Chapter 93 The missing coffin

"Daozhang Li, are there any restrictions in this tomb?"

Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.

"No more. Just now Pindao has opened all the restrictions."

Li Chunfeng shook his head.

"So, this coffin disappeared?"

Zhao Xun couldn't believe it.

The coffin is so big that it would be difficult to steal it.

Besides, there seems to be no robber hole in the tomb...

This fact further confirmed their previous speculation.

There is no robbery hole in the tomb, but there is a so-called "robbery hole" dug on the top of the large tomb. Obviously this is a man-made illusion.

Moreover, all the funerary objects in the tomb were intact, but the coffin and coffin were missing, which proves that the purpose of this group of people was not to rob the tomb at all, but to target Princess Xuanhuai. How could any tomb robber not steal the funerary objects, but only take the coffin and bones?

principle.

In other words, it is very likely that this tomb was opened by someone a long time ago. These people are definitely not ordinary people but practitioners. They rely not on brute force but on magic power. Only in this way can the restriction be opened.

The so-called "robber's cave" that Master Ji'an saw this time was deliberately created by someone who wanted to remind the court that Princess Xuanhuai's coffin was missing.

Zhao Xun felt that if this was possible, the possibility of a mole committing the crime was very high, because only a mole could sneak into the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai without anyone noticing, and avoid all mechanisms to take away the coffin.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Princess Xuanhuai's coffin was not buried in the tomb at all, and it was an empty tomb. Although this possibility is relatively low, Zhao Xun feels that it is not entirely impossible.

You must know that Princess Xuanhuai died very suddenly, which was a sudden death. The description of this period in the history books is also very brief, and it can even be said to be very taboo.

In addition, this tomb is extremely luxurious and completely exceeds the regulations for the tombs of princesses of the same level, which shows the status of Princess Xuanhuai in the eyes of the empress.

But if Princess Xuanhuai did not die suddenly and was "buried" in an empty tomb by the empress, it must have been to cover up others' eyes. What was the purpose behind it? Why did someone dig out a so-called "robbery cave" decades later?

"To remind the court that there is no Princess Xuanhuai's coffin in the tomb?

No matter what the possibility is, the purpose of the person behind it seems to be to awaken the court's long-lost memory of Princess Xuanhuai. Princess Xuanhuai does not seem to be simple.

Zhao Xun felt as if he was trapped in a deep quagmire, and it was very difficult to move every step.

Oh my god, why does he feel that after joining the bad guys, there will be pitfalls everywhere?

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession. The ancients never deceived me.

But it seems that Zhao Xun had no choice at that time. If he had not joined the bad guys at that time, he would have been punished by Emperor Xianlong for deceiving the emperor.

Even if he cared about Zhao Yuan's face, the most he could do was leave Zhao Xun's body intact.

So he is trying to survive?

Zhao Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly at himself.

Feudal society had no human rights.

"Daozhang Li, let's go out first. What we saw today is extremely bizarre, and I have to go back to the Delinquents' Office to report to Mr. Feng first."

The amount of information today was so overwhelming that even Zhao Xun couldn't accept it for a while.

He needs time to digest the analysis and organize it.

"That's fine."

Li Chunfeng nodded slightly.

...

...

Zhao Xun and his party came out of the tomb one after another, and Master Ji'an and Wangcai hurried over.

"Amitabha, the donors have been here for so long, the poor monk thought they were in danger."

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ji'an, the tomb of Princess Xuanhuai has not been stolen, or it has not been stolen recently. The "robbery hole" was probably just a shallow dig of a few feet to tell us that there is something strange about this tomb.

, thus attracting the attention of the court. Well, by the way, there is no coffin in the main tomb chamber."

Master Ji'an was shocked: "How could this happen? The donor meant that someone deliberately created the illusion that the tomb was stolen, but in fact the tomb was probably stolen a long time ago?"

Zhao Xun had been carefully observing Master Ji'an's expression and found nothing strange.

This is a normal reaction after hearing a shocking event.

Microexpressions don’t lie.

Zhao Xun did doubt Master Ji'an when he was in the tomb, but if there was something wrong with Master Ji'an, he had no reason to stay where he was.

Just now, Zhao Xun confirmed through micro-expressions, which basically ruled out the suspicion of Master Ji'an.

"It's hard to say for certain now. Everything needs to be considered in the long term."

Zhao Xun sighed and said: "It's getting late, let's go back separately. If necessary, we will visit again."

...

...

It was getting late, and the group of people left separately.

Third Brother, Sixth Brother, and Tenth Brother returned to Zhongnan Mountain Haoran Academy, while Master Ji'an returned to Zen Sutra Temple.

Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen, Wangcai, and Li Chunfeng galloped all the way from Fanchuan and returned to Chang'an City before sunset.

After sending Li Chunfeng back to Qintian Prison, Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen, and Wangcai came to the Delinquent Office to report back to Feng Hao.

What happened today was so bizarre that Zhao Xun felt that Feng Hao might not be able to accept it for a while.

But no matter what happens, you can't hide anything from your immediate boss.

After all, His Majesty assigned this case to a bad person, and it was impossible for Zhao Xun to fight it on his own.

Even if someone must be found to resist, it should be Feng Hao, the bad guy.

Bad Shuai Yamen, second floor.

At this moment, Feng Hao was reading the files. When he saw Zhao Xun and his party ascending the stairs, he put down the files in his hands and asked harmoniously: "How is it? Is there anything gained today?"

His Majesty gave him a deadline of fifteen days. There was still time, and Feng Hao also believed in Zhao Xun's ability.

This man has just solved a major treason case against the Left Prime Minister and has won the trust of His Majesty. He can be described as the most popular criminal in crimson robes.

"Um...Master Feng, my subordinate has made a major discovery, but you must be mentally prepared."

Zhao Xun gave Feng Hao a shot in advance to prevent Feng Hao from having trouble accepting the facts.

Sure enough, Feng Hao's face darkened when he heard this, and he lowered his voice and said, "Say it."

Zhao Xun nodded and told Feng Hao everything he saw after going to the tomb today.

Feng Hao remained silent after hearing this.

He originally thought it was an ordinary tomb robbery case, but now it seems that the situation is much more complicated than imagined.

The matter involves royal secrets, and if one person handles it improperly, the entire yamen may be implicated.

This case is simply a hot potato.

After a long time, Feng Hao sighed:

"I will personally report this matter to Your Majesty. Before that, please don't make any announcement."

"I obey my orders."

A stone hanging in Zhao Xun's heart has also fallen to the ground. Now that Feng Hao has taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Feng Hao is pretty good as his immediate boss, at least he won't drag his subordinates to take the blame.

The court is like a battlefield, and Zhao Xun doesn't want to charge forward, sweat and bleed, only to be stabbed in the back by his own people.
