Chapter 1194: Flattering Above and Bullying Below

Chen Guanlou stood in the Imperial Prison morgue, his face full of heartache.

"I handed over a perfectly good person to your Imperial Prison, and this is the result? Does your Imperial Prison eat people? How do you expect me to explain this to his family?

He was so young, and because he helped your Imperial Prison share the burden, he ended up in such a state. Your Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't act like humans! No wonder, when you were in trouble, not a single government office in the capital stood up to help you! It's all the evil you've done!"

Embroidered Uniform Guard:...

Just listen obediently to the other party scolding!

Otherwise, what else could they do? They couldn't argue with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen that the Embroidered Uniform Guard wasn't like that.

Don't forget, a few days ago, the Embroidered Uniform Guard drew their own knives and killed over a hundred Imperial Prison guards. Killing their own people, killing them fast, ruthlessly, and accurately.

With that, dare they say they aren't like that?

When it comes to ruthlessness, who dares to compare with the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

"Return my person!" Chen Guanlou roared! He made a full gesture!

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please restrain your grief. The dead cannot be resurrected, this..."

"Our boss will definitely give the Heavenly Prison brother and Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen a satisfactory explanation."

They decisively pushed the matter onto their own boss.

Chen Guanlou chuckled twice, expressing disdain. "Your boss can't even protect himself!"

The two Embroidered Uniform Guards looked at each other; where did this come from?

Seeing that the other party couldn't grasp it, he scoffed and cursed, "Idiots!"

Two Embroidered Uniform Guards:...

Don't be angry, don't be angry, firmly don't be angry.

At this moment, the coroner finished the autopsy.

"Reporting to Da Ren, the injury is on the head, an impact injury; it should have hit some sharp object, and the person died on the spot."

"That's right, it did hit the protruding corner of the wall. The scene is still preserved. Does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen want to see the scene?"

"I naturally want to see the scene. But I'm more curious, how could my person hit the wall for no reason. Don't tell me he was walking unsteadily. A big young man, healthy, and practiced a few moves. My person cannot die in vain!"

"We are also investigating the cause of the accident. The Imperial Prison was broken into tonight, and the situation was very dangerous and chaotic."

Chen Guanlou frowned upon hearing this.

This matter also had something to do with Zhang Daohe.

That guy surnamed Zhang, breaking into the prison is one thing, but actually killing his person. This account must be settled.

Others couldn't find the guy surnamed Zhang.

But he had a way!

As long as the guy surnamed Zhang was still in the capital, he had a way to hook him out.

"Go, let's see the scene!"

After seeing the scene, it was determined to be an accident.

The situation was chaotic at the time, the light was dim, and the cult bandits broke into the prison with great momentum. The prison guards were all good at saving their lives and were hiding everywhere. This wasn't it—someone didn't know who was clumsy and pushed someone.

Who exactly pushed the person—if it were elsewhere, finding the murderer might take some effort.

But in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, in the Imperial Prison, Xiao Jincheng stood in front of people, his gaze swept, and the murderer was so scared he peed his pants and stood out on his own.

The reputation of 'Ghost Fear' wasn't called for nothing.

"I, I, I, I was too panicked at the time. He was blocking my way. I was in a hurry, so I pushed him. I didn't mean to harm him; if I had known that such a push would cause him to lose his life, I definitely wouldn't have reached out. I was just thinking of pushing him away so he wouldn't block the road; I truly had no intention of harming anyone. Woo woo woo... I don't want to die, I was unintentional, I didn't mean to harm anyone..."

The prison guard was dragged down.

"The murderer has been found. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, why don't we go out and chat."

Chen Guanlou nodded; he wasn't willing to stay in the prison either; it was disgusting.

Together they left the prison and headed to the office.

Company Commander Yang transformed into a little maid, serving wholeheartedly. It's just that his face was swollen, which wasn't very elegant.

"The death of the Heavenly Prison brother is an accident. I feel deep regret and apology!"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly; he didn't expect the guy surnamed Xiao to be able to speak. It was his shallowness. He was the red man in front of the Emperor; the Emperor didn't hesitate to fight the court officials to protect him. How could he not be able to speak if he was a red man?

The position of Embroidered Uniform Guard head first required loyalty, followed by outstanding ability, the ability to handle affairs, the ability to share worries for the Emperor, and the ability to guess the Emperor's mind. In short, one must have a heart with seven orifices and exquisite hearts. It wasn't what the world thought, only knowing how to pull a face, arrest people, and kill people, and not doing human things.

It could be said that the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard must be a top-tier talent among elites to be able to take on the role.

For two consecutive emperors, Xiao Jincheng had sat firmly in the position of Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, and he was so young, which showed how outstanding his ability was and how much the Emperor treasured him.

As for his family background, it could all be ignored.

A descendant of a military general, he lost his father when he was young, and his mother couldn't stand up, being bullied by Xiao family relatives to the point that they almost couldn't keep the only property in the family. Xiao Jincheng, when he was young, replaced his mother and started to manage the household. The first battle was to defend the family property. Later, he begged his father's colleagues and friends, and when he was young, he went to the military camp to experience, climbing up step by step.

Halfway through, if it weren't for a case, he might still be in the military camp, being a fourth or fifth-rank military general, leading troops to fight on the front line.

Because he performed outstandingly in the case, someone cherished his talent and decisively transferred him to the Embroidered Uniform Guard to enrich the strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

After entering the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the guy surnamed Xiao could be said to be like a fish in water, and his promotion was rare in the world. Later, he was valued by the late Emperor and was personally appointed by the late Emperor as the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, becoming the youngest Commander in history. And sitting in the position for two emperors. This move broke the tradition of 'one emperor, one court'!

Chen Guanlou also saw through the face of the guy surnamed Xiao—flattering above and bullying below. When facing above, where was there any coffin face? He probably laughed more brilliantly than flowers. When facing below, he was stingy with words, and a coffin face was put on for years, obviously looking down on others.

He hummed twice. "Don't say high-sounding words; I was kind enough to help you and borrowed people to you. As a result, people died! Tsk! The Imperial Prison is worthy of being a tiger and wolf den! No wonder all the government offices in the imperial court look down on you.

Old Xiao, you and I have known each other for so many years, don't play official articles with me, and don't just say beautiful words. Give something practical; that's a life, a living life—how to compensate, how to appease, how to give an explanation to the Heavenly Prison brothers. You come up with a plan, and I'll evaluate it to see if you have any sincerity."

Xiao Jincheng didn't like rolling his eyes; otherwise, his eyes would have gone to heaven at this moment.

"This accident was caused by cult bandits breaking into the prison. In the final analysis, the cult bandits are the culprits. Forgot, the cult bandit leader is a close friend of yours!"

"Are you trying to frame me?" Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes, and the aura of a Ninth Rank martial artist opened up. In the office, except for the guy surnamed Xiao who could barely cope, everyone else knelt on the ground, unable to breathe.

"I'm telling you, the cult bandits deserve to die! Including the cult bandit leader surnamed Zhang." Xiao Jincheng gritted his teeth, supporting his physical discomfort, and still had to pretend to be light and airy. He couldn't lose the face of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Oh!

Chen Guanlou restrained his aura, and everyone felt their bodies loosen and could breathe normally. Everyone showed a look of lingering fear. The power of a Ninth Rank martial artist was terrifying! ===== CHAPTER 1195 =====
