Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 391 Secret ([-]) Second update

"All you can think about is that your family's scandal will be immediately silenced if people find out about it. Why don't you look at the successes and defeats of the past and the present? Is the history books all about the real situation? Are there few people who have experienced it? Who can tell what they have said What you see and hear is passed on to future generations? Don’t future generations only read the official history or falsify the official history according to their own needs? You can personally experience this matter and I will not exceed ten people. What are you afraid of? Even if a few words are spread Who would dare to believe it? Your grandfather’s family must have taken evil paths, and I’m afraid you only know a little about it. This is the root of the disaster. If you don’t investigate and eradicate the root cause, your descendants will not be safe!”

In the darkness, Wu Chen saw that Li Heng was facing up and closed his eyes. He knew that let alone an emperor, even an ordinary person could not make a calm decision about his mother's family.

"First find a way to get your mother to release Pinggu's soul. I'll be ugly first, but she didn't tell the truth just now. If she can't release it, don't blame me for being cruel."

"If you kill her, Chen Nanzhu will be saved?"

"If you don't kill her, can you tell the truth?"

Li Heng bowed his head and remained silent.

"You saw it just now. No matter how panicked she is, what she said is not the truth. This is not something ordinary people can do. You just wanted to use me to ask where Li Shen is. It's not that I didn't ask, but I knew to ask. It's useless to ask, firstly, it is impossible for her to know where Li Shen is, Li Shen's people will definitely guard against her, secondly, you say she has no brains, but in fact she has too many brains, but you don't know where she uses them, Once I ask, it's good if she can tell the truth, but if she doesn't, it will be difficult if she tries to ask the truth again!"

"Then what do you say?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "I'll take your mother to Shuangxi Village!"

"You don't want to die?!" Li Heng blurted out.

"There is another way." Wu Chen looked around, "Place your mother here, the formation totem here may be..."

"It's useless!" Li Heng waved his hand: "My grandfather led people to build this place. My grandfather had good intentions and worried that my succession would not be stable..."

"Is this place built after you succeeded?"

"Do you think that when my father is alive, there will be such a place in the palace?"

"Is your grandfather still alive?"

"After the courtyard was built, the grandfather's family went back."

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "Two daughters, he...he didn't know that the younger daughter died at your hands?"

"I didn't die at my hands. I was only young at that time, and I just sat on the crown prince. She died at the hands of her own people. In the final analysis, she died to keep my mother's position in the palace. Let the aunt go on..."

Wu Chen was puzzled and asked, "Is there anyone in your grandfather's family serving in the court?"

Li Heng shook his head and said, "Royal Father met Mother by chance during an inspection tour, and later took her into the palace. It is precisely because Mother has no relatives to help her, Royal Father loves Mother even more."

"The two sisters entered the palace at the same time and your father didn't notice?"

"They didn't enter the palace at the same time. The emperor didn't know that the mother still had family members until his death."

"Ah? Is it... easy to deceive?"

"It's not easy to lie, my grandfather's family... as you said, they know some sorcery. They originally lived in a big village in the deep mountains of Lingnan. They escaped because of the war. It will not be so easy to go back. That place He pays the most attention to blood inheritance, and has never intermarried with foreigners for thousands of years..."

"They want you to help them get back into their clan."

"Correct!"

"Shuangxi Village is in Xingguo territory?"

"That's natural. After I succeeded to the throne, I ordered someone to find the owner of Shuangxi Village. After a private negotiation, my grandfather's family was able to return to their hometown safely."

"So although your mother said it was a bit weird, you never thought about it."

Li Heng nodded and said, "If it wasn't for someone asking me, I wouldn't know their existence."

"You have seen their abilities, but you never thought that they would..."

"The people in their village have lived peacefully in the deep mountains and dense forests, passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, and they know some magic to survive. They never thought about coming out, and they never did. It’s not that the flames of war have spread to the village, the world is afraid that no one knows that there are still people living in that mountain.”

"How does the Queen Mother know how to wash ink?"

Li Heng was stunned.

"You also said just now that their ethnic group has never come out. Even if your grandfather heard the rumors, what does this have to do with them? Isn't their purpose to return to the village? If your grandfather didn't even care about it, the age of the Queen Mother Entering the palace lightly, who can she hear about washing ink?"

"Maybe it's like listening to a folk tale, hearing people in the palace talk about... no, it was Li Shen who told her, it was Li Shen who gave her the desire to live forever!"

"Who did you hear it from? When did you hear it? Did you ever think about getting it after you heard it? Knowing that I got the Ximo, you also have the idea of ​​going all out to get it? Don't forget, Queen Mother Maybe I've been involved since ten years ago!"

Li Heng was stunned again.

"What I mean is that the Empress Dowager stays in the palace all year round, so she shouldn't know much about the outside world. Who is Li Shen? If Li Shen is not dead, shouldn't the Empress Dowager inform you in time when she finds out? But the Empress Dowager didn't do that! Li Shen She could easily believe what Shen told her? And promised to let him go in the palace? Not to mention how much love you have with the Queen Mother, mother and son, the Queen Mother at least knows that when Li Shen turns over, you turn over, you turn over It's her who turned over, and even her family turned over!"

Li Heng took a deep breath. The smell in the room was not very pleasant, and he coughed a few times.

Wu Chen said:
"I have a bold inference. Their father and daughter approached your father, perhaps for the sake of washing ink! Who can prove that they really can't go back to the village? If it is true as you said, their clansmen care about blood so much, can they be The person who went to the head of the village must be an old man of the clan, and this old man was so easily persuaded by your people, and then broke the ancestral system and let your grandparents' family return to the village?"

Li Heng waved his hands irritably, and said:
"Now that the ink is washed on you, no matter who wants it, they will attack you. Although you are capable, the tiger will also take a nap. I will send more people to protect you secretly... If the Queen Mother can't get the ink, I will take care of it." Be stricter, she won't be able to make waves in the future, but where Li Shen is, you need to find out as soon as possible, you just have to boldly investigate..."

"Check where Li Shen is hiding? Is it possible to find out where he is? Do you think he would be as stupid as Li Yi? Haven't you seen who are Li Shen's subordinates? The old woman who just died is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Yes, you called me here because you were afraid that there would still be people he placed in the palace. Since when did he start planning? At least 20 years, right? He is not Chen Zhong, you can catch him if you want! Mo, what I have to deal with every day is hunting, how do you want me to find out where he is?"
