A few days later.

Xu House.

The moon is in the sky.

Xu Zun sat alone in front of the desk, pouring himself a drink, and his mind was still thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

The funeral of his father-in-law Shen Tiande has been held, and the father-son kindness over the years still allowed Xu Zun to attend the funeral.

However, due to the obstruction of Shen Qian's two elder brothers, he could not receive filial piety in front, so he could only follow the team to see him off.

At the time of the burial, Xu Zun still shed tears irrepressibly.

Although, with the appearance of the bitter mother, Shen Gong's identity has become more and more blurred, but the old man's nurturing grace to himself is irreplaceable.

The kind of feeling that arises spontaneously from the depths of his heart makes Xu Zun feel extremely sad......

At the funeral, there was something that surprised Xu Zun, that is, Shen Tiande's eldest son, Shen Xingqun, who is now in a high position in the Ministry of War, has never appeared.

Later, after asking Huo Anu, I learned that Shen Xingqun had been ordered to accompany the prince and the minister of the Ministry of Rites to the ten countries of the East China Sea.

There are ten island countries in the vast East China Sea, which have close trade relations with the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The so-called East China Sea Wa people are only a race, not a country, and they are distributed among these ten island countries.

Due to the distance of the sea chart, it was impossible for Shen Xingqun to rush back to attend the funeral, and even the news that Shen Gong had passed away was not known.

After Shen Gong's funeral, Xinye County finally returned to calm.

Luo County was ordered to act as the county magistrate and was responsible for handling the follow-up matters of the iron coffin case.

According to the confession of the criminal, they really dug a secret passage from the county office, which connected the county office, Xu's house and the prison.

There is not only one secret passage entrance, but also a secret passage entrance and exit in the study room of the county order!

Looking at these secret passages, Luo Xiancheng was extremely emotional, and at the same time very afraid.

This gang of gangsters occupies almost the entire county office, but as a county official, he does not investigate, and if the above blames him, he may not escape responsibility.

The county government returned to calm, and Xu Zun's family gradually settled down.

He had quietly sealed the secret room under the stove, and this secret could not be known to outsiders under any circumstances, including Liu Dong's father and daughter.

Of course, before sealing it, he carefully searched the entire secret room to make sure that nothing else was found.

In the past few days, through the care of Liu Dong's father and daughter, the family has basically returned to its original appearance, and it is a little more angry.

Originally, Xu Zun arranged Ku Niang as Liu Dong's wife, so they should have let their family of three go home to live.

But now that Ku Niang's identity has not been clarified, how can he let Ku Niang easily leave his sight.

So, he simply used the reason that Liu Dong's family lived far away, and let them live in a side house of Xu Mansion with "a family of three".

In this way, it can not only block the tongue of outsiders, but also find clues from Ku Niang with peace of mind, and at the same time facilitate Liu Dong to manage housework.

Don't look at Xiao Xiwa is only 6 years old, but she is a big ghost, and she is also a good worker, proficient in washing and wiping, and especially good at taking care of people.

With her help, Ku Niang has changed into women's clothes and shaved off all her hair. In the future, when the new hair grows up, it will definitely look new.

Moreover, Xiao Xiwa didn't know where to get cosmetics to cover up the scars on Ku Niang's cheeks.

Unexpectedly, after covering the scars, Ku Niang is really beautiful, with delicate facial features and clear lines.

It's just that her eyes are still hawkish, and people don't dare to look directly.

At present, Xu Zun only has one of the most important and distressing things left, that is, to find out the origin of the bitter mother.

For several days, he tried all kinds of methods, but he was never able to find any useful clues.

Ku Niang really did what Liu Dong said, she would carry out Xu Zun's orders, as long as she could do it, she would hardly hesitate without blinking.

Let her dance, and she will dance, but the dance will be clumsy and crumbling.

Let her practice martial arts, and she will also practice martial arts, but her martial arts are not as good as dancing.

Let her work, and she will work, but she will do it.

Let her stir-fry and almost burn herself to death......

A thought flashed through Xu Zun's mind, what if she wanted her to do that kind of thing? Or, if she were to kill herself, would she not hesitate to die?

Of course, this is limited to one thought.

After a long time, Xu Zun found another situation, I don't know if it was the blessing of the protagonist's halo, Ku Niang actually just obeyed him, but didn't pay much attention to Liu Dong and Xiwa's words.

Don't...... Is it because he was the first to dictate to her?

Still is...... The Three Laws of Robotics?

No, no, the three laws of robots seem to be non-harming humans......

Although she didn't listen to Liu Dong and Xiwa's commands, her performance in the past few days was enough to make Xu Zun let down his guard and know that she didn't have any lethality.

Xiwa shaves her head, and she will cooperate unconditionally.

Xu Zun had physical contact with her, and she was indifferent, although her eyes were always cold and stunning, she did not move.

In order to wake up something, Xu Zun even took her to the underground secret room and let her come into contact with the iron coffin left by the fake Qiu Yongnian and others.

But seeing the iron coffin, Ku Niang was still indifferent......

Gee......

At this moment, Xu Zun took a sip of spirits and thought in his mind, what else can be done?

If you can't find anything from Ku Niang, wouldn't that be a waste of half your efforts?

Don't...... Do you have to go back to square one and start investigating?

Origin......

Xu Zun turned to think of his stepfather, Shen Tiande.

Before, when the two met and talked at the county office, Xu Zun raised his suspicions and asked Shen Gong if he had participated in the first iron coffin case?

At that time, the reason why Xu Zun suspected him was because two years ago, that is, around the time of the first iron coffin case, Xu Zun had discovered that Shen Tiande's behavior was abnormal.

At that time, their family was still living in the Shen Mansion in Xuanmiao City, the capital of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

Late one night, Xu Zun had diarrhea in the middle of the night and squatted in the toilet, but he heard someone talking outside the wall in the toilet.

He could clearly hear that one of them was his father-in-law, Shen Tiande.

It's just that he couldn't hear clearly through the wall, and he was confused, so he only heard the words "everything is ready", "on the back mountain bridge" and "do it when the time comes".

No matter how stupid Xu Zun is, he knows that there is a problem, outside the latrine is a dead corner of the courtyard where no one will go, in the middle of the night, how can Shen Gong chat with others in such a place?

Now that I think about it, the words of Shen Gong and others seem to have a lot to do with the first iron coffin case.

Moreover, listening to the tone of Shen Gong's speech at that time, it seemed that Shen Gong was not the highest level among several people, and he should also be acting according to orders.

Other words......

Xu Zun held the wine glass to his lips and smacked the taste, Shen Gong still has superiors, and he is just a participant.

After the task was completed, Shen Gongzhishi just returned to his hometown and returned to Xinye County.

So, his superiors handed over the bitter girl to him for secret interrogation, so as to hide people's eyes.

Who would have thought that the things in the iron coffin had always been in Xinye County?

Gee......

I don't know, will Shen Gong's online in the future come to look for him?

And Shen Gong, who is he serving?

Presumably, it must be the powerful people in the DPRK and China, the princes and ministers, right?

The case......

Xu Zun was savoring the mystery, but the door outside was suddenly smashed!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The voice was hurried, and Xu Zun suddenly woke up from his thoughts.

"It's coming, it's coming...... Who is it? ”

Xu Zun got up and went to the courtyard to open the door, thinking that it was Zhao Yu who knocked on the door again.

But before the door opened, I heard the sound of Huo Anu burning outside:

"Xu Zun, go and take a look! Miss She ...... Miss she ......"

Yes!!?

Hearing this, Xu Zun almost fell down, and hurriedly opened the door and exclaimed:

"What's wrong with Miss?"

She ...... She ...... "Huo Anu grabbed Xu Zun's collar and said, "She's a monk......"
