Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 313 Who Came? (one more)
"Just now I had to watch my body being mutilated into thousands of pieces. Why did you suddenly mention the old relationship again? Speaking of the old relationship, don't worry, today is the 'eight knife punishment'. I will repay your favor. Leave honestly, otherwise...the three clans of you will not be stopped. If you don't leave, your clansmen will be executed here in the future. I will let you float here and see their heads fall with your own eyes."

The veins on Chen Zhong's face were almost bursting. He stared fiercely at Wu Chen, suddenly yelled, and then raised his head and shouted, "Why did you let me meet him!"

Wu Chen took two steps back and said, "Think clearly, the execution is about to begin."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, the guard behind him stepped forward and said in a low voice, "The hour is coming, Deputy Envoy Wu should come and watch the execution."

Wu Chen followed the guards expressionlessly and sat on the outermost chair, completely ignoring the eyes of the officials looking at him.

Two executioners were already in place, and two baskets of sharp scimitars were carried to the sides of Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun. The guards bent down and introduced to the officials:
"There are eight knives in the basket, all numbered. The first knife cuts the chest, the second knife cuts the top of the left arm, the third knife cuts the root of the left leg, the fourth and fifth knife cuts the forearm to the elbow, both arms, the sixth and seventh knife cuts the calf to the knee, and the eighth knife cuts the head! Then the dismembered corpses are put back into the basket, and the head will be displayed for a few days..."

The guard stood beside Wu Chen, speaking in a confident voice, not only Wu Chen and the officials could hear clearly, but Chen Zhong could also hear it. Before the guard finished speaking, Chen Zhong tilted his head, and Wu Chen immediately saw the speed of light. He stood up and looked nervously into the air.

All the officials who came to observe the execution had never left Wu Chen's eyes since Wu Chen arrived. Seeing him suddenly stand up and look towards the sky, these officials stood up unconsciously and looked towards the sky.

The onlookers saw a strange scene. Not far away, all the officials stood up and looked towards the sky with solemn expressions. Someone suddenly shouted: "The Bodhisattva has appeared!"

The onlookers knelt on the ground one after another, some kowtowed and bumped into the ass of the person in front of them, some knelt down to the person behind them... For a moment, auspicious words and curse words were mixed together, and the street suddenly seemed like water poured into a pot of hot oil, it was more than boiling!
Wu Chen stared at the light beam, and within a blink of an eye, Chen Zhong appeared in the light beam. He glanced coldly at Wu Chen, still muttering something, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing else in the sky.

Wu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and stared blankly at the mid-air for a while. He didn't know how technical his job was, but just looking at the present, it was inevitable to be cheated.

Wu Chen shook his head and looked around, startled.

The guard hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Vice Envoy Wu looked at the sky, and everyone followed suit. The common people thought it was a Bodhisattva."

Wu Chen said angrily, "It's also the god of death from hell..."

The guard hurriedly shouted: "It's not that the Bodhisattva appeared. Chen Zhong has committed a lot of crimes and was forcibly dragged away by Black and White Wuchang just now."

Wu Chen' Huh? With a cry, he turned his head to look at the guard with wide eyes, and the executioner hurriedly tested Chen Zhong's breath, saying that I haven't done anything yet!
After trying it, the executioner was shocked, turned to look at the officials, and shouted: "Dead!"

This time it became even more lively, the officials were dumbfounded for a moment, and then chattered, the officials were going to execute the "eight knife punishment", there was no knife for this knife, it was dead!How to explain it to officials?

These officials muttered in a low voice. When the people below heard that Black and White Impermanence, they hurriedly stood up, so as not to push each other. Seeing that several people were about to fight, Wu Chen shouted: "Be honest, I see that there is still room in that Black and White Impermanence car. Who of you wants to follow?"

Suddenly, there was silence.

Wu Chen sat down again and said, "Isn't there still one alive? Let's execute it!"

……

Yuan Shuchun ran out of breath after persisting until the third cut, and entered the beam honestly. Wu Chen was not interested in what to do next, so he got up and left. He knew the way into the palace, and he didn't need the guards to lead the way.

Wu Chen passed through the crowd, and the people gave way automatically. Wu Chen strode forward, and there were waves of urging voices behind him, but Wu Chen pretended not to hear them.

After walking for a while, the guards chased after him, followed by Gao Er and Xu Da, Gao Er asked, "Why didn't you faint today?"

Wu Chen turned his head to look at the sophomore, then looked back and asked, "Where's Big Brother?"

"Gu Shiming sent him home, the third and fourth will follow, don't worry." Xu Da said.

The second year of high school seemed to suddenly understand something, and asked anxiously: "They died, but their souls haven't left?"

The guard was startled and looked around nervously.

Wu Chen frowned and said, "It's not been a day or two since you've been with me. Every time you faint, don't you just send the ghost away? Today, you sent the two of them away and it's not a ghost."

The sophomore in high school breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then I'm relieved, if you really stay here, you won't be able to sleep again."

Xu Da asked: "What did you spread around Chen Zhong just now?"

"I have some cake for breakfast today, let me crush it and sprinkle it casually."

The second year of high school quickly said: "I think Chen Zhong was terrified at that time, you must have lied to him."

Wu Chen smiled and didn't speak.

Xu Da asked: "If you don't go home to catch up on sleep, what are you going to do in the palace? The officials will know what happened on the execution ground."

"I'm going to talk to the officials and leave the capital as soon as possible to investigate the case."

Senior Two and Xu Da glanced at each other, Xu Da hesitated and asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing Xu Da's expression, Wu Chen thought of the sophomore and Xu Dagang not long after returning home, so he hurriedly said:
"The two of you stay in the capital for a few more days. I'll go out and have a look first. I might not know where I'll stay. It won't be too late for you to come over when the time comes. I have the final say on this matter."

The guard walked aside and asked wonderingly: "Deputy Envoy Wu, we have horses, why do we have to leave?"

……

Li Heng really knew everything that happened on the execution ground very quickly. When Wu Chen saw Li Heng, Li Heng's face was still full of anger.

"It's a pity that I didn't make them suffer more, but this kind of deterrence is more powerful, so don't be annoyed." Wu Chen sat down on the chair before the collapse.

Li Heng asked, "Going away?"

"gone!"

"If you don't scare me, I'm afraid Chen Zhong won't leave?"

"He said he wanted to wait to see the old hag in the harem tear me to pieces!"

As Wu Chen spoke calmly, Li Heng tried his best to control himself so that he didn't throw the memorial in Wu Chen's face.

"Don't be annoyed, Your Majesty. I'm just repeating the original words. After he said this, I knew he didn't want to leave. He was unwilling, so I made a small plan to let him know that he was afraid. I didn't expect him to be frightened to death after hearing the execution process. I also think that he shouldn't have thought of staying after death. He stayed just to watch my body be broken into pieces? I don't believe it! But he is cunning, I still have to make some preparations in advance."
