Chapter 1701: I can't afford a cow or horse like you

Qu Yuan's personality determined that after he left the Heavenly Prison, before the Zeng family's great grudge was avenged, he would not leave the capital. Doing things must have a beginning and an end; even if he had to pay the price with his life, he would not hesitate.

He lurked in the capital, following and observing for several days.

He didn't have a one hundred percent certainty of success in one strike, but he still chose to act. He was lucky that the high-rank martial artist guards who used to be by Zhang Yushi Wang's side were occasionally off-duty because it had been peaceful recently.

The guards by Zhang Yushi Wang's side were all low-rank martial artists.

Qu Yuan fought with his life and stabbed Zhang Yushi Wang with a sword. Not caring whether the other party was dead or not, he immediately fled!

He was injured and fled all the way, the traces of blood couldn't be covered. He also startled the night patrol of the Military Horse Division, and then Zhang Yushi Wang's high-rank martial artist guards also chased after him.

At the critical moment of life and death, he was caught by the "Six Shanmen"!

The Six Shanmen night patrol caught the blood-covered Qu Yuan before the Military Horse Division, and disregarding the obstruction of the Wang family, first escorted the person to the Six Shanmen. They roughly treated his injuries and asked about the basic case.

The case was reported, he was taken into custody, and locked in the Heavenly Prison.

And so, Qu Yuan, who had been out of prison for less than a month, returned to the Heavenly Prison, returning to the familiar C-grade prison.

The difference was that last time he was an extra person in the prison cell.

This time he was registered in the prisoner roster, a proper prisoner.

In this dynasty, killing an official is equivalent to treason.

Even if the previous case, such as the Zhou Zongyan murder case, wasn't dug up, just by stabbing a current Zhang Yushi in the street, he was definitely going to die! There was no room for any excuse.

Even if Zhang Yushi Wang didn't die, Qu Yuan would still have to be buried with him. If he had nine clans, he would have to have his nine clans executed.

Fortunately, the Qu family had long since died out.

Qu Yuan himself was also an old bachelor, without wife or children, and had no nine clans to execute.

Chen Guanlou took the case file and went down to the C-grade prison, arriving at the prison door where Qu Yuan was locked, looking at the other party lying on the pile of straw covered in blood, quite pitiful.

The C-grade prison had these conditions, not even a bed board, all straw.

The good thing was that the Heavenly Prison was at least a Ministry of Justice prison, the conditions were okay, the ground wasn't dirt, but stone slabs. The dampness and moisture weren't that heavy, and it wouldn't aggravate his injuries for the time being.

"Your efficiency in doing things is quite high; you came back in less than a month after going out. Should I praise you, or should I kill you!"

Chen Guanlou asked with a smile while flipping through the case file.

Don't look at him smiling, Qu Yuan felt abnormal pressure and terror, and the unhealed wounds actually seeped blood again under the fear.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's smile was truly terrifying, as if he wanted to eat people!

Chen Guanlou didn't eat people, but he really wanted to kill people.

"You have a big life; I heard you made quite a big commotion, yet you didn't die and were able to be taken into custody alive."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, rest assured, one person does one person's deeds; I killed Zhang Yushi Wang only for a private grudge."

"What kind of private grudge? How do you plan to say it when you go to court?" Chen Guanlou smiled with a mysterious expression, but his eyes were killing people, "Do you think the Ministry of Justice officials are all fools? They all passed five passes and killed six generals, passing the imperial examination; not one is a fool. You look at them like fools, only because they pretend to be fools. Don't use your little cleverness to fool people, you won't even know how you died."

Qu Yuan couldn't refute a single word.

He couldn't deny that those officials all had good brains, were all smart, and were full of schemes.

A straight-gutted person like him was exposed in the eyes of those officials.

But he didn't despair.

He thought for a moment and said solemnly: "I can die! Die cleanly before going to court; that way, no one will be implicated. It also saves me from being sliced into a thousand pieces at the execution ground."

He was a killer of officials.

And he killed an official in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

He estimated the Emperor could be angered to death.

His situation definitely required a public execution, death by slow slicing. The laws of the Great Gan were just that strict. To deter people's hearts, the laws wouldn't be strict enough to deter without being harsh.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, not opposing this proposal.

Anyway, he was going to die; dying early or dying late was about the same.

"Do you have any last words?"

Qu Yuan looked at Chen Guanlou with eager eyes, "I just want to know if Zhang Yushi Wang died. If he didn't die, I, I am not reconciled!"

Chen Guanlou said "Oh," "It's not clear for the time being, I estimate he hasn't died yet."

Qu Yuan was greatly disappointed.

"I specifically applied golden juice to the sword, yet he didn't die? How can he have such a big life."

Qu Yuan was not reconciled!

Good people don't live long, disasters live for a thousand years; this saying doesn't deceive people.

Golden juice is feces.

A wound infected by feces, one can imagine how terrible the situation would be.

Chen Guanlou said: "I will help you inquire about it. Stay in prison peacefully these few days, don't cause trouble. Someone will treat your injuries."

Qu Yuan nodded, "After I die, the lord's kindness can only be repaid in the next life! In the next life, I will be a cow or a horse to repay the lord."

"I don't need a cow or horse like you! A single-track-minded thing, doesn't understand human speech, only knows how to cause trouble. I keep a cow or horse like you, purely to find trouble for myself."

Chen Guanlou didn't hide his dislike for Qu Yuan.

He admired that the other party was a good man, repaying kindness with kindness and grudges with grudges, a person with principles.

But he really didn't look up to the other party's brain, that stubbornness that nine cows couldn't pull back. Doing things entirely by a reckless force, never using his brain.

You say he has no brain, but he also knows how to scout and track, choosing the time to act.

You say he has a brain, but doing things is just one track, completely disregarding everything, and dying if he has to!

Hard to evaluate!

Getting along with such a person, one can only stay far away. As long as one gets close, no matter what the relationship is—friend, brother, husband and wife, father and son—they will be implicated, endless trouble...

However, if one has trouble, the other party can truly help regardless of everything.

A double-edged sword!

It all depends on how to grasp the distance and scale! It tests personal means very much.

Qu Yuan was very aggrieved and ashamed, actually being disliked by his benefactor.

Indeed, his ability compared to his benefactor could only be considered mediocre. For him to be a cow or horse for his benefactor was just adding trouble.

He felt self-blame and shame.

"But I have no money."

"I don't want your money." Chen Guanlou sneered, "Don't forget, when you left prison back then, it was I who prepared your luggage and silver."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, I am sorry to you."

Qu Yuan struggled to get up, knelt on the ground, disregarding the injuries on his body, and knocked his head three times.

"In this life, I only knock my head to my parents, to Master Zeng, and to my master. This time, it should be the last time I knock my head. I ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to have a large amount of tolerance and forgive my incompetence and dragging you down. Rest assured, I will definitely die cleanly."

Chen Guanlou said "Hmm," "When I don't tell you to die, don't make your own decisions and ruin my good deeds. If you dare to die privately, I will whip your corpse and smash your bones to ashes. If you have no brain, don't let your mind wander, don't make your own decisions. Did you hear clearly?"

Qu Yuan was very aggrieved.

He felt he was quite smart.

However, he still obediently agreed, guaranteeing that he would not act on his own initiative and die lightly. He would definitely wait until he received permission before dying.
