Chapter 1682

Company Commander Yang followed Chen Guanlou's words, first settling his family, then taking out half of his family assets to grease the wheels, most of which were sent to Yang Deguang's mansion.

Having received such a large sum of money, Yang Deguang took the time to meet Company Commander Yang once.

"What are you doing? Giving me gifts for no reason, what kind of person do you take me for!" Yang Deguang scolded. Although he wanted the money, he was even more afraid that Company Commander Yang would use this opportunity to set him up.

In the few years he had been serving in the Brocade Uniform Guard, the first thing he learned was not to trust any Brocade Uniform Guard wholeheartedly.

A man's mouth is a lying ghost. This saying was most appropriate for the Brocade Uniform Guard.

From the lowest-ranking soldiers to the Thousand-Household Commanders, there wasn't a single word of truth in their mouths; out of ten sentences, probably seven or eight were half-true and half-false, and the rest were all false. What was true and what was false had to be discerned by oneself.

This was the hardest part!

A Commander of the Brocade Uniform Guard didn't need to have great case-solving abilities, but he must have top-tier insight into human nature. Only then could he save his life!

"Please, my lord, save my life!" Company Commander Yang bowed deeply, "The court is in an uproar, and this time everyone in the Imperial Prison will surely die. But, my lord, you have the Emperor's strong protection, so you will surely turn bad luck into good. I only hope that my lord can look at my years of diligent work and protect my family from being implicated."

Yang Deguang's heart jumped wildly, "How can you be so sure that the Emperor will strongly protect me?"

"Is my lord testing me? What is the court in an uproar for? It is nothing more than forcing the Emperor to deal with the Brocade Uniform Guard, and my lord is the first in line. Since the dispute has lasted so long without a result, it is obvious that the Emperor refuses to obey the court officials, and the Emperor will surely protect my lord. Otherwise, what face would the Emperor have? The Emperor will still need the Brocade Uniform Guard to serve in the future; only by protecting my lord can he protect the Brocade Uniform Guard and keep the hearts of the people from scattering. But in order to give the court officials an explanation, everyone in the Imperial Prison is afraid they are finished this time."

When Company Commander Yang said this, he started crying again.

He had thought the Imperial Prison was safe and would not be implicated in disasters. He never expected that an epidemic would break everything.

He was bitter!

His heart was as bitter as daylily, so bitter!

Yang Deguang was so excited at this moment that his cheeks flushed red.

He didn't care about anything else, but the fact that the Emperor would strongly protect him made his heart race. He thought about it carefully, and Company Commander Yang's analysis made sense.

For such a long time, the court had been arguing, but there had been no conclusion, obviously because the Emperor refused to kill him.

Instantly, he threw away his nervousness and anxiety, feeling relieved and light all over.

His mood was as bright as the warm spring of March, so warm that it made one's heart bloom, and he couldn't wait to hug his concubine and take a few bites.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his mood.

As a superior, he could not lose his composure in front of his subordinates.

He coughed lightly, "Get up quickly! What are you kneeling for? I already know your intentions. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect all the brothers. If I am unable to do so, I will also try my best to protect everyone's family."

Company Commander Yang looked grateful, wiping his tears while speaking, as if it were a last will and testament.

Yang Deguang listened patiently, considering that the other party was about to die and had given him a hint.

Finally, he even kept Company Commander Yang for a simple meal before sending him away.

As expected, after the court officials made a scene until the end, Emperor Yuanding loosened his stance a little, agreeing to kill the prison guard manager of the Imperial Prison as an offering to Heaven. Yang Deguang continued to serve as the Commander of the Brocade Uniform Guard, making up for his faults with meritorious service and working hard.

On the day of the killing, the sky over the Imperial Prison was red.

The Vice Commander of the Brocade Uniform Guard personally led people to the Imperial Prison to execute the imperial order!

The Heavenly Prison next door listened to the screams coming from the Imperial Prison, and feeling a sense of shared grief, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

The people in the Imperial Prison were all dead, and they didn't even deserve to be brought to court for trial, nor did they deserve to be beheaded at the execution ground.

Just like the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison, it was solved directly in the Heavenly Prison.

It was too cruel and heartless.

For a time, the gambling atmosphere in the Heavenly Prison was even stronger than before, and even those who didn't usually gamble joined in. There was a state of "enjoying life while we can."

One never knew whether tomorrow or an accident would come first.

It was better to enjoy it while still alive and while having money in hand.

They, this group of lowly prison guards, didn't even have the qualifications to be beheaded at the execution ground, so why worry about so much.

Chen Quan was a little worried and asked Chen Guanlou if he should manage it?

"Let them be! The people in the Imperial Prison next door are all dead; feeling a sense of shared grief, they need to vent. You keep an eye on them and don't let them fight over gambling."

Chen Guanlou was very straightforward.

There were only two ways for prison guards to vent their emotions: one was to torture prisoners, and the other was to gamble.

Prisoners were gods of wealth, and Chen Guanlou did not allow them to torture them.

Now, only gambling was left.

Chen Quan looked at the Imperial Prison next door and sighed, "The Brocade Uniform Guard is even more vicious when they take action against their own people!"

This was the most uncomfortable part for people.

The Brocade Uniform Guard came to the door and slashed at anyone they saw. They completely ignored the friendship of former colleagues. There was no small talk, no last words, more like killing machines.

"Because they are afraid! Afraid that one day in the future, these knives will fall on their own heads. So, they are even more ruthless when killing their own people."

"How could it come to this!"

"Imperial orders are hard to disobey! In this day and age, money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat! If you don't want to leave the Brocade Uniform Guard, you have to be a beast." Chen Guanlou's expression was cold.

"Will the Heavenly Prison be like this?" Chen Quan was a little scared.

Chen Guanlou nodded, then shook his head, "It's not like this hasn't happened in the Heavenly Prison before. But don't worry, as long as I am here for one day, no one will dare to kill randomly. Even if we die, I will let everyone go with dignity, dying upright and honestly."

Instead of being hacked to death by others like chickens, ducks, and fish.

The atmosphere in the Heavenly Prison remained depressed, and the trend of gambling continued to rise.

Seeing that the gambling was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Guanlou made a prompt decision and suppressed this unhealthy trend with an iron fist.

He didn't ban gambling, but he limited the gambling amount and even limited the number of people gambling.

Not convinced?

Hold it in!

The prison guards were used to being managed; once the order was given, everyone obeyed obediently, and no one clamored or complained. Perhaps some complained, but they only dared to complain in their hearts.

The empty prison cells did not match the tall and handsome Heavenly Prison.

Before the Ministry of Justice could stand up, Emperor Yuanding stood up first, finally willing to give the Hou Fu some real benefits.

Three hereditary Thousand-Household Commanders, and one hereditary Company Commander.

Chen Guanfu took the three hereditary Thousand-Household Commander quotas and gave them to his three sons, including Chen Mengzhao. Having an official status made it easier to handle things. With a little maneuvering, he could legitimately lead hundreds of troops.

For the Hou Fu, this was the proper reward.

Chen Guanfu actually left one hereditary Company Commander position for Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou:...

Could not understand.

He ran to the Hou Fu, "Why did you give me the Company Commander position? I am a Ninth-Rank warrior and a Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng; there is no need to leave the Company Commander position for me."

"No, you need it!" Chen Guanfu said solemnly, "You need a proper official status!"

"I don't need it! I will stay in the capital and take root in the Heavenly Prison. I have the status of a Jiang Jiang Yucheng; there is no need to add a Company Commander status."

Company Commander Chen didn't sound much better than Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen.
