Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 54

The four of them were all lying on the ground, with bloody welts on their bodies. Wu Chen thought the four of them would be dying, but it seemed that Xu Da and the sophomore were not ruthless.

Pinggu was a little nervous and wanted to hide the dishes, but Wu Chen said gently, "You can come to deliver this last meal, which shows that you are different from them. It's very good."

Pinggu lowered her head and did not speak.

"You still want to go home? Do you still want to take her back?" Wu Chen looked at Brother Ping and asked jokingly.

"I, she, the nobleman is angry, and I have vented my anger in the morning. If we don't let us go, it's useless to keep us, and it will add trouble to the nobleman..."

"In disaster years, it's common to sell children and daughters. If you don't have enough to eat, you can't support your children. If you sell them, you may still be able to feed your children. Like you, you are not so hungry that you can't keep warm. My daughter is treated like a thing, just for silver taels. It’s the first time I’ve seen it. It’s my fault for my ignorance, and it’s your bad luck. God let Pinggu meet me, so I’ll take care of it, whether you can live Go out, it depends on my mood."

"My cousin works as a clerk in the county government. You, you, me, if we don't go back today, he will definitely report to the county magistrate..."

"Reporting to the county magistrate is useless. I just sent the magistrate to prison a few days ago. You can ask your cousin to try someone else." Wu Chen said with a smile.

Seeing Wu Chen's smiling face, Pinggu's mother thought that he was easy to talk to, so she hurriedly begged, "Don't listen to him, my lord, since your lord has taken a fancy to Pinggu..."

Wu Chen restrained his smile and interrupted Pinggu's mother, "I didn't come to listen to your nonsense, but to see if you are dead. If you die, throw them into a random graveyard. If you are not dead, then I will make you suffer. By the way, let you know How you have treated Pinggu for more than ten years will be fully repaid this time."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Pinggu again and said, "Let's go, seeing them get angry might as well go back and rest."

Pinggu nodded, put the dishes into a basket, and left the woodshed without looking back.

"Nobleman, don't go!" Pinggu's father lay there and shouted in a hurry: "If the nobleman takes a fancy to Pinggu, the price, the price is negotiable!"

Wu Chen looked at the four people at his feet with his hands behind his back, his expression was serious, but his words were very soft, as if speaking to himself, he said, "Now I can take their lives without being bound by the law. okay?"

The four people on the ground didn't understand anything else, but they all understood the phrase 'to kill them'. The four of them begged in horror at the same time as if they had agreed, but Wu Chen turned around and left the firewood room.

Pinggu was waiting at the door, and when she saw Wu Chen coming out, she bowed to Wu Chen and said, "Thank you benefactor for saving me, I don't know how to repay..."

Wu Chen hurriedly interrupted Pinggu with his hand, for fear that if Pinggu said something like "promise him with his body," it would be difficult. He wanted to go back, so how could he be merciful in this world?

"Don't think too much, I just happened to catch up, you will follow us in the future, and when you return to the capital, we will find you a kind and wealthy family, of course, you need to be willing."

But Pinggu said very seriously: "Following benefactor is naturally the best, but I feel bad if I don't do anything, why don't you let me stay in the kitchen, or be a poor servant girl, and I will do all the dirty work." Can."

Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll make arrangements after I finish my errands. You should rest for a few days to recuperate your injuries."

Ping Gu' Mmm! With a cry, he bowed and stepped back.

Wu Chen stood in the courtyard and let out a long sigh.

……

After dinner, Senior Two showed up in Wu Chen's room on time. Wu Chen got ready and walked out of the room with Senior Senior.

Now the three of them can be considered to be familiar with the road, and they are very relaxed emotionally. Xu Da drove, and the three of them left the city gate and drove slowly towards the col.

The second year of high school was chatting with Wu Chen in the car, when the second year of high school suddenly remembered something, he leaned forward and asked Wu Chen, "Are you really interested in Pinggu?"

Wu Chen was taken aback by the question, and then asked back, "How do you know something that I don't even know?"

The sophomore said with a penetrating expression: "If you didn't like it, why did Si Zun call Pinggu to him and train him personally? They all said that Si Zun was so kind to you."

Wu Chen stared wide-eyed and asked, "Is Gu Ping kept by Si Zun's side?"

The expert frowned and asked, "You really don't know?"

Wu Chen shook his head, and then said, "Being by Si Zun's side, I can rest assured."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Chen coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing..."

Wu Chen wanted to say something more, but the horse neighed suddenly, and the carriage fell to one side without warning, Xu Da shouted: "There is an ambush!"

Wu Chen was shocked. The second year of high school had already hit him. Before the two could get out of the carriage, the sound of "buzzing" arrows piercing the sky was heard, followed by the sound of "thumping" arrows piercing the sky. The sound of entering a carriage.

"There are a lot of people here! Sophomore, protect Brother Wu! Come out as soon as possible."

Xu Da swung his long sword outside the carriage and shot down the flying arrows that were aimed at the carriage, so that the second year of senior high school would have time to take Wu Chen out, and it would be more dangerous to hide in the carriage.

Fortunately, the flying arrow only flew for a moment and then stopped. Xu Da hurriedly dragged Gao Er and Wu Chen out of the carriage. Gao Er said, "It should be the person who secretly protected us who made the move."

Xu Da nodded and said, "Ghost Mandrill Gang won't let us go to the col."

Wu Chen stood still and looked at the carriage. The horse had been shot and the wheels were stuck in the pit.

"They know we have to go to the col tonight." Wu Chen said with narrowed eyes.

"There is still some distance from the mountain col, and there is no carriage... If it's just me and Xu Da, we will definitely be able to get there before midnight, but..."

"It's the same with me, let's go! There may be an ambush ahead, you two should be more vigilant."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he strode forward, Gao Er and Xu Da hurriedly followed.

The two kept Wu Chen in the middle, one on the left and the other on the right. The three walked forward quickly, not feeling much slower than the carriage.

After about a stick of incense, Wu Chen stopped.

"You can't walk now?" the expert asked anxiously.

Wu Chen shook his head, squinted at the dark road ahead and said, "They may be waiting for us to walk over."

Senior Two and Xu Da looked at each other, waiting for Wu Chen's next words.

"Beishan was sealed off by Si Zun's troops. It seems that the officers and soldiers who sealed the mountain are in danger! And when we come out, Si Zun will not fail to send someone to watch secretly, no, secretly protect, our people must have acted just now, It can be seen that the people of the Ghost Mandrill Gang are hiding very well. Our people failed to find out in advance, but after the conflict, our people will definitely report to Si Zun. After that, more people will come to help us, right? "

Senior Two and Xu Da nodded at the same time.

"If that's the case, why do we have to go over there? Wouldn't it be enough to wait for the new carriage to come and more people to protect me? This point may not be thought of when we are in a panic, but the people of the Ghost Mandrill Gang will definitely It is conceivable that they are hoping that we will rush forward on impulse."
