Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 341 The Cowardly Second Year of High School (Part [-])
Shang Gong thought for a while and said: "Yes! The ancestors of the Liu family may be the underground things left at that time. I dare not say anything else. After the capital is rebuilt, if anyone wants to privately...how, I am afraid it will not be possible. .”

Wu Chen nodded, he knew that Shang Gong's 'how' meant man-made a snake nest underground, and the investigation department of the imperial city in the early days of Xingguo should be more useful than Chen Zhong.

Wu Chen took a deep breath. He was relieved that no matter whether it was Song Gu or Shang Gong, there were many things that he didn't need to talk about. Just as Wu Chen was about to continue his analysis, he heard someone hastily entered the house.

Wu Chen looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and soon Xing Yunfei dropped a bag of things across the courtyard wall, turned around and disappeared again, while Song Gu appeared at the gate of the courtyard, panting.

Song Gu leaned on the courtyard wall and gasped for breath. Wu Chen picked up the bag and asked, "Why is Song Tixing coming back alone? Where's Gu Shiming?"

"We ran into the second year of high school. I heard that something happened in the yard, so I came back first. Mr. Gu...was called away by the servant, saying that something happened in the mansion."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, then gritted his teeth, walked towards the tunnel entrance, and said as he walked, "Don't anyone come down!"

Song Gu stretched out his hand to stop Wu Chen, but he didn't say a word, and watched Wu Chen disappear on the ground.

Shang Gong stepped forward to support Song Gu, and said with emotion: "Deputy envoy Wu...is really brave!"

"It's more than brave! If he is like those Taoist priests who only know how to exorcise ghosts, I will just keep him at a respectful distance, but he, he, alas, I know I am incompetent, otherwise I will go down with him and not let him stand in front of everything. .” Song Gu hammered the courtyard wall angrily.

"There is no need to worry about Song's punishment. I think Deputy Envoy Wu is full of confidence and nothing will happen. You and Xing Yun arrived one after another, which shows that you are not weak."

"Xing Yun is back?" Song Gu asked in surprise.

"Didn't you come back together?"

"When I left, he was still waiting for the medicine to be dispensed."

Shang Gong said, "So that's how it is."

"I heard from Xing Yun that Wu Chen was going to be in danger again, so I hurried back. The sophomore also wanted to go back, but Xing Yun refused. He said that when he came back to deliver the medicine, the sophomore could still watch..."

As soon as Song Gu finished speaking, he heard movement behind him. He turned his head and saw who it wasn't the sophomore!

"Why are you back?"

The second year of high school held a torch and walked very fast: "I can't let Brother Wu go into danger alone. Xing Yun is responsible for dispensing the medicine. He will come back after the dispensing. Let's see if it's enough, and then we'll talk about it."

The sophomore said that he stood still to see where the tunnel crossing was, and walked over quickly.

Shang Gong shouted: "Deputy Envoy Wu said no one is allowed to go down!"

"I'm not who!" The second year of high school shouted, and the man had already entered the tunnel with a torch.

……

Wu Chen plucked up his courage and went down the tunnel. He originally wanted to walk to the door in one go, sprinkle this pack of medicine outside the crack of the door, and simply prevent the big and small ones from coming out, but he hadn't walked a few minutes. He stood still, he really wanted to turn around and go back.

I saw that there were too many small snakes in front of me, some of them had already come out from the crack of the door, some were going out, and the ones that got out were twisted and entangled with each other. After just one glance, Wu Chen got up. goosebumps

But this is a tunnel, if he used all his strength, he might have buried himself alive.

What can you use without strength?Wu Chen didn't bring any swords. He resisted the urge to run back. Thinking of the medicine bag in his hand, he gritted his teeth and walked forward a few steps. When he walked almost halfway, he quickly opened the paper bag and put the The yellow powder inside sprinkled horizontally on the road in front of him, as if drawing a warning line.

Perhaps it was because the smell of the medicine dissipated so quickly, those green and black little snakes wanted to fight for the rats, but they stopped moving all at once.

Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel a chill run down his back.

He stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This is not the same as a ghost. Apart from being afraid, he also has a feeling of shock. Even though he knows that they can't hurt him, seeing the slippery and greasy things crawling in front of his eyes is not at all. I can't help but want to run.

But after taking a breath, those snakes moved again. Not only did they move, but the door also made a 'bang bang' sound.

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows. This is unscientific. How can such a nest of snakes survive in the ground for hundreds of years?Only by a few mice?Wu Chen took a look at the terrifying figure of the boa constrictor, and couldn't help but take a step back. These medicinal powders were obviously of little use to these snakes, at least they didn't go back directly like Wu Chen thought, and the little snake was not afraid...

Just as Wu Chen was lost in thought, he suddenly felt that there was a light in the cave. Wu Chen turned his head and saw that the sophomore rushed down with a torch.

The sophomore was afraid that Wu Chen would say something about him, so he walked over and explained:

"Xing Yun found a lot of guards, dispensing medicine all over the city. He was afraid that the medicine he had just prepared would not be strong enough, so he even searched for the imperial hospital. The medicine was there. I saw that he had found a lot of people, so I told him Come back to accompany you, he... what is that?!"

The sophomore walked up to Wu Chen, held up the torch and looked ahead, but couldn't see clearly for a moment, so he poked the torch forward.

"snake!"

While seeing clearly in the second year of high school, Wu Chen also added: "There are bigger ones inside."

The sophomore took a deep breath, turned to look at Wu Chen and asked seriously, "Can you handle it yourself?"

"What do you mean? You won't accompany me anymore?"

"I can accompany you even in mountains of knives and seas of fire, but this is the only thing I can't bear!" The hand of the sophomore senior who was holding the torch was shaking.

"Do you think I can take it? The medicinal powder that Xing Yun sent back just now... won't last long."

He didn't dare to turn his head when he was a sophomore in high school. He suddenly remembered what Wu Chen once said, "It's good not to be invisible." He always complained that he was more afraid because he couldn't see, but now he finally understood how Wu Chen felt.

"Then what should I do? I'll go up and ask Song Tixing and Shangfu Yin, maybe the two of them are not afraid..."

"These snakes are highly poisonous, and you can die if you bite them. I don't think Xing Yun's medicine will be effective, but you still have to take one. There are so many of them that they can't be killed by a few people. At least they are bitten. Not immediately die after that..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, there was another 'bang bang' sound of banging on the door.

"What!" The sophomore exclaimed, taking two steps back.

"As I said before, there is a bigger one. This door should be installed by those people later. Have you ever thought about it?" Wu Chen squinted his eyes and asked, "It's winter now, and these snakes should hibernate. Those people I really want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, but I haven’t succeeded for so many years, obviously it’s not possible, these snakes don’t hibernate at all, so why are they doing it again today?”

"You still have time to deduce? Hurry up and find a way to prevent them from going back..." The second year of senior high school suddenly thought of something, and asked with wide eyes, "Would it be possible to kill them all by giving them a palm with all your strength?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said:
"I don't know, but I know this tunnel is very deep. Right now we don't know what's going on behind the door. After a palm, I might be smashed to the ground by the bricks and stones on my head. You don't have to go out of the city to pay homage to me every year after Qingming." .”
