Chapter 329

~7 min read 1,374 words

After work, Chen Guanlou went to the wedding room and found the gift Zhong Susu left for him, twenty thousand taels of silver notes.

Zhong Susu, like Inspector Zhong, was so simple and unadorned when giving gifts.

It can only be said that the Six Shanmen's house-copying skills were not good, or their appetite was too small. If it were the neighboring Brocade Uniform Guard, they would dig three feet into the ground to scrape away the money hidden by the Zhong family.

With money, Chen Guanlou planned to just live in the brothel for the next half month.

As a result, as soon as he opened the courtyard gate, he saw an uninvited guest.

"Chen Guanlou, come with us; our Master wants to see you."

"I don't know any Master!"

"You'll know when you go." There were four people, their attitude was quite arrogant, looking down on everything, their eyes all grew on the top of their heads.

Looking at their dress, they were definitely servants of a wealthy family. Looking at their words and deeds, they were like servants of a nouveau riche family. There was a beautiful illusion that the sky was the eldest, the earth was the second, and I was the third.

Chen Guanlou originally wanted to convince people with reason and let the other party know what was good.

However, before he took action, his heart moved. "Is your Master from the palace?"

The four exchanged a look, but did not deny it. "Don't let our Master wait too long. Offending our Master, there is no good fruit to eat."

"Okay! Lead the way."

Chen Guanlou had a guess in his heart, took a carriage, turned around, and soon reached his destination.

Golden location, only a quarter of an hour away from the Imperial Palace. It further confirmed his guess.

Although he had Wei Wubing's guarantee, he had long been mentally prepared to face inquiries from the palace at any time. That night's matter, he was just an irrelevant person, yet his life was protected. It would be strange if the palace didn't find him to chat.

He was taken by the servants to the flower hall to wait, and tea and snacks were served.

This wait was nearly an hour.

He wasn't panicked at all. He was just hungry, relying on tea and snacks to fill his stomach, while his brain was thinking about where to eat at night and whether to call people to drink together.

All were messy contents, not worried about his situation at all.

Wei Wubing could defy the old emperor, so he must be quite extraordinary in the palace, an transcendent existence. Since he spoke, he believed no one dared to disobey. His life was worry-free, but he couldn't avoid some people playing small tricks in secret.

It wasn't until the Master of the mansion appeared that Chen Guanlou confirmed his guess.

Qiu Defu, Eunuch Qiu! The person most used by the old emperor.

Seeing the other party, Chen Guanlou stood up immediately and saluted. "The small one has seen Eunuch Qiu!"

"Do you know this servant?" Qiu Defu sat in the main seat, carrying the posture of a superior.

"Eunuch Qiu might have forgotten, two years ago at the execution ground, the rebel Wang Shuner, was exactly the one the small one was responsible for escorting."

"Oh!" Qiu Defu seemed to remember. Wang Shuner was just a trivial little matter among many things, and he didn't take it to heart. He didn't expect that the two had already met at that time.

"This servant called you here, do you know the reason?"

Chen Guanlou nodded and shook his head, pretending to be innocent.

"Reporting to Eunuch Qiu, the small one knows nothing!"

He had to maintain his persona. Although several Grandmasters saw that he had mysteries and his cultivation was not low. However, several Grandmasters didn't make a big fuss to publicize him, let alone single him out for display, so he naturally had to continue to maintain the persona of an ordinary prison clerk: greedy for money and lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death, insatiable, and greedy.

Qiu Defu laughed angrily. "Chen Guanlou, this servant investigated your situation a little. Since this servant invited you here, do you think pretending to be stupid is useful?"

"But the small one really knows nothing and saw nothing." Chen Guanlou was expressing his attitude. That night, he promised Wei Wubing that he wouldn't spit out a word, so he naturally kept his word.

Who knows if every word and action of today's meeting would reach Wei Wubing's ears. If he had an in-depth exchange with Qiu Defu, and Wei Wubing suspected that he didn't have a gate on his mouth, and suspected that he couldn't keep secrets, wouldn't it be counterproductive and put himself in a dangerous situation.

Qiu Defu was clearly stunned for a moment, followed by a knowing smile. "You are quite sensible. Since you know nothing and saw nothing, do you know what to do?"

"Do the job step by step, and wait for death every day." Chen Guanlou said casually.

Qiu Defu was clearly surprised, looked him up and down, and gave a laugh. "This servant didn't know before that the Chen family produced such a freak! Giving up a good future, insisting on doing the work of a prison clerk. A decent young man, but only willing to wait for death. Aren't you afraid of being despised and losing the face of your ancestors?"

"I'll burn a few more beautiful women for my ancestors, and burn more paper money; I think my ancestors will forgive me." Chen Guanlou said seriously.

Hahaha...

Qiu Defu laughed loudly, laughing until tears came out.

"Good! Good! Good! No pedantic air of a scholar, very much to this servant's liking. Do you want to work in the palace?"

Chen Guanlou subconsciously covered his key parts, found it wrong in the next second, and let go, laughing awkwardly.

Qiu Defu gave a cold snort, very dissatisfied. "This servant is not a muddled worm; how could I let you be castrated and work in the palace. This servant originally wanted to arrange for you to be a guard, but it seems you are not willing."

Chen Guanlou could only laugh awkwardly; this matter couldn't be explained. Anyone who heard Eunuch Qiu say he wanted to work in the palace would think he wanted to be castrated and be a Eunuch.

This matter really couldn't blame him.

As for being a guard in the palace?

He was crazy to go.

He fished in the Heavenly Prison every day, his life was easy and comfortable, completely satisfying the requirements of more money, less work, and close to home; only a crazy person would go to the palace to stand guard, standing for several hours. Suffering and suffering wasn't this way of suffering.

As for the so-called future, if he cared about the future, he would have had countless opportunities to jump out of the Heavenly Prison long ago.

Do these superiors have a hobby of wanting to be a godfather? As soon as they meet, they say they want to promote, how and how the future is great.

But he is not Bu, and doesn't have the hobby of worshiping a godfather.

Bu: Are you polite?

"Not willing, forget it." Qiu Defu had a cold face. "Some things, remember to let them rot in your heart."

"The small one understands!" Chen Guanlou hurriedly guaranteed.

"It's very uneasy in the palace these days, do you understand?"

Chen Guanlou nodded hesitantly. "Slightly understand!"

"So, you should understand the pros and cons here. Why this servant didn't fear the hardship and met you in person, it's all for the sake of your little life!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Qiu, for your kindness; what virtue or ability does the small one have." Chen Guanlou had a moved look. If he could match it with tears, the effect would be better.

"Who let this servant be kind!" Qiu Defu sighed with emotion.

Chen Guanlou tried his best to flatter, a basket of auspicious words poured out without money, must make this meeting a successful meeting, a harmonious meeting, a great meeting.
