Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 15 Harvest (one more)
Datou ran to the kitchen to bring cakes, Xu Da was injured yesterday, Chen Zhong wanted him to rest and recuperate today, but now Wu Chen was going out, no one trusted to watch, Chen Zhong was worried, Xu Da had to treat the wound again, eat He took a pill from Chen Zhongshang, and after listening to Chen Zhong's instructions, he rushed to the gate of the house.

The big head stood behind Wu Chen, looking at Song Yu and the government servants warily. In his memory, he had often been fisted and kicked by these people, so he would not want to get close.

Xu Da walked out of the house slowly, cupped his hands towards Song Yu and said, "There is County Captain Lao Song!"

Song Yu thought it was Xu Da who was going to accompany him today, so he hurriedly approached him. Just as he was about to flatter him, Xu Da pointed to Wu Chen and said, "Today is all according to Wu Chen's arrangement."

Wu Chen stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands.

Song Yu didn't know Wu Chen's official position, and Wu Chen didn't look like one, but the people in the Imperial City Division should respect him.

Song Yu was all smiles but he didn't know where to start. It was a long time for this and that. It was really embarrassing. Fortunately, Wu Chen was in a hurry and didn't have time to organize words for Song Yu.

Neither Wu Chen nor Da Tou had ridden a horse before. To be honest, Wu Chen barely rode. Gu You seemed to be carrying prey, and led him to ride twice. Da Tou never even touched him. Thin, choose two yamen servants who are better at equestrianism, and take them separately, which does not waste time.

It's just that after hard work, Xu Da, who was injured on his body, bumped along the way.

……

The group of people had nothing to say all the way, so they arrived at the village at the foot of Beishan that Wu Chen mentioned

Wu Chen got off his horse and went straight to the gate of a family's courtyard. Looking at the low thatched cottage in the courtyard, he confirmed that it was consistent with Liu Gen's description, and then asked loudly, "But Liu Gen's house?"

A woman wearing a brown scarf, a blue patched blouse on the upper body, trousers on the lower body, and a short skirt tied around her abdomen timidly walked out of the door and looked at the gate of the courtyard in horror. Under her body was a five or six-year-old The child clung tightly to the skirt of the woman's skirt. .

Wu Chen hurried into the hospital, keeping a distance from the woman, and then said gently:

"Sister-in-law, don't panic. Brother Liu Gen and I met each other by fate a few years ago, but we never saw each other again. I saw him in a dream yesterday and told me about your family. Being constantly bullied by the neighbors, today he brought people from the yamen here, one is to seek justice for his sister-in-law, and the other is to leave money for her sister-in-law. Brother Liu Gen hopes that his sister-in-law will raise his nephew well and continue the incense for the Liu family .”

Wu Chen thought that what he said was very decent, but the people behind him, including the big head, were dumbfounded. The woman's eyes widened and her mouth opened, with an expression of disbelief.

The big head walked to Wu Chen's side and asked in a low voice, "Have you taken a fancy to this lady?"

Wu Chen almost jumped up after hearing this.

At this time, many people from the neighbors gathered over. Some people saw Wu Chen and his party get off their horses before and started running to tell each other. Now that Wu Chen and the others had just arrived, the neighbors gathered over, but they did not dare to come forward. .

Wu Chen frowned and turned to Song Yu at the gate of the courtyard, saying bluntly:
"Lieutenant Song County can order someone to ask the neighbors, who is the person who often bullies my sister-in-law? This is the purpose of my trip. After finishing this matter, I have to go up the mountain. Sir, I have other errands. Don't waste time."

Song Yu ignored Wu Chen's attitude and tone, and immediately whispered a few words to the people around him, who led a few yamen servants towards the neighbors.

It was noon at this time, and it was time for the neighbors who were farming to take a lunch break. There were a few hunters who hadn't gone up the mountain for some days because of the inexplicable change in Beishan, so there were quite a few neighbors gathered here.

The yamen servants didn't take much time to find out the person who often bullied Liu Gen's wife and children, but he was not in the crowd, so the yamen servants went to the house to arrest him.

Seeing that the root of the trouble had been found, Wu Chen looked at Xu Da and asked, "Did Si Zun let you bring the silver taels?"

Xu Da nodded, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained a lot of loose silver, and handed it to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen turned around and walked up to the woman, put his hands up, and said, "Sister-in-law use the money to buy some practical things and a few acres of Susukida. Life will be easier. If someone dares to bully your mother and son in the future, Sister-in-law just go to the county government office to look for County Captain Song, who will definitely uphold justice for sister-in-law."

After finishing speaking, Wu Chen turned his head and glanced at Song Yu. Song Yu hurried into the yard and said, "Exactly! Your orphan and widowed mother live here, and it is inevitable that some people will covet it. If you encounter difficulties, you can come Find me!"

The woman took the cloth bag tremblingly, but before she could say a word, tears were streaming down her face.

Wu Chen didn't know how to persuade him, he just did what he could, what will happen in the future still depends on the luck of the mother and son.

Song Yu didn't know Wu Chen's real identity, and Wu Chen deduced that Song Yu had no one to ask. In this way, with Song Yu's name here, the money given to the mother and son might be preserved, and it would not be possible to Neighbors will see it in their eyes, and they will look up to the mother and son on weekdays. Wu Chen's current situation can only do so.

Wu Chen stood awkwardly in the courtyard, waiting for the yamen servants to take that roguish skin and teach them a lesson in front of the neighbors, so as to serve as an example to scare the chickens and monkeys. The matter will be considered over, and Liu Gen should really go back. .

Fortunately, the yamen servants acted relatively neatly, so it didn't help that Wu Chen was embarrassed for too long, and the rogue was taken to the gate of the courtyard.

Poppi was so frightened that he couldn't walk on his own. Because he had a little strength and had many brothers in his family, he often bullied his neighbors. Now he was brought here, and he was useless as a yamen servant. How about a punch, neighbors? I beat Popi half to death with one kick, the yamen servants only shouted 'stop beating', but no one came forward to stop him, his elder brother was also brought here, Song Yu naturally frightened him a lot.

The neighbors spontaneously formed a circle, surrounding Song Yu and the rogue brother, and even the woman came forward with her child to watch.

Only Wu Chen and Da Tou stood on the outermost side, Da Tou stood on tiptoes, stretched his neck to look inside, but Wu Chen looked aside... Liu Gen stood there, dressed like a normal person, with a peaceful expression, and suddenly a bunch of light appears...

The moment Liu Gen disappeared, Wu Chen felt a little agitated in his heart. Before he could swing again, he suddenly felt numbness in his hands, followed by a swelling in his head. He clenched his hands unnaturally to resist the kind Soreness, and then a few deep breaths before everything returned to normal.

Wu Chen felt that he was a little emotional. He caught the real murderer in his last life, and the family members of the victim came to the team to thank him. At that scene, his eyes were red, and now he watched Liu Gen leave... that is where he should go, and he should be relieved , where is the excitement?
However, Wu Chen clenched his fist, and he felt like he had gained some strength.
