Chapter 89 Details

Chen Yu went to investigate the case with Prince An, but after several days, there was no clue at all. He was very discouraged. However, it was Prince An who encouraged and helped him from time to time, so that he would not be confused and incompetent anymore.

As a result, Chen Yu's respect and affection for Prince An grew even stronger. He was even a little self-righteous and thought that he could become Prince An's brother and mentor, even though Prince An was only one year older than him.

Chen Yu was confused by these illusions and didn't notice his father's increasingly panicked and frightened expression at all.

One day, he had just come back from outside and had not yet walked to the gate of the mansion, he saw a group of people gathered outside the gate, pointing and talking at their Chen Mansion. The noise disturbed him, but Chen Yu obviously realized something was wrong. So when he was about to rush in, a man he didn't know behind him grabbed him, tied his hands behind his back, and blocked his lips with a rag.

So he watched helplessly as these people put shackles on his father's hands and ruthlessly took him away with the attitude of tying up a prisoner, and did not let the rest of the people go either.

He was very confused, and until the moment before he was knocked unconscious and taken away, he was still wondering if his father had done anything to offend the court.

It is unknown. All we know is that after he woke up with his aching head, he looked around and found that he was in a dungeon and his father was in the cell next to him.

He was dishevelled and looked totally different from the bright and handsome man he had been a few days ago. Chen Yu then realized that his father, who seemed to be powerful and proud, could look so disheveled. The few strands of white hair on his temples made him look a few years older.

After knowing that his son woke up, the head of the Chen family raised his head, and his body, which had not moved for a long time, became a little stiff. The head of the Chen family said nothing, but told him the whole story, and started to lie to his son on the basis of the original story. The Chen family's secret hiding of military pay was discovered by the people sent by the emperor.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued, three days later, the entire government will be executed in front of all the people in Suzhou City.

The head of the Chen family also said that the reason why he dared to do such a thing as hiding military pay, which was extremely outrageous, was because of the Zhen family.

The Zhen and Chen families have been friends for generations, and have a hundred-year friendship. The head of the Zhen family secretly made a deal with those people, hiding the military pay in the basement of the Zhen mansion. After he was discovered, he wanted to persuade the head of the Zhen family, but he didn't expect the head of the Zhen family to say in a coercive tone that he saw it today, and it was a group of people. If his Zhen mansion was gone, you Chen family would have no good life, so the head of the Chen family was "forced" to become an ally with the Zhen family.

Now that the truth has been revealed, his Chen family has finally fallen. As for whether the Zhen family was the mastermind, there is no evidence now, so the Chen family can only confess everything.

Chen Yu heard the bad news, although he was skeptical, he still didn't completely believe it. In his impression, Uncle Zhen was not such a person. However, his father only said this and didn't continue, as if he was too tired.

Is it really the Zhen family who was the mastermind? Then isn't it a joke that he has been trying to find the murderer who killed the Zhen family these days? !

He didn't know until the night before he was about to be executed, when Prince An came to see the Chen family. Prince An was still dressed noble and clean, exactly the same as he was at the beginning, except that he stood in front of him and squatted down, with only a cell door between them.

King An asked him, are you willing?

Naturally, Chen Yu was unwilling to accept this, so Prince An secretly sent someone to release him, and told him the same story as his father, saying that it was the Zhen family that harmed their Chen family, and he also had a lot of evidence. All this forced Chen Yu to believe it, so he began to hate the Zhen family for doing this and implicated his father and himself.

After this, before the Chen family was executed, the head of the Chen family confessed his guilt and dragged the already exterminated Zhen family into the affair. The government sent people to investigate and discovered that the basement of the Chen family was connected to the original Zhen Mansion, and also to the Zhen Mansion's study. In addition, there was a witness who said that it was a servant who had worked in the Zhen Mansion who came to testify. The evidence was conclusive and the Zhen Mansion was convicted, even though the Zhen Mansion was no longer there.

The Zhen and Chen families, who were once wealthy and prosperous in Suzhou, were destroyed in less than half a month because they colluded to withhold military pay. It is truly a pity.

Chen Yu is no longer the high-spirited eldest son of the Chen family, but has become a sharp and dangerous blade behind Prince An.

Zhen Qingyi hid in the dark, deeply shocked by this. He didn't believe that his Zhen family would do such a thing. And those so-called physical evidence and witness testimony were simply nonsense. He had never seen these people when he was in the Zhen Mansion, let alone knew them. How could there be evidence? !

He couldn't show up because he knew someone was looking for him. Zhen Qingyi didn't understand which big shot the Zhen family had offended, and they were so painstakingly dealing with him and even framing him! And what was the Chen family for? They wanted his life. These two forces joined forces and would definitely take his life when they found him! But he couldn't die, he wanted revenge!

After Prince An saw the entire Chen family die, although he was very happy in his heart, there was no expression on his face.

Chen Nanguang, this old man, still dreamed of relying on him to rise to prominence? Tsk, it's just a foolish dream!

The damn Qi Yuan actually ruined my plan!

Qi Yuan, the third prince at that time.

After all, whoever finds out where the military pay is will surely be rewarded by the emperor and treated differently, which is what all princes dream of.

He escaped from Qi Yunjin, but could not escape from Qi Yuan, who suspected him by mistake. This was the only thing that Prince An did not expect, otherwise why would he give up the military pay? He originally wanted to embezzle it, but he was exposed unexpectedly. He had to play along with the enemy and give up the military pay, pretending that he had gained it through a search in Chen's mansion, and brought the person to justice.

This way he kills two birds with one stone. The emperor's special treatment and the destruction of the Chen and Zhen families are all part of his plan. Next, he can let his own staff work in Suzhou. Isn't that great?

After all, everything here was masterminded by King An, who fanned the flames, achieved his plan, and returned with a full load.

The eldest sons of the Zhen and Chen families were also alive at that time but were unaware of this. They thought that both parties had already died and would never see each other again in this life.

Chen Yu became Prince An's sword, while Zhen Qingyi hid in the dark and became the owner of a small teahouse in Suzhou.

After Prince An returned to the capital, he got everything he had planned as expected. Everyone was kept in the dark by this man, and no one knew that he was the culprit who withheld military pay.

However, he overlooked the two most important people. One was King An, who had snatched the military pay from the neighboring country's leader and threw a group of people into a mass grave instead of burning them, thus allowing the neighbor to luckily survive. The other was Chen Yu, who everyone thought was dead half a month ago.

Dreaming of Dali Temple——

Zhen Qingyi looked at the man in front of him, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
