Chapter 67: The Way of Shifting Blame is Exceptionally Unique

Chen Guanlou met Young Master Ye for the second time at Sister Chunxiang's house.

Young Master Ye had come to find Young Master Zhao, who was renting a room at Sister Chunxiang's, to arrange to go to a poetry gathering together, and had also promised to introduce Young Master Zhao to the second young master of Zhang Yushi's family.

Young Master Zhao, Zhao Mingqiao, had become familiar with Chen Guanlou since they had drunk wine twice together. Zhao Mingqiao introduced Chen Guanlou to Young Master Ye with great enthusiasm.

"Although Chen Tou is a prison guard, he has also seriously studied books, and his talent is not weak."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Chen Guanlou modestly denied it. He knew his own situation; when it came to writing essays or composing poetry, he was not even as good as the little brats in the private school. His advantage lay in the information gap, in the experience of living two lives, and in the irrigation of countless information from the internet era, which allowed him to often jump out of the limitations of the era when looking at problems. He was not within the five elements, his angle was exceptionally unique, and he often had deafening and enlightening remarks. Because of this, Zhao Mingqiao was exceptionally enthusiastic about him.

This enthusiasm did not infect Young Master Ye.

Young Master Ye came from a family of high officials and held himself in high regard. Being willing to spare a straight look for a small prison guard could already be considered having no airs. How could he really put a prison guard in his eyes?

He nodded reservedly at Chen Guanlou, with no desire to get to know him.

Zhao Mingqiao still wanted to pull him in, letting Young Master Ye know about Chen Guanlou's talent; how beautiful it would be if the three of them sat together and drank wine.

He thought very beautifully, but Young Master Ye was clearly a bit impatient.

Chen Guanlou quickly interrupted Zhao Mingqiao, secretly thinking that Brother Zhao had no eye for the situation. "You are going to the poetry gathering; you should be leaving now, right? If you go late and miss the good show, wouldn't that be a pity? Brother Zhao, Young Master Ye, I won't delay you; I still have things to do at the office."

He cupped his hands and left first.

After leaving Sister Chunxiang's house, Young Master Ye's words reached his ears.

"Brother Zhao, why lower your status by associating with a prison guard? If people find out, it will implicate Brother Zhao in return; wouldn't that be unpleasant? Brother Zhao should stay far away from that man surnamed Chen in the future."

"Chen Tou is also a member of the Chen family." Zhao Mingqiao defended him with one sentence.

Young Master Ye immediately sneered. "There are many people surnamed Chen; not everyone is a member of the Hou Fu Chen family. Which proper member of the Hou Fu Chen family would willingly degenerate to being a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison? His father was at least a prison clerk, but he is even worse, mixing himself into a prison guard; the more he lives, the worse he gets."

"Young Master Ye also knows Chen Tou?"

"His name has long spread throughout the Hou Fu; I live in the Hou Fu, so naturally I have heard of him."

"He is really very talented."

"Since he is talented, why be willing to be a prison guard? His character is so inferior; even if he is truly talented, one should stay far away from him, lest one stain oneself."

As he moved further away, the voice became smaller and smaller, eventually disappearing.

Chen Guanlou chuckled, his expression calm. He wouldn't get angry because of a few words from the man surnamed Ye. Nowadays, everyone in the world looked down on prison guards; if he got angry every time he encountered someone who spoke rudely, he would only need to be angry and furious every day and do nothing else, and time would pass.

He and the man surnamed Ye were clearly people on two different paths; they couldn't be friends, and they couldn't even drink at the same table. For such people, just stay far away. The other party looked down on him, and he was too lazy to give the other party a straight look; from now on, the well water would not interfere with the river water.

The Heavenly Prison was the place where he could roam freely and gracefully.

When he went to the Heavenly Prison to serve, he heard a shocking and astonishing piece of news: Master Kongkong from the Bing-sized prison had escaped from prison.

Master Kongkong's case had been judged.

He had taken out his coffin money to find people to pull strings, and the person who took the money patted his chest and guaranteed that it would be exile at most. If he was lucky, maybe he wouldn't even need to be exiled, and he could get out after being locked up for a few years.

With this guarantee, Master Kongkong sat in prison with peace of mind, waiting for the result.

Never expected that when the case was officially judged, it would be immediate execution. The person who took the money had taken the money, but the matter hadn't been handled.

It was unclear if Master Kongkong was angry, but anyway, after the judgment came down, he didn't say a word and didn't eat. It was the prison guard who delivered the food who discovered something was wrong, and only then did they discover that, damn it, there was no one in the cell, just a dummy wearing clothes. Master Kongkong had long since escaped from prison.

Within a year, three prison escapes had occurred in the Bing-sized prison in succession; this frequency and this bad luck were unmatched.

Seeing that the prisoner was about to go to the execution ground, but the prisoner was gone and couldn't be found, what was to be done?

The Bing-sized prison, from top to bottom, had all gone crazy.

No one thought Master Kongkong would escape at this time. They didn't even know how Master Kongkong had managed to leave the Heavenly Prison without anyone knowing, and it had been hidden for a day or two before being discovered.

Xu Fugui was anxious and angry, with blisters in his mouth. He scolded all the prison guards in the Bing-sized prison. When he was excited, he picked up a stick and beat them.

Regardless of whether they were young prison guards or old hands, they didn't dare to make a sound after being beaten, and they didn't dare to dodge. At this time, no one dared to be the first to stick their neck out; obediently taking the beating was the right thing to do.

Xu Fugui was furious. "If we can't catch the person, we can't fulfill the duty. If the people above want me to die, before I die, I will definitely take all of you with me. One by one, none of you will have it easy, and no one can stay out of it. Especially you, Lu Datou; Zhang Wantong has left, look at what kind of lead you are taking, knowing only to gamble every day. If the people above pursue this, I will be the first to take your head to sacrifice to the flag."

Lu Datou was wronged to death; he hadn't just started gambling today, he had been an old gambler ten years ago. He hadn't been disliked before, but now he was going to be sacrificed to the flag; could they be a little reasonable?

"Xu Tou, there are two days left until the execution day; even if you want to take my head to sacrifice to the flag, you must first overcome the current difficulty. In any case, I am still a little useful."

"Useful my ass. Look at your big head and big butt, what's the use? What's the use?" Xu Fugui kicked him, and Lu Datou consciously fell backward. He had to perform the style of Xu Fugui's unparalleled martial arts and his own serious injury. As a mature prison guard, this was one of the skills that must be mastered.

Essential skills for prison guards include, but are not limited to: gambling, drinking, bragging, making guarantees, and making money.

The most important thing is still making money.

"Tou, I am really useful, really. Replacing the peach with the plum, it will definitely work."

"I work your ancestors."

"Tou, listen to me. That thief Kongkong is best at disguise; who dares to say they have seen the true face of the little thief Kongkong? Who dares to say that the little thief Kongkong seen in the past was showing his true face? Everyone knows that the little thief Kongkong's disguise technique is very mysterious; it is simply a peculiar kung fu that can disguise without external force."

Lu Datou's mind was exceptionally clear at this moment, analyzing this matter very wittily. Since no one dared to say that the face of the little thief Kongkong they saw was his true face, this gave great convenience to replacing the peach with the plum.

You say he is not the little thief Kongkong? Why do you say he is not? How many faces of the little thief Kongkong have you seen? Can you tell which face is his true face?

Having been locked in the Heavenly Prison for so long, we say he is, so he is. Even if the Heavenly King comes, he is still him.

Because this is the Heavenly Prison, and there is a group of responsible and capable prison guards, the prisoner can hardly escape even with wings. ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
