Chapter 361 Murderous Case of Family Extermination, Mysterious Iron Coffin

A month has passed since Queen Qi's death.

On this day, Yu Chen received another letter from Prime Minister Song.

Said two things.

First, after the death of the empress, the map of the "Heaven Capturing Formation" that had not been discovered was hidden on the body of the red-robed old eunuch who was beheaded by Prime Minister Song.

——His identity has also been found out. Yue Chan's senior veteran comes from a tribe in southern Xinjiang that has long been destroyed by Daxia. Although he is not proficient in spiritual practice, he is extremely good at poisonous poison witchcraft.

Prime Minister Song speculated that the sound of the wooden fish that controlled Emperor Qi Yuan was originally his handiwork.

Unfortunately, Song Xiang was about to rescue him at that moment, so he beheaded him before he could be interrogated.

And the formation diagram of the heavenly creation was found in the old eunuch's mustard bag.

——Queen Qi should have put this thing on the Yue Chan elder before the decisive battle with Song Xiang.

At that time, he had completely controlled the palace with the help of Emperor Qi Yuan, and it was indeed extremely safe to place the formation diagram here.

But now, after discovering the formation map, Emperor Qi Yuan has sealed it into the center of the Three Mountains and Nine Meridians National Destiny Formation.

Only when the Three Saints and One Emperor's Seal gather together and open the National Destiny Formation can they be taken out.

In other words, that formation diagram is sealed in the National Fortune Formation, which can be said to be the safest place in this world.

——If one day, the Three Saints and One Emperor's Seal are all taken away, then the Heaven Seizing Formation Formation will no longer be important. After all, it means that the Daxia regime has been destroyed.

As for the second thing, it is about the whereabouts of the "overseas evil cultivator".

At first, the court couldn't find any clues about this guy even after all the troubles.

It was because of something that happened later that was exposed.

——The Bailu Mountain Murder Case.

The two Xiling warriors sent by the Ministry of Industry to Bailu Mountain to destroy the great formation of heaven and fortune had not returned yet, so they sent people to search for them.

As a result, two mummies wearing the robes of Xiling warriors were found in Bailu Mountain.

From the two mummies, traces of a strange evil method that devoured flesh and blood were found.

And this kind of evil method was used by the overseas evil cultivator who tried to refine Daxia.

Therefore, the imperial court determined that this guy was the one who killed two Xiling warriors.

Following along, I found some clues.

Finally, it was determined that the overseas evil cultivator had passed through Jiangzhou, which had become a wasteland, passed through Mobei, and left Daxia.

This news made Emperor Qiyuan and Prime Minister Song both relieved and worried.

I breathed a sigh of relief because this piece of shit had finally done enough harm to humanity and went to bring trouble to the demon clan in the north.

The worry is because I am worried that this guy will collude with the demon clan and cause some trouble.

——Song Xiang also said that if Daxia's vitality had not been severely damaged and two of the supreme powers of the fourth realm were killed at once, Emperor Qiyuan even wanted to send troops to crush the monster clan in the north and capture the overseas evil cultivator and execute him. .

After the official business was finished, there was another private matter, which was that Prime Minister Song half-jokingly said that he must see the judge's true face before he died.

Yu Chen looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

However, according to the old man Literary Saint, Song Yi, who has always been serious about words, said this, which means that he has regarded Yu Chen as a friend.

Yu Chen also wrote back with a humorous tone, saying that Prime Minister Song's obsession may only be realized after death.

But then I thought about it, now that the country of Daxia is peaceful and the people are at peace, even if Song Yi dies, it will probably be a mourning event, and he may not be able to leave any last wishes.

After replying to the letter, Yu Chen let the paper crane fly and walked out of the house.

The dinner table was already filled with big fish and meat. Shi Shi was still busy in the kitchen. Finally, he served a pot of fragrant crucian carp soup. After sprinkling a few chopped green onions, it became even more delicious.

After everyone had a good meal, Yu Chen was about to go outside the house and walk twice before continuing to practice breathing.

But a burst of footsteps interrupted his plan.

He turned his head and looked down the mountain.

I saw several officials carrying carloads of corpses up the mountain.

Next to the funeral procession, there was a rich ghost standing, but it looked too miserable to look at.

——The eyes were poked out, the ears were cut off, half of the tongue was missing, the body was covered with scars, and the limbs were twisted into weird angles. It looked like he had suffered inhuman torture.

Even though Yu Chen was well-informed and had experienced strong winds and waves, he still frowned when seeing such a tragic situation.

And according to what those officials said, this was another horrific massacre.

The victim was the Zhu family, a wealthy businessman in Baihu City.

The Zhu family is in the shipbuilding business, and it has grown rapidly in recent years. With God's help, it will soon become one of the best shipyards in Baihu City and even the entire capital.

It can be said that 40% of the civilian ships sailing in the entire capital were built by Zhujia Shipyard.

And just such a huge wealthy businessman family was wiped out alive a few nights ago.

I don’t know that the head of the family, Zhu Wantian, had a family of more than ten, including the servants, guards, and maids, all dead!

And most of them suffered inhuman torture.

The imperial court naturally takes such a big mess very seriously, especially now that the real Emperor Qi Yuan has such a resolute and iron-blooded temperament, how dare the Ministry of Punishment dare to show any slightness?

Check it now!

Two casual cultivators in the spirit realm were quickly captured. After some interrogation, although they insisted that they were not the murderers, they found countless silver and heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Zhu family's secret treasury in their mustard seed bags. There are also magical instruments stained with the blood of the Zhu family.

Everyone gets the stolen goods!

Dare you deny it?

The Ministry of Punishment immediately sentenced him to death, and he was executed in Ling Chi!

The Qi warriors who were in the realm of two spirits were brutally stabbed nine thousand nine hundred times in the execution ground before they died!

The corpses of the Zhu family were also received by the Ministry of Rites. After being sewn up by corpse stitchers, they were sent to the Tomb of No Return for burial.

——It is said that the miserable death situation at that time made the veterans of the corpse shop feel as if they had eaten a dead rat. After finishing sewing, I even took ten days off.

In short, that's what happened.

An hour later, when dozens of corpses were buried, several officials gave Yu Chen a share of the red wine. After drinking a few sips of tea, they went down the mountain.

But Yu Chen looked at the miserable ghost thoughtfully.

Obviously, although Liang Guan'er explained the ins and outs of the entire case clearly.

But things are never that simple.

The biggest doubt is the existence of this rich ghost.

He is the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Wantian.

If we go by what the official said, his entire family was robbed and killed, and died miserably.

But now the "murderer" has been brought to justice, and was even executed late.

His last wish should be fulfilled no matter what.

And once the last wish is fulfilled, even if it is not Yu Chen's hand, the ghost should be wiped out by heaven and earth.

It shouldn't be like this, looking so resentful.

Thinking like this, Yu Chen waved, and the ghost slowly wandered towards him.

Entered the house.

As soon as the Sutra of Saving People was displayed, the golden light was released, and the ghost turned into a stream of light and got into the Huangquan River.

Yu Chen followed in and saw the ghost stopped, unwilling to leave.

In the tongue-less mouth, the words were babbling incomprehensibly.

Yu Chen could only make out a few simple words.

What coffin, what prince, what shame...

At the same time, the life-long revolving door of Zhu Wantian, the head of the Zhu family, emerged in front of Yu Chen.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Yu Chen was stunned at first sight.

It turns out that in addition to being the owner of the shipyard, Zhu Wantian also has a deeper identity.

——The disciple of King Rende.

Speaking of which, he and Yu Chen are actually colleagues!

His apparent identity at the moment is that he is a disciple of the seventh prince, King Rende!

Let's talk about Zhu Wantian, a person from Baihu City, whose ancestors were sailors for three generations.

His generation is no exception.

But this Zhu Wantian was too eccentric. He didn't want to beg for food on the water all his life, so he spent all his wealth and borrowed a lot of money to open a small workshop for repairing and maintaining ships.

But others rely on experience, inheritance, and help from noble people to do business.

What does Zhu Wantian have? He is passionate.

As a result, more than ten years later, I lost all my money and owed a lot of debt.

Those who want debts come directly to the door and put a knife to their necks. They must either pay back the money or die.

At this moment, Zhu Wantian met his nobleman.

——The seventh prince, King Rende.

At that time, King De Rende was only a child of twelve or thirteen years old, but he had already begun to lay out and manage his own power.

From this point alone, we can see the difference between King Rende and the eldest prince. When the eldest prince was this age, he was still eating forbidden fruits under the skirts of maids, but King Rende had already begun to reach out to people outside the court. folk.

This also shows that Zhou Xiu, the benevolent king, wanted to seize the throne at the beginning, but in the end, I don’t know what he found. Not only did he run away to the idle prince Zhou Xiu, but he also ran away directly in the end. overseas.

Reminiscent of what he once said to Yu Chen, "The capital is sick and terminally ill."

Could it be possible that he had already discovered the identity of the queen?

Yu Chen speculated in his mind, but quickly put these doubts out of his mind and continued to look.

With the help of King Rende, Zhu Wantian certainly had a smooth journey and soon became a famous customer in the capital!

At the same time, they also became the most loyal followers of King Rende.

His wealth, his reputation, everything about him and even his life were all saved by King Benevolence. Naturally, there is nothing he can repay in this life!

His shipyard accumulated wealth and network for King Rende, and the power of King Rende allowed the Zhu family shipyards to bloom all over the capital and become bigger and bigger.

Thriving.

And all the changes happened more than a year ago.

After the seventh prince Zhou Xiu visited the palace, he suddenly decided to fly away without any warning.

He accepted the reward from the "King of Benevolence", chose the most remote fiefdom, and ran away.

And this departure also took away a considerable amount of his manpower and resources. Only those like Zhu Wantian who could not be taken away stayed.

But what everyone except Zhu Wantian didn't know was that King Rende gave him a task before he left.

That night, King Rende came to Zhu Mansion in person and handed Zhu Wantian a heavy iron coffin, wrapped with dense chains, and told Zhu Wantian to take good care of it and avoid any accidents!

Zhu Wantian swore on the spot.

——The head can fall off, but the coffin will not be lost!

But more than a year later, he reneged on his promise.

The head was lost, and so was the coffin.
