Chapter 1214: The Ministry of Justice and the Six Fan Gate Released Water Together
Chen Guanlou turned his head and looked at Ji Chengqi in the cell. He and Xia Laoguan were held by the prison guards with their arms behind their backs, not allowing them to move around.
"The Ji surname is clearly a weak chicken. With his combat power, when can he kill Xia Laoguan? The release of water above is really not particular."
"It's mainly to let him vent his anger. What a good reading seedling, can't be ruined like this, must let him spit out that breath in his heart." Huang Ye said carefully. 【1214
"Is this also the intention from above?" Chen Guanlou asked.
He had been busy with other matters recently and hadn't paid much attention to the C-grade prison. He didn't expect that this cell was actually holding a 'precious treasure'! That group from the Ministry of Justice truly loves Ji Chengqi! They were so obviously going easy on him that even the Six Shanmen Sect were slacking off and not investigating the case properly.
Huang Ye nodded; it was indeed the intention from above.
Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue.
"Aren't they afraid that the one surnamed Ji will be beaten to death by Old Man Xia?"
"There are prison guards watching. Besides, Old Man Xia has injuries on him; he can't beat Ji Chengqi. If his injuries heal and he recovers his strength, we'll just take him to the torture room for a walk. In short, we cannot let him become strong, and we cannot let him threaten Ji Chengqi's life."
How very thoughtful.
Not only considering letting Ji Chengqi vent his anger but also ensuring his safety. Treating their own biological son would be about the same.
It proves once again that that group from the Ministry of Justice really likes Ji Chengqi. They even managed to gain a group of fanboys while seeking revenge.
Chen Guanlou couldn't figure out why he couldn't enjoy such treatment.
That bunch of bastards from the Ministry of Justice didn't have a good attitude toward him, and occasionally even rolled their eyes at him. Sigh, the difference between people is even greater than the difference between people and dogs.
He returned to the cell door and waved his hand; the prison guards released the arms of the two men.
Both men gained their freedom and were twisting their arms to relieve the pain.
"Old Man Xia, you will soon be dragged out to be beheaded; you had better behave yourself for me." Chen Guanlou warned the other party.
Old Man Xia, however, was unconvinced, "Even if I'm beheaded, I won't regret it. The Ji family ruined my family's feng shui and snatched my family's fortune. All of this should have belonged to my Xia family; why should they, the Ji family, occupy all the benefits? Killing them was good, killing them was wonderful! It's just a pity I couldn't kill all the Ji family members and left behind a little brat. Sigh, I killed them too early. I should have taken advantage of when the little brat came home to kill the entire Ji family."
"Ah!..."
Hearing only a roar of rage from Ji Chengqi, he rushed up again, and the two were tangled in a fight once more.
"Stop right there!"
With a stern shout from Chen Guanlou, both men fell to the ground, unable to move, with blood coming from their ears and noses.
"Are you behaving now? One by one, all you know is to fight and kill all day long. You surnamed Ji, why aren't you studying at the academy instead of running to the Heavenly Prison? Showing off that you have an awesome teacher? If you have nothing to do, get out of the Heavenly Prison tomorrow. The Heavenly Prison doesn't feed idlers."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengqi immediately became anxious, "My lord, I'm not, I didn't, I just wanted to..."
"I don't care what you want to do." Chen Guanlou's expression was serious. He paused and then said: "You have already succeeded; what else do you want? Don't push your luck. A person must have a bottom line and principles. Old Man Xia has no bottom line and no principles, so he will soon go to see the King of Hell. Do you want to be like him?"
"But, the government officials said it's dangerous outside, and told me to hide here."
The so-called danger is the second son of the Xia family who is studying under a master outside.
As for the eldest son of the Xia family, he only has one breath left, and could die at any moment. Keeping his life is likely to keep the second son of the Xia family, who is about to return to the capital, in check.
Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, "I will have someone arrange a new cell for you, a single room. You better reflect on yourself!"
Ji Chengqi was clearly unhappy, but facing Chen Guanlou, he had no room to resist.
Chen Guanlou said to Old Man Xia again: "You better behave yourself for me. If you make me unhappy, believe it or not, I will have the higher-ups change the sentence to death by a thousand cuts! You know what death by a thousand cuts is, three thousand knives, not one less, not one more, until the very last knife can the prisoner stop breathing. And it has to last for three days."
Hearing this, Old Man Xia was first dazed, then revealed fear, and his body couldn't help but tremble. So, he was afraid too.
Ji Chengqi, however, was full of excitement, "Can the sentence really be changed to death by a thousand cuts?"
Chen Guanlou glanced at him, "Shut up! Even if you are the victim, you cannot interfere with the Ministry of Justice's handling of the case."
Ji Chengqi finally understood that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen did not care about the Ministry of Justice's instructions and was dissatisfied with some of his own behaviors. He decisively shut his mouth, striving to be a quail.
He is a person who knows the times! It's just that he is too young and lacks experience.
"Old Man Xia, do you understand?"
Old Man Xia nodded repeatedly, understood, understood. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is the same as other prison guards but also different; he hates him just the same, but does not hope for him to have an accident in the cell. He would rather have him go to the execution ground to be beheaded than die in the Heavenly Prison.
Other prison guards don't care, and even wish he would be beaten to death by the kid surnamed Ji.
He is also willing to die on the execution ground. Since he, Old Man Xia, dared to kill and wipe out the entire Ji family, he wants everyone to know that it was the Ji family that ruined his family's feng shui and snatched his family's fortune.
He does not kill innocent people.
But the Ji family, everyone is guilty! And the crime is unforgivable!
He kills, and the reason is justified.
He, Old Man Xia, is upright and cannot let his reputation be ruined.
Chen Guanlou signaled Huang Ye to handle the matter and lock the two up separately. Whatever Ji Chengqi requested is all bullshit. On his turf, everything must be done according to his rules. Fighting in the cell every day, what kind of decorum is that? The atmosphere of the Heavenly Prison has been ruined.
Just for the personal desire of the one surnamed Ji, to ruin the atmosphere of the C-grade prison, keep dreaming. How big is the face of the one surnamed Ji, making this request and that request.
The Ministry of Justice not pursuing his responsibility for hiring a killer is already a show of leniency. Yet he dares to push his luck and make demands.
Huang Ye acted very quickly and immediately had the prison guards separate the two, keeping them far apart, not even in the same corridor. They couldn't even see each other, let alone communicate or curse at each other.
After separating them, Chen Guanlou nodded with satisfaction, and he gave Old Man Xia another word, "It's not easy for you to have lived until now, cherish it well."
If it weren't for the Xia family extermination case, Old Man Xia would have already been beheaded by now.
He walked to the cell door where Ji Chengqi was locked up, "You better behave yourself for me. Although there is no evidence for what you did for the time being, everyone has a scale in their heart.
There are more smart people in this world than you imagine. Whether it's that they can't find evidence, or they don't want to find it, or they haven't put in the effort to find it, you can ponder that yourself.
Don't waste the benefits gained from that bit of sympathy and pity. If you persist in the imperial examinations, you will also enter the officialdom in the future. Leaving some goodwill behind is not a bad thing. If you use up all this sympathy and pity at once, there will come a day sooner or later when you will regret it!"
Ji Chengqi was left speechless, not knowing how to react for a moment.
He never expected that a prison warden could see things so clearly.
That's right, he did indeed take advantage of the government's sympathy and pity to exploit loopholes and wipe out the entire Xia family! At the moment, it seems indeed inappropriate to have any more unnecessary actions.
"Many thanks to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, the student understands."
"I hope you truly understand!"
