Chapter 136: Kill If You Can, Endure If You Can't

The clue was completely broken.

Chen Guanlou was very frustrated. He discussed with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan, specifically avoiding Prison Clerk Fan.

"Now the clue is completely broken, with our ability, we can't continue to investigate. What should we do?"

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan was worried to death, his forehead wrinkled enough to pinch a mosquito to death.

Chen Guanlou suggested telling the Second Young Master the whole story.

This move was very risky.

He was gambling!

If the Second Young Master were just a noble son or an official's child, he would never gamble like this.

The Second Young Master is an Imperial Grandson, and Imperial Grandsons and officials are ultimately different, their thinking patterns, the positions they are in, and the interests they seek are all different.

According to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan's idea, take Prison Clerk Fan to take the blame and fool it. This trick, if changed to an official, is estimated to be acquiesced. Because they will also do this, deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates is the second rule of officialdom. But the Second Young Master...

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan couldn't make up his mind, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Whether it works or not, we have to try. For an Imperial Grandson, I'm afraid they hate deception more than handling things poorly. Just like the Marquis Mansion, serving in the mansion, the most important thing is loyalty. I think the Prince Mansion should be the same."

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan held the edge of the table, struggling and hesitating, "How much do you know about the Second Young Master?"

"I don't know much. However, he must be willing to listen to the truth, rather than fooling him with an explanation."

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan gritted his teeth, seemingly finally made up his mind, "Okay, just follow your method. You go see the Second Young Master, tell him the whole story, and pray for his forgiveness."

Chen Guanlou was stunned, and asked: "Doesn't the master want to see the Second Young Master?"

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan shook his head, "This official won't go. Little Chen, everyone's life is handed over to you, you must try your best to persuade the Second Young Master to let go of the Heavenly Prison and let go of us. No matter who poisoned, what calculations are behind it, the Heavenly Prison is implicated. Everyone in the Heavenly Prison cherishes their lives, and no one dares to do such a thing as exterminating nine clans."

Chen Guanlou was speechless, busy here and there, this matter still fell on him. Being an official is good, moving his mouth, the people below have to run their legs. Doing well is what should be, not doing well is not attentive, not trying hard, not capable, and dying is deserved.

Concerned about his own life, Chen Guanlou had to take this errand and go to the Heavenly Prison with twelve points of spirit.

For this reason, he specifically wore a uniform that hadn't been washed for several days, carrying a sour smell, to meet the Second Young Master. To tell the other party: Look, we prison guards have done our best, worked overtime for several days, and didn't have time to go home to change. Don't doubt the determination of the Heavenly Prison to find out the truth. It's just that the ability is limited, please spare the lives of everyone in the Heavenly Prison.

He bowed and stood in front of the Second Young Master, waiting for the favor or abandonment of fate.

The Second Young Master's body had recovered well, the medical officer's detox pill was very useful, and the follow-up treatment also took out his lifelong learning, his medical skills were no less than the imperial physicians of the Taiyi Academy, just bad luck and fell to serve in the Heavenly Prison.

The Second Young Master walked back and forth in the cell, "According to what you said, the swordsman was bought, and took another share of money to exterminate the whole family of the wine shop."

"Exactly."

The Second Young Master sneered, mocking: "This is the first time I know that I am so missed."

Chen Guanlou was silent.

Listening to this tone, the Second Young Master had a suspected target, and even possibly mastered concrete evidence. The other party's identity is special, can't say, and dare not say.

Even if he said it, Chen Guanlou didn't dare to listen.

The truth that knowing less is safer, he has always kept in mind.

"Do you want to continue investigating?" Chen Guanlou asked tentatively.

The Second Young Master fell silent, not speaking for a long time. Chen Guanlou could only accompany him, pretending to be an invisible person.

"What do you think I should do?"

The Second Young Master asked suddenly.

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while, guessing the other party's thoughts, and tried to say: "By trade-offs of interests, or by acting according to one's heart."

It's nothing more than these two ways.

There is a third way, neither trade-off nor acting, pretending that nothing happened. This obviously does not meet the Second Young Master's status and interests, Chen Guanlou didn't say it. Saying it out, instead, it annoys people and has a suspicion of selfishness.

Weighing, weighing, is the gain and loss, what is thought and what is needed. Not a ignorant and fearless boy in the market, in the royal family, the Second Young Master has long developed a style of thinking about everything.

He is weighing!

"If you were in my position, what would you do?" The Second Young Master looked at Chen Guanlou with a smile, looking like just a casual question.

Chen Guanlou couldn't perfunctory, the lives of everyone in the Heavenly Prison were tied to the Second Young Master's thoughts, he had to be twelve points of spirit, seriously and seriously answer this question.

He opened his mouth and said: "Kill if you can, settle accounts after autumn if you can't."

His answer was concise and to the point, sounding murderous, but actually full of wisdom of weighing pros and cons.

"Hahaha..." The Second Young Master laughed loudly, looking very satisfied with his answer, "What a kill if you can, what a settle accounts after autumn. Chen Tou seems to have the ability to simplify complexity, no matter how complicated things are, it's just one sentence when it comes to you. Not bad, not bad. Concise and to the point, straight to the core. However, I can't kill, and I don't know if I have a chance to settle accounts after autumn, what should I do?"

Chen Guanlou seemed to be riding a roller coaster, up and down, and his mood fluctuated.

He looked at the Second Young Master and said solemnly: "Only endure!"

The Second Young Master's expression sank instantly, looking very gloomy, and also carrying a murderous spirit.

"Endure? Do you know that there is a knife on the word endure, others want my life, but I can only endure? Chen Tou, you are not sincere!"

"Those who plan big things need to endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Now it seems there is no chance, who dares to say that there is no chance in three or five years. Whoever can laugh to the end is the big winner. What does it matter to let go of temporary wins and losses."

Second Young Master:...

He looked at Chen Guanlou in surprise. At this moment, he found that this little prison guard, not old, but the words he said were full of life wisdom, making people look at him with new eyes.

"I don't know what you have experienced to be able to say such profound words." ===== CHAPTER 137 =====

He looked at the Second Young Master and said solemnly, "Only forbearance!"

The Second Young Master's expression sank instantly, appearing very gloomy and revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"Forbearance? Do you know that there is a knife above the word 'forbearance'? Others want this young master's life, yet I can only forbear? Chen Tou, you are not being sincere!"

"Those who plan for great things must be able to endure what ordinary people cannot. It may seem like there is no opportunity now, but who dares to say there won't be one in three or five years? Whoever can laugh last is the real winner. What is the harm in yielding for a moment's gain or loss?"

Second Young Master:...

He looked at Chen Guanlou with great surprise. At this moment, he discovered that this little prison guard before him, though not old, spoke with such profound worldly wisdom that it commanded respect.

"I truly don't know what you have experienced to be able to speak such profound words."
