Chapter 468: Seeking Your Own Death, I Will Grant You
Old Madam Chen did not expect that Prince Zhong would dare to target her, as she is Chen Dingtian's mother!
"Your Highness, are you really willing to step over my corpse and offend Dingtian to search the Duke of Chen's mansion?"
Old Madam Chen still insisted. She didn't believe that Prince Zhong would be so foolish as to commit such a taboo and cause trouble!
Shen Zhao looked at Madam Chen solemnly.
"Isn't this what the old lady asked for? Why would this prince not hesitate to step over your corpse?"
"It was Old Madam Chen who wanted to hinder my investigation and shield the rebels, not me who wanted to stir up trouble and offend Duke Chen."
As he spoke, Shen Zhao drew a long sword from the guard's waist and pointed it directly at Madam Chen.
"Are you ready to die, old lady? I'm going to take action!"
After Shen Zhao finished speaking, Old Lady Chen still didn't believe that Prince Zhong dared to kill her, and she still stood straight and looked at Shen Zhao.
"Then please, Your Majesty, take action!"
Shen Zhao moved his feet slightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and stabbed towards Madam Chen's neck.
There was no intention of stopping at all, and it seemed that he was determined to kill.
Old Madam Chen's heart skipped a beat as she saw Prince Zhong's sword about to pierce her neck.
Her body softened and she fell to the ground. Shen Zhao's sword did not stop at all. Due to inertia, he cut off Mrs. Chen's well-maintained hair and her entire bun.
In an instant, the jewelry on Mrs. Chen's head fell off with a "ding dong" sound, and her hair fell down in disarray, like a mad woman.
Everyone in the Chen family's heart was in their throat, and they seemed to react only then.
He yelled at the top of his lungs:
"mother……"
"Old lady..."
"grandmother……"
"Mother-in-law..."
The Chen family rushed forward and quickly helped Old Madam Chen, who had fallen to the ground, up.
The Chen family looked at Shen Zhao viciously and said:
"Prince Zhong actually dared to kill the old lady of my mansion. Does he really think that all of us Chen family members are dead?"
"Do you really think that my brother can't do anything to you in Linhai?"
Shen Zhao played with the sword in his hand.
"If you, like my old lady, hinder my king from searching for the rebels, then you, the Chen family, will be no different from dead people in my eyes."
"I believe that Duke Chen is not someone who doesn't know right from wrong. He will definitely understand my urgency to catch the traitor and won't bear any hatred towards me. Otherwise, he would be unworthy of being the commander-in-chief of a region and would be despised by everyone in the world."
Shen Zhao looked down at the Chen family.
"Are there any of you who would like to stop me from searching the mansion? If you can, please step forward and I will send them on their way. Don't worry, my sword is always sharp, and I can chop off your heads with one stroke."
Everyone in the Chen family was angry but dared not say anything. Liu Ailian, who had been standing aside, looked at Chen Zhao deeply.
But she was in a very happy mood. The Chen family had always looked down on her as the Duke's wife, and now someone finally took care of these idiots with their eyes on the top of their heads.
Without Chen Dingtian, these rabble are nothing, not even a fart.
When Liu Ailian looked at Shen Zhao thoughtfully, Shen Zhao also glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
She is truly a vicious woman.
"Since no one has come forward, it means that everyone agrees with my king's search of the mansion. Come, listen to my orders and search Duke Chen's mansion carefully. Don't miss any corner or any place. If anyone dares to stop me."
Shen Zhao paused, scanning the faces of the Chen family members one by one, "Kill them without mercy. This prince and Master Pang will bear all the consequences!"
Pang Qingyun, who was almost invisible, twitched his mouth. The man surnamed Chu was so nice to him that he never forgot to take him with him for everything.
However, what Mr. Chu did this time was very much in line with his wishes, and he was willing to take on the responsibility alone.
What's more, everything Prince Zhong is doing now is to rescue his wife, and he is very grateful for this kindness!
"Yes, subordinates and others will follow your orders!"
The guards immediately started to act, and everyone in the Chen family looked at Shen Zhao and Pang Qingyun with anger on their faces.
Although they were filled with rage, no one dared to say anything to stop it.
Prince Zhong will really kill them.
Chen Baoyi looked at Shen Zhao with even more passion.
Prince Zhong, quickly send someone to the old lady's courtyard to remove the toilet bowl from her chambers. That's the entrance to the underground secret room where Aunt Pang is imprisoned.
[However, there was only Aunt Pang inside, not the traitor the prince wanted to track down.]
Shen Zhao listened to Chen Baoyi's inner thoughts and had to say that the entrance to this underground secret room was indeed something that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
Who the hell would touch the toilet in the toilet? No wonder Old Madam Chen and Liu Ailian were so sure that the entrance to the underground secret room would not be discovered.
No normal person would look for it in feces and urine.
Soldiers returned one after another, and in their hands they were holding more or less things they had searched from the courtyard of the Chen family masters.
There were brocade boxes, envelopes, and countless other priceless items, all of which were more or less recorded.
Someone also moved out five boxes of silver from the Chen family's warehouse, all of which were engraved with official seals. These were the silver used for disaster relief that year.
Now it actually appeared in the warehouse of Duke Chen's Mansion. It has to be said that the Chen family is really bold.
Everyone in the Chen family looked at the things that were carried out by the guards, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
The origins of these things are enough to get them sent to prison.
Everyone who came back shook their heads at Shen Zhao and Pang Qingyun.
They did not forget the ultimate purpose of coming to Duke Chen's Mansion, which was to find Madam Pang. Now these were all unexpected surprises.
Pang Qingyun's brows became more and more furrowed, and as more and more guards returned, his heart slowly sank.
He believed that Chu Mu would not lie to him, and perhaps his wife had been transferred to Chen Dingtian's men.
At this time Shen Zhao stood up.
"As the emperor's chosen official to investigate the case, I cannot just sit here. Lord Pang, how about we go with you to investigate the whereabouts of the rebels?"
Pang Qingyun quickly agreed, "Your Highness, please."
His immersed heart became active again. It seemed that the prince not only knew that his wife was kidnapped by Chen Dingtian's men, but also knew her whereabouts.
Liu Ailian began to feel anxious for no reason.
She always felt that Prince Zhong seemed to know something.
He quickly said:
"There's no reason for me to let Your Highness and Master Pang investigate the case alone. To prove the innocence of our Duke Chen's Mansion, I'm willing to accompany Your Highness and Master Pang on the investigation, so that they can gain a deeper understanding of the Duke Chen's Mansion."
As soon as Liu Ailian finished speaking, Chen Baoyi also spoke.
"Your Majesty, I am here with my mother to help you investigate the case."
Shen Zhao's gaze fell on Chen Baoyi. She found that the fiery red sleeves on Chen Baoyi's arms seemed a little different, and a faint smell of blood came from Chen Baoyi.
"Your Highness, please promise me that the entrance to the underground secret room is difficult to find. I can help Your Highness and Mr. Pang find Aunt Pang. My mother has already made a mistake, and I don't want to see her make the same mistake again."
Chen Zhao's eyes tightened. Her guess was right. Mrs. Pang's disappearance was related to Liu Ailian.
Chen Baoyi seemed to be aware of the entanglement involved.
"Then I'll trouble Madam Chen and Miss Chen."
