Xie Tingzhou got on the carriage first, then straightened up when he bent down to get in. He turned around and said, "Since it's late, I haven't come up yet."

Shen Yu forced herself to follow and got into the carriage, only to see Xie Tingzhou raise his hand and throw a set of clothes towards her.

Shen Yu quickly caught it and was startled when she saw what was in her hand. She immediately raised her head to look at his face.

Xie Tingzhou turned his face slightly to the other side, leaving Shen Yu with a cold side face.

She looked at the jailer's clothes in her hand and finally understood where his words "When will you learn to trust me" come from.

He wasn't here to stop her, he had already taken care of everything for her and paved a safer and smoother road.

Xie Tingzhou couldn't explain how he felt at this moment. He thought that after so long, she was already trying to believe her, but she still chose to fight alone.

Shen Yu touched the jailer's clothes with her fingers, from the rough material to the softness in Xie Tingzhou's heart.

Along the way, he helped her so much that it was difficult to express gratitude into one word.

She opened her mouth, but suddenly she didn't know what to say.

After a while, Xie Tingzhou said, "Change on first, Dali Temple is almost here."

Shen Yu came back to her senses. She was thin and put on the jailer's clothes. She looked much taller.

The carriage was so arrogant that it stopped before it reached Dali Temple.

Xie Tingzhou said quietly: "I'll wait for you where you are. Come out early."

Shen Yu: "Okay, an hour and a half, oh no, I'll be out in an hour at most."

Xie Tingzhou nodded slightly, and when she was about to open the curtain and go out, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

Shen Yu suddenly turned around and looked at her wrist, "What's wrong?"

"Let's talk when you come back." Xie Tingzhou said warmly.

Shen Yu didn't know what he was going to talk about, but her heart couldn't stop getting nervous.

Xie Tingzhou pinched her wrist lightly and said, "Don't be afraid. Everything has been prepared inside. Just follow them in."

Shen Yu nodded, got out of the carriage and looked back again, "Then...I'm leaving."

A smile appeared on Xie Tingzhou's lips, "Well, let's go."

Just ahead is near Gwanghwamun Gate

Shen Yu followed the jailer who came to meet him and showed her waist badge in front of the Yamen. However, Shen Yu couldn't help but look back at the palace alley and the darkness.

The carriage was no longer visible, but she felt as if there was a pair of eyes that had been watching her silently.

After being reborn, she felt so confident for the first time.

It was the time for the jailers to take turns. The guard at the door checked their badges and let people in.

As expected, Dali Temple sent more manpower, one person at three steps and one post at five steps, to defend Dali Temple impregnably.

If she decided to go on a night spree tonight, it would be difficult to see Ge Liangji without alerting the guards.

After entering the Dali Temple Prison, the guards inside became much more lax, probably because they thought that with the security outside, not even a fly could come in.

The jailer took Shen Yu to the door of a cell and whispered: "Brother, please forgive me, we can only go here. The key to the cell door is in our hands."

Shen Yu nodded and said, "Excuse me."

Ge Liangji did not sleep.

Tomorrow at noon would be when his head hit the ground. He leaned against the wall and thought, his life was not too bad, it was just that he overturned the car at the end of the day.

Hearing the voices at the door, Ge Liangji asked: "At this time, who else wants to take my life."

Shen Yu looked at the man in the prison, "I'm not here to take your life."

Ge Liangji tugged at the hem of his clothes and said, "Then you are here to ask the truth."

"No."

"What is that?" Ge Liangji asked strangely.

"You'll know when you see it."

Ge Liangji glanced towards the cell door. The light was dim and he couldn't see the person clearly.

I saw the man taking the torch from the wall and slowly approaching, and his face finally appeared in the light.

Ge Liangji rubbed his eyes and his expression suddenly changed, "You, you are Shen Yu! But haven't you already..."

"Just think of me as dead."

In fact, she and Ge Liangji had not met each other a few times. They only met two or three times when he met Shen Zhongan, so they were not familiar with each other.

Shen Yu put the torch back again, "I came here today to get an answer for my father and brother. I want to ask you for him, why did you do this?"

Ge Liangji lowered his head and said nothing.

Shen Yu said: "My father is an out-and-out military general. He has a straightforward personality and will not give in to others. The friends he considers are heart-to-heart friends. Obviously he is a heart-to-heart friend, but you are not."

Ge Liangji lowered his head and said nothing.

Shen Yu added: "I can't let their death be in vain."

Ge Liangji suddenly raised his head and whispered: "Auntie, I remember your father called you that. Even when a person is about to die, his words are kind. Listen to me, don't investigate this case anymore, just look into it further. If you go down, you will be killed."

"I am someone who has died once." Shen Yu said calmly: "Death is not so scary, only having an uneasy conscience is scary."

"Why are you as stubborn as your father?" Ge Liangji shook his head and said, "Isn't it good to live well?"

Shen Yu said: "I also want to ask you, can you rest in peace if you die without justice?"

Ge Liangji has aged a lot. He is obviously only in his fifties, but he looks like he is in his seventies or eighties.

"There is no one else, I said it in the book of sinners, it is all I do."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Shen Yu asked: "Do you think my father will believe it? In fact, I met Liang Jianfang before he died. He told me that there were other spies in the army who did not know each other, and you But you said it was him who colluded with the Xijue people. You are obviously lying."

"Tell me, Uncle Ge." Shen Yu held on to the cell door, "I beg you to tell me."

Ge Liangji looked at her, his expression moved for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, but he still shook his head, "I can't say too much, or in other words, I don't know as much as you think."

"There are three strategies in total. One is to collude with the Western Jue, and the other is to provide food and grass. I didn't expect that the first two strategies were resolved by you. Closing the city gate is the last resort, because once Shen Zhongan returns to Beijing, he has one hundred thousand troops. This matter will not be investigated. It’s impossible to stop the situation, and they can’t let him investigate.”

Shen Yu tightened her grip on the wooden railing, "What kind of hatred could make them be so cruel?"

Ge Liangji shook his head, "Maybe you were on the wrong track from the beginning? Maybe the reason why you killed Shen Zhongan in the first place was not for other reasons, but because some people wanted to protect themselves."

Shen Yu was stunned, but she didn't have much time to think. Ge Liangji continued: "I used my life and a secret to save the lives of more than a thousand members of the Ge family. It is worth it. No matter how much, I can't say more. Go underground and I will apologize to your father."

"But how can you guarantee that the other party will not go back on your word after you die?"

Ge Liangji suddenly smiled, "I left a life-saving charm for my children. Even if I die, as long as the life-saving charm is still there, they will not dare to act rashly."

Shen Yu wanted to ask again, but the jailer's voice suddenly came from the other end of the cell.

"Sleep, it would be nice if I had a knife to burn my mouth at this time."

Shen Yu frowned. This was the secret signal that the prison chief had said in advance, indicating that the situation had changed.
