Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 124 [124] Trick

Seeing that all his subordinates were unconscious, Catcher Yang was almost dumbfounded.

What kind of unpredictable method is this?

Catcher Yang didn't even see Jia Chen making a move, and his subordinates all fainted.

At this time, Catcher Yang was secretly startled, but also regretful. He really shouldn't have underestimated Jia Chen. Just now, he thought Jia Chen was a reckless man. Now it seems that he really has no eyes.

In addition to his high martial arts skills, this Jia Chen also has an astonishing strategy, which can be called both civil and military.

Among the descendants of the Jia family, such a remarkable young man has appeared. It seems that the Jia family will be prosperous in the future!

Yang Butou was terrified, he was here to deal with Jia Lian tonight, that is to say, he stood on the opposite side of Jia's family, and he was afraid that Jia Chen would not let him go.

Seeing that he was unable to escape, Yang Butou still felt a little lucky, and asked knowingly:
"Mr. Jia, we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in recent days. Why do you want to stun my subordinates?"

Jia Chen sneered and said:

"This is the end of the matter, so Catcher Yang shouldn't be hypocritical. If you tell the truth, maybe I can let you go. Tell the truth, who ordered you?"

As soon as these words came out, Catcher Yang trembled in fright.But he quickly put on an innocent look and asked blankly:
"Why did Mr. Jia say that? I don't understand."

Jia Chen snorted coldly and shouted angrily:
"Yang Butou, if you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid that next year today will be your memorial day!"

Seeing that Jia Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, Catcher Yang didn't suspect at all that if he continued to lie, he might be killed by Jia Chen.

I am afraid that my subordinates will also die.

This is a remote alley, and now it is after the curfew, there are no pedestrians on the road, so naturally there will be no witnesses.

In other words, if Jia Chen killed himself and his subordinates at this moment, the murder case might never be solved, and Jia Chen could get away with it.

Thinking of this, Yang Butou dared to continue to hide it, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, he confessed truthfully:
"Returning to the son, the younger one was actually ordered by Kong Youde, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture."

After finishing speaking, Yang Butou was dejected, his face ashen.

Now he has nowhere to go, if Jia Chen lets him live, he will probably be retaliated by Kong Youde.

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, unexpectedly, the mastermind behind this incident was Kong Youde, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture?
Seemingly seeing through Yang Butou's worries, Jia Chen comforted with a half-smile:

"You don't have to worry about Catcher Yang. As long as you tell the truth, I will be able to bring down Kong Youde. By then, he won't be able to take revenge on you!"

Yang Butou was taken aback, unexpectedly, Jia Chen had already seen through all his thoughts.

It is not wronged at all to be planted in the hands of this young man with amazing resourcefulness and wisdom.

In fact, Jia Chen had already guessed a lot before Yang Butou opened his mouth.

This matter involved someone in the officialdom, so Jia Chen probably guessed the identity of the other party.

Not long ago, he was ordered by the emperor to go to Yangzhou City to rectify the administration of officials and punish the salt merchants, which offended a large number of people.

Why did he just return to Shenjing City when someone attacked the Jia family, trying to plot against Jia Lian, the eldest son of Rongfu.

The person behind this scene is probably in the same group as the magistrate of Yangzhou and other offending officials.It is also possible that Jia Lian was designed to murder Jia Lian after accepting a huge bribe from a salt merchant. "

Jia Chen reckoned that the reason why they didn't deal with him directly was because he was an imperial envoy. Even if he returned to Beijing and stepped down, as long as he had served as an imperial envoy, it represented the authority of His Majesty today. It is equivalent to dealing with His Majesty today.

Even if the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture had the courage, he would not dare to deal with him.

Therefore, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture set his mind on Jia Lian.

He wanted to frame Jia Lian and take revenge on Jia's family.

It's really bullying!
Jia Chen sneered:
"How did Kong Youde, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, order you?"

Hearing this, Catcher Yang showed hesitation, but now he has no way out, he can only hug Jia Chen's thigh tightly, hoping that Jia Chen can bring down Kong Youde, so he can only tell the truth:
"Master Kong summoned me alone and said that Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion had committed many crimes. He ordered me to lie in ambush here and arrest him and bring him to justice."

Jia Chen snorted coldly and said:

"You're really obedient. Whatever Kong Youde told you to do, do you just do it? Could it be that he made you eat shit, and you eat shit too?"

Yang Butou smiled wryly and said:

"A high-level official is crushing people. Master Kong is my superior. I dare not disobey his orders. Moreover, if this is done, Master Kong promises to give my subordinates two thousand taels of benefits. "

As soon as the words came out, there was a burst of exclamation around.

Jia Chen looked around and found that the comatose police officers had all woken up.

But they are still numb and unable to move, and they can only open their eyes at present.

When they heard that Catcher Yang confessed to tonight's conspiracy, the police officers were all shocked.

How is this going?

Why did his boss even say this?

Is it crazy?
Ignoring everyone's frightened eyes, Jia Chen snorted coldly and said:

"The magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture is really generous. He actually gave you two thousand taels of silver, which shows that his money came from wrong sources! Just based on this alone, I can bring down Kong Youde!"

Jia Chen really didn't talk too much, now that he is a fourth-rank imperial captain, he can enter the palace at any time, and as long as he reads Kong Youde, he can be brought down.

Jia Chen ordered Butou Yang to tie up all his men with ropes.

Finally, Jia Chen tied up Butou Yang again.

These people are all witnesses, which can prove that Kong Youde is the mastermind behind tonight.

After finishing it, Jia Chen frowned slightly. He had a premonition that what happened tonight was not trivial, and he didn't know what kind of trap Jia Lian had fallen into.

So, Jia Chen hurried to the door of Jia Lian's house, opened the door and entered.

The empty courtyard was eerily quiet, and the pale and dim moonlight cast a bleak frost on everything around.

The uneasiness in Jia Chen's heart became stronger.

As soon as he entered the door, Jia Chen glanced at the bed, and his pupils shrank immediately.

There was a man lying on the bed, it turned out to be the second prince Zhang Jinyu.

Jia Chen, as the fourth-rank imperial captain, met the second prince when he was on duty in the palace a few days ago.

Jia Chen has a photographic memory, and he remembered Zhang Jinyu's appearance after seeing him once.

There were blood stains on his nostrils and the corners of his lips.

At this time, Jia Lian's eyes were blank, and he sat down on the floor next to the bed with a face full of horror.

His concubine huddled in the corner of the bed, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face in her lap, and sobbed softly.

Jia Chen walked to the bed, stretched out his finger, put it under the nostrils of the second prince Zhang Jinyu, and breathed.

Oops!

I lost my temper!
Jia Chen grabbed Jia Lian by the collar, lifted him up from the ground, and asked:
"Second brother Lian, cheer up and tell me, what's going on?"
