Chapter 1098: Not Long for This World

Everything came to light.

Chen Guanlou looked at Master Qin with complex eyes. He had been a proper good person his whole life, driven to a dead end, yet he could make up his mind in a blink of an eye to be a 'vicious' person. He didn't hesitate to bet the lives of his whole family, just to drag his enemy into the water.

May I ask, how many people can do this?

Moreover, it was a complete gamble. Before poisoning, he was not sure he could drag the enemy Liu Changrong into the water. It was possible that the whole family died in vain, and he couldn't solve the enemy.

Yet he still gambled!

The size of the gamble and the firmness of the determination were astonishing.

Is this the terribleness of an honest person going crazy?

Before destroying the world, destroy yourself first!

"Why are you looking at this old man like that?" Master Qin couldn't see through Chen Guanlou's gaze, which contained too many meanings.

"You are truly unexpected. I have been in the Heavenly Prison for so many years, and you are the first one I have encountered like this." Chen Guanlou told the truth. A variety that is too rare, so he had to look a few more times.

Master Qin laughed at himself, but the muscles on his cheeks appeared exceptionally stiff.

He couldn't laugh.

He said slowly: "It's nothing more than struggling to survive, seeking a glimmer of life. Before, you hadn't seen it, because the convicted officials in the prison hadn't reached the dead end, and they still had other paths to take. As for this old man, this old man's ability is limited, and he lived a muddled life for half his life. Facing life and death, there is only one life to fight."

"Are you not worried that your family will hate you after knowing the truth?"

"They will not know the truth! Even if one day they know, they will only be grateful to this old man. If it weren't for this old man making a decisive decision and being this villain, the whole family would live in the shadow of the man surnamed Liu for the rest of their lives. Instead of lingering on, with their lives played with in the hands of others, it is better to live toward death!"

Master Qin once again firmed up his idea and erected a high protective wall for himself. As long as the wall is not broken for a day, his Dao heart will not break for a day! He can sleep with peace of mind, without letting anyone down, but instead saved everyone's life.

This kind of person can do big things!

It's just lacking opportunity!

Chen Guanlou nodded, respecting the other party's decision. That kind of decision is not something everyone can make, nor is it something everyone can bear.

He left the wine pot for the other party. "You drink slowly! If it's not enough, ask the prison guard to add more."

"The previous money, Prison Warden Chen doesn't need to refund." Master Qin took the initiative to mention it.

Chen Guanlou waved his hands. "I don't lack that little money of yours. The money that should be refunded will naturally be refunded to you. At least there is still a little travel money left."

Walking out of the A-grade prison, bathing in the sun, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

He nagged about this person Old Qin with Mu Yiguan Mu. "I thought he was a proper honest person, waiting to be slaughtered. But I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he gave me a big one. The decisiveness and ruthlessness of his actions, and the size of the gamble, are rare in the world!"

"Don't underestimate anyone. Especially this group of people who came out of the imperial examinations; their brains are all very smart."

"You are still the one who sees it deeply! Truly underestimated the people of the world!"

Mu Yiguan Mu let out a laugh. "You, you have only worked in the Heavenly Prison for a few years. This old man has spent his whole life in the Heavenly Prison, and has seen all kinds of monsters and ghosts. In the future, you will meet more bizarre people and more bizarre cases."

Chen Guanlou nodded in approval.

Master Du was sick.

Since the beginning of the year, Master Du's body had been bad. Recently, he was even sick to the point of being unable to get out of bed.

Chen Guanlou carried medicinal materials to visit Master Du, seeing his vitality scattered, thinking that his time was not much.

He had expected that Master Du would be a matter of one or two years, but when it really came to the front, Chen Guanlou still felt uncomfortable.

He sat in front of the bed, injected two streams of energy, and carefully combed the other party's body meridians, making the other party feel more comfortable.

Master Du had some strength and sat up on the pillow.

He specially ordered his son and grandson to install a bed couch by the window, just to lie by the window during the day, to feel a little sunshine, and to have a feeling of being alive.

Being alive is good!

Although he had already looked down on life and death, at least for this period of time before death, he could live comfortably.

"Are you busy recently?" he asked.

Chen Guanlou nodded and shook his head. "I was a bit busy a while ago. I'm not busy recently, I can come to see you often."

"No need! I'm a rotten old man, I dislike myself, don't come often. Just come occasionally. This old man still wants to retain a bit of a sage image in your heart."

Chen Guanlou laughed in a low voice upon hearing this. "You are not a sage, you are a good teacher and helpful friend. I was still thinking that when the weather gets hot, I'll find you to drink and chat and scold the Emperor."

"It's you scolding the Emperor, this old man didn't scold. This old man is a good citizen, lived cautiously all his life, and strictly followed the rules. Unlike you, a little rebel, scolding the Emperor every day. If you don't scold for a day, you don't feel comfortable!"

Chen Guanlou laughed. "I am a rebel, and you didn't dislike me. Apart from me, this rebel, no one else finds you to drink and chat."

Master Du laughed along. "That's right! This old man speaks wordily, and everyone dislikes it. It's just you, not disliking it at all. Sigh, having said that, this old man also has a bit of a rebel in him."

"You are a rebel in your heart, but you still follow the set of loyalty and filial piety on your mouth." Chen Guanlou complained.

"You might as well say this old man is hypocritical." Master Du didn't mind at all, but liked the other party speaking the truth. Having been a forgotten-year friend for so many years, why, isn't it because of speaking the truth.

The truth is not good to hear, but he just wants to hear the truth.

People he didn't dare to scold, the other party scolded for him. Words he didn't dare to say, the other party said for him.

Happy!

"Having dealt with you for these years, this old man has lived truly happily. Money has been earned, what should be enjoyed has been enjoyed, not in vain for this life."

"Hmm, I can see it. Have the affairs behind you been arranged?"

An old and a young chatted casually about life and death, very casually, without any avoidance.

Chen Guanlou's point of view is: life and death are all necessary processes of life, just like eating and drinking, there is no need to take death so seriously. Treat it with a normal heart. If you take life and death too seriously, can you not die? If you cry and wail as soon as you talk about death, is it necessary? Having worked hard all your life, you still have to suffer before you die, no need.

Over the years, Master Du, under his subtle influence, also learned to look down on life and death. Not as clamorous as when talking about life and death at the beginning.

"Everything is arranged! After I die, my eldest son will support the coffin back to my hometown. If there is an accident and it is inconvenient to travel, it will be parked in the righteous village outside the city, and then set off three years later."

"Have the futures of your son and grandson been arranged? Do you need my help?"

"Many thanks for your kindness. The Marquis's Mansion has promised to continue using them."

"Fine! In short, if you have any needs, just speak up. Although the name and environment of the Heavenly Prison are not good, earning money is true. If your children and grandchildren have any who want to think it through, I can arrange for them to enter."

"Disappointed your kindness, they all want to study, and I'm afraid they won't be able to put down their status for a while."

"This is also normal. If there are other choices, there is no need to work in the Heavenly Prison." ===== CHAPTER 1099 =====
