Shen Chen was silent for a moment, then he hummed, "I understand."
Young Master Lin leaned back in his chair, feeling his whole body warmed by the charcoal fire in the room. He put down the cup in his hand and shook his head gently: "I'm afraid you don't know yet."
He said: "He plotted against me because he thought I would be a helper to you or Chu Jingwu. This way he eliminated dissidents and those who were not helping him. It can be seen that this is not the first time he has done it so smoothly. Since it is not the first time, will he do it to others? I think it is necessary to tell the prince about this matter and let the prince make the decision."
He did this for Shen Chen's own good. After all, Chu Jingxing and King Linjiang were father and son.
In the end, don't blame Shen Chen for the conflict between father and son.
Then Shen Chen was really wronged.
Shen Chen thanked him for his concern and reminder, and said softly: "I know what you mean, don't worry, my father has already written to me, and the secret agents in the capital all know that my father has withdrawn his seal of the prince, and he no longer has the right to ask about the affairs of the capital. Now he has violated his promise to my father and colluded with ministers in private, doing such a wrong thing, and blaming me, and trying to implicate you. My father will never tolerate him. When necessary, my father promised me that I can kill first and report later."
Execute first and report later, how can you have such great power
Young Master Lin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Since the prince trusts you so much, there is nothing to worry about."
This is true, the most important thing is the trust of King Linjiang.
Otherwise, if Shen Chen wanted to deal with Chu Jingxing, it would be difficult for him to move forward.
He put away the account book in his hand and asked him: "In that case, do you plan to redo these account books?"
But if we redo it, it might be too late.
The news of his coming to Baoding Prefecture will spread by tomorrow at the latest, and Emperor Longqing will know by then.
He had to rush back as soon as possible to report to the mission, and of course he had to take the account book with him.
There's only one night left, how can we make it in time
Seeing what Young Master Lin meant, Shen Chen touched his chin and said, "There's still time." He pointed to the pile of account books on the table and said, "Straightforward, there's nothing to do, just tear off the key pages."
Tear it off directly
Young Master Lin frowned: "The cabinet is full of old foxes, how could they not see that there is something fishy going on here?"
"Aren't you afraid that they will find out?" Shen Chen said succinctly: "Do you think they don't know? If they really don't know, then why can Dong Siyuan run rampant and dominate here? Who gives him the courage? There must be someone protecting him. How can the person who acts as this protector be stupid? This has passed through our hands. We have eliminated those who are not good for us, and they will definitely do something to eliminate those who are not good for them. In this way, no one dares to investigate what is missing. Now that His Majesty is in a mess, he has no energy to investigate and investigate."
This was the reason Chu Jingxing wanted to kill them.
While Emperor Longqing is angry, reveal the relationship between Shen Chen and Young Master Lin, so that Emperor Longqing will be furious and kill them.
Young Master Lin nodded slightly, studied the account book carefully, and then tore off the two key pages himself.
Only these two pages record the amount given to Chu Jingxing.
This means that Chu Jingxing did not get a share of the pie here in the past, and only started to get involved recently.
After doing all this, Lin Sanshao took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, and said softly: "It's getting late, why is there still no movement over there, is there anything wrong?"
Since Chu Jingxing was able to arrange people to monitor them, it is not certain that he would not continue to hunt down and intercept them after Dong Siyuan failed.
Their manpower is now scattered, and the most important thing is that they still have Wei An with them. If Chu Jingxing really disregards everything, there will be some trouble at that time.
Shen Chen also frowned with some worry, opened the door and said to Fei Li who followed him: "Go and pick up Xue Song and the others, why haven't they made any movement in such a long time?"
Fei Li bowed and replied. Before he had walked a few steps, he heard a noise in the post station. Han Bo rushed in and said, "My Lord and Princess, they are here. They have brought everyone back."
Wei An had just changed his clothes with the help of a young girl hired by Shen Chen, and was still wearing men's clothes. When he heard the noise, he opened the door and came out.
Tan Xi was seriously injured and had a big cut on his arm. Although it was simply bandaged, blood was still oozing out.
Wei An frowned suddenly, and immediately ordered Han Bo to get some medicine to bandage him and stop the bleeding, and then asked him, "Who hurt you?"
Dong Siyuan probably didn't leave any experts to deal with Tan Xi. All the main forces were transferred to deal with Shen Chen. Not to mention that scholar, he definitely couldn't hurt Tan Xi.
How could Tan Xi be injured so seriously
Tan Xi's face turned pale. He paused for a moment before saying, "I was careless and was ambushed."
ambush
Shen Chen and Lin Sanshao had just come out, and they heard what Tan Xi said. They asked in unison: "What ambush?"
"They are masters." Tan Xi glanced at them and said, "There are about ten of them, all of them are masters. They came directly for those people named Wen, and wanted to kill them to silence them. Zhao Qi and I have tried our best to stop them, but they still killed two of us. Zhao Qi was less injured than me, and he led the pursuers away. Now the Marquis's people have taken people to look for him, and we don't know what the situation is."
He belongs to Chu Jingxing.
Before this, Chu Jingxing's men had been waiting outside the Dong family's door, waiting to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Chu Jingxing really tried his best this time and sent so many people just to stop them.
Moreover, even those military households who might leak information were taken care of.
Is he showing off the manpower he has at his disposal
Wei An's eyes darkened, but soon returned to normal. He said softly, "I know everything. Don't worry, I will take care of it. You should have a good rest first."
Tan Xi responded and did not forget to tell her: "Don't worry, Princess. I have already settled the teahouse owner and his wife's family. The Marquis's people have gone to pick them up now. They should be fine."
Young Master Lin couldn't help but glance at Wei An.
He has always known that Wei An is a capable person, but he never expected that Wei An could really lead his subordinates so obediently and loyally to him. It seems that Wei An has mastered the art of commanding subordinates to perfection.
Wei'an didn't pay attention to Young Master Lin's gaze. He nodded slowly and turned to look at Shen Chen.
This one glance made her thoughts clear.
Chu Jingxing had provoked her again and again, and now he had even touched her relatives and hurt her subordinates like this. She would never tolerate this.
