Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 59
Gu You dispatched a team of troops to escort Wu Chen, the three of them, and the wounded soldiers into the city. Before reaching the city gate, Song Yu led all the yamen servants to welcome them on horseback, saying that they were going to resettle the wounded soldiers.

Wu Chen was not in the mood to greet Song Yu, and only told Song Yu: "I will do my best to treat him!" Then he took Gao Er and Xu Da back to the house.

Looking back on what happened that night makes me tired, but Wu Chen feels energetic all over his body. He watched Jinchuangyi, left behind by Chen Zhong, treat the wounds of Gao Er and Xu Da, and watched them drink medicine and fall asleep. Only then did he leave the house and walk into the courtyard.

Gu Shiming and Zhang Yuan were already waiting there.

Gu Shiming shook his fan and said with a smile, "I never thought you would still be alive."

Wu Chen looked back at the porch room where Senior Two and Xu Da lived, then turned his head and asked, "Why don't you find a bigger house and let them rest in this kind of room, which is not conducive to recuperating."

Gu Shiming snorted and said, "It's neither hot nor cold right now, it doesn't matter where you live, when it gets cold, let alone a gallery house, even the house you live in is not conducive to recuperating."

Wu Chen didn't bother to talk to Gu Shiming, and walked towards his room.

Gu Shiming and Zhang Yuan followed behind, Zhang Yuan asked, "Do you know what Peng Su committed?"

Wu Chen stood still and turned around, looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Why do you ask me?"

This moment stopped Zhang Yuan from asking.

Gu Shiming waved his fan and said: "During this time, you are the only one who has been meeting with Si Zun frequently. We didn't even have the chance to meet each other. Suddenly Peng Su disappeared. If you don't want to ask, who do you ask?"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "I asked, but I won't tell you."

"You're a little crazy." Gu Shiming put away his fan and said with a sullen face.

Wu Chen nodded, hummed to express his agreement, then turned and left.

"I think Pinggu is good. If I ask Si Zun to ask for it, I don't think Si Zun will respond." Gu Shiming said eccentrically behind him.

Wu Chen had no choice but to turn around again, looked at Gu Shiming and said:

"It's not because of your ability that you can enter the Imperial City Investigative Department. If you want to say that you are crazy, you are crazy. At best, I am not afraid of power. If you think you can get it if you ask for it, then go and try it. What's the use of telling me? You really asked for it, and we became enemies. You didn't ask for it, and you were unwilling, so you would find other ways to provoke me. Although I don't understand what is in your mind, but you Let me see the determination to be my enemy against all odds, in this case, if you make a move, I will take the move, and talking so much nonsense makes me look down on it."

Gu Shiming's expression changed immediately. He didn't want to make Wu Chen an enemy. He saw that Wu Chen had some skills and wanted to take Wu Chen into his hands, but the method was always wrong and he was a little anxious.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan immediately persuaded: "Where did the hatred and resentment come from? It's all because of the errand. Now the errand finally has some clues. It's time to celebrate. In this way, I am the host, today..."

Wu Chen quickly waved his hands and said:
"Please forgive me. I'm a beggar. Now I'm finally able to eat. I don't know which temple gods you are, and I don't want to know. As long as you don't know, you won't be troubled. I'm sorry." I'm not interested in government affairs, so I'll still obey orders when one of you two becomes the chief minister! Is what I said clear enough? Go back, I should go to bed too."

Wu Chen turned around and left.

Seeing Wu Chen enter the room, Zhang Yuan whispered to Gu Shiming, "We all underestimated him."

Gu Shiming snorted and said, "So what? You have to obediently obey my orders sooner or later."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

Gu Shiming looked at Zhang Yuan with a cold face and said, "If you catch Ping Gu, you'll catch him!"

"That depends on whether Si Zun let you catch Pinggu. What you can think of, Si Zun can't think of?"

Gu Shiming was immediately discouraged, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "It's just a little beggar, I don't believe I can't win over him! If I can't use it for me, what's the use of keeping it?"

As soon as Gu Shiming finished speaking, Wu Chen reappeared in sight, and he stood under the eaves and shouted at Gu Shiming: "I forgot to tell you, don't think about killing me, anyone who wanted to kill me is dead now, you If you are young, don't seek your own death, it would be bad if you hurt your family."

After speaking, Wu Chen entered the room again.

Gu Shiming was so angry that he almost jumped up. He pointed his fan at Wu Chen's door, but he couldn't say a word.

……

Wu Chen thought he couldn't fall asleep, the big head sat at the table and chattered non-stop, but just listening to the big head's chatter, Wu Chen fell asleep unknowingly.

He felt that he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the big head. The big head looked at Wu Chen sympathetically and said, "The little eunuch came just now and said that Si Zun came back and asked you to go there immediately. I had no choice but to push you away." Awake."

Wu Chen sat up and asked, "What time is it?"

"I just finished lunch."

Wu Chen nodded, sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then put on his shoes and went to the ground.

……

Chen Zhong took the tea that Pinggu handed him, took a sip, and said, "You did a good job, much better than yesterday."

Pinggu looked down and couldn't see the expression.

At this time, Wu Chen walked into the room quickly, and asked with a serious expression, "But what difficulties did you encounter?" After speaking, he seemed to be unable to hold back, and yawned.

Wu Chen did this on purpose, he wanted to tell Chen Zhong in a tactful way: I was sleeping and you woke me up.

Chen Zhong handed the tea bowl to Ping Gu, and said with a pleasant face: "The underground entrance has been found, and people have been ordered to go down, but the treasure can't be found, what do you think?"

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, and asked back, "Is the exit outside the mountain pass blocked by the Ghost Mandrill Gang?"

Chen Zhong smiled and said: "Now that we know it, we will be able to find it... for a while, they will never want to come out from this exit, and they didn't get through this exit. If they can get through, we will be able to find it. We will restart today." Peace talks, what do you think the Beiman envoys asked for?"

"They want Anping County?"

Chen Zhong nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Anping County originally belonged to Youzhou. These two armies have been fighting for Youzhou. During the previous peace talks, Beiman proposed to divide Youzhou into two halves. The officials said that they would not give up an inch of land! Now that the peace talks are restarting, they are actually As long as Anping County is proposed, everything else can be discussed.”

"The Ghost Mandrill Gang has been looking for the treasures left by Qi Xuan for the past hundred years or so." Wu Chen walked to the chair and sat down, stunned by Pinggu.

"They knew very well what was in those treasures, so they tried their best to get them." Wu Chen turned to look at the dazed Pinggu and said, "Give me a cup of tea."

Pinggu looked at Chen Zhong nervously, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, bent down and said, "The benefactor doesn't know etiquette, I hope Si Zun will not blame you, Pinggu is willing to be punished for the benefactor."

This time it was Wu Chen's turn to be stunned.
