Chapter 327

~7 min read 1,384 words

"Boss, you just need to say the word, and I'll personally take people to catch that little bitch surnamed Zhong back."

Xiao Jin ran to Chen Guanlou and volunteered.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes immediately.

Catch her back?

Where did he get the confidence?

A single look from Cheng Lingzi could turn people into ashes.

Zhong Susu had climbed a big thigh, and he had climbed Zhong Susu's thigh. This was a food chain, a chain to ensure his own safety, and it couldn't be destroyed by the idiot beside him.

"The situation inside is very complicated, not what is rumored outside."

"No matter how complicated the situation is, the Zhong family cannot break the contract. Boss, you worked so hard to get the Zhong family little bitch out, and as a result, she ran away in the blink of an eye. Boss, can you really swallow this anger? People outside are saying everything; if you really don't do anything, anyone will be able to step on the Boss's head and shit in the future."

"Bullshit! Who dares to step on my head and shit." Chen Guanlou had a gloomy face. "You don't understand the situation inside, don't stir up trouble. Miss Zhong has a big shot behind her, someone we can't afford to offend. Pass the word down, those who don't want to die, keep their mouths shut. I don't want to collect corpses for you every three days!"

Xiao Jin didn't understand.

But looking at the Boss's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Then, then, then... if that Zhong family little... little girl really has a big backer, why would Inspector Zhong still beg the Boss?"

"Who doesn't have some secrets these days? Does Inspector Zhong necessarily understand his daughter? Besides, getting away is seemingly very difficult; how do you know she didn't just want to find some fun?"

Things couldn't be said clearly, but Chen Guanlou could hint to his subordinates not to act impulsively. Don't look at Grandmaster Cheng Lingzi not being in the capital, but the palace was full of her connections. The old emperor seemed to be her little fanboy, chasing after her butt in madness. Everyone was cursing and insulting Zhong Susu without restraint; be careful that it reaches the palace, and with one order, they could destroy everyone in the Heavenly Prison.

Xiao Jin was an old hand and a smart person; he heard the deep meaning in Chen Guanlou's words and looked as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Boss, that Zhong... girl, is she really that awesome?"

"Think in the most awesome direction, and you won't be wrong." Chen Guanlou gave a laugh. "That's all I'll say; you know what to do."

Xiao Jin said "Ah," "Boss, you are really unlucky; the perfectly good bride is gone, and also..."

"If you can't speak, shut up!"

Chen Guanlou gave a cold snort; his wedding room was wasted. When house prices rise, he'll just sell it.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Zhong Susu left him a gift, which was in the wedding room.

After work today, he would go take a look.

Inspect the prison cells as usual.

As soon as Zhang Wenfu saw him, he started howling, unable to eat or sleep, and the itching on his body had been treated with medicine but the effect wasn't obvious. As a noble young master who had lived in luxury since childhood, his skin was indeed too delicate, and the mosquitoes in the Heavenly Prison loved this kind. Unlike other imprisoned officials, who were old, had been in contact with wine, sex, wealth, and Qi for many years, their skin had long since aged, and their meat was old and tough, not as fragrant as young people's.

Chen Guanlou still said the same few words: "Don't be too delicate, just endure it. Everyone gets through it like this; you need to adapt as soon as possible."

"I've tried very hard to adapt. Prison Clerk Chen, can you really not change my cell?"

"There's no change! This cell of yours has the best conditions; any change would be the same treatment as the Grand Tutor. Are you sure you can enjoy the same treatment as the Grand Tutor?"

Zhang Wenfu hesitated. "I, you..."

"Don't think about it, it's impossible." Chen Guanlou dispelled his wishful thinking first.

"Prison Clerk Chen, your heart is really hard. I heard you got married, but I haven't seen two more smiles on your face." Zhang Wenfu complained.

Chen Guanlou's face sank. "Married what married, don't sit in prison properly, just know how to ask about gossip all day. You deserve to suffer."

Zhang Wenfu:...

Even if you don't want to discuss the topic of marriage, you don't have to be so poisonous.

Chen Guanlou gave a cold snort and left directly.

He also visited Xie Changling.

Xie Changling was also a melon-eating enthusiast. "I heard Prison Clerk Chen got married, congratulations!"

Chen Guanlou gave two cold laughs.

Xie Changling raised an eyebrow. "Such great resentment, is the marriage yellow? Could it be that the bride regretted the marriage, or did the bride run away with someone."

Chen Guanlou had a headache.

That's why he didn't want to deal with smart people.

He didn't say a word, and the other party said it all for him.

"Not regretted, but indeed ran away, I didn't guess wrong." Xie Changling's mouth corners turned up, and he couldn't press them down no matter what. He was clearly immersed in watching the show, in an exceptionally pleasant mood.

Chen Guanlou glared. "You are all locked in prison, and the news is still so well-informed. If you have this leisure, you might as well think about how to get out."

"Getting out is not urgent. It's Prison Clerk Chen's lifelong event that is more worthy of attention. Looking at your appearance, it seems you are not angry at the woman. In this way, the marriage didn't happen, and there's no need to be angry. Oh, I understand, it must be that your colleagues are teasing you, making you feel annoyed, but you can't explain the inside story. Wow, it seems the woman ran away, and there is a huge inside story."

Chen Guanlou frowned; that's why he hated geniuses.

"You are so good at analyzing, when Prince Zhong was deposed back then, why didn't you analyze it?"

He had to stab the vitals.

Look, Xie Changling, who was analyzing the situation seriously a second ago, broke his defense decisively the next second, his expression shattered. It was like an eggshell shattering, crack, crack, cracks spreading.

In an instant, Chen Guanlou's mood became very beautiful.

Come on, let's hurt each other!

Xie Changling sighed. "That's why there's a saying that bystanders see clearly. Your affairs can be seen through at a glance. But one's own affairs often fall into a maze."

Chen Guanlou suddenly asked a question that he shouldn't have asked. "What is your impression of the old emperor? Wise, muddled, bright, dark, cowardly, or domineering?"

Xie Changling's reaction was clearly a bit slow, seemingly because the topic shifted too violently, nearly flashing his waist.

"His Majesty... is a very complicated person."

"Just say the first impression, the most intuitive impression, I didn't ask you to analyze." Chen Guanlou interrupted the other party.

Xie Changling deliberated for a while, and suddenly came back to his senses. "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Don't worry about it, just answer me."

Xie Changling suddenly smiled, his eyes looking exceptionally meaningful. "My first impression of His Majesty is deep. His Majesty's thoughts are too deep, bottomless."

"What about Prince Zhong?"

"Prince Zhong, reality is permeated with ideals."

Chen Guanlou didn't quite understand.

"Don't look at Prince Zhong not being young; actually, sometimes he thinks about things quite idealistically. Although he knows that reality is far more cruel than he thinks, and knows that things might be very bad, he still harbors the beautiful wish of ideals. The courtiers support Prince Zhong, not only because of Prince Zhong's orthodox status, but also because of this ideal of his, which makes him look especially pure and kind. This is an extremely rare quality among many princes."

Chen Guanlou:...

Are they sure they are discussing the same person?
