Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 14 Bickering (Part [-])
Wu Chen seemed to see what Chen Zhong was thinking, shrugged and said, "I'm afraid, it won't solve anything."

"The purpose of locking you up overnight is to let you tell the truth, who are you?" After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he bent slightly and stared at Wu Chen with squinted eyes.

The corner of Wu Chen's mouth turned up, and he asked with a smirk, "Shan'ao, can't you find it again?"

Chen Zhong's expression froze, and soon he smiled, stood up straight and said, "As long as you are still in the mountains around Anping County, you can't find it."

Wu Chen shook his head and said:
"That's why I didn't find it, and I'm still stubborn! This mountain has always been in the mountain. So many of you have died, so you haven't found it? I found it, and you think I'm useless. You wanted to kill me last night, right? I I'm curious what made you not do anything, don't tell me that you thought of today's situation, you can't think of it!"

Chen Zhong's fair old face was gloomy and frightening, but Wu Chen was not afraid, he had seen a face with carrion before, so how could he be afraid of this stinky face?
"Too many people went to the Ghost Mandrill Gang yesterday. It's not right. Have you thought about it?" Wu Chen raised his head and looked at Chen Zhong: "You put your mind on me. To be honest, I don't quite understand it. I just I am a beggar, you must have ordered someone to investigate me, suddenly there are many beggars in Anping County, as long as there is a war, there will be refugees, you can ask around and see which of the younger beggars in the streets and alleys is born and raised in the local area?"

Chen Zhong frowned and asked, "Where are you from?"

"You're going to kill me, why ask so much? Do you believe me when I say I came from heaven?"

Chen Zhong was really annoyed, he squinted his eyes and said: "Death, there are many ways..."

"Guess what I saw in the valley last night?" Wu Chen raised an eyebrow at Chen Zhong: "Ghosts all over the mountains!"

Chen Zhong frowned, he believed it without any doubt.

"You want to kill me, I can understand, but you can't kill me, don't ask why, it's a matter of knowing too much! Not only will I not harm you, but on the contrary, only I can help you. I can't find you today. As expected." Wu Chen raised his legs as he spoke.

Chen Zhong glanced at the proud Wu Chen, turned around and walked slowly towards the bed. The little eunuch wanted to step forward to help him, but Chen Zhong threw him away.

"What's so annoying about it? Just because I'm not afraid of you? Then you have to change your temper, even if you are now under one person and above ten thousand people, you have to, right? Honest words are hard to hear, and I hope Si Zun will listen to them." Yes, of course, if it were me, I would be annoyed if a brat dared to be rude to me, but I will see if this brat is really capable and can be used by me..."

Chen Zhong sat on the bed, interrupted Wu Chen with a sullen face and asked, "Do you know where the col is now?"

Wu Chen nodded confidently.

"I'll order someone to take you right away..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and interrupted Chen Zhong, saying:
"Si Zun said yesterday that when I found out about Shan'ao, he would let me join the company as a pawn, and he also specially asked Gu You to explain the rules to me, but he wanted to kill me in a blink of an eye. I don't know this time, Si Zun What do you want to use as bait? Tell me first, and see if I will believe you."

Chen Zhong's complexion was already very ugly. If Gu You, Senior Two and the others were there, his legs would have been trembling with fright. If this senior became ruthless, it would be impossible to survive, and it would be even more difficult to seek death!
But Wu Chen not only showed no fear at all, but was still poking Chen Zhong's lungs.

The two young eunuchs in the room were already trembling like chaff. Wu Chen glanced at them, shook his head and said:
"Subordinates fear Sizun because Sizun controls their life and death. If one day Sizun is no longer in power, have you ever thought about what will happen? Kindness may not be remembered by everyone, but hatred will! In other words, reverence and reverence, there is no reverence but reverence, today I can foresee Si Zun's future situation... extremely miserable!"

A look of panic flashed across Chen Zhong's face, he thought of last night's dream...

"I can go up the mountain, but before I go up the mountain, I have to go to the village below the mountain and let the county magistrate order someone to follow me. From what happened yesterday, the county magistrate should already know that Si Zun is here. They helped me finish my business. I will go up the mountain to help you find the col, and then you can try to kill me, oh, let your people bring some broken silver, I will be useful."

Wu Chen stood up and waited for Chen Zhong to make a decision.

Chen Zhong struggled in his heart for a long time. He himself didn't remember how many years no one dared to talk to him like that except the officials. Chen Zhong really wanted to kill Wu Chen, but he believed that those dreams didn't come out of thin air. , he very much believed that Wu Chen was the one who could save him from fire and water, but Wu Chen didn't know how to curry favor with him, and kept provoking him. How to go up the mountain?Can you still go up the mountain?
In the end, Chen Zhong thought of a compromise. He said, "As you said, I can order someone to arrange it, but if you can't find the col, your big brother won't survive today."

Seeing Wu Chen's angry face, Chen Zhong felt much more at ease. The official's errands could not be delayed. He waved his hand, but Wu Chen retreated without saying anything.

……

Anping county captain Song Yu waited anxiously outside the house with all the yamen servants.

Yesterday, five hundred soldiers sealed off Beishan as if they had fallen from the sky. Only then did Song Yu and the county magistrate Jiang Shan know that the commander of the Imperial City Division was in Anping County.

The envoy of the Beiman peace talks also received the news, and was sent out of the county just as he was about to make a serious reprimand.

Chen Zhong had a plan long ago, which Wu Chen did not expect. He thought those soldiers were produced in Anping County.

Song Yu, the county lieutenant, was in charge of the security and defense of a county, but he couldn't intervene, and he was secretly glad that he didn't have to intervene. He heard that the five hundred soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. There are many legends about the mountain to the north, but which mountain doesn't?Wouldn't it be enough to make less trouble?

Song Yu couldn't figure it out, and didn't have time to think about it.

Anping County Magistrate Jiang Shan quickly summoned the county magistrate, master Bo, and county magistrate yesterday to go to the house to meet Chen Zhong, but Chen Zhong did not see him.

Several people discussed it, as if they didn't know what happened, they all hoped to deal with it muddle-headedly, and when these people are gone, Anping County can restore the peace it used to be.

Unexpectedly, today Song Yu was called to personally accompany the people of Huangcheng Division to the village at the foot of Beishan, how could Song Yu not feel uneasy.

What the Imperial City Division, especially the Imperial City Investigative Division, does. Anyone who is an official does not know. How can the people in the department not feel uneasy when they are doing errands?
Song Yu saw a thin, yellow-faced young man coming out of the house. He was wearing a kerchief on his head, and a light blue straight gown with a belt around his waist. However, the clothes were obviously too wide and did not fit well. Add to that.

Wu Chen also ignored Song Yu, he stood straight at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Da Tou and Xu Da.
