Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 151 Secret Road ([-]) One more

The yamen servants looked at each other, and one of them said, "I've measured it, and it's almost the same."

"What do you mean almost?!" Wu Chen was a little anxious.

He looked around and said directly: "Go out and let the people outside stay away from the toilet. The second brother stands behind me and holds the torch for me."

The yamen servants hurriedly left the latrine. Wu Chen listened to the movement outside and made sure that there was no one around, so he stepped forward and punched the wooden wall inside, causing sawdust to fly in the latrine.

Wu Chen only used [-]% of his strength, and only the top plank was left on the thick wooden wall. The second year of high school hurriedly held up a torch to take a closer look, and then exclaimed: "How do you know there is a dark room here?"

Wu Chen probed to see that there was another wall outside the wall, and the outermost wall was shaken by Wu Chen's strength, and there was not much left. The two wooden walls were very close to each other, only a little more than one person's stature, and they were all together on the ground. Locked Iron Plate.

Wu Chen knocked down the wooden board that was in the way on the wall, walked to the iron board, and lifted the iron board with both hands. The iron lock that locked the iron board broke instantly, revealing the dark tunnel below.

Wu Chen didn't stop, and knocked down all the wooden walls around the tunnel entrance. Yu Shi'an and Song Gu quickly surrounded him, while Guo Xuan was frightened by Wu Chen's divine power, and stood in the courtyard without reacting for a while.

"They only built secret passages, not secret rooms." Yu Shi'an said.

"You're right, no one comes to this Taoist temple, and Tibetans don't need to be on guard, so there's no need for a secret room," Wu Chen said.

"How did you think of this?" Song Gu asked.

Wu Chen looked around and said:

"Bo Liangkuan, the head of the county government, once said that this Taoist temple has been around for a hundred years, and he is much older than Prince Cheng. If there is a connection between the Taoist temple and the cave, it means that there is a Taoist temple before the tunnel. The Taoist temple is placed here. Digging the entrance of the tunnel into any house in the Taoist temple is far more laborious than digging to the edge of the courtyard wall, and this is in the mountains, the rocks are hard, and they dare not make big moves, so it will be slower, and the decline of the Taoist temple is also a process, not No one came during the night, besides, the latrine smells bad, we should have left a huge window, ahem... After all, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be here." Wu Chen coughed twice explain.

The sophomore said: "It stands to reason that Xu Da will not miss this place, he will even check the cesspit outside the Taoist temple."

"It's more difficult to check places like latrines, and you won't be able to check them carefully if you look at them." Song Gu said.

Yu Shian said:

"It's really not easy to find the secret passage with only one person wide. His door may be on the wall inside the latrine. It's dark now, and it's hard to find it only by the light of the torch. Even in daylight, the latrine is also dark. You have to watch carefully, who would have thought that they used the toilet as a secret passage."

Both Song Gu and Senior Two nodded.

Wu Chen lowered his head and pondered for a moment. This is an excellent opportunity to leave, but it's a pity that he didn't bring a big head with him on this trip, and there are still people in the cave waiting for them to rescue...

Wu Chen sighed, looked at the few people seriously and said:

"There are still people alive in the cave, so I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until tomorrow. I'll take them down. Deputy Envoy Yu and Song Tixing, you go back first. If you don't see me return tomorrow, you can't use this secret passage. Torture the Taoist temple Those people in the middle, see if there is any other way to find the entrance of the cave. You must not interrogate Su Chang lightly. If you want to interrogate him, you have to starve him for a few days. Ask him when he is dying, and you must not look at him during the interrogation. Both eyes, every question must bear his name..."

Song Gu hurriedly interrupted Wu Chen:

"Since we can't be sure that nothing will go wrong, Mr. Wu's business must not be in danger! Let's go back first, and after torture and interrogate a few people, it is the best policy to come again after a proper plan. There are people waiting for us to save in the cave, but rash actions will make more people lost. Life is not right."

Yu Shi'an also said: "Song Tixing is right! Mr. Wu must not act hastily."

Wu Chen naturally knew the pros and cons, but he was more aware of his own abilities. This time he went down to explore the road. He could be said to be foolproof. Apart from stabbing him in the back, nothing else should be feared, and there would definitely be no secret tricks in the tunnel.

Not to mention that the mechanism traps are mostly set in places where people rarely walk around, such as tombs and treasure secret rooms, and this secret passage is frequently used, and the mechanism is not controlled by computers.

Just look at Su Chang's calculations, he wanted to wait for his fake death and escape back to the mountain, so naturally he couldn't use the entrance of the cave that was on the surface at that time, he must want to go back to the cave through this secret passage, and the sooner the better, even if there was He will also clear the organs in advance.

Su Chang made the worst plan, but he didn't believe he would come to this point.

Wu Chen deduced that instead of setting up a trap in the secret passage and putting his own people at risk of making mistakes, it would be better to arrange a ghost to guard the entrance of the cave and obey orders on weekdays. When Su Chang is not around, he will be imprisoned at the entrance of the cave, and other people want to get close to the confused So he died, but it was easy.

Su Changying has the ability to make the evil spirit obey orders, and Wu Chen has the ability to send the evil spirit away.

So Wu Chen wasn't afraid, nor was he worried. If he didn't establish a glorious image at this time, when would he?Just like in front of Gu You in Shan'ao, Wu Chen waved his hands chicly and said:

"Su Changming is the owner of the cave on the surface, but in fact, we all know that he is just a part-time worker, no, he works for others. How can Prince Cheng let him here alone to discuss with us? We were not fooled last night. , I discovered this secret passage today, if I don’t take advantage of the victory to pursue it, even if it’s only a few hours later, if I come back tomorrow, there will be abnormalities in the secret passage here, and the situation will only be more dangerous than it is now.”

Song Gu wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Wu Chen, who said:

"None of the people we are imprisoning now has any humanity! They should know that once their identities are exposed, no matter how they behave, they will die. It only depends on the way of death. Why should they tell the truth? I said before that that day I asked a few people in the Taoist temple to enter the mortuary to identify the corpse. At that time, I wondered how they could come out of it several times. , Now I finally understand that they are sending living people to Su Chang, they must have been to that cave, and they don’t know if they have entered or not, but they have already practiced their courage.”

Song Gu took a deep breath.

Yu Shi'an said: "In this case, I will immediately dispatch troops, and tonight I will order all the yamen servants to guard here, and wait..."

"It doesn't matter how many people there are, if I can't do it, no one can do it." Wu Chen looked at Yu Shi'an seriously and said.

This time Yu Shian did not refute.

Wu Chen added: "Perhaps it is the safest time to go down to explore the road at this time. There are things in the cave... but I can't help it."

Wu Chen took out the small jug from his arms and handed it to the second grader, "Second brother, please help me fill it with clean water."
