Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 66 The Righteous Daughter (Part [-])
Wu Chen's face was a bit ugly, could this be regarded as the leader's care?Find someone to be buried with you when you leave?

"Pinggu, you can change your name. I will accept you as a foster daughter, so you will take my surname, Chen, and call it... Chen Nanzhu. Xiangyang is also the righteousness of the four gentlemen. I think it is very good." Chen Zhong suddenly became kind.

Wu Chen and Gu Ping were stunned.

The little eunuch was in a hurry, and urged Ping Gu, "Hurry up and thank you!"

Wu Chen knew that Chen Zhong was trying to sell him a favor, but Wu Chen didn't think it was a favor. A eunuch adopted a foster daughter, uh... In Wu Chen's memory, most of the adoptive sons adopted by a eunuch were eunuchs. It seems that this is not kindness!

Pinggu was completely confused, she thought about digging a hole to bury herself before, how could she suddenly recognize a high official as her adoptive father?

Seeing Wu Chen and Aunt Ping's dumbfounded expressions, Chen Zhong was very satisfied.

The little eunuch was very active, brought a cup of tea over quickly, and motioned Pinggu to kneel down to serve the tea. Pinggu looked at Wu Chen in fear, and seeing Wu Chen nodded slightly, she knelt down and offered the tea.

The little eunuch was so anxious that he wanted Gu Ping to call out "foster father", but Gu Ping kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything.

Chen Zhong waved his hand to stop the little eunuch's urging, and said, "Nanzhu go down first, I'll tell Wu Chen a few words, and you can go to the col together."

Pinggu, that's not right, Chen Nanzhu walked out of the room step by step.

Chen Zhong put away his kind smile and said seriously:

"I like your magnanimity the most. I made it clear today. I know you don't want Nan Zhu to take risks with you, but you have to know that if you are gone, with Nan Zhu's beauty... I may not be able to take care of you. There are quite a few people who eat my flesh and blood, a woman... the more I look after her, the more trouble it will be for Nanzhu."

Chen Zhong paused, then said:

"She will go down with you. If something goes wrong, you will have someone to accompany you on the way to Huangquan, otherwise I will let her go down to accompany you. If nothing happens, I will recognize my adopted daughter today, and I will be your reliance in the future. Don't worry about it than I promised you." It's much more useful, do you understand?"

Wu Chen understood, understood very well!There is still value in being alive, but when one is dead, a woman is not worthy of the respect of the Master!

If he was a native, he would have knelt on the ground in gratitude, but Wu Chen is not a local, so it would be difficult for him to follow the customs so quickly.

Wu Chen only hugged Chen Zhong, and retreated.

Normally Wu Chen could say a few flattering words without delaying eating or drinking, but when he was in a bad mood, he didn't bother to say them.

Fortunately, he knew that there was no danger this time, so he might as well take the big head with him.

Wu Chen, who had just walked out of the room, went back again, and said to Chen Zhong: "The big head is a bit stupid, if something happens to me, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for Si Zun to take care of him, why don't you let him follow me down, too many The person who smashed the wall, if something happened, I don't care about it."

Chen Zhong naturally agreed.

……

The three of them left the city in a carriage.

The big head was very excited looking at the scenery outside the car window, and almost poked his head out.

Chen Nanzhu kept his head down and did not speak.

Wu Chen closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then suddenly spoke, but his voice was not loud, he said, "This time it's a narrow escape, why did you follow?"

Chen Nanzhu looked up at Wu Chen, then lowered his head again without speaking.

"Let's just make it clear, your parents and elder brothers are all brainless, they only think about money, but you have brains, it's not a coincidence that Luan Graves met me, right?"

Chen Nanzhu still didn't speak.

"I rescued you, and your parents and elder brothers will be able to find you the next morning. It stands to reason that you don't know my identity, let alone who the master is. How dare you go out with the cook the next day?" ? It happened to be seen by your parents by such a coincidence."

Chen Nanzhu raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, she blinked, and the tears dripped down, she opened her mouth, sighed lightly, and lowered her head again.

"Then Xu Da and I were attacked on the way to Shan'ao that night. I was still thinking, why did they try their best to kill me this time? I have been to Shan'ao several times, why did they attract their attention this time? I want to Not many people know what they do.”

Chen Nanzhu opened his mouth tremblingly:

"I... After I escaped, I didn't know where I could go. I was arrested by two men wearing grimace masks. I thought I was going to die, but I wasn't nervous or afraid, but they asked me why I left home, and they said As long as I do them a favor, they can let me leave my parents forever. They promised to give me some silver and let me leave Anping County... I don’t know how I can help, they said they just need me to see you Just do whatever."

"They took you to Luan Graves?"

"Yes, you came not long after I arrived. Before I was ready, I hid behind a tomb and saw you yelling and yelling at the empty place in front of me. I slowly crawled out. Climbing right in front of a small pit, you saw me...but, I didn't know they wanted your life!"

"I rescued you, and you have to tell them what you saw, so you went out with the cook the next day."

"Yes, but they were not found."

"Hmph! You should be glad you didn't find it. If you did, you would be dead right now. Si Zun is not so easy to deceive."

Chen Nanzhu lowered his head and wept.

"Your parents and brothers came to find you the next morning. When we were venting your anger in the yard, did you meet them in the house?"

Chen Nanzhu looked up at Wu Chen in surprise and asked, "You, are you really a god?"

"What a god, you still have to take such a lot of trouble to solve the matter of the col? You tell them that I can see ghosts, and you tell them my agreement with the ghosts, and then they think of what I might do, and they almost come out of the nest Want to kill me."

"Actually, you already knew." Chen Nanzhu looked at Wu Chen with tears in his eyes.

"You are alive because everything else is true. I don't need to inquire about this. Si Zun will definitely order someone to investigate. Fortunately, your parents and brothers don't know the truth, and only you and the ghost gang are responsible for this matter." People know, otherwise, none of your family will survive."

"But, you know, but you didn't say it."

"I don't say it because I know you are a poor person. I want to find you a good man to marry after I leave Anping County, and the past can be over, but you still want to follow me! I think Treat you well..."

"You misunderstood!" Chen Nanzhu explained with tears on his face: "When I saw Brother Gao and Brother Xu being carried back that day, I knew I had caused trouble. They only said that they wanted to know what you did. Who, what did you say... At that time, I only wanted to leave my parents, and I didn't know if you were good people. I just wanted to take the money and leave Anping County, find a place where my parents couldn't find, and live a day Count it as a day."

Wu Chen sighed lightly.
