After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 269: Confiscated house and exiled

"Lin Cheng, I just want to ask you, is Wang Shi in your house now?"

Lin Cheng remembered that Wang had been missing for many days. He rolled his eyes and said, "I have never seen Wang. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to search for her."

Emperor Jingsheng waved his hand, and immediately a figure hurried away.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Yu lifted his robe and knelt down: "I also have something I want to ask your Majesty to look at."

Emperor Jingsheng's eyes darkened slightly: "Present it."

Eunuch Li went down to take it and handed it to Emperor Jingsheng.

Emperor Jingsheng glanced at him a few times, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. Finally, he laughed out of anger: "Lin Cheng, it seems that you are really good at being the Minister of Personnel. 'Great achievements', you bastard!"

Lin Cheng was confused, not understanding why the first half of Emperor Jingsheng's sentence seemed to be praising him, but the second half suddenly became a curse: "Your Majesty, calm down. I don't know that this humble minister..."

Before he could finish, there was another "bang" and a ledger was thrown at his feet.

Lin Cheng immediately picked it up and took a look at it, then his face changed drastically. How on earth did this thing get into the hands of King Rui? !

This time he was really panicked: "Your Majesty, your humble servant, your humble servant..."

He waited for a long time but could not utter a single word. It was written in black and white and he had no way to refute it.

Emperor Jingsheng slowed down and looked at Jiang Chen: "Prince Chen, you are really my good son."

The thunderous wrath in his words was self-evident.

Jiang Chen was a man of character. He immediately realized that he was also implicated. He lifted his robe and knelt down, saying, "Father, please calm down. I admit my guilt."

Over the years, the Third Prince Jiang Chen and the Minister of Personnel Lin Cheng have always been in charge of the court's disaster relief funds. Now that Lin Cheng has embezzled disaster relief funds, how can Jiang Chen get away with it?

But Jiang Chen showed no fear at all. He kowtowed to the ground and said in a clear voice, "I know my crime. It was because I neglected my duty and failed to supervise properly that someone took advantage of me. I am guilty. Please punish me, father."

His voice was like a bell, and every word he said was to say that he was wrong, but every word he said was to clear himself of guilt.

Looking at Jiang Chen's posture, Lin Cheng could understand everything.

This Prince Chen wants to push himself out to take the blame!

He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was doomed this time. He kept knelt and cried, "I know I am wrong. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"

He slammed his head to the ground, and while lowering his head, he desperately winked at Jiang Chen, just begging him to save his life.

Jiang Chen didn't even look at him. He just sneered and turned the glance that fell on Jiang Yu back to Emperor Jingsheng, saying word by word: "I never thought that there would be someone around me who is so audacious and lawless, trapping tens of thousands of disaster victims in dire straits. I beg you, father, to execute the Minister of Personnel Lin Cheng immediately."

Lin Cheng's breathing stagnated and he looked at him in disbelief. Just as he was about to say something, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, I just received a report from the Imperial Guards that Wang's body was dug up in the back garden of the Shangshu Mansion."

This is impossible!

Lin Cheng suddenly collapsed to the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned pale.

Emperor Jingsheng ran out of patience and waved his hand: "Drag him away and behead him."

"Your Majesty! This humble servant did not do this! Your Majesty!"

Lin Cheng's blood was flowing backwards. He no longer cared about his face and image. He crawled to Jiang Chen's feet with his hands and feet and cried out in a lost voice: "Your Highness, please save me. I don't want to die. Your Highness, please save me!"

Jiang Chen's face was as cold as ice: "A threat to Dayan like you deserves to be cut into pieces."

Seeing that he could not get help, Lin Cheng immediately turned his gaze to Duke Zhou, followed by Jiang Hong and Grand Tutor Di.

But no one even looked at him, and they were all so indifferent, as if Lin Cheng did not exist in this world.

Lin Cheng trembled, and suddenly laughed crazily. In his laughter, he angrily said: "Don't forget, back then you..."

Before he finished speaking, several court officials covered Lin Cheng's mouth. Another person took a big step and stood in front of Lin Cheng, saying in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin seems to have lost his mind. It is better to drag him away as soon as possible to avoid defiling this Golden Palace."

Emperor Jingsheng raised his hand tiredly, and the man was dragged away whimpering and struggling.

Jiang Hong and Jiang Chen looked at each other, then turned away with a sneer.

On the other side, He, who had already packed up her gold and silver jewelry, was planning to take Lin Chengyu away from the back door in a carriage, but suddenly a group of armored royal guards rushed into the yard and forced the two back into the house.

Then there was extreme silence.

He was getting anxious and kept pacing back and forth, biting her nails. Seeing that the morning court time had passed and Lin Cheng still hadn't returned, she was about to ask Cui'e to find out some news when she saw a eunuch coming in accompanied by a group of imperial guards.

He fell to the ground in despair, while Lin Chengyu cried loudly beside her. The eunuch in front of her was still reading the imperial edict, but she could not hear anything. Only those few words echoed in her ears.

"The criminal Lin Cheng has been executed... The Shangshu Mansion has been confiscated... He has been exiled to the border..."

It's all over.

……

Almost at the same time when the Imperial Guards stepped into the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, Yun Qi knocked on Yun Shuning's door.

"Ning'er, I just received news that Lin Cheng was beheaded this morning, the Shangshu Mansion was confiscated, and his entire family was exiled."

Yun Qi told Yun Shuning everything he knew, and Yun Shuning sneered, "You deserve it. Evil will be punished, and you deserve to die."

She seemed to be thinking of something: "What about Wang? Didn't she do anything else after Lin Cheng died?"

Wang has always been a desperate person. Now that she has heard such bad news, no one knows what she will do. But it is hard to say. She might even collapse and go crazy.

But a clear voice came from my ears: "Wang is also dead."

Yun Shuning was shocked this time: "Lin Cheng killed him?"

It is not surprising that she would have such thoughts. Lin Cheng values ​​his reputation and official position so much that he would certainly be afraid that Wang's sudden return would affect his career. It would not be surprising if he took action against Wang for this reason.

But Yun Qi shook his head and said, "It's not Lin Cheng."

In order to catch the big fish behind Wang, he ordered people to keep a close eye on her. However, after she was kidnapped that day, there was no news of her at all. When she was found again, she was already a corpse and buried in her own yard.

Who could have done it?

Yun Qi frowned slightly. Somehow, a person's face suddenly appeared in his mind.

There was a vague and unclear relationship between that man and Ning'er. If he did it to protect Ning'er, it was not impossible...

"Third brother, what are you thinking about?" Yun Shuning waved his hand in front of Yun Qi.

Yun Qi came back to his senses immediately, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I didn't think about anything."

He paused and added, "After all, she is dead. It's her own fault. You don't have to think too much about it."

Yun Shuning nodded. She looked at Yun Qi for a while and saw that he obviously had something else to say to her, so she smiled and said, "Third brother, just say whatever you want to say. Don't feel burdened."

Yun Qi met her bright eyes, gritted his teeth, and pushed the wheelchair back a few steps.
