Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 234 Making a Request (Part [-])

"What I wonder is why the female ghost can also spit out black juice?" Wu Chen seemed to be talking to himself.

"Ah?" The sophomore and Xu Daju were shocked,

Wu Chen looked outside the door and said, "The officials are here." After finishing speaking, he lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

The sophomore stood up and sat down, stood up and sat down again, not knowing how to greet the official, Xu Da slapped the sophomore hard and said, "Calm down, just pretend that the official is here."

The sophomore raised Erlang's legs, shook his feet and asked, "Is this okay?"

Wu Chen said: "As soon as they enter the house, you have to get up, salute and then go out, there is no need to be nervous."

Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's get out of here quickly. Don't be afraid of working hard. This whole day...is uncomfortable."

After Xu Dagang finished speaking, an old eunuch opened the door and came in.

……

Only Li Heng and Wu Chen were left in the room.

Wu Chen was a little helpless. Meeting alone with the leader was a technical task. He had just dealt with Chen Zhong, and before he could catch his breath, a bigger leader came and had another face-to-face conversation.

"Your Majesty has something to do, just order someone to call me over, how can I let His Majesty make this trip?" Wu Chen was telling the truth.

"You have been poisoned by the corpse, sit down." Li Heng said gently while sitting on the armchair.

Wu Chen moved an embroidered pier, sat on it with a bow, and gave a soft 'hmm'.

"This kind of poison...is difficult to detox, especially since she died for too long, your body will inevitably suffer some damage."

Wu Chen tried his best to force a smile and say it's okay, but that expression was uglier than crying.

Li Heng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything against your will. I can see that you did your best to protect me last night, and you were poisoned because of me. Tell me, what do you want? It's not too much." Yes, I can satisfy you."

Wu Chen thought about it seriously and said, "I don't have a place to live in the capital yet, and my big brother has reached the age to get married..."

"I appreciate your house, but don't think about how big it is."

"It's enough to accommodate our brothers and our future sister-in-law. It's fine to enter the house twice, and it's better to enter three times." Wu Chen said with a playful smile: "The deputy commander of the Imperial City Division has been vacant..."

"You really dare to ask for it!"

"If it's just the previous credit, I'm really embarrassed to say it, but the river hasn't been identified yet, and the female ghost is still there, but it's just trapped in the river. Longgu Mountain also needs to be investigated carefully. There's something weird about the ground."

Wu Chen talked about setting fire to the mountain in the other courtyard on the first day, and the mountain fire was extinguished soon, and then continued: "Who saved the female ghost at the beginning? Where is Prince Cheng now? There are still people on Longgu Mountain. What are the secrets? I don’t feel at ease if I don’t find out these things, let alone the officials.”

Li Heng smiled and asked, "Did Chen Zhong come to see you just now?"

"Yes, Si Zun wanted to persuade me to enter the palace cleanly, thinking that he could hold me firmly in his hands, and threatened that as long as he was willing to speak, there would be no reason why the officials should not respond. Violation."

Li Heng slowly put away the smile on his face, and said, "Entering the palace...is really easy."

Wu Chen didn't show any surprise, but asked with a wry smile, "I took that knife just to make Si Zun feel at ease? I'm not stupid. I told Si Zun that I would rather kill him and go to prison. It is also a knife, and I would rather suffer this knife."

"You fell out with Chen Zhong?"

"I want my descendants, why don't you turn my face? It stands to reason that I have died several times during this period, and there is hard work without credit, right? Don't say what to give me, but still thinking about taking something away from me , Isn’t this bullying? How can such behavior make subordinates work hard? Life is something that you don’t need if you are in a hurry, but you must have the backbone!”

"So you want to be the deputy commander? But that is also under Chen Zhong's command."

"It's enough to separate. He is in charge of the ice well affairs, and I am in charge of the investigation department. This can be regarded as the best use of everything."

"You think it's easy." Li Heng said with a smile.

Wu Chen immediately said:
"I'm just making a suggestion. If your majesty is in trouble, just pretend I didn't say it. I think so. This time, I was lucky. They were caught before they produced a large number of ghosts and blood corpse birds. It can be seen that among the people, There are evil spirits and evil spirits, it's time to investigate them thoroughly, and it will be too late to take action after they become popular! But to deal with these things, you don't have the guts and no brains, but the boss treats his subordinates..."

"You want to find out about Longgu Mountain, and lead someone to investigate... the strange things among the people?"

Wu Chen nodded heavily and said:

"I am not suitable to be an official in the court, especially after being poisoned by a corpse, but I have some petty skills. After experiencing the two incidents in Anping County and Yang'an County, I am quite touched. I want to build a bridge to make the living restless and the dead have no way to return, and I happen to be able to see it and send away ghosts, so I should contribute to the people of the world.”

Li Heng looked at Wu Chen expressionlessly. Wu Chen looked calm with his head down, but his heart was pounding.

"Do you know that the corpse poison in you... has no solution?"

Wu Chen said with a carefree smile: "Sooner or later, it's not dead. If I can still move, I can do something for the people and the world, so I will do it quickly. That's why I said that I am not suitable to be an official in the court. There is a The official position is also for the convenience of running errands, otherwise I don't even want the official position."

Li Heng pondered for a moment, then asked:

"When can you see ghosts?" Li Heng asked.

"If you say it is due to Si Zun, Si Zun was chased and killed by the ghost gang. I stood up and yelled out of my own strength. It was raining heavily that day, and thunder and lightning roared. I was just a beggar in rags. At that stop, if the ghost gang doesn't kill me, who will they kill?"

"You can see me later?"

"Not so fast. At that time, I just felt that my eyes were uncomfortable. Later, Si Zun asked me to go to the mountain col. The people I sent before died in it. Although I saved Si Zun's life, Si Zun wanted my life instead. , but I didn’t know at the time, that mountain could not see my fingers, and there was a corpse under my feet when I walked, and I came out alive that night, but if I go again, I can see ghosts all over the mountains.”

"Where does your divine power come from?"

When Wu Chen heard this question, he knew that Chen Zhong had said everything he should and should not say.

"After I was able to see ghosts, I often saw lonely ghosts at night. I asked the reason why they refused to leave, and solved them for them. Then they would leave. I would have a headache, and then I would have some strength. .”

Li Heng smiled and said, "If this goes on like this, no one in this world will be able to stop you."

Wu Chen nodded sincerely and said, "That's true. Don't wait for the future. I'm afraid there is no one who can stop me right now."

"Can Xing Yun do it?" Li Heng asked.

"I don't know, but I can't beat the monster in the river, I can only outwit it."

"Outsmart?" Li Heng smiled: "Xing Yun!"

Xing Yun came to Li Heng's side in an instant.

Wu Chen wasn't surprised at all, but Xing Yun was very surprised that Wu Chen wasn't surprised.
