Seeing Jin Jing's mysterious look, Shen Cha curled his lips in disgust, put down the official document in his hand, stood up, put on his cloak and walked out.

Having grown up together, Shen Cha is very aware of the bad taste engraved in Jin Jing's bones. Although he looks like a handsome young man on the surface and smiles all day long, he is actually a guy with a particularly bad personality. When he talks, he likes to say Leave half of it and half of it, and it will be particularly enjoyable to see others scratching their heads and racking their brains to guess what they are really thinking. If it happens to be during a period of extreme excitement, it will be even worse. If you are planning to say ten sentences, what will you really say? There was only one sentence left, and the rest had to be guessed by others, or else begged to tell him.

Shen Cha was too lazy to play this kind of guessing game with Jin Jing. She didn't know if it was because she had too little sleep time recently and had too many official documents and battle reports to deal with. She was feeling groggy and needed to go out. Blow the air and wake up completely.

When Jin Jing saw Shen Cha coming out of the tent, she quickly put down the snacks in her hand, grabbed her cloak and followed her out. She was slightly relieved when she saw that Shen Cha didn't go anywhere, but just stood in front of the tent in a daze.

"What are you doing out here in such a cold day?" Jin Jing put on her cloak and put on Shen Cha's hood, "I haven't had a good rest for so many days. What if I catch a cold or get sick? This is no joke."

"I've been sitting for too long and my body is stiff. I need to move a little." Shen Cha raised his head and looked at the blue sky, sighing softly, "It's too warm in the big tent, and it's hard to use my brain. I need to wake up." ." She looked at Jin Jing and said, "Brother Xiaojing also moved a little bit and ate so much."

"I only took one bite of one piece of cake, and there's always more." Jin Jing was a little worried, "You've been so preoccupied these days, what are you thinking about?"

"Although we have always known that the internal conflicts in the Jin Kingdom are deep and irreconcilable, and it is only a matter of time before chaos breaks out, we didn't expect it to happen so quickly. According to my previous predictions, Wanyanping would have to find her anyway. She can use this excuse to fight with us or Liao a few times, temporarily divert the attention of those who oppose her to other places, and seize the time to establish her own power. When those people come to their senses, she has become stronger, and then confront her "I didn't expect..." She turned to look at Jin Jing, "I think avenging her mother alone is not enough for her to attack Wanyan Zongcheng so quickly. Wanyan Zongcheng was unconscious at this time, but he was actually very cruel to her. It’s very unfavorable. So, there must be some reason why we don’t know about it.”

"The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. There are probably outsiders who know about her mother's affairs. Maybe someone used her hand to deal with Wanyan Zongcheng, and also caught Wanyan Ping off guard. "

"Kill two birds with one stone?"

"This is a possibility, but it's not certain, and we don't have any evidence." Jin Jing breathed out, "Maybe the truth of the matter is not as complicated as we thought. Wanyan Zongcheng's body is just not as good as before, and he suddenly stopped. Therefore, we have given Wanyanping, the rest of the Wanyan family, and the tribes who are eyeing her a chance, and now it’s up to us to see who has a stronger fist.”

"Maybe, I hope I'm overthinking it."

"Haha, I'm afraid this isn't the only thing you've been thinking about these past few days, right? What else have you been thinking about? Tell me."

"This is indeed not my focus. I'm not worried about how brutal they will fight now. It's just that in this situation, it's more difficult for us to find the truth back then, isn't it?" Shen Cha turned his head and faced Jin Jing. Taking a quick look, "There are not many people who were insiders back then who are still alive today. After this war, there are even fewer who are left. What's more serious, maybe not a single one is left."

"It doesn't matter to us whether there are those people or not. We don't have to worry about it at all." Jin Jing patted Shen Cha on the arm, "Although in many cases, witnesses are the key, but in such a major case of collaboration with the enemy, physical evidence is the key." The one that plays the most important role. A witness’s confession can be changed, but it is much more difficult to change physical evidence, isn’t it?”

"That makes sense." Shen Cha nodded, "However, we have studied the files many times over and over again, but we have not found the key physical evidence that really led to the conviction. The witness's confession was vague. Yes, the physical evidence submitted cannot withstand scrutiny. Even His Majesty cannot understand what the late emperor relied on to execute Aunt Xue so neatly."

"Who says it's not the case? It's just because the verdict of that case was vague and there was nothing, whether it was witnesses or physical evidence, that couldn't form a complete chain of evidence, that's why we felt it was strange and that's why we spent so much money. It took so many years to find out the truth." Jin Jing stretched out, looked around to make sure that Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian were not hiding and eavesdropping, and then said, "Most of the physical evidence used to convict was The notes passed between the eldest prince and Aunt Xue when they were young are just words and phrases used by young lovers to express their inner feelings to each other. If placed in other cases, they would not even count as physical evidence."

"That's right. The big guys from the Hanlin Academy studied it for many days in a serious manner, insisting that they hid the news in the poems, but in the end they didn't give a clear answer." Shen Cha sneered, "Maybe they studied it. I came out and forgot to write it in the file."

"Xiaocha, don't be so mean. Those gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy are not easy. They forget about food and sleep, and their heads are almost bald. We have to be considerate of them. They are sure to pass on the news, but it's just because those notes are from Xue My aunt wrote in handwriting, and then someone came forward and said that they had witnessed the two of them entangled at the border, so..." Jin Jing spread her hands, "It only took ten days from the incident to the conclusion of the case."

"I always feel that the case is being closed in a hurry, for fear of others repeating the argument. It would be strange if there is nothing fishy in it. In addition, there is another point that I haven't thought about until now." Shen Cha paused for a while, "It stands to reason. , For such a serious crime as collaborating with the enemy, it is already a great favor if the nine clans are not implicated. Even if it is a relative, the empress in the palace will be implicated. But you see, after Aunt Xue's accident, the late emperor only dealt with her. "

"Yes, the late emperor ignored the joint petition from his ministers, still had great trust in the Wuding Hou Mansion, and still entrusted him with important responsibilities. Even... the Queen Mother was not implicated. Not only was she not implicated, but she was even more favored than before."

"You feel this way too, right?"

"The late emperor's approach is so contradictory, it has to make people think deeply." Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha, "Now that we have talked about it today, I will tell the truth. Several times, I felt that the truth of this case was not That's what we think, but it's another possibility. But if that's really the case, it's really terrible, or too terrifying."

"I'm afraid that the hypothesis that Brother Xiaojing thought of has been discussed with my brother many times. As you said, if that is the truth, the late emperor's thoughts are too... He really wasn't afraid of hurting Xun Xun by doing this. Gui, is it the heart of a general?"

"Rough people like us cannot understand the emperor's mind, but what is certain is that the court needs balance. When the late emperor was still alive, the nobles and generals were so glorious that the civil servants could not hold their heads up." Jin Jing sighed, "If my guess is correct, the late emperor was also worried about this at the time, and what happened to Aunt Xue happened. If Aunt Xue didn't have a sister who was a queen in the palace, maybe such a thing wouldn't have happened. occur."

"Just... for the sake of civil and military balance, I sacrificed the life of an innocent woman. Is it innocent?" Shen Cha sighed longly, "Should we be glad that His Majesty is not such a person?"

"Don't say that. This is just our guess, the most terrifying and impossible guess. We must not take it seriously. If the truth is not like this, wouldn't we have wronged the late emperor? This is disrespectful. Those censors know about it, and they are in trouble again. Let’s slowly look for evidence first. Whatever the final result is, we have tried our best, right?”

"What I'm saying is that if the truth is really what we think in the end, we will have to accept our fate. When the time comes, we will have to comfort Brother Xiaotian."

"The most important thing is that you think about it first." Jin Jing patted Shen Cha, "It took too long to come out, let's go back!"
