Chapter 677: Not Even Letting a Dog Go

Zheng Daochong was very angry, angry enough to want to kill.

A small Jiang Jiang Yucheng dared to brush off his face.

If it weren't for falling out with the Ministry of Justice, he wouldn't need to lower his status to ask a Jiang Jiang Yucheng to handle things. Giving face but not wanting it.

If it weren't for his unstable foundation in the capital and limited time of operation, not having time to mix sand into the sieve-like Heavenly Prison, he wouldn't need to hold money in both hands and ask people to help.

Yet he refused his request; how unreasonable.

"Did Chen Guanlou know the Wu family before?"

"Reporting to my master, according to understanding, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen and the Wu family have had no dealings before this."

"Then why does he want to protect the Wu family, protect the Seventh Master Wu?"

"I don't understand either. Could it be that he thinks the money is too little?" The steward tried to answer.

Zheng Daochong snorted coldly, "Too little money? Not satisfied with several thousand taels of silver; when did the Heavenly Prison's appetite become so big. This silver, taken to any big prison in the capital, would be unimpeded. What qualifications does Chen Guanlou have to dislike the money being too little? Don't mention martial arts cultivation to me. Since he is in the officialdom and eating the court's rice, he must keep the rules of the officialdom."

The steward said yes repeatedly, and then cautiously said, "Perhaps it is because of the Ministry of Justice."

"I fell out with the Ministry of Justice; what does it have to do with him?" Zheng Daochong was half-dead with anger.

He fought for the top in the Profound Heaven Sect, paid all the prices he could pay, and worked hard to climb up. Those sufferings and tiredness, not forgetting to take the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, the hardship of which is unimaginable.

What was it for?

It was to have a day of revenge.

The Seventh Master Wu was the culprit.

As early as before entering the Profound Heaven Sect, he swore that he must let the Seventh Master Wu be cut into a thousand pieces and die without a burial place. He wanted to let the Wu family be broken and people die, and the nine clans executed.

He did it!

The Wu family is completely finished!

Execution of nine clans!

Not even letting a dog go.

Only the Seventh Master Wu, well-kept in the Heavenly Prison, eating and drinking well every day, not suffering punishment.

Upon learning this news, he was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Why?

A person who is about to die, why can he still live well. By then, just walk to the execution ground, behead, and die! Die fast and steadily, without suffering any pain.

He is unconvinced!

The Ministry of Justice doesn't give him face, and he doesn't count on the Six Shanmen, so he lowers his status and goes directly to the Heavenly Prison. Those prison guards are all greedy people; if he smashes several thousand taels, he doesn't believe he can't buy people.

Yet the thing he was sure of encountered an unimaginable refusal.

Thinking that his perfect revenge plan, which he had dreamed of, was about to encounter a fatal blow in Chen Guanlou's hands, Zheng Daochong's blood surged, and for a time, there were signs of going into devilry.

The steward was so scared he didn't dare to make a sound, hurriedly taking out medicinal pills.

Zheng Daochong took the medicinal pills, struggled to suppress the surging blood, adjusted his breath for half an hour, and barely improved.

The steward was very worried, cautiously reminding, "The Imperial Physician has ordered that my master's illness needs to cultivate one's nature and broaden one's mood."

"Wait until I have taken revenge, and naturally I will be able to cultivate my nature. By then, I will be more benevolent than anyone, and everyone will look pleasing to the eye."

The steward didn't believe a word of it.

What kind of temper his master has, he knows better than anyone. Calling him irritable is not an exaggeration. Over the years, he has learned to cover up, but his irritable and angry nature has not changed. People are becoming more and more suppressed. The martial arts cultivation pushed up by medicinal pills back then has now become a bomb, likely to backlash at any time.

Relying on medicinal pills to suppress the irritability in his heart, in the long run, I'm afraid...

The steward didn't dare to think deeply.

"No matter what, I must persuade Chen Guanlou to accept my benefits."

"What if he still refuses to agree?"

"Then find a way to persuade him!"

Zheng Daochong gritted his teeth and spat out the two words 'persuade'.

"In the last period of the Seventh Master Wu's life, he must not be allowed to have a good time; he must be made to live a life worse than death. If he lives well, I will not be able to sleep or eat, suffering day and night. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The steward of the Zheng mansion again held silver money and came to the Heavenly Prison, asking Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to do a favor.

"No need to specifically take care of the Wu family, just send the Seventh Master Wu into the torture room, and my master will definitely be grateful. This is a little bit of my master's heart, I hope Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen will not dislike it."

Chen Guanlou didn't even look at the silver notes in the wooden box, sneering, "Zheng Daochong is really narrow-minded, holding a grudge for everything. The hatred of so many years ago, destroying the whole family of the person involved is not enough, and he still wants to make the Seventh Master Wu live a life worse than death before he is willing to stop. Such a person who loves to hold a grudge, I refused him last time, steward, he won't have already held a grudge against me, right."

The steward was very embarrassed, laughing awkwardly, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is joking."

"Such a paranoid person, if I don't agree to him, what will he do next? Let me guess, he will take my soft spot to threaten me? My only soft spot is my eldest sister and several nephews. I didn't guess wrong, right."

The steward of the Zheng mansion was pale, denying it repeatedly.

Chen Guanlou looked at the steward's performance with a smile that was not a smile, "You guess, will I give Zheng Daochong a chance? A person who holds a grudge against me, you say why should I help him. Just for these few points of silver? Do I lack this silver to eat?"

"What must Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen do to be willing to help?"

"Why should I help?" Chen Guanlou asked back, "Go back and tell Zheng Daochong, I look down on him, dislike him, so I won't take his silver, and I won't help him do anything.

The Heavenly Prison will receive this order; whoever dares to take the Zheng family's silver will roll out of the Heavenly Prison. This bowl of rice in the Heavenly Prison is still very precious to the prison guards. So don't delusionally try to hit the prison guards' ideas.

Also, if you dare to move a hair of my eldest sister and nephews, if you dare to move my brother-in-law's family, I will make the Zheng family die out, not even a dog left! I mean what I say!"

"You you you..." The steward was scared out of his wits.

Chen Guanlou sneered, "A mere Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a mere close official of the Son of Heaven, a mere disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, so what if I kill him! Others dare not provoke, I dare! Others dare not kill, I dare to kill! Others dare not exterminate the Zheng family, I will exterminate them! I can be an enemy of the Jixia Academy, so what is a mere Zheng family!"

Harsh words don't need to be spoken loudly.

Spoken lightly, as long as these words come from Chen Guanlou's mouth, even if he uses the most understated tone, it is enough to deter everyone.

The steward of the Zheng mansion was scared pale, his face gray.

What else can he say!

Hold the money and roll away!

The other party completely saw through his own master's reality; the death threat of a Ninth-Rank martial artist has never been just talk, and it is possible to realize it at any time.

When he tremblingly and fearfully repeated Chen Guanlou's threatening words to Zheng Daochong, all his strength was used up, and he had to lean against the wall to stand firm.

"Master, let this matter go! The Wu family is already finished, completely finished. Broken family and people died, nine clans executed! Master's hatred from back then has already been reported. Why persist in the details."

Zheng Daochong was also pale, "Did Chen Guanlou really say he would exterminate my Zheng family?"

"Yes! I dare not have a word of falsehood. He said, if you dare to move his eldest sister's family, lose a hair, he will exterminate the Zheng family, not even letting a dog go." ===== CHAPTER 678 =====
