Shangyuan City is not only in Tangzhou, but also in the entire Daxuan Dynasty, and it is also a famous historical city.

It has been the capital three times in the history of this world, and its history dates back 1,500 years.

Although the scale and political status of the city are not as large as Wude City, where the capital of Tangzhou is located, it is far ahead in terms of economic development.

From afar, you can see a huge and imposing city, located at the junction of mountains and plains.

The city wall is heavily walled, the historical sites are mottled, and there is a strong sense of history.

The city is full of traffic and bustling.

"I don't understand......," Immediately, Huo Anu said to Zhao Yu, "It's obvious that we are fighting against injustice, and we are fighting righteously." It's natural to teach those **, but why didn't Lord Xu mention that blind girl, but he had to say that we were attacked? ”

"Hehe, you're too good!" Zhao Yu said with a smile, "If the adults really say that like you, it is equivalent to admitting that we made the first move."

"Although we are officials, it is not a joke to attack the soldiers rashly, and you have to continue to set a rebellion for you."

"Oh......"

If Huo Anu has realized, she is a person in the rivers and lakes, she only seeks pleasure and revenge, but she doesn't know much about the legal code and the like.

"It stands to reason," Zhao Yu continued to explain, "We are not officers, even if we are uneven, at most we will show our identities and stop talking, and we must not do anything!" ”

"Oh......" Huo Anu looked at the carriage in front of him, "I didn't expect Lord Xu to be so clever and have a lot of methods!" If I couldn't beat those *** just now, I would have to be angry! ”

"Hmm...... Fire girl," Zhao Yu took the opportunity to persuade, "It's different from us in Xinye County now, we all have to deal with Lord Hou, so don't be rash in case of trouble, otherwise, you will cause trouble for Lord Xu!" ”

"Got it, long-winded!" Huo Anu glared at Zhao Yu angrily, but he already realized something in his heart.

At this moment, their carriage had already driven into the central avenue of Shangyuan City, and in order to prevent further misunderstandings, Wu Zhengran Lin specially led a team of soldiers to escort them.

In the carriage, Xu Zun put down the portrait of Miss Lu Mingyue, and thoughts soared into his mind.

What he is most worried about now is not the disappearance of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but the bitter mother who is sitting in the same carriage with him.

Ku Niang hides the big secret of the iron coffin case, and he must not only ensure her safety, but also do his best to find out her secret.

After getting along for many days, Ku Niang is still like a robot except for her eyes, and she will only carry out her own instructions.

It's just that, except for eating and sleeping, it seems that no matter what orders she is asked to carry out, she can't do it well.

Her only good thing, though, is quiet.

As long as she doesn't give instructions, she doesn't speak or move, and she doesn't startle, but it's easy to hide her identity.

Originally, Xu Zun wanted to get her head wig to wear, but there was no place to make wigs in Xinye County, so he had to put a thick cotton hat on her first.

Now, Ku Niang is sitting in front of her, her waist straight, which makes Xu Zun can't help but think of the female robot in "The Terminator".

Of course, Xu Zun doesn't believe in evil, but after a few days, he still feels that this bitter girl is too weird.

Whenever he had skin-to-skin contact with her, Xu Zun couldn't help but feel a hideous roar in his mind.

It was as if a certain ancient demon was suppressed in Ku Niang's body, which made Xu Zun feel frightened and terrified.

It's incredible!

As the so-called great mystery is not mysterious, Xu Zun has the current cognition that this world is indeed the same as the original world, there are no ghosts, gods and demons, and he should firmly believe in materialism.

But the feeling that this bitter lady in front of him gave him seemed to be gradually beyond the scope of science.

At this moment, Xu Zun's mind flashed some details of the iron coffin case:

Chen Taiji said: The first iron coffin has air vents, and the shape is closer to a coffin, if you don't touch it, you don't know that it is an iron coffin......

Luo Million said: There is urine and feces in the iron coffin......

When Xu Zun asked about the identities of the 37 people, Chen Taiji and Cai Kun kept silent, but their expressions had been revealed to Xu Zheng to ask for information, and the identities of those people were inconvenient for the outside world to know.

So...... Are they all royal people?

If you guess correctly, the first iron coffin case is very likely to involve the royal insider, so it will be kept secret from top to bottom, and no one even knows where the coffin is now.

Call......

Looking at the bitter lady sitting straight in front of him, Xu Zun seemed to have figured out some things, but he couldn't connect them together.

After all, there are too few clues left for me in the iron coffin case.

All right!

Finally, Xu Zun put away his mind and returned his attention to the missing case in front of him.

He knew that the case in front of him must be a test for himself, and if he could handle it, he would inevitably be reused in the future.

Only then will it be possible to get in touch with the core secrets of the Iron Coffin case.

"Stop!"

Thinking of this, Xu Zun suddenly lifted the curtain and ordered Liu Dong to stop.

"Woo ......" Liu Dong quickly stopped the carriage.

Xu Zun jumped out of the car, came to Huo Anu in the back, and commanded:

"Anu, you take the Liu Dong family to find an inn to settle down first, and Zhao Yu and I will go to the Hou Mansion to investigate the case. After that, let's meet at the county guard's house! ”

"Huh?" Huo Anu was surprised, "Why?" A thief is also ...... Oh no, a subordinate also uses me to protect"

"Don't ask why," Xu Zun whispered, "Your current task is to protect the Liudong family, if there is any mistake in their family, it will be your dereliction of duty!" ”

Xu Zun said extremely hard, even though Huo Anu was not convinced, he still jumped off the horse and got into Liu Dong's carriage very reluctantly.

Seeing the carriage leaving, Xu Zun stepped onto Huo Anu's tall horse and said to Ran Lin: "Take me to the Changping Marquis Mansion right now!" ”

"Huh? This ......"

Ran Lin was also surprised, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to lead the way obediently.

"My lord," Zhao Yu was even more puzzled, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "In the eyes of Master Hou, the seven-rank official is not even bird, you go directly like this, it's not in accordance with the rules, right?" ”

Indeed, according to the tradition of etiquette, Xu Zun must first get an official certificate from the Assassin History, and then be recommended by the Assassin History before he can talk to the Marquis of Changping.

Entering the mansion to investigate the case in this way is not only extremely reckless, but even disrespectful, if you anger the Hou Ye, there will be no good fruit to eat.

However, Xu Zun had already made up his mind and said: "If you don't break it, you can't stand it!" We're five days late, and if we want to know what's really going on, we're going to have to win! ”

……

Half an hour later, the Marquis of Changping's mansion.

The Hou Mansion is magnificent, the high gate is solemn, and the courtyard wall is like a city wall.

"Two," a steward of the Hou Mansion politely said to Xu Zun and Zhao Yushili, "I'm really sorry, because of Miss's matter, Master Hou went out to look for it this morning and hasn't returned yet, so please go back!" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Xu Zun and said in his heart: How is it? I said I had to eat a closed door, right?

"This brother," Xu Zun said, "I bother you to report it again, just say that the official thinks that the problem of the disappearance of the young lady may lie in the Hou Mansion!" ”

"You!?"

The steward was astonished.

Zhao Yu glared in fright.

"Otherwise," Xu Zun said calmly, "Lend me another hundred guts, and I won't dare to disturb Master Hou, you say!?" ”
