Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 393
Wu Chen snorted and said:

"You said that you are old and young. Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? If the officials want to do something, or want to cover up something, it's not a matter of one sentence? Who would really risk their lives to find out the truth? ? Besides, no one would risk their lives for you."

The queen turned her head away.

Wu Chen looked at Chen Nanzhu and said, "You follow Xing Yun to another room to stay for a while, I've called you, come here again."

Chen Nanzhu suddenly showed a terrified expression.

Wu Chen hurriedly said, "There are some things that won't do you any good if you hear them, and you can save your life if you don't hear them."

"Has she heard less before?" Xing Yun asked with staring eyes.

"Anyway, less than you, and she can't understand most of them. Do you think she is a normal person now?"

Xing Yun couldn't find anything to refute for a while, and knew that Wu Chen was helping him, so he walked out of the hall with the trembling Chen Nanzhu.

……

Now only Wu Chen and the Empress Dowager are left in the hall. From time to time, some cold wind blows in from the two holes in the hall. I don’t know if the Empress Dowager is cold or scared. Although she is tied to a chair, her whole body cannot stop shake.

Wu Chen sat close to the Queen Mother and said calmly:
"It stands to reason that if you kill you, all the souls you controlled will come out. I don't have to wait for you to release them, but your son still hopes to keep your life. I don't care. If you are willing to take the initiative to release Pinggu's soul, Naturally, I won't kill you, but if you delay with me, trying to find a chance to avoid me, then I can only kill you before going to Shuangxi Village."

The queen mother let out an 'ah' and looked at Wu Chen in horror.

Wu Chen frowned impatiently and said:

"Where do you say that you look like a woman of status in all aspects? You are a girl in the village. You insist on sitting on the phoenix seat, not only making people laugh, but also causing your son to cover up for you everywhere, so I told you The official said, take you to Shuangxi Village."

"How dare you!" The queen mother struggled a little under the rage, and the rope tied to the chair fell off the ground.

Before the Queen Mother could react, Wu Chen waved his hand inadvertently, as if to drive away the mosquitoes in front of him, and the Queen Mother spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Stay there honestly, no matter how many ideas are in your body now, I will kill you without delay!"

The queen mother reluctantly leaned on the back of the chair, not daring to wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Let's talk about Pinggu's soul first. You can take her soul away with Quhuhu San. It is reasonable to say that it is not difficult to release it, but I always feel that this matter may be different from what I think. You say you In the harem, what kind of people are there in the harem? A bunch of women and men and women, what use do you want their souls? Control them to blow the ears of the officials?"

Wu Chen shook his head.

"For you, this has the same effect as nothing. You should know who an official is. No one can change his mind by saying something. So the question is, what do you need so many scattered souls for? You don't have to think about it. As for how to lie to me, I have no intention of knowing the truth from you. On the one hand, I want to confirm whether Pinggu can recover. On the other hand... I want to take you to Shuangxi Village. This matter requires me to bring out the necessary items. Only with your evidence, the officials will release you."

"You, you will die if you go!" the Queen Mother said viciously.

"You are not the first person to say such things to me. I have heard such things in the mountains in Anping County, Laojie Mountain in Yang'an County, and the other courtyards in Longgu Mountain, but you see, I am not doing well now. What's more, I have ink-washing body protection now, who do you think can kill me?"

The queen mother immediately showed worry, but she didn't want Wu Chen to see it, so she turned her face to one side.

"I kept thinking on the way back, if I brought you back to the village, and you failed to complete the mission assigned by your clansmen, and brought me, a demon, to the village, what do you think your clansmen will do to you? Don't expect me to save you. If Pinggu dies at your hands, I wish you would suffer more! Since the officials want me to take you away, they have thought of an excuse to the outside world. He will not pay attention to your life or death. .”

When Wu Chen was talking, his eyes were fixed on the Queen Mother, and when he said 'how the tribe will treat you', the Queen Mother trembled visibly.

"It's just a woman, you like beautiful ones... I'll get you as much as you want, okay?" The queen mother turned her head and asked fawningly.

"You have so much eyeliner outside, did no one tell you that I am not lewd? Even if others didn't say it, Chen Zhong didn't say it?"

"What does Chen Zhong have to do with me? An eunuch is also worthy to speak in front of me?!" The queen mother said disdainfully.

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, and asked in a cold tone: "It seems that you can't release Pinggu's soul. Do you choose to die or go back to Shuangxi Village with me?"

"Tonight, tonight I will be able to release her soul..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"I know a method that allows a maximum of eleven or twelve people to live in a human body. This person does not need you to steal other people's souls. He can split himself... No, it is born. Although these dozens of people share one Each body has its own ability, and they don't disturb each other, and they direct the body at different times, but they can't say which one they want to release."

"How did you acquire such a skill?" The Queen Mother asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"You may not be able to bear the process, so don't ask. Talk about yourself..."

"How do you know that I can't bear it? Do you think that I have lost my pulse after eating the soul? In order to practice this ability, I almost cannibalized human flesh! What else can I not bear?" The Queen Mother's face glowed Abnormally rosy, as if talking about something that made her extremely excited.

"So what? You still need to go to the soul dispersal to transfer a trace of other people's souls to you. I'm curious, can you make them all obedient?"

"Of course... just sometimes they are disobedient, but I am not used to them. Whoever is disobedient, I will kick them out. When I get out, I just chase my wandering soul and can't go anywhere. Have you ever seen a fool? Those The incomplete soul is like a fool in the world, floating in the air, floating here for life after life, not knowing where to go, not knowing who he is..."

The queen mother laughed strangely.

Wu Chen looked at the queen mother expressionlessly and asked, "You can let Pinggu's soul come out, but you can't let that soul return to Pinggu, right?"

The Queen Mother was stunned with a smile stuck on her face, and after thinking about it, she said disdainfully:
"You only asked me to release her, but didn't tell me to send her back... Besides, how do you know if she came back or not? The method you just said is not good, the whole soul is too noisy in the body, Like me, there are so many people who accompany me, never leave me, and are so obedient, how wonderful!"
