Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 125 [125] The murder of the prince?
Seeing that Jia Lian's eyes were dull and dull, as if mourning a concubine, Jia Chen slapped him twice in a rage.

"Crack! Crack!"

The sound of slapping was especially loud in the silence of the night.

Damn!

Jia Lian was so pumped that stars appeared in his eyes, he shivered and woke up.

But the distracted eyes refocused and fixed on Jia Chen's face. Jia Lian's eyes lit up and he howled loudly:
"Brother Yu, please save brother Yu! Brother Yu has caused a catastrophe!"

Jia Lian suddenly felt that it was too accurate to call himself Brother Yu, and this time he was really stupid!

Simply stupid!
Seeing Jia Lian, a handsome young man with snot and tears, Jia Chen shook his head, if he were to pick a general among the crippled, Jia Lian would be regarded as the most capable among the Jia family's children.

But when he encountered a problem, he panicked like this, which shows how incompetent the other Jia family children are.

Jia Chen slipped Jia Lian's collar, sat him down beside the bed, and asked:
"Apart from Second Brother Lian, who else was present?"

Jia Lian pointed to the concubine who was huddled in the corner of the bed with a dejected expression, and muttered:

"She was the only one there."

Jia Lian didn't have the nerve to say that this woman was his concubine. After all, she was a concubine he secretly raised outside without telling Wang Xifeng, and the name was not right.

Jia Chen looked at the concubine and asked coldly:
"Say! Who ordered you?"

Hearing this, the concubine deliberately pretended to be ignorant, and said innocently:
"I don't know what the young master is talking about?"

Although she pretended to be pitiful, Jia Chen could still see a hint of cunning in the depths of her eyes.

She is lying!

Jia Chen grabbed the concubine's neck and said coldly:

"If you don't tell the truth again, do you believe that I'll just cut your neck off?"

As soon as this remark came out, the concubine trembled in fright, and after a moment of hesitation with a struggling expression on her face, she responded tremblingly:

"Master, spare me! I say, I say! A masked man came to me a few days ago. He gave me three thousand taels of silver and said that he would send a son over tonight and let me sleep with him. , will give me another three thousand taels."

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Lian was furious.

It turned out that this slut even gave herself a cuckold for six thousand taels of silver!
Moreover, Jia Chen knew about it.

This made him lose face and feel ashamed.

"You watery bitch! Damn it!"

Jia Lian yelled and cursed because she sold herself to the second prince Zhang Jinyu because she saw the money, so she had a conflict with Zhang Jinyu by accident, and inexplicably let Zhang Jinyu die at her 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:
"Second brother Lian, why do you keep such a bitch? You should kill her yourself!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian shivered.

With trembling hands, he walked up to the concubine, closed his eyes and drew out his sword.

The next moment, the concubine let out a scream.

After Jia Lian stabbed once, he was worried that the concubine was not dead, so he made up two more swords.

At the same time, Jia Chen went to the yard, picked up a shovel, returned to the house and handed it to Jia Lian, saying:
"Second brother Lian, go dig a big hole in the yard."

Jia Lian asked in astonishment:

"Why dig a hole?"

Jia Chen sneered and said:
"Naturally, it is used to bury corpses."

Jia Lian was startled for a moment, and then realized that this is the city of Shenjing, and the back street of Ningrong is outside. Now the second prince Zhang Jinyu died in the house he bought, and he himself killed a concubine. If this matter is known, then I will definitely die.

It is impossible to transport the corpse out, there are so many people outside, there is nowhere to throw the corpse.

For the current plan, we can only dig a hole in the yard and bury the two corpses.

The disaster was caused by Jia Lian himself. Naturally, the hard work of digging a hole can only be done by him alone.

After Jia Lian spent more than three hours digging the hole, it was already dawn.

Jia Chen fell asleep, 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 bodies.

Jia Chen told Jia Lian to find a way to go outside the city to buy more caustic soda, dissolve the caustic soda with water, dig up the soil where the corpses were buried, and pour caustic soda on the two corpses.

Caustic soda can melt the corpse and cover up the smell of the corpse.

After each caustic soda is poured, a new layer of soil should be covered on the alkaline soil to prevent people from seeing the clues.

Jia Chen told Jia Lian that this matter must not be told to anyone, including Jia Lian's father Jia She, mother Mrs. Xing, wife Wang Xifeng, and Ping'er.

Jia Lian swore to agree.

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, the matter is not over yet, it is obvious that someone set up a complete set, deliberately let the second prince fall into Jia Lian's hands, even though Jia Lian had a thousand mouths, he still couldn't tell.

Therefore, Jia Chen simply asked Jia Lian to destroy the corpse.

But who is behind the scenes?
Jia Chen is determined to find out who is behind the scenes, so as to prevent the other party from dealing with himself and the Jia family again.

Two days later, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Daming Palace.

Emperor Chongrui looked anxiously at the commander of the Jinyiwei, Qiu Chen, and asked:
"Captain Qiu, can you find out the whereabouts of the Second Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chen replied with a bitter face:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have led people to search the streets and alleys of Shenjing City upside down, but the Second Highness has not yet been found."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui didn't speak, but just looked at Qiu Chen coldly.

Feeling the supreme coercion 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 deliberately sent away his personal guards, presumably because he wanted to go out of the palace alone to do something secret.

I asked his personal guards, but did not find any useful clues, so Weichen had to lead people to investigate one by one, and the progress was inevitably slow. "

Hearing these words, Emperor Chongrui's face sank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent, but the power of God swept out, mighty and mighty, like a flood.

Seeing this situation, Qiu Chen broke out in a cold sweat, profusely.

In fact, Qiu Chen's martial arts skills are average, and he used to be just a personal bodyguard of Prince Zhongshun. It was because of Prince Zhongshun's relationship that he achieved the position of commander of Jinyiwei.

In Dazhou, there was more than one Jinyiwei commander, besides Qiu Chen, Qinglong was also the Jinyiwei commander.

All Jinyiwei knew that Qinglong was the person with the strongest martial arts in Jinyiwei.

Qiu Chen's Commander of Jinyiwei is a newly created position after Prince Zhongshun's management.

Qiu Chen's ability to handle affairs is mediocre, Emperor Chongrui thought he was very capable before, but looking at him today, he turned out to be mediocre.

In fact, Qiu Chen originally wanted to push this matter to Qinglong, but it was a pity that Qinglong went to the frontier on business and was not in Shenjing City.
