Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 334 This Neighbor Has a Problem (Part [-])

Liu's house is located at the deepest part of this alley, there is no house on the right, a row of willow trees stands by the river, and across the river is a horizontal street, facing the alley is the back of a two-story shop, Xu Da said that passing through that street is the city wall.

Standing at the gate of Liu's house, Wu Chen could see the majestic city wall not far away.

Wu Chen asked the yamen servant about the conditions of the alleys in front of and behind Liu's house. The yamen servant said that there are six alleys in this area, which are in order, and most of the residents are merchants. The only difference is that the road in front of Liu's house is wider than other places. It is suitable for two carriages to enter and exit at the same time.

Wu Chen nodded and walked towards the gate of the house next to Liu's house.

There was dust on the gate of this house, and there was no answer after calling for a long time, so Gu You climbed over the wall to look inside, and then climbed over the wall and said: "No one, it seems that no one has lived there for a while."

Wu Chen frowned and said, "You have an injury on your body, so don't make such unfavorable actions for the wound. It's not a big problem if there is anyone else. Let's go, let's go to the next one."

Gu You lowered his head with a complicated expression, Xu Da patted Gu You on the shoulder and said softly, "Brother Wu is different from Chen Zhong."

Gu You nodded.

The next one opened the door very quickly. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue robe, with a square face and a strong body. He was a little cautious when he saw the yamen servant. The front yard enters the main room inside the second gate.

Wu Chen looked around as he walked, no matter in the front yard or in the second gate, he couldn't feel the popularity everywhere, and he seemed to be defeated, but the middle-aged man only wore a long robe, but he didn't shrink his neck, rubbing his hands felt cold. Actions.

Wu Chen and the others followed the middle-aged man into the house. The house was not warm. When they first entered the house, there was no heat blowing over them.

Wu Chen couldn't help asking, "How do you keep warm?"

The man smiled wryly, "I don't have any extra money to buy charcoal. I'll order someone to bring some hot tea."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, we'll leave after asking a few words. Since there are servants, why is it you who opened the door? You live here alone?"

Although Wu Chen asked like this, he heard the breathing of another person in the backyard.

The man didn't insist, and after arranging a few people to sit down, he said:

"The people who live near here are all merchants. Most of them are not from Kyoto, and they travel all year round. It is convenient to buy a house. This year I do business. Alas, I only have an old servant to serve me. I am afraid I will not be able to return during the New Year. home."

"Oh? What kind of business do you do? Do you have a store in the capital?" Wu Chen asked gently.

"Naturally there is a pavement. I have to live in Kyoto for a few months in a year, so I bought the house, but my family members are all in the ancestral house. I am in the silk business. This year, the ship that transported the goods sank and all the goods were destroyed. , Alas, this year is sad."

"Are you only taking one old servant with you when your business is losing money this year, or is it like this every year?"

The man froze for a moment.

Wu Chen hurriedly explained:
"Ten years ago, there was a wealthy businessman in Kyoto. He got his wife behind his back and married a beautiful woman in Kyoto. In this way, no matter where he was, he was always taken care of by a woman. Many wealthy businessmen always have a wife with them." A close-fitting maid, easy to take care of, but you don't have to be as smart as that rich businessman."

The man frowned and asked, "Are you here to ask the Liu family about those things?"

Wu Chen nodded.

"I really don't know anything. I bought this house three years ago, just because it was cheaper here. At that time, I wondered that such a good house was nearly half cheaper than other places. I didn't know until after I bought it... ..."

"How do you know?" Wu Chen asked.

The man's eyes flickered, as if he was recalling how he knew?
"I heard from the guy in the shop."

"Before you bought the house, did no one tell you about the shopkeepers in the shop?"

"No, I didn't tell them then."

"They have been in the capital all year round, so they must know the capital better than you do. Why didn't you ask the locals about such a big deal as buying a house? Especially when the house is so cheap..."

"It's all my fault that I thought I was taking advantage."

"You take us to your shop." Wu Chen stood up.

The man's expression suddenly panicked, and he hurriedly said, "The shop... is closed!"

"Brother, take it!"

Xu Dazao was prepared, and as soon as Wu Chen finished speaking, he rushed at the man, and the man reacted very quickly. He swung his chair and threw it at Xu Da.

With a bang, the door was knocked sideways by the man.

Wu Chen was startled, there were not many people who could escape from Xu Da, but they could also escape from Gu You...

Wu Chen stretched out his palm, and even the window and the door collapsed, the whole wall fell down. The three of them passed through the smoke and walked quickly to the courtyard. Wu Chen thought that the person must have fallen down, but saw a figure just passing by. When the courtyard wall fell to the front yard, Wu Chen took a deep breath and flew up.

Gu You and Xu Da chased to the front yard, where Wu Chen was fighting with that person.

Gu You frowned and looked at the collapsed courtyard wall, but Xu Da's jaw dropped in shock. He had never seen Wu Chen fight with anyone. Who could stand Wu Chen's punch?
Wu Chen's heart was also turbulent at this time. He was sure that the person in front of him was a human being, and he was fighting someone. If it was a ghost, Wu Chen would not be surprised. Personally, and he heard the breath of this person when he entered the yard, and he didn't feel anything wrong. According to the usual practice, his palm just now, if this person is not dead, it will be a serious injury!

But Wu Chen chased him to the front yard, and before the man had time to jump up the wall, he swung his palm with three-point force, but was easily dodged by the man, and then he didn't run away, but turned around and attacked Wu Chen .

Wu Chen doesn't know how to move. He only knows that a palm and a punch carry strength. Where the strength reaches, it is difficult for manpower to resist it. However, this person is extremely dexterous. As long as Wu Chen swings his palm and punches, he seems to be able to judge the position in advance. , dodge, and then attack Wu Chen while Wu Chen is puzzled and dazed. Fortunately, Wu Chen is faster than that person, and can dodge in time before punching...

The two seemed to be both attacking and hiding, but the speed was extremely fast, making people dazzled.

Gu You and Xu Da glanced at each other, and Gu You shouted: "I'm coming!"

"You can't beat it!" Wu Chen shouted: "You two go to the backyard, there is still someone there, if you can beat it, beat it, if you can't beat it, run away, and call more people, remember to advance and retreat together!"

Xu Da turned around and left, Gu You was stunned for a moment, Xu Da turned back and said:

"If you want to follow Brother Wu, you have to learn what he says and what we do right away, don't worry about him, we're not here, he has less scruples, and he can let us go because he knows how to deal with it, listen to him, That person in the backyard may not be easy to deal with!"

Only then did Gu You start to follow.
