Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 413: Entrustment (Second update)
"You know Chen Zhong's character better than anyone else. How could he tell Gu Zuo the truth? Unless some clues are found, using known clues may remind Gu Zuo of the strangeness of Chen Zhong. If you ask him like this, can he What are you asking? They are just chess pieces in Chen Zhong’s hands, ready to take their lives at any time!"

"But I heard that Gu Zuo can stand up." Li Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Chen.

"I've told you, I'm different from ordinary people, and I have my own ways, can you take care of me?"

Wu Chen's eyes widened, and Li Heng pursed his lips.

Wu Chen added: "I agree with Yu Shi'an leading the army. If it's someone I don't know, I still need to spend time convincing him..."

"So you've decided to leave?" Li Heng leaned forward and asked.

"Gawain was arrested last night. I thought about it. It was all my fault. If I didn't leave, they would definitely think of other ways. I left and went straight to their lair. It can only be stopped in Kyoto."

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That day when you said that you would mobilize your troops to attack first, I felt very worried. If you went there after you alerted the enemy, it would only be more difficult. Although I have never been to Shuangxi Village, I ordered someone to go there. When that person comes back Afterwards, I said that it was difficult for people, not to mention ferocious animals, to get up to that place. Only then did I feel relieved about the people in the village. I just felt that they lived in seclusion and rarely had peace and quiet..."

"Those people only knew yesterday that Gawain was very important to me. They should have heard some rumors and knew that I went to my second brother's house the day I woke up. This kind of thing would spread among the people of Kyoto that night, but they I just found out yesterday that the person who kidnapped Gao Wen was a Taoist priest who was very strong in kung fu. He was the one who murdered Liu Jiaying’s mother ten years ago, so he must have been in cahoots with the Liu family.”

Li Heng widened his eyes and asked, "How is this person doing now? Has he been interrogated? Is he one of Li Shen's men?"

"Dead! He committed too many sins and died on the spot after being sucked by countless resentful souls."

Li Heng trembled.

"I infer that Li Shen has a problem with his body and bones, so he found Xi Mo first, and then dealt with you. But he was only a teenager when he died. There will be old men who will follow me, but he can find many top masters in the world. Help, I don't really believe it! After these masters get the wash ink, who will obediently hand it over to him? How can he handle these people?"

Li Heng's expression suddenly became serious: "You mean there is someone behind Li Shen?"

"Who dug Li Shen out of the grave? Isn't it a little difficult to steal something from the grave in front of your father while he was still alive? That means Li Shen was dug out after he was put into the grave. Who has this ability? Now it seems that without Xi Mo, Li Shen is a useless person. You also said that Xi Mo was just a rumor. It shows that someone has long known the whereabouts of Xi Mo. Otherwise, Li Shen would just be found in another place. Buried."

"I'm a little confused. Does this mean there is someone behind Li Shen, or... it shouldn't be the case. Although Li Shen was the prince at that time, his father only allowed him to accompany him to learn how to deal with political affairs, and his father was most afraid of forming cliques for personal gain. , if Li Shen had his own party members at that time, he would definitely be disallowed by his father. Even if he had his old followers to follow him, it stands to reason that he would not be able to make waves, not to mention that he was suddenly seriously ill, and those people had no time to plan even if they wanted to... …”

"Shouldn't the prince's tomb be built in advance?"

"Of course not. My father was heartbroken after losing his son. He wanted the prince to be laid to rest as soon as possible, so he ordered people to work day and night. The construction of the prince's mausoleum was completed half a year later, and Li Shen's coffin was buried. During the construction period, the coffin was parked at Qianfo Temple."

Wu Chen nodded and said: "In other words, it is not necessary to dig up Li Shen's grave to take him away. He should have been taken away before burial."

"Impossible! Not everyone can go to Thousand Buddhas Temple. Besides, the coffin is parked at Thousand Buddhas Temple and is guarded by guards. Opening the coffin cannot be done quietly..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I can't understand it now. I'll understand it when I find Li Shen."

"Where will they take Li Shen? Will he be in Kyoto like Li Yi?" Wu Chen shook his head and said, "Li Shen must need special medicine to help him hold up. It's not convenient in Kyoto. I I think Li Shen is very likely to be in Shuangxi Village. Your maternal family members are all very evil. As for whether Li Shen's men bribed Shuangxi Village or Shuangxi Village controlled Li Shen, we can only know when we get there. …”

Wu Chen suddenly paused when he said this, then frowned and looked at Li Heng and asked, "Do you have a red birthmark on your feet?"

Li Heng was shocked and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I don't have it!"

"Did Xing Yun tell you?"

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you hadn't removed their red marks, how could I dare to use them again."

"Brother, go to Shuangxi Village with me. I will also take Gu You and the seven other brothers with me. I will also take Brother Big Tou, because I don't trust you."

Li Heng's expression froze.

"Give me some money first, I'll ask Gu Shiming to help me buy a house, how much...you can figure it out, or I'll ask Gu Shiming to ask you directly, it's not that I want to buy a house, but that I want to buy a house for my elder brother and second brother, I have no money! It is impossible for the gold and silver under Liu’s house to stay in the capital, and Chen Zhong helped cover it back then, so I think they will hide it not far from Shuangxi Village for easy extraction.”

"What do they want? I'm already on the throne. If they have any needs, they can tell me. Can I still ignore them?"

Wu Chen shrugged, stood up and said, "These riddles will have to wait until I arrive at Shuangxi Village to solve them. Go to your court well and stop thinking about me. The people I left in Kyoto, You have to take good care of me, I won’t die.”

"Li Shen...can't live!" Li Heng said gloomily.

Wu Chen snorted and said: "Your worries are unnecessary. He is as good as dead if he leaves the special medicinal materials! Keep an eye on your good mother, even though she gave birth to you, she can still kill you! Aunt Ping If anything goes wrong, I will definitely let her be buried with her! If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot. Anyone who wants to bully me..."

Wu Chen strode away before finishing his words.

Li Heng was the only one left in the hall. He was rubbing his swollen temples, his heart churning uncontrollably.

"After solving Shuangxi Village, you can implement the New Deal in a down-to-earth manner. Shuangxi Village has me, so you can rest assured."

Li Heng raised his eyes and looked into the hall. No one was there. He took a deep breath. Just now, his heart was in turmoil. Wu Chen's words that came from nowhere made him calm down instantly. Not only was he no longer irritable, but he also felt grateful. heart of.

But Shuangxi Village can be solved so easily?

Li Heng's heart sank again when he thought of the coffin-like room in the palace.
