Who put the yellow robe on me?

Jiang Chen looked at the scene in front of him helplessly. He knew that Yang Shaolin had decided to commit suicide in order to cover up more secrets.

Under the gaze of the jailer, blood kept gushing out of Yang Shaolin's mouth. Finally, his eyes widened and his body fell limply to the ground.

Yang Weiqian hurried over and saw all this, his face turned extremely ugly.

He turned to the Sixteenth Prince and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry. This happened in Jingzhao Prefecture, and I have no choice but to take responsibility."

Jiang Chen looked calm and said, "It's okay. Just follow the laws of Daliang."

Yang Weiqian nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, imprisonment in the prison is absolutely unacceptable, but please move to the guest room and await His Majesty's decision."

After saying that, Yang Weiqian ordered his men to arrange the sixteenth prince in a separate guest room.

The room is surrounded by expert guards and is heavily guarded to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After Jiang Chen entered the separate room, he sat at the table with a frown, lost in deep thought.

He never understood why Yang Shaolin would obey Mu Shenru and even the prince behind him?

If it was for money, he wouldn't risk his life; if it was to repay a favor, then what did Mu Shenru do to make Yang Shaolin so grateful?

Or was Yang Shaolin threatened by something and had to obey Mu Shenru's orders, even at the cost of his own life?

The room was silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing gently outside the window.

Jiang Chen recalled Yang Shaolin's resolute look at the last moment, and couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

At this moment, the door gently opened and Yang Weiqian walked in. He said solemnly, "Your Highness, His Majesty has learned of this matter. He is very angry and has ordered me to report the entire incident immediately."

Jiang Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yang Weiqian, you should have heard what Yang Shaolin said before he committed suicide. He mentioned a royal case ten years ago, and an official from the Ministry of Justice who was persecuted to death by him. Where are the son and daughter of this official now?"

Yang Weiqian recalled for a moment and said, "Sixteenth Prince, this matter is still uncertain. Could you give me some advice?"

Jiang Chen looked at Yang Weiqian, not knowing who else he could tell him about. He then said, "I don't know much about this matter either! Sir Yang, why not go and investigate?"

"Yes!" Yang Weiqian also saw that Jiang Chen didn't want to say more, so he left the guest room.

Not long after, a commotion was heard outside, followed by the anxious cry of the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou: "Sixteenth brother, where are you? Sixteenth brother!"

The guard's voice followed closely behind, sounding somewhat embarrassed: "Princess Thirteen, please don't embarrass me!"

Then, there was the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, and a cold voice said, "Get out of the way! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Jiang Chen was afraid that someone might get killed, which would make the situation even more difficult to resolve, so he quickly shouted, "Thirteenth Sister, I'm here!"

As he shouted, the door was pushed open and the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei rushed in.

The guard at the gate wanted to stop him, but was quickly knocked to the ground by Jiang Sirou.

Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei were extremely excited to see that Jiang Chen was safe and sound.

He Xiaowei suppressed the urge to pounce, took two steps, but then stepped back, biting her lip.

However, this small detail was clearly seen by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Sirou asked anxiously, "Sixteenth brother, are you okay?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said soothingly, "It's fine at the moment. The Jingzhao prefect doesn't dare to do anything to me."

He Xiaowei's eyes flashed with worry, and she asked, "I heard you were imprisoned. What happened?"

Jiang Chen sighed, and then told Yang Shaolin everything about his conversation this morning.

"Yang Shaolin was originally a member of my mother's clan, but he chose to help the Ministry of Rites and abet the tyrant," the Sixteenth Prince said. "He told me that ten years ago, he concealed the truth of a royal case, and because of this, he received a bribe of one thousand taels of gold.

But after the truth was revealed, he was demoted from the fifth rank of the Ministry of Justice to the position of Cabinet Secretary. He became resentful and designed to persecute the officials who revealed the truth.

The official returned to his hometown with his son and daughter to retire, and eventually died with hatred in his heart."

He Xiaowei asked in confusion, "Who is that scholar? Is it Qin Yiliang or Luo Shihua?"

Jiang Chen marveled at He Xiaowei's cleverness: "It's Luo Shihua!"

"Ah?" Jiang Sirou exclaimed after hearing it!

Jiang Chen sighed and told Yang Shaolin everything about his conversation this morning and how Yang Shaolin framed him.

After listening to this, Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei fell into deep thought.

Jiang Sirou said firmly, "Sixteenth brother, don't be afraid. He will definitely not be able to wrongly accuse you."

He Xiaowei calmly analyzed: "Shouting that the Sixteenth Prince had killed someone, and then biting his tongue to commit suicide, anyone can see that this is a frame-up."

Jiang Sirou nodded in agreement: "Yes, this frame-up is too obvious, you will definitely be fine."

Jiang Chen frowned and thought, "But I'm curious, why would he frame me? And why would he even sacrifice his own life for it?"

He Xiaowei pondered for a moment, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Unless, his purpose is not to kill you."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Yes, if it was just to kill me, it would be too difficult, and his acting skills are too poor."

Jiang Sirou asked doubtfully, "What is his purpose?"

He Xiaowei thought for a moment and suddenly said, "If he doesn't want to kill you, then the consequence for him doing this is at most three days in prison.

According to Daliang's laws, the imperial family cannot be detained for more than three days. The case must be solved, otherwise they will be acquitted!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "So his purpose is just to detain me for three days? Is there any problem in these three days?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became more tense, and the three people's thoughts were working rapidly.

He Xiaowei suddenly looked up, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes: "Sixteenth Prince, if someone takes advantage of the opportunity to plot in the court during these three days, they will be able to act with impunity without you being present."

Jiang Chen frowned and said to Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei, "No matter what, you must be vigilant for the next three days. If anything happens, come find me immediately."

He Xiaowei nodded and calmly analyzed, "According to Daliang law, within these three days, you can choose to stay in Jingzhao Prefecture or return to the Dali Temple's prison."

Jiang Chen said firmly: "I am in Jingzhao Prefecture. Jia Shiyan is still here, I am not going anywhere."

He paused, and suddenly thought of the relationship between Yang Shaolin and Luo Shihua's father, and frowned even deeper: "Now there are two tricky things, one is Yang Shaolin's family, and the other is Luo Shihua.

Yang Shaolin once said that someone would threaten his family, and that if the son of a Ministry of Justice official were to become an official in the court, he would reveal all the information about his father.

Jiang Sirou thought for a while and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Jiang Chen decisively arranged, "Assign Dianzhang and Zhou Liangwei to protect Yang Shaolin's family, and assign Xu Ningce and Deng Yunde to protect Luo Shihua and Qin Yiliang. We must ensure their safety so that we can uncover the truth."

Jiang Sirou nodded and said, "Okay, Sixteenth Brother, I will go and inform the four of them to do as you arrange."
