Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 383 Surprised (Part [-])

It is already shocking that there is a giant fire python underground in the capital. If Li Heng gets involved with the former prince again, let alone sleep soundly, it will be good if his spirit does not collapse.

"You... how did you think of the former prince?" Li Henghan asked with a straight face.

"Before I caught several people who participated in the old case of Liu Zhai ten years ago. Under interrogation, they all said that the person in charge was the prince. I naturally didn't believe it. How old was the prince ten years ago? What's the point of setting up this situation? ? But tonight...you don’t know about the Hushan Iron Mine seven or eight years ago, do you?”

Li Heng was taken aback.

Wu Chen sighed and said, "Chen Zhong really does a lot of work behind your back."

Wu Chen recounted the matter, and then said:

"...It was called Tiger Mountain before, but it was later changed to Tiezi Mountain. Perhaps the intention was to change the story of the fight for iron ore. I suddenly thought of the prince... the prince was also a prince, and those people may want to muddy the water... ..."

"The first prince...is he still alive?" Li Heng asked with a pale face.

Wu Chen said:
"That's why I asked you, did you see the corpse after the first prince died? Another question, are you sure that the first prince was really dead? With Li Yi first, and your aunt, to be honest, even the first prince If you are dead, if your soul has not left, you can still do these things, but... your aunt at least has some reason, why does the prince not leave after death? Personally, I still hope that he is alive..."

"Why?" Li Heng's face looked a little hideous under the dim light of the palace lantern.

"When a person is alive, your enemy is very clear. When a person is dead, you don't know who you are fighting with! I still say that, if there is no one to control the ghost, there is very little that can be done."

Li Heng took a step back, and asked in a daze, "Is he also for the throne?"

Wu Chen looked at Li Heng sympathetically, and said:

"Is this scary? Although I don't think the dragon chair is very beneficial, since you are sitting on it, you should know that there will be many people who covet the throne. But there is one thing, if the first prince wants to seek the throne, it is best The timing shouldn't be this time."

Li Heng looked at Wu Chen nervously, waiting for Wu Chen's next words.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I think that if the first prince is alive, and he wants to regain the throne, there is really no need to waste time on washing ink. It won't be too late after he sits on the throne..."

"You mean, the first prince is indeed dead?"

"I don't know." Wu Chen shrugged and said, "Right now we only unilaterally believe that the prince is related to the matter of washing ink, and the relevant evidence is only the confessions of those few people. They're all dead, why didn't you stop talking before?"

"They want to lead you to think about the prince, and then go to investigate Li Yu, so that you can let go of the things underground in the Liu residence." Li Heng seemed to have stabilized his mood.

Wu Chen nodded and said:
"There are people with amazing hearing in the palace, and Liu Zhai met all masters. Ten years ago, he was able to serve the governor of Kyoto and Chen Zhongdu. Alas, this matter can't even be thought of by the former prince. Who would?" With this kind of ability to gather these people under his command, can he still arrange to enter the palace?"

Li Heng muttered: "The former prince's former department..."

"The people in the palace... It's hard to find out. All I can think of is that the eyes may be bad and the hearing is amazing, but both men and women are welcome. How many people are there in the palace, including masters, slaves, and maids? How do you find out? ? It might be a good idea to secretly investigate the former prince’s old department first. Of those who attacked me tonight, one of them is a eunuch, and the others are all dressed up as people from the world.”

Li Heng frowned and asked, "Aren't they masked in black?"

"Yes, but I can see their original appearance before they died, and they are wearing the same clothes they usually wear."

Li Heng let out a long breath, and said to himself, "No wonder you blamed me."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I know it's not you, but Xing Yun asked me why I didn't doubt him? I said..."

Halfway through the conversation, Wu Chen stopped, and Li Heng asked nervously, "But someone eavesdropped?"

Wu Chen frowned, because he felt that Li Heng might not be able to calmly deal with Xing Yun once he said that he was infinitely close to Ximo and had a chance to take Ximo away.

"You said before that the words passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors can only be said to the successor. Does the former prince know?" Wu Chen had an idea to think of this question.

Li Heng thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I really don't know if my father told the former prince Li Shen, I was still young at that time, and I didn't know how to inquire about some things..."

Wu Chen hurriedly said:

"Anyway, you don't have to be suspicious of Xing Yun. How did you find out about the man in the palace? Where did the Prince's old department come from? Think about it first, and I will go back and think about it. Let's combine the old case of the Prince's house with Liu's house for now. , if this is the case, the former prince has been planning to win the ink wash for ten years, and since he failed, he still won't do it, and the ink wash must be extremely useful to him."

Li Heng nodded in agreement.

Wu Chen looked at Li Heng meaningfully and asked, "Do you know that washing ink has other effects besides removing evil spirits and dirt?"

Li Heng cast a glance at Wu Chen and said, "It's all a legend, so it can't be true."

"It doesn't matter whether I take it seriously or not. The important thing is that the crown prince takes it seriously first. If you don't tell me, I will ask others..."

Li Heng pursed his lips and said: "It is said that washing ink can not only get rid of evil spirits, making the owner invincible in the world, but once washing ink recognizes the owner, it will cleanse the host's scriptures... Immortality!"

Wu Chen only felt thunder in his ears, and his mind was buzzing!
Li Heng thought that Wu Chen would be delighted, but Wu Chen turned pale instantly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and asked back, "You know that the wash ink is on me, so you know it has recognized its master. Why do you still want it?"

Li Hengchang sighed and said, "I thought you could remove it."

Wu Chen said angrily: "If I can remove it, I will definitely remove it and give it to you immediately!"

Li Heng was very puzzled. He looked at Wu Chen suspiciously. Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'll go back first. You should think about where to start."

……

Xing Yun wanted to send Li Heng back to the bedroom first, so he asked Wu Chen to wait in front of the courtyard.

Wu Chen wanted to go by himself, but he really didn't know the way, so he could only wait obediently.

The cold wind whimpered, but Wu Chen didn't feel the chill, but his mind cleared up. He remembered what Old Hei once said: Not dying is a result.

Now that this result has appeared, how can he go back after completing the task?Will Lao Hei have a way to remove and wash the ink, how can he go to another life if he is not dead in this life?Didn't the so-called mantra-cutting and marrow washing be done while he was drowsy?Why doesn't he feel anything?

Just as Wu Chen was lost in thought, suddenly there was a person standing next to him. Wu Chen was taken aback, and then complained, "If I didn't control my palm and slapped you, are you planning to die for me?"
