Xinye County, Yizhuang.

In the middle of the night, the moon was dark and the sky was high, and the wind was cold.

Since most of the people were transferred to the county government and the Shen Mansion, there was only a group of guards left here.

The lack of manpower and the lack of shifts meant that these people would be watching here all night, and if they really stood outside scrupulously patrolling, they would probably have to freeze.

In the cold wind, several guards were so cold that their hands and feet were numb, and they had to curl up in the leeward corner.

Originally, they could hide in the hall to keep warm, but there were four stinking corpses lying in the hall, and they would rather freeze outside than enter the house.

The cold wind is getting worse and worse, and the guards think that in this kind of ghostly weather, there will be no mistakes tonight.

However, they were wrong, and several black shadows in night clothes had been waiting in the dark for a long time.

Seeing that the time was ripe, they quietly sneaked into the village, went around to the window, and then opened the window and crept into the hall.

There were four people in the group, all of whom carried oil drums filled with tung oil.

After entering the hall, several people immediately split up, intending to spray the tung oil in their hands on the four corpses.

Who knows, before they could uncork the oil drum, a large net suddenly fell on the top of their heads!

Yes!!?

The four were shocked, and one of them was covered in a large net in front of his head!

The other three reacted quickly, rolling to the sides to avoid the net.

Before one of them could get up, he was hooked by several hooks.

As the hook tightened, there was a cracking sound of flesh cracking on the man's body.

Yes!

With a scream, the man was pulled into the shadows......

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

The remaining two men in black noticed that the situation was not good, and immediately retreated towards the window.

Just as the two of them jumped and flew away, trying to escape through the window, several iron rods stabbed in from outside the window!

Boom!

The iron rod stabbed the two of them, knocking them to the ground and vomiting blood.

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen people dressed as guards rushed out of the darkness and pressed the two men to the ground with a special steel fork.

It turned out that the guards knew that someone was attacking tonight, and they had been in ambush here for a long time.

Seeing that the four men in black were successfully subdued, the guards thought that they were done.

But he never expected that the one covered by the net would sneer at the fire and ignite the oil drum in his arms!

Rumble......

Tongues of fire erupted in an instant, and then exploded from the net, and in an instant, the fire ignited, and the man was burned into a burning man!

But the man resolutely pounced on one of the corpses.

"Quick! Stop him, stop him! ”

The leader of the guards was shocked and hurriedly called for the guards to stop him.

But at this moment, a sky-high flame erupted again in the darkness, and it turned out that the man in black who was hooked by the hook also ignited the oil drum in his arms!

Rumble......

Suddenly, the fire broke out, and the guards panicked.

And taking advantage of this time, the man in black before used his last breath and finally pounced on the corpse, causing the corpse to ignite together.

Seeing the corpse ignited, the man in black finally showed a look of relief and was about to die happily.

But he never expected that as the white cloth was burned and curled, he was surprised to find that there was only a scarecrow under the white cloth, and there was no corpse at all......

Yes......

The man in black let out a desperate howl, then curled up in a ball, never to move again......

A quarter of an hour later, the fire was extinguished by the combined efforts of the guards, and the two men in black who were leading the oil drums were already burned beyond recognition.

"Boss ......"

Just then, one of the guards reported to the leader, his tone full of regret.

The leader of the guards hurriedly went over to check, only to find that the two men in black who were subdued by steel forks had no vital signs.

After lifting their masks, they saw that their faces were dark, their lips were purple, and they were foaming at the mouth, apparently having committed suicide by poisoning......

……

The next morning, instead of appearing at the right time, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, and tiny white granular snowflakes floated in the air.

"One, two, three, fall!"

Rumble!

A loud bang sounded in the compound of the Xinye County Ya, and the huge and heavy iron coffin fell to the center of the courtyard.

The county government compound, which was originally spacious enough, suddenly looked cramped and depressed after such a pitch-black iron coffin was put aside.

After the iron coffin was settled, the workers began to dismantle the scaffolding, but due to unskilled operation, it took a long time to work a stick of incense before finally removing all the tools.

After the workers left the site, more than 40 people, including officials, catchers, jailers, servants, and miscellaneous servants, were taken to the compound in turn and stood around the iron coffin.

At the same time, the guards of the Internal Guard Mansion, the Criminal Department, the Assassin's Mansion, and the County Guard Mansion all held swords and blocked and surrounded the entire county government.

Looking at the public hall of the county government, there are four corpses, namely the Taoist priest in the iron coffin, Liu Zhang, the chief bookkeeper, and You Dalang and Chunniang and his wife.

The corpse was covered with a white cloth, which made the court exude a strange and solemn atmosphere.

There were five people sitting on the seats on either side of the hall, and on the left were Yushi Chen Taiji, Thorn Shi Li Yan, and Junshou Taemin.

On the right is the county magistrate Qiu Yongnian and the county Cheng Luo million.

Behind the five people, there were civil servants at all levels, including Master Yao Jin, as well as a group of guards from the Internal Guard Mansion.

And on the main seat behind the public case, it is the person in charge of this iron coffin case, the cabinet leader of the Internal Guard Mansion - Cai Kun!

At this moment, Cai Kun was not as majestic and imposing as before, but thoughtfully playing with the jade pendant from the East China Sea Wa clan, as if he was thinking about something important.

Moreover, from his sunken eyes, it was clear that he must have stayed awake all night last night, and it was difficult to hide his fatigue.

"Your Excellency......" At this time, one of his subordinates came to Cai Kun to report, "Everything is ready, you can start!" ”

"Oh."

Cai Kun responded, immediately picked up the shocking wood on the public case, and slapped it hard.

Syllable!

There was a crisp sound, and the entire county office suddenly fell silent.

Different from previous trials, a large number of people here are likely to be implicated because of the case, so people hold their breath and dare not even come out.

There was a dead silence in the courtroom, which was extremely depressing.

"Should I shout 'ascend to the church'?" Cai Kun asked Qiu Yongnian.

"Yes, yes!" Qiu Yongnian nodded hurriedly.

"Okay," Cai Kun said loudly in front of everyone, "Let me state to you in advance that due to the seriousness of the Iron Coffin case, the involvement is very wide, complicated, and sensitive.

"Therefore, we are going to have a special closed court trial today, and no matter what the final outcome of the trial is, everyone present must keep it a secret and not spread it until death, understand!?"

"Yes!" The crowd said yes.

"Good!" Cai Kun nodded, "I announce that the iron coffin case is now officially starting to be heard, and it will be promoted!" Bringing people to commit crimes!! ”
