Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 376 Handling Housework ([-]) Second Watch

Wu Chen rubbed his forehead and said:
"I just woke up and I have a bit of a temper. Don't take it to heart. I will enter the palace after finishing the family affairs. The third brother died to save me. If other people are also implicated, who will I dare to bring to investigate the case in the future? The old man Liu, do you think this makes sense?"

Liu Jinzhong nodded his head, then shook his head immediately, and said with an oops: "Those seven people have been sent back to your home, but you are awake and able to move, so you should enter the palace..."

"Is the official in a hurry?"

Liu Jinzhong took another sip of the cool breeze.

"It's getting dark, you should go back first, you will be absent-minded when you see the officials before you finish processing, you just report back like this."

Liu Jinzhong didn't dare to open his mouth, he groaned a few times, nodded, turned and left.

……

The eunuch in the palace came to summon Wu Chen to enter the palace, but Wu Chen refused.

A servant heard the conversation between the two, and the news quickly reached Erniang Gao's ears.

The old lady was supported by the servants back to the house, she lay on the bed and began to groan, just now she was frightened, she fell down again, and felt uncomfortable all over, but she heard that Madam Hu had gone to report to the police, she Immediately, she felt better, and as soon as she drank the tranquilizing medicine, she heard that the yamen servant was coming. She struggled to get up and wanted to go to the yamen servant to talk about her grievances in person, so that the enemy would suffer a few more punishments, and then she would relieve her anger!
But the shoes hadn't been put on yet, and another servant came to report that Nanny Hu was tied up by the yamen servants and taken to the government yamen.

The old lady didn't understand for a while, why did she arrest the person who reported to the official?

She lay down on the bed again, and began to moan again, feeling that there was no place for her body to be comfortable. The maid who was serving her tried to persuade her, and she was smart enough to deduce that the person who came was the second daughter-in-law's natal family, and they came here to fight for the family property. As long as he can meet the governor of the capital, the yamen servant who took the favor to escort Hu Mama today will also be unlucky.

The old lady felt more at ease when she heard it, and was thinking about when to go to beat the drums to appeal for grievances, when another servant came to report, and the palace eunuch came, the old lady sat up immediately, unable to conceal her surprise, and hurriedly ordered the maid to wear Shoes, changing clothes, still muttering:

"It's really dozing off and handing over the pillow. The officials must think that my son has done a lot and rewarded me again. I personally said that the father-in-law who announced the decree is much better than the governor of Kyoto. I don't think anyone would dare to take that money in the future." idea!"

But before the shoes were put on, another servant rushed in and said that the eunuch in the palace went directly to see the man named Wu Chen. It seemed that the official had summoned him for an audience, but Wu Chen actually said that he would finish the matter. The family affairs will enter the palace again.

The old lady is stupid, why didn't she know that the second daughter-in-law's natal family has such a powerful figure?What should I do now?Thinking of the harsh treatment of the second daughter-in-law in the past ten years, if the second daughter-in-law has to look at her face to live in the future, then, can she still live?
Thinking of this, the old lady straightened up and fainted. The maid hurriedly stepped forward and pinched the person and beat her chest. The old lady finally regained her breath. She opened her eyes and looked weakly and asked, "Why are you so tired?" Didn’t you go to ask for a doctor? Hurry up and invite the doctor from Xinglin Hall, whoops, I feel my chest is tight.”

The servants didn't move, you look at me and I look at you.

The old lady was a little annoyed, but then she figured it out again, and she asked, "The enemy hasn't left yet?"

Several people nodded at the same time.

"Does he still want to stay?" the old lady asked angrily.

"I won't stay here, I'm going to enter the palace after I've dealt with the affairs here."

Wu Chen walked in with his hands behind his back, followed by Gu Shiming and two older women.

Wu Chen waved his hand, and Gu Shiming hurriedly said, "You all go down, pack your things, and someone will take you to work elsewhere later."

Several servants plopped down on their knees, and a leader was about to plead, when Gu Shiming said: "Do as you know, and after you leave, the tasks will be easy, and if you pretend to be smart, then send them to Lingnan and Mobei. Bian Ji is short of people..."

Several servants rushed out of the room without waiting for Gu Shiming to finish speaking.

Wu Chen found a chair and sat down, and asked Gu Shiming: "You must find all the deeds of prostitution, and if we can do things according to the rules, we will do it according to the rules."

"I know, I don't want to be charged with trafficking."

Wu Chen nodded and looked at the two older women, and said gently:

"This old lady was afraid of poverty in the first half of her life. When she saw money, she wanted to put it in her pocket. Although she had children, she only had herself in her heart. My second brother is her son, but in her eyes, it is just a tool to make money. Now The second brother is gone, so she counts on my sister-in-law, she looks like she is partial to the younger son, but in fact the mother and son are the same, but she is my second brother's mother after all, so letting her live for two more days can be regarded as my second brother. Brother is a filial piety, if she commits suicide by herself, you don't have to stop her, when she sees my second brother after she dies, my second brother will have something to ask her."

The two old women nodded repeatedly.

Wu Chen looked at the old lady who was pretending to be dead on the bed again, and said:
"At your age, I'm afraid it won't work to reason with you, so let's be straightforward. If you are honest, you can eat and drink. If you can't help but count others, your food and drink will be cut off. If you feel that these people are not satisfied with serving you, I will find some ghosts, I am good at this matter, as long as they say you don't want them to serve you, the ghosts will come that night."

The old lady opened her eyes, looked at Wu Chen in horror, and asked, "Are you... that Wu Chen?"

Wu Chenhan said with a straight face: "If you put it in my hands like this, you would have died a long time ago. You need to remember that if it wasn't for your son, a sophomore in high school, you would already be a ghost by now. Don't act like everything should be yours. Your life doesn't deserve it." It's yours, what else do you think you have?"

The old lady's mind immediately became clear. She knew about Wu Chen, but she didn't know about it through her son. She heard about it when gossiping among neighbors.

On weekdays, as long as she heard that her son was a martial arts doctor from the Detective Department, others would show envious and awe-inspiring expressions. This made the old lady feel that her son was very good in Beijing. The method is so that the family can make a lot of money, but the second year of high school is very busy, and it is rare to see each other. The old lady is also the first to scold her daughter-in-law when she meets her. The second year of high school gets up and leaves, and the old lady has no chance to say anything.

Be it Wu Chen or anyone else today, Wu Chen's name has been mentioned more than once, but the old lady was so engrossed in her anger that she didn't listen.

At this moment, she knew that the person in front of her was that Wu Chen, and she felt remorseful. Just as she was about to say something auspicious, Wu Chen didn't give her a chance, so she stood up and said to the two old women:

"I've been in the capital these days. You should try it first. If she is still stubborn, I have plenty of people who can be used in the underworld. Just come to accompany her at night. You have to remember clearly, and let her remember clearly, who She is the mistress of the house, and what she should do is to eat and drink enough to support her life."

The two old ladies bowed and said yes at the same time.
