Chapter 1332

"The official found out that during the time the Wu family's female members were imprisoned, a child died."

Xiao Jincheng continued to probe.

Chen Guanlou sneered. "Official Xiao, instead of wasting your effort here, you should find a way to catch that Zhang Kang and torture him severely. All your questions will be answered."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen seems very confident!"

"When am I not confident?" Chen Guanlou smiled without smiling. "I advise you to think less about things that don't matter."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen pities the poor and weak, which I admire very much. However, if you save someone who shouldn't be saved, can you bear the consequences?"

"Official Xiao is ruthless, which I also admire very much. If you kill someone who shouldn't be killed, can you bear the consequences?" Chen Guanlou returned the same words to the other party.

Xiao Jincheng narrowed his eyes. "Do you want to protect him?"

"Protect who?" Chen Guanlou looked blank. "Official Xiao, you are truly boring. Speaking in a veiled way, it is destined that we are not on the same path."

Xiao Jincheng snorted coldly. "If Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen doesn't admit it, so be it. I hope you don't regret it."

"Walk slowly, won't see you off!"

This time he really left!

Chen Guanlou drank hot tea and hummed a little tune.

He wasn't worried about Zhang Kang's (Zhang Yikang) safety at all; if he died, he died. When he expelled him and severed the master-disciple relationship, he had made things clear. Whether he lived or died, he would bear it himself.

In this life, he wouldn't acknowledge this disciple, and the other party shouldn't think about clinging to him. Whether it was wealth or defeat, it had nothing to do with him, Chen Guanlou.

Medical Official Mu learned of Xiao Jincheng's true intention and was extremely anxious.

Back then, the medicine for Zhang Kang's fake death was provided by him. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard really wanted to investigate, they would soon find him.

"Official, are you really not going to care about this matter?" Medical Official Mu was both afraid and anxious.

"Old Mu, put your heart at ease. As long as I am here, I will keep you and the Mu family safe. As for Xiao Jincheng, I'll give him ten guts, and he still wouldn't dare to touch you. Don't look at him like a cold-faced god of death; he actually knows very well who can be touched and who cannot. Touching you is equivalent to provoking me. He knows very well that I won't play officialdom tricks with him; I will kill him directly. He cherishes his life and doesn't dare to gamble!"

Chen Guanlou had long seen through Xiao Jincheng. Working so hard to be the Emperor's dog, what for? Nothing more than seeking wealth and power, and a good future for his descendants.

The premise of all this is that he must be alive!

If he dies, he has nothing.

Medical Official Mu was half-believing. "Does Official Xiao really fear death?"

Chen Guanlou laughed. "He fears death more than anyone else. Don't look at him like a tough guy; he actually cherishes his life very much. How could an ambitious person easily go to his death? This matter of Zhang Kang has no witnesses or physical evidence, all relying on one mouth. One can point out that he is Wu Dashou's grandson, and of course, one can also say he just looks like Wu Dashou. There are so many similar people in the world; could it be that everyone has a blood relationship? The Embroidered Uniform Guard handling cases also has to pay attention to evidence."

Medical Official Mu's heart, which was hanging, slowly landed.

"Does this matter really not need to be worried about? In case things don't go well with Zhang Kang and he implicates the official..."

"He wouldn't dare!" Chen Guanlou's face sank. "Back then, I had already made it clear to him: if he dares to implicate me, I will kill him directly."

Master-disciple relationship counts for nothing!

He provided the other party with rebellion theory, provided money, taught knowledge and martial arts, provided various development ideas... a biological son would be about the same. He was worthy of the other party, but the other party owed him a lot.

If the other party dared to bite him back, he would definitely die! Even to the ends of the earth, he would kill the other party.

Medical Official Mu heard this and finally felt relieved.

Patting his chest, he had been scared to death before.

"You old man, you are just timid." No other problems.

Medical Official Mu sighed. "I don't want to be either. But I have seen too many glorious families perish in an instant. It is truly too scary. So many heads... blood flowing like a river. One has to be timid!"

Afterwards, Chen Guanlou had been pondering why the Embroidered Uniform Guard would focus solely on Zhang Kang among the eighteen rebel groups in the south. Zhang Kang was not the strongest, nor the one who occupied the most territory, and he didn't kill many officials. He had been implementing his education, developing low-key, planning slowly, and taking a steady path.

Yet he attracted the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Could it be that the grown-up Zhang Kang really looks like the Wu Prime Minister Wu Dashou from back then?

You must know, Wu Dashou was the father-in-law of the Prince of Jin, and Zhang Kang and the Prince of Jin's mansion had a cousin relationship.

The Prince of Jin was already dead, and the Prince of Jin's mansion had also failed, almost all dead. It is said that there were only a few kittens left, and a child who had been raised to be useless, inheriting the Prince of Jin's bloodline.

Emperor Jian Shi's methods for dealing with his brothers were ruthless enough!

After thinking about it, he went to find Sun Daoning to ask how powerful the rebels in the south were.

Sun Daoning was stumped.

"That group of rebels in the south was imposing at first. But the imperial court's officers and soldiers are not vegetarians. It's only been a few years since they finished fighting the Prince of Chu, and the officers and soldiers in the south are at their strongest. With an order from the imperial court, the army came out in full force, and some of those rebels have already shrunk back. A while ago, I heard that several rebel leaders were caught and executed on the spot."

"So weak?" Compared to the rebels in the northwest, they were not worth mentioning, and their combat power was garbage.

"It's just that weak! Because of the terrain in the south, it has advantages and disadvantages for the imperial court's officers and soldiers. Don't look at the rebels hiding in the mountains; the officers and soldiers have no way. Conversely, the officers and soldiers can also blockade the mountains and forests, set fire to the mountains, and make those rebels have no food to eat."

Setting fire to the mountains, ruthless enough.

The rebels lacked sufficient food and supplies; once they hid in the mountains, one could imagine how bitter their days were. If they encountered the officers and soldiers setting fire to the mountains, without accident, the result could only be a crushing defeat and kneeling to surrender.

"Which leaders were caught?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Sun Daoning reported several names, not Zhang Kang.

"I heard there is a rebel Zhang Kang; what is the situation with this person?"

"This rebel surnamed Zhang, I heard he is not old, but he fights with rules. He doesn't fight randomly. Looking at his marching route and what he did after occupying the government office, he is a person who does things with a plan. If this thief is not curbed now, I am afraid it will be difficult to control in the future."

"So powerful?"

"That group of so-called eighteen rebel groups in the south is just a mob. The only ones who are truly capable are probably Zhang Kang and two other groups. Why are you suddenly concerned about this person?" Sun Daoning asked back.

Chen Guanlou didn't hide it and chose to speak the truth; he also wanted Sun Daoning to stand up for him.

"That Xiao Jincheng ran to the Heavenly Prison today to probe me. Saying something about Zhang Kang being somewhat similar to the late Wu Dashou. Like his brain had water in it. I think he clearly wants to frame the Ministry of Justice. Maybe at some point, he will run to the Emperor and give you eye drops."

Chen Guanlou complained without any burden.

Sun Daoning was indeed concerned. "Really? This person is truly shameless! In order to fight for power and profit, he uses every means possible. He can even implicate the Ministry of Justice in this kind of thing. Wait, that Zhang Kang wouldn't really have a relationship with Wu Dashou, would he? Tell me honestly, did you do any small actions in private?"

Sun Daoning was inspired and wasn't fooled.
