Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 278 Required Questions

Three urgent cases?
Xu Zun lowered his head and frowned, thinking quickly, but he could only think of two things after racking his brains.

"This first thing, you and I both know each other," said the Empress Dowager Lin quietly, "Gong Lushan is not the real Taoist Heavenly Master. We are announcing it to the world now, just to stabilize people's hearts."

"Yes..." Xu Zun listened carefully, not daring to raise his head.

"Taking a step back, even if Li Ren is really the Celestial Master of Xuanmen, there are still Marquis of Changping, Lu Jinlong, and Taoist Qinglan still at large.

"In the future, they may cause some troubles!"

"Yes," Xu Zun quickly agreed, "I will do my best to find out."

"The second thing," said Queen Mother Lin after a pause, "is the mystery of the iron coffin!"

Although Xu Zun already knew about the second matter, his heart still trembled uncontrollably.

"By now, you already know what is placed in the iron coffin!" Queen Mother Lin said, "Although...the one that was taken away was only a corpse, but that corpse...is really suspicious."

"Queen Mother," Xu Zun couldn't help asking, "the iron coffin case was kept secret, and from the beginning to the end, I got very little information.

"I at least want to know whether the corpse has been kept in the coffin? He was really..."

As a result, before Xu Zun finished speaking, he saw that the Queen Mother had raised her arm, signaling for herself to shut up.

Ok……

Xu Zun had no choice but to shut up quickly.

"I said before," said the Queen Mother, "after all, the iron coffin case has been committed for more than two years, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being.

"Wait until you are free, then make plans!"

"Yes!"

Although Xu Zun was a hundred times reluctant, he could only say yes to his promise.

He knew in his heart that the queen mother would not confess to him before she officially took over the iron coffin case.

Because of this, Xu Zun has also predicted that there are some unspeakable royal secrets behind the iron coffin case.

He had paid attention to the news of Qiu Dingtian, the former national teacher, and had already discovered an intriguing little detail.

That is, although Qiu Dingtian defected, none of Qiu Dingtian's disciples, relatives and friends were implicated!
One must know that Qiu Dingtian has been the master of the Daxuan Kingdom for decades, and has countless disciples, all over the court, many of them have held important positions and have a high status.

If Qiu Dingtian really fled west because of the rebellion, then there is no reason for his disciples not to be implicated.

Therefore, Xu Zun concluded that there must be something hidden in it, nine times out of ten, that Qiu Dingtian didn't defect at all, but got some secret information about the royal family or the court.

Perhaps he had to escape because he was hunted down.

But... what kind of secret information would cause this old national teacher to defect in embarrassment?

Xu Zun thought a lot, but the Empress Dowager obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she immediately asked Xu Zun:
"Xu Aiqing, have you received information about this third urgent case?"

"Ah?" Xu Zun shook his head, telling the truth, "I really don't know, I hope the Queen Mother will tell me!"

"Okay, make it clear..."

Empress Dowager Lin winked at the eunuchs around her, and everyone retreated knowingly.

In the entire inner hall, only the Empress Dowager in the curtain and Xu Zun outside the curtain remained.

Just like the flower garden, there is a layer of veil in the middle, but Xu Zun can vaguely feel that he is getting closer and closer to this Queen Mother Lin who covers the sky with one hand and overwhelms the world.

"The third thing comes from the East Palace!"

A word from Queen Mother Lin brought Xu Zun's thoughts back to reality.

what! ?

East Palace?

Xu Zun was very surprised, the prince lived in the East Palace, could this third incident have something to do with the prince?

but……

Xu Zun quickly retrieved his memory, and quickly searched for some information related to the prince.

Today's Emperor Daxuan, Li Ao, already had a son when he was only 16 years old, and he is the current Crown Prince Li Xun.

Li Xun is 19 years old this year. After Li Ao became the emperor, he, the only grandson of the emperor, also lived in the East Palace and became the Daxuan Prince.

However, the crown prince was not comfortable, even fearful.

I don't know whether it was framed by others or because he was young and arrogant, but once he slipped his tongue after drinking and even mentioned a poem alluding to the Queen Mother's monopoly.

When the queen mother found out, she was furious and wanted to abolish the prince, but thanks to the emperor's bitter advice, she was able to keep the prince's status.

Under the panic, someone gave the prince an idea. It just happened that the Daxuan envoys were going to the ten countries in the East China Sea, and they needed a person with royal status to lead the team to show respect.

In order to keep his status, Prince Li Xun took the initiative to invite Ying, willing to lead a mission to the ten countries in the East China Sea to complete this visit and exchange mission.

Therefore, as early as a few months ago, Prince Li Xun had gone to the East China Sea by boat with the envoys, and he was not in the holy capital at the moment.

And Shen Xingran, Shen Tiande's eldest son, was also in the envoy team, so he missed Shen Tiande's funeral.

"East Palace..." Xu Zun thought about it, and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you in the Holy Capital?"

"Yes," the Empress Dowager's expression suddenly became serious, "I have received a report long before the chaos in the holy capital, the prince...something happened!"

"what!!?"

Xu Zun thumped in his heart, and said in his heart, this is really fate!I just solved the Heavenly Tribulation incident, why did something big happen again?
"Prince..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "What happened to His Royal Highness?"

"Someone came to report," the Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "Prince Li Xun and his party were ambushed in a certain country in the East China Sea, causing the regiment to collapse, and the whereabouts of the prince are unknown!"

"Ah?" Xu Zun was shocked, "The ten countries in the East China Sea, which country did the incident happen?"

"Unknown," the Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed, "It is said that some members of the envoys escaped by chance and are on their way back to Daxuan."

"This……"

Xu Zun suddenly understood why the Empress Dowager put this matter at the end.

This is not a multiple-choice question at all, but a must-answer question!

Obviously, the queen mother is going to send herself to the East China Sea!
No wonder, she said that the establishment of the Daxuan Ti Xingfu is not in a hurry, but why not, do I have to go across the ocean again before my ass is hot?

Tut tut...

Xu Zun felt this emotion in his heart, he was punished by Tangzhou, but in the end he didn't even enter Wude City.

Now that he has finally settled down in the holy capital, he is going to go out again...

Donghai, Donghai...

Xu Zun filled his brain with information, wondering if there is an open island country in the depths of the East China Sea in Daxuan?
Before, there were no Japanese assassins...

"Xu Zun," the queen mother understood Xu Zun's reluctance, and immediately said, "Xun'er is the only blood of my Daxuan royal family, there is no room for loss!
"Besides, if you dare to openly attack our Daxuan Mission, I'm afraid the person who comes is not good, and there may be another conspiracy behind it.

"So," the queen mother said majestically, "Xu Aiqing, your first mission as Daxuan's executioner is to find the crown prince and find out about the attack!"

"Yes!"

Xu Zun didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately agreed.

"You don't have to worry too much," said the queen mother, "I have ordered the ship department to make preparations, and I will arrange for the soldiers with Cai Kun. As for your entourage, it is up to you to decide!"

"Yes!"

Xu Zun promised that there were still many questions in his mind, but he couldn't think of what to ask for a while.

"By the way," the Empress Dowager looked around, then suddenly stood up and came to Xu Zun, and said in a very low voice, "There is one more thing you need to know, but you must remember that you can't tell anyone until you die. "

"Ah?" Xu Zun was so depressed that he was afraid of hearing such words.

However, in this position, he can't plug his ears, can he?
"After the Heavenly Tribulation incident, I asked Ao'er," the Queen Mother said in a small but cautious manner, "He only told one person about the secret chamber of the Wanfu Palace, and that person...is Prince Li Xun..."
