Neither Shen Chen nor Young Master Lin paid any attention to him.
When the Sixth Prefect of Baoding, who was notified by Lou Bing, arrived with a lot of trouble on his head, Young Master Lin asked him to deal with these people properly and seal off the Dong family.
The six adults did not dare to be negligent and responded promptly.
He knew that Dong Siyuan's background was not simple, so he had always kept his distance from Dong Siyuan. But now Dong Siyuan had offended the Jinyiwei, and he was not a fool. He knew that Dong Siyuan's career might have reached the end of its career, and of course there was no reason for him to help Dong Siyuan.
Therefore, he immediately ordered people to search the Dong family's house from top to bottom, and only after confirming that everything was correct did he let his subordinates seal off the mansion.
He then asked Lin Sanshao and Shen Chen attentively whether they were planning to stay at his place for a night: "The weather is cold, and there are few places to stay nearby. Why don't you stay at my humble abode for a night and make plans tomorrow?"
Young Master Lin refused, and in a rare good temper he spoke a few more words to him before sending him away.
Then he immediately went to see Wei An.
Dong Siyuan really wanted to kill Shen Chen and Wei An. If he hadn't arrived in time, even if Shen Chen had subdued Dong Siyuan, it would be hard to say what would have happened later.
Therefore, he couldn't help feeling scared whenever he thought about it.
But Wei An remained calm.
Having faced life and death so many times, Wei An did not think this time was anything special. Instead, when he saw Third Young Master Lin coming, his first reaction was: "Why is Third Young Master here?!"
She asked this question quickly and urgently.
In fact, when Han Bo was rejoicing over the arrival of Young Master Lin, she already felt something was wrong.
As a Jinyiwei, Young Master Lin's appearance was really a coincidence.
Shen Chen also understood: "Aren't you investigating the case of Prince Jin recently? Even if the emperor asked you to investigate Zhao Er's case later, he also asked you to assist the Ministry of Justice in the investigation. Why did you come to Baoding?"
Young Master Lin told the truth and had no intention of hiding it from them: "Someone sent me a letter."
Sent a letter
Shen Chen immediately asked: "What letter?"
Young Master Lin glanced at Lou Bing, who then took out the letter from his pocket: "It's this one, it says that you and Princess Shouning are in danger..."
That he and Wei An are in danger
Prince Zheng and the old lady both knew that he came to Baoding Prefecture with Wei An.
But neither of them could possibly know what had happened to them in Baoding Prefecture.
They didn't even have time to write back to tell others about their recent situation.
That is...
Shen Chen coldly crumpled the paper into a ball and sneered, "It's Chu Jingxing."
Chu Jingxing
Wei An and Young Master Lin looked at each other, and after a moment they both understood Chu Jingxing's intention.
He probably knew everything Wei An and Shen Chen did, and had been passing messages to Dong Siyuan.
But why would he inform Young Master Lin when Dong Siyuan clearly had the upper hand
If we notify Young Master Lin to come over, then all the previous efforts will be wasted - once Young Master Lin shows up, no one will be able to touch Wei An and Shen Chen from his hands.
Chu Jingxing was so scheming that it was impossible for him not to know this, but he still informed Young Master Lin.
Why
Young Master Lin obviously had the same question.
Still, Shen Chen laughed without warning.
He turned around to look at Wei An and Lin Sanshao, and asked Lin Sanshao in a deep voice: "Has anything happened in the capital in the past few days?"
Young Master Lin hummed, and without the slightest hesitation, he told Shen Chen and Wei An: "A minister has written to the emperor, suggesting that His Majesty appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to rectify the government."
Appoint a crown prince?!
Establish a crown prince...
Emperor Longqing had long been troubled by the issue of appointing a crown prince.
Of course, in his heart, he hoped to make the Fifth Prince the heir. After all, the Fifth Prince was the most like him and was the youngest son. He had always been very close to him for many reasons.
But of course the ministers wanted to establish the eldest son as the heir.
Knowing this, he had never mentioned the matter of appointing a crown prince, wanting to delay it until the child was older. Furthermore, the Fourth Prince was already ill, and if he fell ill again in the future, he could use this reason to openly reject the ministers' suggestions to appoint the eldest son or the legitimate heir.
After all, how could a ruler of a country have such a big flaw
But it was at this time that the people below proposed to enthrone a crown prince.
At this time, the Fourth Prince's illness had not yet become known to the world, and everyone still remembered that the Fourth Prince was the reincarnation of the Eldest Prince.
Although Emperor Longqing later punished the people who put forward this view, including those from the Imperial Observatory, he did not say it explicitly, and many ministers and people thought that he agreed with this view.
Since Emperor Longqing himself did not directly refute this statement due to various concerns, it is natural that people believed it to be true.
Considering this point, the call for establishing a fourth prince is the highest.
Even the Feng family got involved, saying that this was destiny.
For a while, Emperor Longqing was overwhelmed by these things.
Shen Chen and Wei An looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they asked, "Anything else?"
"There is one more thing." Young Master Lin put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the moon in the sky: "Prince Jin has rebelled."
The King of Jin really rebelled.
Although it had been known for a long time that Prince Jin would rebel, the court was still shocked when they actually heard the news.
The Prince of Jin's manifesto was written with impassioned words, and in fierce words he accused Emperor Longqing of not being qualified to inherit the throne. After inheriting the throne, he eliminated dissidents, executed meritorious officials, caused constant disasters in the world, and many people were displaced, making him unfit to be a king.
Therefore, he raised an army to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
When this manifesto came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Emperor Longqing was extremely angry and he urgently convened the cabinet that night to discuss how to destroy the rebels.
With these two things combined, Emperor Longqing is now extremely furious and on the verge of exploding at any time.
Wei An paused, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looked at the account books, and suddenly asked: "What if the emperor finds out about the relationship between Young Master Lin and the Linjiang Palace?"
What then
Shen Chen and Young Master Lin looked at each other, and both of them got goose bumps all over their bodies.
If Emperor Longqing discovered at this time that the Linjiang Palace had a close relationship with Young Master Lin, then, on the verge of rage, Emperor Longqing would definitely order the killing of Young Master Lin without hesitation, or even destroy the Lin family, and even Concubine Lin Shu would be implicated.
The Prince of Linjiang will also be labeled as ambitious and having ulterior motives, and will be ordered to be eliminated by the furious Emperor Longqing.
In order to survive, King Linjiang sacrificed the lives of Young Master Lin, Shen Chen and even Chu Jingwu. Could he really bear this
He was prepared to rebel.
This only accelerated the process of his rebellion.
Step by step, one thing after another, Chu Jingxing's scheming is so deep and his thoughts are so thorough, there is nothing he has not calculated!
Even Young Master Lin was frightened by this and sneered, "It's really a good plan."
