Chapter 1175: Creating the Death of the Entire Embroidered Uniform Guard with One Man's Death
The Imperial Prison and the Censorate are fighting.
No matter how much the Imperial Prison's environment is improved, it is futile.
Chen Chen Guanlou, as a martial artist, cannot stand it; every time he enters, he suppresses the urge to vomit from disgust. If it were those people from the Censorate, they would likely vomit the moment they stepped inside.
Furthermore, regarding the Censorate's current investigation of the Jingcheng prisons, the Imperial Prison is the chief culprit.
It is entirely normal for both sides to clash.
Merely listening to the spectacle was not enough; he simply jumped onto the roof, looking down from above to watch the live broadcast.
The Imperial Prison is full of perverted roughnecks who have no concept of rules in their minds. No matter how high an official's rank, even if they are a member of the Huangshi Sect, once they fall into their hands, they will be tortured half to death. How could they fear a group of Zhang Zhang Yushi?
The only rule they recognize is their superior officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
They blocked the gate entrance, refusing to let this group of Zhang Zhang Yushi enter.
The conflict escalated from verbal clashes at the start to mutual shoving, and now it depends on who strikes first to begin the brawl.
"Oh!"
Chen Chen Guanlou was quite surprised; he had expected the perverted jailers of the Imperial Prison to strike first, but he did not expect the Zhang Zhang Yushi to be more violent than the jailers. They simply grabbed whatever weapon was at hand and started fighting.
Truly worthy of being the Zhang Zhang Yushi who dared to spit at the Emperor, with illustrious military achievements recorded in history.
He would not dare to say anything else, but their courage is truly great, truly brave. Completely disregarding their own safety, they kept charging forward. They are even willing to pull down Imperial Princes and Kings; they have fought one Embroidered Uniform Guard leader after another. How could this group of Zhang Zhang Yushi fear a mere few jailers?
Even the Imperial Prison cannot stop their advance.
Charge, charge, charge!
"Hey, they are actually fighting!"
Although the jailers of the Imperial Prison are all perverts, they are not without brains.
As soon as both sides engaged, they showed considerable restraint; they did not fight to the death and held back their strength. Their main goal was to control the movements of the Zhang Zhang Yushi, not to kill them.
They also knew that if even one Zhang Zhang Yushi died today, at least half of the entire Imperial Prison, including all the jailers, would have to die. The reason only half would die is because there would be no one to take their place, and the Imperial Prison still needs people to work.
If there were anyone to take their place, all the jailers would die.
The lives of the Zhang Zhang Yushi are simply that valuable.
When a Zhang Zhang Yushi goes on inspection to the local areas, if they die, the local officialdom must be purged at least three times. Even the runners and odd-job laborers would die in a string!
By the same logic, if a Zhang Zhang Yushi dies in the Imperial Prison today, Xiao Xiao Jincheng would likely become a prisoner. If the matter is blown up further and other issues are dragged in, he would have to go to the execution ground for a head-and-body separation package.
The Zhang Zhang Yushi are treasures; they can be provoked, they can be injured, but they cannot die!
Tsk tsk!
Chen Chen Guanlou watched the spectacle while sighing in admiration.
The Zhang Zhang Yushi are truly fierce, while the jailers of the Imperial Prison are truly reckless!
Why bother!
They should have boldly opened the gate and allowed that group of Zhang Zhang Yushi to inspect. After all, the Imperial Prison's reputation is already what it is; what harm is there in letting people see it?
Now that both sides have fought, the Zhang Zhang Yushi are certainly in the right, and all faults will be borne by the Imperial Prison. Even if this matter is brought before the Emperor, the Imperial Prison will suffer the loss.
Who else but the Imperial Prison, with its stinking reputation, would get struck by lightning? They deserve this calamity!
While both sides were in the midst of a lively brawl, one Zhang Zhang Yushi, in a fit of excitement, even tried to smash his head against the wall, intending to die with his own body to drag down the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard. What boldness, what courage! This group of Zhang Zhang Yushi are truly madmen!
"Do not do it!"
The jailers of the Imperial Prison showed terror on their faces and shouted loudly; this was forcing them to die!
A burst of force struck the Zhang Zhang Yushi directly on the knee; thud, the Zhang Zhang Yushi fell to the ground, just a fist's distance away from the wall.
Thank heavens, at least he did not succeed in dying.
Looking over, it turned out that Xiao Xiao Jincheng had received news and rushed over.
Chen Chen Guanlou sighed inwardly, "The timing is truly perfect."
If he had arrived even three seconds late, the Zhang Zhang Yushi would have been splattered with blood on the spot! Regarding this matter today, no one can expect a peaceful resolution; everyone is waiting for the beheading package.
Xiao Xiao Jincheng was also covered in cold sweat; if a Zhang Zhang Yushi died in the Imperial Prison, he dared not imagine the consequences.
He looked up and glanced at Chen Chen Guanlou on the neighboring roof, snorted coldly, and thought, "You are just watching the fun, not knowing to lend a hand to help. Truly watching the Embroidered Uniform Guard suffer eight lifetimes of bad luck with your own eyes."
If the Embroidered Uniform Guard suffer bad luck, do you really think the Ministry of Justice can remain unscathed? When that time comes, no matter what, we must drag the Three Judicial Offices into the water, thoroughly chaos the court, so that no one can have a good time.
Chen Chen Guanlou smiled happily, extended his hand, and waved at the other party as a greeting.
He is only responsible for watching the show, not for settling the matter.
Xiao Xiao Jincheng is purely taking out his anger on others; it is no wonder the Embroidered Uniform Guard are in a season of trouble!
The brawl came to an abrupt halt due to Xiao Xiao Jincheng's arrival!
"Open the gate, let the Zhang Zhang Yushi enter! No one is allowed to obstruct!" This was his attitude: fully cooperate with the Zhang Zhang Yushi in investigating the prisons. Even if the inside is filthy, even if there are too many criminal facts inside, even if there are many unspeakable dealings inside, at this point, he must be open and honest and stabilize the situation first.
Inside the Imperial Prison, the environment is complex; without someone to lead, they might get lost.
Therefore, this point can be utilized to make an issue of it.
He swept his gaze, which looked as if it had been dipped in poison, over the crowd of jailers; after the matter was over, he would deal with these fools.
Each and every one of them is incapable of success but capable of failure.
The Zhang Zhang Yushi were like they had won a great victory; they strutted with arrogance, their attitude domineering as if it were their own territory, each one walking through the gate with heads held high, stepping into the bloodiest, most vicious, and most unspeakable place in the world.
Having finished watching the show, Chen Chen Guanlou jumped down from the roof.
He announced good news to the crowd of jailers, "The good news is that with the Imperial Prison at the forefront, the Zhang Zhang Yushi will not have time to trouble our Heavenly Prison for the time being. Everyone can rest assured."
Hahaha...
The Imperial Prison's operation this time is truly satisfactory!
"I declare that from today on, the Imperial Prison is my sworn brother, and this will last for three days!"
Typical schadenfreude! But without kicking someone when they are down.
If he truly harbored the thought of kicking someone when they are down, when the Zhang Zhang Yushi used his head to smash the wall seeking death, intending to create the death of the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard with his own death, he would have lent a hand to the Zhang Zhang Yushi, ensuring the Zhang Zhang Yushi died as dead as possible. Even if Xiao Xiao Jincheng arrived in time, he would not be able to save the person back.
Clearly, he's a good man! A great good man!
Unlike the prison next door, who only know how to cause trouble and drag their brother units down with them.
Doctor Mu confirmed, "Zhang Zhang Yushi really didn't die?"
"Didn't die! I saw it with my own eyes — the man was bouncing around, perfectly fine."
"Thank heavens! If he really had died, not only would the prison be implicated, but the Heaven Prison would likely be dragged in too."
"He didn't die in the Heaven Prison, so why would the Heaven Prison be implicated?"
"In court affairs, there's no reasoning to be had. Sometimes it purely comes down to whose voice is loudest, whose presence is grandest! When it comes to shouting, who can out-shout the censors of the Imperial Inspectorate? So — offend anyone but never offend that lot of censors."
Doctor Mu spoke with the air of someone who'd been through it, clearly having seen plenty of similar affairs.
Chen Chen Guanlou went along, saying: "No wonder the world says censors are a bunch of shit-stirrers — people both love and hate them."
Recalling the censor who had rammed the wall — in that moment, it was truly fearless! Not a trace of play-acting or intimidation; he really had gone in with the thought of dying on the spot and taking a Embroidered Uniform Guard down with him.
Whether a man truly wants to die or is merely putting on a show, he can see through it at a glance. So he grew all the more admiring of these censors — they really don't value their lives!
