Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 36

Oh?
Chen Taiji suddenly asked Xu Zun, which surprised everyone present.

Let me mention the censor of criminal cases, who is an official appointed by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to investigate major criminal cases in the local area. Strictly speaking, although he is also a fourth-rank official, he is slightly lower than the governor.

However, Chen Taiji was different from ordinary censors, he came to investigate the case according to the emperor's oral order, almost equivalent to an imperial envoy, with supervisory privileges, naturally he had a higher status than the censor.

But no one would have thought that such an imperial envoy with such a special status would know Xu Zun?

"Me?" Xu Zun was also taken aback, nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am Xu Zun!"

When answering, he hurriedly retrieved his memory, but found no such person.

"Oh, it really is Teacher Changlin's son!" Chen Taiji cupped his hands at Xu Zun, and said sadly, "Ten years later, the last time I saw you, you were still a child!"

Oh……

Xu Zun figured it out, the person who had feelings knew his deceased father.

"You knew your late father?" Xu Zun asked.

"Back then, I worked as a copyist for Teacher Changlin in the Ministry of Criminal Justice," Chen Taiji said, "One time, I helped him take care of you for a whole day due to busy work! Unexpectedly, we will meet from here today! How about it, I have good eyesight, and I recognized you at a glance!"

Hearing what Chen Taiji said, Xu Zun vaguely recalled that when he was a child, because he was unattended, he often went to the Ministry of Punishment to play with some minor officials.

"This means that I haven't changed much, right?" Xu Zun hastily picked up the quarrel, and then said familiarly, "So, I have to call you Uncle Chen?"

cough...cough...cough...

Xu Zun's unscrupulous words made Luo Wanwan cough a lot.

"Yes!" Who knows, Chen Taiji nodded without hesitation and said, "You really have to call me Uncle Chen! Come on, let me see, the little Xu Zun back then has grown up, he is really a young talent Jun, what a talent!"

cough...cough...cough...

Hearing Lord Yushi's praise, suddenly there were a few more people with dry coughs.

"Master Chen," Tai Min, the governor of the county, hurriedly echoed, "Xu Zun is now Xinye County Captain, and has been in office for more than a year. He is young and promising, and he will become a pillar in the future!"

Cough cough cough... cough cough cough...

Hearing this, almost the entire county government was choked.

Everyone is talking in their hearts, after you know Xu Zun's "heroic deeds", will you still say that he is young, promising, and talented?
"Your Excellency Chen doesn't know yet," At this time, Li Yan, the governor, also echoed, "Lieutenant Xu County will soon become the son-in-law of Shen Tiande and Shen Shilang!"

"Hey, old Shen's son-in-law? That's really great!" Chen Taiji praised Xu Zun, "Nephew, Uncle Chen congratulates you first!"

"Thank you Uncle Chen!" Xu Zun hurriedly bowed.

At this moment, the Yamen and other people were all dumbfounded. No one expected that such a serious occasion would turn into a large-scale confession scene!

Looking at this posture, are we going to give out red envelopes later?

"Oh..." Noticing the changes in the crowd, Chen Taiji finally realized that he had lost his composure, so he said to Xu Zun, "How about this, let's do business first, and when the business is over, we, the uncle and nephew, will talk about it." Reminisce!"

"it is good!"

Xu Zun bowed again, and he never expected that the above-mentioned censor was actually his father's student.

He originally thought that this inspection would be as unreasonable as last time and would not listen to explanations, so he made some preparations for this. Now it seems that the situation is not as serious as expected.

After entering the county government office, everyone was divided into guests and hosts. Chen Taiji was on the left, Li Yan was on the right, and Tai Min, the county guard, could only sit on the side chair.

Inspector Li didn't talk too much, and immediately explained his intentions to everyone, saying that the iron coffin case had already attracted the attention of the Holy Majesty, so he had to investigate clearly this time, otherwise, everyone would know the consequences !
Inspector Li's words were resounding, and finally brought everyone back to the tense state of the unsolved case in the iron coffin.

Next, according to the process, the first thing to do is to tell Chen Yushi the history of the iron coffin case, the current progress of the case and the clues found.

According to the rules, the person who tells the story of the case must be the main person in charge, that is, the county captain Xu Zun!
Because of this, Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan didn't hesitate to go to Shen's mansion to plead for mercy today, which made Shen Tiande release Xu Zun.

However, no one knows what exactly Xu Zun experienced during the three days when he was escorted back to the Shen Mansion!
How did Shen Tiande and Miss Shen punish Xu Zun?Will it be swept away, and will the wedding three months later come to naught?Is Xu Zun's county lieutenant career coming to an end?These are still unsolved mysteries.

Similar to the reactions of the police officers, Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan were quite surprised when they saw Xu Zun walk out of the Shen residence intact.

After all, the last time it was just a divorce incident, Xu Zun was beaten until he didn't get out of bed for a week.

However, the two adults had no time to study the situation in detail, so they hurriedly helped Xu Zun prepare the report.

After all, they were facing imperial envoys and governors. If they said something inappropriate and were caught by others, they would be very passive.

However, the facts are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Xu Zun and Chen Yushi had become relatives, which actually made Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan a little more relaxed.

Xu Zun played well today, and quickly explained the details of the whole case clearly.

Moreover, when reporting the investigation situation, he also deliberately exaggerated how they devoted themselves to the investigation work without sleeping and eating. The words were so hype that Chen Yushi nodded frequently.

Seeing that the effect was good, Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan looked at each other, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, just a sigh of relief, something went wrong!

When Xu Zun told about the discovery of a strange jade pendant in the Qijiawu Longevity Temple, in order to improve the effect, Zhao Yu, the head catcher, presented the jade pendant together and handed it to the adults for inspection.

The governor looked at it to no avail, and the governor shook his head after looking at it, but when the jade pendant was handed over to Chen Taiji, Chen Taiji was suddenly taken aback!
He took a closer look at the jade pendant again, and with an exclamation, he stood up abruptly!

"what!!?"

An exclamation made everyone confused for a moment, no one understood what happened to Chen Yushi?

"This... this, this... how is it possible?"

Holding the jade pendant, Chen Taiji felt dizzy for a while, and quickly supported the table with his hands.

"Master Chen..." Li Yan asked hastily, "What's wrong with you? What's the mystery of this jade pendant?"

"I ask you!" Chen Taiji excitedly asked Xu Zun and others, "Where is that Taoist's body now!!?"

"My lord," Xu Zun replied, "It's stored in Yizhuang! Together with Master Liu's body and the iron coffin!"

"Quick!" Chen Taiji said tremblingly, "Take me to see quickly, this time, something bad will happen..."
