards Shen Zhonghe. , "You don't have to look at me like that, I have proof. In the conversations we just had, you mentioned more than once that she is your favorite person, the person you most want to spend the rest of your life with, and This person has passed away. If this person came back to life, you would cry with joy, and you would give up everything and live with her forever."
"I didn't, I didn't!" Shen Zhonghe sat on the ground, shook his head violently towards Xue Ruitian, and shouted loudly, "I didn't!"
"No, you do. People who have had the same experience as you also say the same thing.
But we used them for testing, and they all had it. They followed their friends and lovers who were doing Xingzuo without hesitation, and even told Xingzuo everything they knew. Jin Miaomiao sighed, "If Hui Niang appears in front of you, you will do the same."
"I...I don't know how..." Shen Zhonghe looked at Jin Miaomiao blankly, and then at Xue Ruitian, "I really don't know how."
"I'm sorry, Master Shen, I have to tell you that everything we just said was, on the one hand, to explain what we know, and on the other hand, it was a test for you, Master Shen, and you failed our test."
"Test? Test? Why?"
"Why? How could it be so easy for you to return to the Southern Border Army? We will not easily let someone who has been away from the Border Army for a long time return to the Border Army. This is very uncontrollable for us." Shen Cha sneered and looked at Shen Zhonghe coldly, "I know that Liu Shuai has always wanted you to go back, but it doesn't matter what he says. Your Majesty has to talk to us and the commander-in-chief."
"Whoever you have come into contact with or met in Xijing City over the years needs to be investigated by us. This is the power given to us by Your Majesty. We must ensure that everyone in the border army is loyal to Your Majesty. Second, in their hearts, the interests of Your Majesty and Da Xia are supreme. Even if their relatives or family members do evil things to Your Majesty or Da Xia, they will kill them without mercy. And you... Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly, "Master Shen, you are not qualified. In your heart, Daxia and His Majesty are not the first place, and you, a concubine of unknown origin, That’s the most important thing.”
"You said, these are all to test me, which means Hui Niang is not a bad person, right?"
"No, although we are testing you, there are still doubts about Hui Niang. As I said, she is covered in pigtails, and she has a lot of them." Shen Cha chuckled, "Mr. Shen , judging from the question you asked, it has revealed your true inner thoughts, hasn’t it?”
Shen Zhonghe was completely knocked down. He collapsed on the ground, not knowing what he should do.
"Master Shen, I have very conclusive evidence to prove that your mother Hui, Xiaobao's mother, is not from Daxia, nor is she a ship merchant who makes ships her home."
"Evidence?" Shen Zhonghe suddenly became more energetic after hearing Shen Cha's words, "What evidence?"
"A piece of jade pendant."
