Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 37
"It's the fox showing its tail sooner or later. On the surface, we were the only ones discussing here last night, but can anyone overhear?" Wu Chen asked.

Chen Zhong didn't answer this question. He suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Chen, squinted his eyes and asked, "How do you know they started digging tunnels early?"

Wu Chen said: "There are also ghosts from the Guidiao Gang in the mountain depression. They were trapped and could not be reincarnated. I said I could help them escape, so I told the truth."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and said:
"We need to help them break the soul-receiving formation in the mountain depression before they are willing to talk about the way to close the entrance and underground mechanism, but I listen, this formation is very difficult to break, and the people who set up this formation at the beginning thought it easy It is to use these ghosts to protect the treasure, this trick is obviously very effective, people can’t find the mountain during the day, and there are evil spirits protecting the mountain at night.”

"Soul collection array." Chen Zhong muttered.

"I heard from the old man inside that everyone who knew this formation is dead. It's not that no one tried to break this formation, but they didn't succeed. Sir, does that Yuan Tianshi know this formation? Know yourself It can’t be broken even if it’s here? The old people in the mountain depression can’t believe what they say, and they can’t come out, and all they know are old calendars...”

"So, the only way to forcefully enter the ground during the day..."

Surprised, Wu Chen hurriedly said, "Si Zun, you should think about it. What if the treasure is sealed forever if you force your way in?"

When Wu Chen said this, he was actually thinking about how many people would die because of it.

Chen Zhong laughed and said: "This is the worst policy. If the treasure cannot be used by us to rejuvenate the country, it is okay to be sealed forever."

Wu Chen felt a chill in his heart. Chen Zhong had thought of a way out, and he must have discussed it with the officials. If he couldn't think of another way...

"Go down and rest, this matter is not urgent now."

……

When Wu Chen returned to the house, the big head was in a daze with nothing to do. Seeing Wu Chen, he hurriedly said, "Where have you been? Can you take me with you next time you go out?"

"You may starve if you go out with me, but it's not like you haven't followed before, you may also starve if you bring bread..."

"Then you can do it yourself."

Just as Wu Chen was about to sleep for a while, he heard someone knock on the door.

Datou was very surprised: "Everyone in our room can enter by pushing the door, but there is still someone knocking on the door?"

The big head walked over excitedly and opened the door to see that it was Gu You.

The big head turned and came back.

Wu Chen looked at Gu You with a slumped face, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Gu You entered the room with a plop and knelt down, his head bounced in fright, Wu Chen was also shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "I have something to say, why are you kneeling!"

Gu You tried his best, thinking to say what he asked for first, but he was dragged up by Wu Chen out of control, and now it was Gu You's turn to be shocked.

"you……"

"Shibie three days, you should be blinded! Today I am not yesterday's Wu Chen, tell me, why do you want me? To be honest, I don't think I can help you..."

"Yes! Please save my brother!" Gu You clasped his fists towards Wu Chen, and then gave a deep bow.

"I saved your brother? What happened to him? Was he possessed by a ghost?" Wu Chen asked in surprise.

Wu Chen's appearance was seen by Gu You as deliberately making things difficult. Although he was angry, he could only endure it. He lowered his head and said:

"I will be punished for not being able to invite Tianshi Yuan this time. My brother is eager to make meritorious service and atone for my crime. I hope Brother Wu will forgive me for offending Brother Wu. If you are not angry, please ask Brother Wu to come to me and let Brother Wu go. .”

Wu Chen laughed angrily, and asked, "Why did the two of you brothers offend me?"

Gu You suddenly raised his head, with anger in his expression: "Why do you ask knowingly!"

"I really don't understand what you said. What did you do to me? Si Zun asked you to protect my life. You did it. Although you didn't listen to dissuasion and moved the Shan'ao agency, it almost broke Si Zun's important affairs. I I also helped you solve it, we don't owe each other, your brother... Gu Zuo and I have no intersection? How can you forgive me?"

Gu You stared at Wu Chen's face for a long time, feeling that Wu Chen was not mocking, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Wu Chen pointed to the chair by the table and said, "Sit down. I heard Si Zun say that Gu Zuo is going back to the capital today. I don't understand your rules. Will I be punished if I go back?"

Wu Chen yawned as he spoke, and sat down on the chair opposite.

Gu You didn't sit down, but said, "This kind of punishment is tantamount to losing one's life!"

"Huh?" Wu Chen was no longer sleepy: "How big is it? So much?"

"If it's something else, maybe you only need to suffer some flesh and blood, but this time...it's different."

"related to me?"

Gu You nodded.

"You two brothers don't like me. I can tell that you want to harm me. I know it, but who am I? I can kill your brother? Are you thinking too much? You two brothers followed When the chief grows up, he is equal to a son, and I have only been here for a few days, because I killed your brother, do you believe it when you tell it?"

Gu You was a little confused. When Gu Zuo left this morning, he repeatedly told him to put down his posture and find Wu Chen to find a solution!
Gu You also felt that Gu Zuo angered Si Zun because of Wu Chen, but after hearing Wu Chen's words, he also felt that it made sense, so who can save his brother?
"I said before that you have no brains, but you still don't want to listen! Your brother is out of his mind! Using my name to arrange how the master will do things, you have no brains! Si Zun's side should have their own uses, so you don't need to talk about them. They are still useful. Where's your brother? Did you expose your shortcomings this time? Si Zun might have wanted to cultivate, train and teach, even if he couldn't become a military adviser in the end. It's good to have some small things to help you come up with an idea, but now it's a good thing, if you have to go forward and expose your brain, what's the use of staying?"

Gu You felt enlightened. Although he didn't fully understand Wu Chen's words, he probably understood the meaning. It was like if he was disabled one day and could no longer kill the enemy. The scenery of the past will only be left aside and left to fend for itself.

And Gu Zuo made mistakes one after another, he had to rely on his brain for food, now that Chen Zhong was annoyed, how could he be soft-hearted.

Gu You finally sat down on the chair, he felt that his legs could no longer stand up.

Wu Chen was very irritable, he didn't want to know what Chen Zhong was like, he just wanted to find a job that could support him, complete the tasks given by Lao Hei, and then go back as soon as possible!
But the boss's behavior also determines his future life. Thinking of Chen Zhong, an old fox who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, Wu Chen felt sad when the rabbit died and the fox was killed.

"It will take some time to travel from Anping County to the capital, so don't worry. If I have the chance, I will definitely say something nice for your brother in front of Si Zun." Wu Chen's tone was helpless.

Gu You looked at Wu Chen with suspicion in his eyes.
