Seeing that Jia Lian's eyes were dull and dull, as if he were mourning for his heir, Jia Chen got angry and slapped him twice.
"Pah! Pah!"
The sound of the slap was particularly loud in the silent night.
oops!
Jia Lian was slapped so hard that his eyes flashed with stars, he shuddered and woke up.
But his distracted eyes refocused and fixed on Jia Chen's face. Jia Lian's eyes lit up and he cried loudly:
"Please, brother virtuous, please save brother Yu! Brother Yu has caused a huge disaster!"
Jia Lian suddenly felt that calling himself Brother Yu was so accurate. He was really stupid this time!
Absolutely stupid!
Seeing Jia Lian, a handsome young man, bursting with runny nose and tears, Jia Chen shook his head. If a lame man chooses a general, Jia Lian can be regarded as the most capable one among the children of the Jia family.
But when he encountered a problem, he became so panicked that he showed how incompetent the other Jia family members were.
Jia Chenti slipped Jia Lian's collar, put him on the bed and sat down, and asked:
"Besides Brother Lian, who else was present just now?"
Jia Lian pointed to the concubine huddled in the corner of the bed with a dejected expression and muttered:
"She was the only one present."
Jia Lian was embarrassed to say that this woman was his concubine. After all, she was the concubine he secretly raised without telling Wang Xifeng.
Jia Chen looked at the concubine and asked coldly:
"Tell me! Who ordered you?"
Hearing this, the concubine deliberately pretended to know nothing and said innocently:
"I don't know what the young master is talking about?"
Although she pretended to be pitiful, Jia Chen still saw a hint of cunning deep in her eyes.
She is lying!
Jia Chen pinched his concubine's neck and shouted coldly:
"If you don't tell the truth, do you believe I will strangle your neck?"
As soon as these words came out, the concubine shivered in fright. After hesitating for a moment with a struggling look on her face, she responded tremblingly:
"Master, spare your life! I say, I say! A few days ago, a masked man came. He gave me three thousand taels of silver and said that he would send a young master over tonight and let me sleep with him.
, will give me another three thousand taels."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian became furious.
It turns out that this bitch actually cuckolded herself for six thousand taels of silver!
Moreover, Jia Chen also found out.
This makes me lose face and feel ashamed.
"You're a frivolous bitch! Damn it!"
Jia Lian roared and cursed, it was because she wanted to make money and sold herself to the second prince Zhang Jinyu that she accidentally got into a conflict with Zhang Jinyu, and Zhang Jinyu died inexplicably in his own hands.
Hearing this, Jia Chen was also furious.
Since ancient times, adultery has killed people, and this statement is true.
Jia Chen took down a long sword hanging on the wall, threw it to Jia Lian, and said coldly:
"Brother Lian, what do you keep this bitch for? You should kill her with your own hands!"
Hearing this, Jia Lian trembled.
With trembling hands, he walked up to his concubine, closed his eyes and drew his sword.
The next moment, the concubine let out a scream.
After Jia Lian stabbed the concubine once, he was worried that the concubine was not completely dead, so he stabbed her twice more.
At the same time, Jia Chen walked to the yard, picked up a shovel, returned to the house and handed it to Jia Lian, saying:
"Brother Lian, go dig a big hole in the yard."
Jia Lian asked in astonishment:
"Why dig a hole?"
Jia Chen sneered and said:
"Of course it's used to bury corpses."
Jia Lian was startled for a moment, and then he realized that this was Shenjing City, and outside was Ningrong Back Street. Now the second prince Zhang Jinyu died in the house he bought, and he killed a concubine with his own hands. If anyone knew about this, then
He will definitely not escape death.
It was impossible to transport the body out. There were so many people outside that there was no place to dump the body.
For the current plan, we can only dig a hole in the yard and bury the two bodies.
The disaster was caused by Jia Lian himself. Naturally, the hard work of digging holes could only be done by him.
By the time Jia Lian spent more than three hours digging the hole, it was already dawn.
Jia Chen took a nap, and after waking up, Jia Lian dug the hole.
Jia Chen ordered Jia Lian to drag the bodies of the second prince Zhang Jinyu and his concubine into the pit and bury them.
It took Jia Lian nearly another hour to bury the two corpses.
Jia Chen asked Jia Lian to find a way to buy more caustic soda from outside the city, dissolve the caustic soda with water, dig out the soil where the corpses were buried, and pour the caustic soda on the two corpses.
Caustic soda can melt corpses and mask the smell of corpses.
After each watering of caustic soda, a layer of new soil should be covered on the alkaline soil to prevent others from seeing the clues.
Jia Chen told Jia Lian that he must not tell anyone about this matter, including Jia Lian's father Jia She, mother Mrs. Xing, his wife Wang Xifeng, and Ping'er.
Jia Lian vowed to agree.
Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This matter is not over yet. It is obvious that someone has set up a whole trap to deliberately let the second prince fall into Jia Lian's hands. Even if Jia Lian has a thousand mouths, he still can't explain clearly.
Therefore, Jia Chen simply asked Jia Lian to destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
But who is the person behind the scenes?
Jia Chen is determined to find out who is behind the scenes to prevent the other party from dealing with him and the Jia family again.
Two days later, in the Yangxin Hall of Daming Palace.
Emperor Chongrui looked anxiously at Qiu Chen, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and asked:
"Captain Qiu, can you find out the whereabouts of the second prince?"
Qiu Chen heard this and responded with a bitter face:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen and his men have searched all the streets and alleys of Shenjing City, but they still haven't been able to find His Highness."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongrui said nothing, but looked at Qiu Chen coldly.
Feeling the supreme pressure of Emperor Chongrui, Qiu Chen shuddered, knelt down quickly, and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, when the second prince left the palace that day, he specially sent away his personal guards. He probably wanted to go out alone to do something secretive.
I asked his personal guards, but I didn't find any useful clues, so Wei Chen had to lead people to investigate one by one, which inevitably made the progress slow."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongrui's face darkened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent, but Godless power swept out, like a flood.
Seeing this situation, Qiu Chen broke into a cold sweat and his back was covered with sweat.
In fact, Qiu Chen's martial arts skills were mediocre, and he used to be just a personal guard of Prince Zhongshun. It was through his relationship with Prince Zhongshun that he reached the position of Commander of the Imperial Guards.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was more than one Jinyiwei commander. In addition to Qiu Chen, Qinglong was also the Jinyiwei commander.
All the Jinyi Guards know that Qinglong is the most powerful person in the Jinyi Guards.
Qiu Chen's commander of the Jin Yiwei was a newly created position after Prince Zhongshun's management.
Qiu Chen's ability to do things was average. Emperor Chongrui thought he was very capable before, but now it turned out that he was mediocre.
In fact, Qiu Chen originally wanted to blame the matter on Qinglong, but it was a pity that Qinglong went to the border area on errands and was not in Shenjing City.
