Chapter 361: He is not narcissistic, he is just handsome and knows it

"Do I have a face that invites dislike?"

Chen Guanlou asked solemnly.

Could it be that his face brought him the assassination?

After reviewing it for a long time, he came to this conclusion, and even he himself found it laughable. Could it be that he drank too much alcohol today and his brain wasn't clear?

"Brother Chen, do you have any wrong perception of your own appearance?" Seeing Qi Wuxiu complained implicitly.

"What do you mean?"

"Your face is very liked by women."

"Does that mean men hate this face of mine?" Could it be because of this reason? Chen Guanlou seemed to have cleared his train of thought. Being as handsome as him, it was indeed easy to pull hatred in the male group.

"That's not necessarily the case. Actually, this face of yours is just so-so, about the same as mine." Seeing Qi Wuxiu said shamelessly.

Chen Guanlou sneered coldly, "My eyes aren't blind!"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu was unconvinced, "I go to brothels, and the girls all revolve around me."

"You are the God of Qian Cai, of course they revolve around you. I go to brothels, I don't need money, and there are girls who pay to be with me; do you have that?"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu:...

This really doesn't exist.

Can't compare, can't compare!

Slightly inferior! Just slightly.

"Why did you suddenly ask this? Is someone looking for trouble with you?" Seeing Qi Wuxiu, after all, worked for the Brocade Uniform Guard.

Chen Guanlou shook his head and didn't tell the truth, only saying: "I feel like someone is peeking at me in the dark. Thinking about it, I am just a little prison guard and haven't offended anyone; could it be that some man's woman has thoughts about me and was discovered by the man in her house."

"You are overthinking it." Seeing Qi Wuxiu sneered, "Don't think that just because you have a face, women will have thoughts about you."

Chen Guanlou glanced at the other party, didn't argue, but that look clearly said: You are just jealous.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu was unconvinced and asked solemnly: "Is someone really peeking at you in the dark?"

Chen Guanlou nodded.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu volunteered, "Do you want me to help you investigate secretly?"

"Is it troublesome?" Chen Guanlou asked back.

"I'll investigate it myself; it's not troublesome. There hasn't been much to do recently, so I can still spare this time."

"Thanks! I'll treat you to flower wine another day. How can you Brocade Uniform Guards not be busy recently? We have a new batch of prisoners in the Heavenly Prison; the Imperial Prison should be busier than us."

Seeing Qi Wuxiu waved his hand, "The higher-ups suddenly ordered that recent arrest operations should be slightly restrained. It is estimated that the palace has new ideas again."

Chen Guanlou was very surprised; he was very good at associating, "Could it be related to Prime Minister Yu impeaching the Prince of Zhong?"

"I don't know, I don't understand these things. The Prince of Chu is causing chaos; I thought we would be busier, but I didn't expect to be idle instead." Seeing Qi Wuxiu was not good at thinking about these complex things; he was a qualified executor, not a leader.

Chen Guanlou held his teacup and began to ponder, "Based on your Brocade Uniform Guard's experience, is the impact of Prime Minister Yu impeaching the Prince of Zhong huge?"

"It's okay. Since the Prince of Zhong was deposed, the Brocade Uniform Guard has been ordered to secretly monitor the Prince of Zhong's mansion. I even went to stand night watch. Prime Minister Yu impeaching the Prince of Zhong, although very unexpected, thinking about it carefully, I estimate he was hinted at by His Majesty and wanted to please His Majesty, so he took this step. As for the impact, the Prince of Zhong has already been deposed and is no longer the Crown Prince of the past. Alas!"

"You actually accepted the fact that the Prince of Zhong was deposed so calmly. At first, I thought you would rebel, cry and howl, and get drunk for three days." Chen Guanlou teased.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu was embarrassed by what he said and laughed at himself, "I am a small person, unable to influence anyone's thoughts, and unable to change any facts, so I can only bow my head and accept it."

The young man of the past, who held the simplest thoughts of justice, finally failed in the face of reality, accepted his fate, and became an honest public servant who occasionally slacked off and gave up his great ambitions.

Chen Guanlou raised his teacup, "A toast to this damn Heaven."

After drinking one cup, there was another, "From now on, our brothers will work hard to make money!"

"Make money!" Seeing Qi Wuxiu pursed his lips, "You are right, making money is the real thing, and it is what we should pursue. I suddenly understand those corrupt officials; public food is not good to eat, and one cannot pursue morality and justice, so pursuing money is the last path. If even money is not there, this public food is truly chicken ribs—tasteless to eat, a pity to discard."

"Brother, you have realized it. Making money is our pursuit; everything else is floating clouds. Justice? This thing is a castle in the air. Justice is not in you or me, not in the law, but entirely in a word from above. We are just the lowest-level tool people. As tool people, don't hold unrealistic fantasies; making money is the right path."

Chen Guanlou put his arm around Seeing Qi Wuxiu's shoulder and gave a grand speech, instilling his set of money-making theories into the other party, as if he were holding a class, vowing to wash away the messy things in Seeing Qi Wuxiu's brain.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu was not so easily brainwashed.

"You Heavenly Prison people find it easy to make money; just blackmail the prisoners. Anyway, no one investigates. We Brocade Uniform Guards make money by blackmailing law-abiding citizens; this is not good, right?"

"You can blackmail corrupt officials." Chen Guanlou gave the other party ideas without any psychological burden.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu shook his head repeatedly and immediately denied this bad idea, "Before corrupt officials are convicted, they are all pillars of the Imperial Court; I don't have the guts to go blackmail them. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died."

"Having said that, we Brocade Uniform Guards don't find it as convenient to make money as you Heavenly Prison people. We make money and easily leave handles; if we are investigated afterward, we can't avoid a trip to the Imperial Prison. You don't have this concern when making money; as long as you don't kill people, no one will ask whether a prisoner has been blackmailed."

"It's different. You Brocade Uniform Guards have power, status, and position; your reputation can stop children from crying at night. Heaven is fair; it gave you status and position, so naturally, it will take back a little in terms of money. Similarly, we Heavenly Prison guards got money but lost status and position and were looked down upon by others. Look, God knows how to balance things."

Chen Guanlou said seriously.

Seeing Qi Wuxiu pondered for a while and nodded, "It seems to be this reason. After officials get status and position, if they want money, they can only become corrupt officials, which means breaking the balance. Once the balance is broken, they will capsize sooner or later. Brother Chen, I toast you; you are a person with great wisdom. Do you really not plan to come to the Brocade Uniform Guard with me? Staying in the Heavenly Prison is a waste of talent."

"What do I get for going to the Brocade Uniform Guard with you? Less money, more work, and far from home; am I crazy?" Chen Guanlou complained, "Does the money you earn in a month have my fraction?"

Seeing Qi Wuxiu:...

So sad.

Being compared in face is one thing, but even income is compared.

"After hearing what you said, should I also go to the Heavenly Prison to work?"

"Brother, my dear brother, don't harm me. I am still young, I don't want to die!"

Recruiting a Brocade Uniform Guard to work in the Heavenly Prison—believe it or not, in a minute, everyone in the Heavenly Prison will unite to teach him the principles of being a person. ===== CHAPTER 362 =====
