Anyone who tries to harm others, if they fail, always feels guilty and afraid of being retaliated against, so much so that they always forget that they were the ones who took the initiative to harm others in the first place.
This is what Jiang Songwen is like now. He has forgotten that he was the one who started the incident and that he was the one who wanted to kill the person. Now that he failed, he does not regret his original decision. He only blames Wei An and Shen Chen for not dying as he expected.
In front of Dong Chengqi was a bowl of ginseng tea. He had been feeling low in energy recently, so he asked someone to find some old ginseng to replenish his body.
Seeing that Jiang Songwen was still not very emotional, he raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, looked at him and reminded him: "Well, after all, they are just two children whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, but they can make you lose your usual composure like this. You must remember clearly who you are, how can you fall for these two children?!"
Dong Chengqi rarely spoke so harshly. After hearing what he said, Jiang Songwen immediately calmed down, sat on the chair and sneered.
"Kid? They cut off several of my sources of income at the beginning. If they hadn't been so relentless in their pursuit and insisting on catching Lu Yuanrong and the others, would I have bothered with them and taken such an extreme approach?" He picked up the tea with a cold look and drank a cup in one go, then laughed again: "Don't underestimate them, especially Shen Chen, he is a wolf that eats people."
Dong Chengqi also curled the corners of his mouth and said "oh" without taking it seriously. He certainly knew that Shen Chen was a wolf and he also knew that he was difficult to deal with.
But now I have provoked someone who I shouldn't have. Now that I have provoked him, there is no reason to be afraid.
He lowered his head to look at his nails, then looked at Jiang Songwen, and suddenly asked a question slowly: "Have you ever thought that it won't work if you just kill Shen Chen?"
Jiang Songwen was thinking about how to apologize to Emperor Longqing in a more sincere way. When he heard Dong Chengqi say this, he frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, even if you kill Shen Chen, it will be useless. At most, it will only bring temporary peace. But think about it carefully. How many times has the prince of Linjiang Palace come to you for Shen Chen's matter these days?" Dong Chengqi reminded him with a knowing smile on his face: "He and Shen Chen are no different from brothers. If something happens to Shen Chen and he knows that the real murderer is you, do you think he can let you go? Not to mention him, there is also the King of Linjiang, who is also a protective person. Over the years, you have seen how he treated Shen Chen. Can't you see through it? If Shen Chen dies in your hands, you will basically make enemies with the entire Linjiang Palace."
Dong Chengqi had not finished speaking, but he did not need to finish because Jiang Songwen had completely understood the deep meaning of his words.
Yes, he is now trying his best to kill Shen Chen to cover up the evidence, and he wants Shen Chen and Wei An to stop investigating Lu Yuanrong and implicate him.
But the problem is that even if he killed Shen Chen, there was still the Linjiang Palace behind Shen Chen.
As long as Prince Linjiang gains power, he and his old man will not get any benefits.
The old man had enjoyed such a glorious life simply because he followed the right person. Emperor Longqing was a man who was easily influenced by others. The old man worked diligently, seeking a little money and profit, but never dared to have any other thoughts, and never formed a clique for personal gain, so Emperor Longqing tolerated him and trusted him.
But what if someone else becomes the emperor
Prince Linjiang is the one with the most ideas. Jiang Zining is just the right person for Emperor Longqing. But if he is replaced by Jiang Zining, he will be useless. He will not be a help but a hindrance.
Will King Linjiang allow him to exist
The situation was already worrying, and if the revenge for the murder of Shen Chen was added, then their Jiang family would probably be completely ruined.
Jiang Songwen was so frightened by Dong Chengqi's words that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had already thought that Shen Chen was not easy to deal with, so he listened to Zou Qing and started with Wei An.
In fact, the old man also helped him a lot. At that time, everyone was basically happy to see Wei An injured. If Wei An had not died in the end and the murderer had not been found...
He threw the pen in his hand to the ground in anger, and felt a splitting headache: "According to what you said, then I have no choice but to die?!" He sneered and said in self-abandonment: "That's right, didn't everyone who went against them die? From King Cheng to Liu Biping, as well as Xianrong County Lady and Li Gui Niang, which one of them didn't end up in disgrace and die miserably?! That little girl is a disaster star sent from the sky. Anyone who goes against her will have a bad end!"
He was so angry that he lost all his rationality and even said such words. Dong Chengqi looked at him with some regret: "Who told you to sit and wait for death?"
Jiang Songwen is a good person in every way except that he cannot control his emotions. Once he gets angry, he will do whatever he wants and cannot think clearly about anything.
At this moment, he felt that his mind was a mess and he couldn't figure out anything. Hearing Dong Chengqi say this, he asked impatiently: "Then what other solution is there?"
Dong Chengqi knew his temper and didn't argue with him. He sighed and said, "You are too impatient. The matter has not yet come to an end, and the winner has not yet been determined. If you are so impatient, how can you continue to fight this battle?"
Jiang Songwen finally calmed down and calmed down after a while. He asked him calmly, "Now that Shen Chen knows it's me, what do you think he will do next?"
"Of course he is looking for your faults." Dong Chengqi thought without hesitation: "You have been the Minister of Works for so many years. He knows with his toes that you must be related to the previous things, so he attacked them. Since you have already taken action, he wants to retaliate against you, so naturally he wants to find your faults. After all, let's not talk about other things first. You have already passed the test with the emperor. No matter whether the emperor believes that you did not do it, the emperor has no intention of punishing you. This has already explained a lot of problems, at least it means that the emperor does not want to touch you now. Since the emperor does not want to touch you, it would be unreasonable for Lin Sanshao and Shen Chen to hold on to you. If the crime of murdering the princess cannot be brought to your head and cannot be used to bring you down, then they will naturally think of ways to bring you down. Are you really clean?"
Jiang Songwen sneered.
He made money by relying on Lu Yuanrong and others. He didn't touch these things because he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of them. Now if Shen Chen and others want to use this to cause trouble for him, it will not be easy. (To be continued)
