Chapter 227 The truth is not confusing!

······

Leaving the palace, Chen Chao's heart was not calm, full of doubts.

"Where did the silver go?"

In fact, faintly, he already had some guesses.

But there are always places where he can't get in touch.

Sitting in the carriage all the way, Chen Chao was thinking carefully.

It is impossible for such a large sum of silver to disappear without leaving a trace, and where such a sum of silver is needed.

Army!

The word didn't come to his mind all at once.

Moreover, Yan Duo also said so.

Although Yan Duo did not explicitly point it out, Yan Duo said that 10 million taels of silver could support 30,000 elite troops for a year.

It's an elite army, not an ordinary army.

At least in terms of equipment, the elite army is completely superior to the ordinary army, and correspondingly, the combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than the ordinary army.

It's just that Yan Duo also said that it is useless for Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng to raise these troops, unless they have the strength to really overthrow the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, it is useless to just occupy the palace and kill the emperor, no matter who succeeds them to the throne, it is not justifiable.

I'm afraid that before the ass is hot, I will face the crusade of the various armies of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng are naturally not stupid, and they will not be stupid to such an extent.

"What if it's a different person?"

Chen Chao frowned and muttered softly.

Whether it is Zhao Chuan or Xu Guanzheng, they are both the people of the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao, if Qin Yuanzhao does this, it will be easier for the people of the dynasty to accept it nominally.

"Could it be that Qin Yuanzhao is secretly cultivating the army?"

If this is the case, there is a reasonable explanation for the whereabouts of the disappearing giant silver.

Moreover, Chen Chao thought about it according to this line of thought, and when he got to the back, he found that it was more and more so.

It is extremely likely that Qin Yuanzhao cultivated the army in private.

First, such a large amount of expenditure, and there is no physical match, only the army can consume such a large amount.

And the silver that Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng embezzled is obviously not right, they are the prince's people, and it is likely to be handed over to the prince.

In other words, they were instructed by Qin Yuanzhao to collect money and raise soldiers for the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao by overcharging taxes and silver.

Second, King Ling once told Chen Chao that the five school captains who mysteriously disappeared and died had all been in contact with the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao before the accident.

Now that I think about it, those five captains were not killed by murder, but were bought by Qin Yuanzhao, using death as a cover to secretly train the army for Qin Yuanzhao.

Such an explanation is reasonable.

At least that's what the Chen dynasty thinks now.

Third, Qin Yuanzhao desperately tried his best to win over Shang Xun, it must be for silver, as the crown prince, there is naturally no shortage of silver, and if he needs such a large amount of silver, there must be other uses.

Most likely, it is still used to train the army.

Military pay can be a huge expense.

Fourth, because he suspected that Jiangnan Pavilion had a relationship with Zhao Chuan, Chen Chao thought that Jiangnan Pavilion and the crown prince must also be connected.

So in Chen Chao's view, Jiangnan Pavilion, which is not short of silver, why did he use the casino to collect a lot of money, is it also for Qin Yuanzhao to train the army.

"It has been three years since the household department overcharged taxes and silver, that is to say, three years ago, Qin Yuanzhao began to plan the cultivation of the army.

Coincidentally, three years ago was the time when Jiangnan Pavilion was established.

Is there something related to this, Qin Yuanzhao, a good prince, the future prince, why did he suddenly build his own army?"

Chen Chao muttered.

"Turn around and go to the cemetery. ”

Suddenly, Chen Chao seemed to think of something, and shouted at the second tiger who was driving.

Although the second tiger was surprised, he still obediently turned around.

Lin Ziying led his men to follow on horseback.

I was equally surprised, but I didn't ask.

When he arrived at the cemetery where his father Chen Hai was buried, Chen Chao took a deep breath, kowtowed three times in front of the tomb, and after getting up, he ordered: "Ziying, ask someone to dig up the tomb." ”

"Uncle, this is Ling Zun's tomb, dig it up, isn't it?"

Lin Ziying was a little hesitant.

"Dig. ”

Chen Chao didn't explain, he drank categorically, and Lin Ziying had no choice but to order someone to dig up Chen Hai's tomb.

······

"Qin Yuanzhao, it seems that you and I are natural enemies, even if there is no matter for Xue'er, I will not let you go now. ”

On the return carriage, thinking about digging up his father Chen Hai's grave before, checking the condition of the bones, and listening to Lin Ziying's description of death, Chen Chao thought that he already knew everything.

"Go to King Qin's Mansion. ”

Chen Chao commanded again in the carriage.

After that, come to the back door of the Qin Palace.

Not long after, the back door opened, and the subordinate led Chen Chao into the palace.

······

"It's so late, why are you here?"

Qin Yuanheng saw Chen Chao in the study, and when he saw that he was covered in dirt, he asked again, "What's the matter?"

Chen Chaodao: "I have done some private things, and the prince doesn't need to know." ”

Qin Yuanheng glanced at Chen Chao, didn't ask again, and poured tea for Chen Chao.

The two sat down.

After Chen Chao took a sip of tea, he said, "How is King Qin's injury?"

Qin Yuanheng said: "You came to ask me this?"

Looking at Chen Chao, Qin Yuanheng saw that Chen Chao really had something to say, and he said, "The recovery is not bad. ”

Chen Chaodao: "Now that King Qin's injuries are about to recover, isn't it time to go back to Huizhou?"

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yuanheng was extremely puzzled, Chen Chao was a little strange today.

Qin Yuanheng stared at Chen Chao tightly, Chen Chao was also staring at him, his face was solemn, and he said after a long time: "The prince wants to rebel!"

These four words came out of Chen Chao's mouth, like a thunderous explosion, which made Qin Yuanheng's hand on the table tremble, and he almost overturned the tea bowl on the table.

He was shocked.

"Chen Chao, what are you talking nonsense?"

Qin Yuanheng seemed to be a little helpless.

Although you already regard Chen Chao as a friend, you don't have to hide it when you talk on weekdays, but you can't talk nonsense so unscrupulously.

"I said that Qin Yuanzhao wants to rebel!"

Chen Chao said solemnly.

He wasn't joking.

After thinking about it before and after, Chen Chao thought that this time Qin Zheng went out of the palace to inspect various places, and Qin Yuanzhao was extremely likely to rebel.

"Tell me why?"

Qin Yuanheng slowly calmed down.

Chen Chaodao: "King Qin already knows about Zhao Chuan's overcharge of taxes and silver, but according to Yan Duo's recent investigation, there is a large amount of huge silver that is completely incompatible, and all the properties purchased by Zhao Chuan, as well as his property in his hometown Yingzhou, are not matched, even if some are consumables, they are completely incomparable to that huge amount of silver."

A huge sum of silver has disappeared.

Therefore, I suspect that this silver was used by the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao to secretly cultivate the army. ”

"Maybe you're wrong?" Qin Yuanheng still couldn't believe it, why did the prince do this?

Chen Chaodao: "King Ling told me that there were five captains under the army who mysteriously disappeared and died, and they all had contact with Qin Yuanzhao before their accidents, and I think they helped Qin Yuanzhao train the army."

The accident was just to hide people's eyes. ”

"Is there any other evidence, but that's just speculation?"

Although Qin Yuanheng didn't believe that Chen Chao would lie, it was still not easy for people to accept.

This speculation is too shocking.

Chen Chao seemed a little hesitant, and pondered for a while before he said, "I just went to my father's cemetery and dug up his tomb......"

"Chen Chao, you bastard, you actually dig General Chen's tomb, you ......"

"I have a serious business, and I have to dig my father's grave, you think I am willing, what are you scolding?"

Chen Chao was a little unhappy and glared at Qin Yuanheng.

Qin Yuanheng also knew that he was a little excited, and he said, "You go on." ”

Chen Chaodao: "I asked Ziying to examine my father's bones, and Ziying found that my father was not only poisoned, but also his last fatal wound was in the neck, which was pierced through the throat bone by a sharp weapon and died. ”

"What does that mean, can you find the murderer?"

Qin Yuanheng asked, in fact, he was a little nervous now.

He hoped that Chen Chao would really find the murderer.

He has always regarded Chen Hai as a role model and a teacher, and he is extremely willing to take revenge for Chen.

Chen Chaodao: "It's just a suspicion, not a complete certainty." ”

"Who is it?"

"Jiangnan Pavilion Lord Jiangnan Yue. ”

"She... She's a weak woman, how can she be?"

"Weak woman, I'm afraid it's superficial, I have long suspected Jiangnan Pavilion, and I concluded that the nine sisters of Jiangnan Pavilion have good martial arts.

King Qin has seen Jiang Nanyue's left little thumb?"

Chen Chao asked, staring at King Qin.

Qin Yuanheng said: "I've seen it, her left little thumb is golden, it seems to be fake." ”

Chen Chaodao: "So, this is her biggest suspicion, I don't know if King Qin has ever heard of the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes?"

Qin Yuanheng shook his head lightly and said, "I rarely pay attention to things on the rivers and lakes. ”

Chen Chaodao: "Although I am in the Jiangzuo League, I have always paid little attention to this matter, but after coming to Mingdu, I unexpectedly heard a wonderful story, which is about the ranking of the Jianghu celebrity list, and my father is actually the second place in the Jianghu celebrity list.

Just ask, with my father's strength, how many people in the world can kill him?"

Qin Yuanheng said: "Under normal circumstances, only the first person can." ”

Chen Chaodao: "Yes, if it is a normal situation, only the first person can, and the storyteller said that the first person on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes is named Jiang Jiuzhi, and his famous stunt is called Golden Liuyun, which is his severed finger."

It's just that in the early years, because of the assassination of the previous generation of monarchs, he was seriously injured and disappeared from the world. ”

"What do you mean is that Jiang Nanyue, the master of the Jiangnan Pavilion, has a relationship with Jiang Jiuzhi, and it was she who killed General Chen, why was she and not Jiang Jiuzhi, and why did she kill General Chen Hai?"

Qin Yuanheng asked like a cannon.

Chen Chaodao: "I didn't say that Jiang Nanyue must have something to do with Jiang Jiuzhi, but I just said that the situation of the two of them is the same, they both have a golden severed finger, so if Jiang Nanyue is a murderer, she will definitely have that golden flowing cloud."

As for why she killed my father, it's very simple, she is doing things for the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao.

And why did Qin Yuanzhao kill my father, I think, he must have secretly cultivated the army, and my father found out a year ago.

My father is a general of Zhenguo, and I believe that it is not too difficult to find out about Qin Yuanzhao's cultivation of the army.

That's what I judge.

However, although my father found out that Qin Yuanzhao was secretly cultivating the army, Qin Yuanzhao was the crown prince, so he ......"

Without waiting for Chen Chao to finish speaking, Qin Yuanheng took over and said: "Therefore, General Chen found Qin Yuanzhao, with my understanding of General Chen Hai, he will definitely not report this matter, but only remind Qin Yuanzhao, or even say it explicitly."

And Qin Yuanzhao not only didn't listen, but was afraid that General Chen would say this, so he had murderous intentions towards General Chen.

So on the night of General Chen's birthday, someone poisoned General Chen's wine in advance, and after the people left, Jiang Nanyue led people to take action, and finally killed General Chen with a golden flowing cloud, and destroyed Chen's mansion. ”

"Exactly. ”

Chen Chao is such logic.

"But I really can't understand why the prince colluded with Jiang Nanyue, and why did he train the army?"

Qin Yuanheng said with a frown.

Chen Chaodao: "If Jiang Nanyue and Jiang Jiuzhi are linked, you may be able to find some reasons.

Because his parents were killed that year, he naturally hated the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately in the end, not only did the assassination fail, but he was even seriously injured.

Moreover, today's monarch has a martial arts, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to assassinate him.

Therefore, he thought of another way, and it was Jiang Nanyue who came forward for him.

Jiang Nanyue appeared in the third year, and the prince only showed signs of cultivating the army three years ago, all of which proves that the prince may have been bewitched by Jiang Nanyue.

They wanted to use the crown prince to destroy the Ming Dynasty. ”

"That makes sense. ”

Qin Yuanheng nodded lightly.

Chen Chaodao: "Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, what the King of Qin needs to do now is to send someone back to Huizhou to transfer troops to rescue him."

Qin Yuanzhao has been almost cornered this time, if he really has an army in his hands, I am afraid that he will take risks and do not hesitate to rebel.

And the monarch went out of the palace to inspect, which was a good opportunity.

Therefore, regardless of whether the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao will oppose it or not, we must be careful to take precautions. ”

"Chen Dynasty, we can tell our father. "Qin Yuanheng said, it is a serious crime to transfer troops without permission.

Of course, he felt that there was no need for this, wouldn't it be easy to tell Qin Zheng?

Chen Chaodao: "You go and say, or I go and say, you are really an elm pimple, this matter, we have no evidence at all to sue the prince, what will the monarch think? Whether it is you or me, if I go, the monarch may not say anything, but at least he will not believe me, you go, you will be scolded lightly, more seriously, you may be imprisoned."

As for King Ling's side, if he is allowed to say it, not only will it not cure the prince's sin, but it will make the monarch think that King Ling is taking the opportunity to suppress the prince, which will make him more inclined to the prince from the heart.

So, we can only act now, not speak. ”

"I see what you mean, you say, what do you need to do?"

Qin Yuanheng understood, and he asked.

Chen Chaodao: "The monarch will go all the way, according to the monarch, he will camp all the way, and only when he arrives in Pingzhou will he rest in the palace there for a few days."

I am afraid that if the prince wants to rebel, he will definitely attack there, and the terrain around the palace is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are only two valley entrances that are not very wide, and once an army blocks them, the people inside will only have a dead end, and there is no possibility of escape. ”

"When are you leaving?" Qin Yuanheng asked with a slight frown.

Chen Chaodao: "Two days later." ”

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it's too late in time, it will take at least twenty days to transfer troops from Huizhou to Pingzhou, and you will only get to Pingzhou for six or seven days at most, even if there is some delay on the road, it will not be more than half a month." ”

Qin Yuanheng said with some worry.

Chen Chaodao: "It is naturally impossible for the Huizhou army to arrive in time, but don't forget, in addition to your Huizhou army, there is also our Changlin army, although the number is not large, but it should be able to reach Pingzhou in six or seven days, even if it cannot repel the prince's men and horses, but at least it can stop them for some time and buy time for the Huizhou army." ”

Qin Yuanheng said: "On the way, you try to delay the time to Pingzhou. ”

Hearing this, Chen Chao smiled.

He said: "Not only will I not delay time, but I will also order the team to arrive in Pingzhou as soon as possible." ”

"Why?" Qin Yuanheng was puzzled.

Chen Chaodao: "Only the more dangerous the environment in the monarch's place, you will finally lead the troops to rescue the driver, your credit will be the greatest, this is your Qin Yuanheng's opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and you can't go back to Huizhou to transfer troops, but let your deputy general Tian Heng go, you take my letter to Changlin fiefdom to transfer troops, you have to take the Changlin army to stop the prince's army and fight with them bloodily." ”

"Chen Chao, you are playing with fire, if I can't arrive in time, you will all die. Qin Yuanheng said very angrily.

Chen Chaodao: "As I said, the more dangerous the situation, the greater your merit will be, and some things have to take some risks when necessary." ”

"Why are you helping me like this?" Qin Yuanheng was puzzled, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

When Chen Chao heard this, he smiled indifferently and said, "I think your kid is okay." ”
