Chapter 711: Disaster falls from the sky

~8 min read 1,487 words

Prince Cheng rebelled, and the decree to recall Marquis Pingjiang to the capital was thus void.

At a glance, it seemed like nothing had changed.

Looking closely, what changed was the human heart.

It turned out that Emperor Emperor Jian Shi was so easily manipulated.

The ambitious ones saw it clearly; Prince Cheng's rebellion at this time was clearly a trick by Marquis Pingjiang to manipulate the Emperor. The key was that the Emperor bought it.

Hehe!

Prince Chu took the opportunity to grow big and strong; the vassal kings who had sternly refused him before, after Prince Cheng's incident, were all secretly contacting him, secretly transporting money and grain to him. It was equivalent to betting on both sides.

The hearts of the people were turning away, which was greatly unfavorable for Emperor Emperor Jian Shi!

It was just that the capital was a bit lagging, and the big shots in the court hadn't realized this point yet. By the time there were people in the court secretly sending autumn waves to Prince Chu, the problem would be serious.

Chen Guanlou drank for two days in a row. He tried hard to drink his already black conscience into the color of alcohol.

The wish was beautiful, although the result was not beautiful.

With the alcohol going to his head, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, he took Chang Qing and the water bandit out of the Heavenly Prison, galloped all the way, and headed straight for the mountain hollow. He threw the two of them in front of his apprentice Zhang Yikang. "I found two helpers for you. This one is good at water battles, and this one is good at jungle warfare. How many people have you managed at most?"

He kicked Chang Qing.

Chang Qing vomited while raising his hand to gesture. "Two or three hundred!"

The water bandit's situation was slightly better; he bent over and retched a few times, his face still pale, but his stomach felt much better.

This journey, good heavens, he didn't see the surrounding environment at all, and didn't even distinguish southeast, northwest. He just remembered that he had been flying in the sky; at that speed, his internal organs were about to be shaken out. The water bandit had lived on the water for years and could barely adapt.

Chang Qing couldn't do it; he felt like half his life was gone, and he really wanted to die. Flying in the sky was really not suitable for him.

Chen Guanlou didn't care about the situation of the two, only instructing his apprentice: "These two were originally death-row prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, and someone protected them from death. The water bandit owes three thousand taels, principal and interest, nine out and thirteen in; you calculate how much money he has to pay back in a year and how much work he has to do to earn that much money.

This Chang Qing, a bandit leader, is also a scholar, full of bad water, can bend and stretch, and is very insidious. From now on, these two will follow you; how to use them, you decide for yourself.

The future is yours, the career is yours; I provide you with a portion of talent, a portion of money, and you use your own brain for the rest. Or discuss it with your junior think tank.

For a team of a thousand people, these two are definitely enough to be strategists or small leaders. For a team of over a thousand people, you need to consider more and strive to recruit more talent. If you want talent, you must be willing to spend money. I give you the capital, and you think carefully about how to make money with money."

"Is Master not going to manage me?" Zhang Yikang raised his head and asked.

Chen Guanlou touched the other person's head, very warmly. The next second, he turned his face and kicked the other person. "If I didn't manage you, could I worry about so many things for you? Are you rebelling, or am I rebelling? Remember, outside, I will never admit that you are my apprentice; whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. Take care of yourself and strive to strengthen yourself. By the way, regarding Prince Cheng's rebellion and the voiding of the decree to recall Marquis Pingjiang to the capital, write a reflection. If you were in the leader's position, and someone under you listened to the tune but not the announcement, what would you do?"

Me?

Zhang Yikang pointed at himself, completely bewildered.

"If not you, then is it me? Next time, I want to see your homework finished; don't think about being lazy. Use these two well. Starting from them, learn to control people's hearts."

After the instructions were finished, leaving a sum of start-up capital, Chen Guanlou left overnight.

Zhang Yikang:...

Master is not worried about leaking the news at all!

He came to the next room and looked at the two small thieves. He held a dagger. He had the determination to solve the hidden danger for his master if they didn't agree. He was small, but he had the advantages of being small. He was also fighting on his home turf; killing two dizzy adults was difficult for him, but he could overcome it.

Chen Guanlou had no idea that after he left, Zhang Yikang was planning how to kill the two, rather than how to subdue them.

Two people were missing from the Bing-grade prison, and no one asked or mentioned it. It was as if these two had never existed, and the prison guards tacitly chose to forget.

Chen Guanlou still liked the Jia-grade prison the most, and he patrolled it the most often.

Recently, there was a new batch of prisoners, all caught from the north.

Prince Cheng rebelled, and the local officials suffered bad luck. The imperial court couldn't deal with Marquis Pingjiang, but couldn't they deal with small local officials? The action was swift and accurate, not allowing any sophistry; all the main officials were caught first.

Chen Guanlou saw a familiar face.

Why familiar!

Because the other party was a second-time visitor.

"Official Gong, you are really a frequent visitor. It's only been a few years since you went out, how did you come in again."

A few years ago, when Chen Guanlou was still a squad leader, Official Gong was a criminal official. Later, he spent some money to settle the case, and he successfully left prison. He found relationships and connections to get through the door and went to the north to be an official where people didn't want to go. He thought he would be prosperous from then on, but... bad luck, offending the Tai Sui!

He was an official, and disaster fell from the sky!

Official Gong sighed and arched his hands, saying: "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is promoted and gets rich. It's been a few years, and you are more and more proud. Hey, I'm not doing well. This time, I don't know if I can escape this disaster."

"Official Gong, you must have confidence in the imperial court and confidence in yourself. You are just born at the wrong time, with a bumpy fate, not a heinous crime. You must believe that the imperial court's law is fair, and the sky of the Great Gan is all blue sky!"

Chen Guanlou knew how to mock, and his mocking skills were full.

Official Gong's face turned blue, and he snorted coldly: "I treated the Jiang Jiang Yucheng with sincerity, but the Jiang Jiang Yucheng is joking with me; you really don't treat me as a friend!"

Chen Guanlou smiled, not caring at all. "Official Gong, calm down, just a small joke, have fun. What color the sky above is, and what the fairness of the law specifically manifests in, everyone knows in their hearts. Just a harmless joke, don't take it to heart. This time, you are not the only one who is unlucky; everyone has grievances. Grievances are good! If you work hard in one place, maybe you can save a large sum of money this time and go out safely."

Official Gong rolled his eyes. "Prince Cheng rebelled, which is equivalent to poking a hole in the sky. One hole after another in the sky, the Emperor not killing all of us in a rage is already a grace. What saving money, what going out safely, I dare not imagine. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't joke with me anymore. However, I still want to thank you; I heard that it was you who sent a word to the top, so I could be locked in the Heavenly Prison."

"Official Gong, the point I appreciate most about you is this, gratitude!" Chen Guanlou said with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 712 =====
