Chapter 902: Struck by lightning
Xiao Jincheng had to admit that Chen Guanlou was truly fearless; he had no means to handle the other party.
Actually, from the very beginning, he didn't believe the other party had the ability to kill Liaochen!
No matter how severely Liaochen was injured, self-preservation certainly wouldn't be a problem.
But he had to make this trip; he had to personally confirm that Chen Guanlou had no suspicion.
This raised a new question: who killed Liaochen? Could it be that there was a fourth Grandmaster in the capital?
This matter was very serious and had to be treated with caution.
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, do you dare to swear to heaven that Master Liaochen's death has nothing to do with you?"
Chen Guanlou immediately raised his hand and swore to heaven: "Master Liaochen's death has nothing to do with me at all. If I am lying, may I be struck by lightning and be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"
Swearing a poisonous oath, he didn't feel empty at all!
Because he didn't believe in this stuff!
As the saying goes, sincerity leads to efficacy!
His heart wasn't sincere, so how could it be efficacious!
Rumble!
A thunderbolt out of thin air suddenly exploded outside the house!
Chen Guanlou:...
Xiao Jincheng:...
The two looked at each other.
Chen Guanlou shouted hurriedly: "This has nothing to do with me! It's just a coincidence! As the saying goes, spring thunder rolls!"
Xiao Jincheng raised his eyebrows slightly. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, do you dare to stand in the courtyard and wait for the second thunderbolt?"
"If you tell me to go, I go; wouldn't that make me look like I have no face?"
"Is face important, or is clearing suspicion important?" Xiao Jincheng's mouth twitched; sometimes he really couldn't keep up with the other party's brain circuit.
"Both are important!" Chen Guanlou said sonorously!
"Please!"
Too lazy to talk nonsense, he gave the order directly!
Chen Guanlou hesitated for a moment, pondering repeatedly; heaven couldn't possibly manifest its spirit, right? His heart wasn't sincere, and he just casually swore a poisonous oath; heaven couldn't possibly take it seriously, right?
Everything was a coincidence.
After building up his psychological construction, he decisively stepped out of the room and sat in the courtyard.
"Look, nothing! Enough to prove my innocence."
Rumble!
Another thunderbolt smashed down!
Chen Guanlou:...
Damn heaven, are you done yet!
Do you have to be so fitting!
He just said it casually; did you have to create an atmosphere? This was so embarrassing.
He chuckled at Xiao Jincheng: "I said it, spring thunder rolls. In spring, all things recover, and farmers need to plow. Thunder is good; rain, spring rain is as expensive as oil! Master Xiao, the night is deep, and we have to go to work early tomorrow morning. If you don't sleep, I want to sleep. If there's nothing else, you can go."
Xiao Jincheng's mouth moved slightly, seemingly wanting to laugh but failing to do so.
He coughed lightly and returned to his coffin face. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's words are reasonable; spring rain is as expensive as oil! Next time, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen should not swear indiscriminately; it will come true!"
After saying that, he climbed over the wall and left.
What kind of virtue is the Embroidered Uniform Guard; they don't walk through the door, and they all like to climb walls.
Wait, what did the Xiao surname's last words mean? Suspecting him? Whitewashing him? Kindly reminding him? Or...
Regardless of the situation, he would remain unchanged to deal with all changes, and he would never admit to killing Monk Liaochen even if he died. Unless, he became the strongest!
Early in the morning, work.
He heard another annoying piece of news.
Liaochen entered Nirvana, and Daxiang Temple decided to take this opportunity to hold a dharma assembly of unprecedented scale! Gathering people's hearts, paying respects to Liaochen, would push Daxiang Temple's reputation even higher.
Lu Datou talked endlessly in front of him about how big the scale of the dharma assembly was, how many enlightened high monks would show up, and even the Daoist sect might send people to attend.
"The palace will definitely express something too. At that time, that scene, I must see it with my own eyes. How many years, it hasn't been this lively."
Chen Guanlou:...
He looked contemptuous and disdainful.
That dead ghost Liaochen, who did all kinds of evil during his lifetime, could still enjoy such honors after death; it was truly unfair.
"Brother, don't be disdainful! That is Master Liaochen, a Grandmaster, a Grandmaster..."
"As a Grandmaster, dying so easily, haven't you thought that Liaochen, this Grandmaster, might be fake, blown out by people?"
"How could a Grandmaster be fake. A Grandmaster is a Grandmaster; it can't be fake."
"Then how did he die? Isn't it said that a Grandmaster can live at least two or three hundred years. How did he die so early."
"This, this..." Lu Datou was speechless and unable to refute. It took a long time before he said timidly: "Maybe there was some hidden illness. Or he achieved the true Buddha and went to see the Buddha."
Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes immediately, not hiding his disgust at all.
"Listen to what you're saying; don't you feel it's contradictory? Since he is a Grandmaster, what hidden illness can't a Grandmaster cure? Going to see the Buddha is even more nonsense. The greatest possibility is that Liaochen was not a Grandmaster at all, just a person who fished for fame and compliments."
"Brother, this can't be said. He has many believers; if it's heard by believers, it will cause big trouble."
"As long as you don't talk nonsense outside, these words won't spread. Alright, hurry up and go to work. Keep an eye on the C-grade prison; don't let Xu Fugui mess around."
"Brother, don't worry, I guarantee I'll keep an eye on the Xu surname."
"At least give Xu Fugui some face; no matter what, he is the prison clerk of the C-grade prison and your boss."
"My boss is only you, Brother!" Lu Datou patted his chest to show loyalty!
Chen Guanlou: Let him be!
Mu Yiguan Mu was drinking tea, leisurely and carefree.
Chen Guanlou didn't dare to tell him about killing Liaochen. It wasn't that he was afraid the other party's mouth wasn't tight, but he was worried about implicating the other party.
Liaochen was at least considered the face of the royal family; suddenly having his head cut off, although it was covered up on the surface, privately, they would definitely investigate the truth without stopping.
Mu Yiguan Mu was just an ordinary person; how could he withstand the means of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
He couldn't harm others.
"Master seems to have worries? Why not say it out, this old man will help you analyze it!"
"Recently I made a small mistake, not exactly a mistake, just the timing, I didn't grasp it accurately. The finishing work wasn't done well, I just wanted to be happy myself. Now I've left a tail; what do you say I should do?"
"This matter is simple, just slaughter the tail!" Mu Yiguan Mu was concise.
Chen Guanlou nodded secretly. "It's just that there's a long string behind the tail."
"Then slaughter them all!" Mu Yiguan Mu made a cutting gesture. "Master, remember not to be indecisive; you must cut the Gordian knot quickly."
"If I slaughter the tail, it will cause bigger problems, what should I do?"
"In that case! Then you can't slaughter the tail; you can only wait and see, using the unchanging to deal with the changing."
"Makes sense!" Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly.
"You let this old man keep an eye on Prison Clerk Miao; there's a small matter, I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Speak!" Chen Guanlou was also very curious about what Mu Yiguan Mu could discover.
Mu Yiguan Mu pondered for a moment and said: "This Prison Clerk Miao acts steadily and meticulously; it can be seen that he should be a veteran in the field of criminal justice, and his resume shouldn't be fake. It's just that this old man discovered that those thorny prison guards in the B-grade prison seem to be quite afraid of him."
"Afraid of him? Are you sure?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised.
"So this old man thinks it's very strange; he's only been here for a few months, and he can make the prison guards of the B-grade prison obedient? It's not like you back then, convincing people with reason and money. It's more like convincing people with power. Perhaps this old man saw it wrong and worried too much." ===== CHAPTER 903 =====
