Chapter 1448: Be a full ghost

~8 min read 1,572 words

The New Year was approaching.

The Ministry of Justice urgently approved a batch of death row prisoners to be sent to the execution ground before the New Year.

Du Xiuwen's name was prominently on the list.

Chen Guanlou personally sent him the last meal, with wine and meat, white flour steamed buns, rice, very sumptuous.

"Eat more, you'll be on the execution ground in a while. At least be a full ghost!"

Du Xiuwen ate very gently, chewing slowly, looking very cultivated. Who would have thought that he was born into a farming family, with too many brothers and sisters, and therefore couldn't eat his fill. If he hadn't passed the scholar exam and could receive grain from the yamen, the family would have had to sell their children.

Such a person, revolting is not too surprising.

The reason and timing of the revolt were truly astonishing. The Ministry of Justice still hasn't figured out why Du Xiuwen, who had a bright future, led the revolt? It wasn't like there was nothing to eat.

"When I was studying at the academy, because of poverty, life was tight. My classmate often led me out to eat meat for various reasons. When the natural disaster came, he even lent me grain, and I was very grateful to him in my heart.

After capturing the county seat, because of my poor restraint, I caused some losses to his family, and I am very sorry. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to say sorry to him in person. Nor did I have any property to compensate him. If he comes to the capital in the future, if Warden Chen has the opportunity to see him, please convey it for me; I am sorry to him! Please take care! Wish him a bright future and all his wishes come true!"

"Nothing else to say?" Chen Guanlou asked.

Scholar Du shook his head, "Everything I wanted to say has already been said. The only people I owe are him, and the teacher! The teacher has noble people behind him, so there's no need for me to worry. The classmate's family is just an ordinary local wealthy family, not even worthy of being called a powerful family. I hope he can be safe and healthy!"

"What's his name?"

"His surname is Mo, given name Haofeng!"

Mo Haofeng!

Chen Guanlou silently noted this name, waiting for the future.

For the last meal, Scholar Du only ate one-third before he was full. He changed into prison clothes, stepped into the prison cage, and set off for the execution ground.

Chen Quan was responsible for the escort!

Chen Guanlou paid out of his own pocket, gave Chen Quan twenty taels of silver, and instructed, "Take care of the burial, let the people who handle white affairs prepare a good coffin, and choose a good grave for burial. Leave a mark! In case someone comes to worship in the future, it will be convenient to find the grave!"

Chen Quan didn't ask anything, silently accepted the twenty taels, and said casually, "Actually, it doesn't need twenty taels. Ten taels of silver can handle it very decently."

"The extra silver, let everyone eat and drink! It's hard work in the middle of winter, must eat well."

"Thank you, my lord, on behalf of the brothers!"

"Go!"

This time, there were seven or eight prisoners in the Heavenly Prison to be beheaded.

There was an official who hadn't been pushed into the prison cage yet, and he started shouting, was forcibly pushed into the prison cage, and urinated on the spot. For a time, the prison guards were extremely disgusted.

He urinated before even leaving the Heavenly Prison gate; if he went to the execution ground, wouldn't he be shitting and urinating everywhere!

Disgusting!

Fortunately, it was the middle of winter!

If it were the middle of summer, without waiting for the execution ground, the prison guards would have given the official a beating first, to the point where even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

For a time, the prison guards were in a very bad mood, urging the prisoners to get into the prison cage. When the personnel were all present, the prison cage was locked, and they set off!

Scholar Du looked back, seemingly reluctant to leave this place, the Heavenly Prison. The biggest secret of his life was left in the Heavenly Prison. The only confidant of his life was also in the Heavenly Prison!

He saw Chen Guanlou and immediately revealed a smile.

This was the purest smile since he was locked in the Heavenly Prison.

Chen Guanlou saw it and returned a smile to the other party.

The two were separated by a distance, in the blink of an eye, one alive and one dead!

Life!

It's really f***ed up!

Scholar Du, this person, has a bit of a heavy aftertaste.

Chen Guanlou rested in a brothel for a few days before this aftertaste completely dissipated.

He returned home in a daze, and someone was already waiting for him at home.

Without his consent, ordinary people couldn't enter his home at all, unless their cultivation was higher than his.

The visitor was Zhang Daohe, the evil cult leader, most skilled at brainwashing!

As soon as Chen Guanlou saw the other party, he instantly sobered up!

"Brother Zhang, all is well!"

"Brother Chen, why did you tell the Brocade Uniform Guard our secret? What is the meaning of this?"

Zhang Daohe came here this time, clearly to hold him accountable.

Chen Guanlou signaled the other party to be calm, "When did you arrive?" He asked while boiling water to make tea. He also asked the youngest son of Sister Chunxiang next door to go out and prepare a banquet to be sent over.

He gave three taels of silver.

"Two taels of silver to prepare the wine and food, the remaining one tael is your errand fee."

Little Stone grinned happily.

Sister Chunxiang's family all remembered Chen Guanlou's kindness; her family's Dawang relied entirely on Chen Guanlou to be preserved, so he could survive. He changed his face, changed his name, went to the northwest for exile, and served in the army.

Sister Chunxiang had repeatedly ordered that the cubs in the family were not allowed to take Chen Guanlou's money; helping with errands was what they should do, how could they take an errand fee. This is returning kindness with ingratitude!

But he couldn't stop Chen Guanlou from giving, and the cubs wanted it!

Back and forth, Sister Chunxiang was kept completely in the dark.

Zhang Daohe originally had a belly full of resentment and came to hold him accountable.

As a result, the other party was personally boiling water and making tea, and preparing wine and food; for a moment, he didn't know how to vent his anger. If he vented, wouldn't it be giving face and not wanting face.

He knew very well that Chen Guanlou was born in the year of the dog, with a dog's temper.

If he was relentless, it would be the other party's turn to turn his face.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and see what kind of play the other party was putting on.

The takeout from the restaurant was delivered quickly; it was the middle of winter, but it was still hot.

It turned out that a layer was added under the food box, increasing charcoal fire to keep it warm!

The restaurant opened nearby, and the guests were either rich or powerful, ensuring that every customer's needs were met. Look, the food box even had an extra heat preservation function!

Clever idea!

Not bad, not bad!

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied! He greeted Zhang Daohe to drink and eat.

"Brother Chen, you revealed the Great Wilderness opportunity to the Brocade Uniform Guard; shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?"

Chen Guanlou laughed, "What are you in such a hurry for! You came to find me in the middle of winter, you must not have eaten well on the road. Fill your stomach first before talking."

Zhang Daohe stared at the other party suspiciously, testing, "Could it be that you haven't made up a lie yet? Haven't thought about how to fool me? Are you pondering how to trick me?"

Chen Guanlou's old face flushed; his routine was seen through, no fun.

Who is he!

He is Warden Chen, whose face is thicker than the city wall.

He coughed lightly, "Brother Zhang, your prejudice against me is too deep. I revealed the news to the Brocade Uniform Guard, is it selfish, is it for money?"

"Isn't it!"

"Not so! I am aiming for the great cause, aiming for the future, aiming for the resources in the hands of the Brocade Uniform Guard. Brother Zhang, you must admit that the resources mastered by the Brocade Uniform Guard are far superior to your sect! For example, this immortal passage, if there is the help of the Brocade Uniform Guard, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. The most and most complete information is in the imperial palace; do you admit this?"

Zhang Daohe frowned and didn't make a sound.

Silence is recognition.

"The imperial palace has two old monsters sitting in town, and you don't dare to step in easily. At this time, you need the power of the Brocade Uniform Guard."
