Chapter 760: Be a black-hearted person with standards

"Lady Liu is Lady Liu, and Li Dahong's son is Li Dahong's son. These two have nothing to do with each other; don't mix them up. Besides, Lady Liu married Li Dahong back then, and then returned to the palace; the Emperor knows the inside story better than any of us. If he cared, he should have cared back then; why wait until today."

Chen Guanlou snorted.

These words seem to be emphasizing facts, but in fact, they are convincing Medical Official Mu, and also convincing himself.

People's hearts are unpredictable!

Especially a man's heart, fickle!

Men understand men best! Thoughts change from the previous second to the next second, not to mention ten years ago and ten years later.

"Times have changed." Medical Official Mu whispered: "At that time, he was just the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Now he is the Son of Heaven. The status has changed, and the mentality naturally changes with it. He didn't care before, which doesn't mean he doesn't care now. Even if Lady Liu has no favor now, if the matter spreads, it's hard to guarantee..."

"Then don't let the matter spread." Chen Guanlou said sonorously, "I have already arranged for Lu Datou to find the person and find out the situation clearly. Just in case, I also need to find the Li family to identify him."

"Do you suspect someone is impersonating Li Dahong's son?"

"This matter is hard to say! Wait for the news from Lu Datou's side, and we will act according to circumstances."

Medical Official Mu frowned, his heart hardened, "Regardless of whether he is Li Dahong's son, should we just..." He raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Old Mu, when did you become so vicious? It hasn't reached that point yet, why are you thinking about the other party's life." Chen Guanlou was half teasing and half criticizing. Being a person still needs to have some bottom line. Even if you really want to kill someone, don't be in a hurry; at least find out the cause and effect of the matter first.

Medical Official Mu had no shame at all.

As a medical official, the most he sees is dead people. The number of people who died in his hands is not small. His heart had long been numb and cold.

He snorted, looking very dissatisfied, "This old man doesn't believe you haven't thought about killing the person to end it once and for all."

"I have thought about it, but I'm not as urgent as you!" Chen Guanlou generously admitted that his heart was dark and dirty, he was not a good person, and even less a gentleman.

If you threaten him, he must kill! Regardless of the other party's status.

But he also won't kill indiscriminately, won't issue a death notice to someone based on a little guess or the so-called future that might happen in his brain.

He is a person with principles and bottom lines. Even if he is a black-hearted person, he must be a black-hearted person with standards.

"Are you not worried about the matter blowing up?"

"Old Mu, you are just worrying blindly. Even if the matter blows up, it won't involve you. First, Li Dahong's death is suspicious; I guess it has something to do with that person. Second, Li Dahong's son has been missing for many years; it's hard to guarantee it wasn't that person's handiwork. Third, Li Dahong's son returned at this time; could there be a possibility that he is sure the danger has passed, so he dares to show up."

"The danger has passed, so he comes to be a prison guard?" Medical Official Mu's rhetorical question seemed to overturn all of Chen Guanlou's reasoning.

Chen Guanlou:...

He had a feeling of heartache; it was really hell.

Yes, the danger has passed, so why do anything else, why come to be a prison guard and eat public food? If something happens, there is nowhere to escape. It is always relatively easy to arrest registered personnel.

"Fine, fine, we can't discuss a result now. Wait for the news first."

A good day, bright and sunny, was ruined because of the return of Li Dahong's son. Even the best tea couldn't soothe the anxiety in Medical Official Mu's heart.

Chen Guanlou simply dragged him to the brothel to play tricks. With beautiful girls to comfort him, all troubles were gone.

Lu Datou does the work of a prison guard, doing it so-so, even barely qualified. But doing the work of a spy, he is like a fish in water, doing it so actively and efficiently.

That night, he found Li Dahong's son, a boy named Li Shuan.

Dragging the person to eat and drink, and calling girls who sing songs to accompany him, he managed to dig out some useful things from the other party's mouth.

By early the next morning, he found the Li family to identify Li Shuan's identity. He stripped the drunk Li Shuan naked, turned him over, found the birthmark on his body, and finally confirmed that he was indeed Li Dahong's son.

Aunt Li said: "I delivered him myself. When he was born, I was the one who wiped his body. There is a small black mole on his buttock, and a piece of black skin at the root of his thigh. That's right, he is Li Shuan; even if he turns into ashes, I recognize him."

"Are you sure it's correct?"

"Can't be wrong. Back then, I also joked with Li Dahong, saying that his son had a birthmark, and it was in such a secret place."

"Are you also sure he is Li Dahong's son?" Lu Datou asked the two Li brothers?

"The chin looks like Dahong."

"The nose also looks like it!"

"The eyebrows and eyes look like my sister-in-law who passed away early."

"Definitely can't be wrong, he is Shuanzi. This kid, don't know where he ran to for so many years; his father died and he didn't come back. Unfilial son."

"Now that he is back, he wants to inherit Dahong's errand; he thinks quite beautifully."

"Lu Tou, back then the Heavenly Prison side promised that as long as ten years passed, Dahong's errand would be inherited by our family's kid. Now Li Shuan is back, what do you say about this?"

Lu Datou kept a straight face, "Don't count on the Heavenly Prison's errand. Since Li Shuan is back, Li Dahong's errand is naturally left to his own son."

"He came back at a really good time, pinching the time to come back. Could it be that he knew his father died long ago? Sure enough, he is an unfilial son."

"Lu Tou, such an unloyal, unrighteous, unbenevolent, and unfilial rebellious son, does your Heavenly Prison also accept him?"

"Whether to accept or not, the higher-ups have the final say. I am just a person who runs errands and passes messages. Fine, you all go back. After my Lord finishes asking questions, he will naturally give you an explanation."

"Lu Tou, you must put in a good word for us. Dahong's errand cannot be handed over to an unbenevolent and unfilial person like Li Shuan."

"Too much nonsense. How to use people, does my Lord need you to teach him? Get out, get out, get out!"

Lu Datou drove the Li family away. Then he ordered the prison guards to watch Li Shuan closely.

"Absolutely cannot let him leave your sight; even if he goes to the toilet, you must follow. This kid has quite a few names on him, you all be alert. After this errand is done, there will be no shortage of benefits for you. My Lord is generous, you know that. However, if you ruin the errand My Lord entrusted, you will bear the consequences! I'll go back to report to My Lord first!"

Lu Datou ate two mouthfuls of breakfast on the street and hurried back to the Heavenly Prison to report the news.

Seeing Chen Guanlou, he hurriedly leaned over with a face, mysteriously saying: "Brother, the person has been found, and the matter has been found out clearly. I asked the Li family to identify him, and the kid is indeed Li Dahong's son, named Li Shuan, everyone calls him Shuanzi."

The stone fell to the ground.

Sure enough, it was Li Dahong's own son.

Chen Guanlou rubbed his face, "Tell me what useful news you have found out." ===== CHAPTER 761 =====
