Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 242 Preparation (Second Update)
Wu Chen pointed to the iron gate at the end and said:
"If the iron gate is destroyed, the river water will naturally flow back into the tunnel, and the bottom of the river will be revealed. The four monsters are most afraid of light, and there is sunlight shining on them. I don't need to do anything. Just pretend that they don't exist, and then dig the bottom of the river. If there is a dark room, it will definitely be dug out, no matter where the entrance of the secret passage is, I just slap down, and it will be the entrance, and when I enter the secret room, all the answers will come out."

Xing Yun pointed to the iron gate and asked, "How to destroy the iron gate? I tried it before, and the iron plate is thick. If you can't find a way to open it, it may be difficult to destroy the iron gate by hand."

Wu Chen said: "I'll go and see first. Destroying it shouldn't be the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is how to destroy it without drowning."

……

Li Heng was sitting by the river, with the old eunuch serving at the side, and the people who followed him before came back one after another.

I don't know how many times these people have gone this secret passage, but this time they are just playing with the officials, and they don't need to report anything, so they will come back sooner.

Wu Chen was still by the iron gate in the secret passage, discussing with Xing Yun how to keep his life but still bring in the river water.

"...We still need to find someone to dig down the secret passage and dig out a slope so that the ground in the secret passage is lower than the bottom of the river, so that the water can flow back. The road in the secret passage is lower, so the water level here will not be too high. Gao, even if I can't leave right away, I won't drown, as long as I have a rope on my body and don't get swept away by the river."

Xing Yun frowned and asked, "Can you knock down this iron gate by yourself?"

"I can't push it down! There used to be a dark room in front of the iron gate to prevent the iron gate from standing directly in the water, but the air humidity is too high, the iron gate will inevitably rust, and it is stuck in the mountain. It is too difficult to push down. I can only Shoot a few holes, preferably down here, but I can't exert my strength in this position."

Wu Chen squatted down and tried it, then stood up again and said, "Today, order someone to dig down the terrain in the secret tunnel. The lower the better, I'll try it after dawn tomorrow..."

"Try it? If you are not sure, be careful to enter the palace cleanly!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't give up. It's hard to find someone as smart as me! Besides, the methods are all tried out. You know that the iron gate is thick..."

"If I join forces with you..."

"Take a rest, you are beside me, I have to think about not hurting you when exerting strength, it is really troublesome."

"you……"

"Go up, Your Majesty should be in a hurry."

……

Wu Chen shared his idea with Li Heng, today he will dig the tunnel first, and tomorrow he will destroy the iron gate and dig the bottom of the river. If he is lucky, he will see the hidden silver tomorrow. If tomorrow is not successful, Wu Chen will think of another way.

After listening to Wu Chen's words, Li Heng was silent for a long time and said, "Maybe it can be done in one day?"

Wu Chen immediately thought that Li Heng might have left the palace secretly.

Wu Chen looked at Li Heng who was frowning tightly, then looked up at the sun above his head, and said:

"Send more people down, dig down two feet within an hour, and I will go down and try to destroy the iron gate. As long as the river can be poured back, the rest will be easy to handle. There is no sunshine, we also have torches, and there are many people. , I should be able to deal with those monsters, at worst, I will be beaten again, if I can’t die, let’s do it! Who and who, the two generals, let’s see how many people we can mobilize?”

The old eunuch Liu Jinzhong looked at Wu Chen who was giving orders in surprise, and was about to stop his words when Li Heng said, "It's all at Wu Chen's orders."

……

After Wu Chen made arrangements for the soldiers, he went back to have lunch. He knew that he would have to work hard for a while, and the iron gate was not as easy to destroy as the cave.

As a sophomore in high school, Song Gu and Yu Shi'an were curious to hear what happened because they didn't follow Wu Chen in the morning, but Wu Chen was in a hurry to eat, and had to go to the river to prepare after dinner, so he didn't have time to talk about it, so he just talked about it After a few words, the four wanted to follow, but they couldn't follow without a will, so they could only sit in one place and ponder.

After Wu Chen was full, he hurried back to the river.

Li Heng also went back to eat. Apart from being surrounded by soldiers, there was no mound of soil beside the river. The soil and rocks dug out from the ground should have been transported to the exit.

Li Heng wasn't there, but Chen Zhong was sitting by the river.

Wu Chen walked over with a smile and said, "Si Zun is in a good mood."

"Except for the lack of sex, everything else is pretty good." Chen Zhong said looking at the river.

"I didn't see that you're doing well! As I said before, if the official orders, I will kill you first. I'm not just kidding. Xing Yun is not my opponent."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he walked to the tree. There were several kinds of ropes under the tree. Wu Chen picked them up one by one and looked at them, as if he didn't pay attention to Chen Zhong at all.

Chen Zhong's fair old face twitched, and he said, "I'm protecting your life."

"Then I have to thank Si Zun very much." Wu Chen took a thicker rope and tested the strength. He only used two parts of the force with both hands, and the rope broke instantly.

"I will find a good family for Nanzhu, who will not only be rich and prosperous, but also able to be the master of the family."

Wu Chen picked up another rope, tried it on around his waist, and said, "I thank Si Zun on behalf of Pinggu, but I will decide her marriage, so I don't need Si Zun to worry about it."

"She is my adopted daughter..."

"You're old, and you could still dance for a few more years... let's make a bet." Wu Chen turned his head and looked at Chen Zhong with a smile: "If you can stand up before returning to the capital, I will listen to you Yes, if you tell me to cleanse, I will cleanse myself, and if you let me enter the palace, I will enter the palace. If you fail to stand up..." Wu Chen suppressed his smile and said seriously: "You'd better not meddle in my affairs again , Otherwise, it’s not that I can’t stand up.”

After finishing speaking, Wu Chen turned his head and started fiddling with the rope again.

Chen Zhong's face paled a little, and killing thoughts flashed through his mind immediately, and then his stomach felt cramped...

……

Wu Chen looked at the old eunuch Liu Jinzhong with a smile and several soldiers, holding up unknown leaves and waving them vigorously at the place where Chen Zhong had just left, and some soldiers shoveled and shoveled the ground that Chen Zhong just passed, The shoveled soil was taken away, and then spread with loess dug from unknown where, and sprinkled with water.

Wu Chen knew that Lao Hei could only torment Chen Zhong, but he couldn't kill Chen Zhong, but this torment alone was enough for Chen Zhong to enjoy.

After everything was packed, Li Heng came with Xing Yun.

Li Heng told Wu Chen that the underground passage had been dug, and Wu Chen said that he would go down to have a look first, and as soon as he jumped down, Xing Yun followed.

Wu Chen didn't say anything, the two of them checked along the road, and it was indeed lower than before.

After the two quickly checked and returned to the ground, Wu Chen began to tie a rope around his body, and told Xing Yun to find a few more people to hold the end of the rope, and must send someone to protect the official's house. The thing in the river is really afraid of light. Which tendon is wrong, and suddenly I am not afraid?
