Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 275 What Chen Zhong Cares About (Part [-])
Wu Chen nodded and said:

"This old bastard is ruthless, he will not be soft-handed, and he is meticulous in his thoughts. Naturally, he can hide what can be concealed. When I saw the secret room in the cell, what I thought was that he didn't just want a confession, he also needed other information. If there is no need to hide it from people, why bother to set up a secret room for people to write something? Since it is hidden, it cannot be known by the officials. What things cannot be known by the officials? There are five-color jade stones lost in the inner treasury... I wonder why he was so anxious to deal with me all of a sudden, and then so anxious to kill me? He knows that if I investigate this case, he will soon reveal it."

"You mean, he arranged for us to be attacked halfway?" Song Gu asked.

Wu Chen nodded.

"Then why did he ask you to investigate Laojie Mountain?" Gu Shiming asked with a frown.

"If I don't go, how can their plan succeed? Besides me, who can catch Su Chang and confess him as a fake prince?"

The sophomore scratched his head: "The more I listen, the more confused I become! Who can explain it to me more clearly?"

Song Gu smiled and said:

"Now it can be concluded that Prince Cheng's calculation of Yuan Shuchun should have been understood by Prince Cheng long ago, so Prince Cheng went down the slope and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Shuchun. Thinking about it now, what they want is time, regardless of whether Yuan Shuchun is still Prince Cheng, they They are all waiting for the officials to investigate the fake Prince Cheng..."

"That's not right, if you want time, then just do it like before, right? What are you fussing about?" asked the sophomore.

"But Yuan Tianshi didn't want to. He knew that once it was time to prepare, he would have no chance to think about it, so he came up with a way to get rid of the golden cicada's shell. People who think themselves smart often think that others are stupid, so he doesn't think about it. How can it be airtight? It is normal for Prince Cheng to receive the news. If he finds out and breaks up with Yuan Shuchun, then there is no need for officials to take action. That's why Prince Cheng took the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Tianshi and Princess Dachang, it can be seen that Prince Cheng's preparations are almost done."

Wu Chen paused and said:
"If this case is always investigated by Lin Huai'an, or someone else, the easiest way is to destroy Laojie Mountain and bring along Su Chang. In that way, it is easy to miss Zhenggui who do not have black worms. If they are scattered among the people , that's not a joke, what will happen if the officials are in a hurry?"

"The Taoist temples in Xingguo are busy, and there may be Taoist priests everywhere in the country." Gao Er said.

"This kind of thing will definitely be spread like crazy. It's not easy for Prince Cheng to take any action. This kind of chaos is not what Prince Cheng wants. It's hard to explain the usurpation of the throne. Coupled with this kind of timing, he can just wash it off." It's not clean, but if you don't move, it will be bad if those Taoist priests who want to do meritorious service find out, so I think they have planned for me to investigate the case, step by step, but they didn't expect it I can also look up things they don't want me to look up."

"That's not right. We escorted those fake weapons to Hezhou. The journey was dangerous, and we also encountered Zheng ghosts on the way. At that time, no one knew that you could deal with Zheng ghosts. It was a near-death situation. You still said that Si Zun already knew that the Ghost Mandrill Gang used their wealth, and the more so, the more it means that what we escorted were fake weapons." Said the sophomore.

"That's right, how could Chen Zhong know that I can deal with Zheng ghosts?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

Song Gu thought for a while and replied: "Because Chen Zhong knew that there were Zheng ghosts in Laojie Mountain, and he wanted to see if you could do it. If you are capable of dealing with it, you can go to Laojie Mountain. If you are not capable of dealing with it... "

"He knows that I can handle it. You may not believe it. My life and death are tied to Chen Zhong. Let alone my death. As long as he thinks about killing me, he will definitely suffer some shock or illness. He knows that , but asked me to escort the fake weapons to Hezhou, but he didn't respond, which meant that I would be fine. Of course, what Song Tixing said was right, he needed to verify whether I could deal with Zheng ghosts, so that he could deduce that I had arrived How far will Anping County go?"

The hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone's focus was on 'Life and death are tied together! '

"You, are you saying that if Si Zun is executed, you won't survive?" Gao Er asked tremblingly.

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether he dies or not, but if he has thoughts that make me bad, he will suffer himself, especially the thoughts of killing."

Song Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then do you still need to go to Yizhuang tonight?"

"Of course I'm going, I always want to see if there are people like Yuan Tianshi on his side."

Yu Shi'an asked: "There is still some time before dark, shall we try him first?"

Wu Chen shrugged and said, "Do you think he will tell the truth?"

Song Gu asked puzzledly: "It stands to reason that he is already very good with the official family, why should he seek refuge with Prince Cheng?"

Wu Chen snorted and said, "Don't worry about the reason, becoming a prince must be more important than being an official in his heart. Since he has done it, he knows the consequences. Now that he is sure to die, how can he say anything more?"

The second year of high school hesitated to speak, Wu Chen said: "Don't worry about those tortures, I'm not Chen Zhong... By the way, when the eunuchs in the palace purified themselves, didn't they all keep their descendants and grandchildren, thinking about waiting for the day when they die?" Can it be buried in one place, can it be regarded as complete?"

As soon as Wu Chen said these words, Chen Zhong who was lying on the ground moved.

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an saw it, and Gu Shiming also saw it. How shrewd these three people are, Gu Shiming hurriedly said: "There is a saying that the most important thing right now is to take care of all his subordinates in the palace, and order When someone finds the roots of his descendants, alas, after so many years, I don’t know if they are still there.”

Yu Shi'an said: "If he's an ordinary old eunuch, maybe it's really hard to say. With the power in his hands, isn't that pot still protected like a treasure?"

Song Gu said: "Actually, there is no need to look for it. Chen Zhong committed a lot of crimes. It is wishful thinking to find a place to bury him after his death, and to bury his descendants together."

Gu Shiming nodded and said: "It's better to burn it, so as to destroy the bones and ashes. Even if his people want to dig up the grave and secretly put his descendants in it, they can't. This is how to relieve hatred!"

Chen Zhong struggled to sit up and glared at Gu Shiming.

Wu Chen pretended not to see it and said:

"Liu Jinzhong is in the palace to deal with it. Those under Chen Zhong don't want to spread any news. Bingjing Wu is already doing business in the palace...Of course, his people are not only these eunuchs, but there will be others outside, but I think It doesn't matter."

As Wu Chen spoke, his eyes were fixed on Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong stared at Gu Shiming at first, after Wu Chen spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at Wu Chen, his eyes met, the more Wu Chen said the more he smiled, and when Wu Chen finished speaking, Chen Zhong squeezed out a sentence Saying: "I should have killed you long ago!"
