Chapter 1503

"Old Sun, you're done for! You actually said that the present day is not a golden age!"

Chen Guanlou teased the other party with a cheeky face.

Sun Daojing gritted his teeth. "You are not allowed to tell anyone."

"My mouth is very tight; you can rest assured. In this way, you officials all know what the current situation is like. But there isn't a single word of truth in your mouths, coaxing the Emperor every day like coaxing a grandson—is it interesting?"

Sun Daojing wanted to curse, but couldn't say it.

Coaxing the Emperor and coaxing a grandson indeed have the same effect.

He waved his hand irritably. "You have no proper form! Stop talking nonsense! Is His Majesty someone you can arrange at will? Qiu Gui's family, those little brats—remind the female prisoners over there not to let them be killed. This case must be executed according to the law. Use this to deter certain petty people! Remember, hide it well; don't let anyone investigate you."

"Rest assured, except for the four brothers from the Six Sects, everyone else's mouths are tight."

"Wrong. Without this old man's order, they wouldn't dare to betray you. The people you found before are the most fatal. I won't ask you where you found them, but silence them quickly. If necessary, just kill them!"

Sun Daojing was also a ruthless person.

Chen Guanlou could only say, "I have my own judgment!"

He and Eunuch Wang Hai were in a cooperative relationship; how could he kill people at will?

Eunuch Wang Hai was in the imperial palace and knew best how to seek advantages and avoid harm, and also understood the importance of silencing people.

If the Emperor investigated him, he certainly didn't have good intentions. This meant he certainly didn't have good intentions for Eunuch Wang Hai, who took the order to investigate. With Eunuch Wang Hai's shrewdness, he would have to be crazy to let the news leak.

However, trust is trust, but he still had to give a heads-up.

Eunuch Wang Hai was well-informed; before Chen Guanlou could find him, he found Chen Guanlou first.

As soon as the two met, they started to reconcile accounts.

"Is there no problem on your side?"

Chen Guanlou said affirmatively, "There is definitely no problem on my side. But on your side, are your people reliable? Investigating the Dou family certainly can't be hidden."

"I have already sent them out; they are not allowed to return to the capital for a year to avoid this storm." Eunuch Wang Hai took precautions.

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied and hugged the other party's shoulder. "Let's go, let's go drink flower wine."

Eunuch Wang raised his eyebrows slightly. "I thought you were going to kill someone."

"Kill whom? I'm not a villain who burns bridges after crossing them." Chen Guanlou firmly denied it; he was a very good citizen.

Eunuch Wang smiled half-heartedly. "I really didn't expect that the man surnamed Liu's operation would cause such a big stir. If I had known his desire for fame and profit was so strong, I shouldn't have looked for him in the first place. But at least he poked the matter open, and the little girl of the Dou family can be considered to have gotten her wish. Warden Chen, when will this humble one drink your wedding wine?"

"What wedding wine?" Chen Guanlou looked confused. "Are you talking about Miss Dou? You really have an imagination. I don't even marry the daughter of a Prince; how could I marry a little girl? You underestimate me too much. Is it that I only have a sense of justice when I'm coveting beauty? Can't I just have a simple sense of justice?"

"You're really not marrying?" Eunuch Wang seemed very surprised.

"Why would I marry her? A little girl—marry her home to coax her? I'd have to be crazy to marry. Is my life not good enough now, or are the girls in the brothel not changing fast enough?"

"You really are..." Eunuch Wang didn't know what to say for a moment. He was always unexpected, and his thoughts were always different from ordinary people. What the masses pursued was trash to Chen Guanlou, not worth mentioning.

He wiped his face. "Fine! Let's assume it's your sense of justice exploding. Are you sure the little girl of the Dou family can keep her mouth shut?"

"Not quite sure! But I will find a way to make her shut her mouth."

For example, poisoning!

Medical Official Mu has so many poisons in his hands; it wouldn't be excessive to let the little girl lose her voice for a period of time. This is also a means of protection.

On the surface, the Ministry of Justice is responsible for investigating this case.

God knows if Emperor Emperor Jian Shi will let the Brocade Uniform Guard intervene in the investigation in secret.

One has to guard against it!

Eunuch Wang felt it made sense. "Poisoning is a good idea; if it's inconvenient for you, why don't this humble one do it myself."

Chen Guanlou shook his head repeatedly; he didn't dare let Eunuch Wang do the poisoning.

He was worried that the other party would be heavy-handed and directly block the little girl Dou Shu.

"I will handle this matter personally; I won't trouble Brother Wang to do it for me."

Eunuch Wang chuckled. "Are you worried that this humble one will poison her to death?"

"Would you?" Chen Guanlou didn't deny it, but asked instead.

Wang Hai pondered for a while. "According to my style of doing things, only dead people can keep secrets. Brother Chen, don't be soft-hearted!"

"The Emperor ordered to protect Dou Shu's life; are you sure you want to go against it? Eunuch Wang, you are a loyal subject of the royal family; how can you betray His Majesty! You are disloyal. Once disloyal, never used for life. And it's easy to be seen through. Not appropriate, not appropriate! For Brother Wang's safety, you should just pretend you know nothing about this matter."

Chen Guanlou firmly forbade Wang Hai from intervening.

Wang Hai felt very regretful; he had all the skills but no place to use them.

Chen Guanlou sneered coldly; he had to dispel Wang Hai's idea of killing people and would never allow the other party to act recklessly.

The two spent the night in the brothel; Wang Hai was a bit irritable and heavy-handed, and was complained about.

Chen Guanlou decisively took Eunuch Wang out of the brothel. "What kind of ability is it to be heavy-handed with a woman? If you have anger, vent it on your eunuch colleagues; don't let me look down on you."

Bullying the weak, coward!

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, dog thing!

He was very dissatisfied now.

How sensitive was Eunuch Wang. "I just didn't pay attention to the measure for a moment and was a little heavy-handed; it wasn't intentional."

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly. "Whether it was intentional or unintentional, you know best in your own heart. Brother Wang, if you have inner demons, you must find a way to resolve them. If someone you don't like gives you anger, find a way to retaliate. Don't vent your anger on women whenever things don't go your way; what kind of ability is that? You and I are both Ninth Rank; at least we are respected warriors—can you have some character? Don't be a rotten person; I never make friends with rotten people."

Wang Hai felt slightly unhappy and slightly unconvinced.

He gritted his teeth. "I am not a rotten person. The real Ninth Rank rotten person is the warrior at Prince Zhao's mansion. Every time he has inner demons, he takes pleasure in abusing maids! There are at least dozens of women who died at his hands. Not only women, but also valets and book boys.

I also heard of a matter: there was a child of a relative in their mansion, a scholar, who was invited to the Prince's mansion as a guest, only to die in the Prince's mansion. It was highly likely that rotten person who did it.

I just forgot the measure when I was heavy-handed; compared to that rotten person, I am much better. Instead of blaming me, why don't you go kill that Ninth Rank warrior at Prince Zhao's mansion."

Chen Guanlou looked serious. "How come I haven't heard of it? The Heavenly Prison's news is considered well-informed; Prince Zhao's mansion has such a person, but I have never heard of it."

Wang Hai sneered and mocked, "Family ugliness should not be made public. Prince Zhao's mansion finally managed to win over a Ninth Rank warrior as a guest; such a shocking thing naturally has to be hidden. If you don't believe it, go to the human trafficker market and ask around—whenever Prince Zhao's mansion wants to buy people, which time isn't it chaotic and scary to death!"

"I will personally inquire about this matter!" Chen Guanlou promised.
