Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 37

Outside the gate of Yizhuang.

A group of officials paced back and forth, extremely anxious.

At this moment, except for the censor Chen Taiji who brought up the criminal case, all other officials were blocked from the door, even Lord Inspector was no exception.

"What's going on here?" Inspector Li Yan asked Qiu Yongnian and the others impatiently, "What's wrong with that jade pendant?"

"The villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know!" Qiu Yongnian paled in panic, and replied, "We asked many people, but we couldn't find out its origin, but I didn't expect that Lord Yushi knew..."

"How long has it been since I've been in here, oh!" Li Yan said anxiously, "This case is really terrible! It was like this two years ago, and it's like this again now!

"Let me tell you, you all know what happened to those county magistrates in the past. If you don't handle it well this time, it will be a lesson for you! Hmph!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes..." Qiu Yongnian didn't know what to say, his body was shaking like chaff.

At this moment, a guard from the Ministry of Punishment came out of the hall of Yizhuang, and said to all the officials:
"My lords, please come in!"

Hearing the call, all the officials hurried to the hall.

When Master Yao Jin was about to go in with Qiu Yongnian, he was stopped by the guards.

The guard didn't explain, and Yao Jin tactfully withdrew.

There is no way, people say that officials can enter, but the master can only be regarded as an official, not qualified.

After all the officials entered the Yizhuang hall, they all covered their mouths and noses in unison. Although the corpse had been embalmed, the smell of the corpse was still extremely strong.

At this moment, Chen Taiji was standing in front of the Taoist priest's corpse, discussing something with one of his guards.

The white cloth on the Taoist priest has been taken off, revealing a body full of scars.

"Master Chen," Inspector Li asked hurriedly, "Where did this Taoist priest come from?"

"En!" Chen Taiji responded, and then told everyone with a serious expression, "Remember, what I will say later is all royal secrets. If anyone dares to spread rumors, they will bear the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." This time, it was the turn of all the officials to shake their heads.

No one expected that the matter would be so important that it was related to royal secrets! ?
"In the ninth year of Guizong, that is, 11 years ago," Chen Taiji said, "there was an incident of assassinating the king in the palace!
"I don't want to go into detail with you about the specifics. You only need to know two things. One is that the assassin's target was Empress Dowager Lin! At that time, Empress Dowager Lin was still the queen!"

what! ?

Everyone was shocked, and Xu Zun couldn't help but thump in his heart, never expecting that this matter would involve the Queen Mother.

As we all know, the mother of the current Daxuan Dynasty is strong and the son is weak, and the actual ruler of the Daxuan Dynasty is the Empress Dowager Lin!
"Second thing," Chen Taiji said again, "The assassins came from the Japanese kingdom in the East China Sea, and what they carried on their bodies." He held up the jade pendant in his hand, "This is the jade pendant!"

Pfft!

Hearing this, all the officials were like a thunderbolt, except for Xu Zun, all the other people's knees softened and they knelt on the ground!
Finished!

Everyone was full of despair, and no one thought that the Taoist priest in the coffin was actually an assassin from the Japanese Kingdom in the East China Sea, and he was also the assassin who assassinated the Queen Mother Lin!

"Back then," Chen Taiji said again, "if it wasn't for the protection of the inner guards, Empress Dowager Lin would have been assassinated long ago!
"And after some fighting, the guards caught a man alive!" He looked at the corpse in the coffin, and said, "Back then, for various reasons, this assassin was not sent to the Inner Guard Mansion, but was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. In prison, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will interrogate him! Look..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse and said correspondingly:

"Face scalding, shoulder sawing, limb piercing, fingernail pulling out, and toe cutting and stitching are all routine operations of the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation for felons!"

what?
Everyone was terrified when they heard it, and Governor Li hurriedly got up and asked, "Then... what happened next?"

"Later..." Chen Taiji looked at the guard next to him, and said, "Later, someone robbed the prison, killed all the guards on duty that day, and rescued that person!"

Pfft!

Inspector Li finally got up and fell down again, and this time, it was like falling into a bottomless abyss, and he couldn't get up again!
"The Empress Dowager is furious," Chen Taiji said with a gloomy expression, "I think there must be a traitor in the Ministry of Punishment, so...you should have heard about the catastrophe that followed, right?"

Hearing this, the scene was dead silent.

Xu Zun searched his memory, but he didn't expect to know about it.

Shen Tiande once told him that after the prison robbery incident, all officials from the Ministry of Punishment were imprisoned overnight, suffered torture, and very few were able to escape from prison alive!
And it was precisely because of that catastrophe that Shen Tiande was able to take over the position and was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment as a servant!
"Fortunately... I had already gone to Dali Temple at that time, and escaped disaster!" Chen Taiji put his disappointed gaze in front of his eyes, and said to everyone, "Now, everyone understands? The nature of the iron coffin case has completely changed. !

"Although dozens of people died in the iron coffin case two years ago, it was nothing more than a headless case!

"But the current hanging coffin case has become a serious case involving the most wanted criminal, and even suspected treason!"

Boom!
All the officials were still struck by lightning, and they all fell to their knees, pale and trembling!
"Chen...Chen Yushi..." Only Li Yan suppressed his excitement and asked, "Are you sure that this Taoist priest is the assassin who was rescued back then?"

Chen Taiji shook his head slightly, looked at the guard next to him again, and said: "I have never seen it before, but I feel that it is more similar to the portrait on the arrest warrant of the internal reference. If you want to confirm it, you need to find the official of the Ministry of Punishment or the guard of Ouchi Come and identify!
"However..." At this point, he looked at the guard next to him for the third time, and then raised the jade pendant and said, "Whether this Taoist priest is the assassin of the past or not, the appearance of this thing means that the iron coffin case has been closed." Linked to the assassination case!
"Your Majesty, and the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid..."

"Chen Yushi," Li Yan said hastily, "the matter is of great importance, so let's write a letter to the Ming Sheng and the Queen Mother!"

"no need!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the guard suddenly took a step forward and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

And when everyone was surprised, the guard suddenly took out a yellow thing from his sleeve, raised his hands above his head, and shouted:

"Listen to the order, the queen mother has arrived! Wait—won't you hurry up and accept the order!!?"

what! ! ?
The officials were so excited that they quickly knelt down on the ground in fear!

"I recently heard that the Xinye iron coffin case has recurred. Cai Kun, the leader of the Cabinet of Internal Guards, followed the Criminal Ministry to investigate the case secretly," said Lang Lang. All prefectures and counties must cooperate fully, and if there is any slack, they will be severely punished!"

"The minister waits for the order!"

All the officials verbally received the order, and their hearts were already panicked.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager had already made preparations and placed the Chief of the Cabinet of Internal Guards among the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to control the investigation of the case at any time.

Could it be... She knew that there would be an accident in this case?

Others panicked a lot, but Xu Zun panicked several times.

He seems to have heard the phrase "the right to do cheap things" from the TV series "Detective Di Renjie", which means that he can deal with it as he wants. Let alone the government, even the barracks and the army have to follow his command!

In addition, there is another important reason for Xu Zun's uneasiness. His father-in-law, Shen Tiande, was forced to resign because he offended the Queen Mother Lin!

This time, can I still have my own good fruit to eat?
God!Sin!
Xu Zun thought that according to the routine, as a newcomer, he would just do a small case and have fun!

But I didn't expect that at the beginning of the game, it was the peak, and I suddenly played on the head of the powerful queen mother...
