Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 248 Heartfelt Words (Part [-])
The entrance to the next floor was originally quietly covered in the dust. The secret door was discovered because the fallen silt seeped into the gap. Half of the secret door was pressed by a box. If there was no mud, maybe the boxes on this floor After all the moving, the secret door could not be found.

Wu Chen looked at the opened entrance and shook his head with a smile. He told him to close the secret door, saying that the ignorant have no fear, so we have to think about it from a different angle. Hands are bound, if he finds this entrance first, he will not dare to open it to do other things.

But so far, nothing has happened. Does this mean that there is nothing in it?Or even if there is, it is afraid of light?
Wu Chen wanted a torch, so he lay down on the ground and lowered the torch to the lower floor to look down.

This entrance is a wooden board. After opening it, you can see the wooden ladder going down obliquely. If you go down, you need to use the torch, but the torch can't see very far. You can only see that there are wooden boxes piled under the wooden ladder.

Wu Chen took back the torch and sat cross-legged by the entrance, staring at the soldiers coming in and out in a daze. In fact, he was thinking about what happened during this period of time.

……

I don't know how long it took, but half of the boxes in the dark room were moved out. Xing Yun suddenly sat opposite Wu Chen, which startled Wu Chen.

"Are you okay?" Wu Chen asked in surprise.

"It's okay, I thought I could sleep soundly, you..."

"I'm just sitting for a while, and I'm not in a hurry. I thought of a way. It doesn't take such a risk. You can go back and rest."

Xing Yun turned his head to look at the busy soldiers, then turned back and said in a low voice: "No matter what you think of, you should report it to the official in time. How can you let the official wonder what you are thinking while sitting here?"

Wu Chen blinked, smiled and said:
"From Laojie Mountain to Longgu Mountain, there are several places that I didn't understand, especially this other courtyard. I will take a look at it while I have nothing to do. When the officials ask me, don't ask me if I don't know. Reasonable?"

Xing Yun looked back again, turned his head and lowered his voice, and said:

"I haven't met an opponent since I came to the guard's house. I suddenly met you, and I was too close. Today's old man... If it weren't for you, I would have confessed today. You have saved my life. There is something I have to say, it may be a disaster for you to be so flamboyant."

"Zhang Yang?"

"You don't know how to show weakness..."

"Brother, you and I have the same job. Showing weakness is equivalent to dying. You don't understand this truth? It's just that no one is watching you when you are working. When I am working, there are a bunch of people around. If I show weakness, not only me My life, and the lives of those around me have to be accounted for!"

"Since you called me big brother, I have to say something more. At least you have to show weakness in front of the officials. I have never seen anyone dare to sit on an equal footing with the officials, let alone use the tea bowls of the officials..."

"The old eunuch told you?"

"These actions are all head-to-head!"

"Brother, bastard, you can take the sound of my voice as a particle...it's okay, since you've spoken to me from the bottom of your heart, I'll tell you the truth." Wu Chen looked around and looked around again. He continued in a low voice: "The officials are smart people. It's useless to try to hide them! Let me make an analogy. I'm sitting here in a daze. Those soldiers are busy. Who will report to the officials? The officials Why did you invite you here on sick leave? It’s just because we are already close friends. If you ask me, I will tell the truth. If others ask, even if I answer, will the officials believe it? So, what? It's just like..."

"Then you shouldn't use the official teacup..."

"I'm a beggar, what rules can I know? It's not bad if I don't pat the official on the shoulder when I get excited."

"you……"

"So I have self-knowledge. I can't go to court, and I don't understand government affairs. I can't get on the stage with this ability. I just want to keep Yin and Yang in check. Everyone has their own position when they are born. Just like you, you were born as a guard. The official family, the official family is born to sit on the dragon chair, and I was born to guard the yin and yang gate, human beings and ghosts have different paths, so it is better not to disturb each other."

Xing Yun wanted to say something, opened and closed his mouth a few times, finally stood up with a sigh and said: "In the future, you have to learn to look at me and act."

Wu Chen stood up with a smile and said:

"I'll try my best. I'll go back to the official's house with you. You can rest as soon as possible. The official's house has to rest. I'm afraid it won't be until dawn when all this floor is moved. That's fine. I have time to arrange things for the next floor. , and have time to deal with those four monsters..."

"Has anyone ever told you that you talk a lot?"

"Not really. Every time I speak, people who listen are very serious."

The two of them walked towards the warehouse while talking.

Xing Yun snorted.

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"As a personal bodyguard, shouldn't you cherish your words like gold? I think you talk a lot."

"What I should say for a year, I told you today."

"I'm so honored!"

"Since you called me big brother..."

"No, it's called big brother, sometimes..."

"I know you just came from love, don't call me like that in the future, remember?" Xing Yun whispered in Wu Chen's ear.

Wu Chen took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

……

Li Heng had already returned to the courtyard where he lived, but he hadn't rested yet.

After Xing Yun stepped forward to salute, Li Heng said "Thanks for your hard work" and let Xing Yun go down to rest.

As soon as Xing Yun went down, Li Heng said, "Before it gets dark tomorrow night, we must leave for the capital."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, made a long 'um', and said:
"I roughly looked at the next floor. The walls are rocks, separated from the upper floor by thick wooden boards. I thought that after the boxes on this floor were lifted, I would set a fire to burn the boards on this floor, and then bring them over. Some water, the lower layer should be relatively humid, and with the water we put in, the wooden boxes on the lower layer will not burn so quickly, but without wooden ladders, it will be more difficult to lift the wooden boxes up than it is now, then The secret passage leading to the warehouse is a little narrower, so you can't carry the boxes side by side, otherwise you can go faster."

"In this way, no matter what is on the next floor, after being burned, poured with water, and with the light of the torch, it will be nothing to be afraid of." Li Heng sat on the top seat, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

"This is also the fastest way to expose the next floor," Wu Chen said, sitting in front of Li Heng: "I looked at the exit with the wooden ladder, and I want to lift boxes one by one. I carried it for a few days, and it was in disrepair for a long time, and it was not strong enough. I knew that His Majesty was in a hurry, so I thought of this method, but I didn't expect that His Majesty was in such a hurry, and wanted to get all the boxes from the next floor up. Finish within an hour, then find some thicker hemp ropes and hang them up!"

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Liu Jinzhong: "Here comes a pot of warm water."
