Chapter 436: If I could be an official, I could go rebel

After sending Su Zishi away, Chen Guanlou was in a good mood and wanted to find someone to chat with.

As he strolled along, he arrived in front of Xie Changling's prison door.

"Lord Xie, your words are inaccurate. I see that Su Zishi is quite easy to deal with; he even specially sent a batch of cotton clothes as compensation. Unlike some people, who are iron roosters that don't pull out a single hair."

Xie Changling was eating meat and drinking wine.

Eating very elegantly.

The money Su Zishi sent was specifically designated to provide Xie Changling with wine and meat.

Xie Changling wiped his hands directly on his robe, not caring at all. In the conditions of the Heavenly Prison, even if one wanted to be particular, one couldn't be.

"He is just good at disguising."

"You are clearly slandering. I think you are just jealous."

"I would be jealous of him? What does he have that is worth my jealousy? His whole family died, and he became Princess Qingyang's plaything." Xie Changling sneered, his attitude arrogant. He didn't even think that the meat he was eating and the wine he was drinking were all paid for by Su Zishi's money.

"Lord Xie, today I learned that you are actually a petty person. You just finished chatting with Su Zishi and are enjoying the wine and meat he provided, yet you are gossiping behind his back. Tsk tsk..."

Chen Guanlou made an indescribable expression, exceptionally disgusted.

Xie Changling sneered, "Then do you know what he came to find me for? Saying it out loud could scare you to death. You haven't seen his true face, but I have; I know better than you what kind of person he is. Back then, when he first arrived at the Princess's Mansion, many people couldn't stand him. Do you guess what happened? Those who made things difficult for him and mocked him back then, the grass on their graves is now as tall as a person. And he, however, became the existence under one person in the Princess's Mansion. This is also called easy to get along with? I truly didn't expect, Prison Clerk Chen, that you would be such a superficial person."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. "Then tell me, what did he say to you?"

"I can't tell you." Xie Changling refused explicitly. "Actually, even if I told you, after you heard it, you would definitely regret it. Some things are better known the less, the better. By the way, that Great Ming Prince is still alive, right."

"Alive, living quite well."

"As long as he's alive."

"Only if he's alive can the Heavenly Prison be peaceful from top to bottom."

"Do you mean Su Zishi came to chat with you about the Great Ming Prince?" Chen Guanlou guessed boldly.

Xie Changling shook his head repeatedly. "I didn't say that. Believe me, Su Zishi's appearance has strong deceptive qualities; he is accustomed to acting to please people, and you are simply no match for him. Don't have any contact with him in the future. However, normally speaking, you and he shouldn't have any chance to meet again."

Chen Guanlou said "um um," noncommittally.

Whether Su Zishi is acting, is it important?

Not important at all.

If he has the ability to act for a lifetime, that is what is called impressive.

Xie Changling is just jealous, a kind of strange jealousy.

"Lord Xie, I found that you are truly petty."

"Prison Clerk Chen, if you can't speak, then don't." Xie Changling put on an attitude of not wanting to continue chatting.

Chen Guanlou left happily and went to visit the Great Ming Prince.

When the Great Ming Prince saw him, he was so excited, his eyes so fiery.

Although Chen Guanlou was already immune, he still had strong discomfort; he really wanted to open the Great Ming Prince's skull and see what kind of things were inside.

"Prison Clerk Chen, rebel! Rebellion is the path you should take; everything else is a dead end."

"Get lost!"

The Great Ming Prince walked to the prison door, panting with every step, grabbing the prison bars tightly. "Prison Clerk Chen, just take it as pitying me. I won't live much longer; I'll die by the time spring comes. Facing a dying person, do you really have to be so heartless."

"Yes! I am a person without feelings."

"No feelings is good. Rebellion must have no feelings; one must be ruthless enough and climb up by stepping on thousands of withered bones. Prison Clerk Chen, you were born to do this line of work; you are clearly in the wrong line of work now."

The Great Ming Prince was heartbroken; what a good seedling for rebellion, yet he hadn't even stepped into the great cause of rebellion and already had the basic program and goal plan. With a little cultivation, he would be a heaven-chosen rebel.

Why couldn't he figure out why he wanted to be a prison clerk!

A waste of heaven's gifts!

He wanted to save the lost lamb, save the people who were currently in deep water and scorching heat.

"Are you done acting? One by one, you are quite good at acting. If you are so good at acting, why don't you go sing in a play? Great Ming Prince, you are the one truly in the wrong line of work. You should take the Imperial Examination, become an official; the officialdom is the place for you to perform."

The Great Ming Prince suddenly looked ferocious. "If I could be an official, I could go rebel? Prison Clerk Chen, you are stabbing me in the heart. If my parents could have saved some family foundation for me, I would have gone to the yamen to serve long ago. When I was young, I actually had an opportunity to serve, but the other party wanted five taels of silver. But I couldn't take it out.

Just because of five taels of silver, from then on I missed the opportunity to sell my life to the imperial court. But it doesn't matter; the imperial court doesn't cherish me selling my life, so I will dig up the roots of the imperial court. Now the entire north is in chaos. Does the old Emperor think that by catching me, everything will be fine? He's dreaming! Guo Dachun is much more capable than me; he comes from the border army and is born to fight wars. I can't dig up the Great Qian's grave, but someone definitely can. You bunch of imperial court running dogs will eat the executioner's meal sooner or later."

"So, I told you to read more books. In any dynasty, one cannot do without Heavenly Prison people, cannot do without prison clerks. Even if the dynasty changes tomorrow, the Heavenly Prison will still be the Heavenly Prison, and the prison clerks will still be the prison clerks. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but our bunch of imperial court running dogs won't eat the executioner's meal."

"Why!" The Great Ming Prince grabbed the bars tightly, angry to the extreme, his heart almost unable to catch his breath.

Chen Guanlou told him to calm down, not to get angry, and to breathe slowly; at least he came back to life.

"Why don't you have to eat the executioner's meal."

"Just because we are a bunch of lowly prison clerks, whoever becomes the Emperor won't care about us, but will instead need us to serve. When the dynasty changes, think about it, how many people will be caught and detained. The Heavenly Prison must be full. Haha, that will be our opportunity to get rich. It's just a pity that you, Great Ming Prince, won't see that time."

"So, if I fought my way into the capital and became the Emperor, would you serve me and eat my food?"

"Wait for your next life." Chen Guanlou teased.

The Great Ming Prince was happy. "So, you were just a little bit away from serving me. Just a little bit!"

"Is that just a little bit?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a face that was broken.

The Great Ming Prince waved his hand; those things were not important.

So it was just a little bit!

He muttered.

"Prison Clerk Chen, why don't you make up for the little bit you're missing, and from today on, you serve in my name, eat my food, and inherit my great cause of rebellion."

Chen Guanlou returned the gesture with his middle finger. Thinking of such a good deal, trying to freeload off him? He must be courting death.

"Great Ming Prince, can you think of something practical? For example, what do you want to eat today, what do you want to eat tomorrow? Before you die, what wishes are unfulfilled? Wishes forget it. Your wishes are not important, no one cares." ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
