Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2503 Reconciliation 45.0

Xiaotong didn't know why he was suddenly sent back to the government office. He only knew that he said something that made his brothers and sisters look unhappy. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out if he had said something wrong. He also secretly asked Meilin and Hongye.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you. I just suddenly felt like someone was plotting against me."

Xiaotong looked at Merlin who said this with gritted teeth, and felt even more worried. This time he was worried about his master and the class leader. If he had offended the wrong people, he might not be able to get away with it.

When they arrived at the government office, Shen Cha asked Jin Miaomiao and Meilin to send Xiaotong back to his residence, and asked Hongye to call Yingwu. He sat in the court and looked through the confessions on the table.

"How is it? Lao Wu can't have made no progress at all?" Shen Jiu moved a stool and sat next to Shen Cha, craning his neck to look at the confessions. As he read, he couldn't help but complain, "These two really sympathize with each other. I don't believe at all that the injuries on Ke's body were inflicted by Mian Bai, even though he and Xiao Tong both said so."

"It's not impossible. Mianbai is an alcoholic. He is completely different when he is drunk than when he is normal." Shen Cha looked at Shen Jiu. "A drunkard is not a drunkard when he is sober, and he will not hit people casually."

"That's true." Shen Jiu understood what her sister was talking about and sighed softly, "Their confessions clearly show that they were covering up for each other. Are those so-called contradictions just an act for others to see?"

"There is definitely a conflict, and this conflict is definitely not as simple as a fight. These..." Shen Cha pointed to the confessions on the table and said expressionlessly, "They should have discussed it in advance."

"Did they discuss it?" Shen Jiu looked at the confessions. "Sister, what they meant is that they had anticipated what might happen and predicted that we would arrest them and interrogate them, so they colluded with each other in advance."

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "From these confessions, it seems that Mian Bai wants to take all the blame on himself and minimize the guilt of Mr. Ke." When she said this, she couldn't help but sneer, "He is really loyal to the Empress Dowager and does his duty well!"

"He is a man who values ​​his word. He must do what he promised." Shen Jiu curled his lips. "But, they have already foreseen this outcome and have discussed it. Why did they let this happen? Isn't it better not to come?"

"Yeah, isn't it okay if they don't come? But you also heard what Xiaotong said just now. Mianbai obviously doesn't agree with their troupe coming to our place. He strongly suggested and tried his best to persuade Ke Dajia to give up, but Ke Dajia insisted and even said that if such a thing happened, his identity as the nephew of the Empress Dowager could be revealed. He has hidden his identity for so long, but he is not hesitant to expose it at this time. What does it mean?"

"It means." Shen Jiu held his cheek and thought for a while, then said, "There must be something he wants to do or someone he wants to see here, right?"

"Yes, and he doesn't want Mianbai to know what he wants to do or who he wants to see." Shen Cha touched his chin and said, "In other words, they are not that honest with each other. We don't know whether Mianbai has a secret from Ke Dajia, but Ke Dajia must have one."

"You're hiding a secret, aren't you?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Shen Jiu threw the confessions in his hand on the table and looked at the door. "Why hasn't Lao Wu come yet? He's not still interrogating them, is he?"

"Don't worry. If they want to investigate, let them do it. We won't have anything to worry about. We just need to wait."

Shen Jiu nodded, stood up and walked around the court. After a few turns, he heard footsteps outside. He ran out to take a look, then quickly ran back.

"Sister, sister, Lao Wu is here!"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, and smiled as she watched Shen Jiu run back to her side and sit down. Before she could say anything, she saw Hong Ye and Ying Wu coming in. "Are you here?" She waved at them, "No need to salute, just find a chair and sit down!" "Thank you, Boss!" Ying Wu brought two stools and placed them in front of the case, and asked Hong Ye to sit down, then he sat down and looked at the confession on the case, "Have you, Boss and Little General, read it?"

"I've seen it. Apart from these, what else did you gain?"

"I don't know if the boss and the young general think the same as I do. I don't think any of them are telling the truth." Yingwu pointed at the confessions, "The collusion is too obvious. It's hard to pretend not to know."

"Keep talking!"

"I've been trying to pry open their mouths these past few days, but they seem to be very resilient. Apart from this, they refuse to say a word."

"You won't say a word?" Shen Jiu chuckled. "This is very interesting. It has aroused my interest." He looked at Ying Wu. "You are so slow. Are you still interrogating him?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded, "But no matter what, they refused to speak." He looked at Shen Cha, "If the boss doesn't come today, I'm going to go back and invite him. My second brother and I are really at a loss."

"Their silence is not the same, right?"

"The boss is right again."

Ying Er's tired voice was heard from the door of the court. Everyone looked over and saw Ying Er walking in with heavy steps. He pulled a stool and sat down next to Ying Wu.

"Please forgive me, Boss and General, I am too tired to salute." Ying Er cupped his hands as a salute. "Mian Bai refused to speak because he really didn't know the answers to all the questions we asked. He was confused and at a loss. But Mr. Ke..." He sighed softly, "He pretended to be confused and talked about other things. It's not that he didn't know how to answer, but he deliberately didn't say it. It feels like..." He paused, "It seems like he is waiting..."

"Waiting for us to show up?" Shen Jiu looked at Ying Er, Ying Wu, and then at Shen Cha, "That means he wants to talk to us, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, he raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that easy? Bring him to the court and see what he wants to say."

"Okay, that's why we're here." Shen Cha looked at Ying Er and sighed, "Old Five, go!"

"Okay!" Ying Wu responded and stood up. "Do we just need to mention Mr. Ke?"

"Just find him. Mianbai, come back after you've interrogated him." Shen Cha nodded, watched Ying Wu leave, then looked at Hong Ye who looked thoughtful, "What are you thinking about so seriously?"

"I was wondering, why did he go to such great lengths to come here?" Hongye touched his chin, looked at Shen Cha and Shen Jiu, and said hesitantly, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager gave him some instructions before she died?"
