Chapter 1117: Beaten to death

"In short, the Xiao family is incompetent."

Although Xiao Jin left the Heavenly Prison, in Chen Guanlou's heart, after many years of friendship, he still regarded the other party as his own. If the other party was rich, he wouldn't stick to him. Now that the other party was dead, he had to figure out the truth no matter what; he couldn't die in vain.

A perfectly good person, not old, how could he just disappear?

"The Xiao family lacks foundation and ability; it's inevitable." Physician Mu was completely in the attitude of someone who had been there, old in age, seen much, and really didn't find it rare for new nobles like the Xiao family to rise and fall over decades.

Only one person died; it didn't even count as a matter, and it was only this group of people in the Heavenly Prison who paid attention out of brotherly friendship. If there was a real matter, it was thousands of people dying, thousands of people dying, or even tens of thousands of people dying. Rivers of blood! The executioner's knife was dull.

By evening, the matter was finally inquired clearly.

Xiao Jin was indeed dead, dead through and through.

Beaten to death alive!

Taking the blame for Xiao Changsheng.

Upper-level struggle, Xiao Jin followed Xiao Changsheng. Xiao Changsheng had limited ability, a coward, couldn't protect people, and could only watch his own people being beaten to death.

"Who beat him?"

Chen Guanlou asked sternly.

"The third young master of the Shi family sent people to do it."

Physician Mu reminded from the side, "In the palace, Imperial Consort De's maiden family is surnamed Shi. Imperial Consort De's son is the Fifth Imperial Prince, who fights very fiercely with Imperial Consort Xiao. The Shi family has a deep foundation and keeps many martial artists."

"What was Xiao Changsheng doing?"

Chen Quan explained the process of the inquired matter one by one, "Both sides were fighting ball outside the city, and they started fighting before the result came out. Xiao Jin was following Xiao Changsheng at the time and spoke a few impolite words on behalf of the surnamed Xiao.

Later, Xiao Changsheng wanted to settle the matter, and the other party put forward a request, letting Xiao Jin fight with their people, and the matter would be settled. Xiao Changsheng didn't stop it and agreed on the spot. The other party didn't follow the rules and sent a martial artist. Xiao Jin only knew a few fake moves and was no match for the martial artist at all, being beaten the whole time, suffering heavy injuries. He was carried home without even saying a last word before he breathed his last."

After a pause, Chen Quan said again: "When Xiao Jin was beaten, everyone saw that the other party deliberately sent a martial artist, the purpose being to lose Xiao Changsheng's face. However, Xiao Changsheng didn't let out a fart from beginning to end; clearly, he had abandoned Xiao Jin at that time. Choosing such a master, Xiao Jin's brain must have been flooded with water. He was also stupid, not knowing how to admit defeat on the spot, and kept being beaten."

Chen Quan was angry while defending Xiao Jin, angry at his failure to live up to expectations, angry, and helpless. Gods fight, little ghosts suffer. But if Xiao Changsheng had protected him a little, it would just be a matter of losing face, and Xiao Jin wouldn't have been beaten to death.

In the end, in front of Xiao Changsheng, Xiao Jin was just a dog, a dog that could be abandoned at any time.

He didn't treat Xiao Jin as a human at all.

He was furious, angry at Xiao Jin for being a fool, angry at Xiao Changsheng for being cold-blooded and ruthless, angry at his own incompetence. As for the Third Young Master Shi, bullying the weak, only looking for a sense of existence from small characters.

None of them were good birds!

Chen Guanlou, after listening to the process, instead calmed down.

"Notify the afternoon, Xiao Jin has passed away. Those who have friendship and care about past friendship, go to the Xiao family to pay respects when you have time."

"Master, do you just watch Xiao Jin die?" Chen Quan was very unwilling.

Chen Guanlou sneered, "When he left the Heavenly Prison, I told him that if he couldn't mix, he could come back. The Heavenly Prison always had a place for him. He followed the wrong person and sought his own death; what do you want this official to do? Kill everyone who was present at the time? On what basis?"

His words were both cold and ruthless. He changed from his previous anxious and concerned appearance. It seemed he accepted the result of Xiao Jin being beaten to death.

Chen Quan was unconvinced, unwilling, "However, Xiao Jin was finally out of the Heavenly Prison. How can we just watch him die in vain."

"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Guanlou asked rhetorically, "Tell me, what should be done. As long as what you say makes sense, I will listen to you."

Chen Quan gritted his teeth, "Report to the official, at least let the martial artist who beat him pay with his life."

Chen Guanlou didn't want to speak and signaled Physician Mu to come forward.

Physician Mu coughed lightly, "This kind of case of death due to fighting, the government generally doesn't accept it. Usually, both sides of the fight sign an agreement beforehand, life and death are up to fate, and they don't interfere with each other. Once you enter the fighting arena, it equals voluntarily agreeing to abide by the agreement."

Chen Quan, as a prison guard, naturally knew these rules. He was just unwilling and felt it was not worth it for Xiao Jin.

"However, the other party didn't follow the rules, a martial artist beating an ordinary person; what kind of fight is this."

"Alright, say less." Physician Mu persuaded, "Prison Warden Chen has his own ideas; don't be long-winded anymore. Hurry down and rest; tomorrow morning you still have to go to the Xiao family to pay respects."

After persuading Chen Quan away, Physician Mu turned to persuade Chen Guanlou.

"Master, don't mess around. This matter of Xiao Jin, to tell the truth, he sacrificed for his master Xiao Changsheng. Although it's very not worth it. Jianghu matters are settled in Jianghu, official matters are settled in officialdom."

Don't look at Chen Guanlou speaking ruthlessly, with an attitude that Xiao Jin deserved to die. Physician Mu knew him too well; he definitely wouldn't let this matter rest. He would always kill a few people to calm the anger in his heart.

He wasn't worried about anything else, just afraid that he would kill with excitement and kill people who shouldn't be killed. For example, Xiao Changsheng, for example, Young Master Shi. Then the matter would be big! Absolutely not! Killing the martial artist who fought was enough; it's the so-called life for a life!

Chen Guanlou gave a cold laugh, "When have I ever messed around."

Physician Mu snorted, "Yes, you don't mess around, but when you kill, you can't control your hands. Master, Xiao Jin was destined to have this disaster. The family didn't pursue it, why do we have to be dogs catching mice and meddling in other people's business. From the day Xiao Jin left the Heavenly Prison, he and you and I have no relationship. To say something cold, whether he dies or not, what does it have to do with us."

"Physician Mu, do you have no heart?"

"If this old man had a heart, the grass on the grave would have been one person high. This old man has no heart, so he can calmly look at the encounters of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison. Master has been in the Heavenly Prison for so many years, how much conscience is left, how much integrity is left, and where is the bottom line?"

After Physician Mu finished speaking, he sighed first.

Then he said again: "Xiao Jin followed Xiao Changsheng, enjoyed wealth and glory, and should bear the corresponding consequences and pay the corresponding price. When he went down to fight, didn't he know that this trip was ominous? But he still went forward without hesitation to fight for his master; this is called loyalty to the master. Why don't you fulfill him."

These words made sense, and Chen Guanlou couldn't refute for a moment.

Xiao Jin, such a smart and oily person, best at watching people's expressions, distinguishing the wind direction, and avoiding bad luck, still went down to fight; it was indeed loyalty!

He sneered, "It makes this official look like I'm meddling."

"Listen to this old man's advice, don't mess around!" ===== CHAPTER 1118 =====
