Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 205 Spreading the Word (Part [-])
Yu Shi'an said: "Put them in another courtyard first, we also need to wait for the government's order. If we send them home, someone will prove their innocence. If..."

Wu Chen interrupted Yu Shi'an with a cold snort, and said, "If you need to silence them, you don't need to worry about how they will live in the future."

Song Gu smiled wryly, "Even we don't know what will happen in the end."

Xu Da looked at Wu Chen, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The patrolmen transferred all these people to another courtyard. Fortunately, the other courtyard was not small and could accommodate them even if they were squeezed together. It was dusk after the arrangements were made.

……

Wu Chen stood by the river, staring at the water in front of him in a daze, with Datou beside him.

Yu Shi'an, Song Gu, Senior Two and Xu Senior were non-stop. They led teams to find the agency traps. Wang Chengxian made a generalization and confessed the person who set the traps. Gu You couldn't take away all the people in other courtyards. , Some servants stayed behind, and there were people involved in setting up the trap. The four of them took a few people who knew the situation to solve the mechanism controlling the mountain and the trap in the other courtyard.

It was rare that only Wu Chen and Datou were left.

Wu Chen's desire to leave began to stir.

He asked the big head: "Can you farm?"

Big head shook his head.

"Can you hunt?"

The big head shook his head again.

"Do you know herbs?"

The big head shook like a rattle, and said: "I only beg for food and eat."

Wu Chen coughed several times, and hurriedly asked, "But the injury hasn't healed yet?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's all good, I'm fine." After finishing speaking, Wu Chen sighed again.

The big head hurriedly asked: "Are you worried about that thing in the water? I thought of an idea. I once heard an old beggar say that he used to catch fish when he was young and used a fishing net to catch fish. Although I don't know what the fishing net is made of, But presumably if you can catch fish, you can catch other things as well.”

Wu Chen pursed his lips and said that he was thinking about how to explain to Datou that the thing in the water could not be caught by fishing nets, when suddenly a loud voice came from behind him.

"Why don't you two go to sleep for a while when you have the time?"

Wu Chen looked back, and Xu walked over with a big smile.

The big head suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Is it time for dinner? Who is cooking in the kitchen? What are you having for dinner? I'll go and see." After saying that, the big head left in a hurry.

Wu Chen wanted to remind Datou not to get lost, but when he saw the policeman standing in the distance walking towards him, he didn't shout out, this policeman would definitely follow Datou.

"Are you done with your work?" Wu Chen asked Xu Da.

Xu Da said: "No, I asked the second year of high school to help me. I have a few words to say to you."

Wu Chen nodded and asked, "Brother, it's been a hard trip back to the capital, right?"

Xu Da laughed and said: "It's okay to work hard, it's just the first time I see an official, so I can't be nervous."

"Oh? Did Si Zun take you into the palace?"

"When I arrived in the capital, I saw Si Zun and didn't say a few words, and Si Zun sent someone to seal the Prince Cheng's mansion, and then hurriedly took me into the palace to meet the official family... I don't know what to say, that is, Si Zun is like I don't want the officials to reuse you, but the officials value you very much."

Wu Chen frowned. He thought he would hear some officials' and Si Zun's opinions on this case, but he didn't expect Xu Dayi to come up with the two leaders' opinions on him.

Wu Chen knew that in Chen Zhong's discipline to his subordinates, obedience to orders was the most important thing. The sophomore Xu, including Gu You, worked according to this rule. Today, when Xu Daneng said such words, Wu Chen was a little moved and also a little worried.

Xu Da turned his head to look at Wu Chen, and said with a smile:

"You don't need to worry. In the palace, the official ordered Si Zun to leave first, and I talked about you alone. The official asked me why there was a gap between you and Deputy Envoy Yu. I didn't know what to do at the time, so I could only To be honest, if you say you just want to cause some trouble for Si Zun, you will regret it after you finish speaking, and feel that you have been betrayed."

"Why do you think so, brother? Who dares to lie when asked by the officials?"

"I thought about it at the time, if the official punished me, I would take it for you! But the official was not only not angry, but also said some words of praise to you, and finally asked me to send you a message, saying that you just let go Do it, investigate this case, His Majesty will protect you forever."

Wu Chen didn't expect this. He blinked and looked at Xu Da in surprise.

Xu Da laughed and said:

"I also didn't expect the official to trust you so much. I kowtowed for you several times, saying that you are not joking. Since the official said this, I will give you a gold medal to avoid death. I think the official is Think about what you are afraid of."

"Me, what am I afraid of?"

"You are afraid that the more people who know about such a case involving raising evil spirits and seeking the throne, the easier it will be to be killed, so at the beginning you always said that you went up the mountain alone, because you were afraid that it would implicate me and the sophomore , Later, Song Tixing arrived, and always reminded you that the more people there are, the more chances to save your life... I came back this time, and I can see that there is no gap between you and Deputy Envoy Yu. Good! The two of them didn't leave this time, I can see that what they want is to save your life."

"Brother, you really have improved a lot." Wu Chen exclaimed.

Xu Da smiled embarrassedly and said:
"The second grader and I will talk about one or two when we have nothing to do. I just found out what you found in the cave in Laojie Mountain. The second grader said that it is good for me to take a step first. If I want to leave after I get out of the cave, You will definitely not let it! Knowing that Prince Cheng has evil spirits is different from knowing that he practices evil spirits, you will worry that I will not be able to come out when I arrive in the capital."

Wu Chen nodded honestly.

Xu Da said:

"The official ordered Si Zun to send five hundred new troops to Yang'an County. He originally wanted you to take Sou Shan with him. I met them halfway and they told me that you went to Longgu Mountain. They stood by and waited for Si Zun. Dispatch, I came first alone, I don't know whether they will be recalled to Kyoto or will come to Longgu Mountain, the situation here, I don't need to say anything to the second year, Gu Youzi will report back to Si Zun, I think Si Zun is not good He will care about what is in the river, he will only care about what is in the other courtyard, if the things in the other courtyard are important, five hundred new troops should arrive in these two days."

Wu Chen snorted and said:
"I also know that there should be something in this other courtyard. What happened last night was too sudden. They didn't have a chance to prepare everything, but no matter what, it will not be put on the surface for us to see, and some people will not be called in. Helper, let's consume it slowly."

Wu Chen said this, but he was thinking about the history he knew. There were not many kings in the past who kept their promises. Very well, any crime can be fatal, not to mention that they have never met each other, so what if they have the merits of being a dragon?

But the officials asked Chen Zhong to leave and talked about it with Xu Da alone, which caught Wu Chen's attention.

"Brother, why did the officials ask Si Zun to leave and talk to you alone?"
