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

Chen Jiangkuo didn't want to pay attention to his sophistry. Chen Sanye held his legs tightly and cried with tears in his eyes:

"Brother, my Liu Lang was captured by the Ninth Prince. I dare not disobey him. Really, you have to believe me, brother."

Seeing that Chen Jiangkuo was unmoved, he took out the letter from home and showed it to his brother.

The letter was written by Chen Jiangkuan's wife:

"I and the old lady attended the flower-viewing banquet at Lord Liu's house. During the banquet, a maid accidentally spilled tea on my clothes. The maid took me to change clothes, and when we were at a deserted place, I didn't expect that my child would be forcibly snatched away by them.

It was also stated that the child would be raised by the Fourth Prince. As long as General Chen was obedient, the child would be a companion to the Fourth Prince in the future. If the Chen family didn't know what was best for them, it was hard to say what would happen to the child. "

What follows is Chen Jiangkuan’s wife’s earnest request to her husband to rescue their son.

What the Fourth Prince and his men are doing is a naked threat, like a sword hanging over their heads, which may fall at any time.

Master Chen San has five daughters and only one son. This son is now in the hands of the Ninth Prince, who is using him to control the Chen family.

Chen Jiangkuo didn't want to pay attention to him, but now he was caught in the whirlpool.

At that time, General Chen still wanted to use his own means to free himself and his brother from the control of the Ninth Prince and the Fourth Prince.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Chen San was such a bad teammate.

General Chen pretended to compromise, but in fact he had not given up.

While General Chen was trying hard to break the impasse, Master Chen San brought his men to personally wipe out the entire patrol camp, because someone among them might have discovered the secret of the mine.

When General Chen found out, he was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He shouldn't have been so optimistic.

He should be killed with one sword!

Chen Jiangkuan successfully dragged the Chen family into an irretrievable situation.

One wrong step and one wrong step!

Now he urgently wanted to arrange for someone to warn the emperor in the capital, and strive for them to confess their guilt voluntarily in order to reduce the punishment for the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince and his men had already planted people in the military camp, and most of the people he sent out were killed, and basically lost their lives before they even left the border town.

General Chen had no idea how many people in the army had been bribed, and he was having a hard time moving forward.

When they placed the head in front of General Chen, he almost went crazy.

They just want him to feel guilty and understand that he can no longer escape control.

Coupled with the drag of Master Chen San, General Chen's breakout plan completely failed. They carried out a large-scale purge of unstable personnel in the army and killed many people.

Later, the situation got out of control, and many people took up arms to protect themselves, which led to a mutiny in the army.

Many people didn’t know why they were killed, nor did they know why they were killed. The entire border town military camp was in chaos.

General Chen's heart sank to the bottom. Their Chen family had lost the opportunity to confess to the emperor.

He completely became a pawn in the hands of the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

To make matters worse, the woman he slept with became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was taken away by the Ninth Prince.

Also became a hostage.

General Chen was unwilling to be controlled, but once he resisted, his good brothers or comrades around him would be killed. The more people he killed, the more guilty he would feel.

In order to avoid committing the sin of killing again, he dared not resist again.

They could only provide them with cover. The gold mine in the border town was opened right under the nose of the military camp, but no news of it leaked out.

General Chen also explained that the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince not only mined gold, but also an iron mine, which was located in a relatively remote area, so it had not been discovered.

As for how much iron was produced, he didn't know.

General Xiao did not show any surprise, because at that time King Dongshan had reminded him that there seemed to be iron mines in the border town and asked him to look for them.

Although he didn't find it, when he was interrogating the manager of the gold mine, someone confessed about the iron mine, so they later found the iron mine based on the confession.

Although they had taken control of the iron mine and surrounded it with troops, they still had no idea where the mined iron was transported.

However, General Xiao would not tell General Chen about this.

Old General Xiao sighed, and it was not known whether he was sighing for the Chen family or for those restless princes, or perhaps both.

This incident was caused by the disunity within the Chen family. Otherwise, even if they were plotted against, they would have had the opportunity to seek help from the capital, and the emperor would definitely not be too harsh on them.

But they missed the best opportunity, which led to a passive situation later.

If the subsequent mutiny had not been suppressed by General Xiao, it would have probably given the foreign countries who were eyeing it covetously an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Under the current circumstances, it is hard to say whether the emperor will forgive the Chen family.

I'm afraid even Concubine Chen will be implicated.

After all, the former dynasty and the harem are closely connected, and they prosper together and suffer together!

It’s a pity for the Chen family!

Defeated by the uneducated third master of the Chen family.

One rat droppings spoiled the whole pot of porridge!

It is somewhat believable to say that General Chen was coerced, but the Third Master of the Chen family... I'm afraid he was willing to work for the Fourth Prince and his men.

After all, he actually got the real money. If he wants to enjoy a life of luxury but has no ability, he will have to sell his conscience.

A loving mother has many failed sons!

If General Chen were still alive, this matter would never have developed into the current unmanageable situation.

General Xiao said: "I will tell the emperor everything you said today word for word. As for whether you will be punished, it is up to the emperor to decide.

The Chen family and Concubine Chen will probably be implicated, so you should be mentally prepared."

General Chen closed his eyes in pain, but it was too late to regret.

His legitimate son is smart and studious, his daughter-in-law is virtuous and filial, and his elderly mother and other relatives in the family will all pay the price for his stupidity. He is so heartbroken that he wishes he could die immediately.

I really feel ashamed to face my relatives who are of the same clan and clan.

General Chen lay on the table and cried bitterly. General Xiao reached out his hand to comfort him, but he knew that any words of comfort would be pale and powerless now.

As for the Chen family, it would be such a loss if so many generals of the same family were to die here.

General Xiao waited until Chen Jiangkuo had almost finished venting his anger, then asked:

"Did not a single one of the messengers you sent to the capital escape? Did the Ninth Prince bring back the heads of all the messengers?" If even one person slipped through the net, the nature of the matter would be different.

Then it can be concluded that it was General Chen who asked for help, which at least shows that General Chen is not on the same side as the Fourth Prince and his men.

They had reported the incident, but Kyoto had not responded in time, so the fault would not have fallen entirely on General Chen. In that case, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

General Chen wiped his tear-stained face with his sleeve and said in a calm voice:

"That's not the case, but no one from Kyoto came to support us later, and not a single messenger came back."
