Chapter 316 The strange murder case ten years ago (second update)

Wu Chen returned to the house, thinking that only Song Gu was waiting for him, but he didn't know that Gu Shiming was waiting for him with Song Gu.

Wu Chen entered the house and asked the boy at the door: "Who are you?"

"Go back to the Lord, I am the fourth child."

"Who are you with them when you go back?" Let me tell you, if this person wants to enter the house, he needs my permission." Wu Chen pointed at Gu Shiming.

Gu Shiming stood up and said anxiously: "Did I recruit you?"

"Does your father know what I do? Now that Li Yi's case is closed, the officials also know that I have no intention of staying in Kyoto. The secretary is also in need of a person in charge, so why are you following me?”

The fourth child wanted to close the door and go to tell others, but Gu Shiming hurriedly came over, grabbed the fourth child and said:

"Wait a moment! Wu Chen, take back what you just said. You won't let me in. I really can't come in. The two door gods at your door will not take hard or soft measures. They only have one day in Kyoto. Who doesn’t know that it’s not easy to see you?”

Wu Chen rarely saw Gu Shiming’s serious pleading, so he waved his hand and said to the fourth child: “If he wants to come, just let him come if I don’t say so.” ”

Only then did Gu Shiming let go of Lao Si.

Song Gu was sitting at the table drinking tea with a smile. Wu Chen sat next to him and asked: "You didn't take a break because you were waiting to tell me about the case?"

Gu Shiming also sat at the round table, widened his eyes and asked: "When will we leave Beijing?"

Wu Chen frowned and asked: "The prince still wants you to follow?"

Gu Shiming nodded. .

Wu Chen asked again: "Do the officials know?"

Gu Shiming said: "Since the prince can do this, it is natural that the officials approve it. The prince said that he will come out of the palace to sit in your house in the morning..."< br>
“You didn’t sue Tell the prince that no one can come in except the official.” Come again!”

"You..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said impatiently:

"You all regard what I said as a joke. I have never thought about becoming an official in the court. You go back and tell me Prince, you don’t have to work hard on me. I will only do what I can and what I am willing to do. I think I should do it, not who asked me to do it."

"I do it for your own good!"

"I know, but you also have to think about the prince, you said. If I block the prince from the door, what will the officials think? ”

Gu Shiming spread his hands: "What can I think? I think you don't understand the rules and are arrogant..."

Wu Chen frowned, interrupted Gu Shiming and said:

"I told the officials However, when the country has been rejuvenated and prosperous, the officials now know where I am capable, so they naturally think that maybe I can predict the future. Now think about it again, I don’t see the prince, What will the officials think?"

Gu Shiming stared at Wu Chen for a moment, then asked carefully: "The prince...isn't the prince?"

Wu Chen shrugged. He shrugged and said, "Although it's not my intention, I can't care what others think. If the officials really think so...throughout the ages, there have not been many deposed princes, but it's not impossible."

Gu Shiming broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly asked: "Prince, are you serious..."

"I don't know where to go! I'm just setting my own rules. Among these rules, I will only save face for the officials. It's not easy for anyone else! Don't let the officials get it wrong."

"Just meet me!" Gu Shiming said anxiously.

"I see? Have you ever thought about the identity of the prince? Do you think the official family can still sleep if you are close to someone like me? Throughout the ages, emperors who were forced to give the throne to their sons have not More, but it's not nothing. It's good to be forced, at least I'm still alive..."

Gu Shiming stood up suddenly, said: "I'll see you tomorrow!" and rushed out of the door.

Song Gu frowned and said, "You seem to be deliberately offending the prince."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "No matter how many times I said that I had no interest in government affairs, no one believed it, so I had to make it for everyone to see. I am so cruel today." This way, I can feel more comfortable tomorrow, so that no one can come to visit me and I don’t have time to receive them.”

“In this way, the officials can rest assured.”

Wu Chen. He smiled and said: "No matter what I do, the officials will not be completely relieved. I just want to make myself comfortable. Let me talk about the case ten years ago. I plan to go out for a walk in the middle of the night and sleep all afternoon. Anyway, I will sleep." "No."

"Send away the ghosts in Kyoto first?" Song Gu asked and said with a smile, "If the officials in the DPRK find out, I don't know how many people will be able to sleep."

Wu Chen originally thought that no matter what reason Li Heng used to keep him, he would leave Kyoto as soon as possible. He still had a lot to accomplish. Although he had sent some away in the past few months, they were all by the way. If he focused on In this matter, perhaps the task has been completed and he can go back.

But what Li Heng was talking about was a case. An old case from ten years ago struck Wu Chen’s heart, so he didn’t refuse. He wanted to hear what kind of case it was, but his work could not be delayed any longer. I just thought about going out for a walk tonight.

“I originally didn’t want to investigate Kyoto first, because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to leave once I did. Of all the cases related to officials in the DPRK and China, which one is a small case? How many people may be involved if one resentful spirit points out Come on, how can we continue to investigate? Now that Li Yi's matter is over, we'd better leave as soon as possible."

Song Gu nodded and said, "Every day, we are in front of your house. It’s really troublesome if someone comes to visit.”

“Although I don’t know how Li Yi’s case will end, I know that many people are afraid of losing their lives in the past few days. People in the palace, Chen Zhong. I want to take a walk and take a look at the people in the house, the people in Sanqing Temple, etc., and try to persuade those who can leave, so that Kyoto can calm down and the officials can concentrate on government affairs. "

Song Gu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Wu Chen thought that Li Heng would be very happy if he knew the reason. Li Heng might not believe some of the words he said, but it would be easier to believe them if he borrowed someone else's words.

"Let me make a long story short. Ten years ago, I was just a judge in Suicheng. I heard about a strange murder in Kyoto. I have been paying attention to it. I even sent people to Kyoto to inquire about it. Unfortunately, the case has never been found out. , it became an unsolved case in Kyoto. I think the officials said The case should be this one. Because the official had just succeeded to the throne for more than three years and had failed to conduct two personal expeditions, he was already simmering with anger. The governor of Kyoto at that time failed to find out the case, which still made the people of Kyoto popular. Panic..."

"Strange murder case ?”

“Yes, a wealthy businessman hides his beauty in a golden house in Kyoto. The wealthy businessman is not from Kyoto. He has several shops in Kyoto. He always lives in Kyoto for several months of the year, in a house in Kyoto. It is normal to keep a concubine, but this wealthy businessman is not a concubine. , even the mistress of the family didn't know about it. One day, the wealthy businessman's first wife took people to Kyoto. The wealthy businessman happened to be not in Kyoto, so the mistress closed the door. She probably wanted to teach the young lady a lesson, but she did it too harshly. , was beaten to death.”

"If this woman had been bought by a wealthy businessman, she would have died. The whole city would not have known about it, and the governor of Kyoto would not have been alerted." Wu Chen interjected. (End of this chapter)
