Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 190 Goodbye Gu You (Part [-])
Yu Shi'an raised his eyebrows, and said, "Since you've already frightened the snake, then beat him seven inches with a stick to force him to survive!"

The second year of high school said excitedly: "I will immediately order the soldiers to send a letter to Si Zun, that Longgu Mountain should be more lively."

Wu Chen nodded and said, "I don't care which way they go, let's hurry to Longgu Mountain."

After they made an agreement, the pawn sent the news to the capital, and they got on their horses and started on their way again. Half a day later, Wu Chen received the news that the pawn found the traces of the eight apprentices' carriage. Wu Chen only asked about the situation and didn't pay any attention to it. Continue on your way.

……

The group of people only rested for two hours a day, and Datou's convoy did not stop for a moment. Five days later, Wu Chen and the others arrived at the foot of Longgu Mountain first.

As expected, Wu Chen met Gu You.

When Gu You saw Wu Chen again, he was a little excited and his eyes were shining. He grabbed Wu Chen's arm and looked it up and down, and then said: "I also just came here yesterday. Longgu Mountain was besieged four days ago. You Guess who's on the mountain?"

Wu Chen pulled Gu You's hand away, and asked in disgust, "Do we know each other so well?"

The second year of high school couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh.

Gu You coughed lightly in embarrassment, and hurriedly saluted Yu Shi'an and Song Gu with fists clasped.

Yu Shi'an bared his teeth, and regardless of his identity, he sat directly under a tree by the side of the road and asked, "Who did you say was on the mountain?"

Gu You looked at Wu Chen and wanted to say, aren't you smart?you guess?

Wu Chen pointed to the people around him and said:

"Basically everyone I know is here, and some are in prison. You let me guess who, where can I go? You forgot that I was a beggar before, sitting in the Anping County Yamen I don’t know anyone, how can I know who is on the mountain at this moment?”

Gu You laughed and said, "Forget about this, the one on the mountain is the eldest princess."

Yu Shian stood up suddenly, forgetting the pain in his inner thigh, he asked in surprise: "Who?"

Song Gu frowned and asked, "That... aunt from the official family?"

Yu Shi'an asked: "She, is she over 60? She, did she go to the mountains?"

Gu You gestured for them to lower their voices, and then whispered to Wu Chen:
"There is a separate courtyard on the mountain, which was given to the eldest princess by the first emperor in the early years. Your honor asked me to tell you that the nanny of the eldest princess's grandson is from Yang'an County. This grandson has already grown up and married. Now The grandson's daughter was raised in Yang'an County. This little lady was weak since she was a child. She said she asked someone to look at her. If she can't live to be three years old by her side, she'd better find a place in the west to raise her until she's 16 before returning to Kyoto. The little lady is sixteen years old, but she hasn't returned to the capital, I heard that this little lady is very clean, and she is also very delicate, people around her have to bathe every day to get close, otherwise they will get sick."

"That's right!" The sophomore exclaimed excitedly.

Gu You glanced at the second year of high school and said:
"There is a tea garden next to Longgu Mountain, which is the dowry of the second daughter-in-law of the eldest princess. In the past ten years, the three sons of the eldest princess have continuously bought the land around Longgu mountain, and this Longgu mountain has gradually become After taking over their territory, Si Zun said that their purchase of the land was done very covertly, if it wasn't for the detailed investigation of Longgu Mountain this time, I'm afraid they would have been kept in the dark."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and muttered, "It's still a struggle for imperial power."

But Yu Shi'an asked: "So, the eldest princess knows what Prince Cheng has been doing all these years?"

Gu You looked around, and said: "There is no evidence for these, and the lord is just looking for these, and it is a coincidence that Princess Dachang left the capital early in the name of summer vacation, saying that she was going to a tea garden to escape the summer heat, but she actually lived in a tea garden." In the other courtyard on Longgu Mountain."

"Are you sure?" Wu Chen asked.

Gu You smiled and said: "You let the snake hit seven inches, Si Zun ordered people to surround the other courtyard and call the door, until I arrived here yesterday, the door of the other courtyard has not yet opened."

"Has this eldest princess made any noise?" Wu Chen asked.

"The person didn't come out, but he ordered someone to spread the word, saying that he didn't know why the people outside the door were so ignorant of etiquette, and he didn't know what wrong things he did to anger the officials. will open."

Wu Chen looked at Yu Shi'an and asked, "Isn't the official's wish to attack by force?"

Yu Shi'an snorted and asked, "Are you willing to bear the infamy of killing your relatives?"

Song Gu said: "It's best for the eldest princess to open the door and return to the capital voluntarily, otherwise..."

Gu You looked at Wu Chen and said:
"Si Zun said, you will have a way to achieve both. You can't reveal half of the matter in Yang'an County. The capital has surrounded Prince Cheng's mansion, and you haven't given an explanation until now. Otherwise, you don't need to work so hard. Finding an excuse just now is hard to convince. People..."

"How can I have the best of both worlds?" Wu Chen was a little anxious.

Gu You persuaded: "Don't worry, go to my tent to rest first, I received the news that the eight disciples are still a day away from here."

Wu Chen stared, and asked: "How do you know that they are the ones following the pawns? They disappeared for two days, and when they reappeared, the pawns were only judged by the carriage, and they followed all the way without finding anything suspicious... so big Why didn't Si Zun come here? Are you worried that they will go to the capital and make arrangements in the capital?"

"Why are you so angry?" Gu You replied angrily.

Wu Chen waved his hands and said, "It's not with you." After saying that, he looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back.

Wu Chen felt very helpless, and at the same time found it amazing. He felt that as long as he gave clues to many things, Chen Zhong would be able to find out the results and arrange them properly. The actual situation was indeed the same. In turn, Chen Zhong also "trusted" him so much. , thinking that as long as he asked for it, Wu Chen would be able to do it.

But Wu Chen knew that neither of them liked the other in their hearts.

"What should we do now?" Yu Shi'an spread his hands and asked.

Wu Chen turned his head and asked, "When we found their carriage, why didn't we go there? Although we were not on the same road at the time, it was still more than half a day's journey away."

"What you said is probably false. Not only did we waste time in the past, but we may also have fallen into their tricks. Longgu Mountain was closed, and the people on the mountain must be very confused. If we let them know at this time that the carriage of the eight apprentices was attacked , they will be able to determine the reason for the closure of the mountain, and you are afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry before you arrive." Song Gu said.

Wu Chen nodded and said:
"In the end, I don't believe they would have thought that we knew about Longgu Mountain. It's just that these eight apprentices have been doing shady things all year round, and have developed a habit of being cautious. Some abnormal behaviors are also a sign of guilt. If we find them, no matter whether they are true or not, It will give the people on Longgu Mountain time to think about the direction, we stare at them, they may not be able to stare at us, but they can stare at the eight apprentices."

Yu Shi'an said with a smile: "It is estimated that the people on Longgu Mountain have been thinking about where to annoy the officials for the past few days."
