Chapter 221: Wrapping with kindness and righteousness is far better than interest temptation
Recently, I have a fate with the Bing-sized cell block, coming twice in a short time.
Chen Guanlou felt emotional in his heart.
His two opportunities all came from the Bing-sized cell block, this is his blessed land! Decided, have time to come and see more in the future, maybe one day he will bump into the third opportunity.
The first opportunity, Luo Jingtian gave him "Ascension Record"!
The second opportunity, the second leader let him find the complete version of "Ascension Record", avoiding going into demonic deviation.
Arriving at the cell door.
Lu Datou knocked on the cell door bars with the water-fire staff, "Hey, Chen Tou is here. If you have anything to say, say it quickly."
The second leader woke up from the straw pile, struggling to turn over and sit up, looking closely, it really was. Lu Datou has such high efficiency. It seems that the two are indeed good brothers.
"You want to see me?" Chen Guanlou observed the other party.
Messy hair, full beard, bloodshot eyes, the wounds on his face had scabbed. Because he hadn't washed, the dark red blood that had dried remained on his cheeks, covering half of his face, the whole face looked both cruel and chaotic, only a pair of eyes revealed extremely complex emotions: surprise, relief, sentiment, bitterness, regret, relief.
"Troubling Chen Tou again, please forgive me."
"I'm here, what do you want to say?"
The second leader didn't open his mouth for a long time, seemingly still hesitating.
Lu Datou was annoyed, picking up the water-fire staff and wanting to beat the person through the bars.
Chen Guanlou reached out to stop Lu Datou, asking the second leader inside the cell, "When you joined the mountain bandits, was it arranged by your sworn big brother?"
The second leader was very surprised, then thought it through, but still didn't make a sound. Silence represented affirmation.
Chen Guanlou gave a light laugh, "Although I don't know who your sworn big brother is yet, this operation is really amazing. In this way, when he saved you, he had already planned all this. The so-called saving you at the risk of his future and life was just a play. Because he knew you were a person who valued righteousness, didn't have a sense of right and wrong, but was clear about gratitude and resentment. Wrapping you with kindness and righteousness is far more useful than tempting you with interest. Must admit, your sworn big brother has a very accurate eye for people."
The second leader opened his mouth wanting to refute, but couldn't spit out a single word.
That's right, he didn't have any sense of right and wrong, but he had a cavity of hot blood, valuing the word righteousness the most in the Jianghu. Big brother had the kindness of saving his life, he should repay it. Big brother was troubled by not having silver to get ahead, so he went to be a mountain bandit to rob passing merchants, helping big brother raise funds.
All these years, everything he did was to repay big brother's kindness of saving his life.
However, when the truth was dismantled by others, naked use and calculation, what kindness, what big brother, were all a scam, what could he do. Besides hating himself for not having eyes, he couldn't hate big brother. Hate, very simple, but meant denying his own efforts and efforts of more than ten years in the past.
Once thinking about his more than ten years being a scam, fed to the dog, once thinking deeply, he couldn't catch his breath, as if a fish leaving the water, dying in the next second.
He didn't dare to think deeply, could only be muddled, living a muddled life. Attempting to use brotherly affection to convince himself that big brother wasn't completely using him, and definitely still had some feelings.
Not cheap!
If he didn't comfort himself like this, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on until tomorrow. The taste of heart-cutting, too painful, painful to the point of not wanting to bear it a second time.
Deceive yourself! Anyway, you have deceived for so many years, what does it matter if you continue to deceive.
Chen Guanlou saw the second leader reveal a painful and confused expression, so he continued to say: "Before the government soldiers destroyed your nest, did you see your big brother?"
The second leader nodded, finally making his own sound, "About half a month before the government soldiers raided, I came to the capital and met big brother once."
"Had a conflict?"
"The purpose of seeing big brother, one was to ask him how the new identity for Yin Siniang was going, and the second was to give him silver."
"He didn't want to give Yin Siniang a new identity?" Chen Guanlou guessed, "So you had a conflict."
The second leader flashed a look of pain in his eyes, not denying it, "You guessed it right. Yin Siniang's matter, I entrusted him to handle it several months ago, but he kept pushing it off. At first I didn't notice, until the last meeting, I questioned him on the spot, whether he didn't intend to help from the beginning, whether he disliked me, this brother, for dragging him down, whether he wanted to break off the kindness.
He denied it! He said official business was busy, his position was watched by many people, and he hadn't found an opportunity for a while. I believed him. However, half a month later, the government soldiers suddenly went up the mountain, killing us by surprise."
Chen Guanlou supplemented the content behind, "You threatened him, so he wanted to silence you. Didn't expect you to have a big life, actually living until now. In this way, your big brother shouldn't be from the Ministry of Justice. Otherwise, he would have reached out to kill you long ago, and wouldn't have given you the opportunity to spit out the truth to us."
The second leader closed his eyes in pain, "He is indeed not from the Ministry of Justice."
"You said he saved you, and it was when he was in a humble position. Could it be that he was serving in the county yamen, or the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division? Before you joined the mountain bandits, you definitely didn't have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Prison. Then, the person who could save you could only be the criminal room personnel responsible for criminal justice in the county yamen, or the errand of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division. However, I am more inclined to the county yamen. He relied on you, had money to get promoted, and has already risen to the point where he doesn't need your help, maybe he has already become a county magistrate. No no no, the county magistrate is not enough, it must be a position higher than the county magistrate."
The second leader opened his mouth and tongue, looking shocked.
Chen Guanlou smiled complacently, "Is this difficult?"
The second leader's brain was chaotic.
Could it be that people who eat public food are all this sharp? An inconspicuous prison guard has such wisdom. Then what level is big brother's wisdom.
Then, he lowered his head and gave a bitter laugh. Being played by big brother in the palm of his hand was his inevitable result, even if he resisted, it was of no avail. He boasted of being smart, but even a prison guard could easily handle him, let alone big brother who was like a fish in water in the officialdom.
Instantly, he was relieved!
His dullness matched his encounter! ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
Afterward, he lowered his head and gave a bitter laugh. Being played in the palm of his big brother's hand was his inevitable result; even if he resisted, it would be of no avail. He prided himself on being smart, but even a prison guard could easily manipulate him, let alone his big brother who was like a fish in water in the officialdom.
In an instant, he felt relieved!
His foolishness was worthy of his encounter!
