Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 236 Concern (Part Two)
Seeing Wu Chen's indifferent expression, Li Heng frowned.

Wu Chen also said:

"If you want me to say, all of Chen Zhong's guesses are based on one guess, that is, my appearance was premeditated, and my rescue of him was planned in advance, but he knew that the situation at that time was beyond my design. , if I can know how to bow my head, he won't say these guesses to His Majesty. If it's just because I don't have power in my hands, and I don't have someone in power, shouldn't I please him in every possible way and make him unsuspecting of me? Is that right? Why do you think of ways to make it difficult for him? Let him always be on guard against me? It's just a matter of character."

Li Heng didn't speak.

Wu Chen sighed and said again: "Although I was born as a beggar, with my own abilities, I'm afraid it's not difficult to win over a few people, at least it's much easier than the few times I almost died like this. "

Li Heng nodded subconsciously, and said, "Chen Zhong...was also scared by Yuan Shuchun. Yuan Shuchun has no children and no daughters and acts like a wild crane, which really blinded our eyes."

Hearing the official's answer, Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but said with a serious face, "Master Yuan and Princess Dachang... the three children may all belong to Master Yuan, but the Detective Department didn't realize it." , it can be seen that Yuan Tianshi's ability was already great 50 years ago, otherwise the female ghost would not have looked for him."

Li Heng turned his head and looked at Wu Chen. Wu Chen still had a serious expression and continued:
"Chen Zhong may still speak for His Majesty, saying that even if I don't do well now, I can't guarantee that I won't do well in the future! Today Chen Zhong sat beside my bed, and I said this sentence, don't care if I will be a disaster in the future, but I will solve the current scourge, and I only hope that Your Majesty will not lose! As for the future, just like Yuan Tianshi today, when he sowed the seeds 50 years ago, how could he have thought that there would be me 50 years later? What is the fate of Xingguo? Is it something that can be changed by one person? Yuan Tianshi is overestimated, I will not! And I can tell His Majesty very responsibly, the luck of Xingguo, the prosperity is unstoppable!"

Li Heng's eyes lit up, and his face was radiant, but he didn't ask anything. He just took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I'm promoting the New Deal. Since it's the New Deal, I can't help touching some The interests already in the hands of the people..."

"Your Majesty!" Wu Chen bowed and interrupted Li Heng: "I said before that I have no intention of governing the country, and my ability is not in the court. The court has wise ministers to assist your majesty, and I am suitable to hide in the mountains and guard the court for your majesty." Good yin and yang."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and asked, "If you capture Yuan Shuchun, you must be stronger than him..."

"Your Majesty misunderstood. There is a big difference between me and Yuan Tianshi. He can summon ghosts with his mind, but I can't. For ghosts, he accepts them and I give them away. I won't keep ghosts by my side. I don't know what he does." I understand, he doesn't know how I do it, if I say I'm better than him? That means I have a better brain than him, if it's really a one-on-one, I may not be able to beat him."

Li Heng frowned and said, "I originally thought about building a Taoist temple for you not far from the capital, but it seems I was wrong."

Wu Chen said: "I'm not a Taoist. Besides, what can I do if I just stay in a Taoist temple? One day I can swear to Your Majesty that there will be no more evil spirits in the world of Xingguo, and my life will be over."

Li Heng was actually a little moved. He was silent for a moment and said, "Rest well tonight, and we will investigate this other courtyard and Longgu Mountain tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Li Heng strode out of the room.

Wu Chen endured it for a while, then let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the chair.

……

At dinner time, Datou exerted too much force and was full, so he stroked his stomach to catch up on sleep.

Senior Two and Xu Da looked at a table of bottomless dishes and sighed again and again.

Wu Chen smiled and said, "Just ask the kitchen to cook some more, you two still owe Big Brother a meal."

The second year of high school stared and asked: "What did we two say? Why don't you feel sorry for yourself?"

Xu Dagang was about to say a few more words when Song Gu and Yu Shian pushed the door open and entered.

Wu Chen looked at Yu Shian and snorted.

Yu Shi'an sat down at the table carelessly, and said, "You don't need to look like this, I didn't promise you when you said it, you should think about it."

"In the future when you and I talk together, I have to use my brain to listen carefully?" Wu Chen straightened his waist and asked a little annoyed.

"What's going on?" the sophomore asked curiously.

Song Gu smiled and said, "Some things will be fine once we talk about it."

Yu Shi'an said: "It's not just us who know about the blood corpse birds, but also the people who raise them. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. When the officials find out from other people, it's nothing to me. What about you? There are not enough reasons for the officials to kill you? When I talked about this matter with the officials, I told you about your worries, at least the officials know why you want to hide it, which is much better than someone saying that you have ulterior motives."

Song Gu also said seriously:

"When Deputy Envoy Yu and I met the officials, I could hear from the officials' words that the officials thought you were a rare and useful person. If it was just about Laojieshan, the officials would definitely use you again. , who would have thought that Longgu Mountain and Yuan Tianshi would be pulled out again, the thought behind this is extremely frightening!"

"You are at odds with Chen Zhong again, so why didn't he take the opportunity to deal with you?" Yu Shi'an said angrily, "I heard that he wanted you to enter the palace cleanly, so I went to him to argue, almost Draw your sword and kill him!"

Sophomore and Xu Da were shocked.

Wu Chen said with a smile: "He has had diarrhea for several days. It is easy for you to kill him at this time. When he recovers, you may not be able to beat him."

"you……"

Wu Chen hurriedly cupped his fists and said:
"Don't worry, don't worry, Deputy Envoy Yu is angry at the crown, I appreciate it! Chen Zhong doesn't want me to die, he just wants to hold me tightly in his hands. You can’t talk about the officials. For this matter, you can either punish me to death or protect me with all your strength. How can the officials not see through this trick of borrowing the hands of the officials to deal with me and make me loyal to him?”

"What did the officials tell you? I don't think it's too short a time." Yu Shian asked in a low voice, apparently ignoring Wu Chen's joke.

"I've said a lot, but it can be summed up in two points. One is whether to kill me or not, and the other is how to use me if I don't kill me."

Song Gu took a deep breath and said: "It seems that I have talked so much with Deputy Envoy Yu, but I still can't get enough of Chen Zhong's words."

The second year of high school said: "I think that since the officials can put it in the open, it is unintentional killing."

Song Gu shook his head and said: "The officials really feel that it is difficult to do so. If they have already made a decision, they either don't say anything, or just test it out. Why did you talk with Wu Chen for so long?"
