Chapter 341: Life for Life (5)
Who knew he would die at the hands of Shen Yuan? This time, the Taoist's words really came true: Sun Tianzheng was destined to be childless.
"Chen Yuan..." Sun Tianzheng gritted his teeth and said, "I want him to pay with his life!"
"Master," one of Sun Tianzheng's concubines said, wiping tears from her eyes, "I heard that the servants brought that woman back as well. Ultimately, it was that woman who caused our young master to be like this. Master plans to..."
Sun Tianzheng sneered and said, "Don't kill yourself yet. Leave some breath for my wife."
The concubine shuddered. All the concubines had experienced Madam Sun's methods. Now that Madam Sun was suffering from the pain of losing her son, there was nothing she couldn't do to Jing Chuchu.
"The Shen family can only target Shen Yuan, but the Jing family wants to escape unscathed?" Sun Tianzheng made a "crack" sound and crushed the cup in his hand. The cup scratched his hand, and blood dripped down. He was still undecided and said angrily: "I want everyone in the Jing family to be buried with Yuan'er!"
The whole capital was discussing the fact that Chen Yuan had killed the only son of the Minister of Personnel. In Prince Ding's mansion, Dong Hao stood in the hall, bowing his head to the person on the high seat.
Fu Xiuyi stroked the rim of his teacup with one hand and thought, "I was supposed to present the memorial to my father, the Shen family, tomorrow, but Shen Yuan got into trouble today."
"The evidence in Chen Yuan's hands is not yet complete. Your Highness, do you want to find a way to get him to speak?"
"No need," Fu Xiuyi waved his hand: "What Chen Yuan gave me is enough. Even if I want it to be more complete, I can't do anything about it."
"Your Highness, do you mean to let Chen Yuan go?" Dong Hao asked.
"It would be fine if it was anyone else, but it had to be Sun Tianzheng. Sun Tianzheng is King Zhou's man. King Zhou will definitely intervene in this matter. If I take action, it will only make King Zhou alert. Chen Yuan's disaster this time is too big." Fu Xiuyi shook his head.
Dong Hao was silent for a moment. "But what if Chen Yuan betrays His Highness?"
"Chen Yuan is always hiding his back-up plan, so we have to be on guard against what you said." Fu Xiuyi looked at the teacup in his hand: "So not only can this matter not help Chen Yuan, but we have to urge the Ministry of Justice to execute him quickly. Killing Chen Yuan in prison will inevitably arouse suspicion, so you should find a way to feed him something."
Dong Hao quickly agreed. He then asked Fu Xiuyi, "Your Highness, will you submit a memorial tomorrow?"
"No." Fu Xiuyi rubbed his forehead. "This matter will cause a stir. Talking about the memorial now won't make a big enough splash. Let's wait and see." He suddenly opened his eyes. "However, you'd better check who Chen Yuan has had a grudge with recently."
Dong Hao was shocked: "Your Highness, are you saying that someone is behind this?"
"Chen Yuan never acts on impulse, but this time he killed someone on impulse, and the person he killed was Sun Tianzheng's only son. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Besides, why would Jing Chuchu meet Shen Yuan when she was trying to steal someone? It's very strange."
"Chen Yuan is not someone who will be plotted against." Dong Hao said: "And if he can control this even from now on, this person must be very familiar with Chen Yuan."
"He's been able to force Chen Yuan into this state," Fu Xiuyi said. "This man cannot be kept. I don't cultivate a chess piece to be used and become useless." At this point, a gloomy glint crossed Fu Xiuyi's eyes. He wasn't as nonchalant as he appeared. He had carefully cultivated Chen Yuan for many years, not only because of his wisdom, but more importantly, because he was a member of the Shen family. Being in Chen Yuan's position would make many things easier in the future. However, now he had to sacrifice the rook to save the king. The confidant he had carefully cultivated would no longer be of any use.
