The funeral shed made of wood and bamboo poles had been completely blown up. The coffin was blown sideways to the ground, and half of the body inside fell out.
Then look at the many internal guards wailing in pain in the ruins. It is a tragic and messy sight.
"Hou Zhen, Li Xing!"
Zhao Yu was so anxious that he hurried over to search and quickly found Hou Zhen among the wreckage.
But they saw that half of Hou Zhen's face had been injured by the explosion, the entire left side of his body was covered in a mixture of blood and dust, and he himself had been knocked unconscious by the explosion.
"this……"
Xu Zun saw a bloody man lying next to Hou Zhen. It was Li Ren, the Duke of Mount Lu.
But Li Ren was motionless and seemed to have no vital signs.
However, when Xu Zun went to check his breathing, he unexpectedly discovered that Li Ren was still breathing.
alive...still alive...
Xu Zun wanted to call out, but when he glanced around, he immediately sensed the danger, so he shook his head regretfully, indicating that Li Ren was dead.
"This... this..." Cai Kun was dumbfounded on the spot and muttered, "This is impossible? This place has been searched so many times. Where did the explosives come from?"
"Sir..." At this time, a guard who had been guarding outside the tomb came forward to report, "When the guards brought the suspect out just now, a box containing the shroud suddenly exploded!
"Right..." He pointed to the place where the coffin was originally placed, "It was pressed under this coffin. There was no sign before, and it exploded very suddenly!"
"Hurry...save people..." Cai Kun looked at the guards moaning in pain and quickly ordered people to go to the rescue.
At this time, Xu Zun and Zhao Yu had already found Li Xing. Perhaps Li Xing was far away from the explosion point. He only had a scratch on his scalp and was not seriously injured.
"Sir, it's exploded, it's exploded!" Li Xing pointed at the coffin and said, "There's explosives there!"
"Li Xing..." Xu Zun looked at the position of the coffin and asked, "Who was escorting Li Ren just now?"
"It was Hou Zhen and another inner guard," Li Xing said. "I was in front and didn't notice anything."
"No way?" Zhao Yu frowned, "The dynamite needs to be ignited. Didn't you hear any abnormal noise?"
"No," Li Xing clarified, "there were no signs before!"
"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "Do you still remember who has been close to the explosion point?"
"This..." Li Xing pointed to someone else, "We all came up from below. If you want to know who has been near there, you have to ask the guards above..."
"Quickly..." At this moment, Cai Kun thought of something and hurriedly ordered his men, "Hurry and see Li Ren's family members and take them out first, before they get bombed again!
"By the way, there's also...and that son-in-law!"
"Yes!" A team of internal guards immediately rushed to the front hall.
"Sir...what's going on?"
Ashuzai suddenly came closer. He had been responsible for guarding Li Ren's son-in-law because he was injured. At this time, he heard the explosion and rushed over. He was stunned on the spot.
"Ah? Lao Hou..." As Xiuzai hurriedly ran to Hou Zhen to check.
"Sir," Zhao Yu had run out of ideas and asked Xu Zun, "What should we do? Is it...that among our people, there is..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zun immediately held Zhao Yu down and told him not to talk nonsense.
Xu Zun looked at Cai Kun and observed Cai Kun's subtle expression.
However, Cai Kun was so confused that he even forgot to see whether Li Ren was alive or dead.
"Master Cai..." At this time, Xu Zun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reminded Cai Kun, "Hurry up and see if Bi Sheng is okay!"
"Ah?" Hearing this, Cai Kun was startled again, and then he quickly sent someone to check...
…
Half an hour later, all the inner guards who were injured in the explosion were sent back to the inner guard mansion for treatment.
Others escorted Li Ren's family members and servants and also went to the Inner Guards Mansion for trial.
The case was serious, and the internal security manpower was severely insufficient, but Cai Kun still insisted on not asking the Sanfa Division or the Detective Division to help.
Hou Zhen was seriously injured, but his life was not injured.
Fortunately, all the internal guards who were bombed at the scene only suffered varying degrees of injuries, and no one lost their lives.
It seems that the power of the explosive is not as powerful as imagined.
As for Li Ren, currently only Xu Zun and Zhao Yu know that Li Ren is not dead. Cai Kun and others only think that Li Ren is the only victim of the explosion.
At this moment, Zhao Yu covered Li Ren with a white cloth and prepared to carry him away with As Xiuzai later.
"Fortunately..." Zhao Yu said fearfully, "There are not many explosives, and they are placed outside. Otherwise...we wouldn't be able to get out!"
Xu Zun didn't say anything, but was thinking about something seriously.
In Xu Zun's opinion, there was no one else in the tomb at that time, so the explosives must have been placed by the inner guards, or detonated by the inner guards.
However, I don’t know when it was placed and how it was detonated.
More importantly, who is this mole?
Hou Zhen seems to be able to rule out suspicion because he is escorting Li Ren and it is impossible to detonate explosives while escorting criminals.
So... who is this person?
Why did he want to blow up Li Ren?
It stands to reason that with Li Ren's arrest, even if there are still remaining members of the party who have not been exposed, they should be thinking about how to evacuate, right?
But why do you have to take the risk of blowing up Li Ren?
Why?
Xu Zun was very curious because he was keenly aware that the person who set off the explosives might not be the remaining members of the Xuanmen Party, but someone else!
Because the explosion happened in an extremely hasty manner, even as if it was an impromptu attack. But if it was an impromptu attack, where would the explosives come from?
call……
The more Xu Zun thought about it, the colder his back felt, as if he had fallen into a bottomless quagmire.
"Sir..." Zhao Yu pointed to the entrance under the coffin and asked, "Should we go down to check now?"
check……
Or not to check?
By now, Xu Zun had already felt a great sense of crisis.
It stands to reason that there are many rooms in the underground hall just now, and Li Ren's evidence may be stored there.
However, Xu Zun is no longer in the mood now.
He remembered what Li Ren had said to him before. Once he knew his hatred, his death might not be far away!
"You are still too young to understand the dangers of this court..."
Suddenly, many pictures flashed through Xu Zun's mind:
Bi Sheng's arrest...
Queen Mother Lin walked out of the secret room of the main hall of Wanfu Palace...
Lin Chaofeng ordered a mass killing...
And...in the flower garden, I once had a face-to-face meeting with Qian Qifeng, the prime minister of the dynasty. The look in Qian Qifeng's eyes seemed wrong...
Later, there are all the things Qi Xiang'er said, and Li Ren's insistence on claiming that he is Xuanmen Tianzun...
All of these seem to have some hidden connection.
Now, with Li Ren being bombed to death, will everything disappear?
"My lord, my lord..." Seeing that Xu Zun was silent, Zhao Yu urged, "If you are worried, then let me go down and take a look!"
"No need!" Xu Zun suddenly retracted his thoughts, feeling a heavy sense of relief in his heart, and immediately said to Zhao Yu, "None of this matters anymore! Let's... let's go back first..."
