Chapter 1048: Kidney Deficiency

Chen Guanlou went to the brothel to play and met Li Shuan.

Eh?

He looked around; the starting consumption amount here was not something a Heavenly Prison guard's income could match.

Li Shuan clearly saw him too, his face showing embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, he still leaned over to pay his respects. "Greetings, Prison Warden!"

Chen Guanlou gave an 'en' and invited the other party to sit down and play together.

"Come often?"

"No no no... rarely, occasionally... today is the second time."

"I believe you!" Chen Guanlou smiled but not really, unable to tell whether it was truly believing or just polite words.

"When you were in the south before, you should have often frequented similar places."

He was just chatting.

Li Shuan relaxed a little, ignoring the girls pulling at him, and laughed: "It's okay. I would go when entertaining."

"You are also a person who has been running in the martial arts world for a long time and is used to a wealthy life. To be able to serve in the Heavenly Prison—it's amazing. If your father knew you were so able to bend and stretch, he would definitely be happy in the underworld."

"The Lord overpraises. Just finding a job to mix a meal. It's not easy to live in the capital; having a decent job is better than anything."

"You can think like this, that's very good. If one day you find a better way out, say so, and I will keep the position for you."

"Many thanks, Lord!" Li Shuan looked overjoyed, appearing very excited.

Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes slightly, because he saw another acquaintance, Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin was accompanying two fops and went to the backyard, not seeing him.

Li Shuan looked in the direction of his gaze. "Lord, Squad Leader Xiao..."

"You have to call him Master Xiao!"

"Yes yes yes, Master Xiao he..."

Chen Guanlou interrupted the other party's words; he was pondering the identities of the two fops, looking a bit familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Thinking and thinking, he suddenly remembered the identity of one of the fops—he was the brother-in-law of a certain military general.

He clicked his tongue.

Xiao Jin was actually helping Xiao Changsheng win over military generals; he was really tired of living.

"Lord, does the little one want to go see Master Xiao?"

"Are you very familiar with him?" Chen Guanlou asked casually.

"Not very familiar. Just, occasionally bumping into each other at the gambling house, barely counting as having a bit of incense friendship."

"Don't go. He is entertaining honored guests; if you run over rashly and disturb other people's good deeds, you will be hated."

"The Lord is right. I thought about the matter too simply. Does the Lord know the two young masters beside Master Xiao?"

"I don't know!" Chen Guanlou said casually, staring at the other party. "Are you very curious about the identities of the two fops beside Xiao Jin?"

"No no no..." Li Shuan denied with a smile. "I bumped into them at the gambling house last time and lost a sum of money. I've been pondering this matter recently, wanting to find an opportunity to win back the capital. Today I happened to bump into them, so I had a little thought."

He was open and honest, admitting generously that he wanted to plot against Xiao Jin's money and wanted to cheat at gambling.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly; he found Li Shuan very interesting, speaking very generously about things that couldn't be brought to the table, but instead, when chatting about normal family matters, he always looked left and right. There was a suspicion that he was afraid that others would overestimate his moral bottom line or overestimate his talent.

There were traces of acting!

At this moment, he finally determined why the other party had always given him a feeling of not being worth trusting.

Acting!

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his mood instantly became very good; he finally cracked a small doubt.

"If you want to find Xiao Jin to gamble, go ahead. You also know that I never interfere in your private behavior; if you want to gamble, then gamble, but don't take the job as a bargaining chip."

"Yes yes yes! The Lord's lesson is right! Then..."

"If you want to go, go; this official came here to seek pleasure, not to solve gambling disputes for you."

"The little one won't disturb the Lord; the little one says goodbye!" Li Shuan looked impatient, busy going to gamble to find back the field.

"Interesting!"

One, two—in front of him, they were all acting.

Early in the morning, he lay on the soft couch in the office to rest.

Mu Yiguan Mu came in holding a small teapot, and seeing this, he asked, "Did the Lord work too hard last night? Does the Lord want the old man to prescribe a prescription for nourishing qi and kidneys?"

"This official's kidneys are very good; don't bother yourself."

"Lord, don't be stubborn. When a man reaches a certain age, insufficient kidney qi is a common thing. Don't avoid the doctor!"

"Nonsense! Do I look like someone with insufficient kidney qi?"

Mu Yiguan Mu leaned closer and carefully examined him. "It's better to eat some pills for nourishing qi and kidneys; there's no harm."

Chen Guanlou laughed in anger.

He was a man who possessed the Longevity Dao Fruit, yet he was suspected of kidney deficiency.

"Come, take my pulse. Is it your eyes that have a problem, or do I really have insufficient kidney qi?"

"The old man will not be modest! Please, Lord, extend your left hand..."

Mu Yiguan Mu did not yield and placed his fingers on the pulse.

Chen Guanlou looked calm and confident. The Longevity Dao Fruit kept his body in the best state forever; kidney deficiency—this kind of thing would never find him in this lifetime.

After a while, the pulse diagnosis ended.

He asked, "How is it? Do I need to eat pills for nourishing qi and kidneys?"

"You can eat them or not." Mu Yiguan Mu laughed. "However, the old man still suggests eating some; there's no harm, right."

Chen Guanlou:...

"I don't have kidney deficiency, but I still have to eat?"

"The Lord doesn't know how to restrain himself, and now relying on being young, the body is fine. That doesn't mean there won't be problems in the future. Eat some, nourish some, delay it a bit; there's no harm."

Chen Guanlou laughed. "Anyway, it's best to eat a little, nourish a little."

"Exactly! Men, you have to know how to nourish your body, otherwise the women at home won't be satisfied." Mu Yiguan Mu giggled. Thanks to his immortal-like appearance, he didn't look lewd.

Thinking of the immortal-like Mu Yiguan Mu turning into a lewd little old man—that picture was too beautiful to look at.

"Fine, listen to you; I'll get some pills to eat tomorrow."

Anyway, he had the Longevity Dao Fruit and wasn't afraid of the poison in the medicine.

Mu Yiguan Mu saw that he was willing to listen to advice and was satisfied. Remembering the serious business, he reminded, "A few people died in the Yi-sized prison, all died from fighting. Did Zhang Zhang Yuli Miao tell you?"

Chen Guanlou took out the document pressed at the bottom. "Zhang Zhang Yuli Miao has already reported it to me, and also reported it to the Ministry of Justice. I don't ask about this matter."

Mu Yiguan Mu nodded knowingly and whispered, "Two of them had their spines pinched off and died. There is a master in the Yi-sized prison."

"I said, I don't ask about the Yi-sized prison."

Chen Guanlou looked at the report submitted by the coroner; although there was whitewashing, he could see some problems between the lines.

But he didn't go to the Yi-sized prison, nor did he find Zhang Zhang Yuli Miao to pursue the matter. Because the Ministry of Justice didn't want him to interfere in the Yi-sized prison's affairs, he decisively acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, not taking on things, only sharing the money.

"It's a bit too noisy." Mu Yiguan Mu muttered. He just hoped Chen Guanlou would come forward to deter those lawless prisoners in the Yi-sized prison, and had no other meaning.

Seeing that the other party refused to come forward, the matter was dropped! ===== CHAPTER 1049 =====
