Oops!

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

"Who is here? How dare you break into Duke Jingguo's palace without permission?" The secret guards, who were full of grievances, were very excited and finally allowed them to catch the assassin.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, just drew his sword and stabbed.

He can't reveal his identity...

After half a stick of incense.

"Wait a minute, I'm the regent's man."

After getting several wounds on his body and seeing no hope of escaping, Jiang Chen had no choice but to reveal his identity.

The secret guards were shocked. The assassin was actually a member of the Regent?

"Go and report to the Duke."

Bai Qi came over after hearing the news and happened 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, have you known the identity of the assassin for a long time?" Shui Rong couldn't help but ask.

Cui Hengyue paused and explained briefly: "The regent deliberately took me to meet Su Langjun and the others during the day. In fact, he just wanted to test whether I and them were in the same group.

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

"However, I didn't expect that the regent actually sent Jiang Chen."

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

Shui Rong grasped the key point of the words and asked: "Someone went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to save people. Was it Yuanniang you sent?"

"Not my person."

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

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

"Commander Jiang, what do you want to do by dressing up like this and sneaking into my house late at night?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

He couldn't tell Duke Jing that he was here to confirm something, and that something happened to be related to his granddaughter...

After holding it in for a long time, Jiang Chen finally spat out a few words: "This is a misunderstanding."

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

Jiang Chen: "..."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen had an idea flash in his mind: "My lord, it's like this. An assassin entered the Regent's palace tonight.

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

"I followed you all the way here. I originally wanted to report it to you first, but the matter was urgent and I broke into your house before I could report it.

"I wanted to wait until I caught the assassin before I could apologize to you. Who knew the assassin wasn't caught, but I was caught..."

Jiang Chen showed a look of shame: "Jiang was incompetent. He failed to catch the assassin who broke into the Regent's palace. He humiliated the Regent and disturbed the Duke's dream. He deserves death.

"Please punish me, Lord."

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

Jiang Chen: "..."

Damn it, how could he forget this?

Who met an assassin while working as an errand in a mansion, and then specially changed into night clothes to chase the assassin?

Misstep.

"I...I have some last resort reasons." Jiang Chen finished speaking hesitantly, losing his previous momentum.

Cui Yongzong continued to ask: "What is the reason?"

"Can't say."

"Where is the assassin?"

"Escaped."

"Who is the assassin?"

"I don't know."

"Why did the assassin infiltrate the Regent's Palace?"

"Maybe... he wants to assassinate the regent."

"Then the regent was injured?"

"Regent......"

Jiang Chen originally wanted to say that the regent was not in the palace, but his heart moved and he immediately changed his words: "No injuries."

Afterwards, Cui Yongzong asked questions again, but Jiang Chen tactfully avoided the real purpose.

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

"Father, Jiang Chen sneaked into our house late at night and was determined not to be so simple. He must be lying." Cui Yongzong said to his father.

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

"Yes, then father, take a rest early."

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

Bai Qi respectfully replied: "According to the secret guard's report, they found Jiang Chen outside Jinglan Garden."

Is it Jinglan Garden again?

Cui Quan became suspicious: "What's happening with Yuan Niang?"

"There was no movement." After Bai Qi answered, he added: "Maybe he was injured and too tired. There was no sound of fighting outside."

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

"Yes, the gatekeeper came out to take a look, but she was so frightened that she closed the gate."

Cui Quan was silent for a moment and waved his hand: "Watch Jiang Chen and don't let him escape."

Bai Qi said yes and left.

In the yard, Liu Yang saw Bai Qi coming out and greeted him: "I heard that an assassin entered the house? But who was the assassin before?"

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

"Where is the assassin now? Let me interrogate him, and I will definitely let him tell the whole story." Liu Yang and Bai Qi looked at each other.

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

As if he was afraid that Liu Yang might have something in his mind, Bai Qi reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone much softer: "A lot of things have happened in the mansion recently. You and I are the only ones who can trust the Duke of Guo. You have to recharge your batteries.

Do your job well for the Lord.

"It's getting late, let's go and rest."

Liu Yang lowered his eyes and said with a respectful attitude: "Yes, Commander."

...

At dawn, Chen Zhan returned home from outside the city. He had just changed his clothes and wanted to ask Jiang Chen to come in to ask about the situation, but the guard at the door reported:

"Master, the crown prince and the prince would like to see you."

"Let them in."

As soon as Chen Linyu and Chen Linshen entered, they knelt in front of Chen Zhan: "Father, I am incompetent. I failed to guard the two thieves and failed to catch the rescuer."

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

Chen Linshen lowered his head and did not dare to say a word, so Chen Linyu told his father what happened last night.

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

At this time, the guard at the door reported: "Master, someone from Duke Jingguo's residence wants 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 Jingguo Palace?

Sure enough, Zhu Lin from the Duke of Jingguo's Palace said to Chen Zhan expressionlessly: "Prince Regent, last night Commander Jiang from your residence broke into our Duke of Jingguo's Palace without authorization and was captured by us.

"Duke Jingguo ordered me to ask, what is the intention of the regent in doing this?"

Chen Zhan's sharp eyes were directed at his two sons, but when he saw them hanging their heads and saying nothing, he felt even more angry.

But in front of outsiders, he still suppressed it: "Go back and tell Duke Jingguo that I will go to your mansion later and explain the matter to Duke Jingguo in person."

Zhu Lin then took his leave.

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

"Snapped--"

Chen Zhan slapped his palm on the table and roared: "I left so many people for you, but you actually did this, huh?"

"You usually act cautiously and never make mistakes. What happened last night?

"Ah? Answer me."
