Chapter 338: Life for a Life (2)
At this moment, a jailer came over and stopped in front of his cell door. Shen Yuan looked up and shouted in surprise: "Dong Hao!"
Dong Hao was the person who wanted to meet him. He was now dressed as a jailer, probably to sneak in and talk to him.
"Listen to me, this is all a misunderstanding." Chen Yuan said quickly, "I'd like to ask Your Highness to do me a favor this time. I will definitely repay Your Highness in the future."
Chen Yuan had never expected Shen Gui to rescue him. Shen Gui would do anything to protect his career, so how could he risk his life for him? The only person who could help him now was Fu Xiuyi, but members of the royal family didn't value loyalty or loyalty; they only cared about proving their usefulness. Chen Yuan said, "The evidence I gave Your Highness is still incomplete. Your Highness will soon submit a memorial to His Majesty. Please find a way to rescue me, and I'll complete the final piece for Your Highness."
Dong Hao's eyes flickered upon hearing this. Shen Yuan's words clearly implied that the evidence against Shen Xin given to Fu Xiuyi was incomplete. Shen Yuan had kept a hand in reserve, fearing that Fu Xiuyi would turn against him, but he hadn't expected to find himself imprisoned today, forcing him to take out the life-saving talisman in advance.
Seeing Dong Hao remained silent, Shen Yuan became anxious: "This is just a misunderstanding. It's not difficult to handle. I can pay for it myself. As long as Your Highness gives a heads-up to the other party, this has happened to someone before."
A big part of the reason Chen Yuan was so calm was because this matter didn't seem that bad. It was even simpler than the Shen Mansion family banquet. The Shen Mansion family banquet was because he and Jing Chuchu slept together in front of all the ladies. No matter what, Jing Chuchu was at a disadvantage, and the Jing family was too unreasonable, so he had no way to deal with it. When he killed Sun Cainan, only Jing Chuchu and her maid witnessed it. As long as Jing Chuchu and the maid testified, he could still escape. As for the adulterer, all he had to do was give him some money to appease him, and then let Fu Xiuyi's people accuse him of any crime, such as that he wanted to assassinate Chen Yuan and was restrained by Chen Yuan. As for the murder, as long as the person killed was not from a wealthy family, it could be covered up in the end.
Moreover, his identity seemed to be still unknown. In the eyes of others, they only knew that he had killed someone, but they didn't know who killed him.
Dong Hao shook his head and said, “Chen Yuan, you are in big trouble this time.”
The smile that had just appeared on Chen Yuan's face suddenly stopped, and he was a little confused about what Dong Hao meant.
"Do you know who the man you killed was?"
A vague sense of foreboding arose in Shen Yuan's heart. In the darkness, he saw Dong Hao slowly speak.
"He is the only legitimate son of the Minister of Personnel, Sun Tianzheng's son, Sun Cainan."
…
A large crowd gathered at the entrance to the General's Mansion, all holding clubs and looking ferocious. Even the Shen family guards at the entrance were unable to stop them. Inside, Shen Yue hid in Chen Ruoqiu's arms, trembling with fear. "Mom, did my second brother really kill someone?"
As Chen Ruoqiu tried to comfort her, she felt a bit confused. Those people outside claimed to be from the Minister of Personnel, saying that Chen Yuan had killed the Minister's legitimate son, Sun Cainan, and they were clamoring to come in and smash things up. But why would Chen Yuan kill Sun Cainan for no reason?
Shen Gui and Shen Wan were already blocking them outside. If it weren't for Shen Xin's Shen Family Army, I'm afraid those people would have really broken in.
Aunt Wan hid in the small room, nervously holding Shen Dongling's hand and saying, "If it was really the Second Young Master who killed someone, those people wouldn't do anything to us, right?"
"Don't worry," Shen Dongling said, "They only want to deal with my second brother. What does it have to do with us?" She sat behind the screen, but did not open the page of the book in her hand at all.
