Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 24 Work (Part [-])
"Don't be angry, let's talk about your life first. If there is really a grievance, I will try to find a way to see if I can fulfill your wish. However, if you are paranoid and think that the only way to go is to take the order of the county magistrate. Sorry I can't help you."

Wu Chen thought that the woman in front of him just encountered too many injustices during her lifetime, couldn't think about it, and died of hatred at a young age, so she stubbornly wanted to see those who bullied him punished, and refused to leave.

Most of the women in this life are miserable, even if they get married, it depends on the ability of their mother's family, otherwise they will be angry in the husband's family, not to mention the women who have fallen into prostitution, these are beyond Wu Chen's control.

Unexpectedly, after the woman finished explaining the cause of death, Wu Chen stood up and said with a very serious expression: "Tomorrow I will try my best to find out the case! If you can't fulfill your wish and punish that dog official, I will take off my job." With this clothes, go back and continue to be a beggar!"

……

The next morning, Wu Chen got up and went to find Chen Zhong.

The little eunuch had just finished taking care of Chen Zhong to wash up, and he hadn't had breakfast yet.

Chen Zhong actually greeted Wu Chen to sit down and have breakfast with him in a pleasant manner. Wu Chen hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, for your love! I'll go back to eat later. I really have something difficult to do when I come here. I think To go to the county government office, you need to use Si Zun's name to investigate an old case."

When Wu Chen said it directly, Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked, "May it have something to do with the col?"

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Zhong frowned.

Wu Chen hurriedly explained: "It can't be regarded as irrelevant. It was a coincidence that I learned that there was a grievance in this old case. Si Zun still remembers that day before I went up to the mountain, I went to the village by the mountain and asked Song County Lieutenant Come with me?"

Chen Zhong nodded.

"Speaking of which, Sir is willing to believe me. I want to inquire about the things in the mountain depression, but there is no living person who can ask, so I have to ask the ghosts passing by. They can see what we can't see, and know what we don't know. It so happens that I can see them, so naturally I have to use them."

"They asked you to help them with their life and death, and then they will tell you the answer you want to know, and provide you with a way to find the entrance of the col?"

Wu Chen had a 'leader wise' expression, and flattered him seriously:
"Si Zun is really good. I just said the beginning, and Si Zun can figure out the cause and effect. Now the difficult thing in the mountain depression is to find the underground entrance without losing any soldiers or generals! There must be someone in the Ghost Mandrill Gang who is good at this job, and we should have one too, but I can’t quench my thirst from far away, so I just try to do my best, and it’s not bad to ask more questions, so I’m getting myself into trouble.”

"Go, I'll let Gu You...I'll let the sophomore take my token to go with you and find out the case as soon as possible."

Wu Chen hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Sizun! With such two-handed preparations, Sizun continues to lay bait, I will try to find out some useful ones, there will always be one that will come in handy."

"The Northern Man is about to send troops." Chen Zhong said calmly, as if asking again: Wu Chen, what do you think?
Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "From this point of view, the things in the mountain must be protected even if they die!"

Chen Zhong nodded and waved his hand again, Wu Chen retreated knowingly.

……

Wu Chen didn't go directly to the county government office, but let Gao Er accompany him to the house where he and Datou climbed over the wall to avoid the rain that night, and asked Gao Er to find someone to go to the county government office, and ordered the county magistrate Jiang Shan to take the yamen servants as soon as possible. Come here.

Wu Chen never asked why Chen Zhong escaped to this dilapidated house that night. If he didn't ask him, he would have thought that the place where Chen Zhong lived was not far from this house, or even just next door.

If Wu Chen didn't ask, the sophomore year of high school would naturally not talk about it.

The two strolled to the gate of the courtyard, and someone had already opened the gate and waited there.

The two entered the courtyard gate and walked around the screen wall. Wu Chen stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The sophomore asked: "What do you mean? Standing here waiting for the county magistrate? Are you not tired?"

"He doesn't dare to delay, he should be here soon, we can avoid suspicion by standing here, if we find something in the backyard later, don't say we arranged it in advance."

With tall arms and round waist, he raised his eyes and said loudly: "Who dares to suspect that I work in the Imperial City Investigative Department?!"

"He didn't dare to say it outright, and he said it behind his back to make things difficult for Si Zun. He was able to serve as the county magistrate for two consecutive terms in Anping County. I don't believe that he has no support in the capital! Anping County is rarely affected by the war. It is prosperous, how can he, the county magistrate, make less money? Although I have never been to other places, I know that the Anping county magistrate is a fat job."

The second year of high school turned to look at Wu Chen inquiringly, and said, "You said that you, a little beggar, can actually understand the articles in this article. It's really strange. No wonder you are appreciated by the master."

Wu Chen chuckled and said, "Being an official, the past and the present are roughly the same."

"Do you still know ancient and modern times? Have you read history books?" The second year of high school asked curiously.

"I should have read it, but... I don't remember it. I can recognize some characters, but if you ask me to write them, I can write them. It's just ugly, and you may not know them."

The two chatted for a few words, and the magistrate Jiang Shan hurriedly led the yamen servant into the yard, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"It's time for County Magistrate Jiang, let's move to the backyard."

Wu Chen didn't give Jiang Shan a chance to make love, he didn't even salute Jiang County Magistrate, and walked straight to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Shan followed behind, his heart beating wildly. Not to mention him, even his relatives in the capital had to give them face. Dare.

When he came to the backyard again, Wu Chen was a little emotional. This place changed his life in this life. He couldn't see the house carefully on a rainy night. Today, after the rain, the sky cleared, and he had a panoramic view of the courtyard.

There are no trees in the courtyard, but pomegranate bonsai is placed, and the indigo vat is on the platform. There are only a few dilapidated green bricks in the courtyard, and most of the other places are muddy. After last night's rain, it looks even more muddy.

"Thank you, county magistrate Jiang ordered people to dig up all of this courtyard..." Wu Chen said while standing on the corridor, pointing to the courtyard.

Jiang Shan suddenly panicked, this yard can't be dug, dug...

"This... I don't know how to address him, did I hear some gossip?"

Jiang Shan wiped the sweat off his face, his voice trembled a little, and his thin body trembled a little too, making the goatee tremble along with it.

Wu Chen didn't even look at Jiang Shan, but straightened his waist, and said with a bit of dignity: "If the county magistrate Jiang doesn't do anything about it, I can send someone from the investigation department to dig. You just need to watch from the sidelines." Just put it on."

Jiang Shan hurriedly said: "The sage said: I am afraid that the things in the eyes are not true. How can you believe everything behind the scenes? Why don't you go to the county government first and explain the matter. If necessary, I will order people to come to dig the ground immediately. How about it?" ?”

Wu Chen sneered and said:

"No need to go back and forth, I can affirm that there are bones in the ground, and there is more than one. County magistrate Jiang is the parent officer of Anping County. When did this house become abandoned? Who did the bones that died in the courtyard belong to? Why did they die here? Is it a vendetta? Is it a mistake? Is it a disregard for human life? During Jiang County Magistrate's tenure, he... didn't know at all?"

　happy weekend!
　　I heard that most areas will cool down on weekends, and the temperature will drop by a large margin, and then the temperature will rise rapidly, so you must pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes, so as not to catch a cold.
