Chapter 69: Staying in the Capital Without Knowing Life or Death

Chen Guanlou met Lu Datou at the main entrance, grabbed him, and pulled him to a secluded corner to talk.

"What's going on? Did Master Kongkong really escape from prison?"

Lu Datou opened his mouth wide and made an "ah" sound, then asked, "You heard about it?"

"Could it be true?"

Lu Datou cursed through gritted teeth: "The little thief Kongkong is afraid of death and used his disguise technique to run out without anyone knowing. He has caused all of us to lose our heads. If I catch him, I will definitely skin him and pull his tendons."

"Where are you going to catch him? There are two days left until the execution, and has the Bing-sized prison discussed a solution?" Chen Guanlou was quite concerned; they were all old colleagues, and he couldn't bear to see everyone die.

Lu Datou had a secret matter hidden in his heart, and facing Chen Guanlou's sincere eyes, he felt a bit guilty. "We will think of a way for this matter; don't worry about it. In short, we won't let things get out of hand."

"A way?" Chen Guanlou stared suspiciously at Lu Datou. He suddenly thought of something, his expression changed abruptly, and he asked in a low voice: "Big Brother Datou, tell me the truth, are you planning to replace the peach with the plum and deceive the heavens to cross the sea?"

"Shh! How did you grow this brain? You just need to know about this matter; don't say it out loud. Such things won't work once spoken out!"

"You guys are really..." Chen Guanlou couldn't blame the other party. Since coming to the Heavenly Prison, his integrity had been shattered, and his bottom line had become lower and lower. Sometimes he even wanted to despise himself.

The situation in the world is like this; it cannot be changed by human power.

Lu Datou felt guilty and innocent. "Little Brother Chen, you are different from us. Can you just pretend you don't know about this matter? Dozens of people in the Bing-sized prison have their heads tied to me. I don't want to either, but if we don't do this, everyone will die."

Chen Guanlou kept a straight face and stared fixedly at Lu Datou. Lu Datou was a bit scared by his stare and muttered: "You won't tell anyone, will you?"

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly: "I don't care how you do it, don't implicate innocent people, and don't force anyone."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, I thought of that long ago. There is no shortage of miserable people in the capital. I will pay enough, and there will always be those who are not afraid of death."

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou could only sigh.

When he was poorest, he still had a house. He and his neighbors, although their days were tight, were actually good small citizens living in the capital. They properly belonged to people with constant property and constant hearts, and were also the main consumer group for the capital's stability and market prosperity.

Truly miserable people have no money, no house, and because of years of hard labor, they have all kinds of illnesses and pains, and they might even owe a lot of debt for seeing doctors and taking medicine. Rent is owed and not paid, and they could be kicked out by the landlord at any time. In winter, people who freeze to death are everywhere.

These people are the true bottom layer of the capital.

Lu Datou's target was this group of people. It was not difficult, but not easy, to find someone among them who was similar in figure to Master Kongkong, had weaknesses and burdens, and whose living was a drag, so they used death to exchange for a better life for their family.

Chen Guanlou let go of Lu Datou and promised him: "I will pretend I don't know about this matter, and I will manage the prison guards under me and tell them not to talk nonsense outside. You hurry up and handle the matter; don't delay. Before dying, at least give the person a full meal; saving a little bit of conscience does no harm."

"Don't worry, Little Brother Chen, we will handle these things without you telling us, and we definitely won't treat the other party badly. We will definitely choose someone who is willing."

"Go."

"Eh!"

Lu Datou hurried away.

Chen Guanlou felt a bit melancholy.

Thinking of Master Kongkong, this thief, without a sound, made a big scene of escaping from prison. The key is that with disguise skills, how difficult it is to find Master Kongkong.

In a bad mood, he went to the brothel to listen to music at night.

He transformed into Boss Guan, changed into brocade clothes in the Nancheng residence, dressed like an out-of-town merchant, came to the flower street and willow alley, and ordered the charming courtesan Susu to accompany him.

The brothel had a new repertoire. Hearing Susu say that they were going to promote a newcomer to compete for the title of flower queen. The new repertoire was actually prepared for the newcomer, first to create momentum and then to promote the person.

"The newcomer bought by Mama from out of town has been locked in the room and won't let us see her. It is said that she has been cultivated since childhood, is proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is beautiful. Next month, she will officially comb her hair. If Boss Guan is interested, you must come then. It will definitely be very lively."

"Is your Mama planning to take the upper-class route? What about you? Don't you have any thoughts?"

"Your concubine is already a broken flower and a willow, how dare I have delusions. Thanks to Boss Guan for not disliking me, and every time you come, you order me, which makes me very moved. Your concubine toasts you, Boss."

Chen Guanlou laughed, drank the wine poured by Susu, and said: "This boss just likes this flavor of yours, Susu, lazy and naturally charming. Other men are blind and don't know how good you are."

Susu giggled, threw herself into Chen Guanlou's arms, her body as soft as noodles, and the feel was excellent.

Real men know what kind of woman is the best. Only virgins and men who like to YY like white, young, and thin. Just young and thin—bad review!

When the two were having fun, it was very lively downstairs, with people coming and going.

Chen Guanlou suddenly froze and quickly stretched his neck to look downstairs.

Just now he glanced, and he shouldn't have recognized the wrong person.

He pushed Susu away. "You sit and wait for me; I'll be right back."

After saying that, he hurried downstairs and looked for that familiar figure in the crowd. He searched the lobby for a circle and didn't see anyone, then ran to the backyard.

The backyard was full of private rooms, and there were servants guarding outside the private rooms, which made him very passive.

He simply changed his clothes, went to the roof, and planned to spend the night waiting for the rabbit.

The capital in the early morning was quiet and deep, like a sleeping monster. Occasionally, soldiers from the City Patrol Division passed by, just like the monster's fangs. In the distance, the imperial palace still had dots of lights.

In the middle of the night, the Brocade Uniform Guard moved out in full force, not knowing who was going to be unlucky again.

Compared to the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Imperial Prison, the Heavenly Prison is like a vacation. Officials aren't afraid of being locked in the Heavenly Prison, but they are terrified of entering the Imperial Prison; it is truly a case of nine deaths for one life. Many officials sent to the Imperial Prison, even if they walk out alive, have their lives ruined; they are either crippled, disfigured, or have little time left to live.

Someone came out of the back door of the brothel.

Looking at that back, Chen Guanlou decisively followed.

He remembered that the other party had the strength of a Second-Rank, and after recovering for so many days, even if he couldn't reach the peak, he should maintain some level.

Dark alley!

Chen Guanlou decisively made a move, the blade out of the sheath, a slash...

Three moves!

He only used three moves to determine that he could kill the other party within ten moves. After all, having been locked up for a year, he hadn't recovered to his peak.

"Who are you? Who sent you?" The female ticket buyer asked sternly. His new identity had not been revealed to anyone; why did the other party find him? Where exactly did it go wrong?

Chen Guanlou opened his mouth, and it was the taste of mixing in the rivers and lakes for years. "Since you've come out, hurry up and get out of the capital. Relying on a little bit of skill, you still dare to stay in the capital; are you really not afraid of death! Then I will send you to see the King of Hell now." ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
