Chapter 461: Not humiliation, but decency

~8 min read 1,459 words

The first day of the second lunar month is also the last day of the Great Ming Prince in the world.

According to the requirements above, Chen Guanlou arranged for prison guards to wash the Great Ming Prince. After changing the water three times, he finally washed the Great Ming Prince white.

After eating the last meal, which is also the most sumptuous meal, he has to stop eating and drinking.

"This is also for your own good. Think about it, that is lingering death. If because of fear, you shit and pee, although the onlookers suffer, the person who really loses face is you. You are the dignified Great Ming Prince, the leader of the rebels in the world, the first person to shout to overthrow the imperial court, how can you have such shameful performance. Stopping eating and drinking is right; fundamentally speaking, it is to maintain your face."

The Great Ming Prince bit the chicken leg, his face gloomy, wanting to say something, but finally chose to close his mouth.

Chen Guanlou told him again, "Tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, all the civil and military officials will attend, and there are many onlookers. Have you thought about what kind of face you will face? If you continue to look gloomy like today, people will only treat you as a lost dog. This matter concerns your lifelong reputation, you must think clearly."

Chen Guanlou used his three-inch tongue to do ideological work for the Great Ming Prince. He must let the Great Ming Prince step on the last journey with a full posture.

The Great Ming Prince finished gnawing a chicken leg, wiped his hands, and said: "I, the Great Ming Prince, stand upright, how can I be afraid because of lingering death, and it is even more impossible to have the situation you worry about."

"The body sometimes cannot be controlled." Chen Guanlou said the truth, "This last meal, I advise you to eat seven or eight points full, don't eat too much, so as not to lose face."

The Great Ming Prince snorted coldly, the fragrant food instantly became tasteless, and his whole person felt depressed.

"Chen prison guard, you really know how to ruin the mood. You don't even let me eat more, this is my last meal."

"It is precisely because it is your last meal that I want you to be decent. And, I haven't mistreated you on weekdays, why are you like a starving ghost."

Chen Guanlou is sincerely thinking about the Great Ming Prince, not fooling him.

That is lingering death; not many people can control the instinctive reaction of the body, even if it is a person of great perseverance, it has used up all the strength of the whole body to bite the teeth and persist without screaming in the later stage. Some inevitable physiological reactions have already been taken care of.

If it were just going to the execution ground to suffer lingering death, Chen Guanlou wouldn't say so much. But the Great Ming Prince is going to the altar, so it's better to be decent, and everyone looks good on the surface. Even if he dies, he must die decently, instead of being filthy and not in line with the identity of the first rebel in the world.

"Don't eat, don't eat!" The Great Ming Prince felt low, ate half full, and lost his appetite. Even though they were all the meals he loved.

It can be seen that he still cares about face and listened to Chen Guanlou's words.

Stopping eating and drinking, it turns out it was for this. Not to humiliate him.

Heh!

It turns out he thought wrong from the beginning.

He looked up at Chen Guanlou. "What else is there later?"

"Tomorrow morning, you have to wash again to ensure the body is clean. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, say them out, there will be no chance after tonight."

"My wishes, doesn't the Chen prison guard know them all. I just want you to inherit my great cause and find me a woman to pass on the lineage."

"These two things are out of the question." Chen Guanlou sternly refused. "Nothing else, I'll go first. The prison guards will take good care of you. If there is any accident, remember to call loudly. You have a little movement here, and the prison guards can hear it."

"Know, know, you hurry up and go. Really nagging. On the last day, the ears can't be quiet."

Chen Guanlou nodded and walked out of the big prison.

He called Xiao Jin and asked quietly, "How did you prepare the things I asked you to prepare before?"

Xiao Jin was shocked when he heard this, and said with a trace of fear: "Official, this is already the last day, nothing will happen. I will guard the prison door tonight. The preparations made before, I guess they won't be used."

"What if? Do you know what despair is, do you know what a last-minute kick is? Walking ninety-nine steps out of a hundred, but falling on the last step, similar things are everywhere, don't have any fluke. The preparations that should be made must be sufficient."

Chen Guanlou did not hesitate to speculate on some people with the greatest malice; the last night is the craziest.

Just in case, he asked Xiao Jin to prepare a substitute. Once the Great Ming Prince has an accident, the substitute will immediately top it, replacing the peach with the plum, there is no need to let outsiders know the truth.

As for the Great Ming Prince's appearance, hehe... Except for the Ministry of Justice, only those few from the Embroidered Uniform Guard have seen the Great Ming Prince. Moreover, it was when the Great Ming Prince was full of embarrassment, with a beard and stubble. This also gave Chen Guanlou a chance to fake it.

Xiao Jin hurriedly said: "Official rest assured, the person is hidden in the small courtyard, the figure is not to say exactly the same as the Great Ming Prince, anyway, look from a slightly further distance, can't see the difference. As for the appearance, at least four or five points are similar."

"Willing?"

"Give enough silver, willing."

"This is lingering death."

"Got a disease, not much life left. And, preventive measures were taken. As long as you survive the first few knives, you will faint directly later."

Xiao Jin is also an old oil in the Heavenly Prison.

He knows the basic operations of the Heavenly Prison like the back of his hand. Even more cautious and meticulous than Lu Datou, ensuring that there are no handles.

Chen Guanlou nodded, which was considered recognition of Xiao Jin's arrangement. He had never publicly seen that substitute, but he had secretly seen it once privately, and it was indeed several points similar to the Great Ming Prince. In order to ensure the similarity, the person was locked in the room, not seeing the sun, eating and drinking according to the Great Ming Prince's recipe every day, raising white and fat, with a kind of paleness that has not seen the sun for a long time.

For some crazy people, Chen Guanlou never holds any fluke. Making more preparations is the means of saving his life. Relying on the conscience of the people above is not as good as relying on himself.

That night, the guards of the Heavenly Prison increased by a double, and the prison guards guarding the Great Ming Prince also increased by a double. The whole night was brightly lit, not letting go of any dead corner.

In the middle of the night, there was movement outside, seemingly the sound of fighting. The prison guards didn't move.

They had received orders in advance: even if it rained knives, even if the sky fell, everyone was to hold their post and must not leave. They stared fixedly at the Great Ming Prince, not missing a single trace of anything.

Chen Guanlou guarded on the roof of the Heavenly Prison, holding a standard-issue waist saber in his hand.

He had already repelled three waves of people.

Sure enough, crazy enough.

He counted the time, looking at the sky without the moon, and was in the mood to whistle. The brisk whistling sound was particularly unique on this night.

Around the Heavenly Prison, it always felt like people were moving, very restless.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard next door was like dead, without any movement.

He snorted coldly, knowing clearly that the Embroidered Uniform Guard wanted to fall into the well and pick up leaks by the way.

Want to pick up leaks, have to see if he is willing to give the opportunity. ===== CHAPTER 462 =====
