Chapter 606 Finding the Mastermind

Linjiang City, government office.

In the cell.

The dim light illuminated the dim environment around, and the cell was filled with a strong bloody and foul smell.

The walls were still stained with blood that had not been completely washed clean, and the torture instruments were displayed in rows, which looked a little creepy.

The prison environment of the government office was naturally not comparable to that of the Linwang Mansion.

At this moment, the cell was airtight, and the unpleasant smell made people want to vomit.

In a separate cell, the ground was damp and had a musty smell. Through the iron bars, a middle-aged man was seen sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

He was about forty years old, but his hair was almost white, and his expression was vicissitudes, as if he was old.

But even so, he could still see some of the temperament of the former superior. That temperament that seemed to be born with him was still difficult to conceal even in such a bad environment.

He closed his eyes quietly and rested his mind, not hearing anything outside the window.

"Dad..."

And in a cell not far away, a voice with a trembling tone came out.

Panic, fear, uneasiness...

Chen Hongsheng in the cell opened his eyes and saw Chen Junru's embarrassed expression and frightened eyes in the cell not far away.

"Dad, now, what should we do now?"

Chen Junru was completely panicked at this moment. There was no time that made him more desperate than now!

In the past, even when he was desperate, he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Because, he still has his dad!

His dad is the head of the Chen family and has great power!

As long as his dad is there, there will be a chance to rescue him and keep him safe!

But now, this last glimmer of hope for Chen Junru was completely extinguished when his dad was also imprisoned!

Chen Junru never thought that even his dad was arrested!

Locked in the same cell as him!

His dad was arrested, who else could save her? !

Chen Junru was really desperate at this moment!

He was going to be beheaded soon!

Chen Junru was completely panicked!

He had not slept since he was sentenced to death and imprisoned in the cell!

He could not sleep!

He was about to die, how could he still sleep? !

Chen Junru, who had experienced so many ups and downs, seemed to be a little mentally ill! He yelled in the cell, roared from time to time, and cried and laughed from time to time.

Especially when he saw his father being locked up in the cell, he could still not move, which made Chen Junru even more desperate!

"Dad, you say something..."

Chen Junru's face was pale, he was about to be beheaded, I don't know if it will be tomorrow, or it may be today, anyway, he is about to die...

Why didn't Dad think of a way!

Is it really going to die here? !

"Dad, please save me... I don't want to die..."

In the cell, Chen Hongsheng opened his eyes and looked at his son who was wailing for help in the cell not far away, with a flash of sadness in his eyes.

It's so complicated!

Chen Hongsheng didn't know why the officials locked him and his son together, but he probably guessed that it was probably related to Lin Jiangnian.

He did it on purpose!

Wanted to let them watch each other despair in the last few days, and let him watch his son die? !

A trace of sharp coldness flashed in Chen Hongsheng's eyes. When he looked at Chen Junru again, his voice sank slightly: "Junru!"

Hearing his father finally speak, Chen Junru's eyes showed a glimmer of hope: "Dad..."

"You are my son of the Chen family, how can you be so spineless! Even if you die, you can't lose the face of the Chen family like this!"

The glimmer of hope that just appeared in Chen Junru's eyes was instantly extinguished: "Dad...you, what did you say?!"

"Dad, save me!"

Chen Junru's eyes were horrified. Has his father really given up on him?

Chen Hongsheng's eyes were complicated, and he sighed deeply: "It's my father who is incompetent. Dad can't save you... This is your life!"

He has tried his best!

But unfortunately, his son is too stupid.

He has countless ways to save him, but he can't cover up this pig son who keeps committing suicide, giving Lin Jiangnian a key handle!

If he could be obedient earlier and not be so stupid...he and the Chen family would not have fallen to this point at all.

At this moment, Chen Hongsheng finally deeply felt the helplessness of a rebellious son who ruined the family business!

Over-pampering him over the years eventually ruined his life!

And ruined his own future!

"Dad, don't..."

Chen Junru's eyes were horrified. He grabbed the iron bars of the cell and said in horror: "Dad, Dad, you must save me... I, I don't want to die..."

"Dad, think of a way quickly, I know you must have a way, right?"

"I am your only son, you have to find a way to save me..."

Chen Junru's voice trembled, and his whole body trembled.

Fear and panic wrapped him.

He didn't want to die!

Chen Hongsheng closed his eyes. At this point, it was too late!

Lin Jiangnian made such a big fuss about this matter just to prevent his Chen family from having any way out. Even if Chen Hongsheng had all the means, he couldn't save Chen Junru now.

"Dad, I will help you get revenge!"

Chen Hongsheng's voice was slightly deep, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and a gleam of brilliance was revealed in the turbidity: "Dad, I will definitely make him buried with you..."

Speaking of this, Chen Hongsheng seemed to realize something and turned his head to look above the cell.

There is a vent as big as a brick, and you can vaguely see the sky outside!

Calculating the time, it should be almost done!

In the cell, Chen Hongsheng was cut off from the outside world. People from the outside Chen family and other aristocratic families wanted to see him, but they were blocked outside the cell.

But even so, he was already prepared!

Even though he entered this cell, he was not completely powerless to resist. He also has a chess piece that has been buried in advance...

Chen Hongsheng's eyes were profound.

In the cell, tranquility returns!

Chen Junru, who was completely desperate, fell to the ground, as if he had lost all his strength, his eyes were dull.

"Squeak!"

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the iron lock opening the door sounded again in the cell.

A sound of footsteps gradually approached, and finally stopped outside the cell.

Chen Junru looked at the door with dull eyes, and saw several guards appearing outside the cell, opening the cell door.

Chen Junru seemed to have expected something: "You, what are you going to do?"

Chen Junru retreated in horror and wanted to retreat.

Several guards walked into the cell.

"Criminal Chen Junru, come with us!"

"Go, where? I, I won't go, I won't go!!"

Chen Junru struggled in fear, turned his head and shouted in fear: "Dad, dad, please save me!"

Chen Hongsheng, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes again and saw several jailors walking into the cell and escorting Chen Junru out.

There was a sharp flash in his eyes.

Immediately, this sharp touch dissipated!

Calm again!

Without saying a word, he just watched the jailer take Chen Junru away and gradually move away.

Until, the cell became quiet again!

I don't know how long it took, but a figure appeared quietly outside the cell door.

"Crack!"

The cell door is open!

"Uncle Chen can still be so calm, I admire him!"

A slightly teasing tone sounded from the cell.

Chen Hongsheng, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw Lin Jiangnian appearing in his sight, his pupils shrank.

"you……"

He stared hard at Lin Jiangnian, at the young man in front of him who was dressed in white and brocade robes and had an outstanding temperament.

His face suddenly changed!

"What? Uncle Chen seems a little surprised to see this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian walked closer slowly and looked at him condescendingly, half-smiling but not smiling: "Uncle Chen is surprised that my son is still alive?"

"Are you disappointed too?"

Chen Hongsheng stared at Lin Jiangnian, watching Lin Jiangnian's joking expression and relaxed tone. His expression changed suddenly from the beginning, then gradually softened, and finally calmed down.

"Surprising indeed!"

Chen Hongsheng's tone was low, as if he was unwilling to do so: "You are still alive!"

"So, those assassins were prepared by Uncle Chen for this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him quietly, smiled softly and spoke.

Chen Hongsheng did not deny it: "They are all dead?"

"Of course he's dead!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Uncle Chen, does he look down on my son a little too much?"

"Just because of those assassins, do you want to assassinate my prince?"

Chen Hongsheng said nothing, staring at Lin Jiangnian's face, his expression gradually becoming serious: "He didn't do anything?"

"who?"

Lin Jiangnian was keenly aware of the change in Chen Hongsheng's expression.

'he'?

What do you mean?

Could it be that Chen Hongsheng has a back-up plan? !

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the seven assassins are all dead, it is not easy to investigate their origins. But Prince Lin's Mansion still found some clues. Those seven people are considered a well-known assassin gang in the world. They are desperadoes who take people's money and solve disasters for them.

Following these clues, Prince Lin's Mansion dug out the cocoons and finally identified several suspects!

The Chen family is one of them!

Lin Jiangnian came to the cell today just to test it out. I didn't expect Chen Hongsheng to be so straightforward and admit it directly without hiding anything!

But then, things get a little strange!

Since they were the killers hired by Chen Hongsheng, why did they dare to take action in Linjiang City?

What's more important is that Lin Jiangnian is surrounded by masters. Although those assassins are indeed very powerful in their assassination methods, their martial arts are not very high!

How could they kill Lin Jiangnian with certainty?

Even if Lin Jiangnian didn't know any martial arts, it would not be easy for the seven people to kill Lin Jiangnian!

But at this moment, Lin Jiangnian's doubts were suddenly solved when he suddenly heard the word "him" from Chen Hongsheng's mouth.

In this way, Chen Hongsheng not only hired those seven killers, but I am afraid there are also more powerful masters behind him!

But for some unknown reason, the more powerful master did not assassinate Lin Jiangnian?

Or should I say...

At this moment, something suddenly flashed through Lin Jiangnian's mind, and his eyes became sharp: "The Celestial Sect?"

Lin Jiangnian instantly thought of the black-robed figure An Ning met...could the master invited by Chen Hongsheng be the leader of the Celestial Sect? !

That black-robed leader was invited by Chen Hongsheng to assassinate him?

Is the Chen family really involved with the Tianshen Sect? !

Facing Lin Jiangnian's sudden question, Chen Hongsheng's eyes were deep and he did not answer Lin Jiangnian's question.

To him, nothing matters anymore.

After a while, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It seems that time is also fate!"

"Your Highness is lucky, I lost!"

Chen Hongsheng's tone was low and a little lonely.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes were uncertain and he stared at Chen Hongsheng for a moment.

"Uncle Chen, are you really admitting defeat?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly sneered: "Uncle Chen said he was admitting defeat, but he was still using all his tricks in private. He didn't look like he was admitting defeat at all!"

"Uncle Chen, I'm afraid you have a backup plan, right?"

Chen Hongsheng looked at him calmly: "Your Highness, what backup plan do you think I have?"

"I don't know, but I think Uncle Chen will definitely not give up so easily, right?"

Lin Jiangnian said.

Chen Hongsheng was silent for a moment, then looked up at Lin Jiangnian: "You have already won, but you still want to kill my Chen family?"

"This prince has never thought of killing us, but Uncle Chen is too ruthless!"

At this point, Lin Jiangnian's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was a little sarcastic: "Since Uncle Chen is my elder, I have given Uncle Chen enough face..."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian suddenly moved closer and stared into Chen Hongsheng's eyes: "Uncle Chen, do you really think that this prince doesn't know about what happened between you and the Xu family?"

This was like thunder, and it exploded in Chen Hongsheng's ears in an instant.

Chen Hongsheng's originally calm eyes suddenly became terrified and unbelievable at this moment.

He stared at Lin Jiangnian, his face suddenly changed: "You, you..."

"Uncle Chen is curious, how did this prince know?"

Chen Hongsheng's face was ashen, and his eyes when he looked at Lin Jiangnian finally changed. The last breath of energy seemed to be lost in an instant.

"The Lin Palace has known about this for a long time?!"

Chen Hongsheng stared at Lin Jiangnian, his voice trembling slightly.

"What can be hidden from the Lin Palace in Linzhou?" Lin Jiangnian said lightly.

"Sure enough... so..."

Chen Hongsheng muttered to himself, his expression a little dull.

"Uncle Chen should be able to believe that this prince has been very lenient, right?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Hongsheng, who looked lonely. He did not let Chen Xu expose this in public in the government office before, which gave him and the Chen family the last dignity.

"I lost!"

At this moment, Chen Hongsheng's tone was extremely low and lonely.

This time he really realized that he had lost completely!

There is no chance of a comeback!

It is nothing but a dream for a mere family to fight against the Lin Palace!

"Uncle Chen, take care of yourself!"

Lin Jiangnian stood up and waved his sleeves: "This prince still left a little hope for your Chen family, and did not completely kill them all..."

"But if Uncle Chen is still stubborn, don't blame this prince for being unkind!"

"One more Chen family member in Linjiang City is not too many, and one less is not too few!"

After saying that, Lin Jiangnian did not stay and turned to leave.

The remaining Chen Hongsheng in the cell fell to the ground and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

He was hunched over and looked more and more old!

...

This day was the day when Chen Junru was executed in public.

The inside and outside of Linjiang City were still lively, even more lively and exciting than the last execution! Even Chen Junru, who was in the cell, heard the warm cheers outside.

When the jailer escorted Chen Junru, whose legs had already weakened, out of the cell, Chen Junru could not open his eyes under the dazzling sunlight.

He looked terrified and tried to struggle.

"You, let me go... Let me go quickly..."

"I, I am the young master of the Chen family, you dare to catch me... Let me go quickly..."

Chen Junru was timid, his voice was low and trembling, and he tried desperately to struggle.

But he almost collapsed and was unable to stand steadily, and the emotion of fear enveloped him!

Until, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Cousin!"

Chen Junru trembled, and after adapting to the dazzling sunlight, he looked up and opened his eyes, and saw a familiar figure in front of him, standing there quietly, looking at him with a smile.

But Chen Junru's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and there was a bit of deep fear in the fierceness.

"Yes, it's you?!"

"You, what are you doing here?!"

The sun was shining, and Chen Xu looked at Chen Junru, who was in a mess like a dead dog waiting to die, with a calm expression, and a bright smile.

"Of course I am here to see you off, cousin!"
