Chapter 375: If you lose, you must admit it

Liu Xianghe was about to die, with only his last breath left.

The people from the Six Shanmen were very cunning; they didn't want Liu Xianghe to die in the Six Shanmen and carry the crime of death by torture, so while he still had his last breath, they threw him to the Heavenly Prison and patted their butts to leave.

Whether Liu Xianghe lived or died after that had nothing to do with the Six Shanmen. It was all the Heavenly Prison's pot.

Anyway, people died in the Heavenly Prison every three days; just report a list above. As for how people died, the Ministry of Justice generally wouldn't ask. Unless it was someone with a special status.

Liu Xianghe, a local official, was a nameless shrimp in the capital, so the Ministry of Justice naturally wouldn't care about his life or death. Wu Bantou and his gang also grasped this point and acted unscrupulously, not afraid of the Heavenly Prison holding them accountable at all.

It was the original prison cell.

Wu Bantou was almost angry to death; the Six Shanmen threw him a dying person, which meant that Liu Xianghe occupied one of his death quotas for this month. Extremely unlucky! He didn't get a cent, and he had to worry about transporting the corpse and cleaning the prison cell to remove the bad luck.

"Chen Yucheng, this matter of Liu Xianghe cannot be counted on me. He was tortured to death by the Six Shanmen."

"The person isn't dead yet; why are you shouting so loudly? Don't worry, it won't be counted on you. How many quotas do you have left under your hand this month?"

"Just two left."

The death quota is cleared at the end of every month to prevent people from messing around.

Of course, the best situation is for no one to die.

"With two left, what are you afraid of? Don't mess around, and no one will die."

"It's not accurate in this heat. I'm not afraid of anything else, just afraid that some convicted officials have weak bodies and can't hold on."

In the environment of the Heavenly Prison, living in it all year round, unless they are martial artists, ordinary people's bodies will only get worse and worse. Sometimes a small illness or pain will take their lives; these are unavoidable.

On the contrary, deaths caused by being secretly schemed against and framed are a minority.

Setting a death quota is to hope that prison guards will be a little more attentive when on duty and not be so perfunctory. If they should ask for a medical officer, ask for one; if they should give medicine, don't be stingy. If fewer people die, it looks better above, and life below is easier.

Chen Guanlou instructed, "You tell your people to be more attentive and not just know how to gamble all day long. This time I'm going out, and it might take a month to go back and forth. When I return, I hope the Yi-sized prison remains the same."

"Chen Yucheng, don't worry; I will definitely manage the little cubs below well. Small gambling is for fun. Whoever dares to gamble big, I will unload their arms." Wu Bantou had always been fawning to those above and bullying those below, cowardly and fierce. He had many schemes, but his actual courage was limited.

Chen Guanlou had privately warned Wang Bantou to keep an eye on Wu Bantou.

Chen Guanlou stood in front of the prison cell.

Mu Yiguan Mu checked Liu Xianghe's injuries, and after checking, he shook his head and whispered to Chen Guanlou, "Medicine has been applied, but it can only stop the pain; it can't save his life."

"How much time is left?"

"It's a matter of tonight. If it's fast, it's only an hour or two."

Chen Guanlou frowned, secretly thinking that the Six Shanmen didn't act properly, and recorded a note against Wu Bantou in his heart.

Mu Yiguan Mu hesitated, but still said, "Don't look at his external injuries as not heavy; in fact, they are all injured in the abdomen. The Six Shanmen have experts in interrogation, and their methods are extremely cruel and cold, truly making people unable to live and unable to die. Liu Xianghe being able to hold on until now is a miracle."

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly, "Perhaps he has unfulfilled wishes, which is why he can hold on until now."

"Possible. The Six Shanmen rarely use cruel methods to interrogate prisoners; this time it is truly rare. Do you know which god Liu Xianghe offended?"

"Where would I know. Liu Xianghe's mouth is like a clam shell; he refuses to say anything, only willing to pay silver for me to help him. This kind of matter, can I help? Definitely not. I don't need to offend Wu Bantou and his gang for him. God knows what grudges they had before. You also know, we in the Heavenly Prison work in this one-third of an acre and generally don't get involved with people outside. The Six Shanmen are different; they handle cases all over the world and contact all kinds of people, humph..."

Chen Guanlou didn't speak clearly. Everyone is in this industry and knows each other well.

The Six Shanmen are definitely not clean.

There are no clean people in officialdom.

The Six Shanmen's lack of cleanliness is different from the Embroidered Uniform Guard next door. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is upward, only responsible to the palace. The Six Shanmen is downward, contacting a wider and more mixed range of people.

In short, they are all messy accounts.

Mu Yiguan Mu understood, better than anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease staying in the Heavenly Prison as an inconspicuous medical officer. With his medical skills, being an imperial physician would be more than enough. But that pool of water is too deep, and he is afraid of drowning. Being a small medical officer, occasionally going out to see patients and sell medicine, life is much more comfortable than being an imperial physician, and there is no threat to his life.

It's just that the environment is a bit worse.

"The Six Shanmen's approach this time is very abnormal; be careful."

"Is it really that serious?"

"The Six Shanmen used the Embroidered Uniform Guard's methods this time; do you say it's abnormal?"

The Six Shanmen's methods of questioning people are much gentler than the Embroidered Uniform Guard's. Even when facing Jianghu scum, beating people until they are bruised and battered is about enough; if it's more serious, they can just kill them on the spot. Only the Embroidered Uniform Guard likes to abuse and kill, likes to abuse prisoners, with strange methods—only things you can't think of, nothing they can't do.

Chen Guanlou nodded; saying it like this, it was indeed abnormal.

Mu Yiguan Mu didn't want to get involved, and after reminding him a few words, he left with his medicine box.

Chen Guanlou entered the prison cell, flipped through Liu Xianghe's eyelids, and probed his breath. The breath was weak, and he was just one last breath away from death.

"Master Liu, you heard the medical officer's words; at the latest, you will be dead tonight. If you have any last words, hurry up and say them. Our Heavenly Prison is a place with human touch; as long as it's not an excessive request, we will usually satisfy the requests of those about to die.

Hurry up and say it; after you finish, I will arrange for a handyman to guard you, and when you close your breath, I will transport you out. It's so hot; if the corpse stays for a day, it will stink. Is your family in the capital? Forget it, I will notify your residence's manager later and let the manager prepare early, preparing your burial clothes and coffin. After they sign and press their fingerprints above, you can take your remains back to your hometown for burial."

"Chen... Yucheng."

"I'm here!"

I don't know where Liu Xianghe got the strength, but he grabbed Chen Guanlou's sleeve, "I... I... I... want... revenge..."

"Don't come to me for revenge." Chen Guanlou slowly grabbed the other party's hand and pried the fingers open one by one.

"You... don't... understand!"

"I don't need to understand the dealings between you. Everyone is not clean; you lost, it's your bad luck, the other party is more skilled. You must admit it!"

"I don't admit it!" Liu Xianghe was full of indignation, "I... have money, I can give you money, all the money is yours, help me get revenge."

"Leave the money to your family." Chen Guanlou tapped lightly on Liu Xianghe's forehead, and the other party closed his eyes unwillingly, falling into a coma. ===== CHAPTER 376 =====
