Chen Taiji suddenly asked Xu Zun a question, which surprised everyone present.
The censor of criminal cases is an official assigned by the Ministry of Punishment to the local area to verify major criminal cases. 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 under the emperor's orders. He was almost equivalent to an imperial envoy. He had supervisory privileges and naturally had a higher status than the governor.
But no one would have thought that such an imperial envoy with an extraordinary status would actually know Xu Zun?
"Me?" Xu Zun was also stunned, nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am Xu Zun!"
When answering, he hurriedly retrieved his memories, but found no such person.
"Oh, he is indeed Teacher Changlin's son!" Chen Taiji actually raised his hand to Xu Zun and said sadly, "More than ten years have passed and the last time I saw you, you were still a child!"
oh……
Xu Zun figured out that Qing Dynasty knew his deceased father.
"Do you know my father?" Xu Zun asked.
"Back then, I worked as a transcriber for Mr. Chang Lin in the Ministry of Justice," Chen Taiji said. "Once, because of my busy schedule, I even helped him take care of you for a whole day! I didn't expect that we would meet here today!
How about it, I must have good eyesight, I recognized you at a glance!"
Hearing what Chen Taiji said, Xu Zun had some vague impressions in his memory. When he was a child, he did often go to the Ministry of Punishment and play with some minor officials because there was no one to look after him.
"This means that I haven't changed much, right?" Xu Zun hurriedly challenged him, and then said in a familiar manner, "So, I have to call you Uncle Chen?"
Cough cough...cough cough...
Xu Zun's shameless words made Luo Wanwan cough.
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, Chen Taiji nodded without hesitation and said, "You really have to call me Uncle Chen! Come, let me see, little Xu Zun has grown up. He is really a young talent.
Jun, what a talent!"
Cough cough...cough cough...
After hearing the compliments from the Censor, a few more people suddenly coughed.
"Sir Chen," County Sheriff Tai Min hurriedly agreed, "Xu Zun is now the Xinye County Lieutenant. He has been in office for more than a year. He is young and promising and will surely become a pillar in the future!"
Cough cough cough... cough cough cough...
Hearing this, almost everyone in the county government choked.
Everyone is talking in their hearts, after you know Xu Zun's "heroic deeds", will you still say that he is young and promising, a young talent?
"Lord Chen doesn't know yet," Li Yan, the governor, echoed, "that Xu County Lieutenant is about to become the son-in-law of Shen Tiande and Shilang Shen!"
"Oh, Mr. Shen's son-in-law? That's great!" Chen Taiji praised Xu Zun, "My dear nephew, Uncle Chen would like to congratulate you first!"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!" Xu Zun quickly bowed.
At this moment, everyone in the Yamen and others were all dumbfounded. No one expected that such a serious occasion would turn into a large-scale family recognition scene!
Looking at this posture, are they going to give out red envelopes later?
"Oh..." Noticing the changes in everyone, Chen Taiji finally realized that he had lost his temper, and then said to Xu Zun, "Well, let's do some business today. After the business is done, our uncle and nephew can have a good talk.
Reminiscing about old times!”
"good!"
Xu Zun bowed again. He never expected that the censor who came from above would be his father's student.
He originally thought that this time the inspection would be as unreasonable and unwilling to listen to explanations as last time, so he had made some preparations for this. Now it seemed that the situation was not as serious as expected.
After entering the county government office, everyone was seated separately. Chen Taiji was on the left, Li Yan was on the right, and the county magistrate Taimin could only sit on the chair on the side.
Governor Li did not hesitate, and immediately told everyone his intention, saying that the second occurrence of the iron coffin case had attracted the attention of the Holy One, so this time it was necessary to investigate clearly, otherwise the Holy wrath would be incurred, and everyone knew what the consequences would be. !
Li Jishi's words were resounding and finally brought everyone back to the tense state of the iron coffin case.
Next, according to the process, the first thing is to tell Chen Yushi the story of the Iron Coffin case, as well as 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, County Lieutenant Xu Zun!
Because of this, Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan did not hesitate to go to the Shen Mansion to plead for mercy today, and then Shen Tiande released Xu Zun.
However, no one knows what Xu Zun went through during the three days when he was escorted back to Shen Mansion!
How exactly did Shen Tiande and Miss Shen punish Xu Zun? Should he be kicked out of the house? Will the wedding three months later come to nothing? Has Xu Zun's career as a county captain come to an end? These are still unsolved mysteries.
Like the reactions of the police officers, Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan were also quite surprised when they saw Xu Zun walking out of Shen's Mansion intact.
After all, the last time it was just a break-up incident, Xu Zun was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for a week.
However, the two adults had no time to study the situation in detail, so they quickly helped Xu Zun prepare the report manuscript.
After all, they are facing imperial envoys and governors. If they say anything inappropriate and are caught by others, they will be very passive.
However, the facts are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Xu Zun and Chen Yushi would actually become relatives, which actually made Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan relax a little.
Xu Zun performed well today and quickly explained the details of the entire case clearly.
Moreover, when reporting on the investigation, he also deliberately exaggerated how they devoted themselves to the investigation work without sleep or food, which was so exciting that Chen Yushi nodded frequently.
Seeing that the results were good, Qiu Yongnian and Luo Wanwan looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, just after he breathed a sigh of relief, something went wrong!
When Xu Zun told about the discovery of a strange jade pendant in the Qijiawu Immortality Temple, in order to enhance the effect, the head catcher Zhao Yu presented the jade pendant together and handed it to all 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 surprised!
He took a closer look at the jade pendant again, and suddenly he exclaimed and stood up!
"ah!!?"
The exclamation made everyone confused for a moment. No one understood what happened to Yu Shi Chen?
"This...this, this...how is this possible?"
Holding the jade pendant, Chen Taiji felt dizzy and quickly supported the table with his hands.
"Master Chen..." Li Yan asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Is there any mystery behind this jade pendant?"
"Let me ask you!" Chen Taiji asked excitedly to Xu Zun and others, "Where is the body of that Taoist priest now!!?"
"Your Majesty," Xu Zun replied, "it is being stored in Yizhuang! Along with it is Master Liu's body and the iron coffin!"
"Quick!" Chen Taiji said, trembling all over, "Take me to see quickly, something bad is going to happen now..."
