Chapter 27 The Truth

In fact, the Chen family had already secretly cooperated with the Yu family, intending to completely destroy the Zhen family.

The head of the Chen family did not tell anyone about all this, including his own son Chen Yu.

However, the mastermind behind the annihilation of the Chen family was Prince An.

Even if Prince An spared his life in the end, it was only because he saw that he was still useful, or perhaps just to satisfy his weird and evil taste.

In fact, that batch of military pay was hidden in the Chen family by Prince An so that he could take it out and use it whenever he needed it in the future.

When he first learned about this, Gu Junqing was also a little surprised. It turned out that Prince An had already started planning from that time, but due to a series of coincidences, Qi Yunjin, who was still the crown prince, finally ascended the throne.

She looked at Chen Yu. She had not moved since she finished reading the letter, and her face showed no sadness or joy.

But she didn't disturb him, letting him think it through, and then everything would be much easier to solve.

After a while, Chen Gang moved slightly, then raised his eyes and looked at Gu Junqing, who was supporting his face and looking at him quietly.

"I understand. Thank you, General Gu, for telling me the truth..."

Hearing this, Gu Junqing curled the corners of his lips slightly and revealed a faint smile.

Chen Yu found out that everything was planned by Prince An.

Regarding the smuggling of military pay, the Yu family first put the fuse on the Zhen family far away in Suzhou. At that time, the military pay was to be sent to the border, but it was robbed by an unknown gang on the way. The late emperor was furious, so when he heard that the trace of the military pay was in the Zhen family, he immediately issued an order and sent people to Suzhou for a thorough investigation that day! However, after searching the Zhen family for a long time, nothing was found, which made the late emperor even angrier. In addition, the head of the Yu family at that time fanned the flames and said in both explicit and implicit ways that the Zhen family had actually bought a lot of grain crops not long ago, so the late emperor was even more suspicious.

He also ordered people to investigate secretly, but Prince An, who was still a prince at the time, happened to be by the late emperor's side. When he heard the news, he immediately volunteered to join in the fun. The late emperor liked the child's cleverness and agreed.

After arriving in Suzhou, Prince An seemed very interested in this matter and kept staring at the Zhen family from time to time. However, he also pretended that he was suddenly tired of the house opposite the Zhen family and wanted to try the inn. So he stayed in the inn for a few days. However, on the third night, the Zhen family was brutally wiped out by an unknown team.

Prince An knew that he had made a mistake, so he pretended to give up and began to investigate seriously. On the one hand, he was looking for why the Zhen family was wiped out, and on the other hand, he was looking for where the military pay was.

At that time, Chen Yu felt very fond of the prince because of his amiable and humble behavior. In addition, Prince An was also polite and friendly to him, and he would come to comfort him from time to time. Chen Yu felt even more friendly to the prince, and they got along very well.

It gave him some comfort after losing his fiancée and best friend.

As a result, he became close to Prince An at that time. Of course, the head of the Chen family was very happy to see this.

However, after searching for several days, still nothing was found, which was very discouraging for Chen Yu at that time.

At that time, the head of the Chen family seemed to be very busy all day long, and no one knew what he was busy with.

Chen Yu had no choice but to tell Prince An about his frustration and dissatisfaction. After all, he was the only one who could communicate with him at that time. When the noble family children who were once on good terms with him heard that the emperor was investigating the Chen family, they hurriedly cut off ties with the Chen family.

However, these days did not last too long, because when he was with Prince An, the grain and wine cellar under the Chen family's basement was discovered by the then Shaoqing, and inside it also contained the military pay that the emperor had been looking for for a long time and had been stolen.

The Chen family was ordered by the emperor to hide the state's military pay and sell it. Their crime was serious and unforgivable. The next day, the whole family was executed, and not a single servant was spared!

And before the death of the head of the Chen family, he also dragged the Zhen family, which had already disappeared at that time, into disrepute.

The Zhen family was the mastermind, and the Chen family was just hiding the military pay.

But all the members of the Zhen family were dead, so this statement seemed a little strange, but it really ruined the reputation of the Zhen family.

After all, the Zhen family mansion had become an abandoned house back then, and there were rumors that it was haunted from time to time!

"I recruit"

Chen Yu lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and very low. Gu Junqing pursed her lips, her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Chen Yu for a while. Seeing that his face was gloomy and he looked very unyielding, she immediately turned around and left the cell.

There is nothing to sympathize with. There are so many poor people in the world. How can she sympathize with them all?

But she knew that it must be the red letter and the egret jade pendant that made him relax.

Shaking her head, Duan Jun had already packed up those things. She walked towards the cell exit.

After returning home, Gu Junqing didn't feel sleepy at all. After all, he had just said so much, and at the same time, he kept thinking about several other things.

She had no way of finding out how Zhen Qingyi, the eldest son of the Zhen family, had survived the massacre.

It remains unsolved to this day.

Also, if the people who destroyed the Zhen family were really from the Yu family, and why was the military pay hidden in the Chen family's basement, could it be that at that time, the Yu family had colluded with Prince An? Prince An really has a long-term vision.

However, the military pay was never successfully delivered to the border. After all, the people who delivered the military pay were Prince An's men. Although they did not embezzle all of it, they took away nearly half of it.

Her parents were still alive at that time, and when the military pay arrived at the border, many people felt as if they had seen hope, and her father was also happy.

However, in that battle, many soldiers starved to death and the army was almost defeated.

Gu Junqing lay on the couch, turned his head and looked at the half-open window.

At this time, the moon was hanging high in the sky, without a single star, and there were dark clouds all around, as if they wanted to cover the entire crescent.

She stared at the crescent moon for a long time, her eyes motionless, as if she was momentarily distracted.

The candlelight is still burning, and this night is destined to be a sleepless night. The Imperial Study in the Palace——

"The emperor needs to rest. Do you want someone else to serve him?"

Li Yuan stood not far from Qi Yunjin. Looking at Qi Yunjin who was looking up at the tip of the pen without saying anything, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"not necessary"

Qi Yunjin said, his voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time and he was staying up all night, but it also had a kind of inexplicable sexiness.

He raised his eyes and looked at the paper in the corner of the table, which was covered with dense handwriting.

Qi Yunjin took a glance and didn't want to look anymore.

Although it was easy to find out what happened between the Zhen family and the Chen family in Suzhou back then, it was quite complicated and troublesome to find them one by one.
