Chapter 1277: A Quick and Painless Death

After seeing his children, Shi Youcai waited for death with peace of mind.

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied with his state. If the other party went back on his word, he would definitely send the two children back to the brothel. To be a person, one must have integrity!

Shi Youcai looked at Chen Guanlou with eager eyes; he had one last request.

"Official, can you help me arrange the funeral, erect a tombstone, no need to write my name. I just hope that when the children grow up, if they want to pay respects, they can find the place."

"After a person dies, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth; why are you so persistent."

Shi Youcai gave a miserable smile. "A person has to have some hope while living, otherwise they won't be able to close their eyes in death."

Chen Guanlou looked at his appearance, fine, fine, "Okay, I can satisfy you."

"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen!"

"Aren't you worried I'm lying to you."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is a person of integrity, I believe you."

"For these words, I will arrange your funeral and find you a top-class tomb to be buried."

Shi Youcai cried with joy and knelt down to kowtow.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, signaling the other party not to have such heavy thoughts, eat and drink well during the last time, and go on the road with peace of mind when the time comes.

On Dawang's side, before leaving the capital for exile, he wanted to see his family. Meeting in the Heavenly Prison wasn't convenient, and there were too many eyes.

Chen Guanlou decisively decided to drag Dawang home in the middle of the night and throw him to Sister-in-law Chunxiang, telling the other party, "Before dawn, I want to bring the person back to the Heavenly Prison. You guys hurry up."

"Thank you, Brother Lou!" Sister-in-law Chunxiang wiped her tears and took out a few meat pies, "Pies fried tonight, with bacon and sausage inside, chopped into pieces, take them back to eat."

Chen Guanlou didn't stand on ceremony and took the pies home to sleep.

Crying sounds came from next door, one after another, crying for a long time, and finally it became quiet.

In the middle of the night, next door lit a fire to prepare a table of wine and dishes, chattering endlessly. The whole family talked until dawn.

When the time came, Chen Guanlou took Dawang back to the Heavenly Prison.

"Your appearance has changed, did your family say anything?" Sending the person back to the cell, he asked curiously.

Dawang touched his face; he had already adapted to this face that was true and false.

"My mother said, she didn't recognize me at first glance. She only confirmed it was me when I spoke. The family said, this face is very realistic. Even in broad daylight, one can't distinguish true from false. My mother also asked me to thank you."

"Did you say anything about changing your name?"

"I said it! My mother didn't say anything, but my father had some opinions. But he also knew that the situation forced him, so he didn't say any idle words. Brother Lou, don't blame my father; he's just like that, an old stubborn person who doesn't know how to adapt."

Chen Guanlou smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter, just make it clear. After that side is beheaded, you can leave the capital. After arriving in the Northwest, work hard, don't be afraid of hardship or fatigue, and learn more skills. The skills you learn are your capital for settling down in the future."

"I listen to you, I will definitely learn well."

"If you can go to the battlefield to fight, then fight; if you really can't eat this bowl of rice as a soldier, don't force it. There are so many jobs, there is always a road suitable for you."

"I'm not picky! I'll do whatever the Marquis arranges for me! I've already troubled the Marquis so much, I can't add trouble to him."

Dawang felt very empty in his heart.

He lived in the back alley of the Marquis's Mansion, but he had never seen the Marquis of Pingjiang since he grew up. All he heard was from his family and from other people's mouths. The Marquis, whose status was so noble, how could he have the virtue and ability to let the Marquis worry about him.

He made up his mind that he would do whatever the Marquis told him to do, never bargain, and never disobey. He would do things well, striving to return to the capital and return home one day.

Half a month later, all the people involved in the helper case were collectively taken to the execution ground to be beheaded.

Lu Datou was specifically arranged to watch at the execution ground to confirm that Shi Youcai was beheaded. Afterward, he collected the corpse, arranged for burial, erected a tombstone, and a series of things.

Three days later, Dawang and dozens of other prisoners set off for the Northwest for exile.

The government servants had already taken care of it, asking them to take care of 'Jin Youde' on the road.

Sister-in-law Chunxiang's family wanted to send him off, but were worried about attracting attention.

Chen Guanlou made a final decision, not allowing them to send him off. The more it was the last moment, the more they couldn't let their guard down. Ninety-nine steps had been taken, and they would definitely not fail at the last step.

Until the person left the capital, Chen Guanlou returned to the Heavenly Prison.

This case was finally settled, and it could be considered perfect.

Early spring, the weather was cold and warm, still chilly.

Mu Yiguan Mu, wrapped in a heavy cotton-padded jacket, holding a small teapot, walked into the office to warm up by the fire.

"The official has finally settled a matter, congratulations!"

"Thanks to you, otherwise this plan would be a castle in the air."

Mu Yiguan Mu laughed happily, "Official, don't be polite. I am very satisfied with the year-end bonus."

Chen Guanlou laughed happily when he heard this.

The days were stable and peaceful, and in the blink of an eye, it was March, with grass growing and warblers flying. People took off their heavy winter clothes and changed into spring clothes, one by one like birds out of a cage, walking to the outskirts of the city, walking to the orchard, enjoying the beauty of spring.

A clap of thunder broke the tranquility of spring.

An imperial decree, the Embroidered Uniform Guard moved out in full force, rushed into the Anping Prince's Mansion, arrested people, and searched the house. The whole capital was shaken, people were panicked, and the thought of spring outing was completely gone. Even the capital officials were all tucking their tails to be people.

Only a group of censors jumped very happily, impe

As a result, Emperor Jian Shi harshly criticized this group of Censors during the morning court session and even demanded that the Censorate strictly investigate the problems of this group of Censors.

Prince Anping, the Emperor's cousin within the five degrees of mourning.

Usually, he kept a low profile, and even when gossiping, his name never came up.

He was very curious why the Emperor wanted to arrest him.

Soon, Chen Guanlou's curiosity was satisfied.

Prince Anping was arranged to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, not the Imperial Treasury Prison.

He specifically ran to ask Sun Daojing what kind of trickery was involved.

Sun Daojing vaguely guessed some of the inside story, but he couldn't say it clearly. "His Majesty is still very concerned about Prince Anping, so he specifically arranged for him to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

Chen Guanlou gave a chuckle. "Old Sun, do you think I believe that?"

"Whether you believe it or not is not important; what's important is to let the world believe it. The Heavenly Prison follows the rules; this is a fact known to everyone. What is wrong with arranging for Prince Anping to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?"

"Why not go to the Imperial Treasury to be imprisoned?"

"There are too many eyes and ears over at the Imperial Treasury, and there are many factions, so it's not very convenient."

"Prince Anping is being imprisoned, what exactly is the charge?"

This matter was very strange; until now, Prince Anping's charges had not been announced. It was just too bizarre. He always felt that Emperor Jian Shi was up to no good.

"As a Jiang Jiang Yucheng, just do your job well. Ask less about things in the palace." Sun Daojing was very impatient and wanted to chase Chen Guanlou away as soon as possible, deliberately being harsh.

Seeing this, Chen Guanlou began to ponder, "Could there be a problem with Prince Anping's identity?"

"Who told you that? Stop talking nonsense." Sun Daojing scolded angrily. "How can you talk nonsense about such things? People will die."
