One hour later...

Xinye County Government.

Xu Zun was detained in a class room in the county government. His hands and feet were handcuffed by iron chains, and the iron chains were fixed to the ground. There were four inner guards holding swords beside him.

Xu Zun sat on the stool in the middle, his eyes closed slightly, thinking seriously.

What a terrible series of plans!

Without that letter of complaint, Cai Kun would not have found You Dalang's deposit.

If you cannot find the deposit, you will not find the secret passage, and you will find the iron coffin production site hidden underground!

Think about it again...

Without that jade pendant, Chen Taiji would not have linked the iron coffin with the assassin who assassined Empress Dowager Lin.

Without the assassin, Cai Kun would not have identified his identity, and the situation would not have escalated to an uncontrollable level.

Think about it again...

If the iron coffin was not linked to the assassin, even if the iron coffin was found in Xu Zun's house, he would not have involved Mr. Shen!

so……

What a poisonous strategy!!!

Xu Zun now finally understood what the enemy’s true purpose was!

Unexpectedly, the nonsense that had been with Miss Shen at the beginning has now become a reality. The unknown enemy wanted to use Xu Zun's hand to get rid of Shen Tiande!

You Dalang killed his wife, reappeared the iron coffin, jade pendant, assassin, and secret letters revealed that all of this is part of this fine plan!

sharp!

It's really amazing!

The opponent's cleverness, the opponent's meticulousness, and the opponent's control were all like an overwhelming dimensional reduction strike, which left Xu Zun with no power to resist and could only admit defeat and wait for death!

However……

Xu Zun just didn't believe in this evil. After some careful thinking, he did not give up on himself.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of You Dalang's deposit and the appearance of the iron coffin in the secret room that he had never understood before!

He felt more and more that he should have a chance!

Bang!

The door was pushed open, and Cai Kun entered with his head and sat upright in front of Xu Zun.

"How is it, Xu County Magistrate?" Cai Kun asked, "Have you thought about it? Your father and father-in-law are both from the Ministry of Justice. You should know, as a criminal, how different is the difference between early confession and late confession?"

"I've thought about it!" Xu Zun said, "I will tell you everything I know, but I have a condition!

"Before I explain, I want to meet Mr. Chen, and I will meet alone!"

"oh?"

Cai Kun looked at Xu Zun with playful eyes, but he didn't say anything for a long time, as if he was thinking about Xu Zun's purpose.

"You don't want to waste time either," said Xu Zun. "After meeting, I promise you will get your satisfactory answer!"

“…”

Cai Kun pondered for a moment before whispering a few words to the guard behind him.

After the guard left, Cai Kun sat upright in front of Xu Zun and looked at him carefully.

Xu Zun didn't say anything, waiting quietly, his face calmly and he could not see any emotional fluctuations.

At noon in winter, it is surprisingly quiet, both inside and outside the house!

I can't hear the rustling of the wind blowing the branches, nor can I hear the chirping of birds. Time seems to be still, especially solemn!

I don’t know how long it took, but the rapid and heavy footsteps finally rang out from outside the door, from far to near.

Just listening to these heavy steps, Xu Zun had already judged that the person who came was his father-in-law and father-in-law!

For some reason, as the footsteps approached, Xu Zun's heart also became heavier.

"Xu Zun," Cai Kun stood up and said coldly, "I have met your conditions, and I hope you will not disappoint me!"

After saying that, he turned around and went out, and happened to meet Chen Tiande who was about to come in at the door.

Unexpectedly, Cai Kun actually bowed his hand and bowed to Chen Tiande, shouting "Mr. Chen" before leaving quickly.

The guards also followed Cai Kun and went outside the house.

"Ji Ying!" As soon as Chen Tiande came in, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on?"

Xu Zun saw that his father-in-law was wearing heavy shackles, even worse than himself!

"Entertainment Father!" Xu Zun felt uncomfortable. He swallowed it again if he was ready.

Squeak...

The door closed from outside, and Cai Kun indeed fulfilled his promise and allowed Xu Zun and Shen Tiande to talk alone.

However, Xu Zun knew in his heart that the doors and windows of this room were very thin, and even if they were closed, they would not have much effect.

"Now... how is the Chen Mansion?" Xu Zun asked.

"Everything was arrested!" Chen Tiande said excitedly, "Why did it happen like this? Tell me quickly if something big happened? Otherwise, they would not dare to touch me!"

"Entertainment Father," Xu Zun pondered for a few seconds before he asked, "Can you tell me what does this iron coffin have to do with you?"

"What?" Chen Tiande was stunned and asked, "What do you mean? What can I have to do with the iron coffin? What are you talking about?"

"I..." Xu Zun lowered his voice and corrected, "I didn't say this time!"

"Not this time, that's...oh?"

Chen Tiande thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized what Xu Zun meant, and his face sank.

"Entertainment Father," Xu Zun said again, "If you don't tell me the truth back then, I'm afraid I can't save our Shen family!"

"Ji Ying!" Chen Tiande stared at Xu Zun and said, "It's not easy to be a knife! I really didn't expect that you actually doubt me?"

"I……"

"Needless to say!" Chen Tiande said proudly, "Don't you know it yourself? When the iron coffin case happened two years ago, we were still in the capital!

"Am I confused or you confused?" He scolded loudly, "Let me tell you that even if our Shen family is killed, we don't care about your business, and we don't need you to save it! Humph!"

"Entertainment Father, Entertainment Father..."

Xu Zun wanted to explain, but the stubborn Chen Tiande turned around and kicked open the door and walked out without looking back!

Looking at the old man's slightly hunched figure, Xu Zun suddenly felt sad as if he was stolen.

good……

He was indeed shaken!

Because, his house was indeed purchased for him by Chen Tiande!

Because Chen Tiande was the former Minister of Justice, and the relationship between the Ministry of Justice and Empress Dowager Lin was very sensitive.

Also, he vaguely remembered that when the iron coffin case occurred two years ago, Mr. Chen seemed to be a little abnormal...

These reasons have to make Xu Zun doubt this person he respects the most for the first time.

However, when he watched the old man leave disappointedly, he regretted it!

He even found that he had shed tears inadvertently!

It seems that even though I have traveled through time, my familiar emotions have long been deeply rooted, which makes him feel the same.

"Vice Xu!" At this time, Cai Kun's cold voice came from outside the door, "How is it? Our deal has been reached. Now, can we say it?"

Seeing Cai Kun come in, Xu Zun hurriedly wiped away his tears and calmed his mind.

"Okay!" Xu Zun nodded, "I will tell you everything I know now!"

"Not bad!" Cai Kun sat upright in front of Xu Zun again, "Listen attentively! I think this must be a very wonderful story!"

"Yes! It's definitely beyond your imagination!" Xu Zun smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Cai, if you came here specifically to deal with Mr. Chen this time, just to destroy the Chen family, then I will tell you that your purpose has been achieved. How do you need me to confess, Xu will definitely cooperate!"

"..." Cai Kun heard that the topic was wrong, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"Or maybe, you just need to use my servants and Mr. Shen to deal with each other. In this case, I will cooperate too! Mr. Shen is the mastermind of the Iron Coffin case, and the Empress Dowager must be very satisfied!"

"..." Cai Kun narrowed his eyes, as if he had lost his patience.

"But there is one thing I want to remind Lord Cai," Xu Zun said calmly, "Can you make sure that after we are in the father and son, the iron coffin case will not happen again?"

"Oh?" Cai Kun's eyes showed doubts, as if he had already tasted the lethality in Xu Zun's words.

"If another iron coffin case occurs, are you sure you can explain it to the Queen Mother?" Xu Zun continued, "Mr. Cai, have you not noticed that, like us, you, from the moment you received the order from the Queen Mother, your destiny was firmly tied to the iron coffin!!!"
