Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 204
Wu Chen stood up straight away, patted the dust off his body, looked at the stunned Yu Shian and Song Gu, and said:
"I asked you to leave. Naturally, there is a reason for letting you go. You drag your family and lead your mouth. Who can stand the suspicion of the officials? Before, it was just a monster, but now there is another dragon vein. This is not because you stay and help I carried it over."

The big head rushed over and pulled Wu Chen's wrist, looking it up and down carefully, Wu Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Da Tou let out a long sigh of relief, went back to pick up the pancakes on the ground, patted the dust on them, and ate them.

Yu Shi'an and Song Gu glanced at each other, and Yu Shi'an said: "Song Tixing and I have already followed the convoy out of Longgu Mountain, but no matter how we think about it, we don't think it's right. If we leave like this, if someone doubts you in the future, you may be the one on your body." The mouth is full, and I can't speak clearly."

Song Gu also said: "This matter is too big. I don't think Gu You should be allowed to take people away. We should leave together after the other courtyard is cleaned up."

Wu Chen stretched his arms, kicked his legs, and said:

"I don't know that it's best for me, but who are those people? I thought Su Chang was powerful enough, but Yuan Tianshi can summon ghosts to block the way with just his thoughts. Yuan Tianshi himself is not weak, and neither are you." I haven't seen it before. If I hadn't seized an opening to drive him into the river, I can't say who would win and who would lose in the end. You say that such a big Lei, I dare to keep him in my own territory? There are those disciples of Su Chang, who were the ones who killed the five hundred soldiers, and Cao Bingshan, no one knows how much they learned from Su Chang, how dare I stay by my side?"

Wu Chen still has nothing to say, Chen Zhong is so free, how can we not find something for him to do?

The second grader nodded and said, "If we stay here, we really don't know if we will kill each other one day..."

"But in this way, many things will be unclear." Yu Shi'an spread his hands.

"Gu Youzai can't tell. They are all from the Investigation Department of the Imperial City. If the officials want to suspect someone, they don't care if there are one or two more people. We only do what we should do, and if we encounter injustice, we will do something against the sky. ..."

Just as Yu Shi'an was about to reprimand him, Wu Chen waved his hand and said:

"I'm just addicted to my mouth, don't take it seriously! Now is not the time to discuss these things, that thing doesn't dare to come out during the day, let's search the other courtyard first, rescue the people in the other courtyard, and then find a way to get rid of the organs at the foot of the mountain." Destroy it, there will always be people passing by, it’s not good to hurt innocent people’s lives, come and play with him at night.”

Wu Chen knew that no matter what he said now, he would not be able to change Yu Shian and Song Gu's thoughts for the time being. He just needs to spend a little effort to rescue a few people, and when the time comes to find a paradise with beautiful mountains and green waters, he may not be unable to survive.

Wu Chen casually ordered a few pawns to stay and watch. He was about to go back to the camp and eat something first. He hurriedly asked, "You can't beat that thing in the river, how do you play at night?"

Just a second ago, Wu Chen felt that he was omnipotent. When he was asked by the big head, he suddenly thought that if he wanted a paradise, he had to move the mountain in front of him first, and leave this disaster to others. It was not Wu Chen's style. What's more, the beating tonight was for nothing?
Wu Chen turned his head to look at the big head, and then looked back at the sophomores, Xu Da, Yu Shi'an and Song Gu, and suddenly thought that when he received the order, he would make a decision to deal with the monster in the river. At that time, if the officials really had any ideas, they would definitely call him back to the capital after the matter was over. In this way, he would have nothing to do with Song Gu and Yu Shian. Can stop him?

Wu Chen didn't think about it carefully. While he was thinking about taking care of these people's safety, the thought of leaving sooner or later didn't cross his mind.

……

A few people returned to the camp outside the other courtyard. After eating, they ordered the soldiers to tidy up briefly, and the group returned to the other courtyard.

The other courtyard is so big, there is no need for them to live in tents.

Wu Chen and the others went directly to the courtyard where the eldest princess lived in the other courtyard. Based on this, the second year of high school arranged for people to search the other courtyard. Song Gu and Yu Shi'an followed along, and there were people beside them who kept recording.

In the afternoon, apart from gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, nothing else was found, let alone the books that Wu Chen wanted to see. Wu Chen knew that there must be a secret room in the other courtyard.

Seeing that the main courtyards had been inspected, Wu Chen said to Song Gu and Yu Shian, "Right now we need to find those living people first, and search other courtyards slowly."

The second year of high school asked: "Didn't you say that those living people will definitely not suffer? Why are you so anxious?"

Song Gu said: "If you don't suffer, at most you haven't been beaten or starved. It's hard to say anything else. What Wu Chen means is that this other courtyard needs to be carefully inspected, and it's not something we can do in a short while. "

Wu Chen said: "I thought that the sooner I could find books, the better, but now it seems that I think it's easy, let's find living people first."

……

Wang Chengxian said that there is a cellar in the last courtyard, and the entrance is next to the wall built against the mountain, and those living people can be seen through the cellar.

Wu Chen thought of hundreds of people trapped in the cellar, living in the dark for an unknown amount of time, and couldn't help feeling angry. But when he found the entrance and walked into the cellar, he found that it was just a passage, and walking forward turned out to be an uphill road. After walking for almost a stick of incense, steps appeared.

Several people climbed up the stairs and opened the door of the passage, Wu Chen was stunned, it turned out to be a mountain depression, rows of thatched huts, and smoke from cooking, but no one appeared.

Wu Chen's first thought was...Xanadu!
Gao Er and Xu Da quickly ran to the nearest hut and shouted, "There are six people inside."

Wu Chen sighed, what's the use of looking like a paradise?

……

There are a total of 280 people in these thatched huts, and the longest person who has been here has been seven years. During these seven years, some people came and some died, but no one left the thatched hut, and those who tried to leave all died.

According to their gender, four to six people live in a thatched hut. Some people will send some rice, noodles, meat, vegetables and firewood every two days. Fortunately, these people don't need to work every day...

Wu Chen observed these thin, empty-eyed people, most of them were women, there were no old people or children, and the men were all in their prime.

Wu Chen arranged for someone to register these people.

These more than 200 people have homes everywhere, the nearest ones are the villagers at the foot of Longgu Mountain, and the far ones are thousands of miles away.

Wu Chen was worried that these women might not survive if they went back home.
