The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 176 Contradictory Sense

Gu Mu looked at Shen Chao's face full of hope.

Presumably he would never have guessed until now that it would be his own sister, Shen Ling, who tied him here and imprisoned him.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Gu Mu's mouth.

At this time,
Before Shen Chao could speak, he swallowed it down his throat in an instant.
His mouth was open and his face was frozen—he was imprisoned here, out of the sun, and monotonous, so that he couldn't turn his mind for a moment.

But as smart as he is, he immediately realized that he was just a courtier, even if he was gifted, he was far less important than His Majesty.

If His Majesty is worried about his safety and wants to save him, His Majesty will definitely not come in person.

Then, there is only one possibility for His Majesty to appear here.

That is, he was kidnapped by His Majesty.

Shen Chao quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind, and then a look of innocent fear appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, this place is not safe, you should leave quickly."

He looked like he was thinking about His Majesty's safety.

But——because Gu Mu had acquired the "golden eyes" before, it was easier for him to spot some details and thus distinguish green tea.

Therefore, the slight stiffness of Shen Chao's face just now did not escape Gu Mu's eyes.

"You're not good at acting, little brother, you already guessed that it was me, so why are you pretending?" Gu Mu leaned against the iron gate leisurely.

Shen Chao is not Shen Ling,
He doesn't have the treatment of "I will do my best to perform as I should cooperate with you".

"..." Shen Chao: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged...Although I guessed that it was Your Majesty, it is not safe for Your Majesty to stay far away from the capital. For His Majesty's sake!"

"What do you mean, I wronged you?"

"I...don't dare... I blame the minister for doing something that His Majesty misunderstood. I am willing to show my heart to Your Majesty!"

"Isn't it because I wronged you?"

"I... I know I was wrong..."

Shen Chao lowered his head, struggled inwardly, and finally said.

"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" Gu Mu got a satisfactory answer, changed his posture and leaned against the iron gate, and asked leisurely.

"..." Shen Chao: "..."

"Why don't you speak? Could it be that you were just perfunctory in admitting your mistake?"

"My minister is terrified, my minister is sincere to His Majesty, how dare I perfunctory!" Shen Chao opened his mouth, his tone was sincere, but his heart was powerless.

"Then you said you were wrong just now, and you didn't say where you were wrong?" Gu Mu looked at Shen Chao's expression that was gradually cracking, and forced a smile.

"Chen...Chen said..." Once again, Shen Chao spoke with difficulty.

Shen Chao, who was hung on the cross, had deep doubts in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and finally, with difficulty, said with difficulty: "Chen...Chen..."

"I shouldn't be so incompetent, being imprisoned in this dungeon, let Your Majesty's golden body come to this dungeon..."

Shen Chao thinks,

If Gu Mu continues to ask,

We must let him have a good attitude of admitting mistakes,

He probably...maybe...will just pretend to be dizzy...

All of a sudden, Shen Chao felt fortunate that he had so many wounds on his body and was stained with so much blood, which would make him appear more realistic by pretending to be dizzy.

Though he did treason,
But as long as he doesn't recognize,

As long as His Majesty can't produce any solid evidence,
Then he didn't do it.

Gu Mu's piercing eyes saw the big eyes inherited from Shen Chao's family, and began to narrow them bit by bit.

I knew immediately that this guy was going to pretend to be dizzy.

Gu Mu also decided not to beat around the bush: "You are now considered a missing person. Even if I torture you here, or imprison you here for the rest of my life, life would be worse than death, and no one would know."

Shen Chao raised his eyes slightly.

For so many days here, he has considered this possibility.

That's why when I saw Gu Mu for the first time just now, I was a little too excited.

"Let's show your cards. You set the fire in my bedroom, and you gave Ling'er bracelet to harm me. You want to plot against me."

Gu Mu said with a smile on his face, with a relaxed expression: "In this case, I might make your death easier."

"Otherwise, what you will face later may not be something you can bear."

On Gu Mu's face, there was a villain's signature smile.

But unfortunately, there is no villain value +1.

Hearing the conspiracy, Shen Chao's expression trembled, and his reaction was a little bigger than when he heard that he was killed just now.

Gu Mu quickly realized that,
Shen Chao is not afraid of death, even, he is not afraid of torture.

he was afraid,

It is the charge of treason,
Because treason will punish the nine clans.

"Do you care about your family?" Gu Mu asked immediately according to Shen Chao's slight expression.

Shen Chao raised his head in surprise, and glanced at Gu Mu.

From the conversation just now to now, he seemed to be in front of Gu Mu without any privacy, as if everything was seen through.

Maybe it's because he's been locked in a dungeon for a long time, and he hasn't interacted with people for too long, and his thinking and ability to control facial expressions are a little bit rigid...

Without waiting for Shen Chao to continue to defend, Gu Mu continued: "You know, the reason you are being held here is because I have already determined that you are plotting treason."

"So stop making unnecessary explanations."

"The reason why I didn't execute you immediately because I knew you were treasonous was because I didn't want to punish your nine clans for treason. The prime minister is my loyal subject and Ling'er is my queen. I don't want to execute you because of ignorance. Let the prime minister and Ling'er have a rift against me, and they can't trust each other, and let me finally take the step of killing them to be buried with you."

"I need evidence of your treason, so that they can understand my motives for killing you. So they have no complaints against me."

"Hand over the evidence of treason, and I will guarantee that your family will not die."

"Otherwise, after torturing you to death now, next time, I will use other charges to attack your family."

Gu Mu's tone was cold,

He wants to kill Shen Chao,

To kill so that the prime minister's family is grateful.

"If you kill me now, no one will know. You can kill me in secret." At this moment, Shen Chao finally gave up struggling.

Since death will always come, it is better to die peacefully.

"So, why should I believe you in your request?" Shen Chao raised his eyes.

Gu Mu guessed right, Shen Chao didn't care about his own safety.

It's strange, a person who is greedy for profit and wants to plot against him,
In fact, I don't care about my own life or death.
Instead, he cared more about the life and death of his family.

Gu Mu saw a trace of contradiction in Shen Chao.

After all, if the Shen Dynasty did not seek rebellion, his family would already be second only to the royal family in the Southern Dynasty.

Moreover, Shen Ling became a queen, and sooner or later she would give birth to a prince.

At that time, their family will go one step further.

Since he doesn't care about his own life and death, and has a position of power, why bother to plan all this?
