Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 21
Xinye County, Shen Mansion.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

The servants were sweeping the fallen leaves, the maids were feeding the fish by the pool, everything was peaceful like an ink painting.

Shen Tiande was wearing dark blue casual clothes, lying on the stone platform, watching something intently.

On the stone platform is a chess game, and the chess pieces are all made of precious ivory.

Surprisingly, there was no one playing against him on the opposite side of the chessboard, but a birdcage with a green bird in it.

"Yes, that's the situation," Xu Zun's voice came from the stone bench next to him, "Father, you don't want Qianqian to be a widow before she gets married, do you?"

blah blah blah!

Hearing Xu Zun's nonsense, the chess piece in Shen Tiande's hand dropped with a crisp sound.

"Jiying, can you speak a little more auspiciously?" Shen Tiande glared at Xu Zun angrily, and said, "I thought you were asking me to kowtow to admit your mistake! Unexpectedly, you still want someone from me, and... ...are you still so confident?"

"Uncle, oh no, adoptive father." Xu Zun wiped his nose and asked weakly, "What do you mean by playing chess with the bird? Come, come, let me play with you!"

"Damn you!" Shen Tiande frowned, "I'm breaking the mess! You boy, you still have the same virtue! You want Huo Anu from me, how can I help you? She is a woman, a woman! Can Sissy agree? ?"

It turned out that Xu Zun came to the old man specifically because he wanted the old man to lend him Huo Anu for use.

Huo Anu is known as the number one expert in Xinye County. If she is by her side to protect her, it will obviously improve her sense of security and survival rate.

"Father," who knows, Xu Zun didn't answer the question directly, but said in a nonchalant way, "Do you understand the case of the iron coffin two years ago?"

"What?" Shen Tiande frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"Hey? Isn't this a nice bird? Why haven't I seen it before?" Xu Zun pointed to the birdcage and asked again.

"This bird has been raised for 4 years, have you never seen it?" Shen Tiande's eyebrows were almost twisted into twists, "Hey, can you talk nicely?"

"Father," said Xu Zun, lying on the ground, picking up the chess pieces that fell just now, "Two years ago, there was an iron coffin case in Xinye County. Killed 37 people, you know about this, right?"

"Know?" Shen Tiande looked at Xu Zun and asked, "You are a county captain, don't you know?"

"I really don't know!" Xu Zun shook his head, "I don't even know that the former county lieutenant was exiled because of this case! Don't you think this iron coffin is abnormal?"

"Of course it's not normal, but...you don't know," Shen Tiande put down the chess pieces, and said seriously to Xu Zun, "It was less than two years since I returned to Xinye County for retirement, and that case had already happened at that time!

"The strange thing is that this case seems to be banned, and people in Xinye County keep it secret and rarely talk about it.

"Later, when I had dinner with the officials of Wude City, I only heard some inside information, and I felt really surprised!"

Wude City is the provincial capital of Tangzhou, obviously the officials Shen Tiande refers to are all provincial officials.

"Oh?" Xu Zun was overjoyed, he didn't expect his father-in-law to know something about the case, so he hurriedly asked, "Then tell me, what was in that coffin two years ago?"

"Something?" Shen Tiande was taken aback, "Nothing?"

"What?" This time it was Xu Zun's turn to be surprised, "Is there nothing?"

"Yes," Shen Tiande was very sure, "The official who brought up this matter during the meal had witnessed the opening of the coffin with his own eyes and confirmed that there was nothing in the coffin!
"However..." he added, "He said that there is a partition inside the coffin, and there is a space under the partition, but after opening it, there is still nothing!"

"No way?"

Xu Zun was at a loss for a moment, if what Shen Tiande said was correct, then it meant that there were corpses outside the coffin back then, but there was nothing inside the coffin.

But now, there are corpses inside the coffin, but there is nothing outside the coffin.

It doesn't make sense...

"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "Where are those dead people? Who are they?"

"I don't know," Shen Tiande shook his head, "The official said they didn't know either!"

"Damn!" Xu Zun sighed, and asked again, "How did the case be handled afterwards? Where did the iron coffin go? Where did the corpse go?"

"I don't know," Shen Tiande shook his head, "By the way, Ji Ying, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Alas! The iron coffin appeared again!" Xu Zun said without hesitation, "Master Liu died in the coffin!"

"What?" Shen Tiande was shocked and asked, "Which Master Liu? Liu Zhang?"

"Yes!" Xu Zun said again, "Liu Zhang died on the lower floor, and there is an old Taoist on the upper floor!"

"Old Dao?" Shen Tiande was confused, "Is the old Dao dead too?"

Xu Zun nodded.

"Then..." Shen Tiande asked again, "What about outside? How many people died outside?"

"There are no dead people outside..."

Xu Zun told his father-in-law all about what happened today.

"So," he said frankly, "I'm worried that I'll die too, so I'm going to borrow fire from Anu!"

"If that's the case..." Shen Tiande said with concern, "You should go back to the Shen Mansion! I'll add a few more people for you. Forget it..."

This……

The old man's inadvertent words made Xu Zun feel warm in his heart, what more could a husband ask for if he had such a loving father-in-law!

"It's better not to cause trouble for you!" Xu Zun shook his head and said, "I think Huo Anu is enough! She is from the Western Regions, don't worry!"

"Oh? Don't worry?" Shen Tiande grinned, his eyes showing worry, "Last time, she almost disabled you. If I hadn't stopped you in time, you would have..."

what?
Xu Zun hurriedly searched for relevant memories, only to find what Shen Tiande said.

It turned out that in a farce of divorce a few months ago, Huo Anu was ordered by Miss Shen to beat Xu Zun violently, so that Xu Zun didn't get out of bed for a week!
No way?
Is this woman so violent?

"However..." Shen Tiande weighed it up and said, "It's not impossible to lend you Huo Anu!"

"This..." Xu Zun flinched a little as he recalled the tragedy when he was beaten violently.

"Okay!" However, Shen Tiande had already made up his mind to pay attention, "Although Huo Anu has a violent temper, she is highly skilled in martial arts, alert and cautious, and absolutely loyal and reliable! With her protecting you, I can rest assured! But, I I have to explain it to Sissy..."

Gulu, Xu Zun swallowed, with a very complicated expression.

On the one hand, he really needs a trustworthy helper;
On the one hand, Huo Anu is highly skilled in martial arts;

On the other hand, she has a hot figure and is full of exotic styles. She looks good and smells good.I don't know if something good will happen after staying together for a long time?
However, when he thought of Huo Anu's heavy iron umbrella, Xu Zun's fantasy instantly disappeared...
