Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 16 Loud noise (second update)
After Song Yu lectured, he turned to look for Wu Chen. He wanted to know what they needed to do next. Is this enough?Do we need to take him back to the Yamen and detain him for a few days?That poppi was seriously injured, and it would be troublesome to take it back, but Song Yu dared not say it.

Wu Chen's satisfied expression made Song Yu heave a sigh of relief, this task is not difficult.

The yamen servants persuaded the neighbors to disperse, Wu Chen said goodbye to the woman, the woman did not say a word to Wu Chen from the beginning to the end, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she didn't know what to say, she just sobbed.

……

A group of people got on their horses and came to the mountainside where Gu You had brought Wu Chen to before, but they didn't expect that Gu You and his people were waiting there.

Wu Chen thanked Song Yu first, and then said goodbye. Song Yu led all the yamen servants and hurried away, for fear of being called up to the mountain together, he didn't want to go.

Gu You glanced at Xu Da and said, "You are injured, don't go up, wait here."

Wu Chen, who was waving at the horse's ass, turned his head and said, "I'm not going up either, just follow the way yesterday and just look for the crack."

Gu You's face sank, and he asked, "If it's still in the same place, would you still be here?!"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "It wasn't there before, but now that I'm here, it's here."

Gu You clenched the hilt of the sword subconsciously, as if he was about to draw the sword and stab Wu Chen in the next moment, but he still held back: "Listen well, if I don't find it when I go up, I don't have to go back and report to Si Zun, I can take you life!"

Wu Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Gu You turned around and left.

Xu Da looked at Gu You's figure, sighed, and turned to ask Wu Chen, "Why are you mad at him?"

"He has no brains." Wu Chen said, looking around, found a big rock, sat on it, and the big head sat next to him.

Xu Da clutched his wound, sat down under a tree, and said, "Being a servant is not an official, so why should you have a brain."

"What you said is wrong. Being an official is to keep your job, and being an officer is to have your brains to save your life. Which one is more important?" Wu Chen asked.

Xu Da shook his head and said: "You have never been a job, so you don't know the rules inside, we can't help ourselves."

"This mountain pass only brought people here, so it can be seen that his official position is higher than you, but the people he brought are all dead. Although this is the order of the Sizun, the villain still did it. How can he make a move? Think about the solution? Or persuade Si Zun not to waste other people's lives? Yesterday you led people to follow the members of the Ghost Gang, but you didn't expect the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind you, but Gu You saw you in danger, so he didn't know what to do Baoquan, do you think this is involuntary?"

Xu Da sighed.

Wu Chen also said:

"This mountain must be extremely important, so that Si Zun will come to Anping County in person. The Ghost Gang hides in the rivers and lakes and never makes trouble, but this time it seems to come out in full force. Don't you think about why?"

"What's the use? It's not something we should really worry about."

"Save your life! If you think about it more, you won't think you are the last one yesterday!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Da sat up straight and asked nervously.

Wu Chen looked up at the sun in the sky, it was dazzling!
"Is there anyone in this world who dares to oppose you?" Wu Chen rubbed his eyes and asked Xu Da.

Xu Da thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Since that's the case, if the Ghost Mandrill Gang doesn't have any real skills, I'm afraid they won't get entangled with you easily. It can be seen how attractive the things in the mountain depression are! But no matter how attractive they are, if they don't have the ability to win them, they can only think about it. What do you think? Why is a hundred-year-old gang so persistent?"

"How would I know!" Xu Da spread his hands.

Wu Chen frowned and looked around and asked, "Don't you think it's too quiet? Yesterday Si Zun dispatched troops to seal the mountain, where did the soldiers come from? Why did they arrive so soon? Where did the Ghost Mandrill Gang come from again yesterday? A lot of people? Were all members of the Ghost Mandrill Gang killed in the battle yesterday? Not necessarily, but why is it so quiet today?"

"The generals sealed off this Beishan..."

Wu Chen interrupted Xu Da's words with a wave of his hand, and said, "If you lie to your own people, you should take it seriously! How many people are needed to seal such a big place?"

"did you mean……"

"Both sides are shaking people, no, they're just dispatching troops and generals. You don't have much time left."

"I don't understand." Xu Da shook his head.

Wu Chen sighed, and said, "It's fine if Si Zun understands it. Someone has to understand it. Just looking at yesterday's layout, Si Zun should have thought of it, so there's no need to worry. It's just Gu You... Forget it, it's useless to talk."

Wu Chen turned his head to look at the length of the boulder, and simply lay down on it, basking in the sun.

Da Tou sat aside and asked softly, "Are you hungry? I brought pancakes."

Wu Chen leaned on his arm and said, "Eat, I'm not hungry."

The big head turned his back, and secretly began to stuff cakes into his mouth.

Xu Da asked puzzledly: "Are you really not worried about what if..."

"He didn't dare to kill me even if he couldn't find it. What am I worried about? It may be useful to scare the officials, but it's useless to me! Just wait, even if he finds it, he won't know how to do it with his brain." If you find the entrance, but you can’t find it, you have to come down and beg me to find it, what’s the use of him threatening me? Reckless man!”

"Gu You usually just obeys orders, if Gu Zuo is here..." Xu Da stopped talking.

Wu Chen didn't ask, he was lying on the big rock, looking at the mountain in front of him, thinking that if the col was still in the place he saw yesterday, then his deduction was correct, what if it wasn't there?

……

I don't know how long after waiting, Wu Chen felt tired from lying down, took Da Tou and Xu Da to sit under the tree, and saw a group of soldiers, there should be five or sixty people, coming from a distance in neat steps, and Wu Chen and the three watched them off. Lead the soldiers up the mountain.

When the pair of soldiers disappeared from sight, Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked Xu Da: "Your communication skills are quite strong. Didn't anyone come down to report the news? Why did these soldiers go up the mountain?"

Xu Da understood the second part of the sentence, and said: "I should have found the mountain depression. I saw that the mountain depression was very big yesterday. Gu You felt that there were few people and worried that he would not find the entrance before dark, so he sent soldiers up the mountain to help. "

Wu Chen turned his head and looked at Xu Da. The answer was irrelevant, so he couldn't ask any more questions, so he said, "I said Gu You has no brains, right? I reminded him yesterday that hidden weapons are indispensable there, so you have to find out." Only people who want to see it..."

"Gu Zuo has already gone to invite you." After Xu Da finished speaking, he immediately panicked, grabbed Wu Chen's arm and said nervously, "You must not tell anyone about this, or..."

"Don't worry! What good does it do me for me to say these things? Only fools do things that harm others and benefit themselves. You will know after a long time in contact with me. There are some things that you don't need to say. I can think of it. This is why Si Zun will save my life." s reason."

Xu Dachang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to speak again easily.

When Wu Chen asked about the Imperial City Secretary again, Xu Da would only say 'I don't know', 'Hmm' and 'Maybe'.

Wu Chen felt bored, and was just about to find a place to sleep, when he heard a loud noise, followed by the ground shaking. Although it was only a few times, the faces of Wu Chen and the three of them were already filled with fear.
