Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 2 Seize the Opportunity (Second Update)
'I didn't commit suicide! ' Wu Chen thought in his heart, with an expression of excitement on his face.

The master squinted at Wu Chen, his brows gradually gathered. It was obviously the first time he met someone who was not afraid of him, but excited.

Seeing the master not moving, Wu Chen was a little anxious, and urged, "Do it, don't you want to kill me?"

The master was confused, only to hear him ask in a low voice: "Si Zun, will you kill me or not?"

"Help me up first."

The master bent down and lifted the man up to lean against a pillar, Wu Chen saw the man's face clearly, it was a round face, fair and clean, if it wasn't for the hair tied up, it wouldn't look like an old woman No.

Wu Chen immediately understood that this was a big deal!

This kind of person can leave the capital and be hunted down, can it be a small matter?In this way, it is certain to die!

Unexpectedly, the man closed his eyes and asked, "How about the casualties?"

The master bowed and replied: "Except for the sophomore, Qian Yong, and Xu Da who are still fighting with the bandits, the others... are all dead, and the person who came here is a member of the Ghost Gang."

"They are quite courageous! Go and help the three of them. If you can't, someone will lose their life."

"But..." The master pointed at Wu Chen.

"If it wasn't for him, he just showed up and yelled, I can't wait for you to save me, so don't worry."

Wu Chen just blinked his eyes, and the master had already arrived in the courtyard.

"come here."

Wu Chen squatted directly beside the man.

"Beggar?" The man looked at Wu Chen and asked.

"Yes." Wu Chen nodded.

"Why do you rest here?"

"In the afternoon, I saw that the weather was not right. I couldn't grab a good place like a ruined temple outside the city, and I would be beaten out if I went there. It's better to find a house in the city to hide from the rain."

"Oh? How do you know that this house is uninhabited?"

"Pay attention for several days, not to mention the gate, the door of the corner door is covered with dust, it can be seen that there are no servants coming in and out, even the servants don't have any masters? But we didn't enter the house, we just rested on the porch. break."

"Just now, why did you save me?"

At this moment, some causal relationships flashed in Wu Chen's mind, and he seemed to see a little bit of hope. If he handled it properly, he might not need to start the wheel again.

"You look like a good person... I have no other skills, I can only yell when I see injustice, which is just a yell. If your people don't come, I will at most accompany you to talk with you on the road to Huangquan, and I won't be able to save you. Life, don't treat me as a savior, I know that you have your own rules..."

"Can you, see that we are, on errands?"

"I don't know what kind of errand I'm doing. It's just that you are a nobleman. How can there be a trivial matter between noblemen? In fact, it's okay to die. Since I came to this world, I haven't had a full meal. It's better to have a good meal again." Take a chance and try your luck." Wu Chen simply sat down on the ground as he spoke, with an air of confiding in his heart.

"How do you know that in this life, you will be a beggar for the rest of your life?" The man looked very weak.

"I also try to go to restaurants, teahouses, wineshops, first to find a side dish (xiaoer), a doctor of tea, and so on. In case I meet a noble person one day, I can... right? But my clothes are not The tattered clothes covering the body were blasted away. Besides, I have never eaten or drank. If I am really asked to do this, who will teach me? I have also thought about doing coolies... In fact, I have nothing to do with beggars. Different, not to mention cliques, if you have no work, you will be hungry."

"Not afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid! Living is harder than dying." Wu Chen faced the wall, his eyes shining brightly, only listening to this nobleman, he felt that he didn't have to die again, and he hoped to leave the beggars' gang, although the future was full of dangers , or even fear for his life, but it is better than starving, being bullied and freezing to death on the street, and in another month, it will be cold.

"Can you know some martial arts tricks... It's okay if you don't, let Gu You teach some self-defense first, are you willing to work with me?"

"Do I need to sign a contract of sale? Then I won't do it. I have done this kind of thing before, so I just do it if I don't want to. It's not that I don't know what is good or bad. If you give me food, I will work hard for you and will not rape you." Slippery..."

"You don't need to sell yourself. The previous dynasty liked to do things like this. It's not very useful. But you have to obey orders. You have seen it today. It's very easy for me to take your life."

"Don't worry about that. I will be very attentive when I have an errand. If you do something wrong, you can just click me! It's just..." Wu Chen pointed to the big head that was stuck to the severed head: "Can you take him with you?"

The man nodded.

It was raining heavily before, but it seemed that it was only for a moment, and the rain stopped.

There was no sound of weapons colliding in the courtyard, and it was quiet. Wu Chen looked into the courtyard and said, "Our people are still standing."

……

In the eighth year of Jingyun, just two years have passed since the truce between Xingguo and Beiman, the peace talks have dragged on and have not yet been reached.

The court was divided into two factions, some advocated to make a concession, and some advocated to go further. As long as the upper court discusses this matter, there will be a lot of quarrels.

Not long after Emperor Jingyun inherited the great unification, he went on a personal conquest. Although it did not change the situation of the battle, he let his courtiers know that this young emperor was not as lenient as the previous emperor, but rather sharp-edged, but so what?

Today, there is still the "Four Oath Monument" of the Taizu in the Taimiao Temple. When the heir succeeds to the throne, he kneels and reads it. There are four precepts: no marriage;

The ancestral teachings cannot kill literati, so civil servants are naturally more courageous, but the ancestral teachings also say that they cannot cede land, so peace talks are naturally more difficult. The army stranded on the border retreated only twenty miles, but they did not dare to withdraw their troops. It's all silver.

Beiman put forward three demands, one is marriage, if not, Xingguo women are not used to the life of Beiman; No, every inch of land in the foundation of the ancestors will be contested.

Beiman was in a hurry, so let's continue fighting, and Xingguo was unambiguous, and the envoys of the two countries immediately fought, scratching their heads, scratching their faces and pulling their hair, but no one dared to use weapons.

Beiman is more unbearable than Xingguo to continue the war. Emperor Jing Yun knows this very well. The secret agents of Xingguo lurking in Beiman keep spreading the news of Beiman royal court to Kyoto. It's okay to faint for a while, who wants to lead the army and leave the royal court at such a time?

It stands to reason that at such a time, it would be easy to negotiate a peace agreement, but Xingguo has worked carefully in Beiman, so how could Beiman be honest in Xingguo?The controversy in the court hall was further and one step back when the envoys of the northern barbarians spoke out when they were furious. The news was sent back to the capital, and Emperor Jing Yun ordered a strict investigation!

Who checks?Naturally, it is the Imperial City Investigation Division under the Imperial City Division.
