Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 222 Chen Zhong's Thoughts (Part [-])

In the wing room where Wu Chen lived, the big head was snoring one after another, but none of the five people sitting around the round table spoke for a long time.

The five people seem to understand a truth in their hearts, since the new army has sealed off the other courtyard and is not allowed to enter or leave, they are afraid that they will be silenced in the end just like the others.

Wu Chen was calm at the moment, blaming himself didn't solve any problems, the [-] new troops outside the courtyard couldn't stop him, no amount of them could stop him, and they also knew the mountain behind the cellar, Wu Chen wanted to take these people away It's not difficult, he's just curious why Chen Zhong would do this.

Other courts have not yet found out, and there are still too many mysteries that have not been solved. It is only time. Yuan Tianshi and the others have not yet arrived in the capital. What's more, Wu Chen didn't think they could get Su Chang to say anything more. Under such circumstances, it didn't make sense to show that they wanted to kill people to silence them.

Seeing that several people were depressed, Yu Shian waved his hand and said:

"I had expected this kind of result a long time ago. We were trembling before, but now we are at ease. We know too much! In this life, I am not at a loss. I only hope that in the next life, I will stay away from the court and spend my life in peace and stability. "

The second year of high school sighed and asked: "You said, will your family be hurt?"

Song Gu waved his hand and said, "No! During our investigation, we didn't go back home. Naturally, the family members don't know anything, and the officials will not implicate them."

"That's fine!" The second year of high school drank a cup of tea proudly and said, "As early as in Anping County, Xu Da and I almost died at the hands of the ghost gang several times, but it was all saved by Brother Wu. Not bad."

Xu Da nodded slightly.

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "You all resigned to your fate? No one thought about escaping?"

"Escape? Where are you going?" The second grader asked: "If we escape, the family in Kyoto will go to jail. What good is it for me to survive? But you can escape, and you can escape with the big head, but I don't know how Pinggu will be." How?" The second grader said and sighed.

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "I left you here and ran away with Brother Big Tou? Do you think I can do it?"

Yu Shi'an said: "When life is at stake, there is no need to be righteous, and one by one runs out."

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "Haven't you ever thought about why the officials want to kill us?"

"Do you even need to ask? Only a few of us know about the training of Yin soldiers and dragon veins. If you don't kill us, wait for us to spread the word?" The second grader asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is those books! Those books have only passed through our hands. Once the contents of the books are spread...Although we haven't read them, the officials don't know about them." Xu Da added.

Wu Chen asked:
"Since it's for the books, when we left Yang'an County, we reported that the eight apprentices might have copied the books in the cave. Now that the booklets that were found have just been sent out, and the officials haven't received them yet, we're making them now. Isn’t it too early to make the decision to silence? What’s more, there are monsters in the river in this other courtyard, Yuan Tianshi still needs to be interrogated, who will subdue the female ghost? Someone has to do these things, who will do it? Have you killed them all after doing it?”

Song Gu pondered for a moment, and said, "If you say that, I don't think it might be what the official meant."

Xu Damang said: "Just now, Cookie also said that he was ordered by the Master..."

"Si Zun... what does this mean?" Senior Two asked.

Wu Chen chuckled and said, "It's not about you, it's about me...you don't need to pay attention to the new army outside, and continue to search the other courtyard carefully tomorrow, uh..." Wu Chen hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "If we Finding the gold and silver in the other courtyard at this time... Is there no way, what's the matter?"

Yu Shi'an thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If I transfer soldiers to take over the other courtyard, it's no problem. Now...don't they come in? As long as they find it, they can find a way to keep some, which is enough for you to arrange marriage for the big head .”

"Is it enough to buy a house or land?" Wu Chen asked with blinking eyes.

The sophomore slapped Wu Chen on the back, and angrily scolded in a low voice, "Why are you so greedy?! You know that greed is the most taboo in officialdom. Once you forget to restrain yourself, you will be in trouble sooner or later."

Wu Chen shrank his neck and explained: "It's not that I don't understand the consumption level in Kyoto. It's just asking, so please don't worry."

Xu Da also persuaded: "It's really not easy to live in the capital. I don't think Big Brother is suitable for living in the city. Don't talk about being noisy. Big Brother is simple and straightforward. He might offend anyone one day. It's better to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers outside the capital." You can buy a few acres of land and build a few tile-roofed houses in this place, but you are free! It doesn’t cost a lot of money, and a few of us can scrape together for you.”

Yu Shi'an patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me alone."

The second year in high school hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"

Yu Shi'an glared and asked, "You still want to fight with me?"

"No, just now we were still discussing life and death, why did we suddenly start to buy land?" asked the sophomore in puzzlement.

Song Gu said: "Didn't Wu Chen already say that, this is Chen Zhong's business with him, it has nothing to do with you and me, let's just do what Wu Chen said."

"Yes, right now this is a matter between Si Zun and Brother Wu, what about the future? In the future we will make it clear that the other courtyards are clear, do you dare to say that we can survive?" the sophomore asked again.

Wu Chen stretched his waist and said:

"I wasn't sure at first, but now I feel...at least now, if the officials are thinking of silence, Si Zun will definitely not take such a step. He knows that these people can't stop me. If the officials are ruined He can't handle such a big event."

"I don't understand." The sophomore said honestly.

"Go back to sleep if you don't understand! It's been a long day. Which of you has slept peacefully during this time? You can catch up on sleep tonight. I can sleep when I wake up tomorrow morning. Let's go and sleep!"

……

In the dead of night, Wu Chen sat alone at the table with tree branches on it. He calmed down and thought about it, why did Chen Zhong keep being wary of him?Why do you always want to suppress him?Today's matter, if he is impulsive, he will cause disaster. If he really walks away, how will Chen Zhong explain it to the officials?

Wu Chen took a sip of the cold tea.

Chen Zhong knew that he would not leave easily for the sake of the people around him. It was best to plan quietly. After Cookie found out and reported it, the officials would naturally be suspicious and be on guard at all times. It would be best for Wu Chen to say something impulsively. It's against the sky, so the officials will know whether he is an impulsive person or a reckless person, and then what?
Just as Wu Chen was thinking, the female ghost slowly crawled out from the branches.

"Go back! It's late at night, I don't want to see you."

"Let's have a good talk." The female ghost begged.

"What is there to talk about with one person and one ghost?"

"what do you want?"
