Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2565: Atonement for Sins 28.0
Two months later, Shen Cha interrogated Boss Luan again. Seeing Boss Luan's face with a very flattering smile, she suddenly found that her mood was different from before.

Just when they had captured Boss Luan, she really wanted to urgently learn from this man some things about the Qinglian Sect and the person behind it.

At that time, they did not know about Master Falian, nor did they know that he was the little prince left behind by the previous dynasty, and they did not know about his huge network of relationships. The Qinglian Sect and Master Falian were still a distant unknown to them.

The only breakthrough they had was the Empress Dowager and the Ning family. The Boss Luan in front of them was an important link in this breakthrough. Therefore, all of them believed that as long as they could pry open Boss Luan's mouth, they could follow the clues to find the person behind the Qinglian Sect and find out the secret of this person.

It is precisely because of this that they are relatively polite to Boss Luan. Although they have used torture, they think it is just a minor act. The methods used to deal with foreign spies and heinous criminals have not been used yet. If those methods are used, they are worried that Boss Luan will not be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha sighed softly, looked at the person who was smiling apologetically in front of him, and gently knocked on the small table beside him.

However, these were all things of the past. Now, facing Boss Luan again, Shen Cha suddenly felt that this person was really pitiful and ridiculous.

It's a pity that this person doesn't recognize his own position. He thinks he is a very important person in Master Falian's heart. Unfortunately, he is just a pawn who can be abandoned and replaced at any time.

What's funny is that this man wholeheartedly believes that a person who treats him as a tool and takes advantage of him to make money can lend a helping hand to him in times of crisis, and believes that everything he has in his hands can be used to threaten his master. He is so old and still has such cognition. Shen Cha doesn't know whether to say that he is naive or that he has lived a dog's life for the past few decades.

"Boss! Boss!" Ying Er was sitting behind Shen Cha on the left. He waited for a long time but she didn't speak. He couldn't help but called out softly. When he saw her looking back at him, he whispered, "I'm waiting for you to ask me questions!"

"Question?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and looked at the tied-up Boss Luan. "This general doesn't want to know anything, so why ask? Didn't Boss Luan cry and yell to see this general? Then Boss Luan might as well tell me what's the matter that makes you so urgent to see this general!"

"That..." Maybe it was because he had lost his appetite or hadn't had a good rest recently, but Boss Luan's voice sounded like he had been hoarse for a long time, like something grinding on the ground. He knew his voice was unpleasant, so he showed an apologetic expression to Shen Cha, cleared his throat, and said, "First of all, I want to thank the general and all the generals for saving my life. If it weren't for you, my wife and I would have been gone from this world long ago."

"Don't say thank you. We just saved you." Ying Wu looked at Shen Cha's expression and tapped the stone table in front of him with his whip. "If you insist on seeing our boss just to thank us, don't blame us for beating you!" He looked Boss Luan up and down. "You are so old, how can you be so ignorant? Don't you know how busy we are every day? How can we have time to talk to you about these trivial things!"

"No, no, no, I really have something to tell the general." Boss Luan looked at Shen Cha in panic, "After these assassination attempts, I have figured it out. He really doesn't intend to save me. Since he is ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust."

"Who is he?" Ying Wu cracked his whip fiercely, "Is he the master behind you? The real person in charge of the Qinglian Sect?" "Yes, that's him!" Boss Luan nodded, "This man has a Buddhist name, Master Falian, and he is the real person in charge of the Qinglian Sect. I started to have interactions with him when I was very young. The general should know that my family has had a disease for generations. If you get this disease, you won't live long. The generals all know that my eldest brother died because of this."

"We know all this, tell me what we don't know."

"Actually, I have this disease too." Boss Luan spoke frankly about his situation. He looked at the people who had no expression or reaction on their faces, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's just that my situation is less serious than my brother's, and someone sent a doctor and medicine to save my life."

"The person who saved you was Master Falian?" Seeing Boss Luan nod, Shen Cha showed an understanding expression. Boss Luan's situation was basically the same as what they knew before, with not much difference. She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, "Since he could save you, why didn't he save your elder brother? As far as we know, he is more interested in your elder brother than you, right?"

"Yes!" Boss Luan was not surprised at all that Shen Cha said this. His wife must have told him everything before. He sighed deeply and said, "But my eldest brother is too ill and can't be saved."

"Did you say that, or did the doctor say that?"

"It was the doctor. He tried hard for many days, but..." Boss Luan shook his head gently, "He was helpless. He could only maintain my eldest brother's condition at the time and let him live a little longer. This doctor is indeed capable. Although my eldest brother just lay in bed and was dying for those years, at least he was able to live a few more years, so that he could reach the age of getting married."

"Nominally he's marrying the bride, but actually it's you, right?"

Ying Wu looked at Shen Cha's expression and knew that his eldest brother had been feeling resentful about the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Ning had been jilted. Not only his eldest brother, but all of them were feeling resentful about this matter.

"Yes, but."

Boss Luan carefully looked at the faces of several people. He knew that his wife had an engagement before she married into the Luan family, but no matter the Ning family, the Liu family, or the Empress Dowager, they had never said that the Liu family was breaking off the engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Ning. However, if he knew, he would not say or do anything. After all, he was nothing at the time and it was not his turn to make the decision.

"but what?"

"I didn't know how this marriage came about, so I didn't think much about it." Boss Luan thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Prime Minister Ning said at the time that it didn't matter whether you were willing or not. This matter was not something that anyone could decide. It was the boss who wanted to do it."
