Chapter 142 The Shocking Truth
"Given your age, it's impossible for you to have participated in what happened back then. Someone else told you that."
That is to say.
He takes orders from others.
The constable listened to her analysis and showed a helpless and evil smile on his face.
Chu Jiuning is indeed smart enough to find the loophole in the first place.
Since she came so far to look for her parents' bodies, she must be extremely anxious, but she pretended to be calm.
It’s really hard to deal with!
He had originally wanted to seize Chu Jiuning's weakness and make her obedient. As long as she was obedient, it didn't matter whether she went to jail or not. It would be the same if she died here.
Raise an eyebrow.
"Your guess is correct, but I really do know where they died, and where their bodies are. I can even... take you to find them, as long as you're willing to obey. Otherwise, with a single command from me, your parents' bodies will be reduced to ashes, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Chu Jiuning's heart sank.
She couldn't tell whether what this person said was true or false.
Or maybe.
The bodies of their parents were actually in their hands?
Her long fingers clenched tightly, and the murderous look in her eyes suddenly became fierce.
The constable caught the change in her mood and was immediately satisfied.
"Don't think about killing me, otherwise the news about your parents will be cut off. Currently, I'm the only one who knows."
Said.
The constable took out a document from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Sign this and I'll let you meet them."
Chu Jiuning stared at him coldly. Seeing that he was full of confidence and didn't seem to be lying, she reached out to take the thing, and the cold light moved from his face to the paper.
When anger is raging.
She raised the document and slammed it all down in his face.
Property transfer!
He wanted all the business in Chu Jiuning's hands, and was so shameless that he didn't leave her a penny.
Really confident.
Are you so sure that she will obey you?
The constable tilted his head back, his face stinging from the blow. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Generally speaking, if people don't listen, it's because they haven't been taught enough. After enduring countless hardships and tortures, they'll cry and kneel down to beg me for mercy."
Finished.
His eyes lit up, and gradually a look of astonishment gathered in them, as he moved closer to Chu Jiuning.
"If you don't sign, then come with me to the government office. You chased these two men from the capital to Jiangzhou, and the government office can interrogate you."
"I didn't kill the person, so I won't go."
Chu Jiuning looked at him, refusing to give in at all, and the constable crossed his arms and shook his head.
"No matter how sharp your tongue is, you're just a merchant. The government has the final say. How can a lowly merchant like you resist?"
at this point.
They are much smarter than Chu Jiuning. Their people are deployed in every corner of Jiangzhou and can firmly control Jiangzhou.
Chu Jiuning's eyes were cold as he took out the land deed from his arms and raised it.
"This is my home. They are thieves who wanted to steal things, but they didn't divide the spoils evenly and ended up killing each other. I know you are all-powerful in Jiangzhou, but don't forget that this country doesn't belong to you."
"country?"
A hint of enthusiasm flashed in the constable's eyes.
Their ultimate goal is this piece of land.
It may not be the case now, but it may be the case in the future. Why rush?
Think about it.
Holding the most money in the world in your left hand and the greatest power in your right hand, sitting in a high position, how does that feel?
"Jiang Shan will eventually..."
"laugh!"
The hidden arrow pierced his vest fiercely.
The smile on the constable's face froze instantly, and a sharp pain spread down his back. He tensed his body and turned around to look back, only to see Prince An biting a piece of dogtail grass, jumping down from a high place with a nonchalant look and an evil smile on his face, then striding towards him.
The constable fell to the ground with a thud.
There was disbelief in his eyes.
Why is he here? He shouldn't be here.
and.
He clearly knew who he was, yet he still dared to attack!
Squat down.
Prince An patted his face.
"I don't care who you bully, but you can't touch her."
The constable's eyes widened, his breathing became tense, and he opened his mouth to say something, but blood continued to flow out.
Until he dies.
He didn't say a word either.
Prince An stood up, turned to look at the yamen runners who surrounded him, and pinched his wrist.
"Either get out or die here and we'll be buried together later."
The yamen runners had not been with the constable for long. They usually only had a drinking and eating relationship with him and followed his orders. Now that the constable was dead, and the man in front of them was the real prince, how could they dare to say anything? After hearing what Prince An said, they fled everywhere like birds and beasts.
"Throw them all into a mass grave."
Pointing at the bodies of Song Jinhuai and his son, Prince An ordered the guards to deal with them, then turned to look at Chu Jiuning and smiled.
"How was it? I didn't expect to meet you here, did I?"
"Thank you, Prince, for saving me." Chu Jiuning saluted him. "Why would the Prince come to a place like Jiangzhou?"
Prince An looked at Chu Jiuning's beautiful face and smiled.
Why did you come to Jiangzhou?
Of course, he came for her. She and the prince were alone together, and if something happened to them, his life would be in trouble.
He would never give the prince any chance.
Even though it was so dangerous, the prince didn't know to accompany her. It was obvious that the prince had no romantic feelings for her, and he just took the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
And he doesn't know.
In the alley outside, separated by a wall.
The prince was sitting in the carriage, with a cold and fierce look on his face, listening to Shen Liuguang talking about what was happening inside.
"Prince An's brother?"
The constable had not been in office long and was very young.
It took them some time to find it.
It turned out that he was Prince Jing's son born outside the palace, and he had been raised outside and had never returned to the palace.
They didn't know whether Prince An knew about it, but the constable definitely knew.
original.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the others did not know who the real mastermind behind the scenes was until the identity of the constable came to light.
certainly.
It's not just the constables who surfaced, there are many more.
It's shockingly many.
In addition to Prince An, who was his only legitimate son, Prince Jing also had many illegitimate sons and daughters in his mansion. He also had forty or fifty concubines, more than twenty sons, and more than a dozen daughters.
Shen Liuguang and the others calculated carefully.
Prince Jing has probably not rested for a single day in these years, and has been constantly creating children.
The wives and concubines in the mansion all have status and come from prominent families.
The women kept outside were all bought in.
Those in the mansion are used to save his face and are carefully trained, while those outside are willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
Count them all.
He has almost fifty sons and daughters, many of whom he has placed in various places to do things for him.
This is an astonishing statistic. Since the founding of the Great Dynasty, with so many women, no emperor has ever had more than fifty children.
The prince let Prince An go in.
I wanted to test whether Prince An knew about the existence of these people.
Prince An looked coldly at the body of the constable on the ground. Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up and he turned to ask Chu Jiuning.
"You bought this house back?"
Chu Jiuning nodded.
"This is my grandfather's property. I don't want it to fall into other people's hands."
Said.
She turned and said to Amber.
"I'm sending out notices, hiring skilled craftsmen at high prices. I want to restore this house."
Everything was restored to its original state, bit by bit.
No strangers live here.
Then let the dead live there.
There are so many people in the Chang family, and so many spirit tablets need a place to be enshrined.
They will move back in later.
"good."
Amber looked at the deserted yard and felt very sad.
If it can be restored exactly the same, it would be as if there are still living people here, which is also a wish.
Prince An could feel a heavy pressure coming from Chu Jiuning. Although she had no expression on her face, he could feel that she was very sad.
So he stepped forward and said.
"This isn't a good place to talk about this, why don't we go to the restaurant first?"
As I rode my horse at full speed all the way here, I also felt something strange. There must be a lot of things going on in Jiangzhou.
It's quite interesting.
Chu Jiuning nodded.
When the group was about to turn around and leave, Chu Jiuning suddenly turned around and looked at the man with half of his face injured.
"Miss, do you want to drive him away?"
Chu Jiuning looked at the wound on his face, his legs that were about to rot, and when she met his eyes full of complicated expressions, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She waved to him.
The man was sweating profusely with every step he took. It was obvious that his injuries were really serious.
He walked in front of Chu Jiuning. He was obviously taller than her, but because of his injury and hunched back, he was a head shorter than Chu Jiuning.
"Can you speak?"
Chu Jiuning raised her hand to push aside his messy and dirty long hair. When she saw his eyes that were like dead trees, the uncomfortable feeling suddenly became so strong that it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
He shook his head.
He uttered two words, "Ah," but his voice was already as hoarse as it could be.
His body was dirty and torn, and he looked like he hadn't taken a bath in years. He smelled terrible.
"Then come with me. I'll get you a doctor to heal your legs so you can walk again, okay?"
The dirty man was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Chu Jiuning in disbelief, as if he didn't believe what she said was true.
"If you go down like this, I'm afraid you won't live long. Do you want to die like this?"
His dirty eyes suddenly became chaotic, as if countless things were constantly churning and colliding in his eyes.
As his body trembled violently, he became excited and shook his head.
"Don't get excited."
Chu Jiuning supported him.
She didn't know why he was so excited or why he was in this house.
"Let's go."
Amber and Mingtang also stepped forward to support him, and then everyone found a chair and let him sit on it. The two guards lifted the chair and walked out easily.
"Prince, I have to go back first and settle him down before asking the doctor to come and treat him."
"Well, go ahead. I have something else to do."
Prince An knew where they lived. The conditions there were poor and he didn't like it. He had to stay in an inn, and he had things to investigate.
then.
He waved to Chu Jiuning and watched them leave.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Prince An turned around suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and spoke angrily like a wild beast.
"I wonder who dares to hurt her!"
