Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 374 Handling Housework ([-]) Second Watch

The servants hid in the corner in fear and did not dare to move.

Wu Chen said, "Gu Shiming, go find a servant and bring me a basin of cold water."

Gu Shiming looked around for his servants.

Wu Chen looked up at the sky, and said softly, "Second brother, I don't have time to look at him every day, and he's not at an age that can be changed with reason, but I can break his legs to keep him alive, so that he can do less evil. The old man is confused, and my sister-in-law has a good temper... Only in this way can my sister-in-law and the children survive, I know you won't blame me."

Song Gu didn't miss a single word Wu Chen said, and couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.

Soon the cold water came and woke up the younger brother who was in the second year of high school. Gu Shiming asked a rough woman to shake the old woman awake. The woman who was kicked down by Song Gu also sat up and looked at Wu Chen in horror.

Wu Chen said loudly:
"Gu Shiming, I entrust you with two errands. One, replace all the servants in this yard with yours, and tell them clearly who is the master. Second, if you are sick in other places in the third year of high school, you can be treated, but the broken arms and legs cannot be treated. Healing, as long as it grows, it will be interrupted again."

When Gu Shiming heard that he didn't treat himself as an outsider, he agreed happily.

Wu Chen looked at the old woman, and said coldly, "I don't care if you love my little son, but from now on, if he wants to live, it depends on what my sister-in-law says, and you, too!"

The old woman shuddered.

Wu Chen looked at the woman sitting on the ground again, and said, "You also have a child, but you can be so black-hearted. It's because the child really can't learn well after following you. I heard that your eldest son is older than Gao Wen? As an uncle, I should arrange it properly."

The woman asked in horror, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course, find him a good job and keep him away from a mother like you. Take good care of Mrs. Lang and respect your sister-in-law. I will let your eldest son come back to visit you. If you are still vicious, you will not only If I don’t see the eldest son, the second son will also be taken away by me.”

"You dare!" The woman roared with a ferocious face: "My second uncle can be rewarded by the government. You dare to bully our family, and you will be blinded!"

Gu Shiming snorted and asked:

"When you see that you are a sophomore in high school, you don't want to talk to you on weekdays. Although my sister-in-law has never met Wu Chen, she knows it is Wu Chen as soon as Wu Chen opens her mouth. You only know how to use the achievements of the sophomore to cover up the scandal, but you don't know that the sophomore was alive. He followed Wu Chen. Wu Chen is the deputy commander of the investigation department. Do you know how big an official this is? The Governor of Kyoto will bow down to answer when he sees him. He does not need to be summoned by officials to enter the palace. Jin, do you think he dares to deal with you?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need to talk nonsense to them, just do it. If they can understand the teaching, they won't do such evil things today."

The old woman lost all strength after being frightened, and was still trembling all over after being held in the arms of the rough envoy, her head was buzzing, she didn't hear what Gu Shiming said at all.

The third year of high school grinned in pain and kept moaning. He couldn't hear what Gu Shiming said clearly, and shouted from time to time: "Go find a doctor for me!"

The one who really felt the fear was the unscrupulous lady in the third year of high school, who sat slumped in the courtyard with dull eyes.

Xu Da walked to the side of the second lady and whispered: "Brother Wu was seriously injured and fell asleep for ten days. He just woke up today. Brother and sister, let's see which room is warmer. Let Brother Wu go in and rest for a while. If you don't tidy up this house, he will I'm afraid I won't leave in peace."

The second-year-old lady quickly patted Gao Wen and said hurriedly, "Take your uncle to the house to rest."

"Mother, your legs..."

"It's okay, I'll just walk slowly."

Wu Chen frowned, and Xu Da hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your brother and sister's legs?"

Gao Wu took a step forward and said aggrievedly, "Uncle asked for money, but mother said no, so grandmother beat him with crutches."

Xu Da touched Gao Wu's head, sighed and said, "Now you don't have to worry about who can bully you, your uncle will protect you."

Gao Wu glanced at Wu Chen, pursed his lips aggrievedly, and nodded emphatically.

Gu Shiming came over and complained to Wu Chen: "You said that you are also a person of status, and you should have a few servants by your side. If you have something to do, you can have someone to run errands. But now it's a good thing. I have to go and find out in person."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shiming walked out of the yard angrily.

Wu Chen recalled that he had said something similar in the second year of high school: "You find someone to follow you, at least someone to pass on the message." '

……

Gao Wen and Gao Wu supported their mother, Gao Yu held on to their mother's sleeves tightly, and the four of them led the way, leading Wu Chen and the others to a side room in the backyard. There was no charcoal basin in the room, it can only be said that it was less than outside. Cold wind, but not much warmer.

Song Gu looked at the shabby furnishings in the room with a sullen face, and asked, "During the second year of high school, did you live here?"

The sophomore lady hurriedly waved her hands and said:

"This is a house with two entrances. My mother-in-law lives in the main room of the second entrance courtyard, and we live in the wing room. Later, my uncle's family came, and Mr. Lang asked to rent a yard for him elsewhere. My mother-in-law refused, so we moved out." Went to the front yard..."

Song Gu was so angry that he patted the table: "It's really unreasonable! The bones of the second year of high school are afraid of the cold, so they drove your mother and son into the ear room!"

Xu Da also shook his head again and again, and said: "I'll get a pot of charcoal fire, Brother Wu can't stand the cold right now."

Wu Chen didn't speak, walked to a chair silently, wiped the chair with his sleeves, and signaled Gao Wen and Gao Wu to help his mother over and sit down.

Seeing that Xu Da was about to leave the house, the second lady in high school hurriedly yelled to stop. Xu Da turned his head to look, and the second lady in high school lowered her head in shame and said, "There is no hot water in the house, and I have to trouble brother Xu to give it to Wu." Brother, let's get a cup of hot tea."

Xu Da said 'hmm' and left the room.

Wu Chen watched the second lady sit down, then found a stool to sit on, called Gao Wen, Gao Wu and Gao Yu to him, and asked gently, "Do you three study?"

Gao Wen replied politely: "Father asked the master to teach us to read books for a while, and when father was not at home, grandma thought the monthly tuition of the master was too expensive, so she stopped studying."

Wu Chen nodded and said:

"I will ask my master to teach you to read again. Reading is not for becoming an official, but for being sensible. Uncle doesn't want you to grow up like your grandmother and uncle, who only care about Xiaoli and lose your humanity."

Gao Wu and Gao Yu saw their elder brother nodding their heads heavily, and they also nodded.

At this time, there was a humming sound coming from the courtyard, Wu Chen frowned, he ignored those people in the courtyard, he thought someone would take care of them, logically speaking, no one should have the guts to make noise.

Song Gu had already pushed open the door first, and several yamen servants had already walked to the door, and they were stunned when they saw Song Gu.

The door has been opened, and people inside can see outside.

Seeing that she was a yamen servant, the second lady covered her mouth in horror. Gao Wu and Gao Yu ran to her mother's side and put their little heads on her in fear, but Gao Wen straightened his back and turned around to block Wu Chen.
