Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 327 Chen Nanzhu is Coming (Part [-])
The common people have roughly the same understanding of Wu Chen, but they also have their own perspectives. The old man’s Wu Chen is a god-man who investigates cases in the sun during the day and walks in the underworld at night. If he really wants to find his father, he should just open his mouth and give orders. How can the old man not be afraid of the matter?
The man who had seen Wu Chen fly over his head just now sat down on the ground with his legs limp, pointed at Wu Chen and said, "Just now, he, he flew over."

The man gestured in an arc, but unfortunately no one looked at him.

The old man kowtowed to Wu Chen and said in a trembling voice:

"After the eldest brother of the Cheng family died of illness, someone came to the door and asked us, Xiugu, if she came home to say something? Since Xiugu married into the Liu family, I will not let her come back. She sneaked back twice... I I sent her back again. After Dalang died, I went to Liu's house, but Xiugu didn't say a word to me. Later, several brothers of Liu's family died one after another. Xiugu came back with the children, saying, saying To keep the child, she said she might die too..."

"Did you ask why?"

"The child's mother asked. Xiugu said that the parents-in-law died suddenly. There was no separation between the brothers, and there was a gap between the brothers. She heard Dalang talk about it. In the inn, there is nothing to worry about for several generations, but the old man of the Liu family died before explaining where the gold and silver of his ancestors were kept. These sons were considered united at the beginning, but after Dalang died, the remaining few did not care. It stopped, Da Lang died strangely, the brothers just found the location of the old house, Da Lang died..."

"Have they been to the old house?"

"Yes, but I don't know where Xiu Gu is. Da Lang didn't leave a single word before his death. After Da Lang died, those brothers didn't respect her anymore. After returning, she seemed to be very frightened, and then died of illness one after another, and strange noises could be heard in their house every day. Aunt Xiu was worried that it would hurt the child, so she wanted to put the child with me. The Liu family is the Liu family, the Cheng family is the Cheng family, the Liu family has offended the ancestors, and the Cheng family cannot be implicated..."

"Later, Gu Xiu died with her child."

"Yes." The old man wiped the corners of his eyes: "This child is also suffering."

"Who collected and buried Xiu Gu after her death? Have you ever visited?" Wu Chen asked.

The old man shook his head and waved his hands, and said hastily: "Xiu Gu's mother wants to go, but I don't let her go, so the Liu family must have provoked something that can't be offended. How dare I let my family go?"

"Since you knew something was weird, why didn't you report it to the authorities?" Song Gu asked.

The old man hurriedly asked: "What did I say when I reported to the official? Said that the ancestors of the Liu family killed all the descendants of the generals?"

Wu Chen looked around and said, "Go to the next one."

The old man said anxiously: "You are gone, what should we do? After Xiugu died, someone came and said, no matter who came to ask, they only said that the married daughter splashed water, and they didn't know about Liu's family. Otherwise, it will definitely kill us.”

Wu Chen snorted and said, "If you don't say it, they might do it after we leave, but you've already said it, and they don't have time to come and kill you. If they do, it's because your ancestors wanted you to go down and stay with them. As you said, this is life!"

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he picked up the person on the ground and walked out of the courtyard.

……

The group of people had been busy all night, and when they returned to the city, the sky was already bright.

Wu Chen handed over the captured three people to the Yamen servants and took them back to the Fuya Dungeon for guarding. He told Shang Gong to go back to rest first, and then go to the Fuya to discuss the case in the afternoon.

Senior Two and Xu Da both went home, and Wu Chen brought Song Gu back to the house. Before he could lie down, the third child came back and said, "Chen Nanzhu is here!"

Wu Chen frowned, and went out to welcome him. When he walked to the front yard, he saw Datou happily accompanying Chen Nanzhu, and the two were chatting and laughing.

Chen Nanzhu combed the usual cloud bun, with all kinds of hairpins, wearing a light pink double-breasted jacket, blue skirt, apricot yellow waistband, standing under the eaves, looking like a lady of every family, where is the messy grave in the middle of the night? A half-shadow of Pinggu who dug the hole by herself?
"Why are you here?" Wu Chen asked with a frown.

Chen Nanzhu pouted and asked, "Why can't I come?"

"I mean you can't go in and out of the palace at will, why bother?" Wu Chen said and turned to lead the way.

Chen Nanzhu and Da Tou walked behind, Da Tou said: "Gu Ping must be bored in the palace, and wants to go out of the palace to relax."

Wu Chen glanced back and asked, "Why are you alone? Even if Chen Zhong didn't arrange a maid, how could the fifth princess have less servants?"

"I don't want anyone by my side. There are eunuchs who send me out of the palace, and they go back at the gate. They will come back to pick me up at the beginning of noon."

Wu Chen nodded, looked back at the happy big head and said, "Talk to big head, I'll go to sleep first, I didn't sleep all night last night."

Chen Nanzhu took two quick steps unhappily, caught up with Wu Chen and frowned and asked, "I finally got the chance to go out of the palace, so you can't sleep in the afternoon?"

"I still have to go to the government office in the afternoon." Wu Chen turned around and said while standing under the eaves.

"Then, isn't it a waste of opportunity for me to go out of the palace this time?" Chen Nanzhu opposed Wu Chen, pouted.

Wu Chen frowned again, and said, "Go into the room first, and I'll sit with you for a while before going to rest."

Chen Nanzhu smiled immediately.

The big head was also very happy, he turned his head and said to the fourth child who followed: "Go and prepare some pastries and fresh fruits."

Wu Chen entered the room and sat down at the round table, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit!"

Chen Nanzhu smiled and sat down on the chair, sat down next to her with his big head and asked: "You just said that the fifth princess likes you very much, but did you never take you out of the palace?"

"How could the fifth princess have a chance to leave the palace? Unless the official brought it with me, the fifth princess begged the official for me to come out this time. Originally, I wanted to bring some food back home, but the eunuch in charge secretly said to me, If I bring it, I will definitely be punished, and the fifth princess cannot eat from outside."

"There is nothing lacking in the palace. You don't need to bring anything. Even if you do, you won't be able to enter the palace. You will be confiscated at the gate of the palace." Wu Chen said.

At this time, the third child and the fourth child entered the house with colorful cakes and tea.

Chen Nanzhu watched them put a plate of pastries on the table, and said with a smile: "I recognize it, this is plum snow cake, this is Guanghan cake, this is glutinous rice cake, right?"

The big head nodded frequently and said, "I like steamed cakes and sheep's blood..."

"That stuff is dirty, the palace doesn't allow it to be eaten."

Wu Chen signaled the third and fourth children to back down, then poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Chen Nanzhu and asked, "You came out of the palace to see us?"

Chen Nanzhu nodded and said: "I knew you arrived in the capital, I thought you would come to see me, waited for several days, but I didn't see you, so I knew you must be busy with something, this is not a good thing in the palace, and I couldn't find anything. "
