Chapter 1168

As the leader of a brother unit, Chen Guanlou must express concern and condolences to the neighboring brother unit. It is strictly forbidden to gloat over others' misfortunes, and it is even more forbidden to kick someone when they are down.

He stepped into the territory of the Imperial Prison.

He hadn't been here for a long time, and he always felt that the smell of blood was heavier. Even though it was struck by lightning, it couldn't cover up the bloody cruelty inside.

Tsk!

Looking at the dilapidated roof, the blackened wall skin, and the corpses laid out on the ground, he let out a sigh.

"Down on their luck, the heavens don't know how to count, how did it happen to strike the Imperial Prison."

But in his heart, he thought that the heavens struck very accurately.

This group of heartless guys should have had a few more struck to death.

"Are they all prisoners who died?"

The prison guards of the Imperial Prison looked at him with unkind eyes, as if asking him: What do you mean? If you don't strike the prisoners to death, do you want the prison guards and the Brocade Uniform Guards to die? What is your stance? You didn't come to offer condolences and concern; you came to watch a joke, didn't you?

Chen Guanlou hurriedly restrained his expression, and his eyes became compassionate, "What is the plan now? Does the Heavenly Prison need to provide help? If there is anything needed that the Heavenly Prison can help with, just speak up. As brother units, everyone helps each other."

"Many thanks to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen! Only a small part of the prison cells were struck by lightning. We can still cope for the time being. Many thanks for the concern of the colleagues in the Heavenly Prison; we will handle it ourselves."

"That's very good! In short, if there is a need, remember to say it. The brothers in the Heavenly Prison are all warm-hearted."

After seeing the scene and the joke, Chen Guanlou decided to leave.

When he went out, he happened to meet Xiao Jincheng who came to inspect the work.

He immediately grinned, realized it was inappropriate, hurriedly restrained his smile, and showed a serious and solemn expression, "Master Xiao has worked hard. The fire case hasn't been investigated clearly yet, and the Imperial Prison has had such a big accident, sigh... Heavens, oh heavens, what's going on, why are you specifically targeting my Brocade Uniform Guard brothers to harm them! Could it be because my brothers have thick skin and thick flesh?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the Brocade Uniform Guards turned black.

Watching the joke was fine; that was an expected thing. At least avoid the parties involved. Actually watching the joke to their faces and mocking them without any scruples was too much. Even if he was a Ninth-Rank warrior, as long as the boss gave an order, they would dare to draw their blades and fight. Heads can be broken, blood can flow, but face cannot be lost!

Xiao Jincheng had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a million taels and hadn't paid it back.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is thoughtful, actually faster than this official. Finished watching? Any thoughts?"

"The Imperial Prison is full of talents, and they speak nicely; I love this place so much." Chen Guanlou held back his laughter, his stomach aching from holding it in. He knew that sprinkling salt on other people's wounds and mocking others was not right. But he couldn't hold it in!

Oh my, it's rare to be able to see the joke of the Imperial Prison, how can he hold it in.

He had to rush back to the Heavenly Prison to share what he saw with his colleagues.

"Master Xiao, you are busy, I'll go first."

He brushed past the other party and hurried back to the neighboring side.

"Master, the one surnamed Chen was speaking ironically just now, right."

"He said the Imperial Prison is full of talents; what exactly does that mean? I feel like this is a curse."

"That's right, it is a curse."

"But he also said he loves this place so much; what does that mean?"

"Don't you understand irony? He has been watching our joke from beginning to end. Master, can this be tolerated?"

Xiao Jincheng's expression didn't change at all, "If you are not convinced, go challenge him one-on-one. This official will buy you a high-quality coffin and will definitely bury you in a grand and thick manner."

A conversation terminator, true to his name.

With one sentence, he made all the Brocade Uniform Guards shut their mouths.

Although they were not convinced, no one dared to stand up and say: I am not afraid of death, I want to challenge a Ninth-Rank warrior one-on-one.

Chen Guanlou returned to the Heavenly Prison and laughed wantonly.

Thinking of the frustrated faces of the people in the Imperial Prison, he felt refreshed, laughing until tears came out.

Mu Qingshan and the others were extremely envious; they also wanted to go to the scene to see, but they didn't dare. They only dared to gossip about the Imperial Prison behind their backs and didn't have the guts to mock them to their faces.

The fame of the Brocade Uniform Guard was accumulated head by head. And they weren't tired of living, so they didn't have the guts to dance on the King of Hell's head.

"Master, is it really that funny?"

Chen Guanlou nodded frequently, "You should all go and see, see the down-on-their-luck appearance of the people in the Imperial Prison. It's truly rare!"

"Master, did that Master Xiao make things difficult for you?"

"He didn't dare!" Chen Guanlou said happily, "He only knows how to use his coffin face to scare people, and doesn't dare to really take action against this official."

Don't look at Xiao Jincheng's appearance of 'handling cases impartially'; in fact, he is very good at watching the wind direction and is extremely good at avoiding bad luck.

Chen Guanlou relied on this point to repeatedly jump on the other party's bottom line.

He was also not afraid of the other party's retaliation!

Sooner or later, they will fight!

"Did many people die in the Imperial Prison?"

"Not many. Most of those who died were prisoners; only one or two prison guards were struck by lightning!"

Everyone hissed in unison, feeling quite regretful.

Chen Guanlou suddenly had a whim and ordered a count of the prisoners in the three major prisons, ensuring that the people and the accounts matched.

"Why did the Master suddenly order a count of the prisoners?" someone asked curiously.

"The Imperial Prison was struck by lightning, and people are talking about it. This matter will definitely reach the palace, and I'm afraid the Emperor's mood is not very good. Just in case, do a personnel count first to seek peace of mind."

If the Imperial Prison being struck by lightning is not controlled well, it will trigger a round of public opinion crisis. This crisis comes from both the common people and the officialdom, and from the imperial court.

He believed that the censors of the Censorate would definitely not be idle. There would definitely be someone who would make a big fuss about the lightning strike, plus the fire some time ago.

At that time, all kinds of monsters and ghosts would emerge, and I'm afraid all the major prison cells in the capital would not be able to escape a round of whipping! Only by dragging all the prisons into the vortex could the Imperial Prison successfully escape, and the Brocade Uniform Guard could preserve a little face.

The face of the Brocade Uniform Guard also represents the face of the Emperor.

The Emperor will definitely protect the Brocade Uniform Guard.

Can the most loyal dog-legged followers not be protected?!

Every time the prison prisoners are counted, there is always some problem.

This time was no exception; in the deepest prison cell of the A-grade prison, all the prisoners held inside were old prisoners of more than fifteen years. One died, and he had already been dead for two days without being discovered.

If it weren't for this count, I'm afraid it would have been delayed for another day or two before it was known that the person had died.

The servant who delivered the food was very nervous and said directly, "The little one thought he was physically weak and couldn't get up, so I didn't pay much attention. He used to be like this often."

"The food delivered, he didn't eat it, and you didn't notice?"

"There have been such situations before, lying for two or three days at a time. The little one thought he was the same as before, and would be fine after lying for a few days."

Who could have imagined that after lying down this time, he would never get up again.

Chen Guanlou couldn't blame the servant either.

In the deepest part of the prison, prison guards don't come on weekdays. Only the servant who delivers food comes every day. The people held inside are all old prisoners of many years; not only is the prison time long, but the people are also old enough and slow in action. Lying down without moving is also a common thing.

It was inevitable that the servant failed to discover the prisoner's death in time.

Medical Officer Mu completed the preliminary examination and confirmed that it was death from old age.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, and the prison guards wrapped the corpse in a straw mat, carried it out, and placed it in the morgue.
