Chapter 339: Not Credible
According to what Shen Xingran said, Xu Zun secretly sorted out the whole story of the iron coffin case, and felt that he had a new understanding.
First of all, Qiu Dingtian, a 100-year-old national teacher, mastered a royal secret about the Empress Dowager Lin, so he was hunted down and killed by the Empress Dowager.
As a last resort, Qiu Dingtian fled to Xiazhou to seek refuge in the Ruan family.
However, the Ruan family was afraid of the power of the Empress Dowager, so they had no choice but to kill Qiu Dingtian, put the body in an iron coffin, and secretly escorted back to the holy capital by the internal guards.
Because Ku Niang was hidden at the bottom of the iron coffin, and her exercises were similar to those of the Ruan family, it was possible that Ku Niang was a bodyguard sent by the Ruan family.
Or ...... There is some other purpose.
Next, an accident happened, the iron coffin was robbed in Xinye County, the internal guards were killed, the bitter mother was imprisoned, and Qiu Dingtian's body was missing.
Since the person who imprisoned the bitter mother was Shen Gong Shen Tiande, then Shen Tiande must have participated in the iron coffin robbery.
So...... The question is, why did Shen Tiande rob Qiu Dingtian's body?
Could it be that Qiu Dingtian's corpse could still keep any secrets?
However, Xu Zun could roughly judge that the person who instructed Shen Tiande must have wanted to know the big secret that Qiu Dingtian knew.
From this point of view, that secret must be very important, once mastered, eighty percent can threaten the power of Empress Dowager Lin.
However, it is obvious that these people did not get their wish, either they did not find the secret from Qiu Dingtian's corpse, or there was no Qiu Dingtian's body in the coffin at all.
Otherwise, they would not have imprisoned Ku Niang for more than two years and tortured her.
It stands to reason that Ku Niang should know best whether there is Qiu Dingtian's body in the iron coffin, but now that Ku Niang has lost her memory, I am afraid that she will not know the answer for the time being.
Thinking of this, Xu Zun remembered one more thing, that is, when he personally asked Empress Dowager Lin about the iron coffin case, Empress Dowager Lin's reaction seemed to be a little excessive.
It seems that the big secret hidden behind the iron coffin case is definitely weighty.
Otherwise, Empress Dowager Lin would not have laid out in Yonghui and tried to put pressure on the Ruan family in Xiazhou.
Understood, Xu Zun arranged it briefly.
Shen Tiande and the forces behind it should not be Xuanmen, so it is very likely that it is a force that wants to overthrow the Empress Dowager's regime.
Shen Tiande was a member of the royalist faction because he was a member of the royalist faction, and it seems that the royalist faction wanted to get the big secret that Qiu Dingtian knew, so as to overthrow the Empress Dowager Lin.
Call......
Xu Jing exhaled heavily, feeling that above this court, it was even more sinister than he imagined!
If you don't know which miscalculation, you will never recover!
So...... At present, the matter of finding the crown prince must be done by himself.
"Brother Shen," Thinking of this, Xu Zun asked Shen Xingran again, "Do you think there is something strange about the attack on the prince?" ”
"Strange?" Shen Xingran paused and asked, "Why do you ask that?" Ji Ying, this kind of thing is incredible, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be really hard to believe it! ”
"I ......," Xu Zun thought for a moment and said, "I'm not talking about the Kraken, I'm talking about the Kraken, I mean, after your Tianfu giant ship was attacked, you were adrift at sea for ten days.
"What happened in the past ten days?"
"Huh? You ......" Shen Xingran frowned, his face full of doubts, "Don't you believe me?" The hull of the ship was seriously damaged, the navigation was uncontrollable, and it could only go with the flow, although Wei Pu and the others tried their best, but the ship finally crashed into Gufeng Island. ”
Hearing this, Xu Zun's expression was solemn and he didn't say a word.
"What? Jane? Shen Xingran felt something and asked, "Do you think that when Gu Feng Island came out, I was the only one left, which is illogical?" ”
Xu Zun still didn't speak, but looked at Shen Xingran extremely seriously.
"Ji Ying," Shen Xingran was slightly annoyed, "what do you mean?" ”
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun finally spoke, asking, "Yingying, what's going on?" ”
Ying Ying is the beautiful woman in red clothes and dancing rainbow dance.
"Yingying?" Shen Xingran was stunned and said, "Oh, she'...... She was a court dancer, and I ...... with her Well...... I didn't have anything with her. ”
"Then you are on Gufeng Island, risking your life for her?" Xu Zun asked.
"Alas, well," Shen Xingran said helplessly, "At the beginning of the mission, I had feelings for Ying Ying, but it's a pity that her identity is sensitive, and we can't make it public."
"Later, when I arrived at Kokaze Island, ......alas," he said bitterly, "do you know what it is like to watch the woman you love be taken away by a different man every day?"
"However, my strength is not good, and I am no match for those warriors." Shen Xingran said, "In order to save Yingying, I insisted on fighting every day, I wanted to ...... That's what made me survive, right? ”
Shen Xingran's words were full of helplessness and bitterness, and it was indeed a painful thing.
Moreover, those who once took Yingying away are now on the same boat, and it is inevitable to meet awkwardly.
However, those martial artists didn't do it intentionally, it was all because of the lemon toxin, and Shen Xingran was even more powerless.
"Then ......" Xu Zun could feel Shen Xingran's suffering, and immediately changed the topic and asked, "What about the crown princess?" I can't figure it out, as a noble princess, there must always be maids and maids by her side, right? But why, is she the only one? ”
"Well...... this" Shen Xingran recalled carefully, and replied a few seconds later, "There are six personal maidservants around the crown princess, and they have seen them in the ten days of drifting, but ...... It seems that after entering the Ancient Wind Island, he has never seen it again.
"Why don't you ......," he suggested, "or ask the Crown Princess herself?" She should know, right? ”
"I have already sent someone to ask," Xu Zun said, "As soon as the crown princess entered Gufeng Island, she was taken away by Wang Dian, and her maidservant was missing. Didn't you see that either? ”
Shen Xingran shook his head: "At that time, people became confused, and I couldn't remember many details!" Will...... And the handmaidens were ......."
"Then ......," Xu Zun asked, "Do you have any impressions of those people who gamble?" ”
"It's also very vague," Shen Xingran said with a bitter face, "The place where the gambling is in the palace, and I rarely see them.
"My attention at that time was all on Yingying, so ...... So...... Alas......"
Shen Xingran pinched his head, as if in pain.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun hurriedly reassured, "Since that's the case, then stop drinking!" The lemon toxin stimulates the spirit, and even though I didn't stay there for long, it feels like a big dream when I look back on it now.
"What's more, you've been affected for so long?"
"Ji Ying......" Shen Xingran said, "I don't know what to say about finding the prince!"
"Are you, still not believing in a kraken?"
"No," Xu Zun took a sip of wine and said, "It's not that I don't believe in the Kraken, but I don't believe in the human heart!"
"Brother Shen, if the crown prince was really attacked by the kraken, then why were the survivors who went back to report the news killed?"
