Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 303 Exhortation (Part [-])
It was only these two days that Wu Chen figured it out. In his previous life, when handling a case, every link in the chain of evidence had to be investigated thoroughly. He originally brought this habit into this life. When handling the case in the early stage, he didn't let go of any detail. Until that night when he met the Queen Mother, Wu Chen flinched a little.

It is said that the Queen Mother is not involved in this case. Wu Chen does not believe it. The Queen Mother and the female ghost are the same father, and they have received similar education since they were young. Wu Chen also saw that the Queen Mother is not normal.What is the purpose of the resentful souls left by the queen mother in the palace?How did the nagging queen mother fall in love with the late emperor?Can the edict in Li Yi's hand be used only in this way?

These secrets that have been hidden for more than 20 or [-] years, the Li family's uncles and nephews are not allowed to talk about them in depth?How can Wu Chen listen to these contents?
If Wu Chen continues to pursue this case, if Li Heng doesn't silence him, he will be ashamed to live again!

But the others didn't know the inside story. After arriving in the study, Song Gu began to analyze the case, and Yu Shi'an added a sentence from time to time. The sophomore in high school also became a sensible person, and occasionally summed up the two sentences quite well.

Only Xu Da, like Wu Chen, remained silent.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Uncle Qin came over to say that it was time to prepare some food and drink, Wu Chen hurriedly raised his hand to stop him:
"It's not appropriate for your master to drink alcohol at this time, and it's not that he was acquitted. Right now, the government is in a state of desperation. Let's have fun here, aren't we asking for trouble?"

After thinking about it, Yu Shi'an thought it was right, and said casually: "Just eat as you like, maybe there will be a decree later, I still have to go back to the prison."

Wu Chen said:
"Probably not. The officials don't have time to think of you now. Even if they want to go back, they will be locked up for another day or two at most. I'm going to seize a time when the officials are in a good mood, and I will mention leaving the capital. With Kyoto as the center, I will search for the north and south, send away the lonely souls and wild ghosts left in the world, and return this world to a clear request."

"Let's not wait to be regarded as a prince, Chen Zhong and the others will be punished?" The second year of senior high school asked puzzled.

Wu Chen smiled and said: "Tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow will be their death day, of course I want to see it!" He restrained his smile and said:
"Originally, the officials wanted to deal with it quietly. After all, it was a scandal involving the royal family. Fortunately, the officials still have some brains. After weighing the pros and cons, they thought of making an announcement to the world. At least those hidden accomplices can know that their master is gone, so what should they do? Otherwise, they will all be thinking about coming to the capital to save people. I won't be exhausted?"

Several people did not speak.

After a while, Uncle Qin came with his servants carrying food, but Wu Chen got up and said:

"It's rare to have nothing to do tonight. I went home to have a meal with Brother Datou. I have been in Kyoto for a few days, but I didn't have a meal with Brother Datou. It's really wrong. You should go back to your respective homes. Song Tixing will follow me. Lao Yu, you are guarding your daughter. You don't have time to accompany you on weekdays. If the officials don't think of you, hurry up and accompany me."

Uncle Qin hurriedly said: "The food is ready..."

"There are so many people in the mansion, there are no more left! Those in your mansion who were injured and died because of Yuan Niang...give more compensation, tell me if there is not enough money, I don't need it now..."

"Keep your little money, I won't treat them badly, you can rest assured." Yu Shi'an said seriously.

……

Wu Chen asked Gao Er and Xu Da to go home quickly, and then took Song Gu back home.

The eight newcomers to the family took good care of Datou. Datou was sitting at the round table eating happily. Seeing Wu Chen came back, he was even more happy to eat an extra bowl.

After finishing the meal, Wu Chen called the eight people into the courtyard and said:

"I can't remember your names, and the time at home is short. I need time to remember your appearance. In this way, can you arrange them in order of age, from the oldest to the eighth, so that I can remember them conveniently, and you don't have to change your names. Do you think that would be good?"

The eight people nodded in unison.

Wu Chen also said:

"I don't have so many rules. Just take good care of my big brother and keep the house from being a mess. I have a very good personality and don't lose my temper easily, but once I get angry, it will be life-threatening. You should know what you do before you do anything. Although you are sent by the government, I don't pay attention to Xing Yun, so put away your temptations and work hard!"

The eight people were stunned for a moment, then nodded in unison.

Wu Chen thought about it with his hands behind his back, and felt that he had nothing to say, so he waved his hands and said, "Go and do your work."

Wu Chen turned around and went back to the house.

Song Gu sat in the house and drank tea. After eating too much, he consciously went for a stroll in the front and back yards.

Song Gu asked: "If we leave the capital, will you still take the big head?"

"I really hesitated, at least I have to take it with me in the early stage, and I won't take it when I find a place where I feel safe, but I don't really want to take you with me."

"Why?" Song Gu put down the tea bowl and asked anxiously.

"You also have a family, how can you run around with me?"

"Occasionally go back and stay for a couple of days, but it's not like you won't go back after you come out. Does it mean that he won't marry a wife for the rest of his life if you take the big head?"

Speaking of marrying a daughter-in-law, Wu Chen thought of Chen Nanzhu for some reason. He was about to analyze the fact that the officials did not let Chen Nanzhu out of the palace. When he saw Song Gu's face, he realized that Song Gu did not recognize Chen Nanzhu, so he changed the subject and said:

"I just thought that we would avoid suspicion while the officials were dealing with family affairs. When the provincial officials saw us, they would think of the person who made him trouble."

Song Gu nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. We should not participate in the following matters, but... you said that the five-color jade is not in Prince Cheng's mansion, where would it be? Yuan Shuchun has it, and Chen Zhong also has it..."

"The one in Yuan Shuchun's hands is most likely in the Dachang Princess's Mansion. The officials wanted to keep it secret before, but now that they want to tell the world, the Dachang Princess's Mansion will definitely be confiscated. We don't even know if we can find it. As for Chen Zhong's... It should be in Li Yi's hands. As for where it is hidden, the officials will not let me know."

"I still don't worry about you."

"I don't feel relieved if I change it, it's already the best to be like this."

Song Gu nodded in agreement.

"You are too heartless, why don't you wait for me to have dinner together?"

Gu Shiming's voice came from the yard, followed by Gu Shiming shaking his fan and pushing open the door: "If the big head didn't know me, I wouldn't even be able to enter your house!"

Wu Chen chuckled and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"After seeing Li Yi, the officials continued the old days with Chen Zhong... Do you think you are hurting or not? You threw Chen Zhong and the others in that stinky place, but you wanted to get them out. That's good. When the officials want to see you, I just remembered that Chen Zhong is still in that secret room. Hurry up and get them out, that smelly! He was spitting and vomiting inside, and there was no clean place from head to toe. Yuan Shuchun was tied up and couldn't move, otherwise he would definitely strangle Chen Zhong to death."

Song Gu shook his head.
