Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 287
Yu Shi'an's mood that had been less stable just now fluctuated again, and he said excitedly:
"Yuanniang is not yet eight years old. Prince Cheng forced me to do these things, saying that he would give me back a healthy Yuanniang after he ascended the throne. I, I don't know how Yuanniang is doing now!"

"You don't know where Prince Cheng is now?"

"do not know!"

"He only asked you to stall for time, and changed Su Chang, and didn't ask you to do anything else? How did he give you orders?"

"When I first arrived in Yang'an County, I received a letter. Later, the soldier next to me was the one who entered the cave with us. He was the prince who became a prince, and he passed on the news to me."

Song Gu said with an 'oh', "So you sent out all the real soldiers, but left that man by your side alone."

Yu Shian sighed and said:
"I really thought about it at the time. That night must be dangerous. I could find an opportunity to kill that soldier, but...the soldier protected my life several times when he was in the Taoist temple. When he really got to the cave, I went down to the cave. I won't do it anymore."

"When was the last time you saw Prince Cheng?" Wu Chen asked.

"After the five-color jade case spread to the capital, he ordered someone to secretly send me a letter to see him. I went, and he confided in me, saying that Emperor Zhongzong wanted to pass on the throne to him, but the first emperor used it. The insidious method forced Zhongzong to pass the throne to the first emperor. Before his death, Zhongzong thought about it, but he also knew that nothing could be changed, so he left a will for Prince Cheng. Duan, the throne can be abolished immediately..."

"Have you ever seen this will?"

Yu Shian shook his head and said:

"Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has always been this kind of rhetoric. Whether it is the first emperor or the official family, at least I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I just care about Yuan Niang. Prince Cheng said that if he didn't tell me about this matter, he would immediately You can let Yuan Niang go with me, but I already know about it, so I can’t let Yuan Niang go, and said it’s not for him, there are many people who follow him, if you let me go, these people’s lives It was like holding it in my hands. He couldn't do this. I said you killed me and let Yuan Niang go. He said, "How difficult is it for you to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council? How can you give up so easily?" I asked What on earth does he want me to do? He said kindly that he would not let me kill anyone, nor would he let me raise troops, he just wanted to win the opportunity to go to Yang'an County and keep an eye on the investigators."

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "But then he arranged a task for you."

"Yes, in fact, in the final analysis, he didn't expect that you would really understand Lao Jieshan so well. Since you started investigating the case, all his plans have changed, and he used me as a last resort. He knew something. Even if he kills me, I won't do it, and it won't do him any good if he angers me."

Wu Chen pointed to the table of food in front of him and asked, "Then is this table of food poisonous?"

"No! I never wanted to harm you."

"Then why did you come back so late, didn't you wait for Song Tixing and I to eat poisonous food?"

"If it's poisonous, why would I come here again? I don't need to know anything from you. I came late because, because I really couldn't continue acting, and I was worried about Yuanniang's safety, so I rode alone Turned around the street a few times."

"You sometimes make mistakes!"

Gao Er's voice came from the roof, and after a while, Gao Er and Xu Da pushed the door and came in.

Wu Chen scratched his forehead in embarrassment, and said, "Hurry up, sit down, let's eat together! Let Uncle Qin add two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and stop drinking for now. After Yuanniang is rescued, treat us to a drink again!" "

Yu Shi'an couldn't understand, he asked in astonishment: "You, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean by this? I'll protect you!" The sophomore sat down and grabbed a piece of meat with his hands and put it in his mouth.

"Yes, at the official's house..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"You are different from Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong doesn't care what the reason is. He has been a prince for many years. You are only temporarily arrested and used. As long as you are willing to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, I will guarantee that you will be fine! What if the officials insist on it? I will rescue you, let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers..."

"Don't move around and let me farm." Datou yawned and walked from the back room to the table and sat down.

Wu Chen was taken aback, and asked, "If you weren't resting in your own yard, how could you come to my place?"

The big head picked up the chopsticks and said: "I thought you would definitely eat when you came back, so I came to your room and waited, but fell asleep while waiting."

The sophomore looked at Wu Chen in surprise and asked, "You don't know that there is someone lying in your room?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "I really didn't notice."

Xu Da said:
"The two of us went to Datou's house first, and found no one. We were really shocked. We thought we were a step late. When we found you, we found Datou lying there sleeping soundly, so we were relieved. Just now We both heard what you said, I'm afraid that the position of Vice Envoy Yu will not be kept, alas."

Yu Shi'an lowered his head and said, "As long as Yuanniang can be rescued, the officials can do whatever they want with me."

"Let's eat first, let's not talk about this, is Uncle Qin yours?" Wu Chen asked.

Yu Shi'an said: "The only people I brought here are Uncle Qin, and the others are all people who were waiting at my house when I went back last night."

"Eat first, I'll go and have a look."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he left the room.

Song Gu patted Yu Shi'an on the shoulder and said, "It's been a difficult time for you. To be honest, I didn't see it at all."

The second year of high school was full of food, chewed hard and swallowed, and said, "It's not that there is no flaw, it's that we have no doubts about Deputy Envoy Yu."

Yu Shi'an smiled wryly: "Sometimes when I'm talking to you, I forget that I still have such a layer of identity. When I think about it, I feel uncomfortable, alas!"

Xu Da said: "As a matter of fact, Deputy Envoy Yu should have talked to Brother Wu a long time ago. The sooner you say it, the easier it is to deal with it. Now that many things have been found out, even Chen Zhong has been found out, some things will be much more difficult to handle. "

"I know, I've thought about it along the way, but why is it so easy to talk about it? Besides, Wu Chen doesn't even have much time to eat and sleep, so I..."

"It's useless to talk about it now." The sophomore waved his hand: "Since Brother Wu said it's okay, then it's okay, hurry up and eat..."

"I haven't asked yet, why did you two come to find Datou?" Song Gu asked holding up his chopsticks.

Xu Da laughed and said:

"Brother Wu knows that Deputy Envoy Yu can't help himself, but the house is full of Deputy Envoy Yu's people. He is afraid that it will be bad for the big head tonight. He said that these people in the yard will not do anything to defend tonight. After all, they haven't broken through yet. We The two can find a chance to come in and protect the big head, I can tell by his appearance, he is going to have a talk with Deputy Envoy Yu tonight."

"That is to say, the officials don't know yet?" Song Gu asked.
