Chapter 22: Unreliable Bodyguards
Xinye County, outside the east gate of Shen Mansion.
Huo Anu, who was tall and angry, was glaring at Xu Zun with disgust, and he didn't want to take a single step.
"Xu Paralyzed, don't think that with Master Shen's support, I have to listen to you!" She clenched her fists loudly and threatened, "In the silk village, you dare to speak disrespectfully to me, I haven't settled this account with you yet!" ”
Huo Anu has a special identity, although he often accompanies Miss Shen, he is not a subordinate in the real sense.
Coupled with her strong martial arts, almost no one in the Shen Mansion dared to provoke her, including Xu Zun.
Last time in the silk village, Xu Zun was mad purely because she misunderstood her identity, and if it were changed to now, it might be a little more restrained.
However, at this moment, in the face of Huo Anu's questioning, Xu Zun still did not hesitate to go back:
"Count you big-headed ghost! Please, can you use your brain, if it weren't for the emergency, my father-in-law could send you to protect me? ”
"Hmph, don't think I'm so foolish!" Huo Anu suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Zun's shoulder, and said angrily, "I think it's you who are playing tricks, and you may have some bad thoughts in your heart!" ”
Suddenly, Xu Zun felt a heat on his shoulders.
This woman is indeed strong in hand, and this skill seems to be able to pinch and deform her shoulder blades with one hand!
In her previous life, Xu Zun really wanted to give her an over-the-shoulder wrestling to see how many rounds she could take with this martial arts master in her free fight?
However, now is obviously not the time, and he can't easily show his skills.
So, Xu Zun endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and said quietly:
"What do you think...... Is this what I do? Do you think I'm begging for your protection? These are all arranged by my father-in-law, if you are not happy, then get out! ”
"You?" Huo Anu was so angry that his hands tightened a little, "Clean your mouth for me!" ”
"Okay, you don't want to pull it down!" Xu Zun gritted his teeth and said, "Then go back by yourself, the official doesn't need your protection!" Hum! ”
Xu Zun snorted contemptuously and turned around to leave, but he couldn't, and his shoulders were still grabbed.
"You?" Huo Anu seemed to have realized something, so he let go of his hand and smiled coldly, "Xu Paralyzed, what about the radical method!" Do you think I really dare not go? ”
"Okay, let's go, you? I wish I could do it! ”
After speaking, Xu Zun turned his head and left.
As soon as he turned his head, his face was extremely distorted and his teeth were grinning, and the bones in his shoulders felt as if they were shattered.
"You ......"
Seeing Xu Zun leave without hesitation, Huo Anu was a little dazed, and felt that he couldn't see through this former Xu Xiaoparalysis more and more.
Originally, she had the heart to go up and theorize a few more words, but she saw that Xu Zun had no intention of stopping at all, and if she caught up, it would be boring to be self-deprecating.
"Okay! Your! She put the iron umbrella on her shoulder, and said coldly, "This girl is not uncommon to serve you, go to you!" ”
After speaking, she also turned her head and left, returning to the direction of Shen Mansion......
……
Oops, I'll go!
As soon as Xu Zun turned into the alley, he immediately kneaded his shoulders, his expression was very painful.
It's worthy of playing with an iron umbrella, and it's really hard to have at hand, if you pinch it for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to lift your arm.
It seems that her free fighting has no chance of winning against her, but fortunately she didn't do it just now.
All right!
Xu Zun gritted his teeth, such a female bodyguard, don't do it, even if she is not killed by the enemy, she will have to be played half to death by her.
Although, this fire Anu was born full of Peugeot, but it doesn't seem to be on the same frequency as himself, so don't have the illusion that you can get in love after getting along for a long time.
Alas......
Xu Zun readjusted his thinking and began to make a new plan.
If Huo Anu can't be his bodyguard, then it seems that he can only find a few catchers to catch him.
Although he can't believe in these catches, he will always be more down-to-earth with a few people around him.
Next, he walked towards Yizhuang, intending to go there first to see the corpse.
On the way, his mind was racing, and he was still thinking about these two cases.
In the Shen Mansion just now, Shen Tiande had already told Xu Zun everything he knew about the Iron Coffin Case.
Although Shen Tiande didn't know much, Xu Zun also gained something.
Shen Tiande is a big official in the officialdom, and through this matter, he also faintly smelled an unusual smell.
Because, ordinary people will never be able to make such a huge iron coffin, since the iron coffin appeared in Xinye County twice, it means that this case must be related to Xinye County!
Moreover, there may be some huge conspiracy behind the iron coffin, which is by no means as simple as an ordinary murder case.
Therefore, Shen Tiande decided to send someone to inquire with the above to see if there had been any similar incidents in other states and counties?
As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree, and with the participation of his father-in-law, Xu Zun feels much more at ease.
Next, he can go all out to investigate the You Dalang incident and see who the person who is watching him behind his back is?
Yizhuang is a special place to park the dead, in addition to the bodies of You Dalang and his wife, the mysterious Taoist priest in the iron coffin and the chief bookkeeper Liu Zhang have also been transferred here.
This is a heavy place for corpses, and there was no one to guard it, but now that there is such an important case, Qiu County Commander still sent a government official to be on duty here.
When Xu Zun arrived at Yizhuang, it was already getting late.
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he entered, he saw a large number of people surrounding the Yizhuang compound, including catchers, government officials, and some migrant workers.
No way?
Xu Zun soon saw that everyone was surrounding a carriage, and it was the mysterious iron coffin that was carried on the carriage!!
"This ......," Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "How did you get this thing here?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he already knew the answer, where else could such a huge coffin be put if it was not put in Yizhuang? Who will be happy to let it go?
Sure enough, the answers of the officials were the same.
"Two horses, a dozen people pushing!" One of them quickly introduced to Xu Zun, "It took two hours to get here!" ”
While speaking, everyone had already set up scaffolding and were preparing crowbars, ropes and other objects to unload the iron coffin from the car.
Two horses, a dozen people......
Xu Zun thought about it in his heart, it seemed that this iron coffin was not so heavy that it could not be moved, but it was just a little more laborious than ordinary objects.
So...... Since this thing appeared in Xinye County twice, could it ...... It wasn't shipped from far away?
No, it's made in Xinye County, right?
Also, the iron coffin two years ago has been taken away by the government and its whereabouts are unknown, I don't know, are the two iron coffins the same?
"Huh? Be careful......"
Everyone was working together to control the iron coffin to the ground, but they didn't expect that when the iron coffin was hung in the air, one of the ropes suddenly broke!
The person pulling the rope lock fell down impressively, and the huge iron coffin suddenly tilted down, impartially, and went straight to Xu Zun!
With such a heavy iron coffin, if it hits Xu Zun, he will definitely die or be injured!
Yes!?
Xu Zun was shocked, and instinctively used a group body to roll sideways and roll to the side.
And at the same time as Xu Zun rolled, a tall figure fell from the sky, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, it directly blocked in front of Xu Zun!
Oh......
Everyone thought that this person was going to be hit by the iron coffin, but when they saw this person with one arm, he actually resisted the extremely heavy iron coffin!
Then, an iron umbrella appeared and was propped up under the coffin by this person, causing the iron coffin to fall firmly to the ground......
