Chapter 205: A Big Deal That Is Wishful Thinking

"What deal? My time is limited, you speak briefly."

Chen Guanlou's expression was clearly impatient. He was like a young man, appearing extremely vulgar. Seeing that Liu Daowen was not far from death, he decisively chose to turn his face and not recognize people.

"I don't want to die." Seeing Chen Guanlou come to the cell door again, Liu Daowen was both anxious and nervous, and had two points of certainty. His certainty was not aimed at Chen Guanlou, but was cheering himself up: it must be possible, it must work. Must have confidence in oneself.

"You've already said that." Chen Guanlou's expression was cold, looking like a scumbag who didn't recognize people after pulling up his pants.

"Chen Tou, save me."

Chen Guanlou returned him a white eye. "If you are so long-winded again, I will leave immediately and there won't be a next time."

"I'll say it, I'll say it. I have money, a lot, a lot of money."

Chen Guanlou nodded knowingly; he naturally knew the other party had money.

Liu Daowen looked left and right, leaned closer, and his voice was lower. "I hid a lot of money outside, an astronomical figure, no one knows except me. If you can save me, we will split these money in half, how about it?"

Chen Guanlou stared at the other party fixedly without making a sound.

Liu Daowen was instantly anxious. "Is it possible, give me a truthful word. I really have money, silver money not recorded in the book, the Imperial Guard certainly can't find it."

Chen Guanlou took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Lord Liu, this is the Heavenly Prison. If the people above want to behead you, there will be several rounds of identity verification before beheading. You are the famous Lord Liu; who in the imperial court doesn't know you? That's right. Secondly, if it's exile, there are also several rounds of identity verification processes. Tell me, isn't your idea a bit wishful thinking?"

Liu Daowen choked, not knowing how to answer.

Chen Guanlou continued: "Before you, there were many imprisoned officials who were smarter and richer than you. Do you think they didn't think about it? Do you think they were willing to die? Lord Liu, this is a prosperous age, the Holy Lord is in the court, you play small tricks and small means to the Heavenly Prison—are you tired of your life, or are you tired of my life?"

"But I really don't want to die."

"No one wants to die." Chen Guanlou snorted coldly. "The verdict above hasn't come down yet; what are you in a hurry for? By the way, why does the Brocade Uniform Guard want to check your mansion? What else haven't you confessed?"

"I don't know." Liu Daowen looked innocent and aggrieved. "I just embezzled a little silver; I really don't know why the Imperial Guard would target me. At worst, I'll give all the money to the Imperial Guard and beg them to let me go."

Chen Guanlou sneered. "Thinking very beautifully. Lord Liu, I advise you to be peaceful, finish your last days well, don't create extra branches, and implicate innocent people."

"But... a lot, a lot of money, you don't covet it?"

"No matter how much money there is, it's not as important as life."

"Ten thousand! As long as the imperial court's verdict comes down, as long as you are willing to take me out, ten thousand taels, how about it?" Liu Daowen looked at Chen Guanlou nervously.

Chen Guanlou was moved.

That was ten thousand taels!

Selling him wouldn't be worth ten thousand taels.

However...

Chen Guanlou shook his head and refused. "Lord Liu, don't tempt me. No matter how much money, it's not as important as life. Taking your money, I'm afraid of having the life to earn it but not the life to spend it. Don't give me trouble, otherwise I will also be unkind to you and let you taste what it's like to be worse than dead."

"Chen Tou, you can't turn your face and not recognize people! Our friendship, at least give me a chance!"

"Think about eating shit!" Chen Guanlou picked up the water-fire stick and hit the cell door fence fiercely. "Be peaceful. No wonder Jiang Tu would abandon you; tell me, you, you don't have any stability as a court official, you mess around when you encounter things, and you don't care if the consequences can be borne.

Have you thought about it? Once your wishful thinking succeeds, how many people will lose their heads because of you? How many people will be implicated by you? Tell me, does everyone hate you? If they can't find you, can't they clean up your family? From your old mother to your children, as long as one person in your Liu family is still alive, they will all die badly. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Liu Daowen fell to the ground, his whole person dazed, and the aura of despair permeated his whole body.

Yes!

If he escaped, what about his family?

There would be countless people implicated, and they would definitely find his family to take revenge. At that time, it would be a situation of death and no life.

Liu Daowen burst into tears, crying uncontrollably, his face covered in tears and snot.

Chen Guanlou instructed the prison guards to watch Liu Daowen well, not to let the other party seek his own death, and then left.

He was in a good mood, not only because he was about to make a big profit, but also because he had fought with the Fifth Rank martial artist Xiao Chengcheng last night, and he had a clear understanding of his own strength.

His knife technique was clearly stronger than the other party's sword technique. With the same cultivation, he relied on his knife technique to fiercely suppress the other party. If the big knife in his hand wasn't made of top-tier material and couldn't compare to the famous sword in Xiao Chengcheng's hand, if he changed to a good knife, he would have the confidence to kill Xiao Chengcheng on the spot.

That was a Fifth Rank powerhouse!

He already had the ability to kill a Fifth Rank powerhouse; how could he not be happy.

However, the knife needed to be forged again. Spend a fortune to forge a truly good knife, a world-famous knife.

Thinking about it, he still needed a weapon to kill others, which clearly meant his cultivation of Heaven and Man as One was not enough. If he really reached the realm of Heaven and Man as One, he would have no knife in his hand, but a knife in his heart. Everything in heaven and earth would be used by him to kill anyone.

His heart was full of fighting spirit.

After work, he went home first.

As soon as he entered the house, his footsteps paused.

Someone had been to the house.

Although all the objects were placed in their original positions, he was sure that someone had been there. The visitor was an expert, at least an expert in turning things upside down.

Searching by turning things upside down, and being able to accurately put all the objects back in their original positions, doing it without moving, was definitely an old hand.

Chen Guanlou stretched out his finger and wiped the table lightly.

The table was very clean.

There was a trace on the table that was difficult to find if you didn't look carefully, where the dust had been wiped away.

The hair wrapped around the corner of the desk was still there—truly an expert. However, the dust trace on the table really exposed the truth.

He sneered and sat down as if nothing had happened.

Who is it?

Who targeted him?

This house was inherited from his ancestors, he lived here, his identity was just an ordinary prison guard, his family background was clearly displayed, and anyone could inquire about it. Such an ordinary and inconspicuous identity, yet it attracted an expert searcher to visit?

Looking for what?

His gaze swept across the whole room; there were no valuable items in this room, let alone secrets.

Was his vest exposed?

Was it because he collected goods for the Master and was targeted by someone?

Did the Brocade Uniform Guard suspect him?

Or did Qi Laoda find him?

Could it be that when he fought with Xiao Chengcheng last night, he accidentally got some tracking powder on him?

Or was it that the goods prepared by the Liu Mansion butler were tampered with? ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
