Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 81
Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "They can't lift it out, wait for me to rest... What time is it now?"

"It should be time has passed." Xu Liang replied.

Wu Chen nodded, and just as he said he wanted some water, he saw Chen Nanzhu hurrying over with an oil-paper umbrella, and before he got close, he said loudly, "You're sweating all over, and you're drenched in the rain, don't you want to live?" ?”

Xu Liang and Feng Wei glanced at each other. They always thought this woman was Wu Chen's maid, and Cai Kang even teased Wu Chen behind his back for not forgetting Ruanxiang when he was on errand.

No one told them who Chen Nanzhu was, and they had nowhere to find out. Seeing that Wu Chen wanted to prepare a carriage for Chen Nanzhu alone, they were even more determined. This was not preparing a carriage for Chen Nanzhu alone, and it was clearly convenient for the two of them to be alone.

Seeing that Chen Nanzhu was so rude to Wu Chen now, Feng Wei and Xu Liang only thought that Wu Chen was too fond of Wu Chen, which made this little lady pampered and spoiled.

After Chen Nanzhu finished speaking, she was already in front of Wu Chen. She raised the oil-paper umbrella to Wu Chen's head, then took out a small wine pot from her bosom, and said, "Brother Gao said that drinking warm wine on a rainy day can resist the pain." chill."

Wu Chen also felt that he was sweating all over, and it was really wrong to be exposed to the rain like this, so he took the jug, opened the lid and took a big sip. The strong wine entered his throat, and Wu Chen suddenly felt his body warm up.

He handed the jug to Chen Nanzhu, stood up and said, "There are only a few cars left, so hurry up and take them out, don't delay your journey."

Chen Nanzhu held Wu Chen's umbrella all the time, even though Wu Chen angrily told her to leave, she still stubbornly stood behind Wu Chen holding the umbrella.

These did not surprise Feng Wei and Xu Liang, but what surprised them both was that the little lady had no reaction to Wu Chen's brute force.

Finally, the last car stuck in the mud was lifted out.

Wu Chen panted heavily, without saying anything, and left with Chen Nanzhu.

Although Feng Wei and Xu Liang's hearts were galloping, they could only hold back first, and hurriedly ordered people to set up a car and go on their way.

……

Chen Nanzhu's carriage was right behind Wu Chen's carriage. When they got to the front of the carriage, Chen Nanzhu handed the oil-paper umbrella to Wu Chen, and said, "You must change out of your wet clothes when you get back to the carriage. There are clean clothes in the bag. If you can't find it, then you will be under the head of Big Brother."

Wu Chen nodded, suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you have any clothes that I can change?"

Chen Nanzhu nodded lightly and got into the carriage.

Wu Chen returned to his car with an umbrella, put the umbrella away and got into the carriage, and said to the coachman, "Let's go." Then he opened the curtain and stepped into the carriage.

Before the coachman could shout 'drive', Wu Chen fell back on the coachman, startling him a lot.

Wu Chen sat back to back with the coachman, took a few deep breaths, ignored the coachman's inquiry, opened the curtain again, and climbed in bravely.

Inside the car, Datou was sleeping soundly. Wu Chen crawled in and sat at the door of the car. He mustered up his courage and glanced at a corner of the car. There was an old woman with a burnt face and a young girl in her arms. A half-headed child.

Wu Chen wiped off the remaining rainwater on his face, then rubbed his face again, then stared at the sleeping big head, and asked, "What's inside, have you eaten?"

No one spoke in the car, only the sound of rain and the creaking and creaking of the carriage could be heard.

Wu Chen asked again: "You guys, are you going to go with us?"

"You... talking to us? Can you see us?" the old woman asked in surprise.

Wu Chen nodded, stared at the big head and said, "I've encountered it before, do you have any grievances or unfulfilled wishes, I can find a way to help you, but!"

Wu Chen hastened to emphasize: "Don't float over as soon as you get excited. I'm afraid too."

The old woman who had floated in front of Wu Chen went back again, but the child in her arms lay on top of Datou and slowly crawled towards Wu Chen.

Wu Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Don't be naughty, the adults are talking about business."

The old woman asked, "Can you really help us?"

Wu Chen closed his eyes and said, "Tell me first why you died?"

"It was Liu Da. He threw me to the ground and set grandma's car on fire."

The child's voice was ethereal and piercing, and Wu Chen felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Who is Liu Da?"

"My servant." The old woman sighed.

Wu Chen waited for the next sentence. After waiting for a long time without any movement, he opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw the child with half of his head missing in front of him, looking at him with one eye open.

Wu Chen groaned, quickly closed his eyes and said angrily, "I told you not to scare me, do you still want me to help?"

"Brother Hong is back." The old woman called softly.

Wu Chen sighed and said, "In the wilderness, you were murdered here. You must have brought your wealth to someone to go to. I didn't expect the old servant at home to lay hands on you, but this?"

"The family is in trouble, so I can't blame anyone, but he cruelly killed the only root of my Wang family! I, I..." The old woman should be crying, but the sound made Wu Chen's scalp tingle, and he hurried Question: "Do you know where Liu Da went later?"

The old woman shook her head and said:

"I don't know. We are originally from Linshan County, Youzhou. Our Wang family can be regarded as a big family in the local area. Several generations of the family have done some small businesses. This Liu Da bought into the family since he was a child. He has always done things safely. Although it was not captured by the Northern Man, but the business is not easy to do, and my sons have traveled far away and never returned."

The old woman paused, then said:

"I'm finally looking forward to the truce, and there are only a few women and children left at home. My grandson and I want to go to Huaizhou to join my natal relatives. After we settle down, we will let the rest of the family come over. Unexpectedly, Liu Dao took me halfway. My grandfather and grandson conspired and ran away with the gold and silver that I brought, I was unwilling, my royal family treated him well, how could he be so cruel? But, but I don't know what to do."

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "So you took your grandson and wanted to use my carriage to look around. I don't know what's inside. How far can you get away from your own bones?"

"I don't know, I just want to try."

Wu Chen sighed softly, this matter is a bit troublesome, where can I find Liu Da?Can't find Liu Da, how to persuade the grandfather and grandson to let go of their obsession and turn into reincarnation?

Wu Chen thought about it quietly, and asked, "Why are you and your grandson the only ones out this time? Didn't you say that there are other female relatives at home? Is the child's mother here? Why didn't you go with me?"

"My grandson's mother is a concubine, and she didn't survive the delivery. This child has been with me since birth. Those in the family... well, there are three daughter-in-laws alive, and how many concubines in each house. Nothing came out, my Wang family only had this single seedling."
