Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 360 The Prime Minister Arrives! (two more)
Song Gu said: "Even if we don't get out the hot people down there, those people will."

Wu Chen said angrily:
"In the final analysis, if I want to completely solve this matter, I have to go down to lure that thing out sooner or later, and take the treasure away. I don't know if I can send it away, but it can definitely send me away! And change it to another place? Officer My family really thinks highly of me!"

Seeing that Wu Chen was in a hurry, Xing Yun restrained his smile and said:
"I just thought of you when you came out, and I couldn't hold back for a while... The official was very anxious and didn't have dinner at night. The official knew that this was not easy, but the official said that with you here, they will definitely find a way to get rid of the disaster. I What can I say?"

Wu Chen didn't speak.

Song Gu hurriedly repeated the analysis just now, and Xing Yun frowned. After Song Gu finished speaking, Xing Yun asked, "They try it every winter, why haven't they been discovered once?"

"In addition to relying on the cover of the night, the nearby residents may have been replaced by their people long ago. This matter must be reminded to Shangfu Yin. He was asked to evacuate the nearby residents last night. I don't know how he evacuated them. These people are Isn't it still under control? Furthermore, if the deduction is correct, they were the ones who brought out the big and the little ones last night, and they caused the fire tonight. It's not something that only a father and son can do. There will be many people coming..."

"You can't go in or out of this neighborhood since yesterday, and today it's known all over the city. Those people are not stupid, so how come they come back?" Senior Secondary asked.

Wu Chen put his big head down gently, then stood up, walked to the door and opened the door, a gust of cold wind brought snowflakes onto his face.

"Maybe they didn't dare to come, but they will definitely go to the vicinity to inquire about the news. Shangfu Yin has arranged people to guard outside. I don't know if they have caught one or two."

Xing Yun and the second grader walked to Wu Chen, and the second grader sighed, "It's really big under the snow!"

There was a row of soldiers holding torches at the door of the room, and soldiers from the yamen government kept running to the backyard carrying water amidst the flying snowflakes.

Xing Yun squinted his eyes and asked: "Is it possible that those people have the ability to summon wind and snow?"

Wu Chen shouted, "Boss!"

After a while, the boss hurried over from the front yard.

"Find someone to go to the government office and tell Shangfu Yin that no matter where the surrounding residents are arranged, they must send more people to take care of them! Eight of you, divided into two groups, one group guards the underground entrance of Liu's residence, and the other The group guards this courtyard, and if you need anything, you can ask Shangfu Yin for what you want, bows and arrows, as long as you think it is useful, just come!" The boss nodded heavily.

Wu Chen also said:

"You tell them to stay where you are, no matter what happens to me here, no matter who comes and advises you to leave your position to save me, don't believe it, just stay where you are, I can't die! With Xing Yun's testimony, it's true If there is any accident, you are also obeying orders, if you make your own decisions, it will kill me instead, do you understand?"

The boss nodded again.

Wu Chen waved his hand, and the boss disappeared into the night.

Wu Chen turned his head and said to Song Gu: "I have Lao Song Tixing to take care of Big Brother." Then he walked into the yard, Xing Yun followed up and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to lure that thing out again tonight?"

"Since they have already prepared for us, wouldn't it be a pity for them if we don't use it?"

The sophomore in high school also followed up and asked, "But you can't beat it, so what if you lead it out?"

"I'll lead it out, you two go down and quickly take the treasure chest..."

"I'll call you big brother! You really think highly of both of us!" There was a sense of fear in the tone of the sophomore.

Xing Yun snorted and said, "Although I don't want to agree, I feel that the two of us cannot handle this errand."

Wu Chen stood still, looked at the yard that was almost covered with ice, and tried his feet, but it was a bit slippery.

The second year of high school also tried it and said: "If you fight, you will fall down first before you can get up."

Xing Yun asked: "Who do you think can step forward in that scene?"

"Even if it's just the two of us, it's unavoidable to slip and fall due to negligence..."

"That's you, I won't!"

"You're talking lightly now, but when you see it, you'll be as lost as a soul. I'll see if your legs are still obedient!"

Wu Chen waved his hands and said, "You two should stay away for a while."

"Are you going to die alone?" the sophomore asked.

"In a while, put all the water bags prepared by the eight brothers outside the wall, and the two of you will be responsible for throwing the water bags for me..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, a soldier ran in to report: "The prime minister has arrived at the gate of the house."

Wu Chen turned his head and asked Xing Yun, "Who?"

"Zeng Tai." After Xing Yun finished speaking, he asked back: "I said who do you know?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "Let's go, see the prime minister first."

……

Zeng Tai doesn't want to come, but he can't.

After Xing Yun left, Li Heng declared him an audience, and he knew that nothing good would happen.

As expected, it was another case that could not be told the truth to the outside world. Li Heng wanted to take a look at it himself, but he knew it was not something he wanted to do now!
Shang Gong thought that he could take a rest when he returned to the government office, but he didn't expect the little eunuch to come just after drinking the tranquilizing medicine.

Candles were brightly lit in Wende Hall, and Zeng Tai heard Shang Gong finish the matter tremblingly, but he didn't say a word. The hall was quiet for a long time, before Zeng Tai said: "Your Majesty should leave the capital first, and wait until the... Come back later."

Upon hearing this, Shang Gong wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "What Prime Minister Zeng said is absolutely true, when His Majesty leaves the capital, Wu Chen may be more free..."

"Do you think it's because of me that he didn't do anything now?" Li Heng closed his eyes and rested, without opening them.

Shang Gong hurriedly said: "Right now, I don't know what treasure that monster is guarding. I can guess that it must be extremely important just by seeing Wu Chen almost die. Those people have waited for ten years, no matter whether Wu Chen can get it or not. I am afraid that even the capital will be difficult to stabilize, so..."

Li Heng waved his hand, opened his eyes and said, "Except for the underground things, there is no need to worry about anything else. If they had that kind of ability, they wouldn't have waited for ten years in secret."

Zeng Tai said: "The curfew can be set up at Haishi tonight, and the new army will be ordered to patrol, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city..."

"The new army can't do it, let's use the forbidden army."

Zeng Tai and Shang Gong looked at each other, both of them knew in their hearts that the new army was under the control of the Imperial City Division, and even though Chen Zhong was dead, the officials were still worried.

The three of them discussed how to use troops tonight, and Shang Gong felt a little more at ease. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Heng smiled and asked, "Scared?"

Shang Gong nodded honestly and said:
"Deputy Envoy Wu's bravery is unparalleled! Not only I was scared, but everyone in the courtyard was also scared. I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes. Before I came, I just drank a bowl of soothing soup. Deputy Envoy Wu said that nothing will happen tonight. , coupled with Zeng Xiang's arrangement just now, my heart is finally at ease."

Li Heng smiled and said:

"You still don't understand Wu Chen. When Xing Yun reported back, I knew that Wu Chen would definitely do something tonight!"

Shang Gong opened his mouth in surprise, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
