Chapter 920: Fishing for People

~8 min read 1,512 words

Weird!

Truly weird!

In recent days, the streets and alleys have been discussing the strange rumors of the Heir of Prince Cheng dying, his head disappearing, and the head finding its way back in the middle of the night. It was said with nose and eyes, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Someone said with certainty that that night when they got up to go to the latrine, they saw a head floating in mid-air, shouting: "Where is my body? Where is my body?"

Wow!

The listeners gasped in shock.

"Get out, get out, making things up from morning till night, be careful that the government catches you for questioning."

The fierce old woman drove away the idlers who were gathered in a group, muttering: "I'm going to die! It's so scary!" After speaking, she shivered first and hurried home to burn incense and worship Buddha to drive away evil!

Chen Guanlou couldn't care about the rumors outside; he had to fish for people.

Going on a public errand, the prisoner died, the murderer is unknown, and the head was almost lost. With such a big loophole, under normal circumstances, one would have to be imprisoned and exiled, or even beheaded.

However, the situation this time is special.

Chen Guanlou read the case file and only then did he know that in the early years, cult bandits were active in Prince Cheng's fief, and the two sides were hooking up and not very clean. Later, the imperial court severely cracked down on cult bandit activities, and Prince Cheng, in order to protect himself, turned around and sold out this group of unclean cult bandits. Since then, the two families have formed a deadly feud.

The logic of the cult bandits is very simple: you officials chasing and arresting me is official business, and I don't blame you. But you called me brother, and then turned around to sell me out and brought people to arrest me; that is betrayal.

Betrayers must die!

After reading the case file, his heart suddenly moved.

Prince Cheng died of chronic poison; he had always thought it was the backyard of Prince Cheng being restless, jealousy leading to some women losing their minds and taking risks. Now after reading the case file, he suddenly had a bold guess: was the poisoning planned by the cult bandits?

In Prince Cheng's backyard, there were people planted by the cult bandits.

Otherwise, how to explain Zhang Daohe seeing the Heir of Prince Cheng and cutting off the person's head! And he still had to spend effort to fish for people!

Zhang Daohe, that dog thing, was clearly taking revenge for personal grudges, yet he had the nerve to say he was giving him a gift. Shameless to the extreme! Never seen such a shameless person!

I hope the other party fights with Wei Wubing, preferably both lose.

He ran to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Daoning.

"Old Sun, I don't care how you deal with the people of the Six Shanmen. My people, you cannot vent your anger on them. A group of jailers who only know a few fake martial arts, encountering a master who cuts off heads, it's good enough that they can protect themselves; you can't expect them to save people. Besides, the duty of a jailer is to escort, to bring the person back completely; in this sense, they have excellently completed the task."

"Bringing back a dead person, this is called excellently completing the task?" Sun Daoning laughed in anger.

Chen Guanlou was angry and argued strongly, "You just say whether the Heir of Prince Cheng was brought back completely; is this result established? Although the process had some accidents and the prisoner didn't have breath, the corpse is complete, right. It's still several times better than losing the head at the beginning."

"Hmm, being able to bring back the head is indeed dog-shit luck." Sun Daoning gave an objective evaluation.

The head was lost and found; this matter exudes a weirdness.

It's impossible for the head to run back by itself. That's not really becoming the shrew idlers on the street, any ghost talk can be pulled out.

There are no gods or ghosts in this world!

At least there are no gods or ghosts in the world today.

Whether there were gods or ghosts when the immortals descended in the early Great Yu is another matter.

"Since the prisoner is back, don't pursue the responsibility."

"Such a big thing, the person who died is the Heir of Prince Cheng, you ask me not to pursue it, on what basis? If I let them go, others will follow suit in the future, and the entire Ministry of Justice will be in chaos."

Sun Daoning played the official tone and put on official prestige.

Chen Guanlou didn't eat this set at all, sneered twice, "Old Sun, tell me the truth, did the palace arrange for the Heir of Prince Cheng to go out to worship, planning to kill him after he came back? Or on the way back, have they already arranged for assassins."

"Nonsense! Stop talking nonsense. What do you take the imperial court for, Jianghu bandits? And arrange for assassins. Can the imperial court do things like this?"

Sun Daoning was dying of anger.

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow, "The imperial court cannot do things like this, it doesn't mean the palace cannot do it. How much His Majesty hates Prince Cheng's lineage, I don't need to say, you must have seen it."

Just because Prince Cheng died, Emperor Emperor Jian Shi still wanted to slice the corpse, which is enough to see how heavy the anger in Emperor Emperor Jian Shi's heart is and how deep the hatred is. Slicing the corpse is not enough to vent his anger, so kill all the direct relatives of Prince Cheng's lineage, so that Prince Cheng's lineage will be completely extinct.

"Don't guess His Majesty's thoughts with the heart of a villain. Keep your voice down." Sun Daoning was scared; his mouth had no gate, and he really dared to say anything.

"Don't you believe that His Majesty can tolerate the Heir of Prince Cheng living for a long time. That's a thorn! Although he can't kill people, that's a thorn buried in the heart, constantly reminding His Majesty how annoying and disgusting this thorn is. Must kill it quickly."

"Nonsense! This official is an official of the imperial court, and the departure is decided by the imperial court. Stop talking nonsense!"

Sun Daoning scolded on his mouth, but agreed with Chen Guanlou's statement in his heart.

Emperor Emperor Jian Shi is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes; the ministers have long seen it. It's just that no one has ever said these words so bluntly.

It is Chen Guanlou, this person with no gate on his mouth, who would talk nonsense without any scruples.

He covered his ears, but he could still hear it. If one day there is a liquidation, he is definitely innocent and innocent. Everything is the responsibility of the thief surnamed Chen.

"You just say whether my analysis is right?" Chen Guanlou was very sensible and took the initiative to lower his voice, "His Majesty's heart is more than a villain, it is clearly a chicken belly, not even as good as a villain. You must be careful when serving under his eyelids, don't harden your head, be careful of being hated. Once hated by His Majesty, your official career is finished."

"Nonsense! This official is an official of the imperial court, and the departure is decided by the imperial court. Stop talking nonsense!"

Sun Daoning scolded on his mouth, but agreed with Chen Guanlou's statement in his heart.
