Your Majesty, please stop messing around.
Chapter 548: Deception
"Your Highness, I have asked the woman in detail and recorded all the details of the process."
Outside the front yard, Lin Qingqing was reporting Xu Xianglian's situation to Lin Jiangnian.
After taking Xu Xianglian back to the palace last night, she was properly settled and a doctor was invited to check her body. After Xu Xianglian's mood stabilized, Lin Qingqing began to ask about the situation.
Xu Xianglian was the victim of this case and the only insider and witness at present.
Her confession is very important.
Lin Qingqing was very concerned about this. After Xu Xianglian's condition stabilized, he couldn't wait to ask for the truth and testimony. In order to avenge her husband and seek justice for herself, Xu Xianglian also told the whole story one by one.
The process of the incident was almost the same as the old woman's complaint and Lin Jiangnian's investigation and speculation.
Xu Xianglian and her husband Sun Yuan were originally a loving couple. They were an ordinary family in Linjiang City. The family was not rich, but they were not so poor that they could not afford to eat.
Her husband Sun Yuan was a down-to-earth and hardworking man. The couple had been married for several years and lived a peaceful and happy life. The only regret was that her husband often gambled in his spare time.
However, Sun Yuan was sensible and would not lose his mind when gambling. On weekdays, he would only do some small fights.
... At least, that was the case so far.
The incident happened almost two months ago.
That evening, Sun Yuan stayed in the casino in the city for a long time, and Xu Xianglian went to find him at the behest of her mother-in-law. It happened that day that Chen Junru came to the casino for nothing.
It was also on that day that Chen Junru took a fancy to the handsome Xu Xianglian at first sight.
The situation afterwards was similar to what Lin Jiangnian had guessed.
Chen Junru sent someone to trick Xu Xianglian into his house, and then took the opportunity to force her... A child of a big family, if he wanted to get an ordinary woman, he didn't even need to use any brains.
With the power of the Chen family, it was enough to settle any trouble.
How could Xu Xianglian, a weak woman, resist?
Originally, after playing with her, Chen Junru planned to give her some money and send her away.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xianglian had a strong temper. Her husband Sun Yuan ran to the Chen family to make trouble after learning that his wife was abducted. As a result, he was beaten out by Chen Junru's lackeys before he even entered the Chen family's door.
Sun Yuan then went to the government to report to the authorities, but when the officials heard that it was related to the Chen family, they immediately sent him away without saying a word, saying that the situation had not been clarified yet and your wife was just invited to play for two days!
Sun Yuan, who realized that the government was colluding with the Chen family, was furious and cursed the government for being dark. He was angry and prepared to go to the Linwang Mansion to complain.
This news soon reached Chen Junru's ears.
At that time, Prince Lin was attacked, the atmosphere in the palace was tense, and the whole Linjiang City was in a state of panic.
Chen Junru was worried that if Sun Yuan really went to the palace, he would make a big fuss and get angry. He immediately sent people to stop Sun Yuan and beat him severely until he could not go to the palace to complain.
I don’t know whether Chen Junru had instructed in advance or his men were too heavy-handed, but those people beat Sun Yuan so badly that he died two days after being carried back.
After Sun Yuan’s death, the government quickly intervened, but within two days, the government hastily closed the case on the grounds that Sun Yuan had a dispute with someone in the casino and was manslaughter.
Xu Xianglian couldn’t bear this blow and wanted to seek justice for her husband. But before she could react, a group of people rushed into her house at night, knocked her unconscious and abducted her.
When Xu Xianglian woke up again, she appeared in the small mountain village outside the city and was guarded for twelve hours.
At the same time, not long after Sun Yuan's death, an IOU about Sun Yuan mortgaging his wife to the casino for gambling debts also appeared in the hands of the government...
...
"What a trick to cover up the truth."
After listening to Xu Xianglian's testimony, Lin Jiangnian sneered.
How can an ordinary family fight against a wealthy family like the Chen family?
If he hadn't intervened, if Chen Junru hadn't been mentally ill and had kept Xu Xianglian as a witness, this case would have been really difficult to handle.
"How is Xu Xianglian now?" Lin Jiangnian asked.
Lin Qingqing replied: "Everything is normal at the moment. Apart from being a little weak, there is nothing serious. I have ordered someone to take care of her."
"Well, she is the most important witness at the moment, and nothing can go wrong."
Lin Jiangnian nodded, and thought of something else: "Where is Chen Junru?"
"He was locked up in the dungeon. I ordered the doctor to see him last night."
Speaking of this, Lin Qingqing paused, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes: "He is still alive, but..."
"Disabled?"
Lin Qingqing nodded: "Yes."
Chen Junru, who had harmed the woman, was disabled by her, and Lin Qingqing felt so happy.
However, Lin Qingqing was still a little worried afterwards: "He is not in good health. He had a high fever last night, and it just subsided this morning..."
"I am afraid he can't hold on for long!"
Lin Jiangnian knew that Chen Junru was disabled last night. As the most important thing for a man, it is already very good to be alive.
If it weren't for the pills to forcibly prolong his life, he might not have held on until today.
"Go back to Ruyi Tower to get some elixirs to keep him alive."
Lin Jiangnian ordered: "He can't die either."
"Yes."
Ruyi Tower collects the most precious elixirs from all over the world. Although it's not as exaggerated as bringing back the dead, it's not difficult to keep Chen Junru alive.
But...
This all comes at a price!
"I'm not letting him take this medicine for nothing."
Lin Jiangnian sneered.
...
Dungeon.
Dark and dark.
In the dim environment, it was dark, damp, and filled with a foul smell of blood.
In the cell, Chen Junru lay on a bed made of rotten quilts, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes.
His eyes were empty, without any brilliance.
His face was embarrassed, pale, and withered, as if he was dying... It was horrible to see.
He was dirty all over, his clothes were messy, and under him... he was being bandaged with something, and there were bloodstains.
Chen Junru lay there for a long, long time!
He had a high fever with a confused consciousness. After the fever subsided, except for his eyeballs, he had no strength in his body.
It was like being paralyzed.
The invisible sense of fear and oppression enveloped him bit by bit.
At this moment, Chen Junru's consciousness almost collapsed.
Even when he was tortured here for so many days last time, he had never been so desperate...
He couldn't move his whole body, as if he was paralyzed.
Especially... the pain that could still be felt faintly under his body.
From time to time, a piercing pain reminded him... something happened below!
Something serious happened!
Thinking of the situation last night and Lin Jiangnian's words, the fear, panic and despair surged in his heart.
I... couldn't I really be useless?
No way...
Chen Junru's pupils gradually widened in fear, and he struggled to get up and check, but he didn't have a trace of strength.
With such a panic and uneasy emotion, he just lay here in despair, and was wrapped up by the fear and worry bit by bit.
Until, footsteps came to his ears.
Then, the surroundings gradually lit up.
The lights flickered, Chen Junru turned his head with difficulty, and a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
A trace of fear appeared on Chen Junru's face.
He saw the person he least wanted to see...the devil who made him look like this now.
Lin Jiangnian!
Regret, resentment, malice, fear, terror... Countless emotions emerged from Chen Junru's eyes.
"Master Chen, are you okay?"
Lin Jiangnian's voice sounded.
He appeared in the cell, looking down at Chen Junru, who was in a terrible state at the moment.
Chen Junru stared at him, his eyes horrified and angry.
Extremely complicated.
"You, what do you want to do..."
Chen Junru's voice was hoarse, without a trace of strength.
"Master Chen is so smart, how could he not know what this prince wants to do?"
Lin Jiangnian laughed.
In the past, Chen Junru might have thought that this was really a compliment to himself.
But now he knew that Lin Jiangnian was mocking him.
Smart?
If he was smart, he would not have been fooled last night... From beginning to end, this was a layout!
He was carefully calculated!
This dog prince... is so despicable!
Seeing that Chen Junru didn't say anything, Lin Jiangnian looked down again, smiling: "Master Chen, are you feeling okay?"
"You, what did you do to me?"
Chen Junru became a little excited, his face slightly ferocious: "I, what happened to me?!"
"Don't worry, Master Chen, you won't die."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and smiled: "With this prince here, I will never let you die now."
Will not die?
This news made Chen Junru slightly relieved.
But soon, he suddenly realized something, his eyes looked down, and his voice became a little trembling: "Then I, then I..."
"Waste."
Lin Jiangnian said calmly.
But Chen Junru still didn't come back to his senses for a while: "Useless, what useless?"
"What do you think is useless, Young Master Chen?"
Lin Jiangnian said in a relaxed tone: "If Young Master Chen wants to enter the palace as a eunuch now, I'm afraid he can save one more procedure to enter the palace..."
As soon as these words came out, they sounded like a roar in Chen Junru's ears, and his already pale face became even more bloodless.
Enter the palace?
Become a eunuch?
Save one procedure?
What procedure can be saved?
Thinking of the changes in his body, Chen Junru's pupils widened in vain, and the world spun in an instant.
"No, it's impossible..."
Chen Junru's face was distorted, and he shook his head in horror: "No, it won't... I, I won't..."
He couldn't accept this fact!
But the feeling of his body and the pain under his body seemed to remind him all the time...Is he really useless? !
In an instant, Chen Junru became extremely excited, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Lin Jiangnian: "You, you?!"
"Lin Jiangnian, you, you dare to let my Chen family be cut off?!"
"I, my Chen family will fight you to the death..."
"You, you..."
He cursed angrily, as if he wanted to vent all his anger. That kind of panic and despair made him completely crazy!
Becoming a eunuch is a fact that no man can accept, let alone Chen Junru, who is already a playboy?
Lin Jiangnian didn't rush to speak, but just looked at Chen Junru who was excited and cursing with interest. When he finished cursing, Lin Jiangnian's smile became even more: "Do you still want to recover, Mr. Chen?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Junru, who was originally excited and excited, seemed to be suddenly strangled by someone, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He suddenly turned his head and stared at Lin Jiangnian, with a sharp light in his eyes: "Recover, recover?!"
"I, can I still recover?!"
"If Young Master Chen wants, he can do it." Lin Jiangnian said calmly.
Just like a dying man who suddenly found a glimmer of hope for survival, Chen Junru's eyes lit up and his voice was hoarse and excited: "Really?!"
"Is there anything in this world that Ruyi Tower can't do?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at him and chuckled.
When Chen Junru heard this, his breathing became extremely rapid...Yes!
Is there anything in the world that Ruyi Tower can't do?
There are so many treasures, rare herbs, and rare elixirs in Ruyi Tower. It is said that there are even magical treasures that can bring back the dead...
It seems that it is not impossible to make him recover? !
"Lin... No, Your Highness..."
Chen Junru, who was originally full of resentment and cursing, changed his face instantly when he heard that he still had hope of recovery.
He didn't care about anything else at all, and his tone became extremely gentle, even a little flattering.
"Your Highness, save, save me..."
"Quick, save me..."
"I, I don't want to be a eunuch..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Junru, whose expression changed so quickly, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have found the wrong direction before...
He underestimated the importance of Chen Junru's persistence in being a man... If he had known this earlier, he might as well have abolished him earlier?
Wouldn't it be easier?
"It's not impossible to save you, but..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at him quietly: "But, this all comes at a price."
"What, what price?"
"You have to answer a few questions for me first."
Lin Jiangnian looked at him: "If you answer honestly, this prince will help you restore your manhood, how about it?"
Hearing this, Chen Junru hesitated, he was a little uneasy, knowing that Lin Jiangnian's question must not be a good question, but he still hesitated and tried to speak: "What question..."
"How did you bully Xu Xianglian, and when did you instruct others to kill Sun Yuan? In the end, how did you destroy the body and destroy the evidence?"
Chen Junru's face changed. This, is he asking him to confess his crime?
No, no...
If I confess, how can I live? !
Lin Jiangnian saw Chen Junru's hesitation and narrowed his eyes: "You have to think about it...Xu Xianglian is in my hands now. Your crimes will be exposed sooner or later. If you take the initiative to confess now, it will be considered as surrendering, and the government will give you a lighter sentence..."
"In addition, your Chen family and my Lin family have a good relationship. No matter what, you can at least save your life..."
"But if you don't want to confess, you will be ruined..."
"You can't escape. Even if you survive by chance, you are ruined... What's the point of living?"
"Isn't it more painful than death to not be a man?"
"Are you right?"
Chen Junru's face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were terrified.
This, is he asking him to choose?
Choice? !
Is it better to die than surrender, and survive by chance in the end, but can't be a man, or... confess everything?
Protect yourself to restore your manhood?
Take a gamble?
At this moment, Chen Junru was experiencing a very complicated struggle in his heart.
At this moment, for the first time in his life, he felt that his fate was in his own hands... Any choice would change his life.
"Young Master Chen, you must make a decision as soon as possible. You must know... One minute later, there will be less hope of recovery..."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Junru trembled suddenly.
The lethality of these words was really too great!
Chen Junru gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Jiangnian: "You, you guarantee that I can live? Can, can I recover?!"
"I guarantee with the reputation of this prince, as long as you tell the truth, this prince guarantees that you will live and become a man again!"
Lin Jiangnian swore to make a promise.
But...
Reputation?
What reputation can he, the prince of Lin, have in Linjiang City?
However, Chen Junru, who was in panic at the moment, was not in the mood to think about these things. His mind was full of the terrifying idea that he had become a eunuch.
After hearing Lin Jiangnian's promise, the last line of defense in his heart finally loosened.
He made up his mind.
"Okay, I'll say..."
