I click!

what's the situation! ?

When the guards removed the closet and smashed the hidden wooden door, a dark entrance immediately appeared in front of everyone.

Xu Zun was at a loss for a moment and couldn't believe his eyes.

I have lived in this house for more than half a year, how come I never know that there is a secret passage behind the closet?
He tried his best to explore the memory, but the memory told him that he really didn't know anything.

"My lord," the guard reported to Cai Kun, "It looks like steps inside, and it looks very deep!"

"How?" Seeing everyone's amazed eyes, Cai Kun said triumphantly, "Let me just say, this matter is definitely not that simple!"

After finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers at his subordinates, and four inner guards lit the fire first, armed with swords, and entered the secret passage to investigate.

After a while, a light came on inside.

After a while, one of the guards ran out in a panic, and immediately bowed in front of Cai Kun, trembling and reporting:
"My lord! If you find something important, go in and have a look!"

"Oh? Good!" Cai Kun was very excited, straightened his clothes immediately, and said to the officials around him, "Come on, everyone, let's take a look together. What kind of gift did our County Captain Xu prepare for us?"

While speaking, he deliberately observed Xu Zun's reaction, and then ordered: "Bring them in together!"

So, under the leadership of the guards, everyone entered the secret passage one by one.

Just after entering the secret passage, there is a downward step.

Everyone went down the steps and came to a narrow corridor.

The corridor is narrow, with lampstands built on both sides.

When the oil lamp is lit, you can see that the corridor is clean and tidy, without dust, and there is enough oil in the oil lamp, which means that someone maintains it frequently.

Everyone walked forward along the passageway of the crowd, walked a full 30 meters, and finally came to a relatively open secret room.

However, Cai Kun, who was walking in the front, was stunned when he first saw the situation in the secret room!
His eyes were wide open, his cheeks trembled, it seemed that the things in the secret room had far exceeded his expectations.

Immediately afterwards, after all the officials entered the hall, they were all stunned as if struck by lightning.

The elderly Li Yan was even more paralyzed and almost collapsed on the ground, but fortunately Chen Taiji helped him in time.

At this moment, since Xu Zun was at the back of the line, after seeing the astonished expressions of the people in front, his curiosity suddenly rose to the peak.

Judging from the location, this secret room is just below his backyard.

There is such a large space underground in the backyard, and it is unbelievable that I don't even know about it.

So, he did not hesitate to lean forward, even put his head on Luo Wanwan's shoulder and squeezed in.

However, before he saw the situation in the secret room, he heard an order from Cai Kun in front:
"Quick! Take Xu Zun down! Take it down!!!"

what?
Xu Zun was already tied up with ropes, and they had already captured him, why should he be captured again?
"Yes!"

However, the guards in front had already comprehended the meaning of the leader, and immediately pushed Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan away, then pulled Xu Zun into the hall, pulled out the sword awkwardly, and put the cold blade on Xu Zun's neck superior!
I am Nima!
When Xu Zun was pushed down to the ground, he finally saw the situation in the secret room clearly.

However, there are large pieces of iron plates, rivets, hammers, saws and other things scattered in the secret room, and in the very center of the secret room lies a black as ink, huge size—iron coffin! ! !
This……

This is this...

Under the astonishing shock, Xu Zun couldn't even scold his mother and bear!
What exactly is this for?
Why... the iron coffin appeared in the basement of my own home?
Could it be that the chief culprit of the iron coffin case is——me! ! ?

impossible!

Xu Zun's mind went blank, even though he had passed through, his memory would not lie, he had nothing to do with this iron coffin at all!
Looking up, I saw that the iron coffin in front of me was not yet completed, there were a large piece of iron plates that had not been assembled, and there was no coffin lid on it.

However, there seemed to be something lying in the coffin, Xu Zun couldn't see clearly because his vision was blocked.

"It's... so!?"

At this moment, Qiu Yongnian was also paralyzed on the ground, his face full of disbelief, and at the same time, he looked at Xu Zun with resentful eyes.

"Why..." he asked tremblingly, "How could it be you?"

"Hmph!" Luo Wanwan snorted coldly from behind, but there was only anger in his eyes.

"My lord!" At this time, a guard reported to Cai Kunhui, "A dead body was found in the coffin, it seems that he died not long ago."

what?
Xu Zun thought the shock would stop here, but he didn't expect it to continue.

"Bring it out and let them recognize it." Cai Kun ordered the guards to carry the body out.

As a result, before seeing the appearance of the corpse, Xu Zun recognized the owner of the corpse just by the clothes, and it was his housekeeper—Xiaoqi! ! !
"My lord," Qiu Yongnian also recognized him, and said hastily, "This man is the servant of Captain Xu."

blah blah...

The corpse was thrown in front of Xu Zun, and Xiao Qi's young face no longer had any signs of life.His eyes were wide open, and he was unwilling to die, but there was an abrupt twist on his neck.

The neck was twisted off!

Xu Zun said silently in his heart, this method of death is exactly the same as that of the master Liu Zhang.

Clean and agile, one move is fatal.

The person who killed Xiao Qi should be the master that Huo Anu talked about!

"Beautiful! Really beautiful!" At this moment, Cai Kun seemed to have just recovered from the shock, and said in his usual tone, "How are you, everyone, I said that this case must be caused by an insider, right?

"Lieutenant Xu County, you have hidden it really deep!" He held up the letter to Xu Zun and said, "If Cai's guess is correct, the person who exposed you should also be one of your important subordinates, right? Unfortunately, you were betrayed by your own people!"

Gee...

Xu Zun frowned, and said in his heart, I was not betrayed, but framed again.

"Now, don't hurry up and tell your friend the truth..."

Cai Kun originally said that it was inevitable, but before he could say the word "confession", his eyes suddenly froze!
Immediately afterwards, between opening and closing his brows, he seemed to think of an important thought.

"My lord! I have something to say!!" At this moment, an old but extremely powerful voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw that this person was Xinye County Cheng Luo Wanwan with his hands bound!
"This house..." Luo Wanwan breathed out, "It's not Xu Zun's!"

boom……

In just a few words, Xu Zun was still hit by five thunders. He already knew what Luo Wanwan wanted to say!

"My lord!" Luo Wanwan knelt heavily on the ground, and said bitterly, "I believe that Xu Zun can never commit such a shocking case with the power of Xu Zun alone.

"Behind him, there must be more powerful forces supporting him!"

"Oh..." Cai Kun narrowed his eyes, showing that dark and chilling smile again, "That's right, I thought of it together, since it's like this...

"Master Chen, Lord Li!" He turned around and ordered to the imperial censor Chen Taiji and the governor Li Yan, "Immediately organize everyone to surround the Shen residence and arrest Shen Tiande!!

"The entire Shen family, no one can be let go!!!"
