When fake Qiu Yongnian was pushed to the ground, Xu Zun had already rushed out of the crowd and ran to Mr. Shen's side.
"How...how could this happen?"
Looking at Mr. Shen who collapsed on the ground, Xu Zun felt a sting in his heart.
"Dad...wuwuwu..." Shen Qian cried loudly, "just now, daddy was trying to protect me and was hit by the iron chain. It's all my fault, it's all my fault...wuwu..."
"Father, foster father..."
Xu Zun picked up Mr. Shen to check his injuries, but saw that Shen Tiande was already furious and looked like there was no way he could be saved.
"No..." Xu Zun felt like his heart was cut by a knife, and his mind went blank.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Tiande was dying, he suddenly grabbed Xu Zun's arm and pulled hard, staring at Xu Zun, as if he had something to say to Xu Zun.
"Father, foster father..." Xu Zun quickly picked up Mr. Shen, put his ear close and said, "I'm here, I'm here!"
Saying "I'm here", tears flowed down the corners of Xu Zun's eyes involuntarily.
When Shen Tiande saw Xu Zun, a trace of relief seemed to flash in his eyes. He pulled Xu Zun closer and buried his face next to Xu Zun's ear.
Then, he used his last bit of energy to say something in Xu Zun's ear, but when he saw that Xu Zun did not nod after hearing this, he suddenly became dumbfounded and his eyes were full of disbelief.
The next second, Shen Tiande's eyes were still open, but his pupils had dilated and were no longer alive.
"Yi... adoptive father..." Xu Zun came to his senses and realized that Mr. Shen was dead.
"Dad!" Shen Qian cried bitterly when she saw this, threw herself on the body and cried, "Dad... don't leave me... wuwuwu..."
Seeing that Shen Tiande was seriously injured and died, Huo Anu also knelt in front of the deceased in a daze, stupidly not knowing what to do?
"Father...Father..." Although Xu Zun's expression was dull and numb, he was sad and uncomfortable in his heart. He also knelt in front of Mr. Shen and bowed his head to Mr. Shen.
In an instant, scenes from the past flashed through Xu Zun's mind.
After the death of his father Xu Changlin, if it hadn't been for Mr. Shen to take him in, he might have been begging for food on the street.
Over the years, Mr. Shen regarded himself as his own son. He asked his husband to teach him how to read and learn, bought him an official position and a house, and even betrothed his precious daughter to him.
No matter what disaster he caused, Mr. Shen would tolerate him and never punish him severely.
Even though he came here after losing his body, his sincere family affection could not be erased. The former Xu County Lieutenant had already regarded Mr. Shen as his closest relative.
Now that yin and yang are separated, Xu Zun can't help but feel sad and burst into tears...
"Xu Zun!" At this time, Shen Qian suddenly got up, grabbed Xu Zun's shoulders and asked, "My dad... what did my dad just say to you? Tell me quickly! Tell me!"
"Mr. Shen...he..." Xu Zun hesitated a little, then said, "Mr. Shen asked me...to take good care of you!"
"Really?" Shen Qian didn't believe it, "He really just said this?"
"Yes!" Xu Zun lowered his head.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Shen Qian burst into tears and was full of resentment. She turned around and cried again, "Dad, if you hadn't protected me, nothing would have happened to you. Dad, it's all my fault...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Seeing Shen Qian crying with excessive sadness, Huo Anu had no choice but to hold back his sadness and stepped forward to comfort her.
The head catcher Zhao Yu also came to Xu Zun and offered words of comfort...
At the same time, the entire county government had calmed down. Bai Xiaolong, Lu Qing and others had been executed by the internal guards and died on the spot.
Among the comrades in the courtyard who violently resisted, some were killed, some were knocked unconscious, and some were subdued.
In the courtroom, Chen Taiji, Li Yan, Tai Min and others with messy official robes were squatting or sitting, all rubbing their heads and still feeling dizzy.
Look at the fake Qiu Yongnian again, lying on his back, but he is already motionless.
The medical officer was examining his body...
Cai Kun held in his hand the chair whose legs had been broken by the fake Qiu Yongnian, and rubbed the broken parts to inspect it carefully.
When he discovered that the chair was indeed just an ordinary chair, his eyes flashed fiercely, his body trembled, and he could not hide his anger.
"Sir... Your Excellency..." the medical officer pointed at the motionless fake Qiu Yongnian and said in a trembling voice, "The silver needle... pierced his brain, causing him to fall into coma..."
"Ah?" Cai Kun frowned, "Can he still wake up?"
"It's a humble job... I don't dare to pull it out of a humble job," the medical officer replied tremblingly, "I'm afraid... it will hurt my life."
Snapped!
Cai Kun smashed the chair to pieces and shouted loudly: "Rose, a bunch of losers!!! Ah..."
Seeing Cai Kun's rage, all the guards quickly fell to their knees.
"It's such an embarrassment to the Imperial Guard!" Cai Kun punched the public case, "Did I bring a bunch of wine bags and rice bags with me?
"More than a dozen people can't even subdue a gangster, what are you still doing alive!!?"
"Sir... Sir, please calm down... The crime of humble duty deserves ten thousand death, the crime deserves ten thousand death..." The guards knew that they had failed in their duty, so they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
call……
Cai Kun breathed heavily. Rather than convicting these guards, what he was most worried about was his own future.
The investigation of the iron coffin case was originally very successful, but he insisted on giving the fake Qiu Yongnian a showdown in court and stabbed him with a silver needle, which caused the situation to get out of control.
Cai Kun has been with the emperor for many years and is well aware of the temper of the Queen Mother. If the case is handled like this, he himself cannot escape the blame and must be criticized.
Moreover, according to the process, after finding out that the fake Qiu Yongnian was the real culprit in the iron coffin case, he should have taken him to the back hall for secret interrogation.
well!
I am also a hot-headed person. How could such an important person make such a low-level mistake?
but……
To be honest, as the leader of the Interior Guard Pavilion, Cai Kun has dealt with various gangsters for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered someone as powerful as the fake Qiu Yongnian.
This man's martial arts skills are beyond imagination, and what's even more surprising is that he hides it so deeply that people mistakenly think he is just a weak scholar.
In fact, Wei Zuoyan had already confessed before that it was the fake Qiu Yongnian who killed You Dalang with his own hands. He must not be an ordinary person to be able to kill You Dalang with one blow.
If I could have investigated earlier and raised my alert level, this accident might not have happened.
Now, the fake Qiu Yongnian is in a coma, and Mr. Shen is still implicated in the crime. If he can't find out the whole story, it will be difficult for him to go back for business.
Thinking of this, Cai Kun took out the jade pendant, walked quickly to the fake Qiu Yongnian's accomplices, raised the jade pendant and asked loudly:
"Listen to me, anyone who can tell the origin of this jade pendant will be exempted! No, they will be exempted!"
Cai Kun knew that Queen Mother Lin was most concerned about the situation of the Japanese assassin.
As long as he could find out the origin of this jade pendant, the clues would be intact, and he would be sure that he could explain it.
However, he held up the jade pendant and turned around in a circle, but none of the criminals present responded.
It can be seen from their stunned expressions that they are just low-level minions who have no idea who they are working for!
"Damn it!" Cai Kun roared in disappointment and ordered his subordinates, "Take these people down and torture them so that their lives will be worse than death!!!"
"yes!"
The guards immediately took action and began to drag the criminal away.
"Spare your life, spare your life, my lord..."
The criminals realized what was about to happen to them, and they were all so frightened that they were numb and shaking like chaff.
But no matter how loudly they begged, the guards still dragged them mercilessly into the back hall...
