[126] Interrogation of Jia Lian

If he had known that there would be a big case of the disappearance of the prince, Qiu Chen would have found an excuse to leave the capital and dump the pot to the deputy commanders of Jinyiwei, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu.

Just when Qiu Chen was suppressed by Emperor Huanghuang and was terrified, a guard suddenly came to report, saying that there was a Jinyi guard who wanted to see Qiu Chen.

Emperor Chongrui lifted his eyelids, and a flash of hope flashed in his eyes.

Qiu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, it is possible that there is the whereabouts of the second prince."

Emperor Chongrui only spit out two words:

"Go!"

"Yes! Wechen obeys! ”

Qiu Chen gave a salute and hurriedly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After a while, Qiu Chen ran in with surprise on his face, and Shi Li said:

"Your Majesty, according to my subordinates, there is a clue to the second prince!"

Emperor Chongrui urged. "Tell me about it!"

Hearing this, Qiu Chen hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, Weichen led his subordinates to visit the entire Shenjing City, and finally learned a piece of news, it turned out that the second prince went to a mansion that day."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chongrui's eyes widened.

Swept away by this look, Qiu Chen shuddered in fright.

Not everyone can withstand such a domineering emperor.

Only Jia Chen was able to be neither humble nor arrogant when he met Emperor Chongrui.

The other ministers, and even the prince, were more or less afraid of Emperor Chongrui.

Qiu Chen didn't dare to sell Guan Zi in a verbose way, and hurriedly introduced:

"According to the report of Weichen's subordinates, it was a woman's residence, named Yang Wan'er, and it was ......"

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen's tone began to become hesitant and hesitant.

Seeing his virtue, Emperor Chongrui knew that it involved a certain dignitary.

"There's no need to be taboo, but it's okay to say it!"

Emperor Chongrui's face was solemn, and he said softly.

Qiu Chen didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, this Yang Wan'er is the concubine secretly raised by Jia Lian in the outer room of Rongguo Mansion."

Qiu Chen replied with a bitter face.

In fact, now that the Jia family has been in the West Mountain, if it only involves Jia Lian, Qiu Chen doesn't have to be so careful.

It's just that now Jia Chen, the son of the side branch of Rongguo Mansion, has a very high status in Emperor Chongrui's heart, and he is a celebrity around His Majesty, so Qiu Chen is so hesitant, worried about angering Emperor Chongrui, and also worried that this matter will reach Jia Chen's ears, and he will be retaliated against by Jia Chen in the future.

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui's face sank, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he suddenly opened them and shouted:

"Someone is coming, and Jia Chen and Jia Lian are summoned to the palace to meet them."

"Wechen obeys!" Qiu Chen gave a salute, ran out of the palace, and ordered someone to announce that Jia Chen and Jia Lian had entered the palace to face the saint.

After less than a stick of incense, Jia Chen and Jia Lian rushed to the palace.

The guards stopped Jia Chen at the door.

In the sound of uneasy heartbeat, Jia Lian trembled and walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Before he came, he knew that Emperor Chongrui must have announced his entry into the palace because of the matter of the second prince.

And the second prince is now buried in his mansion.

Or did he bury it with his own hands.

Jia Lian had a ghost in his heart, so he was naturally panicked.

When he walked into the hall and saw Emperor Chongrui standing tall, his heart beat violently, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"Grass people Jia Lian knocks to see Your Majesty!"

After speaking, Jia Lian fell to the ground, buried his face deeply, and his eyes were full of panic.

Emperor Chongrui looked down at him coldly and commanded sharply:

"Raise your head!"

Although it was only a short four words, it seemed to hide supreme coercion, which scared Jia Lian to tremble.

But His Majesty had an order, and Jia Lian didn't dare to disobey, so he had to raise his head slowly.

When he saw Emperor Chongrui's majestic and domineering, cold eyes, his face turned pale with fright, and his lips trembled.

Seeing that he seemed to be a thief, Emperor Chongrui had the intention to deceive him, and suddenly shouted:

"Come on, put this heinous person to death!"

As soon as the words fell, a guard stepped forward to arrest Jia Lian.

Seeing this situation, Jia Lian was so frightened that his heart and liver were broken, his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly kept kowtowing and said:

"Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life! The grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged! ”

He was a little incoherent and confused.

Emperor Chongrui's suspicion of him deepened a little, and he asked sharply:

"Wronged? What are your grievances? ”

Jia Lian burst into tears and said in a trembling voice:

"Back to Your Majesty, although the grass people are not as good as their cousin Jia Chen, they have never been a traitor and committed illegal things!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui's heart sank, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?

It seems that the disappearance of the second prince may be related to Jia Lian.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongrui slapped the table heavily and asked:

"I ask you! Where is the second prince? ”

Hearing this, Jia Lian's heart jumped.

It's all over the calf!

It seems that Your Majesty has heard some news!

Jia Lian naturally didn't dare to admit it, so he had to pretend to be at a loss, and asked with an innocent face:

"Your Majesty, the second prince is a royal prince and nobleman, and the grass people have never seen him."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui was skeptical.

Seeing Jia Lian's blank face and innocent face, Emperor Chongrui wondered in his heart: Could this matter have nothing to do with Jia Lian?

Emperor Chongrui looked at him deeply and asked:

"I ask you, do you have a concubine?"

Jia Lian's heart jumped, it turned out that His Majesty had found out that he had a concubine, since the other party asked like this, there must be full evidence, if he denied it, it would attract suspicion, so he had to bite the bullet and nodded again and again:

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case!"

Emperor Chongrui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "I ask you again, where is this person now?" ”

Jia Lian's heart sank, this little concubine was buried in her own yard, and she was buried in everything, as well as the second prince, so she naturally didn't dare to tell the truth.

Taking a deep breath and calming down the flustered heartbeat, Jia Lian shook his head and said blankly:

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people don't know, the grass people haven't seen her for a few days, and they can't see her after asking her relatives and friends, so the grass people have no choice but to report to the official, but now the government has not found out her whereabouts."

Among the children of the Jia family, Jia Lian is still a little talented, and after the initial panic, he gradually calmed down and answered questions fluently.

Seeing that his tone was steady and his face was calm, Emperor Chongrui's suspicion of him was slightly lightened, and he asked:

"Is that true?"

Jia Lian hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to deceive in the slightest, every word is true!" ”

Seeing that his tone was sincere and he didn't want to be fake, Emperor Chongrui closed his eyes slightly and waved his hand:

"You step back first, in the near future, you have to stay in the house, don't go out, and listen to the announcement at any time."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian was slightly happy in his heart, it seemed that he had been confused for the time being, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes!" Wechen obeys! ”

Emperor Chongrui looked at Jia Lian's back as he hurriedly left, and was half-convinced, judging from Jia Lian's performance, he seemed to really not know?

Where did the second prince go?
