Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 285 Original (one update)
"Go back to the inn, my new home is very spacious, how can I live without you?" Wu Chen dragged Song Gu and walked outside.

Gu Shiming quit, he stopped Wu Chen and said, "You can't do this, half-talking is enough to make people uncomfortable, half-doing what you do is enough to make people go back to sleep?"

"What do you want to know?" Wu Chen asked.

Gu Shiming thought for a while and asked, "What did you say to the officials when you entered the palace?"

"No comment, but you asked me this question, I will tell the official, what else is there?"

Gu Shiming was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "I don't want to know what the official said to you, I just want to know what you said to the official, no, oops!"

"Sooner or later, the crown prince will sell you clean!"

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he took Song Gu's arm and left.

Senior Two, Xu Dachao, Yu Shian and Gu Shiming cupped their hands and left.

Yu Shi'an patted Gu Shiming on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will find out tomorrow."

Gu Shiming's shoulders collapsed, and he said, "You will know everything you can know tomorrow, what's the use of keeping me?!"

"If you can stay, it will be useful sooner or later. Don't be in a hurry. Wu Chen seems to be doing things without rules, but in fact he is not. He naturally has a reason for doing what he does."

"No, I have to ask tonight."

Gu Shiming was about to leave as he spoke, but was stopped by Yu Shi'an and persuaded him: "You may be able to find out a thing or two if you go to him, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be by his side in the future."

Gu Shiming blinked and asked, "Why?"

"The people around Wu Chen never chase after him, including me."

Gu Shiming looked at Yu Shi'an, and asked in disbelief: "Even Deputy Envoy Yu dares to..."

Yu Shi'an laughed and said, "Wu Chen doesn't have an official position in his mind. If you trust him, don't ask. Just do it. When the matter is finished, he will explain himself. If you keep asking, he will be annoyed. If you say you still have to Can you keep it?"

Gu Shiming took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll bear it for now."

……

Wu Chen took Song Gu back to his new home, and the big head fell asleep early.

Yu Shi'an's servant is indeed capable. When he left in the morning, he only had three courtyards, an empty room, with withered vines and grass, but when Wu Chen came back, he was in good shape.

Uncle Qin, Yu Shi'an's old housekeeper, greeted Wu Chen. He took Wu Chen to look around first, and said that he didn't expect Song Tixing to come to live. Well, I'm afraid that Wu Chen will be hungry when he comes back, and he will be hot on the stove all the time.

Wu Chen asked about Datou's situation.

Uncle Qin said that Datou has his own yard, which is very close to the back garden. After dinner, Datou went to the garden to play for a while, and then went back to his room to sleep.

Uncle Qin answered respectfully, but Wu Chen sighed softly, and then said, "Song Tixing and I didn't have dinner, so some water will be brought here first, and we both can wash up briefly, and then eat."

Since he didn't want to go any further, Uncle Qin hurriedly brought the two of them to Wu Chen's yard.

Wu Chen lives in the square in the courtyard, the house faces south, the west room is a bedroom, the east room is a study, and the middle is a living room.

Wu Chen and Song Gu entered the room, the water was ready, they washed their hands and faces, and then sat directly at the round table in the hall, waiting for dinner.

Uncle Qin brought the dinner with his own hands, and heated up another pot of wine. Wu Chen and Song Gu each placed a small wine cup in front of them. Wu Chen said, "Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a wine cup."

Uncle Qin hurriedly asked: "Deputy Envoy Wu still has friends coming?"

"It should be your master who will come."

Uncle Qin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare.

"I have to trouble Uncle Qin to wait for your master at the gate." Wu Chen said gently.

Uncle Qin bowed and retreated.

Song Gu smiled and said, "Vice Envoy Yu is probably like Gu Shiming, wanting to know what you did tonight."

As he said that, Song Gu picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "I won't be polite to you. It stands to reason that the host didn't move the chopsticks. I, the guest, shouldn't have moved first, but I'm really hungry..."

Wu Chen pressed Song Gu's hand holding the chopsticks, listened carefully, and then said seriously: "Wait a minute, I can eat this meal, but you may not."

Song Gu frowned, and quickly put down his chopsticks.

Before Song Gu could ask anything, Wu Chen said first, "Song Tixing, does it blame me for involving you in this case?"

"Why do you say such things again?" Song Gu was puzzled.

"I also hesitated for a long time. Should I call you tonight? There must be someone to testify, and Song Tixing is the best candidate. There may be a little danger. Song Tixing must believe that I can protect you. Well, don’t eat this meal, even if I eat it, you don’t want to eat it, and be vigilant at all times.”

Song Gu usually only needs to mention a little bit from Wu Chen, and he will think of the key points. Tonight, when Song Gu was dragged back by Wu Chen, his heart was full of doubts, but now he just looked at Wu Chen in a daze. .

"I know it's hard for you to accept, and I'm the same. I hope I'm thinking too much, but looking at it now, I don't think I'm thinking too much."

Wu Chen picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewed slowly and said:
"After we leave the Investigation Department, he should come out soon. According to the time, he should arrive when you and I wash our hands, but he hasn't shown up yet..."

"Maybe, he didn't want to come." Song Gu said anxiously.

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"I deliberately pulled you away, only Gu Shiming stopped me from asking questions in a hurry, and he didn't say anything. Before when we were in a critical moment, I would only talk about what to do. You wouldn't ask the reason, but just take care of it. Do it, but it was not a critical moment just now, I left without saying anything, if I hadn't pulled you, you would have asked nothing? Right now, all the servants in this house are brought by him..."

"You can't infer what he is like just because of this?"

"Of course it's not just because of this...he's here."

Song Gu let out an 'ah', and then sighed again.

Wu Chen whispered, "I hope there is still time."

Song Gu looked at Wu Chen, Wu Chen smiled wryly, "I hope he got involved just now, in that case, maybe it's too late, but..."

"Su Chang was sent by his people! And at that time, he sent me away, it seemed that it was for you, but in fact it was for his convenience!" Song Gu finally came to his senses.

Wu Chen let out a long breath and didn't speak.

"How did you know I would come?" Yu Shi'an's voice came from the yard.

Uncle Qin pushed open the door, and Yu Shi'an walked in with a smile.

Wu Chen said with a smile: "Gu Shiming is curious, can you not worry about it? This house is now yours, you think it's the same as going back to your own home, sit down!"

"How is this dish? Why haven't you eaten much?" Yu Shi'an sat down and looked at the dishes on the table and asked.

Wu Chen said: "I wanted to wait for you to come, but I didn't know you were so slow. I couldn't help but taste the fish. It tasted pretty good."
