Chapter 1734

~8 min read 1,580 words

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was indeed very anxious.

Since the Heavenly Prison could screen out one Worshiping God Sect cult bandit, it could screen out a second one, or even an infinite number.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard extended an olive branch, wanting to cooperate with the Heavenly Prison to 'buy' a Worshiping God Sect cult bandit.

Chen Guanlou almost laughed to death.

"Yang Deguang is really a god-man; who gave him the idea to think of coming to the Heavenly Prison to buy cult bandits. He treats cult bandits like Chinese cabbage in a cellar, wanting as many as he wants."

"I think he is sick and seeking medical advice! Investigating cult bandits is still what Xiao Jincheng is best at. If Xiao Jincheng investigated this case, I wouldn't dare say the case was closed, but at least he would have caught a batch of real cult bandits. He would be in a position to advance and retreat!"

Medical Official Mu also felt that Yang Deguang was very god-like; his brain was qualified to be a military general, and military generals often did the business of buying and selling captives. But as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his brain was a bit insufficient!

"How does the lord intend to reply to him?"

Chen Guanlou smiled contemptuously, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard is not as good as before! I've started to miss Lord Xiao; I don't know if he's dead or not."

"If Lord Xiao knew that the lord was missing him so much, even if he were dead, he would be moved to jump out of the coffin."

Chen Guanlou laughed out loud.

"Someone, go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and politely decline Lord Yang's kindness for me. I wish him success in his wishes and completion of the errand entrusted by the Emperor as soon as possible. When he has time, I will invite him to drink."

Yang Deguang was indeed sick and seeking medical advice, which was why he came up with the bad idea of buying a cult bandit.

After learning that Chen Guanlou rejected his proposal, he immediately gave up the idea, and his mood became more and more irritable and anxious.

The cult bandit case was not easy to handle, but it had to be handled.

In the past few months, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had mobilized their entire nest and caught many people, among whom were a few cult bandits, but they were all small characters. He wanted to catch big fish.

Only by catching big fish could he explain himself to the Emperor and close the cult bandit case.

He vaguely felt that Chen Guanlou might have a way to help him catch big fish, but unfortunately, the other party refused to cooperate.

"Why doesn't the lord go to the Heavenly Prison in person and discuss it face-to-face with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen? Right now, catching people and closing the case is the most important thing; everything else can be put aside. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen loves money; as long as we can afford the price, everything can be discussed."

"Do you really think I should cooperate with Company Commander Chen?"

"Company Commander Chen's other skills might not be worth mentioning, but his skill in catching cult bandits has some things to say."

"Tell me about it!"

The subordinate pondered and said, "In the early years, the capital was troubled by the White Lotus Sect cult bandits, and several prison breaks in the Heavenly Prison were related to those cult bandits. In those years, Company Commander Chen often dealt with those cult bandits, so it's normal to have some channels."

The biggest reason was that there had long been rumors within the Embroidered Uniform Guard that Chen Guanlou knew the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and it was said that their relationship was quite good. The reason why they didn't reveal this news to Yang Deguang was, first, there was no evidence, and second, they didn't want to offend Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou's deterrent power was clearly stronger than Yang Deguang's.

When Lord Xiao was there, he didn't allow them to discuss this matter. Now, no one would take the initiative to bring it up.

Survival first!

Yang Deguang frowned, "This matter needs to be pondered."

The subordinate was a bit disappointed.

Lord Yang ultimately lacked decisiveness. Handling cases in the Embroidered Uniform Guard requires decisiveness, daring to give orders, and daring to take risks.

Yang Deguang was okay as a city-guarding general, but as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he was clearly too conservative.

There were reasons why the Embroidered Uniform Guard hadn't made any achievements in the past few years and had been suppressed by the court.

Yang Deguang cared about his face, ultimately not as thick-skinned as Xiao Jincheng. For the dignified Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to beg a Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng for help—it didn't sound good. He would rather bear the pressure than lose face.

Chen Guanlou was happy to be idle.

If the other party really wanted him to help, he couldn't conjure up a second cult bandit.

Sun Daooning got the prisoner Liu Youliang and showed his face in front of the Emperor. The Emperor praised him for his loyalty and duty, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Happiness leads to sorrow.

Two days later, he fell ill, once sick to the point of being unable to get out of bed, and could breathe his last at any time.

The sky of the Sun mansion collapsed.

Finally, relying on Medical Official Mu's miraculous hands, he was rescued.

After waking up, Sun Daooning sighed, "With this illness, I'm afraid my lifespan is limited. I don't know when I will fall."

Chen Guanlou sat in front of the hospital bed and comforted him, "The spring is cold and the weather is changeable; getting sick is inevitable. It's not to the point of life and death. With Medical Official Mu here, you won't die."

"Medical Official Mu is old, and how many years does he have left to live? When he is gone, who can I count on next time?"

"Naturally, you can count on me. I dare not say anything else, but I have the confidence to keep a glimmer of life for you until you find a life-saving medicine."

Sun Daooning heard this and laughed, feeling very comforted.

"Although there is an element of exaggeration, I still appreciate your favor. This illness is dangerous and came fiercely; I don't know what Medical Official Mu has to say?"

"The weather is changeable, and you ate the wrong thing, which is why the illness seems dangerous."

"What did I eat wrong?" Sun Daooning was confused, recalling his diet before getting sick, it was very normal.

"You have to ask yourself what you ate. Be careful about what you eat in the future, don't be careless."

"Do you mean someone poisoned me?" Sun Daooning couldn't believe it.

He was the Minister of Justice and a minister of the Government Affairs Hall; who was so bold as to dare to poison the Minister of the current dynasty? Absurd! If someone really poisoned him, it would be a violation of official rules and would be kicked out of the officialdom and expelled from the official ranks.

Everyone fighting and killing each other is within the rules.

Acts like poisoning and assassination are serious behaviors that destroy the rules and will never be lenient! Catch one, kill one! There is no room for any sentiment.

What does the civil official group rely on to maintain the world?

It relies on a set of effective order!

The essence of order is rules!

No rules, no square!

"Whether it's poisoning or not, it's hard to draw a conclusion. There is a disease in the intestines and stomach, which is why the illness is dangerous." Chen Guanlou told the other party, "When Medical Official Mu examined you, you had already been sick for three or four days. The food in your stomach had long been digested and absorbed, so it couldn't be checked."

Sun Daooning's expression was blank, "Are you sure it's just a simple stomach upset?"

"I don't know! That's why I reminded you to be careful about what you eat in the future. You dared to catch cult bandits and made a merit, perhaps you got in someone's eyes, and they gave you a lesson."

"Are there cult bandits in the Ministry of Justice, or are you saying there are cult bandits in my mansion?"

Chen Guanlou spread his hands; he only cared about reminding, not investigating.

Sun Daooning gritted his teeth, angry.

This bunch of cult bandits was too rampant, actually daring to poison the Minister of the current dynasty.

"Still killed too few! They should all be caught and beheaded!"

Chen Guanlou nodded, "Leave the catching of people to the people below. You just take good care of your body."

Sun Daooning was sick for nearly a month before he got better.

During his illness, he wasn't idle either. He turned the Sun mansion upside down and rectified it, didn't find any cult bandits, but found treacherous servants and sent them all to the officials. He didn't care whether he lost face, he just wanted peace.

The Ministry of Justice wasn't idle either, taking the opportunity of his illness to adjust some personnel orders.

Caught a cold, state is extremely poor!
