Chapter 146 Why is the crown prince pretending to be kind?
Chapter 146 Why is the prince pretending to be kind?
"Brother Sun Qiang, if someone comes to see you, I will go home first."
The neighbor led the person into the house and left in a hurry without waiting for Sun Qiang to respond, as if he was afraid of something.
On the bed, Sun Qiang was groaning in pain. When he heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately held on to the bedrail with difficulty and asked, "Who is looking for me?"
Seeing the person coming, Sun Qiang's face was full of shock, and the next moment he was trembling with fear: "You, why is it you?! Why are you coming to my house?"
Jun Tingsheng didn't reply, but walked towards him expressionlessly, "I heard you were seriously injured, so I came here to see you."
"hurt?"
Sun Qiang's pale face showed a trace of ridicule, "I am not only injured, but now my legs are broken and I have become a disabled person. How can I pretend to be kind!"
At this time, a woman came in holding a broom. When she saw Jun Tingsheng, she picked up the broom and waved it at him without saying anything: "How dare you come here! As long as I am here, no one can bully my son! I will beat you to death!"
"mother!"
When Sun Qiang saw this, he shouted anxiously and struggled to get out of bed, but he couldn't move at all.
But Jun Tingsheng just kept dodging and did not fight back, "Sun Qiang, I came here today to find out about this matter. If you have anything to hide, you can tell me."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to pretend to be kind. It is a fact that I am disabled. Nothing I can say now will help."
"What about Wen Jing? You said he abused lynching. Is this true?"
"Is the prince saying this to protect him?"
"I just want to know the truth!"
Jun Tingsheng stretched out his hand to block the woman's attack, clutched the broom tightly, and stared at Sun Qiang intently: "I believe you know the truth."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Did the Crown Prince come here to intimidate him?"
Leng Yuangui appeared in the sight of several people, and they saw him curling his lower lip, and then walked to Jun Tingsheng: "I thought I came early enough, but I never thought that the prince would be so impatient and come earlier than me."
As he said that, he turned and glanced at Sun Qiang, "Is the Crown Prince threatening him just now?"
Jun Tingsheng silently let go of his hand and denied in a cold voice: "No, I just came here to ask what happened."
Leng Yuanqi looked at him and chuckled, then turned to ask Sun Qiang, "The Lord ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly. Since the prince is here, then you can tell me how you became like this."
Sun Qiang looked at him for a moment and said slowly: "My subordinate was originally a soldier in the army. Just because he did not complete the training as required, he was lynched and severely injured by the deputy general Wen Jing of the army."
"Also, there were several soldiers like me before, but they disappeared later. I think... I'm afraid they were all killed by Wen Jing."
Jun Tingsheng heard something was wrong and immediately asked: "If something like this happened in the army, why didn't you report it to the superiors?"
"You have a share too!"
Sun Qiang suddenly shouted excitedly, staring at Jun Tingsheng: "Wen Jing is your subordinate. He can be so rampant in the army because of your instructions!"
Jun Tingsheng frowned and looked at him. After a moment, he said bluntly: "I don't know anything about this."
However, no one believed his words. Thinking about it, Wen Jing was his subordinate. How could a deputy general dare to do such a thing without his permission.
However, Jun Tingsheng believed that there must be something inside of Wen Jing's character.
"Since the Crown Prince denies everything, I have no choice but to continue the investigation. By the way, I am preparing to interrogate Wen Jing, so why don't the Crown Prince confront him face to face."
Leng Yuanqi had a half-smiling expression on his face. Jun Tingsheng looked at him without replying. He knew that this was a trap, but he had no room to retreat.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The two of them came to the prison together. Jun Tingsheng saw the scarred Wen Jing, and as soon as the other party saw him, he suddenly said: "My subordinate failed the prince's trust and failed to manage the soldiers under him, which disappointed the prince."
"What did you say?"
"My subordinates did not do things cleanly, so they found the opportunity to impeach the crown prince. I know my mistake."
As soon as these words came out, the situation changed instantly. Leng Yuanqi directly ordered: "Come here and capture Jun Tingsheng!"
Several guards came forward and surrounded Jun Tingsheng. Leng Yuangui stood with his hands behind his back and looked at him and said: "I was ordered to investigate this matter. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I can only act impartially."
"If the prince still wants to defend himself, then follow me into the palace to meet the Holy One. When you are in front of the Holy One, you can explain to the Holy One yourself."
Jun Tingsheng has seen through everything, and Wen Jing is only acting this way because he is threatened by them. In this case, no matter what he says, it will be useless.
"My prince has a token personally given by the Holy Master. Who among you dares to touch me?"
Seeing the token in Jun Tingsheng's hand, the guards did not dare to move forward. Leng Yuangui's expression suddenly changed when he saw this.
"Jun Tingsheng, so what if you have the token? Now that it has been confirmed that Wen Jing was ordered to abuse lynching by you, what else can you say?"
"There are still problems with this matter. I will investigate it personally and I will report it to the Holy One."
After saying that, Jun Tingsheng put away the token, turned around and left the prison.
Leng Yuanqi clenched his fists unwillingly. He would not miss such a rare opportunity easily.
Imperial Study Room——
Jun Yelan was reviewing the memorial when a guard suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, Yu Shi Leng is outside asking for an audience."
"Xuan."
After Leng Yuanqi saw Jun Yelan, he immediately recounted what had just happened and said, "Sun Qiang has already accused Wen Jing of lynching many people, and Wen Jing also stated that he was ordered by Jun Tingsheng, but..."
"Jun Tingsheng has a token given by the Holy One in his hand. He said he would investigate the matter personally and would explain to the Holy One afterwards before leaving."
When Jun Yelan heard this, he was instantly furious. He slapped the table and stood up: "I gave him the token to help him investigate the case. Does he think that with the token, he can cover the sky with one hand?"
"If you don't take me seriously, I think he is getting more and more arrogant. If someone comes, please bring him back to me immediately!"
Seeing this, Jun Tianlin immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think this matter still needs to be discussed."
"Uncle Huang means..."
"Since he wants to investigate, let him do it. Besides, this matter concerns more than just him."
Jun Tianlin smiled mysteriously, looked at Jun Yelan and said meaningfully: "King Chengyang seems to be having a headache about this matter too. After all, he is his only son. I think he will do his best to protect him."
After listening to his words, Jun Yelan seemed to react. After thinking for a moment, he ordered Leng Yuangui: "In three days, if he can't produce evidence to prove his innocence, bring him back to me."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Leng Yuanqi left the Imperial Study Room unwillingly. He couldn't figure out why Jun Tianlin wanted to help Jun Tingsheng, but it was not that easy for Jun Tingsheng to prove that he was innocent.
