Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Jade pendant?" Shen Zhonghe looked at Shen Cha with a blank expression. When he saw her taking out a jade pendant, he asked in confusion, "This is..."

"You don't know about this jade pendant?"

"I don't know." Shen Zhonghe couldn't see clearly because he was far away. "I didn't know she left a jade pendant for Xiaobao. After all, we were separated when Xiaobao was very young. I don't know at all." He squinted his eyes again and said, "General, can you show me this jade pendant? I can't see clearly."

"Okay." Shen Cha waved to Mei Lin, handed the jade pendant to her, and asked her to show it to Shen Zhonghe. When she saw Meilin walking up to Shen Zhonghe with the jade pendant, she said, "This is the encounter between two mothers." After Xue Jieque snatched the child on the street, someone specially handed it to us in the middle of the night. She said that this jade pendant was left by Hui Niang to Xiaobao. She also left a message to Erniang, saying that if Xiaobao was harmed , especially the harm from Liang Jieque, let her take this jade pendant and give it to Xue Jieque. When she sees this jade pendant, she will know what to do."

Shen Zhonghe took the jade pendant from Mei Lin with both hands and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned.

"What? We still know each other, right?"

"The pattern on this jade pendant... seems a bit familiar, like I've seen it somewhere." He looked at the thing in his hand over and over again, and only when he saw it for the seventh time, he He patted his leg and said, "I remembered, this is..."

"What is it?"

"It belongs to my brother-in-law." Shen Zhonghe relaxed suddenly and almost dropped the jade pendant in his hand to the ground. He panicked and grabbed the hand of Merlin who was standing beside him, "Why... Why does Hui Niang have my brother-in-law’s jade pendant? She...could she be my brother-in-law’s daughter? "

"Whether she is your uncle's daughter or not, we don't know very well, but judging from the age of your uncle when he was killed and the age of Hui Niang, it shouldn't be the case." Shen Cha shook his head gently and watched as Merlin vigorously got rid of Shen Cha. Zhonghe took control and snatched the jade pendant back. "What we want you to see is actually the knotting method of this jade pendant. This is not the knotting method of Daxia people, nor the knotting method of those islanders, but the knotting method of the Japanese."

"Japanese?" Shen Zhonghe was completely confused, "Why Japanese? How could it be Japanese? You... don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Cha didn't argue with her, he just tilted his chin towards Ying Wu and motioned for him to get the things in.

Ying Wu nodded and left the tent. After a while, a tray was brought in and placed heavily on the table in front of Shen Zhonghe.

"Get up and take a look!" Ying Wu didn't talk nonsense to Shen Zhonghe. He directly lifted the person up from the ground and patted the table gently. "These are the things we captured from the Japanese. Look at the knots they made." , is it exactly the same as this jade pendant!"

Shen Zhonghe threw himself in front of the table and looked carefully at every accessory in the tray that had a distinct Japanese style. The more he looked at it, the more he felt sad and disappointed. He didn't need anyone else to point it out. He knew that Shen Cha You're right, these knots are the same as those on the jade pendant.

"So..." Shen Zhonghe slumped on a chair and looked at everyone in the tent with a decadent look on his face, "Is Hui Niang a Japanese?"

"No accident, it should be." Xue Ruitian reached out and patted Shen Zhonghe on the shoulder, "Master Shen, don't dream of returning to the south. You married an unidentified Japanese as your concubine, and gave birth to a child who was half Japanese. Children of blood have no chance in this life, do you understand?"

"But..." Shen Zhonghe was already crying with tears. He didn't know whether it was regret or grievance. Anyway, he was crying uncontrollably, but he said while twitching, "But this is not normal."

"What's abnormal? Isn't this normal?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Zhong and a grown man, a lot older, crying with runny nose and tears. He still felt pitiful and couldn't help but sigh, He winked at Ying Wu and asked Ying Wu to get him a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his face.

"If she is a Japanese, then why do those Japanese pirates attack her ship? Isn't this fratricidal?"

"They are killing each other!" Xue Ruitian spread his hands, "The Japanese country is not without factional struggles. You should also know that although they only have a small island, they can fight hard. Today he will be the king, and tomorrow he will be the king. It’s another person, isn’t it?”

"Yes, I have heard a little about this." Shen Zhonghe thanked Ying Wu who handed him the handkerchief and wiped his face with it, "But how did you know her identity? Although this jade pendant The knots on her are indeed a Japanese way of fighting, but it doesn’t prove that she must be a Japanese, right? It’s also possible that she is..."

"Did you bring someone here?" Shen Cha interrupted Shen Zhonghe and looked at Mei Lin, "Did you just invite her to the small tent next door?"

"Yes, she is already here. She heard everything we said here."

"Invite her in. It's time to reveal the truth about the doubts that have troubled Master Shen for many years." Shen Cha looked at Shen Zhonghe and smiled, "I hope you can hold on and listen to the whole story."

Shen Zhonghe didn't understand what Shen Cha meant, but he had a vague feeling that everything about Hui Niang would be revealed soon.

After receiving Shen Cha's order, Merlin walked out of the big tent, went to the small tent next door, and brought in the people who had been arranged there.

Although this person was blindfolded, Shen Zhonghe recognized who this person was at a glance.

"Aunt Liang?"

The person who came was not someone else, but Liang Jieque, who threatened to make the Shen family pay for their debts with blood and to kill Tuesday's mother and Xiaobao.

Merlin took off the black cloth from Liang Jieque's eyes. She covered her eyes with her hands and adjusted to the light before slowly opening her eyes. It took a long time before she could clearly see where she was.

When Liang Jieque saw Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha, she bowed to them gracefully and kowtowed to them.

"The civilian girl Liang Jieque has met Duke Zhenguo, Marquis Wu Ding, and the general!"

"Please get up." Xue Ruitian glanced at Mei Lin and asked Mei Lin to help Aunt Liang up, and then asked Ying Wu to move a stone bench, "Miss Liang, please sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Liang Jieque bowed slightly and sat on the stone bench. She turned her head to look at Shen Zhonghe, who had a shocked face, and sighed softly, "Xiao Man, why do you think you are suffering? Fei Do you want to get involved in this muddy water?"
