Chapter 1353: Life and Death Are Entirely in His Single Thought
"Does Chen Meng'an need care?"
Chen Guanlou took the initiative to ask about this matter. Regardless of whether he is willing in his heart, the surface work must be done well. If he doesn't give face to the second branch of the Marquis Prefecture, he must at least give face to the first branch.
"Try to take care of it! You can't really let people die. In the end, whether he dies or not is not important, but the stance of the Marquis Prefecture cannot fall. Once a person dies, outsiders will inevitably be suspicious, thinking that the Marquis Prefecture is not good and can't even protect a person. Its subsequent influence, if someone with a heart makes an article, is the momentum of destroying the withered and decaying."
When encountering things, you have to consider the worst direction and strive for the best result.
Chen Meng'an living is more beneficial to the Marquis Prefecture than dying.
Avoid infighting, avoid external backstabbing.
Chen Guanlou nodded knowingly, "Fine, I know. I will protect him. On the Ministry of Justice side, you put more heart into it and strive to close the case early."
"You can talk to Minister Sun; why don't you come forward?" Chen Guanqiang tested.
Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's not that I can't come forward. But I can't break the rules."
His rule is to take money and do things, fair and honest.
Chen Guanqiang laughed along, "I will tell the Young Marquis clearly."
"Actually, the Young Marquis can directly trade with Minister Sun; Minister Sun is still very easy to talk to. In this way, a sum of money is saved."
"No, this money cannot be saved." Chen Guanqiang said solemnly, "Only after spending money is there a reason to speak."
Chen Guanlou knew the song and understood the meaning, "The Young Marquis wants to take the opportunity to rectify the second branch?" It is best to take the opportunity to separate the family and drive the second branch out.
It is clear that Marquis Pingjiang will not return to the capital. Whether he is a loyal subject or a traitor, he will not return to the capital. Returning to the capital means death is imminent.
There are two Grandmasters in the palace, plus that guy from Jixia Academy who successfully popped pills into the Grandmaster realm, there are three Grandmasters. Killing one person is as easy as turning over a palm.
The second branch, on the other hand, is biting hard, insisting on waiting for Marquis Pingjiang to return to the capital before separating the family.
This time, the grandson of the second branch caused a big disaster, implicating the Marquis Prefecture and Marquis Pingjiang. It is a good opportunity to take advantage of this to force the second branch to separate the family.
Shaking off the burden of the second branch, the Marquis Prefecture can travel lightly.
Chen Guanqiang chuckled, "You know it! Chen Meng'an's case, under normal circumstances, with witnesses and material evidence, life for life, it must be sentenced to death. The Marquis Prefecture coming forward to protect him naturally requires great effort and a large amount of money. Instead of just relying on the face of the Marquis Prefecture to protect people."
Face is valuable if you say it is valuable, and cheap if you say it is cheap. In the mouth of the second branch, it definitely belongs to cheap. They want to wipe out the favor in three or two sentences.
The first branch is definitely not happy.
Then spend money! Anyway, the Marquis Prefecture is not short of that little money.
Money is something that can be specifically measured; how much is spent is clear at a glance. The second branch has no reason to wipe out this money in three or two sentences.
Chen Guanlou laughed along; he could also earn a sum of money from this. Not a loss!
The two ate and drank, chatted to their heart's content, danced and sang. Very happy.
Happy until midnight before dispersing.
Walking and walking, he walked to Scholar Du's house. The wind blew, and he suddenly came back to his senses; Scholar Du was gone. He was not familiar with Du's eldest son; they were not on the same path and couldn't talk together.
Forget it!
The person is gone, cannot be chased!
Returning home, blowing the wind, and with the strength of the wine, he directly entered the state of sudden enlightenment. Looking from afar, he seemed to be asleep.
Wei Wubing stood on a high place, coldly staring at Chen Guanlou sleeping in the small courtyard. Eunuch Wang Hai lowered his head, accompanying him to the side.
"You say he is asleep or asleep?"
"The small one doesn't know!" Wang Hai answered honestly.
"The same cultivation method, he is advancing rapidly, without any stagnation, and I have never seen him go into Qi deviation. Are you sure his cultivation is far higher than yours? You can't even walk ten moves under his hands?"
"Yes! Can't even walk ten moves."
The fact is, he couldn't even walk one move.
The gap between Ninth-Rank and Ninth-Rank is greater than the gap between humans and livestock.
Wang Hai told the truth, but didn't tell the whole truth.
It is not easy to make a living under Eunuch Wei; you must have a few more eyes.
Wei Wubing hummed, "Observed for several days, did you see any tricks when you watched him practice?"
"The small one is dull, can't see anything."
"Sure enough dull." Wei Wubing was very disgusted.
Wang Hai took the initiative to propose, "Eunuch, why not just catch the one surnamed Chen and force him to ask how he practices."
"No need! He harbors secrets, perhaps this is the reason why his cultivation is smooth. It's just that, what kind of secret, I have never been able to figure out. Even after interrogation, nothing came out. It can't be that he just relies on his natural talent to break through smoothly time and time again."
Wei Wubing himself is also a person with natural talent; during his study of martial arts, he also encountered many problems that required the guidance of famous teachers. Looking at Chen Guanlou again, from the beginning of martial arts, he has never had the guidance of a famous teacher, relying entirely on his own sudden enlightenment, and he has been able to understand the current realm, which can be called a miracle.
"You continue to watch him and contact him more. If there is any movement, remember to report it in time. If I remember correctly, he has a good relationship with the evil sect leader Zhang Daohe. Zhang Daohe has already been promoted to Grandmaster, and he should have also gained opportunities in the ancient tomb. When Zhang Daohe enters the capital, remember to notify me in time!"
"Is the Eunuch going to arrest Zhang Daohe?" Wang Hai asked boldly.
Wei Wubing smiled, didn't make a sound, and didn't deny it, turning around and returning to the palace straight away.
Wang Hai stood in place, not moving for a long time. He didn't leave until dawn.
When the sky was slightly bright, Chen Guanlou opened his eyes, looked at the direction where he was being watched, and chuckled.
"Record of Ascending to Heaven" is not so easy to practice.
He looked like he saw through everything, and after washing, he went to work as usual.
Chen Meng'an had been thrown into the Grade A prison. He suffered bitterness in the hands of the Six Shanmen and suffered some internal injuries. At this moment, he was lying on the bed board half-dead, looking resentful.
Chen Guanlou stood at the cell door, curiously looking at the other party.
"You, why did you come today!"
Chen Meng'an saw him and sat up abruptly from the bed board, immediately gasping for air. His stomach hurt to death!
He rubbed his abdomen and stood up slowly, "The bastard of the Six Shanmen actually dared to move against me. Go help me teach them a lesson."
"Are you talking to me?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a half-smile.
"Besides you, who else can it be. You are surnamed Chen; if you don't stand up for me, who do you want to stand up for?" Chen Meng'an's tone was irritable and very angry.
Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You seem to have not clearly realized your situation until now. Chen Meng'an, you are a prisoner now. Since the incident, besides the second branch, who else from the Marquis Prefecture has come to visit you? If the Young Marquis doesn't speak, who can protect you? Relying on your cowardly grandfather, or relying on your father who has been hollowed out by wine and sex?"
"Chen Guanlou..."
"Shut up! Please call me Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen! Here, you are a prisoner, and I am the Jiang Jiang Yucheng. If I let you live, even if King Yama comes, you can live and go out. If I let you die, even if the King of Heaven comes, you have to die. First rule, learn to follow the rules. Come, give this prisoner surnamed Chen a good lesson!" ===== CHAPTER 1354 =====
