"Everyone," Chen Taiji introduced to everyone, "This is Lord Cai Kuncai, the leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion!" ”

In the Great Xuan Dynasty, the internal guard was a very powerful official position, its function was a bit similar to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard, it was a huge and terrifying intelligence agency, so that the officials changed their demeanor, and no one dared to offend.

And the cabinet leader of the inner guard is even more superior, he is a close minister of the queen mother and the emperor, and has won the trust of the royal family.

"I've seen Cai Geling!"

Everyone hurriedly groveled and greeted this Lord Cai.

Cai Kun did not raise his head, but carefully put away Yizhi, and then said expressionlessly:

"Colleagues, the Empress Dowager Yi pointed out in her decree that in case of an emergency, Cai would be asked to deal with the case, I want to ......" He glanced at everyone coldly, "Now this situation should be regarded as an emergency change, right?" ”

"Yes!" How dare the people disagree, and hurriedly agree.

"I already have a basic understanding of the situation of the Iron Coffin case," Cai Kun said, "Regarding the assassin's matter, I will send someone to show the Empress Dowager and find someone to come and identify it!"

"But there's one thing I don't understand!"

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, glanced at everyone, and after seeing that no one answered, he gestured with his hands and said:

"Such a large iron coffin requires at least a huge carriage and a lot of manpower to push it to the top of that stone bridge, right?

"Such an obvious target," Cai Kun said as he stared at Qiu Yongnian and the others, "You really can't find a clue?" Don't...... Did it fall from the sky? ”

"This ......"

Qiu Yongnian and the others looked at each other, trembling slightly, and no one dared to take a stubble.

"Where is the Shangyuan County Guard?" Who knows, in the next second, Cai Kun suddenly shouted such a voice.

"In ...... At! ”

Taemin was startled and hurriedly agreed.

"Shangyuan County Shou, do you have any plans about what I said?" Cai Kun asked.

"This ......" Taemin replied hastily, "I think that the scope of the search should not be limited to Xinye County, but also expanded, eh...... Investigate the surrounding counties, as well as the walking merchants, and see if anyone has seen the iron coffin! ”

"Humph! Hehehe......"

Unexpectedly, Cai Kun suddenly laughed, but the laughter was gloomy, making people shudder to listen to.

"Two years ago, you also searched the surrounding counties and counties, let me ask you, did it work?" Cai Kun raised his eyebrows, and a chilling smile hung on his face.

"It's ......" Taemin swallowed, not knowing how to answer.

"If it were as easy as you say, then the iron coffin case last time should have been solved a long time ago!" Cai Kun glanced at his eyes and said heavily, "It seems that you still don't realize that the problem is actually within Xinye County!?" ”

Yes!!?

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Yongnian hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Na Luo Million was even more frightened, almost lying on the ground.

Well, Xu Zun's official position is the smallest, and he can only follow behind.

"Hmph," Cai Kun snorted coldly, "Such a big coffin, such a big case, your Xinye County Ya can't find any clues, if it's not for someone inside you, what explanation is there?"

"Someone!" He shouted at his subordinates, "Arrest all these people in Xinye County!" Ask them, official! ”

"This?"

Hearing this, Chen Taiji, who had been silent, wanted to dissuade him, but after an ideological struggle, he still chose to remain silent.

"My lord, my lord has wronged!" Qiu Yongnian hurriedly pleaded, "We have done our best in this case, please show mercy to your subordinates!" ”

"......" Luo Million wanted to follow the defense, but he felt that his heart was bored and he couldn't say anything.

In a trance, he seemed to see the exact same scene as the iron coffin case back then, with no distinction at all, just looking for a few scapegoats......

However, this time the situation is even worse, everyone knows that the methods of the internal guards are much more cruel than the criminal department, and if they are arrested and questioned, I am afraid that they will die!

It's hell in an instant, the last moment they were still discussing the case, but now they are all prisoners!

Seeing the internal guards coming towards him, Qiu Yongnian begged again:

"My lord, please give us a little more time, or...... I beg you to tell me about the case," he begged bitterly, "we don't know what happened back then, it's very detrimental to the investigation, and I hope you will give me a chance!" ”

"Huh, back then?" Cai Kun smiled coldly, "Back then? Let me tell you, it is possible that the case was also done by insiders, and it was because we were so soft-hearted that it became a headless unsolved case! ”

"Huh?" Qiu Yongnian hurriedly asked, "My lord, where is the iron coffin back then?" Who were the 37 victims back then? ”

"Hey, you really dare to ask!" Cai Kun smiled, "Don't worry, I'll probably tell you when we chat!" ”

After that, as Cai Kun signaled, the internal guards rushed up and detained Qiu Yongnian, Luo Million and Xu Zun respectively.

"Cai Geling," Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Chen Taiji finally couldn't help but whisper to Cai Kun and reminded, "Qiu County's order is Jinshi Hanlin, and Xu Zun is Shen Shilang's son-in-law, well......"

"Oh?" Cai Kun glanced at Chen Taiji and said with a grim smile, "Lord Chen, is this teaching me to do things?" ”

"Don't dare!" Chen Taiji hurriedly clenched his fists, his face embarrassed.

"Do you know, why did the Queen Mother send me over?" Cai Kun leaned close to Chen Taiji's ear and whispered, "It's because she can't trust you people from the Criminal Department, if you mention Xu Changlan and Shen Tiande again, I can only report truthfully to the top!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Taiji hurriedly took a step back, not daring to say a word more, and the sides of his cheeks were already soaked with cold sweat.

"It's not just these three!" At this time, Cai Kun looked at Qiu Yongnian and the others, and said to the internal guards, "The officials in the county government are arrested quickly, but if anyone has a little power, if no one is left behind, they will be arrested for me!" ”

"My lord, I am wronged! My lord! Qiu Yongnian was so anxious that tears flowed out, "Please forgive us a few days, we will definitely find out the facts of the case......"

Looking at Luo Million again, he had already fallen to the ground, trembling all over......

In the meantime, only Xu Zun was unmoved, still calmly pondering.

In his mind, he was filtering the entire case over and over again, at high speed, starting from his being framed by You Dalang, to the occurrence of the iron coffin case, to the various accidents encountered, the increasingly treacherous case, and the life and death difficulties he is facing now......

This kind of encounter is like a well-designed dimensionality reduction attack, which comes suddenly and fiercely, catching me off guard and being unable to parry.

However, the more this was the case, Xu Zun's heart calmed down.

Because, he seems to see part of the truth through this mist!

Although he can't see the whole picture yet, he seems to have thought of his own way out.

However, just when Xu Zun thought that the situation was still turning around, an even more shocking and terrible disaster followed.

Cai Kun was arranging the arrest of the internal guards, when suddenly a messenger from the Assassin's Mansion hurriedly ran into the hall and reported to Li Yan with a letter:

"Report to Lord Li, someone found a letter in the iron coffin, which said to assassinate Lord Shi himself!"

After that, the messenger handed the letter to Li Yan.

"Oh?"

Li Yan first looked at Cai Kun and then at Chen Taiji, and then hurriedly opened the letter to check the contents.

Cai Kun and Chen Taiji were very close, and the two of them also approached curiously and read the letter with Li Yan.

The content of the letter didn't seem to be long, and when the three of them read it, they actually looked at Xu Zun in unison!!
