Chapter 702: The thief leader is quite particular

~8 min read 1,426 words

"Don't let him die!"

Walking out of the B-block prison, Chen Guanlou instructed Zhang Zhang Yuli Zhang.

Zhang Zhang Yuli Zhang patted his chest and guaranteed that he would focus on Zhu Ruhai and would never let the prisoner die in the cell.

Next, Chen Guanlou continued to patrol the C-block prison.

A group of monsters and ghosts, always making things bloody, the environment of the C-block prison was always bloody, cruel, and full of monsters and ghosts. Even the prison guards were stained with three parts of demon energy.

"Why is this cell holding three people?" Chen Guanlou pointed to one of the cells and asked.

"Reporting to the master, these three are a family. They spent money and specifically requested to be locked together."

"What is the charge?"

"Opening a black shop, murder and robbery, selling human meat buns."

Damn!

Chen Guanlou almost vomited.

In this day and age, you can really meet all kinds of monsters and ghosts in the Heavenly Prison.

"How was it discovered?"

"It was a retired veteran who stayed at the black shop; the medicine effect was insufficient, and he woke up in the middle of the night, breaking the black shop's trick. Fortunately, this veteran had acquaintances in the local area, escaped the pursuit, and successfully reported to the government. The case was too big, alarming the Ministry of Justice, and finally, the Ministry of Justice took over. The Six Shanmen caught the main culprit first, and specifically who was harmed is still under investigation."

Chen Guanlou gave a cold snort. "Separate them."

"But they spent money."

"So what if they spent money? In the Heavenly Prison, money is second, and I am first. Why don't you go and do it yet."

The prison guard received the order and handled it decisively.

"Eh, what are you doing? It was agreed to lock our family together; the money was paid, why separate us? We are not convinced! Taking money and not doing things, what kind of fair and honest is that."

The three prisoners started to make noise.

Chen Guanlou was very annoyed and gave a stern roar. "Shut up! What is your name."

"Who are you?"

"Still quite crazy." Chen Guanlou laughed; he liked crazy people. "Where is Xu Fugui? Don't you know the rules of the C-block prison? Drag them all to the interrogation room, tell Old Zhang Tou that these three people are cared for by me, and take good care of them."

The prison guard received the order and dragged them to the interrogation room.

"Let go of me!"

"Interrogation room? I'm not going to the interrogation room!"

"I paid money; I want to see Zhang Zhang Yuli Xu, I am not convinced!"

"Let go, let go! Your Heavenly Prison is untrustworthy, taking money and still being ungrateful..."

"Block their mouths, it's noisy!"

Chen Guanlou gave an order, and the big prison instantly became quiet.

He continued to patrol.

Witnessing the differences in the Jianghu.

"The cells are almost full; the Six Shanmen have been very hard-working recently!"

"Reporting to the master, the Six Shanmen wiped out a thief's nest and caught dozens or hundreds of people in one breath."

"What are you catching so many people for? The extra ones should be executed on the spot; locking them in the Heavenly Prison is a waste of food."

The prison guard whispered, "According to this group of thieves, the Six Shanmen didn't kill them because they mastered a smuggling line. The Six Shanmen want

"Smuggling what?"

"Smuggling everything. Military equipment, grain, cloth, and even people."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who is the leader of this gang of thieves? Take me to see them."

He had assumed the leader would be a burly, reckless brute; he never expected it to be a refined scholar.

"You are a man of talent, why turn to thievery?" Chen Guanlou felt quite emotional. He truly could not bear to see a decent scholar degenerate and turn to crime.

"Student Chang Qing greets Prison Warden Chen!" Chang Qing stood up and bowed, respectful and polite. His voice was also crisp and pleasant, capable of instantly capturing the ears of others, making people subconsciously want to hear what he had to say. Even if he were speaking nonsense, just listening to his voice was enough to be satisfying. He was clearly a natural-born broadcasting talent.

If this were in later generations, relying on this fine voice, he could have carved out a path on the internet and made a fortune. Plus, his face was upright, belonging to a more decent appearance. Put on the internet, it would be truly incredible.

What a pity, he was actually a thief.

"I see you are an educated man, why turn to thievery?" Chen Guanlou was very dissatisfied. How could a perfectly good scholar turn to thievery?

Chang Qing gave a bitter smile, "It was truly helpless; the student was forced onto this path. The student was originally from Pingzhou, out visiting teachers and friends. Passing by Mengwu Mountain, I encountered bandits robbing people. The bandits learned I was a scholar and forced me to be their private secretary, otherwise, they would kill me. To save my life, the student had to comply. Later, they were afraid I would run away, so they forced me to kill people. The student stepped into the abyss step by step like this, and could never break free again."

"Then how did you become the leader?"

"The original leader was self-willed, cruel, and cold. He would beat and scold his own people at every turn, or even kill them for amusement. The student really couldn't stand it, so I conspired with a group of people, found an opportunity, and killed the original leader as well as those few ringleaders who acted as accomplices. Afterward, they jointly pushed me to be the leader. I could not decline, so I had to reluctantly become the head chief. The student knows I have committed a capital crime and does not ask for forgiveness, only that you do not notify my family. Just let them mistakenly believe that I passed away from an accident years ago. So as not to stain the family reputation!"

After Chang Qing finished speaking, he sighed repeatedly. He bowed deeply once more, his attitude very sincere.

"A talent indeed!" Chen Guanlou sighed.

From private secretary to head chief, it seemed like only one rank up, but the difficulty involved is hard for an outsider to imagine. With so many thieves and so many bandit nests, one rarely sees a private secretary take the place of the head leader.

Chang Qing was definitely a talent. Bewitching hearts, arranging troops, suppressing opposition, dividing and disintegrating, planning every step... the Youth Society lacked talent like him.

For a moment, Chen Guanlou even felt a desire to cherish his talent.

"I heard from the prison guards below that you know of a smuggling route, and by relying on this smuggling route to trade with the Six Shanmen, you protected all the brothers under your command?"

"Being a thief, the crime is indeed unforgivable. However, ever since the student became the head chief, I have always restrained the people under me, only robbing and never killing. I absolutely do not harm human lives. Those thieves whose hands were stained with blood and who killed wildly were already killed off when I seized power. These brothers, they are guilty, but they have not stained their hands with human lives, and the student believes they should be given a chance."

"How do I know what you say is true?" Chen Guanlou asked.

Chang Qing bowed slightly and said: "We have an account book. The account book is in the hands of the Six Shanmen. You can find the victims according to the account book and ask them, and you will know the truth of the matter."

"Your account book even records the victims' information? Were you planning to rob them a second time?" Chen Guanlou was very curious. Has being a thief these days become so meticulous?

Chang Qing hurriedly explained: "My lord, you misunderstand. The original idea for making the account book was that if we encountered them a second time, we would give a discount and not rob them too harshly. Making a living these days is not easy."

Truly meticulous enough!

"Tell me about that smuggling route, especially the human smuggling; I am quite curious."

"If my lord wants to know, the student will certainly tell everything I know without reservation."
