Chapter 348: Betraying the master and destroying the ancestors, be careful of losing your reputation

Chen Guanlou frowned, "I don't believe it. He cherishes his life and fears death so much, where did he get the courage to poison himself? Investigate the source of the poison, perhaps there will be a harvest."

"If I remember correctly, Brother Chen is a prison clerk, watching prisoners, not investigating cases and arresting criminals. Brother Chen, you have overstepped!" Zhao Mingqiao's attitude was very impolite, seeming to dislike Chen Guanlou's meddling very much.

Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the young man in front of him, still the appearance in memory, but the attitude and expression had clearly changed. No longer the hot-blooded young man with ideals in the past, now standing in front of him was a deep-minded officialdom person.

"It looks like you seem to know the inside story very well." Chen Guanlou hit the straight ball, not playing roundabout means.

Zhao Mingqiao avoided his eyes, looked at the sky, and said softly: "Some things are unavoidable."

Chen Guanlou's brain opened wide, and an extremely absurd and bold guess suddenly popped into his mind, "You... don't forget, he is your teacher. Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, Teacher, if this matter spreads out, you will be completely finished."

Betraying the master and destroying the ancestors, social death ranking first. Whether it is officialdom or the scholar forest, it cannot be tolerated. Once this matter spreads, Zhao Mingqiao will not die but will peel off a layer of skin, from then on completely removed from the officialdom and scholar forest, with no hope of turning over.

Some things can be thought, even said, but absolutely cannot be done.

"Are you crazy?"

"I don't understand Brother Chen's words, what do you mean?" Zhao Mingqiao refused to admit it.

"You play this set with me." Chen Guanlou sneered, "Don't forget I am watching prisoners. What kind of prisoner have I not seen, what kind of means and thoughts have I not seen. You play this set in front of me, still too tender."

Zhao Mingqiao's face sank, annoyed that his experience was insufficient. He lowered his voice and said angrily: "Then what do you want me to say? I said from the beginning, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."

"Rest assured, I won't meddle in other people's business. I also won't ask about the grudges between you and Lu Mingchuan. I'm just reminding you, don't forget your original intention."

With Chen Guanlou's guarantee, Zhao Mingqiao obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

He said slowly, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard was investigating the teacher in secret; even if I did nothing, he would walk to today. I just accelerated this progress slightly."

Hearing Zhao Mingqiao's frankness with his own ears, although he guessed it before, Chen Guanlou was still shocked.

After calming his emotions for a while, he said: "You really, from one extreme to another. Be careful of playing with fire and burning yourself!"

Zhao Mingqiao laughed at himself, "I have long been prepared to lose my reputation and die without redemption."

"No, you are not prepared. I just tried to bluff you just now, you didn't see how panicked your expression and eyes were. Zhao Mingqiao, you want to walk on a tightrope, still too tender, you can't do it without showing your emotions. You play too arrogantly, sooner or later you will attract fire to your body. Don't think that what you do is very secret; I can see it, others will naturally see it too."

Chen Guanlou patted his shoulder and finally said: "Take care of yourself!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

He didn't expect that Zhao Mingqiao's first big event after getting out of prison was to personally end Lu Mingchuan. The other party was still that hot-blooded young man who went to extremes; the difference was that in the past, only his thoughts were extreme, harboring naive ideals. Now, his means had also become extreme.

For this type of person with full sense of belief, reasoning is useless. They are extremely good at self-PUA, not only good at brainwashing others, but even better at brainwashing themselves. Their belief is so firm that ten cows can't pull it back. Even if they hit the south wall, they will never look back.

On this point, it seems to be the same as that group of cult rebels, all are small strongs that can't be beaten to death. The difference is that one stands in the light, and the other stands in the dark, but both are doing things that cannot be seen.

He hit a pot of wine and went home, drinking alone, blowing the night wind, thinking about the gap between people, which is even greater than the gap between people and animals.

When he was drinking vigorously, the courtyard door was knocked.

He thought it was a neighbor and opened the courtyard door directly.

Outside the door was not a neighbor, but Zhao Mingqiao whom he saw today.

In just a few hours, the person was obviously wilted.

Zhao Mingqiao stood at the courtyard door, his expression tangled and hesitant, finally returning to firmness, "The Ministry of Justice decided to close the case. The Lu family has already set up a spirit shed, because the weather is hot, only stopping the spirit for three days."

"Come in and talk." Chen Guanlou's expression was calm; he had long thought it through: respect others' destiny, put down the plot of helping others.

Zhao Mingqiao didn't need his help; this person's own ideas were straighter than anyone else's.

It was just a bit surprising that it was so late, and the other party actually came over.

Fortunately, the curfew was cancelled.

Otherwise, walking on the street in the middle of the night, being caught by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there would be no lack of trouble.

Zhao Mingqiao had been to Chen's house before, in the small courtyard, where the two drank and bragged together. At that time, the time was very simple, but it was full of beauty.

The small courtyard was still that small courtyard, and the person hadn't changed, but the state of mind had long been different.

It was still the bamboo chair that creaked, the uneven table, and the table corner had to be padded with a broken tile so it wouldn't shake.

Seeing wine on the table, he didn't be polite, directly picked up the wine pot and poured it into his mouth.

Chen Guanlou added a pair of bowls and chopsticks silently, took another pot of wine, and poured him a cup, "Coming over so late, aren't you tired?"

"Dealing with the people of the Six Gates is not tired."

"That's true. With your intelligence, playing with that group of Six Gates people is simply easy. You should be glad that this is a suicide case, and the people sent by the Six Gates are all crooked melons and cracked dates with insufficient experience. If you encountered an old hand of the Six Gates, you could see at a glance that this case is tricky. Good, suddenly committed suicide. Heh heh! Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard is investigating in secret, it wouldn't go so hurriedly, so guilty, you say right."

Chen Guanlou teased.

Zhao Mingqiao narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Is it really that obvious?"

Chen Guanlou mocked: "I only dealt with Lu Mingchuan for a few days, even I know he is a person who fears death and cherishes life. How would others think? Especially those colleagues, fellow villagers, and old friends who are familiar with him? Lu Mingchuan's desire for fame is so heavy, he is about to do a big job and get the favor of the old Emperor, choosing to commit suicide at this time, what is he trying to figure out? Too many flaws!"

"What if there is an unavoidable reason?" Zhao Mingqiao asked back.

"What reason could there be?"

"For example, the deposed Crown Prince case, he is one of the planners and promoters."

Pfft!

The wine in Chen Guanlou's mouth sprayed out directly.

"Are you playing for real?"

Zhao Mingqiao held the wine glass, with a determined look of everything under control, changing from the panic when he was at the Lu family before. Obviously, these few hours were not spent in vain; he had already reviewed the matter from beginning to end several times, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

"What is true, what is false? In this court, the public mouth melts gold; even if it is false, it becomes true. Everyone says it is false, even if it is true, it will become false. Brother Chen, do you think I am out of selfishness? No, from beginning to end, I am out of public heart. From beginning to end, I have never changed." ===== CHAPTER 349 =====
