Chapter 237: The secret passage in the other courtyard (1) First update
The second year of high school said: "Perhaps it took a little longer. We were discussing what position would be better for Brother Wu after returning to Kyoto. It is too high to convince the public. , too low to show Brother Wu's contribution..."
"It's like the court is my home, and I can sit wherever I want," Wu Chen said, putting down his chopsticks.
The second grade student said anxiously: "I asked you before dinner. You only said to clean up the other courtyards first. The officials have their own opinions. Are you afraid that I will worry, so you didn't tell me?"
< br>"We didn't say anything, and we couldn't overtake Big Touou. I thought I would talk to you slowly after dinner. This cannot be explained in two sentences."
Song Gu said: "Anyway, the danger is finally averted. Which yamen do the officials want you to go to? Deputy Ambassador Yu and I both feel that it is not suitable for you to stay under Chen Zhong anymore."
"I think I I will lead a pair of people away from the government and only be responsible for the lonely souls and resentful ghosts in the mountains and fields. I will guard the yin and yang of the world for the officials. I can also help when there are unidentified cases." Wu Chen said very seriously.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Wu Chen looked at the expressions of several people and said with a smile: "In this case, Chen Zhong will have nothing to do with me."
"Is it still the Imperial City Detective Department?" High School sophomore ask.
"I hope so, that is, to separate a part of the Detective Department and not be under the control of Chen Zhong. This is what I suggested, but the officials have not agreed yet."
Song Gujin frowned and said, "Although you It's a well-intentioned thing, but... it's one moment and another moment. "
Yu Shi'an has been an official for many years, and he knew what Song Gu meant just by hearing it. He said:
"You have not followed the official family for many years and have a certain sense of friendship. Chen Zhong, who has not been with the official family all year round, does not You don’t have to say anything! If it weren’t for Lao Jieshan’s abilities, it might be okay. Even if it’s not happening right now, who can say what it will be like in the future?”
Wu Chen nodded and said, “I know. I myself believe that I am useless, what should I say? I have said everything that should not be said. Now I am just waiting for the officials to make a decision. Anyway, I will not be an official in the court, let alone stay under Chen Zhong. If this road does not work, I will take the big head Brother left on his own and lived in seclusion in the mountains. ”
"What you think is quite beautiful!" said the second grader.
Xu Da said: "Sir Zun only needs one sentence: letting you go is like letting a tiger return to the mountain."
Wu Chen shrugged and said: "I told the officials that someone became a Buddha immediately. Someone immediately became a demon."
Yu Shian snorted and said:
"Yuan Shuchun still knows how to hide his head and hide his tail, and not to confront the officials head-on. If you want to leave by force, in addition to hiding your name, you have to be careful everywhere in your life. Don't you want to have a family? Don't have children? Even if you have the ability to fly into the sky, there will always be When it lands, the ground will be under the control of the officials!”
Wu Chen looked a lot more lonely, and Song Gu hurriedly said:
"Official sages will have their own opinions. We only think about the worst possibility. Logically speaking, what Wu Chen did along the way depends on his temper and temperament. It is obvious, and the errand Wu Chen mentioned may have been insignificant before, but he dare not say so now. This is also beneficial to the rejuvenation of the country, and the officials will make their own decisions. "
Xu Da glanced at the second year of high school. He hesitated to speak.
The sophomore in high school snorted and said: "I know what you want to say."
Yu Shi'an hurriedly asked: "What did he want to say?"
"He wants to say that with Si Zun here, he will definitely find ways to influence the officials' decisions." Gao Er said in a low voice.
Wu Chen smiled and said: "He has used all the methods he wanted to use. The diarrhea is better. I am worried that he will relapse."
......
Chen Zhongzhen had a relapse of his old illness. This time it was not that he had a stomachache, but that the old wound suddenly became pus, and a stink came out from the wound. He really wanted to meet the official, but his body did not allow it and the body odor was even worse. Not allowed. Even though he knew that this was a critical moment, Chen Zhong still had no chance to see Li Heng.
……
That night, Wu Chen quickly fell asleep and saw black mist again in his dream.
"I can only help you up to this point, the rest is all up to you."
Lao Hei's voice could not detect any emotion or anger. Wu Chen was stunned for a moment before asking. : "You made Chen Zhong unable to get up?"
"His mouth is too poisonous. Li Heng is still hesitating now. He'd better shut up."
"But this won't solve the fundamental problem. He will have plenty of opportunities to speak out in the future."< br>
"I've told you, I can only help you here. I don't have the authority to take anyone's life, even if I know they are a disaster."
"I will not be the only person you arrange for in this life. There must be others, right? ”
“ I want to ask something that has something to do with you."
"What are those monsters in the river?"
"You have a solution, don't worry, clean up Longgu Mountain quickly. Your mission is still far away.”
"Are there any things like monsters in the river in this world?"
"They are rare and strange! Everything in the world has spirituality. How many have you seen? If you don't provoke them, they are not willing to provoke you. Everyone lives their own lives, of course, the four in the river Except."
"What is your position?"
"It won't do you any good to ask too many questions. Just know that we are in the same group."
< br>“You are not my leader?”
"I lead you? Humph!"
Wu Chengang wanted to ask what Humph was talking about, but when he opened his eyes, he woke up.
......
Wu Chen got up and had breakfast, and was called to the river by the old eunuch. Li Heng was already standing there.
Wu Chen bowed and saluted, Li Heng looked at the river with his hands behind his back and asked: "Can you kneel before your parents?"
"Ever since I can remember, I have been alone and have never knelt down to anyone." Wu Chen said it easily.
“Yesterday you said that the rejuvenation of the country will begin.”
“Yes.”
“How can you see it? Because of you?”
“I’m just An insignificant grain of sand, a wise king, a capable minister, and an opportunity... Anping County had gained a lot before, but now there is probably a lot hidden in the secret passages in this courtyard. The treasury is sufficient, which is the evidence."
< br>
Li Heng smiled and asked: "How to find the secret passage?"
"I have been paying attention to this tree for a long time. Although it is very strong, after several battles with monsters in the river, the nearby trees and courtyard walls fell down. It has always stood here, there must be a reason."
Li Heng waved his hand and immediately stepped forward to the two generals. Li Heng pointed at the tree and said: "Cut it down."
< br>Unfortunately, this tree cannot be cut down.
The outer layer of bark is wrapped with the iron plate inside. The iron plate extends underground. In the north direction of the tree trunk, a gap is found, like a narrow iron door that no one can open.
Li Heng looked at Wu Chen and said, "Come on."
Wu Chen was not polite. He walked closer, knelt down and took a closer look and said, "This is not an iron gate. Even if it is opened, If you can't get in, you should find the underground section where the passage is. The space below is larger, so that you can break through the iron plate and hit a Only when there is a big hole can people go down safely."
Wu Chen said as he walked down the iron plate of the tree trunk, squatted on the ground and looked for several directions, tried it gently with his fist, and then found the right one. After reaching the position, he suddenly put his palm down, and there was a "bang" sound, and a bottomless black hole appeared in front of his eyes. (End of this chapter)
