Chapter 1687

~8 min read 1,491 words

"Does Company Commander Chen have a prejudice against me?" Li Yanmo subconsciously suspected Chen Guanlou's intentions.

"Why do you say that?" Chen Guanlou looked surprised, as if saying don't wrong me, I didn't do anything.

Li Yanmo sighed, "My sister is an Imperial Consort, and the Empress is your clan niece. Between us, to put it bluntly, we are naturally opposed."

"Does the Imperial Consort want to be Empress? Does the Imperial Consort want to fight for the Crown Prince position for her son? If not, where does the opposition come from."

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a smile, testing the other party's reaction.

Li Yanmo was shocked and quickly denied, "These words cannot be said indiscriminately! The Imperial Consort has always been respectful to the Empress and dare not have any inappropriate thoughts. Fighting for the Crown Prince position is even more nonsense. The Crown Prince position, how can it be influenced by the concubines in the harem, it is all up to the Emperor and the court officials!"

He is not a fool.

How could he be fooled.

Company Commander Chen has such a vicious mind, actually setting a trap to get his words.

If he said the wrong thing without noticing for a while, wouldn't it bring a great disaster to the Imperial Consort.

The Chen family and the Li family really cannot get along.

"Since that's the case, what do you have to worry about? I'm not that kind of petty person, how could I have a prejudice against you for no reason. You are overthinking."

Chen Guanlou smiled and comforted the other party.

He really has no prejudice against the Duke's brother-in-law, he even likes the other party, he is a sensible, generous person with good eyesight. This kind of god of wealth is rare.

Even if one day Empress Chen and Imperial Consort Li confront each other, it has nothing to do with him. The struggle between two women, the struggle between two families, has nothing to do with him, Chen Guanlou.

He is only responsible for guarding prisoners, and by the way, earning some money to spend.

Li Yanmo was half-believing, because he couldn't have no prejudice against the Chen family, and he thought the Chen family was the same.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Chen Guanlou chuckled, his expression disdainful, "The Li family is indeed wealthy. But compared to the Chen clan, it can be said to have no foundation at all. Since the founding of the Great Gan Dynasty by the Taizu, the Chen clan has established itself in the capital. Counting the time, it has been more than three hundred years. Counting from the time your Li family officially started, has it been a hundred years? The wealth of the Chen clan has never relied on women, do you understand?"

Li Yanmo half-understood, after all, the positions were different, and he couldn't grasp the essence.

"Empress Chen gave birth to the eldest son, I don't believe the Hou Fu has no thoughts." Li Yanmo whispered.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in wonder, "So your Li family can only be considered a powerful family, while the Hou Fu is a noble family. That's the difference! It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to remember that I have no prejudice against you. I am still counting on earning some pocket money from you."

Li Yanmo's mood was very complicated for a while, not knowing what to say.

Should he be grateful for the other party's frankness, or angry at the other party's frankness.

He took a deep breath, and could only hold it in if he wasn't convinced.

"In terms of foundation, the Li family is indeed not as good as the Hou Fu."

"So..." Chen Guanlou looked at the other party, waiting for the other party's next words.

"Company Commander Chen, don't scare me, okay? I am different from Xiao Changsheng, he used beauty to confuse the monarch, I am a proper court official. I am not as annoying as Xiao Changsheng."

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou burst into laughter, "Don't look down on Xiao Changsheng, he just died, not defeated. In some respects, you are really not as good as the one surnamed Xiao."

Li Yanmo was furious!

Actually comparing him with Xiao Changsheng, and saying he is not as good as the one surnamed Xiao, it's too bullying!

"How am I not as good as him?"

"He can bend and stretch, can you? He can coax the Emperor into a pout, can you? He can share worries for Imperial Consort Xiao and become a right-hand man, can you? It's good enough that you don't add trouble to Imperial Consort Li. He can even die for Imperial Consort Xiao, can you? If it weren't for Imperial Consort Xiao's chess move, do you have the qualifications to mock him?"

If Xiao Changsheng knew in the spring that Chen Guanlou thought so highly of him, he might not be able to come back to life.

Li Yanmo was unconvinced, but had no way to refute.

Just by birth, he threw Xiao Changsheng ten streets away.

A broken family, no matter how powerful, is just a broken family, not to mention the person is dead.

Status and position are the only factors to consider.

He sneered, "Xiao Changsheng is just a broken family, if he doesn't work hard, how can he be wealthy."

"Minister Li's words are reasonable. You don't have to work hard, you don't even have to try, and you can be wealthy!" Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile.

Li Yanmo was unhappy, he suspected the other party was mocking himself. His face was drooping, looking like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"Prepare well, interrogate in two days. If you don't want to be tortured, don't go against it."

"Torture me, they dare!" Li Yanmo was shocked and angry, his color was fierce but his heart was empty.

"What's there to dare. You are a prisoner, the Ministry of Justice is going through the process of interrogating you, if you don't cooperate, they will torture you, even if the Emperor comes, he can't pick out half a mistake. If you don't want to suffer, cooperate with the Ministry of Justice, confess what should be confessed, muddle through what should be muddled. In short, don't be stubborn. The Ministry of Justice specializes in treating stubbornness!"

Chen Guanlou kindly reminded him, all for the sake of money.

Looking at the movement in the court, Li Yanmo definitely couldn't get out of prison for a while. The longer he was imprisoned, the more money he spent, he hoped the other party would be fine, don't toss about, and sit in prison with peace of mind.

Once tortured, the Li family would be anxious and look for relationships everywhere to fish people out. If they fished people out, he would earn much less pocket money.

Safe and sound, no disasters and no illnesses, the Li family would not be busy fishing people out.

Li Yanmo didn't understand Chen Guanlou's thoughts, and didn't know the other party's characteristic of recognizing money but not people.

His heart was quite grateful.

He thought Company Commander Chen was quite good, repeatedly reminding him, this is worrying about him having an accident.

It can be considered that the Heavenly Prison's reputation is better than other prison cells.

It can also be considered a misinterpretation of the meaning of the word reputation.

"Many thanks to Company Commander Chen for the reminder, I will prepare well."

"If you can maintain a normal heart, that's the best. I will also tell the prison guards to watch you as much as possible, and remind you when necessary. This is your first time being interrogated, don't understand the situation, look more, ask more, talk less!"

"I know!"

"Good to say, good to say!"

Chen Guanlou left with a smile and continued to patrol the prison cells.

Li Yanmo listens to advice.

He has pride, but his personality is relatively good, and he can distinguish between good and bad.

During the interrogation, he remembered Chen Guanlou's reminder, talked less and made fewer mistakes, and cooperated as much as possible. He was interrogated smoothly without being tortured.

What he didn't know was that the Ministry of Justice had long had a tacit understanding not to make things difficult for him. Even if he didn't cooperate, even if he was arrogant and arrogant, the Ministry of Justice could tolerate it and would not torture him.

However, he could cooperate, and the Ministry of Justice was very satisfied, and his evaluation was a few points higher. Even the Minister of Justice Sun Daoning's mood was a little better.

Li Yanmo thought that after the interrogation, he would be released from prison soon.

However, as the days passed, he did not wait for the release document, but waited for more prison friends.
