Chapter 56
When the fake Qiu Yongnian was pushed to the ground, Xu Zun had already rushed out of the crowd and ran to Shen Gong's side.

"How...how could this be?"

Looking at Shen Gong who was collapsed on the ground, Xu Zun felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Father... woo woo..." Shen Qian burst into tears, "Just now, Dad was trying to protect me and was hit by that iron chain. It's all my fault, it's all my fault... woo..."

"Father, father..."

Xu Zun picked up Shen Gong to check the injury, but saw that Shen Tiande was already so angry that it seemed hopeless.

"No..." Xu Zun's heart was cut like a knife, and his mind went blank.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Tiande was dying, he suddenly grabbed Xu Zun's arm and pulled it hard, his eyes were fixed on Xu Zun, as if he wanted to say something to Xu Zun.

"Father, father..." Xu Zun quickly picked up Shen Gong, put his ear close and said, "I'm here, I'm here!"

Saying "I'm here", tears flowed down the corners of Xu Zun's eyes involuntarily.

When Shen Tiande saw Xu Zun, there seemed to be a flash of relief in his eyes, and he pulled Xu Zun closer, and buried his face into Xu Zun's ear.

Then, with the last ounce of strength, he whispered something in Xu Zun's ear, but Xu Zun didn't nod after hearing it, but suddenly became dumbfounded, his eyes full of disbelief.

In the next second, Shen Tiande's eyes were still open, but his pupils had already expanded, lifeless.

"Yi... Yifu..." Xu Zun came back to his senses and realized that Shen Gong was dead.

"Father!" Seeing this, Shen Qian burst into tears, throwing herself on the corpse and crying, "Father... don't leave me... woo woo woo..."

Seeing that Shen Tiande was seriously injured and died, Huo Anu also knelt in front of the dead in a daze, not knowing what to do?
"Father...Father..." Although Xu Zun's expression was a little dull and numb, he was sad and uncomfortable in his heart, and he also knelt in front of Shen Gong and bowed his head to Shen Gong.

In an instant, scenes from the past flashed in Xu Zun's mind.

After the death of his father Xu Changlin, if Shen Gong hadn't taken him in, he would have been begging for food on the street.

For many years, Shen Gong regarded himself as his own, asked his husband to teach him to read and learn, bought officials and houses for him, and even betrothed his precious daughter to him.

No matter what catastrophe he caused, Mr. Shen would tolerate him and never severely punish or reprimand him.

Although he came here by taking away his home, the sincere family affection can't be erased. The former county captain Xu has long regarded Mr. Shen as his closest relative.

Now that the yin and yang are separated, Xu Zun can't help but feel sad and burst into tears...

"Xu Zun!" At this moment, Shen Qian suddenly got up, grabbed Xu Zun's shoulder and asked, "My father... what did my father say to you just now? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"

"Mr. Shen...he..." Xu Zun hesitated a little, and then said, "Mr. Shen told me...to take good care of you!"

"Really?" Shen Qian didn't believe it, "He really only said these things?"

"Yes!" Xu Zun lowered his head.

"Woooo..." Shen Qian burst into tears, full of resentment, turned around and cried again, "Father, if it wasn't for protecting me, you wouldn't have had any accidents, dad, it's all my fault... woooooo..."

Seeing Shen Qian crying too much, Huo Anu had no choice but to hold back her sadness and stepped forward to comfort her.

Zhao Yu, the head catcher, also came to Xu Zun's side, and comforted him...

At the same time, the entire county government has quieted down, Bai Xiaolong, Lu Qing and others have been killed by the inner guards and died on the spot.

Some of the accomplices who rebelled violently in the courtyard were killed, some were knocked unconscious, and some were subdued.

Above the courtroom, Chen Taiji, Li Yan, Tai Min and others in disheveled official robes were squatting or sitting, rubbing their heads and still feeling dizzy.

Look at that fake Qiu Yongnian again, lying on his back on the ground, but he has long been motionless.

The medical officer is examining his body...

Cai Kun held the chair whose leg was broken by the fake Qiu Yongnian in his hand, rubbed the stubble and inspected it carefully.

When he found out that the chair was indeed just an ordinary chair, his eyes were fierce, his body trembled, and his anger could not be concealed.

"My... my lord..." The medical officer pointed at the motionless fake Qiu Yongnian, and said in a trembling voice, "The silver needle... pierced into his brain, causing him to fall into a coma..."

"Ah?" Cai Kun frowned, "Can he still wake up?"

"Humble... I don't dare to remove the humble job," the medical officer replied tremblingly, "I'm afraid... it will hurt my life."

Snapped!
Cai Kun smashed the chair into pieces and shouted loudly: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots!!! Ah..."

Seeing Cai Kun was furious, all the guards quickly fell to their knees.

"It's such an embarrassment to the Inner Guard Mansion!" Cai Kun punched the public case, "Did I bring a bunch of wine bags and rice bags?

"More than a dozen people, even one gangster can't be subdued, why are you still alive!!?"

"My lord... My lord, calm down... You deserve ten thousand deaths for lowly duties, ten thousand deaths for crimes..." The guards knew that they had failed their duty, and prostrated themselves on the ground, pleading guilty.

call……

Cai Kun exhaled heavily, he was more worried about his own future than convicting these guards.

The investigation of the iron coffin case was already very successful, but he wanted to give the fake Qiu Yongnian a blow in the courtroom, and gave him a silver needle, which caused the situation to get out of control.

Cai Kun has been with the emperor for many years, and he is well aware of the Queen Mother's temper. He himself cannot absolve himself of the blame for the way the case has been handled, and he must be blamed.

Moreover, according to the procedure, when the fake Qiu Yongnian is found out to be the real culprit in the iron coffin case, he should have escorted him to the back hall for a secret interrogation.

Ugh!
I am also hot-headed, how can such an important person make such a low-level mistake?
but……

To be honest, as the leader of the inner guard cabinet, Cai Kun has dealt with all kinds of criminals for so many years, and this is the first time he has met someone as powerful as the fake Qiu Yongnian.

This person's martial arts are beyond imagination, and what's even more surprising is that he hides too deeply, making people mistakenly think that he is just a weak scholar.

In fact, Wei Zuoyan had confessed before that it was the fake Qiu Yongnian who killed You Dalang himself, and he must be no ordinary person who can kill You Dalang with one blow.

If I could have investigated earlier and raised my alert level, perhaps this accident would not have happened.

Now, the fake Qiu Yongnian has fallen into a coma, and Mr. Shen has been implicated and victimized. If he can't find out the ins and outs, it may be difficult to go back and make business.

Thinking of this, Cai Kun took out the jade pendant, walked quickly to those fake Qiu Yongnian's accomplices, raised the jade pendant and asked loudly:
"Listen to me, anyone who can tell the origin of this jade pendant will be exonerated! No, all will be exempted!"

Cai Kun knew that Empress Dowager Lin was most concerned about the situation of the Japanese assassin.

As long as he can find out the origin of this jade pendant, then the clues will not be broken, and he can make sure that he can explain it.

However, he held the jade pendant and turned around, but none of the criminals present responded.

From their sluggish expressions, it can be seen that they are just low-level minions who don't know who they are working for!
"Damn it!" Cai Kun roared in disappointment, and ordered his opponent, "Take these people down and serve them with torture, so that their life would be worse than death!!!"

"Yes!"

The guards acted immediately and began to drag the criminal.

"Forgive me, forgive me, my lord..."

The criminals realized what they were going to suffer, and they were all numb with fright, shaking like chaff.

But no matter how loudly they begged, the guards dragged them mercilessly into the back hall...
