The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 422
Oops!

Jiang Chen was caught off guard and was surrounded by the secret guards of the Jingguo Mansion.

"Who is here? How dare you trespass on the Yasukuni Mansion?" The aggrieved guards were very excited, and finally let them catch the assassin.

Without saying a word, Jiang Chen drew his sword and stabbed.

he can't reveal his identity
After half a column of incense.

"Wait, I'm from the Regent."

After several cuts were made on his body, seeing that there was no hope of escape, Jiang Chen had no choice but to reveal his identity.

The hidden guards were stunned, the assassin was actually a member of the regent?
"Go and report to the Duke."

Bai Qi rushed over after hearing the news, just in time to see this scene, so he took Jiang Chen to see Cui Quan.

Cui Hengyue, who was hiding in the dark, also quietly returned to the room.

"Yuan Niang, did you already know the identity of the assassin?" Shui Rong couldn't help asking.

Cui Hengyue paused, and briefly explained: "During the day, the Regent took me to see Su Langjun and the others on purpose, in fact, he wanted to test whether I was with them.

"I didn't go tonight, but someone did. The regent must have not caught anyone, and he suspected that it was me, so he sent someone to confirm.

"However, I didn't expect the regent to send Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen is the Prince Regent's confidant, as long as his identity is exposed, the Prince Regent will also be exposed.

Shui Rong grasped the point of the words, and asked: "Someone went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to save people, did you send it, Yuan Niang?"

"Not mine."

After Cui Hengyue denied it, she continued to sit under the lamp and silently write the dossier.

But at this moment, Cui Quan was sitting on a chair with his coat on, looking at Jiang Chen whose hands were bound, his face was livid.

"Commander Jiang, what is your intention to sneak into my residence in such a late-night disguise?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

He couldn't tell Lord Yasukuni that he was here to confirm certain things, and some things happened to be related to his granddaughter.
After holding back for a long time, Jiang Chen finally spit out a few words: "This is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Cui Quan's face was full of suspicion: "Then ask Commander Jiang to explain, what kind of misunderstanding is this?"

Jiang Chen: "."

After a moment of silence, a flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Chen's mind: "Master Guo, it's like this, assassins have entered the Prince Regent's Palace tonight.

"The assassin was very cunning, he wounded the guards of the Prince Regent's Palace and escaped.

"I have tracked this all the way, originally wanted to report to you first, but the matter is urgent, I broke into your residence without reporting in time.

"I want to wait until I catch the assassin before pleading guilty to you. Who knows that the assassin didn't catch me, but I was caught instead."

Jiang Chen revealed a look of shame: "Jiang is incompetent, failed to catch the assassin who broke into the Prince Regent's mansion, shamed the Prince Regent, and disturbed the Duke's slumber, he deserves death.

"Please punish the Lord."

At this time, Cui Yongzong came in from the outside and stopped half a foot away from Jiang Chen: "Since Commander Jiang is following the assassin here, why is he dressed like this?"

Jiang Chen: "."

Damn, how did he forget this?
Who met an assassin while working in the mansion, and changed into night clothes to chase the assassin?

Failed.

"I, I have unavoidable difficulties." After Jiang Chen stammered, he lost his previous momentum.

Cui Yongzong continued to ask: "What are your difficulties?"

"Not to be said."

"Where is the assassin?"

"Escaped."

"Who is the assassin?"

"I don't know."

"Why did the assassin sneak into the Prince Regent's Palace?"

"It should be to assassinate the regent."

"Is the regent injured?"

"Regent"

Jiang Chen originally wanted to say that the Prince Regent was not in the mansion, but with a thought in his heart, he immediately changed his words: "There is no injury."

Afterwards, Cui Yongzong asked another question, but Jiang Chen tactfully avoided the real purpose.

Seeing that no valuable answers could be found, Cui Quan ordered Jiang Chen to be temporarily detained.

"Father, Jiang Chen sneaked into our mansion in the middle of the night, it was definitely not that simple, he must be lying." Cui Yongzong said to his father.

Cui Quan showed a tired look: "I know, after dawn, you send someone to the Prince Regent's Mansion, inform the Prince Regent of this matter, and see how he responds."

"Yes, then father rest early."

After Cui Yongzong left, Cui Quan summoned Bai Qi and asked, "Where did Jiang Chen go after entering the mansion?"

Bai Qi replied respectfully: "According to the report from the dark guards, they found Jiang Chen outside Jinglan Garden."

Is it Jinglan Court again?
Cui Quan became suspicious: "What happened to Yuan Niang?"

"Nothing happened." After Bai Qi finished answering, he added: "Maybe it's because I was too tired from the injury, and I didn't hear the sound of fighting outside."

"What about the servants of Jinglan Garden? Didn't they hear it too?"

"Yes, the lady guarding the gate came out to take a look, but she was so frightened that she closed the gate after seeing it."

Cui Quan was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Take care of Jiang Chen, don't let him run away."

Bai Qi said yes and left.

In the yard, Liu Yang saw Bai Qi coming out, and greeted him: "I heard that there are assassins in the mansion? But the assassin from before?"

Bai Qi stopped and looked at him meaningfully: "The assassin refused to say anything, and I don't know if he is the former assassin or not."

"Where is the assassin now? I'll interrogate him, and I will make him tell everything." Liu Yang and Bai Qi looked at each other.

"No need, the Duke will personally interrogate tomorrow."

As if he was afraid that Liu Yang would have some thoughts in his heart, Bai Qi stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, his tone softened a lot: "Recently, many things have happened in the mansion, the only one who can trust the Duke is you and me, you have to recharge your batteries, Do a good job for the Duke of the country.

"It's getting late, go to rest."

Liu Yang lowered his eyes, with a submissive attitude: "Yes, Commander."

At dawn, Chen Zhan returned home from outside the city. He had just changed his clothes and wanted to call Jiang Chen in to inquire about the situation. He heard the report from the guard at the door:
"Master, the prince and the county king are asking to see each other."

"Let them in."

As soon as Chen Linyu and Chen Linshen entered, they knelt down in front of Chen Zhan: "Father, my son is incompetent. He failed to guard those two little thieves, and he also failed to catch the rescuer."

Chen Zhan's face suddenly changed, and anger welled up in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Linshen hung his head and dared not make a sound, so Chen Linyu told his father what happened last night.

After listening, Chen Zhan's face was as black as ink, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.

At this time, the guard at the gate said: "Master, the people from the Jingguo Palace are asking to see you."

Chen Linyu's heart sank: Jiang Chen didn't return all night, could it be that he was caught by people from the Yasukuni Mansion?
Sure enough, Zhu Lin from the Yasukuni Mansion said to Chen Zhan expressionlessly: "Prince Regent, Commander Jiang from your mansion broke into our Yasukuni Mansion without authorization last night and was captured by us.

"Duke Yasukuni ordered me to ask, what is the regent's intention for this move?"

Chen Zhan shot his sharp eyes at the two sons, but seeing the two sons bowed their heads and did not speak, he became even more angry.

But in front of outsiders, he still suppressed it: "Go back and tell Lord Yasukuni. I will go to your mansion later and explain this to Lord Yasukuni personally."

Zhu Lin then said goodbye.

As soon as he left, the two brothers Chen Linyu knelt down again: "Father, calm down."

"Snapped--"

Chen Zhan slapped the table with his palm and roared angrily, "I have left so many people for you, but you actually made things like this, huh?
"On weekdays, you act cautiously and never make mistakes. What happened last night?
"Huh? Answer me."

Facing his father's overwhelming anger, Chen Linyu trembled all over and said, "Father calm down, this is how it happened"
