Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 108 Another Life (Part [-])

"It's done, it's done a long time ago, the wedding date has been set..."

"Since that's the case, this is an old grudge. Just kill the youngest son of the Cao family. Why kill everyone in the Cao family? Oh, yes, you are talking about poisoning, that is to say, Cao Bingde's family was poisoned to death." ?”

Chen Wuzhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"When we arrived that day, Cao's family fell to the ground in a mess. There was no injury on their bodies. How can you die if you said it wasn't poisoned?"

"The Yin soldiers killed it. Didn't you say that the five hundred soldiers were not injured?"

"I, him, this, oops!" Chen Wuzhao patted his thigh, not knowing how to explain.

Wu Chen chuckled and said, "You also know that this method can only be used once, who gave you the idea?"

"what?"

"Just look at how you dealt with the Cao family's extermination case. It's impossible for you to think of killing the five-color jade case with the method of killing people. Who gave you an idea?"

Chen Wuzhao's mind is very confused now, he didn't want to follow Wu Chen's topic, but he replied unconsciously:

"It was one of my aides. He heard some villagers talking about the Yin soldiers, so... But, don't you think it can only be the work of the Yin soldiers? Five hundred soldiers died without any resistance, and There is no injury on the body, they are soldiers in the wilderness, not ordinary people, who can, who dares?"

Wu Chen asked back, "Then Cao Bingde's family, why don't you dare to use the Yin soldiers to close the case?"

Chen Wuzhao rubbed his face and said: "Cao Bingde's family was killed first, and the five-color jade was robbed last, with a difference of five days. I don't have eyesight, so how do I know what's going to happen later?"

"If you framed Cao Bingshan for poisoning Cao Bingde's family, you are not afraid that one day he will be wronged. Not only will you lose your official title, but you may even lose your life, and even your whole family?"

Chen Wuzhao knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', then rubbed against Wu Chen's side, begging, "As long as Mr. Wu raises his hand, I can take care of other things."

Wu Chen chuckled, helped Chen Wuzhao up, and said, "Magistrate Chen, don't panic, I'll get to know it first, and then make plans. You sit down first, and listen to me."

Chen Wuzhao sat down obediently.

"You said you can arrange it properly, how to arrange it? I was just promoted to the office of the detective department. I came up to take over the five-color jade case, and then encountered the Cao family's extermination case. You said let me raise my hand. This hand is easy to raise. But if you are unable to protect yourself at that time, you will definitely implicate me, can County Magistrate Chen understand this truth?"

"Yes, yes! I understand the meaning of Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, but please rest assured, I did tell the truth about the five-color jade case. This case is beyond my ability, so I reported it immediately after receiving the report, but the case of the Cao family's extermination, that I, I, I have already taken care of everything. I will not hide from Wu Gong. The cousin in my family is the son-in-law of the princess, the uncle in my family is the imperial doctor, and my cousin is the judge of the Dali Temple. Make waves."

Wu Chen nodded frequently, with a serious expression on his face.

Chen Wuzhao saw that Wu Chen had listened to it, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He was not afraid of anyone in such a big case as the Cao family extermination. The person was recruited, and now Chen Wuzhao's heart has been dangling in his throat, and he never let it go.

Chen Wuzhao naturally knew that only the people in the Imperial City Division could not take care of the whole court, and he also knew that those who had nothing to do should stay away from the people in the Imperial City Division, but what could he do?

Fortunately, Lin Huai'an was quite polite, and Lin Huai'an didn't know about the case of the Cao family's extermination.

Who would have thought that there would be a matter of Wu Gong suddenly popping up, and knowing about the Cao family extermination case, Chen Wuzhao thought it would be impossible to pass, but now he is finally at ease, the people in the Imperial City Division are also human, who doesn't like to get promoted and get rich?

Chen Wuzhao glanced at Datou who was still eating, thinking whether he should take advantage of the victory to pursue and explain some benefits clearly, but he didn't know the relationship between Datou and Wu Chen, so could he say these things directly?

"You can indeed deal with the case of the Cao family's extermination, but why did you involve the Yin soldiers in the case of the five-color jade? This case is not something you can investigate, and sooner or later someone will be sent to investigate. Why do you need to lay the groundwork like this?"

Chen Wuzhao hurriedly said:
"I told Mr. Wu the truth. I didn't want to get involved. How big a case is this? It's not something I can handle, but the government will always send someone to investigate. No matter who is sent to investigate, no matter how quickly it will take It took two or three days to arrive. After arriving, don’t you have to ask me what I found in the past two days? I didn’t find anything, so I followed what my staff said, and then Lin Duzhi came. Cha Yue thinks this is the case..."

"If there are bandits near Yang'an County, you, the county magistrate, will be able to do it too, right?"

"That's of course, but it can't be the bandits. Mr. Wu, please think, how many bandits can there be? What kind of weapons do they use? Can they beat five hundred cavalry? Most importantly, five hundred soldiers There is no injury on the body! Lin Duzhi ordered people to search the mountains with a radius of a hundred miles, but no bandits were found..."

"Is the staff member who advised you still in your house?"

"exist!"

"Find someone you trust and call him here."

Chen Wuzhao was stunned for a moment, then got up and went to the door to find the servants who followed him.

Wu Chen sat in front of the table, tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, and said with a big head, "You knocked me sleepy."

Wu Chen turned to look at the big head and said, "You are full."

"But I can't sleep, and I will have lunch soon."

"You go for a stroll in the yard. I can see that you have gained weight every day. If you keep getting fatter, you will soon become a ball."

Datou stood up and asked: "Since it's a business, shouldn't you go to the yamen? Why did you find such a house to stay in like Anping County?"

"Eat, drink, and sleep well, do you care where they work?"

"That's true."

The big head strolled out of the room, just as Chen Wuzhao came in, he politely asked the big head to go out first, and then entered the room.

Wu Chen stopped talking, Chen Wuzhao wanted to take advantage of no one to say something good several times, but seeing Wu Chen's gloomy face, Chen Wuzhao didn't dare to speak, just waiting for Wu Chen to say something, he Good to find an opportunity to mention.

But Wu Chen didn't speak all the time, the more Chen Wuzhao dared not speak, the more he couldn't speak, he just hoped that his staff would arrive soon, but he couldn't wait, and Chen Wuzhao couldn't help feeling anxious, counting the time, Two back and forth are enough.

Wu Chen could hold his breath, he was thinking that the big head hadn't come back, maybe he went to the kitchen, other than there, there was only the bed for the big head to stay for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Chen finally heard hurried footsteps, and then a yamen servant rushed into the house in a panic. Before Chen Wuzhao could reprimand him, the yamen servant reported in panic:

"Reporting to the county lord, Mr. Wang, he, he left the county government office alone with his burden for some reason. We couldn't find anyone when we went back, so we went out and searched around. We found that he was stabbed to death on the side of Xihui Lane. under a tree."
