"Chief, we checked, and no one has moved the coffin."
"Check it again carefully."
"yes!"
Several men in black surrounded the coffin and looked it up and down, left and right, but found no signs that it had been opened, and they couldn't help but feel confused.
"Chief, we checked carefully and found no clues."
The man known as the leader nodded, then knelt on one knee toward the middle-aged man who stood with his hands behind his back, his back to them. "Sir, after inspection, no suspicious findings were found."
"If there are no suspicious points, then why would there be a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
They want to know too.
If the coffin had been opened, there would be no way that there would be no traces left. As for taking objects from a distance, that is really unrealistic. No matter how powerful the magic is, it is impossible to take the corpse through the coffin.
So, what was this luring the tiger away from the mountain that they saw?
The more I think about this matter, the more wrong it seems.
"Sir, how about..."
The middle-aged man turned around, lowered his eyes, and swept his cold gaze over the man kneeling on one knee, like the gaze of a judge, torturing him again and again: "Are you looking for death?"
The man immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said hastily, "I admit my guilt!"
"Humph, if you dare to bring it up again next time, you'll have to apologize right then and there!"
"……yes."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave, then walked to the coffin, his eyes fell on it, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew what his subordinates wanted to express. In fact, he had the same idea at first, but was rejected by his deepest thoughts.
The fact that the most honorable national teacher of a great country was hidden in the house of a traitor and could not be buried in peace was already a loss of the great country's good karma. If he were to open the coffin and examine the body again, how could the national teacher let him go if his spirit in heaven was still there?
It would be fine if he wasn't let go, but if divine punishment were to be brought down on the great nation because of his actions, he couldn't bear the consequences of such a crime.
"Master Imperial Master, rest assured. Once we have imprisoned the traitor in the Heavenly Prison, we will hold a grand funeral for you."
"Ah owe!"
Xiao Xu, who was rushing to the capital, sneezed and couldn't help but pull up the few clothes on his body.
Fortunately, there were not many people on the street, otherwise, if she was recognized in this state, it would not take long for rumors to spread in the capital that the national teacher had blown up the corpse.
After waiting for a while until they reached the city gate, Xiao Ling had no choice but to pick up a lump of mud from the ground and smear it on her face, messing up her hair. She looked like a madman. As for why they didn't say she looked like a beggar...
Just look at the clothes she is wearing. The material is obviously expensive. Who would be so blind?
When entering the city gate, Xiao Xu was stopped as expected.
"Who are you and where is your pass token?"
Pass token?
How could she have that thing? It was always taken by others before, and she never took it with her when she went out of town.
If there is a talisman...
Um?
This guard seems to have a talisman on him.
Xiao Yuzi's lower hand moved.
"Brother, wait a minute..."
After pondering the token's appearance for a while, Xiao raised the hand holding the talisman and asked, "Can I pass?"
The guard hesitated for half a second, nodded, and stepped back.
These days, even a madman can come into the city at will.
However, why does the madman’s token look familiar?
The guard thought about it for a whole day and night but still had no recollection. The next day, when he woke up and washed up, he discovered that the talisman he carried with him wherever he went was missing.
…
After Xiao Xu entered the city, she did not rush back to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Instead, she first went to the inn where she had stayed a year ago.
