Chapter 1215
"My lord, do you also think the kid surnamed Ji has a problem?"
Huang Ye followed Chen Guanlou and asked in a low voice.
Chen Guanlou glanced at the other party, "It's obvious, why ask more. However, since the higher-ups have clearly stated their attitude to protect this kid, and no evidence has been found to convict him, we will just pretend we don't know anything. Understand?"
Huang Ye understood a little, but also didn't understand a little.
Chen Guanlou saw through his thoughts at a glance, "Are you wondering why, even though we discovered suspicious points, we didn't report them? I have emphasized repeatedly before that we are prison guards, this is the Heavenly Prison, and we are only responsible for guarding prisoners, not for investigating cases, catching people, or trying cases. So, don't play that game with me. Besides, if you really report it, watch out for the Ministry of Justice firing you."
"My lord, rest assured, I understand everything, and I will never reveal a word to the outside. I am just puzzled, why can my lord tolerate Ji Chengqi? After all, the one surnamed Ji is not a good person."
"Why can I tolerate him? Of course, it's the same as those people outside. He seeks revenge for his grievances and settles his grudges without crying or being depressed. For this kind of person, I am happy to make things convenient for him."
"Did the Xia family members die in vain?"
"How can it be in vain to pay with their lives for the Ji family? The one who committed the evil is Old Man Xia; it is the cause and effect he planted with his own hands. Those who kill will always be killed. Since he took the initiative to provoke conflict and hatred and dared to wipe out the entire Ji family, he must bear the corresponding consequences. This consequence includes not only the death of the third son of the Xia family and his own death, but also the death of his family members. Evildoers must have the awareness of being retaliated against and wiped out!"
Chen Guanlou had no sympathy at all for the murdered Xia family members.
Old Man Xia's jealousy, and wiping out an entire family because of jealousy, shows his narrow-mindedness and vicious nature. The family style of the Xia family must not have been much better either.
"Old Man Xia kept emphasizing that it was the Ji family that ruined their family's feng shui and snatched their family's fortune. My lord, could this be true?"
"If you believe it, it's true; if you don't believe it, it's false. However, if you are curious, we can invite someone to take a look at the feng shui of the two families."
Chen Guanlou also became interested.
It just so happens that he is going to Yuquan Palace to find Pure Yang Zhenren to buy Five Elements Pills, so he might as well ask Pure Yang Zhenren to take a look at the feng shui. In the field of feng shui, he believes the old priest still has some skills, otherwise, he wouldn't have been invited to the palace to look at feng shui.
Royal use, a golden signboard.
Go as soon as you say!
Rushing to Yuquan Palace, there are some trees in the mountains, the leaves are starting to turn yellow, golden and brilliant, in patches, all over the mountains and plains, beautiful and breathtaking.
Unfortunately, Chen Guanlou has no ink in his belly and doesn't like reading serious books, only having one sentence: It's really beautiful, damn it!
It's really a waste of the beautiful scenery.
Entering Yuquan Palace, the road was unobstructed, and he went directly to the backyard, the quiet room where Pure Yang Zhenren usually meditates and practices.
"Old priest, I've come to visit you, are you moved?"
Pure Yang Zhenren was flipping through ancient books, and hearing his movement, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he decisively closed the book, signaling his little apprentice to prepare tea. It must be top-quality tea leaves.
"Little Friend Chen has a picky mouth; if the grade of the tea leaves isn't high enough, he can tell just by smelling it. By then, he will mock me again, saying I'm fake and insincere! His mouth is very poisonous, and I can't take it."
"Since Master can't take it, why do you entertain him every time? And even sell him the healing Golden Core?" The little apprentice was full of doubts.
"You don't understand! He, although his mouth is poisonous, is sincere in treating people. He never plays fake things. Good is good, bad is bad. If one day, I fall into trouble, the only person I can entrust and not worry about being backstabbed is Little Friend Chen. Go, invite him in, and be respectful!"
Chen Guanlou was invited into the quiet room.
"Old priest, were you bad-mouthing me behind my back?"
"You are so boring, throwing dirt at me as soon as you arrive. I didn't bad-mouth you, instead, I should suspect if you were bad-mouthing me behind my back."
Chen Guanlou laughed, "I'm too lazy to bad-mouth people behind their backs; I always say it to their faces. You old priest, you are very insincere. Clearly rich as oil, a single pill costs thousands of taels of silver, yet you still call yourself 'this poor priest' every day. If you were poor, I would have to go to the street to beg for food."
Pure Yang Zhenren snorted, slightly dissatisfied, "You should say this to that bunch of bald donkeys. That bunch of bald donkeys call themselves 'this poor monk' all day long, but look, there isn't a single poor temple in the world. Not to mention rich as oil, they are even wealthier than the local landlords and rich men. The temples in the capital are even more incredible, all big money-grubbers. Yet the imperial court even gives them tax exemptions, humph..." It was both dissatisfaction and jealousy.
"Doesn't the imperial court give Yuquan Palace tax exemptions?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.
Pure Yang Zhenren said very frankly: "They do! There's no reason not to give me tax exemptions if they give them to the bald donkeys. Why do you have time to come over today?"
"I came because of a case."
Chen Guanlou told the story of the Ji and Xia family case.
"Tell me, Old Man Xia is so stubborn in believing that the Ji family ruined his family's feng shui and snatched his family's fortune. Is this matter credible? I see you are not busy either, why not go with me to take a look, and let me open my eyes. You also know that I hide in the capital all day, don't mix in the martial arts world, and have little knowledge. You are the big brother, help your little brother gain some knowledge."
Chen Guanlou rambled on, Pure Yang Zhenren endured it, and finally snorted, "The field of feng shui is naturally true. As for the case you mentioned, I have to see it myself to know."
"That's fine, let's go now. I'll take you, it'll be very fast."
Chen Guanlou was about to make a move, to carry him by the collar.
Pure Yang Zhenren hurriedly stopped him, "No rush, feng shui can be looked at anytime, drink tea first. Are you busy lately?"
"Busy! Busy to the point where my feet don't touch the ground. A while ago, I heard people say that Yuquan Palace has a kind of pill called the Five Elements Pill, which is very powerful. Can you let me open my eyes, and I'll buy a few to take back to taste something fresh."
Chen Guanlou didn't say he was buying it for someone else.
Pure Yang old priest has many tricks up his sleeve; if he says too much, the old priest might just say he doesn't have any, and then the sky would truly fall.
Pure Yang Zhenren was half-believing, "You need to take pills?"
"Why wouldn't I need to?" Chen Guanlou asked back.
Pure Yang Zhenren: Heh heh!
Martial artists all need to take pills. However, Chen Guanlou is the only martial artist he has ever seen who doesn't take pills. Very strange! And he doesn't even have martial meridians.
Of course, everyone has secrets, especially martial artists!
He had no intention of exploring the secrets on the other party. He just suspected that the little thief surnamed Chen was helping someone else carry goods again, acting as a middleman.
"Who are you helping this time?"
"What helping who. Can't I take them myself?" Chen Guanlou looked righteous, which made Pure Yang Zhenren laugh in anger.
"You take them yourself! Do you think I would believe that? Although I can't see your cultivation level, just by looking at your complexion, I know you never take pills, and you don't have symptoms of taking medicine. You do use medicinal baths quite often, though."
"Oh my, old priest, you are amazing, you really have some skills, you can even see this." Chen Guanlou felt deeply impressed; the old priest really has true skills!
Unlike the bald donkeys, who only know how to call themselves 'this poor monk' and then swindle believers into donating incense money. They don't even have a souvenir.
