Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

He had read the information sent by the censor about this matter, and the situation was very serious. Such a big case was not only about officials from Jiangnan, but also about the Jiangnan garrison and the aristocratic families from Jiangnan. They would definitely investigate the case when they went there this time. However, it might affect a large number of people, and they might also be in danger.

"I've met the prince."

"Master Gu, please get up."

Looking at Minister Gu, Qin Chen spoke.

"Master Gu, what do you want?"

"This subordinate has read the information in the past few days. This incident may be a major case. Those key figures may be silenced..."

Qin Chen listened to Minister Gu's words, and his opinion of him improved a little. Although Minister Gu was a scumbag, he was still quite capable as an official, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Prince Chen has already made arrangements for this matter. There are several key witnesses, and people have been sent to protect them..."

Minister Gu talked with Qin Chen for half an hour, and after Minister Gu left, he returned to the gate of the courtyard where he lived. An official came forward and praised him with a smile.

"Master Gu, I heard that you went to see the son of Qin Hou, your adopted son-in-law. What did you talk about?"

After hearing what the adult said, Minister Gu spoke.

"Nothing said."

Minister Gu was not stupid. He had average relationships with many of the people he went with. If he told others what he had said to the prince of Qin, it would not take long for others to know about it. Who knew if these people would tip off those people?

Watching Minister Gu walk away, someone said unhappily.

"Minister Gu's adopted daughter is now a princess of the royal family. How can he see people like us?"

"I heard that Minister Gu and his adopted daughter have a bad relationship."

"This case is a big one. If we handle it well, we might get promoted..."

Prince Chen sat in the room, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Your Majesty, we just caught someone who poisoned the well..."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Prince Chen said with narrowed eyes.

"Hand him over to the prince of Qin for interrogation..."

This man would commit suicide before he even falls into the hands of the Prince of Qin.

After all, this routine has been used many times in the capital. Now is it the emperor who wants to kill him, or is it someone else who wants to kill him and put the blame on the emperor...

Qin Chen actually knew the news a long time ago, but he did not take any action. Instead, he waited for Prince Chen's people to notify him before Qin Chen asked Qin Yi to take people to bring back the person who poisoned the food.

"Master, our people just brought the person here, and he died of the poison..."

Qin Chen said after hearing this.

"Investigate everyone who had contact with him, and arrest all other suspicious people."

"Yes."

Qin Chen sent people to make a lot of noise.

Xiao Jingchen sent people to Qin Chen. In front of many ministers, Prince Chen's men were very disrespectful to Qin Chen.

"Our prince trusted you, the prince of Qin, and that's why he asked you to interrogate this man. But your people died of poison the moment they were handed over to you. I'm afraid they are in cahoots with the people who wanted to kill the prince..."

"If this matter cannot be investigated, you, the prince of Qin, will be the most suspicious..."

When Qin Chen's men heard this, they started quarreling with Prince Chen's men.

A number of officials not far away heard the noise and started talking about it.
