Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 382 Paradoxical Logic (Part [-])
Wu Chen looked up at the dark scene in the sky and said:

"The third child is the most stubborn, and the fourth child was there at the time... But the third child would analyze my situation through his fiery behavior, and judge that my life is at stake... If he can survive, he will definitely become my right-hand man... I am powerless to stop the two of them, I just watched them lose their lives, if I was willing to wait a bit, and not be so anxious to lure Huo Ran, and not so presumptuous to subdue Huo Ran, maybe..."

"Those people are not afraid of the death of their subordinates. They have been preparing for so long. If you miss that night, maybe you will let those people succeed. The consequences will be even more terrible! Although I was not there at the time, I know that what you met that night, even if it was delayed a few You will meet at night, you can't be strong enough to subdue monsters just because you wait for a few days, so... what should come will come sooner or later."

Wu Chen looked at Gu You in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that. I've encountered this kind of thing before. I couldn't beat it. My subordinates died trying to save me. If I go again, I still can't beat me. Another of my subordinates died. At that time, I only hated myself for being incompetent. I feel better, so I can only harden my heart, and don’t say a word to others on weekdays. In fact, looking back, even if I go back to that time now, as long as I still can’t beat it, the ending will not change.”

"Chen Zhong still let you do the job you can't handle?"

"If I don't go, it would be death if others go. I can at least do a few tricks and persist until they arrive in the second year of high school. Seven or eight martial arts doctors will besiege them, and finally finish the errand."

"I'm curious, what kind of errand will you guys use together?"

"Seven or eight years ago, iron ore was discovered on Hushan Mountain in Tieziling. At that time, some bandits occupied it. The officials didn't want too many people to know, so they ordered the investigation department to take back the iron ore. I thought it was the iron mine. These thieves will never know that they will not be able to defeat them in a single battle."

"Why don't the officials want too many people to know? Can this kind of thing be concealed? It is simple and rude to dispatch troops to attack, but it is the most immediate."

"I don't know why the officials didn't mobilize troops. What Chen Zhong told me at the time was that the officials didn't want too many people to know. When you ask me this way, I think...the posture of Hushan at that time, even if there were hundreds of soldiers, it might not be enough. can attack."

"How many people did you bring?"

"More than 40 people."

"Just like in Anping County, you watch them die one by one in the mountain depression, and you still have to take people there after dark."

"Yes!" Gu You lowered his head: "There are plenty of soldiers, they are better than ordinary soldiers, not to mention a little kung fu, they are also smarter, but the people I led still died in batches on the Tiger Mountain. "

"You don't even ask Chen Zhong, why is this so?" After Wu Chen asked, he knew that his question was nonsense.

Gu You shook his head and said: "Chen Zhong doesn't like others to ask too much. Later, Xu Da and the others came in the second year of high school, and we wiped out those bandits on the mountain..."

"Who took over the Hushan Iron Mine?"

"I don't know, it's not the leader of the army. We are used to not asking so many questions. We left with Chen Zhong's seal. Later, I heard that the name was changed. It was not called Hushan, it was called Tiezishan..."

"Tieziling, Tiezishan?"

"Correct!"

Wu Chenteng stood up and said, "You should rest early!" Then he disappeared.

……

When Xing Yun saw Wu Chen again, his face was full of impatience: "What can't we talk about tomorrow?"

"I can't tell which of you is the elder brother and who is the younger brother, but you are not the one who fought side by side with me in Liu Zhai."

Xing Yun snorted and said, "You can come in at this hour."

"Too much nonsense, hurry up and lead the way!"

……

Li Heng had already rested in Wangshu Palace, and when he knew that Wu Chen had gone and returned, he ordered the little eunuch to change clothes. Concubine Chun was very reluctant, but Li Heng left in a hurry.

As soon as Li Heng entered Wende Hall, he saw Wu Chen waiting in the courtyard.

Wu Chen came up to meet him, but only moved his mouth without saying a word: "Leave the palace."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then hesitated.

Wu Chen was a little annoyed and asked, "Then say it here?"

Li Henghan said with a straight face, "Come with me!"

Wu Chen followed Li Heng along the red wall for a while, turned a corner, and walked for a while under the dim palace lanterns. Wu Chen felt a little familiar.

Sure enough, in the end Li Heng took Wu Chen to the courtyard where Li Yi was executed that day, and entered the coffin-like room.

Li Heng said: "I'm not afraid that someone might hear you here, so tell me, what's the matter?"

Wu Chen glanced at the little eunuch carrying the palace lantern, then at Xing Yun who was standing aside and said, "Say something in a low voice, I'll go outside and listen."

……

Soon Wu Chen entered the room again, looked at Xing Yun and said, "If what I said tonight is not important, you will apologize with death."

Xing Yun said angrily: "I can't tell you!"

Li Heng asked worriedly: "Can you still hear it?"

"I shouldn't be able to hear it from a distance. I didn't go far, but I was in the yard. I couldn't hear it very clearly. What material is this house built of?"

"Can you talk about the business first?" Xing Yun asked anxiously.

"You go out first." Wu Chen said.

Xing Yun and the little eunuch didn't move, Li Heng waved his hand, the little eunuch put the palace lantern on the ground, and walked out of the room with Xing Yun.

Only Wu Chen and Li Heng were left in the room.

"The first prince... is your elder brother. Did you see the corpse with your own eyes after death?"

Li Heng was shocked when he heard it!
Wu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Heng's expression. He thought that what he saw was surprise, but he hadn't explained yet. How could Li Heng turn pale with shock as he thought of the result?

"What did you find?" Li Heng asked anxiously.

Wu Chen asked back, "What did you think of?"

Li Heng took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "I told you when I was in Longgu Mountain Bieyuan, when I was young, I followed the prince to the other yard, and after returning to Kyoto, the prince fell ill and died... From what I know, the prince fell ill. I didn’t see him again until the prince died, but after I succeeded to the throne, I once... ordered someone to open the prince’s tomb to find something, but found..."

"The coffin is empty."

Li Heng felt very bad at this moment. He had cultivated a kind of majesty since he was the prince, and it became even more majestic after he succeeded to the throne. Although he sometimes argued with the ministers in the court, his majesty remained unabated.

Standing in front of Wu Chen made Li Heng feel ashamed again and again. At first he felt a little fresh, and even felt that he showed his generosity, but as time passed, Li Heng felt as if he was out of his control. Wu Chen It wasn't disrespectful occasionally, and every word he said pierced Li Heng's heart.

This is no longer what Dadu can comfort himself, but so what?

Li Heng sensed some danger, so he ordered Wu Chen to investigate, but he only wanted Wu Chen to find out the truth, and he didn't want Wu Chen to know the truth. This kind of contradictory logic made Li Heng very crazy during this time.
