Chapter 1092: Anxious to Kill People

~8 min read 1,542 words

Yu Zhaoan was silent for a moment and asked back: "Why should this official do you this favor? Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is enthusiastic about helping others, but this official does not have this hobby. How the Qin family is, how Liu Changrong is, what does it have to do with this official."

Chen Guanlou understood in his heart. "The Qin family and Liu Changrong have nothing to do with the Prime Minister. This lawsuit is purely me asking for a favor before you. If you can help, I will be extremely grateful, owe you a favor, and will definitely repay it in the future."

"If this official doesn't help, what will you do?"

"I can only find another way and ask others for help."

"Who can you find? The Cui family, you shouldn't know them. Could it be that you want to find Liu Changrong directly and threaten him with force?" Yu Zhaoan guessed.

Chen Guanlou laughed. "That is not impossible."

He had indeed considered threatening with force.

Later, he gave up this plan.

Since he was in the officialdom, running errands for convicted officials, he still had to respect the rules of the officialdom. The officialdom did not promote threatening with force, but emphasized human feelings, factions, and circles.

Currently, he intended to take the normal path and do things according to the rules.

If it really didn't work, he would consider the plan of threatening with force last.

Whoever's rice bowl you hold, you follow whose rules.

Since he ate the public's food, he would abide by the public's rules and try his best not to be the first person to break the rules.

Yu Zhaoan also laughed along, his mood somewhat complicated.

He appreciated the other party's frankness, but also hated the other party's frankness.

"You have been in the Heavenly Prison for so many years, and you really haven't changed your original intention; you still like to run errands for people. This official has had bad luck in the past year or two, and the situation is not good."

"Does the Prime Minister want to say that Prime Minister Xie is too domineering and has suppressed you?"

Yu Zhaoan raised his eyebrows and smiled. "You really know everything. Xie Changling has not only suppressed this official, but all the officials in the court, including the nobles, have been suppressed to death by him. Your Marquis almost fell into his trap too. If it weren't for the Western Liang moving south, the Marquis's Mansion would be in a different situation now."

"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. Then, will the Prime Minister help me? It's just a matter of one sentence; the man surnamed Liu wouldn't dare not listen to your instructions. He is a lone pole, without relatives or clansmen, and can only rely on the Cui family. The Cui family has to listen to you, and the man surnamed Liu has to listen to you even more."

Yu Zhaoan smiled ambiguously. "If this official helps you, what benefits can I get?"

"What benefits does the Prime Minister want?" Chen Guanlou was too lazy to guess and asked directly.

Yu Zhaoan curled his fingers and tapped the table lightly. "This official doesn't have anything that requires you to step in for the time being. However, remember that you owe this official a favor. If there is anything you can help with in the future, you cannot decline."

"That depends on what it is."

Chen Guanlou began to bargain; he had to add various restrictions to the favor debt.

"You can't ask me to kill someone, and I'll obediently go and kill someone. You can't ask me to get rid of a political enemy, and I'll run errands for you. Let me state first, I don't do the job of killing; I am a Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng, not a fighting guild assassin."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhaoan laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke of the day.

After laughing, he coughed lightly and said: "Rest assured, I will definitely not ask you to kill anyone. Although your martial arts cultivation is profound, you are really not a good assassin. Real assassins don't have as much nonsense as you, and don't have so many requirements."

Like a chatterbox.

He would have to be crazy to ask Chen Guanlou to kill someone, leaving a handle for nothing.

"Fine! As long as it's not killing, other things are easy to discuss. Then it's settled; you handle the man surnamed Liu for me, and I owe you a favor."

Chen Guanlou wanted to cut the Gordian knot and leave as soon as possible.

He felt that the other party's mental state seemed a bit wrong, perhaps because he had received too much stimulation in the court struggle. After all, his opponent was that monster Xie Changling.

Even Marquis Pingjiang had to rack his brains to deal with Xie Changling.

It must be admitted that Emperor Jian Shi had some luck on him. Emperor Jian Shi was a piece of trash, and his ability as an emperor was mediocre. But his luck was good; he had Xie Changling to help him handle court affairs and watch over the world, and as long as he didn't mess around, he could lie down and win.

Yu Zhaoan's eye corners twitched uncontrollably a few times; his mood really couldn't be called good, and he was a bit irritable.

"It's rare for Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to come once; it's not too late to leave after finishing the banquet."

"No. I have things waiting to be handled. Prime Minister, I will take my leave first! Next time, next time I will definitely drink with you."

Yu Zhaoan really wanted to keep him, but his reason told him not to mess around.

A ninth-rank martial artist must be given enough respect.

"Fine! If there's a chance next time, we'll drink again!"

Chen Guanlou took his leave.

Yu Zhaoan's expression was gloomy, sitting in his seat without moving.

"Prime Minister, do you want to go back to your room to rest?" The steward stepped forward and asked softly.

Yu Zhaoan's eyebrows twitched twice, and he said softly: "Am I too gentle? Everyone can ride on this official's head and act recklessly."

"Prime Minister, you misunderstood; there is no one in the world who dares to ride on the Prime Minister's head and act wildly." The steward tried his best to soothe him.

Yu Zhaoan let out a cold laugh. "You didn't see the Emperor's attitude, but this official can feel it. The Emperor wants to force this official to retire; on what grounds! It must be that man surnamed Xie's methods."

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister Xie targeting you is not a matter of one or two days. For a long time, both sides can be considered to have fought to a draw; why bother ruining your health for that man surnamed Xie."

Yu Zhaoan drank his wine in silence. "Contact Marquis Pingjiang for this official."

"Prime Minister, that won't do. We are not on the same path as that man surnamed Chen. Those nobles only want to use us, without any sincerity at all."

"It doesn't matter! I have to find something for that man surnamed Xie to do." Yu Zhaoan crushed the wine cup, his mood very unpleasant.

Chen Guanlou left the Yu residence, facing the night wind, his mood quite good.

The feeling Yu Zhaoan gave him was a bit crazy and not quite normal. It seems the work pressure is very high.

He returned to the Heavenly Prison to rest, only to hear that Master Qin had diarrhea, and the situation was a bit serious.

He hurriedly went down to the A-grade prison, where Mu Yiguan Mu was providing rescue.

"What's the situation?"

"Preliminary judgment is poisoning." Mu Yiguan Mu was concise.

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly, and Chen Quan was apologizing on the side.

Chen Guanlou interrupted the other party. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Liu Changrong's hands are long enough; he has even infiltrated the Heavenly Prison. He is so anxious, so impatient to kill Old Qin. Someone, go to the Qin family and take a look. Take more people with you; the Qin family cannot die."

He took the money and promised to ensure the safety of the whole Qin family.

He had just started running errands, and the man surnamed Liu took the lead; it was too much of a slap in the face.

He also ordered Chen Quan: "Investigate it well for me; who exactly took the man surnamed Liu's money and secretly poisoned Old Qin. Once found out, drive them out. Knowing that I want to protect the lives of the Qin family, they still dare to eat inside and out and go against me. Such people must not be kept."

Chen Quan bowed and took the order.

Chen Guanlou asked Mu Yiguan Mu again: "Can you find out how Old Qin was poisoned? Was it through food and drink or was he forced to drink poison?"

As long as the method of poisoning was known, the suspect could basically be locked down, and one investigation would be accurate. ===== CHAPTER 1093 =====
