Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 51
Sophomore busy said:

"Pinggu's parents not only found a brothel, but also a matchmaker, and wanted to marry Pinggu to a rich family as a concubine. How can it be good? Her parents are still thinking about raising the price on the ground, to see if they can earn more by selling it in a brothel, or if they can earn more by entering a rich family. Don't worry about where they go, Pinggu knows that her parents only care about the money, and never Will consider her life or death."

Xu Da said:

"At the beginning, Pinggu's parents kept it from Pinggu. They knew that Pinggu had a strong temper, and they were afraid that Pinggu would cause trouble, but Pinggu was not stupid. Seeing the strangers coming and going at home every day, they grew up She was eavesdropping, and then she wanted to escape, but she was caught by her brother, beat her hard, and starved for several days."

"Isn't she fierce? How could she be beaten honestly?" Wu Chen asked.

"Her family members naturally knew her temper, so after she was caught, Pinggu was tied up. First, his elder brother whipped him with a leather whip, trying to make Pinggu obedient and accept the family's arrangement. , her father smoked, anyway, the family switched beatings, Pinggu wanted to die, but she refused to give in, and then the whole family was tired from beatings, so they started to starve Pinggu." Xu Da said.

Wu Chen was a little annoyed when he heard that, and said:
"Looking at it this way, I really can't deal with this matter simply. I originally thought about spending some money to buy Pinggu, and then find her a good family to marry when I arrive in the capital in the future. The woman wants to survive on her own...it is as difficult as climbing the sky. , looking at it now, her parents who fell into the eyes of money have to be taught a lesson, but fortunately she met us, this matter can't be so cheap, her parents..."

"That's the reason!" The second year of high school became excited: "I've already thought about it, how many whips they whipped Pinggu, I will pay back twice, and if they are hungry, Pinggu will pay back twice! I also want money I will find out all the money in his family and give it to Pinggu, and then I will ask her parents to sign and pledge, and sell Pinggu to Brother Wu Chen for nothing..."

"Why me?" Wu Chen asked with wide eyes.

"It's not who you are? Don't worry if you sell it to someone else? After you sign the contract of sale, you burn it in front of Pinggu. If it is in the hands of others, it may not be burned."

"How do you know that I will definitely burn?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

Xu Damang said: "If you don't burn it, you will put it in the house. Pinggu has a bad temper, but she is pretty."

"It's okay? I think it's comparable to the Cuilian in the Yanbin Building in Kyoto." said the sophomore.

Wu Chen scratched his forehead and said, "Let's talk about tonight's errands first. I don't know if I can return to the capital alive. What's the use of saying these things? While I can live, help one is one, and the other Don’t think about good things first.”

The second year of high school sighed and said, "I don't know how many there are in the mountain... right, if I don't clean it up tonight, where can I find these ghosts outside tomorrow?"

Wu Chen also sighed, and said, "This is what I'm most worried about right now. Si Zun said that if he can't find it, he will kill a group."

Both Gao Er and Xu Da gasped, Xu Da said softly, "Si Zun can do it."

The sophomore nodded.

None of the three spoke.

After a while, Wu Chen said, "I'll fall to the ground in pain in a while, so don't panic, both of you."

……

When it was almost midnight, Wu Chen walked near the entrance of the col to guide the ghosts who came one after another. By the way, he explained that their wishes were all in the process of being verified, and the results would come tomorrow.

Wu Chen hoped that tonight these ghosts would not be the same as last time, entering the light beam when they got excited, and stay more or less, and use them tomorrow night.

The group of ghosts drifted towards the direction Wu Chen pointed in twos and threes. When it was almost time, Wu Chen found a flat place and prepared to fall down in a while. Every time a ghost enters the light beam, his whole body will hurt, and then his strength will increase. What's the use of giving him so much strength?
Just as Wu Chen was thinking, a beam of light appeared, followed by him falling to the ground in pain...

……

Wu Chen didn't know how long it took before the light beam disappeared, and the pain on his body gradually faded away. He stood up again, and turned his head to see that the second year of high school and Xu Da were chatting happily.

"I'll go into the col to have a look."

Wu Chen patted the dust off his body, and strode towards the col.

This time, he still didn't close his eyes, but still lowered his head, Wu Chen went in and asked, "How much have you walked today?"

An old voice sounded: "It's more than yesterday. I saw that the exit was opened twice, and it's no longer strong. It's only now that it's almost daylight, and it's closed again."

"Oh? Then let's continue tomorrow night to see if there is a possibility that the exit will appear at midnight without rushing." Wu Chen said a little excitedly.

"Baby, you only want underground things?"

"It's not what I want, and it's not my turn. I'm just on an errand, and I can't bear to see you trapped here. If I can help, I will help."

Wu Chen said it sincerely, but the old voice laughed: "That means you don't know what's hidden in the ground yet."

"I know, the gold, silver and jewels that Qi Xuan looted back then are useless to me."

The old voice hurriedly asked: "Don't you want it? Or don't you dare?"

"I don't want to, I dare not, and I can't! How many lives will be lost for the money? It's not necessary. We have agreed. If the exit naturally appears tomorrow night, then I will trouble you to close the underground mechanism or crack it. The method tells me."

"I said before, before I leave, the institution will be completely destroyed."

"Stop lying to three-year-olds like this. I've been keeping my promise, and you've seen it, but you're a little dishonest. There are two possibilities for ruining the mechanism. The way down is blocked, if it's the latter...you think you did it according to the agreement, but in fact I saved you, but you killed me! This still means that you have the ability to attack the mechanism, of course, I don't know you Do you have this ability, anyway, the ghosts I saw outside have just passed away, so it is difficult to scare people..."

Before Wu Chen could finish his sentence, the big rock beside him suddenly floated up and hit him hard.

"Okay, if you have the ability, then go back to the two possibilities. Do you just disable the mechanism, or completely block the way down? I think it depends on your identity."

"Waah herself said just now that if the treasure is born, I don't know how many people will lose their lives fighting for it."

"I knew you didn't hold your fart well!" Wu Chen was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to raise his head: "We are working on behalf of the officials, and it's better for the royal family to collect this batch of treasures than others, think about it! "

The old voice stopped talking.

"Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will fulfill my promise and save you guys! See you tomorrow."

Wu Chen turned around and left the col. For Wu Chen, he really didn't care that much about cleaning up the col.
