Emperor Chongrui's heart was uneasy, he wanted to know where the second prince had gone?

Is it life or death?

But he didn't find anything unusual about Jia Lian just now.

Despite this, Emperor Chongrui still had some doubts in his heart, so he sent someone to announce Jia Chen, who was waiting outside the door, into the palace.

At this time, at the gate of the hall, Jia Chen watched Jia Lian walk out of the door unharmed, and his mind was a lot calmer.

It seems that Emperor Chongrui didn't find out anything, otherwise, Jia Lian should have been arrested at this time.

At this time, a eunuch ran out of the palace gate and announced his entry into the palace.

Jia Chen walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall and gave a salute to Emperor Chongrui.

Emperor Chongrui asked coldly:

"Jia Chen, I ask you, do you know the whereabouts of the second prince?"

Jia Chen replied calmly:

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know."

Jia Chen naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, because the second prince was buried in Jia Lian's mansion now.

Moreover, he instructed Jia Lian to dig a pit and bury it.

Emperor Chongrui frowned slightly, seeing that Jia Chen's face was as calm as water, and his eyes were not wavering, not like he was lying.

He closed his eyes slightly, opened them suddenly, and asked:

"You really don't know?"

Jia Chen pretended to be confused, and said calmly: "Weichen really doesn't know. ”

After Emperor Chongrui was silent for a moment, he bowed his head slightly and said:

"Then where do you think the second prince is now?"

贾琛 says:

"Weichen doesn't know the whereabouts of the second prince, I don't know how long the second prince has been missing?"

He had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and he could only ask knowingly.

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"The second prince has been missing for two days."

Jia Chen asked again:

"Then Your Majesty has sent someone to search Shenjing City?"

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"Someone has been sent to search the capital, but the whereabouts of the second prince have not been found."

Jia Chen groaned slightly, and said with a solemn face:

"Then there are only three possibilities, one, the second prince left Shenjing City, two, the second prince was kidnapped by traitors, and third, the second prince has been killed."

Emperor Chongrui was shocked and hurriedly asked:

"Jia Aiqing is resourceful, please help Aiqing analyze, which situation is most likely?"

After Jia Chen pondered for a moment, he said with a bitter face:

"Weichen believes that the second prince is the most likely to be killed."

Emperor Chongrui's heart trembled, and he said urgently:

"Why did Aiqing say this?"

Jia Chen sighed:

"Your Majesty, Weichen dares to ask, has the second prince ever been out of the Shenjing City before?"

Chongrui Emperor Road:

"No, I didn't."

Jia Chen said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, imagine that the second prince has never left Shenjing, how can he leave Shenjing without saying goodbye? Moreover, His Majesty has sent people to search the whole city, and the officers and soldiers must know the appearance of the second prince, if the second prince left the city two days ago, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate should have seen the second prince, but no one has seen it, which means that the second prince did not go out of the city. ”

Emperor Chongrui's heart sank, and he asked:

"Then why can't it be that he was taken captive by traitors?"

Jia Chen said:

"If the traitor wants to kidnap the second prince, he must have a plan, why do they want to kidnap the prince, naturally they want to extort a huge amount of ransom, but the second prince has been missing for two days, but no traitor sent a letter to the government or the palace to ask for ransom, which shows that the second prince should not have been taken away by the traitor."

Emperor Chongrui exclaimed:

"Then according to what Aiqing said, the second prince is more than lucky?"

Jia Chen said: "Please forgive Weichen for speaking bluntly, I'm afraid that I will die and be lifeless." ”

Emperor Chongrui gasped and slumped back on the dragon chair, rolling his eyes, almost turning his back on his breath.

Dai Quan on the side hurriedly ordered the palace maid to bring warm tea and give it to Emperor Chongrui to drink.

Dai Quan also helped Emperor Chongrui stroke his chest and help him straighten out his breathing.

After a long while, Emperor Chongrui relieved himself and asked sharply:

"Jia Aiqing, do you know who murdered the second prince?"

Jia Chen said abruptly: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know, but this murderer's heart is comparable to a snake and scorpion, even if a thousand knives are not enough to calm his anger." ”

Emperor Chongrui's eyes were full of tears, and he gritted his teeth and nodded:

"This person is really hateful, he dares to murder the prince and let me taste the pain of losing my son!"

Hearing this, Jia Chen deliberately hated and said:

"If I had known who he was, I would have torn him to pieces."

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Emperor Chongrui was silent, and Jia Chen, Dai Quan, and the eunuchs and palace maids also stood silent.

Suddenly, Emperor Chongrui looked at Jia Chen and said:

"Jia Chen, now the commander of the Jinyi Guard has sent Qinglong to the frontier on business, and the other commander of the Jinyi Guard has limited ability to make Qiu Chen, I want to entrust you with a heavy responsibility!"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Emperor Chongrui.

Emperor Chongrui stared at Jia Chen and said, "Jia Chen, I order you to go all out to find the whereabouts of the second prince and hunt down the murderer of the second prince!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen was a little confused.

Emperor Chongrui actually handed over this errand to himself?

Is this for him to catch himself and Second Brother Lian by himself?

How is it possible to catch that?

Holding back the strangeness in his heart, Jia Chen accepted the order.

Coming out of the palace, Jia Chen walked home with a complicated mood, with an inexplicable look on his face.

Emperor Chongrui's will was simple, to let him assist Jin Yiwei in handling the case.

This was because Qiu Chen was not doing well and had to ask him for assistance.

Although it is to assist, it is obvious that Emperor Chongrui wants Jia Chen as the main official.

In other words, during the investigation of the case, he will temporarily take control of the Jinyi Guard.

You must know that the commander of the Jinyi Guard makes Qinglong actually a member of the Zhengyi Rank.

Another Jinyi guard commander Qiu Chen is still young, but he is also a member of the second grade.

And he is just a fourth-rank imperial captain, and his official rank is much lower than that of Qinglong and Qiu Chen.

And now, he has temporarily become their superior.

It's kind of weird.

However, Jia Chen is also used to it.

The last time he went to Yangzhou City as a minister to investigate the officialdom of Yangzhou, he was only a sword guard in front of the Wupin Emperor, and he was not the same as Tianxian in his mouth, representing His Majesty.

Civil and military officials, don't dare to disobey.

This time, Jia Chen was ordered to handle the case, although Qiu Chen was not convinced, but he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

When Jia Chen came to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyi Weibei Town, Qiu Chen greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Xiaguan Qiu Chen, meet Master Jia."

Before Jia Chen could speak, Qiu Chen claimed to be a subordinate official.

Now Jia Chen is not a Qincha, but he is really a Qincha, and Qiu Chen does not dare to be disrespectful.

Jia Chen said:

"Lord Qiu is polite, Captain Qiu is a second-grade officer, so you don't have to call yourself a subordinate official."

Seeing that Jia Chen was so modest, Qiu Chen's heart felt a little more comfortable.

Jia Chen commanded:

"Lord Qiu will continue to send people to search the streets and alleys of Shenjing City, and he will also send people to spread messages to all parts of the country, so that the Jinyi guards stationed all over the country will take action and cooperate with the local government to find the whereabouts of the second prince."

Qiu Chen bowed his hand:

"Yes!"

Jia Chen secretly thought in his heart:

This mastermind behind the scenes wants to blame Jia Lian for the death of the second prince, with sinister intentions, and the identity of the other party must be extraordinary, so he can set up such a big game.

So who is behind this?
