Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 228 Glory is limited
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Xu Zun woke up like a dream, and only then realized that the woman in the curtain was the supreme controller of the Daxuan Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager spoke her mind, since she said what she just said, it is impossible to take it back.

Xu Zun only felt that he was cornered all at once.

However, he seemed to have an omen in his heart, and he was not too surprised.

However, he was a little puzzled.

Because the Empress Dowager Lin has now ascended to the top of Daxuan and has power over the world, so why is she so anxious to let herself catch the rebellious party of Xuanmen?
Could it be... there is something hidden in it?
Seeing that Xu Zun didn't react as expected, the queen mother was a little curious, and stood up under the curtain.

She thought that Xu Zun would kowtow to the ground in fright, panic, or apply for grace, and bargain with herself, but Xu Zun just stood there and frowned.

Seeing the queen mother get up, Xu Zun quickly lowered his head, but still didn't make a sound.

"Why?" asked the queen mother, "do you agree, or do you not?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager," Xu Zun said, "I just ask you to find out if you can find out, and you can die if you die."

"Oh?"

The Empress Dowager was obviously interested in Xu Zun, she wanted to ask, but she seemed to understand what Xu Zun meant after thinking about it.

"You don't know..." The queen mother said quietly in the curtain, "I promised Ao'er, and I will return him innocent in seven days!"

Ok……

what! ! ?
Xu Zun reacted for three seconds, and his body trembled violently.

The Ao'er mentioned by the Queen Mother should be the current emperor——Li Ao!
Restore his innocence...

Is it...

"After all, he is my own flesh and blood, and he will be in charge of this world after all!"

When speaking, although the Queen Mother remained calm, Xu Zun could still feel that she had great emotional ups and downs.

It seems that Xu Zun's previous understanding of this powerful queen mother was all one-sided.

"Once the assassination case comes out, Daxuan is in danger," the queen mother came to the curtain and said through the curtain, "My mother and son had no choice but to use such a bitter trick!

"But do you know," the queen mother said again, "the four princes who were assassinated had more than enough prestige but not enough strength, and those who are really powerful are still alive!
"Xu Zun, do you understand what I mean?"

call……

Xu Zun was drenched in cold sweat, quickly bowed and said:

"I...understood!"

The queen mother's meaning is not difficult to understand. Before Xu Zun only knew that two princes were assassinated and died, now it seems that two more have been added.

It's just that these four princes only have prestige and no strength.

However, those who were really powerful and could threaten the royal authority did not die in this assassination.

The queen mother is undoubtedly worried that those powerful princes will make changes.

In other words, the Empress Dowager's regime is not stable and is still in a precarious and difficult time.

Although using the emperor as a scapegoat can temporarily alleviate the crisis in the holy capital, it cannot be done once and for all.

Therefore, only by catching the Xuanmen rebellious party as soon as possible and making their crimes known to the world can we treat the symptoms and the root cause, and truly resolve the crisis.

only……

Xu Zun couldn't understand why he had to choose me for such an important task?
He wanted to ask, but felt abrupt, so he had to pretend to be swearing and said:
"I would like to obey Yi's decree, I will do my best, and I will never hesitate to die!"

"Xu Zun, you are a smart person," the queen mother finally showed a satisfied expression, nodded and said, "It is not a day's cold to freeze three feet, and the Taoist rebellious party can make such a big move under the eyes of the inner guard. There is a certain powerful force behind it.”

"Yes……"

Xu Zun was secretly startled, it seems that the Queen Mother had already thought of this.

"So," said the Queen Mother, "I feel relieved to use an outsider. Besides...you have performed well before, so you are naturally the best person to investigate this case!"

"Thank you for your love, Empress Dowager," Xu Zun clasped his fists again and said, "I have received the grace of the Lord, and I must be... definitely..."

Xu Zun originally wanted to say "Will never die", but remembering what he said earlier, he couldn't think of words in his desperation, so he came up with a sentence:
"The minister must risk his life! Oh...isn't it... must be... must be done!!?"

"The reason why you have been given so many titles is to make it easier for you to act in the Neiwei Mansion, the Three Law Departments, and the God Detective Department." The queen mother said again, "I have passed on these departments to let them cooperate with your actions. If there is any disobedience, it will be punished as a rebellion!"

After finishing speaking, she lightly raised her jade hand, pointed at the flower stand in front of Xu Zun and said:
"My palace has prepared an edict for you, and stated my will in the edict. If you encounter obstacles, just present it to me."

Xu Zun quickly took the imperial edict on the flower stand with both hands, but seeing that the bottom of the edict was covered with a big black jade seal, it showed that this was a very important royal imperial edict.

Holding this heavy imperial edict, Xu Zun felt very complicated.

Originally, this was an honor that was enough to honor the ancestors.With it, the entire courtiers of Daxuan have to be afraid of themselves.

However, before this honor, there must be a deadline!
Seven days!

If I didn't find anything after seven days, then this glory is my reflection, and I can only recall it after death.

"Also," the queen mother pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you still want to investigate someone, just tell Manager Lin."

"Yes!" Xu Zun hurriedly agreed.

"Okay," the Empress Dowager waved her jade hand, "Go down! I am looking forward to your good news!"

"Yes!" Xu Zun saluted again, and then retreated with heavy steps.

When he walked through the flower garden full of flowers, he only felt that the flowers were too coquettish and dazzling. When he came back to his senses, he found that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

seven days...

seven days...

Xu Zun murmured in his heart, feeling that the seven-day deadline was like some kind of fate.

From now on, I will enter the countdown mode!

Seeing Xu Zun coming out, Lin Chaofeng immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? What arrangements does the Empress Dowager have for you?"

Xu Zun hurriedly handed the edict to Lin Chaofeng, and Lin Chaofeng's face changed suddenly after reading it.

The Queen Mother's edict seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it was actually slapping him.

Lin Chaofeng has been in charge of the internal guards for many years, now except for such a large-scale assassination incident, he didn't investigate it, which is naturally unreasonable.

Now, the Empress Dowager hastily appointed Xu Zun as a special investigation envoy, obviously full of disappointment with the inner guards he led.

Therefore, Lin Chaofeng looked at Xu Zun with thorns in his eyes.

But... the matter has come to this point, how dare he disobey orders, immediately closed the imperial edict, and asked Xu Zun:
"So... where are you going to start? Are you still investigating the assassination case?"

"My lord," Xu Zun saw Lin Chaofeng's strangeness, and immediately said with clasped fists, "A small county captain who is a low-ranking officer is panicking now that he is ordered in danger! I hope you will cultivate him a lot in the future!"

"Panicked... what?" Lin Chaofeng obviously couldn't understand.

"If the lowly job is lucky, you can really find traces of the Taoist rebels, please rest assured, it is definitely all thanks to you!"

Xu Zun knew that he had to express his position now, and if he wanted to investigate the case smoothly, he had to get the support of the head of the inner guard.

Otherwise, everything can only be zero.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Zun's flattery, Lin Chaofeng calmed down a little and said:

"It is very clear in the imperial edict that those who dare not cooperate are equivalent to resisting the edict. Xu Zun, how are you going to investigate, have you thought about it?"
