When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

King Dongshan: "You pushed it cleanly!"

No one can believe such a statement. All the bad things were done by the Ninth Prince, but the gold was locked in the private vault of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Who are you trying to fool?

Chen Jin frowned and asked, "Fourth Prince, I will ask the Emperor to order the interrogation of Ninth Prince, but if he denies it, do you have evidence to prove that he did all these things?"

The fourth prince showed that clear and ignorant look again and asked:

"How could he not admit it? It was obviously him who did it. He hired all the secret guards and assassins. I just gave him a few boxes of gold as a reward."

It's a capital crime! Who can easily admit that they committed a crime? Don't they want to live?

Chen Jin: "Can you have a written evidence, or a witness?" No matter how dumb you are, you should at least have some means to save your life...right?

The fourth prince shook his head and explained seriously:

"Laojiu is very cautious and never uses letters. He said he was afraid that someone would intercept the letters and reveal the secrets. So he always came to me to discuss things face to face, and he never allowed anyone to be around when he was talking to me."

Haha! There is no evidence to support this statement.

Talent! Is this possible?

Can you believe this?

Chen Jin continued to ask, "Then how did you give him the gold? You can't do it by yourself, right?"

The Fourth Prince said as a matter of course: "It was the Ninth Prince who sent a car and people to my house to take it directly." And in order to conceal their tracks, they were all in disguise.

Prince Dongshan couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know whether he was laughing at the Fourth Prince's stupidity or at himself for almost dying at the hands of this fool.

Anyway, this smile looks quite pitiful and makes people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Jin was speechless. He felt so tired looking at the Fourth Prince's dead look that said "I've already told you, what else do you want?"

Chen Jin: "Where did you get the mineral vein map?"

The fourth prince stammered:

"I have a concubine named Su Lanxiang in my house. Her ancestors were good at prospecting for minerals and kept this map privately. Later, by chance, she became my concubine and presented this mineral vein map to me."

Prince Dongshan raised his eyebrows slightly. This was unexpected. He thought it was a private gift from his father!

She turned out to be an inconspicuous concubine, what a coincidence!

Chen Jin looked at him and nodded.

Someone was sent to the Fourth Prince's residence to bring Lanxiang to the Dali Temple for questioning.

Chen Jin: "How did the Ninth Prince know that you had the mineral vein map? Did you take the initiative to find him, or did he take the initiative to find you?"

The Fourth Prince: "Laojiu has been with me since he was a child. I got the mineral vein map and wanted to go to the border town to have a look myself, but Laojiu said that it was a wild place with a bad climate, so I didn't want to go. So I gave the mineral vein map to him and asked him to go instead of me."

Chen Jin widened his eyes and said in disbelief:

"You're so confident in handing such an important thing over to someone else?"

This thing is, at the very least, countless wealth, and at the most, a huge crime. Giving it to others is equivalent to handing over your own life and property.

The fourth prince curled his lips and said, "Old Nine's mother is only a beauty, of low status, she doesn't dare to play tricks with me, she hopes to gain the greatest benefit by assisting me.

Now that he is valued by the emperor, he has to work for me wholeheartedly! There is nothing to worry about."

The fourth prince's mother was the favorite concubine of the late emperor and she was promoted to the position of noble concubine, which was indeed a very high status. Therefore, the fourth prince also received a lot of favors from the late emperor.

Although the late emperor had several favorite concubines, the Fourth Prince always believed that he was the prince most valued by his father. It was unknown when the late emperor gave him this illusion.

Anyway, the Fourth Prince has a strong sense of superiority and has often competed with other princes since he was a child.

What he loved to do most was to bully and ridicule the princes born to concubines of lower rank.

He's a very unpleasant kid!

But the strange thing is that the Ninth Prince has been standing beside the Fourth Prince like a little tail.

Perhaps it was to avoid being bullied by him, or perhaps he could gain some benefits by staying by his side. In any case, the Ninth Prince was inseparable from the Fourth Prince from childhood to adulthood.

Chen Jin: Is there a possibility that they may not be as useless as you think?

The Ninth Prince can do it, so why should he rely on the Fourth Prince?

Looking at the Fourth Prince with an expression that said "I was born to be stronger than the Ninth Prince", Chen Jin felt sorry for him.

The Ninth Prince only appeared in your mouth and you were not left with any evidence. Why are you still so proud?

King Dongshan suddenly asked, "How many times have you been to the border town?"

The Fourth Prince has given up completely. As long as Prince Dongshan is not allowed to take action again, he will answer any question.

"I've been there twice. The first time I saw the gold being mined was when Lao Jiu said the gold mine was discovered by General Chen's son, and he asked me to go and deal with him."

He speaks as if he is very powerful and all problems can be solved as long as he shows up.

King Dongshan asked: "Oh? Then how did you deal with it?"

The fourth prince still had that look of being number one in the world, and said smugly:

"I'll just show up and tell him that his Chen family has already bought shares in my gold mine, and that their children are all in my care, so I'm not afraid that he won't obey."

Using intimidation and inducement at the same time, how powerful!

Chen Jin raised his voice in shock: "General Chen is also in cahoots with you guys?"

The fourth prince retorted dissatisfiedly: "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by going along with the crowd? I give him so much gold every year, so it's okay for him to follow me and enjoy the best of life." I don't know how happy it would be to follow me.

Chen Jin still didn't believe it: "Are you talking about General Chen Jiangkuo from Border Town?"

The Fourth Prince: "Yes! I went to see him in person."

Chen Jin felt his legs go a little weak. If something happened to the person in the Border Town Army who was least likely to have any problems, it would be a real disaster!

He looked back at King Dongshan somewhat helplessly, and seeing that he didn't seem surprised at all, Chen Jin felt a lot more at ease.

I feel like King Dongshan knows a lot of inside information about this matter.

He continued to ask: "Fourth Prince, can you tell me how you bribed General Chen from beginning to end?"

The Fourth Prince rolled his eyes at Chen Jin, feeling that this Junior Official of the Dali Temple was a fool.

He said impatiently: "I have already told you that it was Lao Jiu who told me to go see General Chen and tell him that the Chen family is in league with us, and that their children were all captured by Lao Jiu. Of course I have to obey."

Chen Jin pinched his brows. He had to ask one by one: "Why is General Chen in the same group with you guys?"

The fourth prince: "The Chen family took my gold!" They spent my money.
