"Yep!"
Hearing this, Hong Chengyu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly pushed Qiao Jingen away and ran towards the housekeeper, "Hurry and prepare a sedan for me. I have to go see the prince now! Hurry, hurry!"
"Okay, okay!"
The housekeeper didn't dare to stop, turned around and ran towards the door.
"Master Hong."
But Duduo stood up, put the knife on his waist, and chuckled, "How can things be so troublesome? Why don't you just let me do it."
"General, I won't bother you with this little thing."
Now in the troubled times, how could Hong Chengyu dare to let this evil star take action?
If his identity is revealed, and he is involved, the entire Hong family, including Hong Chengchou, will collapse.
"It's not good! It's not good!"
At this moment, he suddenly saw Bai Jintang running in from outside. He was so anxious that he was out of breath. He picked up the teacup on the table and drank. He glanced at Duduo from the corner of his eye.
"General, when did you come? Why is there no news at all?"
He spoke nervously.
"The general has been here for a while. Let's not talk about this. What happened?"
Hong Chengyu was so confused at this moment that he couldn't help but speak.
"Hurry up and ask Li Shiwen to withdraw. Wang Dehua has collapsed! My housekeeper told me that the guy was arrested by Dongchang! Wei Zhongxian personally led the arrest! Things have changed!"
Bai Jintang saluted Duduo and hurriedly replied.
"It's over..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Hong Chengyu's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground!
"what happened?"
Bai Jintang was also dumbfounded and quickly helped the person up.
Only then did Qiao Jingen tell him everything that had just happened.
"That, that's not..."
Only then did Bai Jintang realize why Hong Chengyu was acting like this.
"It seems that none of your people can stand up to you."
Duduo smiled contemptuously, "In the final analysis, we still have to come at the critical moment."
"No, no need."
Although Hong Chengyu's face turned pale, he shook his hand and sighed, "I don't care about that now. General, you have a special status! You must not be exposed for such a trivial matter! After all, compared to national affairs, this matter is Nothing happened."
Hearing this, Duduo couldn't help but look serious. He didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Hong Chengyu was actually quite solid.
How did he know that Mr. Hong was afraid of being implicated?
After all, Hong Chengyu's son was just framed and murdered. At most, one of his sons would die. If Duduo was caught, the entire Hong family would be destroyed.
"But, my nephew..."
Qiao Jing'en was also startled for a moment. I'm afraid that the only one who is most likely to save people now is the general in front of him. Who would have thought that he actually refused.
"I can only blame him for his bad luck."
Hong Chengyu seemed to have made up his mind, straightened his back and gritted his teeth and said, "Now the strong man must cut off his wrist! Since we can't rescue him, we can't let his affairs be exposed! He knows too much..."
"this……"
Qiao Jing'en and Bai Jintang couldn't help but shudder when they heard this. They had to say, it was really cruel!
"Mr. Hong, I understand the meaning of your words."
Duduo glanced at Hong Chengyu with some admiration and said, "But if we don't take action, how are you going to deal with that monster? Your current backers are probably all gone, right?"
"General, you are right."
Hearing this, Hong Chengyu was not discouraged. Instead, his eyes were filled with raging anger. "Just because these backers have fallen, it doesn't mean that we are gone. Our Hong family has plenty of money. When the time comes, we can operate it again. Even if I have spent all my family property to let that boy die in my hands!"
"No wonder you Mingren can't defeat us. Such intrigues are really disdainful."
Duduo chuckled lightly, waved his hand and headed outside, "Remember to send all the food and grass over. You will not be short of a penny when the time comes."
"Prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to go to the imperial prison."
Hong Chengyu gritted his teeth and shouted towards the door, "Prepare the food and drinks."
"Brother Hong, is there no other way?"
Qiao Jingen couldn't help but pull him.
"The matter is so important that it is no longer up to me."
Hong Chengyu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said bitterly, "Besides, you don't want us all to be exposed, right? Shijie is a man who knows the general situation, and he won't blame me."
…
In the imperial prison, Sun Yunhe was extremely anxious.
"What the hell is going on? There are so many of you and you can't even watch a prisoner?"
He couldn't help but curse even a jailer, "Everyone was fine last night, why did he die today? How can I explain to the governor?"
In the cell where Hong Shijie was imprisoned, he was already a cold corpse, bleeding from all his orifices, and his death was extremely miserable!
"I, we don't know either."
The jailer also had a sad face and said helplessly, "He was talking and laughing with us last night, saying he would be able to go out today. Who knew he..."
"Find out how he died!"
Sun Yunhe pushed the jailer away and headed outside.
"Brother Sun, please beg me for mercy."
Zhang Fengqi's almost pleading voice sounded.
When he arrived outside the imperial prison, Wei Zhongxian had been waiting for him for a long time. After hearing what his godson said, his expression became ugly.
"I think it was probably Hong Chengyu who did it. He was the only one who saw Hong Shijie yesterday."
"It's so cruel that even my own son can do it."
He sighed, with a gloomy expression on his face. Not to mention Hu Yunqing Gao's displeasure when Hong Shijie died, Chongzhen was certainly displeased.
But even so, he still had to report it truthfully, turned around and headed towards Wenhua Hall.
"What! Hong Shijie is dead! What do you Dongchang and Jinyiwei eat! Can people die in prison?"
Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor was furious when he heard this.
"This old slave has neglected his duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
Wang Chengen on the side felt secretly comfortable.
After all, he is an old man from Prince Xin's Mansion and grew up with Chongzhen. Now that Wang Dehua has fallen, he also wants to be the chief minister of etiquette.
"Okay, you must give me a thorough investigation."
Chongzhen was so angry that he pointed at Wei Zhongxian and said, "If this incident makes Biao...Hu Yunqing angry, then you should stop staying with me and go guard the imperial mausoleum for the emperor!"
"Slave... I obey."
Wei Zhongxian trembled with fright and quickly stood up and replied.
After all, if he loses the emperor's favor, those civil servants will definitely not let him go.
"Your Majesty, when the slave came back earlier, Mr. Hu said that we could go find him."
Wang Chengen hurriedly reminded him, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
This is a good opportunity to build a career.
