Chapter 916: Midnight Questioning

Mu Yiguan Mu has his own capital for pride.

The old lady of the Hou Fu took the prescription he wrote and ate it for two days, and her condition improved, from being bedridden to barely being able to get out of bed, which was gratifying.

Once the three days were up, he entered the Hou Fu again for diagnosis and prescription.

Once familiar, twice skilled.

This time entering the Hou Fu, he clearly felt the change in the attitude of the people in the Hou Fu; they were much more enthusiastic. Even the consultation fee given increased exponentially.

Even the second master who had picked on him before greeted him with a smile; it was a typical case of being arrogant before and humble after—a petty person indeed!

It was still Chen Guanlou who sent Mu Yiguan Mu to the door, taking the opportunity to claim credit for the other party and asking the head steward for a reward.

The head steward took the opportunity to make a request, "Can you arrange for Mu Yiguan Mu to stay in the Hou Fu? It doesn't have to be too long; after the old lady's body is adjusted, he can return to the Heavenly Prison to serve."

"I can't agree to this; it depends on Mu Yiguan Mu's own thoughts. You old man, don't think about suppressing people with power. I am his backer."

The head steward was between laughter and tears, "The Hou Fu wouldn't suppress people with power and bully a doctor. You tell him that the Hou Fu will definitely have a heavy reward. Whether the old lady's body is healthy, I believe he understands its importance. You talk to Mu Yiguan Mu properly; the Hou Fu will never treat him badly. After he cures the old lady, the Hou Fu will guarantee him, and in the future, the powerful and noble families of the capital will all be his patients."

"The powerful and noble, he is afraid of them and doesn't really care for them. The heavy reward is a bit tempting. Fine, I'll talk to him and see what he thinks."

Mu Yiguan Mu was naturally unwilling to stay in the Hou Fu.

He chose a compromise method: he would still serve in the Heavenly Prison during the day and come to diagnose the old lady after work.

The people in the Hou Fu were clearly unhappy.

After seeing the dirty prisoners, he comes to diagnose the old lady; isn't he afraid of passing the illness to the old lady?

Besides, when did the old lady of the Hou Fu fall to the same treatment as a prisoner.

Absolutely not!

At worst, double the consultation fee.

Chen Guanlou saw that the two sides couldn't agree, so he gave another idea, "Old Mu, why don't you be in the Hou Fu during the day and go home or back to the Heavenly Prison at night; you make the decision yourself. As for the consultation fee, I definitely won't treat you badly.

As for the Heavenly Prison, let your disciples and grandchildren take over, and by the way, let them practice. Those medicine boys are also time to stand on their own. With you there, they are nervous and dare not prescribe medicine. When you are not there, they let go of their hands; even if there is an accident, I will cover for them, so don't worry."

His words convinced Mu Yiguan Mu.

Those medicine boys under his hand, as well as his disciples and grandchildren, indeed needed an opportunity to stand on their own. He guarded the Heavenly Prison every day, and the people below were tied up and didn't dare to let go of their hands. If this continues, I don't know when they will be able to grow up.

"Fine! This old man will agree for now. You tell the people in the Hou Fu that the old lady's treatment plan, as well as the subsequent maintenance plan, must listen to this old man. If every time I prescribe medicine, I have to be questioned, this old man doesn't care for this job either."

"That is naturally the case! I will guarantee your medical skills. If you have any other requirements, just bring them up, and I will negotiate with the Hou Fu."

Chen Guanlou acted as a middleman and finally brought the two sides together.

Mu Yiguan Mu was on duty in the Hou Fu during the day and went home to rest at night. A one-month period was initially set.

The two sides discussed it properly, and the Hou Fu paid a consultation fee first, which appeared very sincere.

They even promised that after the matter was done, they would give Mu Yiguan Mu a batch of precious medicinal materials.

Other things were fine, but the four words 'precious medicinal materials', Mu Yiguan Mu couldn't move his feet as soon as he heard them. Not for money, just for the medicinal materials, he would accept this commission.

As a result, Chen Guanlou served in the Heavenly Prison every day, and there was one less person to accompany him to drink tea and chat, which was a bit boring!

Mu Qingshan was very active in doing things, and he had to come to ask for instructions for even the smallest matter.

Once or twice, Chen Guanlou explained patiently and meticulously.

Three or four times, his patience seemed to be exhausted, and he scolded the other party and drove him out.

Mu Qingshan muttered, "He suffered anger elsewhere, so he ran to the Heavenly Prison to vent his anger."

Chen Guanlou stared, "Come back, come back. Which eye of yours saw that I suffered anger?"

"Both eyes saw it."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "You are blind! I must let your uncle treat you! This official is in a very good mood and has no time to vent anger on you; don't think too much."

"As long as the official is not angry! There are still a few unfinished matters here to ask the official for advice, the Bing-character prison..."

"Get out, get out, get out, can you let me be quiet for a while!"

Chen Guanlou found himself becoming more and more lazy, more and more bureaucratic.

He was used to being a hands-off manager.

This is very bad!

But he didn't intend to correct it!

Compared to the prison warden who fished for three days and dried the net for two days in the past, he went to work and got off work on time every day, which was already very professional. One cannot ask for too much. One cannot wrap up all the things and do them; what should the people below do? Eat idle rice?

The people below must be kept busy.

Therefore, he must continue to be a hands-off manager and continue to be lazy.

In the middle of the night, he drank alone.

Halfway through the drink, he raised his glass to the void, "Since you are here, why not appear. Sneaky, is this the style of you people in the palace? Can you be generous for once."

Wang Hai fell from the roof, and seeing that there was no seat for him, he simply took a chair from the room and sat opposite Chen Guanlou.

"Looking for me so late, drinking?" Chen Guanlou asked with a casual smile.

Wang Hai was very serious, "I am here to ask questions under the order of Eunuch Wei."

"Ask questions?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, very disdainful, "Ask what questions? Why ask questions? What qualifications do you have to ask me questions? What crime did I commit that the palace had to send you to ask questions. The Embroidered Uniform Guard came before and also said it was to ask questions. Now you come to ask questions again; is there no end? Do you really think I have a good temper, am a soft persimmon, and can be kneaded at will?"

"I haven't started asking yet, and you have such a big reaction; could it be that you know what I want to ask, could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

Chen Guanlou was full of disdain, and mocked without concealment: "You ask questions, it's nothing more than the matter of Monk Liaochen's passing. How about it, are you still suspecting me? My reaction is big, so it's called a guilty conscience? You have no evidence, yet you dare to convict me, and you don't allow me to have any inappropriate reactions. How about it, do the people in the palace have hands that reach so far? Are you not afraid of being beheaded one day?"

Wang Hai kept his mission in mind, was not distracted by the digression, and hit the nail on the head: "Since you know that I am here to ask about the passing of Master Liaochen, please tell me truthfully, does Liaochen's death have anything to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me! Even if you ask a hundred times, I am still this answer." Chen Guanlou denied it flatly.

Who is Liaochen? He had never even seen him.

If you want to make a lie sound as flawless as the truth, the first thing is to brainwash yourself and give yourself psychological hints.

"But Eunuch Wei doesn't think so. That night, Eunuch Wei took Master Xiao and the others to chase Senior Zhou, and only you and Master Liaochen were left on the back mountain of Daxiang Temple. The result was that Master Liaochen died in the cellar, his head was cut off and placed on the offering table in the side room, and the scene was very terrifying. Whether you killed him or not, as the only eyewitness at the scene, you cannot escape the relationship."

Wang Hai said seriously. ===== CHAPTER 917 =====
