Spring Secrets

Chapter 844: Forty-four Silencing

Views:

Prince Linjiang soon learned from the court's bulletin that Shen Chen had disappeared in Dongchang Prefecture. He was so anxious that he submitted a memorial to the court requesting it to conduct a full investigation and also sent someone to investigate personally.

He has always valued Shen Chen.

Even though what happened to Chu Jingxing did not affect his feelings and judgment towards Shen Chen. He has always liked Shen Chen and treated him like his son.

Something happened to Shen Chen, and he was very anxious.

In addition to him, King Zheng also became anxious and angry - he was not anxious about Shen Chen, he was worried about Wei An.

He also received news from the capital. After knowing that Wei An and Old Lady Wei were also on the road, he knew that Wei An must be going to help Shen Chen.

But the trouble Shen Chen encountered this time was probably not a small one.

Being able to kidnap someone right under the noses of the Jinyiwei and Yulinwei requires extraordinary skills.

The most important thing is that the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture did not dare to delay and ordered a full search, but there was no trace at all.

They all knew it, and the imperial court knew it too, that this incident was most likely done by people sent from Fujian in order to prevent Shen Chen from cutting off their financial and livelihood sources.

But the court couldn't find any evidence.

King Zheng frowned, feeling a tightness in his chest, and asked King Linjiang: "Doesn't Shen Chen have so many confidants with strong martial arts skills? How come they also have no news at all?"

He couldn't find Shen Chen, and he knew his daughter's character very well, so how could he give up

But how dangerous is it to look for Shen Chen

He immediately went to consult with Prince Linjiang to discuss countermeasures: "It is most likely that Liu Biping was responsible."

King Linjiang also knew it, and his face looked very ugly. Liu Biping would not do useless work, and Shen Chen had offended him before. If it were him, he would definitely kill Shen Chen without hesitation.

Considering that it had been almost ten days since Shen Chen disappeared, his heart sank.

If everything was fine, there was no reason for Shen Chen not to write a letter to report his safety, but Shen Chen had been out of touch for so long that even Han Bo and others wrote back asking for help.

Prince Linjiang was in a bad mood. He couldn't come to a conclusion with Prince Zheng. He went to Concubine Yu in the backyard, but he was still upset.

Concubine Yu gave him a massage, patiently and gently, without asking any questions.

Prince Linjiang felt much better and sighed after a while.

It’s all because Princess Linjiang doesn’t like Shen Chen, so now that Shen Chen is in trouble, he has no one to complain to.

He rested for a short while and went back to the study room after a long time - something happened to Shen Chen, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, he had to discuss how to deal with it.

Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Shen Chen had never sent any letter back.

Shen Chen did not send any letter back, and neither did her people. The whole group of people lost contact together.

This made her realize that something must have happened, but she wasn't sure what it was.

Just as he was thinking this, Chu Jing'an came in and said to Concubine Yu as soon as he came in, "Yi Er and the others were indeed discovered by Wei An. You guessed right."

Concubine Yu looked at her son, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that Concubine Yu was calm, Chu Jingan knew that she had already made preparations, so he said to her, "Also, Wei An probably already knows the relationship behind him, and has not informed the authorities. He is just preparing to have Yi Er sent to our father."

Killing people is also unrealistic. The Wei family's network of relationships is not that powerful. Killing people will mean a lot more trouble. Therefore, Wei An chooses to send Yi Er back to King Linjiang to make the decision. At the same time, he also reminds King Linjiang that there is still unrest around him.

Concubine Yu's heart was tense, but soon she calmed down, knowing that since her son knew about it, he must have made preparations. She nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Yi Er originally wanted to hide the fact that he was caught by Wei An from us, but he was discovered, so he told us everything, saying that he told Wei An, and Wei An also knew where Shen Chen disappeared and the characteristics of the people we sent out." Chu Jingan knocked on the table, and his long, slender fingers looked very handsome. He tapped his forehead with his fingers, closed his eyes, and then opened them again and said, "But these are not very important, because Shen Chen is really missing."

Mother and son are connected by heart, and she quickly understood what her son meant: "Besides us, someone else chose to mobilize Shen Chen at that time."

Chu Jingan had a mischievous smile on his face, almost unable to hold back his laughter: "Yes, the timing is just right, and it's not just one force."

He said to Concubine Yu: "Shen Chen killed those people."

Concubine Yu was stunned.

She hadn't expected her son to change the subject so quickly. She couldn't keep up with the pace for a while. After waiting for a long time, she gradually reacted. She felt a lump in her throat before asking, "Are they dead?"

Chu Jingan nodded. Although he felt it was a pity, he was still more thankful that no more secrets were leaked. He said nonchalantly, "Shen Chen must have used their tricks to trick them into revealing the mastermind behind the scenes, but then he encountered an accident. He was chased, so he couldn't take care of these people. These people pestered him so much that he wanted to get away and prevent them from falling into the hands of outsiders. He knew that these people were closely related to the Linjiang Palace, so he killed them."

At that time, he was still so decisive and killed so many people.

This is enough to show Shen Chen's strength and how terrifying he is.

There was a reason why Chu Jingxing was so afraid of him in the first place.

Concubine Yu was silent for a moment.

Those people had been following her for a long time, and she still felt a little sad when she heard that they were dead. Although their death meant that all her previous worries would disappear.

She sighed, then frowned again: "If we let Shen Chen escape, he will come after us in the end."

Chu Jingan was not as worried as she was. He smiled and said, "Mother, that happened later. Even if he knew and wanted to cause trouble for us, he has no evidence. Yi Er has been settled by me. The others are dead. If he can't find evidence, he won't easily touch us. Besides, it's probably difficult for him to escape this disaster."

Concubine Yu didn't understand.

Chu Jingan simply made it clear: "Shen Chen is missing, and the people chasing him are not just one force. His current situation can be said to be full of dangers. In this situation, it is really hard to say whether he can survive."

It’s hard to say, because Wei An has already rushed there, and there will be many uncertain changes in the process.
