Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 255 Green Light (Part [-])
Song Gu said solemnly: "When you return to the capital, you don't have to wait for you to tell the big head about your marriage. I'm afraid your marriage will be missed by many people, especially the officials."

Wu Chen shrugged and said, "A person like me is fit to die alone, not to have a family."

"You don't have a family, and you still want to be away all year round, how can the officials feel at ease?" Yu Shi'an asked.

"I have a family and children, shouldn't the officials be more worried? It's okay, I can deal with these things when I return to Kyoto."

"Where's Chen Zhong? He..."

"He's nothing to be afraid of." Wu Chen squinted his eyes and said towards the door, "Chen Zhong doesn't support useless subordinates. No matter how much credit this person has made for him, I want to see how the officials will treat him when he is useless." How to treat him?"

"Others are sick, but they still have power in their hands, and their subordinates still have to obey orders. As long as their brains are not bad, they are not useless." Song Gu said.

"You don't have to worry about this, hurry up, I'll take care of those four monsters."

Yu Shi'an and Song Gu glanced at each other, and Yu Shi'an said to Song Gu, "It's difficult for Wu Chen to deal with those four by himself. We have to keep you and me as helpers. It's too late to report this matter to the officials, but it won't take long. The two of us can only reluctantly agree."

Song Gu nodded solemnly, and said to Wu Chen, "Let's go."

Wu Chen smiled, and walked ahead to lead the way, saying as he walked, "Here comes the blocker."

As soon as the words were finished, Qu Qi hurried into the yard, bowed his hands to the three of them and said, "Vice Envoy Yu, Song Tixing, I have arranged soldiers to escort the two of you to Beijing."

Yu Shian chuckled and said:

"There is General Lao Qu. If you think so carefully, then order the soldiers to stand by. Song Tixing and I still need to help Mr. Wu get rid of the monsters in the river. Originally, there were Gao Er and Xu Dazai, so they don't need me. Both of you were seriously injured, and you people can't count on it, Song Tixing and I can only stay a little longer."

Cookie frowned and said: "The rest of the matter will be helped by the soldiers of the new army, and the commander has ordered..."

"When will my Privy Council listen to the orders of the Imperial City Secretary?" Yu Shi'an asked with a downcast face.

Cookie still had to explain, Wu Chen asked impatiently:

"Did the official order you to obey me? Oh, I forgot, you only obey the order and the boss. The official's words are not good for you. I can't use you. I'm afraid the rest of the job will be difficult." It's done, I forgot to tell the officials about such an important matter."

As soon as the big hat was buttoned off, Cookie panicked immediately, clasped his hands together and said, "Mr. Wu is on business, but please dispatch, Cookie can do anything."

"Take care of your soldiers. The boxes on the next floor must be damaged, but the gold and silver in the boxes are all the same. The officials have personally tested them. Don't miss the count when your soldiers are carrying them. There is no need to wear armor anymore."

Cookie bowed and stepped back.

Song Gu asked in a low voice: "Whether Deputy Envoy Yu and I leave or not, what does it matter to him? Why should he bother with such trivial matters?"

Wu Chen walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said, "Sometimes the enemy is just a paper tiger. They look like bluffs, but they can't help me. They're just disgusting and disgusting."

Thinking of those four monsters, Yu Shi'an hurriedly asked, "Are you confident that you can take care of those four monsters?"

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as long as they occupy the same, there will be something that can overcome them."

……

Right now it was exactly noon, and those four things were still lying there as if they had been thrown into the mud by Wu Chen in the morning.

Wu Chen stood on the bank and looked up at the sky, then turned his head and shouted to the soldiers guarding nearby: "Go get the torch."

Then he walked down the mud, found the end of the rope, and dragged the four monsters, together with some planks, to the river bank.

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an originally stood watching from the sidelines, but at this moment they couldn't help but walked closer to take a closer look at the giant.

Song Gu frowned and said, "Why is this still growing with the plank?"

Wu Chen said with a smile: "I haven't been able to find the weakness of this thing. I only found out last night that their Achilles' heel lies in the soles of their feet."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he asked Song Gu for a long sword, and swung the sword at the joint between the giant's feet and the wooden plank.

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an didn't hear a weak scream, but how could it escape Wu Chen's ears?

"They were originally in the dark room, how could they come across the pond?" Yu Shi'an asked.

Wu Chen walked to the foot of the next giant, repeated the action just now, and said while chopping:

"I can't figure it out either. I thought it was Yuan Tianshi who was released after falling into the water. Last night, I found out that they stayed in the darkroom and took care of the darkroom. But they can't leave the water for too long. Playing in two places in the pond, maybe Yuan Tianshi fell into the water and lured them out of the dark room, but how they got out, I don’t know, they happened to meet a stranger they could recognize, and they went ashore.”

"Going ashore to kill you?" Song Gu asked.

Wu Chen shook his head, walked to the foot of the next giant and said, "I didn't go to the darkroom. They probably didn't go ashore to kill me. They wanted to break free from the prisons on their bodies. Fingernails and hair were all prisons. They also wanted to be free."

"You mean they were also trained like this?" Song Gu asked.

Wu Chen nodded and walked to the foot of the fourth giant: "But I'm sure it's not Tianshi Yuan. The female ghost knows who it is, but she won't say it."

"If so, wouldn't there be disasters?" Song Gu asked with a frown.

Wu Chen stood up and said with a smile:
"Otherwise, how could I survive? Dare to confront Chen Zhong? The officials are very clear that this matter is far from over. As I said before, the female ghost doesn't mind Yuan Tianshi and the eldest princess being arrested. She doesn't even care about Su Chang being arrested, these people are not enough to touch her roots, what does she care about?"

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"They have been preparing for so long. They really only want to kill the officials. They have been able to do it a long time ago. After all, what they really want is Jiangshan. But the two of you have been officials for many years. Do you see anything wrong? Or where there is something wrong? Hidden danger?"

The two shook their heads again.

"Our official family is not simple!" Wu Chen sighed.

The soldier brought the torch and stood not far away, Wu Chen waved, the soldier handed the torch to Wu Chen and ran back to the original place.

"You want to burn them?" Song Gu asked.

"If they can grow together with the board, they are of the same kind. They have no humanity, but they are also infinitely powerful. A shot is a life, and they cannot be kept."

Wu Chen tried to light the wooden planks, but the wooden planks had been soaked in wet mud for several hours, and they were very damp. Wu Chen couldn't light them after several attempts, so he ordered the soldiers to fetch some firewood.

……

The raging fire started, Wu Chen saw the green light for the first time, four red lights the size of wicks went straight to the green light, Wu Chen fell to the ground straight.

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an knew that Wu Chen had this problem, but every time they had the sophomore by their side, they were worried that they would be appeased by the sophomore. This time without the sophomore and Xu Da, they panicked a little.
