Chapter 219 No breathing
broken……
Xu Zun frowned, and didn't want to ask questions, but he actually asked himself.
However, he knew that the matter about Ku Niang could not escape the eyes of the guards, so he had already prepared and said:
"I am a friend of mine! I am very loyal! I don't call me mute girl, but I call me Ku Niang!"
"Ku Niang..." Cai Kun repeated, as if he had something to say to Xu Zun.
"By the way," Xu Zun quickly changed the subject and asked, "Sir Cai, since I have no way out, can I tell me the whole story of the iron coffin case now?"
"What?" Cai Kun was stunned, "Didn't you tell you? The iron coffin contained the body of the national teacher Qiu Dingtian, but the body had been stolen!"
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "Why did the national guru defect? Why did he escape to Xiazhou? What happened in Xiazhou? Also, why did those who hijacked the iron coffin steal the national guru's body?"
"Well..." Cai Kun frowned and said frankly, "Tell you the truth. Some things are not something I, the inner guard leader, can know about."
"You don't know either?" Xu Zun expressed suspicion, feeling that Cai Kun didn't know, but dared not say anything.
"Yes, I thought the Empress Dowager would summon you this time when you come back, and I want to ask you!" Cai Kun said, "Now it seems that this matter has also troubled the Empress Dowager!"
"You said..." Xu Zun asked, "I destroyed Xiazhou's deployment, the Queen Mother..."
"Ji Ying..." Cai Kun waved his hand quickly, "This is not a place to talk. Let's talk again when you have time!"
oh……
Xu Zun saw that although they were both inner guards, Cai Kun seemed to be afraid of this place.
Finally, after waiting for an incense stick, a man walked out of the house.
This person looks in his forties, unkempt, dressed casually, dressed sloppy, and had a sour smell on his body, as if he hadn't taken a shower for a long time.
Behind the man was a boy in plain clothes. The boy was exactly the same as the man, and he looked sloppy, even his hair was crooked.
"Brother Bi Sheng!" Seeing the middle-aged man, Cai Kun quickly saluted.
However, when he finished giving the gift and was about to recommend Xu Zun, Bi Sheng interrupted Cai Kun and said:
"Cai Geling, please take Xiaoyi away! He has memorized all the information you want. After asking, let him return by himself."
After saying that, Bi Sheng gave a perfunctory gift, then turned around and entered the room without even taking a look at Xu Zun.
this……
Xu Zun was also drunk and had never seen such a weird thing before. How could he know what he wanted?
However, Cai Kun seemed to be accustomed to it, and immediately waved his hand to the young man and then signaled Xu Zun to leave.
After leaving the house, Cai Kun never spoke. He rode a horse and took a boy named Xiaoyi back to the Neiwei Mansion with Xu Zun.
It was just a few steps, but not long after, Xiaoyi was taken back to the living room where Cai Kun worked.
"Okay," Cai Kun asked Xiaoyi to speak after all the people sat down, "What information did you ask your Bige Ge leader to memorize?"
"Duke of Liang, Xue Guihua, 75 years old, uncle of the late emperor..." Xiaoyi said like a robot, "Because of his contribution to the establishment of the Nanyang trade, he was granted the title of Duke of Liang in the ninth year of Shengping, and lived in Xinglongfang, Xuanmiaocheng...
"The assassination is suspected to be a concubine. The woman's household registration is from Wanyang, Mingzhou. She is only nineteen years old and is presented to her servants of the Xue family. She is deeply loved by Duke Liang...
"After being killed that day, the whereabouts of this woman were unknown..."
oh……
So that's it. Xu Zun understood that the child actually memorized the information of the seventeen murdered princes and ministers.
It seems that Bi Sheng had known Cai Kun’s purpose for a long time, and knew that Cai Kun and Xu Zun were going to investigate this large-scale assassination.
"Han Zhang, the governor of Songzhou..." After memorizing the Duke of Liang, Xiaoyi began to recite the next one again.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Zun suddenly interrupted Xiaoyi and asked, "You haven't told me about the incident yet! When was Xue Guihua assassinated, where was she assassinated, how did she assassinate, what weapon did she use, and what kind of weapons did she use.
Who are the witnesses?”
"I was assassinated at noon the day before yesterday," Xiaoyi said absurdly, "I died in the bedroom where Duke Liang was resting. How could I be assassinated? This is not..."
Xu Zun covered his face and asked, "What does it mean to not be?"
"Ji Ying," Cai Kun waved his hand and signaled, "He means that he will tell us whatever he recites, and if he doesn't recite it, it will naturally be gone!"
"This..." Xu Zun frowned.
"It's okay," said Cai Kun, "the scene of the crime has been blocked by the inner guards. In case of mistakes, the Empress Dowager sent Dali Temple and the Godly Captain Department at the same time. I will give you detailed information about the crime later.
"And...even if I don't get the permission, I can take it to your scene."
"Okay!" Xu Zun nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiaoyi, "Okay, you can continue!"
So Xiaoyi continued his report and told all the information about the victims.
Xu Zun listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became. These seventeen people were all officials of a very high level in the dynasty. Some were famous, some worked hard and made great contributions, some had important positions, and most of them even needed to enter the Golden Palace.
Morning court.
In this way, the princes and ministers were assassinated at the same time on the same day, and Xuanmen really put in some effort in this move.
And so many people died all at once, and all had rifts with the Queen Mother, it really did have the effect of shaking the Chaogang.
Could it be...Is this what they call the heavenly tribulation?
If they have follow-up actions, wouldn’t this large-scale assassination be alarmed?
From now on, Xuanmiao City will inevitably be more vigilant. How can they make waves?
As he thought about it, Xu Zun thought of many ancient costume film and television dramas in his mind. He felt that many ancient terrorists in film and television dramas would use a huge building.
For example, in the Tongtian Empire, terrorists wanted to blow up the statue of the gods and then smash the ruler to death.
So... isn't the same in the heavenly tribulation in front of you?
Before in Yonghui, Xu Zun had seen the power of explosives. Since Daxuan has explosives, maybe Xuanmen will really work hard on this, right?
The collapse of huge buildings also seems to reflect the word "Heavenly Tribulation".
But...if that is true, it seems that it would be unwise to assassinate these princes and ministers?
Tsk tsk...
Xu Zun thought carefully and felt more and more that there was something wrong with it, so he had to check it carefully.
Xiaoyi's memory is indeed amazing. It took him half an hour to finish it all.
I don’t know if it was the rule of the inner guard. After Xiaoyi finished speaking, Cai Kun sent someone to send him away, and no one was arranged to take a record during this period.
In this way, Xu Zun could only remember the information of the princes and ministers based on his memory.
After Xiaoyi left, Xu Zun said to Cai Kun:
"Mr. Cai, the situation is urgent. I think we should not waste time and start taking action quickly!"
"Then..." Cai Kun asked, "How do you act?"
"I need to survey the scene and understand the details of each assassination!" Xu Zun said, "Also, my friends must also participate in the investigation.
"In addition, you have to send me enough staff, especially one or several experts who are proficient in the urban landforms and urban defense structure of Xuanmiaocheng!"
"This..." Cai Kun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay! But..."
Cai Kun was not worried about anything else. The only thing he was worried about was that Xu Zun was not of sufficient rank. There is no new appointment now. Xu Zun was just a mere Tangzhou punishment, which was obviously not just a bad reputation.
Unexpectedly, before Cai Kun finished speaking, someone from his subordinates suddenly came in to spread the news:
"Sir, Xu Yusheng, the Minister of War, wrote a letter. At noon the day before yesterday, he was also assassinated!"
"Ah?" Cai Kun was surprised, "Why didn't you report?"
"Mr. Xu is inspecting Xuanhe County," the visitor reported, "because the assassination was a dancer he adopted, he did not report it because he was afraid that it would be bad if it was reported..."
"Xu Yusheng...tsk tsk..." Cai Kun smacked his lips and sighed, "This Xu Yusheng has just been scolded by the Queen Mother! The Minister of War is not in the Holy Capital, so Xu Yusheng has soldiers under him..."
"Report..."
As a result, Cai Kun did not finish his speech, and another guard came to report:
"Sir, it's not good. I just received a quick report that the King Yu of Qingzhou and the King of Jin of Qizhou were assassinated. It was also noon the day before yesterday..."
