Chapter 45: Raiding the house

Master Du wiped the cold sweat on his forehead frequently.

"You are too scary."

Chen Guanlou suggested: "When Master Du sees the eldest master, you might as well mention what I said today. If the eldest house is still like before, even if I want to flatter the eldest house, the situation won't allow it."

"Do you really think the eldest house's affairs were done by the old lady? This is impossible. If she really wanted to move, when the eldest master was young, why didn't she move?"

Chen Guanlou laughed, just like making up a story, saying casually: "At that time, the old Marquis was still there, she had to be a virtuous wife. Besides, the eldest master was early sealed as the heir, she didn't see the opportunity, why dirty her own hands. And, at that time, she still had a mother-in-law managing her, I guess she wanted to move but didn't have the opportunity.

Now the situation is different, the old Marquis is gone, the eldest master has a lame leg, people's ambition will change with time. Things that didn't dare to be thought of before, it's not too much to think about now, it's not too much to take a little action carefully. As the most respected person in the Marquis Prefecture, wanting more is not too much."

Master Du shook his head frequently, and still didn't want to believe it.

He studied books all his life, read benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, read that women should be suitable for home and room, read men's books, and also looked at men's world. Regarding women, he didn't understand. In his eyes, women were just like that, giving birth to children, teaching children. To say that women are very smart, very scheming, he didn't believe it. It's also possible that he didn't want to admit that some women are really smart, have schemes, and can play men around.

"Just take it as me talking nonsense." Chen Guanlou saw Master Du's appearance of being deeply stimulated, and thought it was better to say less. The affairs of the Marquis Prefecture's inner courtyard had nothing to do with him.

Whether the eldest house benefits, or the second house wins, it has no conflict with him. Even if the house is raided and the clan is destroyed, it won't be his turn. Exterminating three clans, he didn't even have the qualification to be on the list.

He just felt that the eldest house was too unlucky, once or twice could be called a coincidence, three times it was definitely not a coincidence. Especially, a Marquis, with countless people serving him, could actually break his leg? Didn't break his leg when he was young and vigorous, but broke his leg when he was old and steady?

If there was no human factor here, then the novels, TV, and movies of so many years were all watched in vain.

The ancients just saw too little, received too little information, didn't experience information bombardment, didn't or didn't dare to think in that direction.

He, a bystander, naturally opened his brain holes to his heart's content.

If he were the old lady, would he use some means to erode and destroy the eldest house step by step?

Yes!

He definitely would.

He wants to leave the best for his own son, regardless of right or wrong, only position.

A meal of wine gave Master Du a psychological shadow, a healthy heart.

The culprit Chen Guanlou didn't care about the aftermath, ate, slept, and continued to work the next day.

As soon as he arrived at the Heavenly Prison, he heard the news of the Jin family's house being raided.

He arrived at Cell 72 and stood in front of the cell door.

Today, the one surnamed Jin was not reading, I guess he also knew the news of his family being raided. His treatment was maintained, and it didn't decrease because of the house raid; there were still bed boards and books in the cell, just no pen, ink, paper, or inkstone.

"Official Jin, think openly." Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, "You handed over the silver, as long as the higher-ups don't speak, I won't make things difficult for you."

He was not a person who crosses the river and tears down the bridge. As long as conditions allowed, he was willing to keep his promise, willing to be a person who keeps his promise.

What he believes in is taking money and doing things. Take how much money, do how much work.

Official Jin heard the movement and slowly raised his head, stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. He first said "ah," then said: "Chen Tou rest assured, the old man will not think of not opening, and will not commit suicide."

This is what you said yourself.

"I believe Official Jin." Chen Guanlou put the focus on the word "believe," hoping the other party could also keep his promise and not turn the cell into a crime scene.

He had just arrived, and was really worried about whether he could bear the consequences of the official under his jurisdiction committing suicide. He didn't want to give Prison Clerk Wan an opportunity to clean him up.

Although the swordsman helped him warn Prison Clerk Wan, it didn't mean this could be done once and for all. What if one day Prison Clerk Wan had a new reliance, and the first thing he did was settle accounts after the autumn?

Therefore, try not to leave handles, and don't give people the opportunity to accuse themselves of being incompetent and poorly managed.

He sincerely hoped that Official Jin could be well and persist until the day of sentencing. At that time, whether he lived or died, it was the court's business and had nothing to do with him.

"How is my family? They didn't say." Official Jin asked.

Chen Guanlou told him, "Your family is under surveillance, temporarily no harm. Six Shanmen does things, at least they will leave some room."

Unlike the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who often staged a "cut off the family" plan, leaving no room at all. This was also one of the reasons why Six Shanmen's reputation was better than the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Official Jin heard this, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed, "Locked in the Heavenly Prison, it seems it's still a good thing."

"Official Jin can think this way, it's right. Don't dare to say anything else, the prison guards of our Heavenly Prison still have a bottom line and principles."

Official Jin was majestic, smiled, as if he had heard a funny joke.

Chen Guanlou was unhappy, what, didn't agree with his words. If he had no bottom line, no principles, he would have someone remove the bed board today, take the books, and directly give him swill to drink, starving him for three days and nine meals first.

"Chen Tou seems a bit different from other squad leaders."

Chen Guanlou loved hearing this, and said solemnly: "Although I just arrived, I also have my own ideas."

Official Jin nodded slightly, "Being with the dust can be long-lasting, being unique is a big taboo."

"Does Official Jin think I am unique?"

"In total, you look different from other prison guards, more spirited than them." Official Jin pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to show a smile, showing he was harmless, but failed. At the moment, he only had a stiff face, which was really hard to smile.

Chen Guanlou understood: "Perhaps because I am too young, so I look different from other prison guards, more spirited than them."

"Yes, you are more spirited than other prison guards. Wine, lust, wealth, and anger, but if you are contaminated with one, you will eventually ruin your own cultivation. The prison guards of the Heavenly Prison are all full of four poisons, each with a tired face, listless, only when mentioning silver will their eyes shine. But you are different, are you practicing martial arts?"

"Practiced two fake moves, to fool people." Chen Guanlou admitted generously.

"No wonder, looking spirited. Practicing martial arts is good. The old man couldn't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts back then, so he chose the imperial examination path, to be a clear and noble scholar. But I didn't expect to be trapped in prison in the end, implicating the family."

Official Jin had many feelings today, and it seemed he could talk to Chen Guanlou, so he talked more. ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
