Chapter 408: Must Have a Plan

Chen Guanlou had just drunk half a cup of tea and eaten two pieces of snacks when a beautiful maid invited him to the study, saying the heir had been waiting for a long time.

He swept a glance at the maid's beautiful face, then followed her to the study without looking sideways.

The heir's study and the old Marquis's study had very different styles.

The old Marquis's study appeared heavy, with not many ornaments, but every piece was a treasure.

The heir's study was very transparent, with special designs for lighting, and various decorations were mainly gorgeous, not just pursuing fame and value.

The tables and chairs were also mainly for comfort, not quite like the style of a military general. It was a bit of youthful spirit, a manifestation of young people loving enjoyment.

He silently calculated the age; the heir should be seven or eight years older than him.

Upon meeting, he saw an ancient version of a "tycoon." He had a small mustache, was meticulous from head to toe, and didn't have a single piece of jewelry. Even the head crown was just a very ordinary gold crown, not the jade crown popular at the time. He didn't hang a purse, didn't wear a jade pendant, and had no thumb ring on his hand.

From head to toe, he exuded the word "serious."

This is a military general!

The first time Chen Guanlou saw the other party, his first impression was just that. A living military general, a military general who was born in a noble family, had trained in the military for many years, and had both the nobility of a noble son and the meticulous style cultivated in the military. Perfectly integrated together.

Completely opposite to the old Marquis's style of being unrestrained, seeing through the world, and being wild and uninhibited.

However, one could still see from the two faces that they were a father and son. The facial features were very similar, but the temperament was very different.

"Seen the heir!" Chen Guanlou performed the upper and lower salute.

"Brother Lou, no need to be polite. You and I are brothers, just treat this place as your own home."

Chen Guanfu appeared serious, but his speech was quite polite and gentle.

"Brother Lou, please sit."

"Many thanks, heir."

Chen Guanlou sat on the right side.

"The head steward has mentioned you many times in my ears, and I felt curious, so I invited you over to chat." Chen Guanfu got straight to the point, stating the reason very directly. Sure enough, he was a military general, speaking and doing things very directly.

Chen Guanlou suddenly realized.

He said, he was just a small person, how could he suddenly enter the heir's eyes. It turned out to be the head steward's recommendation.

The head steward is truly "tireless in teaching."

"Last time's mission, you completed it very well, saving us a lot of trouble."

"Does the heir mean the last mission of escorting prisoners and goods? This matter is not worth mentioning, and I also relied on the prestige of the Heavenly Prison, as well as the Marquis Prefecture secretly clearing the joints everywhere, to go so smoothly."

Chen Guanfu laughed upon hearing this: "Brother Lou, you don't have to be so humble. I have always been one is one, two is two. If it is your credit, it is your credit, and no one can take it away. The so-called prestige, the so-called clearing the joints, ultimately depends on people. Finding the right person, half the effort with twice the result. Finding the wrong person, sigh... don't talk about these. Today is the first time our brothers meet, let's get to know each other first, and come and go more often when we are familiar in the future. If you have anything, come directly to me, and I will stand up for you."

"Many thanks, heir!" Chen Guanlou thanked him sincerely. He liked dealing with straightforward people. Even if what the other party showed was not the real side, at least the atmosphere of this conversation was harmonious and harmonious.

Chen Guanfu continued: "I heard from the head steward that you are dead set on staying in the Heavenly Prison to work and refuse to enter officialdom. You don't have to be in a hurry; everyone has their own aspirations, and I believe you have your own reasons for staying in the Heavenly Prison. That place, the Heavenly Prison... speaking of which, it is also a treasure trove, depending on whether you know how to use it. Clearly, you are a smart person. I won't persuade you to leave the Heavenly Prison; if you want to stay, continue to stay there. If anyone makes things difficult for you or deliberately frames you, I allow you to borrow the name of the Marquis Prefecture to fight back. If you are unable to do so, you can seek help from the Marquis Prefecture. This is my promise to you as the heir."

Huh?

He must have had good luck today; one after another, they were rushing to release goodwill toward him. Good people!

"The heir treats me like this, I am deeply grateful. If the heir has any instructions, just order."

Chen Guanlou firmly believed that there was no free lunch in the world.

Chen Guanfu released goodwill toward him, so he couldn't be planning nothing.

What did he have that was worth the Marquis Prefecture's heir planning? Could it be that he wanted him to transport goods a second time? Or were there related characters imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison that needed his extra care?

Chen Guanfu stared at him.

Chen Guanlou held the teacup, pretending to drink tea.

The Marquis Prefecture's tea was delicious; the tea brewed from top-grade tea was not worse than the Emperor's, and even better. After all, the supplier didn't have to worry about being executed by the Marquis Prefecture if they couldn't supply the goods.

"The rebel Great Ming Prince will be arriving in the capital soon, right?" Chen Guanfu was silent for a moment, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a big case and a big character, a rebel who attracted the attention of the whole world.

Chen Guanlou's heart jumped; sure enough, he knew there was no free lunch. Sure enough, there was a plan.

He didn't feel surprised, and even less angry; he had a sense of relief that it had finally come.

Just like him, he wouldn't be good to someone for no reason; there must be give and take, and the value worth helping. Money is the most intuitive standard of measurement.

Occasionally doing good deeds is just a small matter done by the way. For example, giving a bun to a beggar on the street, how big a deal can it be.

"According to the distance, it will arrive in the capital in three days." Chen Guanlou said truthfully.

"Has the Heavenly Prison made preparations?"

Chen Guanlou nodded: "Specially modified a cell to ensure the prisoner's personal safety."

"Yes, ensuring the prisoner's safety is the top priority. Next spring, the Emperor wants to use the rebel Great Ming Prince's flesh and blood to sacrifice to heaven, and the prisoner cannot have any mistakes."

Chen Guanlou was speculating, what exactly did the Marquis Prefecture want to do? If they wanted him to execute the rebel Great Ming Prince, there was no need to be so troublesome. The person was caught by the old Marquis; if they wanted to kill him, the old Marquis could completely execute him on the battlefield, without any future troubles. No need to wait until they arrived in the capital to do this.

Release?

Also unnecessary.

Releasing people on the battlefield is simpler than killing. The reason is the same as above; no need to delay until the capital to engage in this matter.

Then what else?

Adding blockage to the old Emperor!

In an instant, Chen Guanlou seemed to have his soul enlightened; he grasped the impulse of a flash of inspiration.

Adding blockage to the old Emperor, how to add blockage?

Chen Guanlou was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little eager to try. Completely without the consciousness of carrying the black pot. Nor did he consider the consequences of this matter.

Chen Guanfu was weighing and balancing: "After the rebel Great Ming Prince arrives in the capital, take good care of him, don't wrong him. If necessary, try to satisfy his requirements. The silver required will be borne by the Marquis Prefecture."

Huh?

Chen Guanlou asked one sentence: "Is this the old Marquis's meaning, or your meaning, heir?"

"Is there a difference?"

"There is still a little difference."

"Tell me to listen."

"If it is the old Marquis's meaning, could it be that the old Marquis is thinking of the friendship of fighting for so many years? If it is the heir's meaning, I have to think deeper."

Chen Guanfu suddenly laughed out loud, his eyes full of deep meaning: "You just think deeper, think however you want. You can even write down your thoughts and tell me, the heir." ===== CHAPTER 409 =====
