After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 73 Taking advantage of the situation
Young Master Jiang pointed a finger at Lin Luoling and Chen Yin, urging them to keep quiet.
He waved at them again, indicating that they should sit closer.
Lin Luoling and Chen Yin both had a lot of questions in their minds, so they sat around the round table with Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi then lowered his voice and said, "I was the one who set the fires in the Jade Pavilion and the Heavenly Fragrance Tower."
As he spoke, he smacked his lips and said, "It's a pity that we failed to burn You Mingtang to death and let him escape. It was also a coincidence that Fengying from Tianxiang Tower went to Jingfu Temple to pray for blessings and never came back, so she set two fires in vain."
Lin Luoling and Chen Yin were speechless. Why did these words sound so much like a naughty prank?
Lin Luoling sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Is You Mingtang the illegitimate son of You Taichang?"
"Yes!" Jiang Chi nodded and said, "Is You Mingtang the fourth or fifth bastard? I don't remember. You Mingtang is the dog kept by the eldest prince, Prince Jin. Prince Jin always lets You Mingtang do the errands.
However, I am not familiar with him, and I did not expect that he would know martial arts. I was really careless!"
Lin Luoling asked again: "Qionglouyuge is a restaurant secretly set up by the eldest prince, right? Then you also know that Tianxianglou is a brothel secretly set up by the second prince, Prince Rui. Fengying is a man, did you know that?"
Jiang Chi was amused. "Sister Ling'er, if I didn't know this, why would I start a fire for no reason?"
Chen Yin held his forehead and said, "Young Master Jiang, you set fire to the restaurant and brothel that Prince Jin and Prince Rui secretly bought in Xuzhou, Beijing, and burned all their people to death. What were you thinking? If Prince Jin and Prince Rui knew about this, have you thought about the consequences?"
Shen Yin paused, frowned and asked in confusion: "Do you have a grudge against King Jin and King Rui?"
Jiang Chi waved his fan and said, "Sister Chen Yin underestimated me too much. I am a martial arts master. How could they catch me if I just set two fires? No matter how much they suspect, they can't suspect me."
Jiang Chi paused while fanning himself, and said seriously, "There is one thing that I must make clear to Sister Chen Yin. I have no grudges against those two princes."
"Then why did you burn down the restaurants and brothels they owned in Xuzhou, Beijing? And why did you burn their people to death?" Chen Yin blurted out.
Jiang Chi said without thinking, "This prince likes to watch the fun the most. There was a fire in the Jade Pavilion and the Heavenly Fragrance Tower. Sister Chen Yin didn't see it. Many naked men ran out of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower. That scene was so interesting to watch."
Hearing this, Lin Luoling suddenly realized that what Jiang Chi said was half true and half false. The reason why Jiang Chi set fire to Qionglou Yuge and Tianxiang Tower should be instructed by Prince An, but Jiang Chi refused to say what the purpose was.
After that, Jiang Chi closed the fan, stood up, pushed Chen Yin out the door, and said, "It's late. Sister Chen Yin, don't think too much about these things. It has nothing to do with you. Go back and sleep."
"Don't push me, I haven't finished yet..."
Before Chen Yin could finish her words, she was pushed out by Jiang Chi, and the door was closed and bolted.
Chen Yin pushed several times but failed to push it open. She stamped her feet in anger, but couldn't yell at Jiang Chi, so she threatened in a low voice: "Jiang Chi, don't do anything stupid. You are alone in a room with Sister Ling'er in the middle of the night. If the wife of Ningyuan Hou knows about it, she will break your legs."
Jiang Chi leaned against the door and said with a smile: "Sister Chen Yin, go to sleep without worry. This prince is also sleepy and has to go back to the Lin Mansion."
Hearing the footsteps of Shen Yin leaving, Jiang Chi walked back to the round table and sat down again, saying with a smile: "Sister Ling'er, do you have anything you want to ask? I will tell you the truth."
Lin Luoling's eyes darkened and she asked, "Did Prince An ask you to burn down the Qionglou Yuge and Tianxianglou?"
Jiang Chi put the fan on the table and said without hesitation, "Sister Ling'er is a smart person. The Jade Tower and the Heavenly Fragrance Tower were both on fire. If the Prince An's Mansion had not caught fire, the Prince Jin and the Prince Rui would have suspected that it was the Prince An's doing without hesitation.
However, as luck would have it, the An Wang Mansion also had a fire, and His Royal Highness An inhaled cigarette smoke, which caused his cough to worsen and his life to be in danger. What would Your Majesty think when he knew about this?"
Lin Luoling thought for a moment and replied, “It’s natural to suspect that it was Prince Jin or Prince Rui who wanted to burn Prince An to death.
However, the arsonist has not been caught, and although there is suspicion, it is impossible to determine whether it was done by the King of Jin or the King of Rui."
Without pausing, Lin Luoling asked, "Your Highness Prince An wants His Majesty to feel resentful towards Prince Jin and Prince Rui?"
Jiang Chi stretched out a finger and shook it, saying: "Sister Ling'er, think about it, Prince Jin and Prince Rui are short of money, whether it is the Jade Tower or the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, they are one of the money bags that they make money from.
Originally, this was not their doing, and something happened in Prince An's Mansion. His Majesty will definitely suspect the two of them.
The King of Jin and the King of Rui had made friends with many officials in the court, so how could they swallow this injustice? They must have suspected that the other party was responsible.
We can't point the finger at the other party directly, wouldn't that make His Majesty more suspicious? Then, we can only take Cao Peng, the governor of Xuzhou, as the first target, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Luoling suddenly understood.
She said: "His Royal Highness Prince An deliberately asked you to set the fire so that Prince Jin and Prince Rui would target Governor Cao.
Your Majesty will be furious when he learns that His Royal Highness Prince An's cough has worsened. Prince Jin and Prince Rui are far away in the capital. If Governor Cao wants to survive, he can only seek refuge with His Royal Highness Prince An.
In this way, the 8,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Governor Cao can be placed under the command of Prince An. "
Jiang Chi nodded repeatedly and said, "That's it!"
After saying that, Jiang Chi picked up the Feng Shui fan, opened it and waved it gently.
Lin Luoling couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness Prince An's move of taking advantage of the situation is really clever."
Lin Luoling smiled and said, "So, the claim that His Royal Highness Prince An inhaled smoke and his cough got worse is also false?"
Jiang Chi folded his fan and said, "Of course it's fake. It's good enough for Sister Ling'er to be the only one who knows about this."
Lin Luoling frowned again and said, "Then why did you burn down the study of Yongning Marquis? Was it really just to steal evidence that Yongning Marquis and the second prince, Prince Rui, were secretly transporting military rations?"
"Hey!" Jiang Chi stood up and said, "Didn't you ask your mother to sell grain to Zhu Xianzhi in two shops? I roughly guessed what you were planning, so I helped you destroy the evidence."
"I see!" Lin Luoling stood up, bowed to Jiang Chi, and thanked him sincerely.
Jiang Chi waved his hand and said, "Since you call me brother, I will naturally protect you. Why bother thanking you?
Oh, by the way, please send a message to your mother and ask her to let Zhu Xianzhi use the two shops vacated by Prince An to sell grain as soon as possible. I guess you have already thought about how to do it, so I won’t waste my words.
It's getting late, I should go back to sleep!"
After saying that, Jiang Chi opened the rear window, jumped out, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Luoling had just closed the back window when she heard Biyou whispering outside the door: "Miss, did you sleep well?"
