However, Bao Zheng couldn't figure out what his purpose was. Why did he kill the Crown Prince of Goryeo and the Seventh Prince of Goryeo?

Does Xiao Ai know the inside story? Or is Xiao Ai kidnapped in order to force Brother Shen to take action against the Goryeo prince?

Bao Zheng, who has already discovered the biggest suspect, can't figure out why he did this.

The deadline given by the Goryeo general was approaching, and three thousand Goryeo soldiers were ready to attack Luzhou and start a massacre at the command.

At this critical moment, Bao Zheng didn't care about anything else and called everyone to the inn, and also asked someone to call Xiao Ai over as well.

After two days of rest, Xiao Ai was able to move freely, but the bruises on her hands and feet had not yet completely disappeared.

When Xiao Ai arrived at the inn, Chu Chu pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ai, do you know who kidnapped you that day?"

Xiao Ai looked at her steadily, which made Chu Chu feel guilty. She came here to follow Bao Zheng's instructions and find out the details of Xiao Ai's kidnapping, but she still felt guilty when Xiao Ai looked at her like that.

When Xiao Ai saw Chuchu's lack of confidence, she knew that she was definitely not the one who wanted to know the answer to this question. Perhaps Bao Zheng had already found out about Shen Liang, but he did not find out Shen Liang's purpose, so he let Chuchu test her.

Xiao Ai shook her head. She indeed did not see the appearance of the person who kidnapped her.

"No, that person attacked me from behind. I don't even know his height, weight, or whether he was a man or a woman."

"Oh oh oh."

Chu Chu nodded in understanding, then shook her head slightly in the direction of Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng sighed when he saw that Chu Chu didn't find out anything.

He told us his inference about the murderer of the seventh prince.

The final evidence all points to one person, Shen Liang.

Bao Zheng pointed at Shen Liang and said firmly: "You are the murderer!"

"How could it be me? I've always been with you. Besides, why would I kill the Seventh Prince?"

Shen Liangzhu refused to admit it.

"This is also what I don't understand. I'm still not sure until now, but I already have a guess in my heart. That is, you are a Liao person, and your intention in killing the Goryeo prince is to provoke civil strife between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo, so that the Liao Dynasty can benefit!"

Bao Zheng jumped out of this case and discovered that the Song Dynasty and Goryeo went to war, and the only ones who benefited were the Liao people who were eyeing the Song Dynasty covetously.

Shen Liang did not admit Bao Zheng's conjecture, and asked calmly: "Do you have any evidence? This is all your conjecture!"

Bao Zheng shook his head, "I have no evidence, but I know someone who may know your identity!"

"Who?" Gongsun Ce was also very curious. He really couldn't believe that Shen Liang, who had been with them for more than ten years, was actually a Liao person.

Bao Zheng looked at Xiao Ai, and everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Ai at the same time.

Yes, if Shen Liang was a Liao person, how could his wife, who had slept with him for more than two years, not know any clues at all?

Xiao Ai lowered her eyes and remained silent under the gaze of everyone.

Bao Zheng knew that Xiao Ai and Shen Liang had a good relationship, and he didn't expect Xiao Ai to identify Shen Liang. He looked at Xiao Ai and continued:

"That day Chuchu came back and told me that Xiao Ai was kidnapped. After she came back, neither you nor Xiao Ai mentioned reporting it to the police. I can understand that you didn't dare to report it to the police. Maybe someone threatened you with Xiao Ai and you had to kill the Seventh Prince. You were afraid that reporting it to the police would lead to a chain reaction. But what about Xiao Ai? Don't you find it strange that she, the victim, pretended that this incident never happened?"

When Shen Liang heard what Bao Zheng said, he realized that what he did might not be hidden from Xiao Ai. He just didn't know when Xiao Ai discovered his identity and why she didn't expose him.

He suddenly looked up at Xiao Ai, his eyes full of surprise.

Xiao Ai and Shen Liang looked at each other, with a complex emotion in their eyes that was difficult to understand.

Shen Liang knew Xiao Ai. The moment he looked into her eyes, he realized that Xiao Ai had known his identity without him knowing when.

But her attitude towards him remained the same and never changed. Her feelings were never fake, but he hid many things from her.

In this relationship, he was always the one who owed something.

Realizing that he could no longer hide his identity, Shen Liang suddenly smiled with relief.

What he worried about most was that Xiao Ai would no longer accept him after knowing his identity, but now this worry is gone.

But he also realized that he was in a bad situation. He was facing not only the people in the house, but also the Korean soldiers around the posthouse.

Shen Liang knew he was doomed, so he stopped looking at Xiao Ai and turned to face Bao Zheng calmly, "Bao Zheng, you are right. I killed the Seventh Prince and even the Crown Prince. The purpose was indeed to provoke a war between Goryeo and Song as you said. But it is nonsense that Xiao Ai knew my identity. She didn't report it to the police because I told her that she was kidnapped for a day and a night. If it got out, people would doubt her innocence. This fool believed it and believed everything I said."

When Xiao Ai heard Shen Liang say this, she realized that his real purpose was to protect herself. Her eyes were immediately filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry, which was very pitiful.

Chuchu, who was beside her, saw her sad look and thought that Xiao Ai was hurt by Shen Liang's words and felt unfair for Xiao Ai.

"How could you do this to Xiao Ai? Not only did you not help her get revenge, but you also forbade her to report it to the police!"

"Hahaha, why can't I do this to her? I married her just to hide better in Song Dynasty! To conceal my identity! You don't think I really love you, do you?"

Shen Liang said the last sentence to Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai knew that he was lying, but she still felt hurt inside and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

Shen Liang saw Xiao Ai crying and moved his toes slightly. He almost couldn't control himself and wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her. Afraid that his subconscious actions would be noticed, he took advantage of the situation and drew his sword to hold the Gaoli princess hostage.

"Brother Shen! What are you going to do? Don't make the same mistake over and over again!"

Seeing this, Bao Zheng hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

Shen Liang was unmoved. Just as he was about to speak, General Gao Li pulled out a knife and put it on Xiao Ai's neck. "If you dare to hurt the princess, I will kill this woman. I don't believe you have no feelings for her at all!"

Shen Liang couldn't have imagined that even after doing so much, he still couldn't keep Xiao Ai out of it.

"Don't be impulsive!" Minister Cui asked General Gao Li and Shen Liang not to be impulsive.

Xiao Ai knew that if she did nothing, Shen Liang would probably still commit suicide. She didn't want him to die, so she had to give it a try. Of course, forcing her way in wouldn't work either. She had already discovered that the inn was surrounded by archers, and if she forced her way out, she would be shot like a hedgehog.

It can only be outsmarted.
