Chapter 946: Voluntarily applying for imprisonment

~8 min read 1,574 words

Zhuang Yifei and Geng Yushi both revealed faces of constipation, difficult to describe in words.

One was unwilling, one was resentful!

Both were waiting for the final verdict.

Chen Guanlou pointed at Geng Yushi. "You want to kill him because you are afraid he will kill you in revenge, right?"

Geng Yushi did not make a sound, seemingly tacitly acknowledging it.

"You also want to kill him, to repay grievances with grievances and hatred with hatred. Right." Chen Guanlou looked at Zhuang Yifei again.

Zhuang Yifei nodded. "I dream of killing him. Over the years, his Geng family has relied on his prestige as an imperial censor to act recklessly in our hometown and harm the villagers. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can send people to my hometown to inquire, and you will know that what I said is true, without any exaggeration."

"Nonsense!" Geng Yushi retorted. "My Geng family repaired bridges and paved roads, and provided relief to the villagers; why don't you mention that?"

Zhuang Yifei sneered repeatedly, disregarding everything, directly tearing through the window paper and poking through the truth. "That is because your Geng family has committed many evils and was afraid of heaven's retribution, afraid of being reported, and felt guilty, so you hypocritically did some good deeds to make up for it. Every time the porridge distribution ended, it was immediately followed by the large-scale annexation of the good fields of self-cultivating farmers. Whoever disagreed, the outcome was bound to be a broken family and death, with nowhere to seek help. Your Geng family covered the sky with one hand, and the villagers could not catch their breath, all living under the shadow of your Geng family; sooner or later, you will face retribution."

"A pack of lies! When my Geng family was wealthy, we never forgot to give back to the hometown. Over the years, we repaired the ancestral hall, built schools, repaired roads and bridges, and distributed porridge and clothes; each and every item, in your mouth, has become a sign of guilt. It is absurd. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you must not believe him; he is a bandit, how could there be a single true word in his mouth? We are the ones on the same side; we are our own people."

Geng Yushi was furious; if it weren't for the cell door blocking him, he would definitely have killed the man surnamed Zhuang.

Unfortunately, the man surnamed Zhuang was a martial arts expert, and he was no match for him. The only thing he could count on now was Chen Guanlou.

But looking at the other party's appearance, he did not seem willing to listen to him, and did not even put money in his eyes.

He was angry, his eyeballs rolling around, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

What exactly could he do to move Chen Guanlou and have the other party kill the man surnamed Zhuang for him?

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, appearing very disdainful. "Don't talk about being on the same side, and don't talk about being your own people. Geng Yushi, you are a high and mighty imperial censor, and I am just a mere Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng; I dare not call myself your own person. I have heard so much about the grievances between you two, and I finally understand. That's it! Zhuang Yifei, follow me out."

That's it?

Is it over?

Both men had expressions of disbelief.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, this..."

Chen Guanlou gave a light glance, and Zhuang Yifei immediately swallowed all his unfinished words. He dared not nag anymore.

Geng Yushi gave a hehe laugh, mocking Zhuang Yifei. "You still want to kill me, how naive! As stupid as ever! This is the Heavenly Prison, and I am a criminal official; a criminal official is still an official, do you understand the rules? On the contrary, you, a bandit, dare to break into the Heavenly Prison at night; wait for your death!"

Zhuang Yifei's face turned livid; if it weren't for his fear of Chen Guanlou, he would have slapped the man surnamed Geng to death long ago.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, can you let me kill him? After I kill him, you can arrest me, I will plead guilty; whether I am killed or dismembered, I accept my fate." He said this.

Chen Guanlou gave a cold laugh. "You want to kill someone under my nose; who do you think you are? Is there no law! Look clearly, this is the Heavenly Prison; I let you confront Geng Yushi, not to give you a chance to kill. Stop nagging, hurry and follow me out."

With one sentence, he directly extinguished Zhuang Yifei's thoughts.

Zhuang Yifei walked behind, unwilling.

Geng Yushi laughed arrogantly, laughing with great satisfaction.

Chen Guanlou disliked the coarseness of the other party's laughter and scolded sternly: "Shut up!"

"I... woooo..." Geng Yushi discovered that he could not speak, his cheeks turning red with anxiety, at a loss. It was not until Chen Guanlou and the other left the prison that his voice returned to normal.

He had a look of lingering fear!

Lying crookedly on the bed board, he was laughing and afraid, completely manic!

Chen Guanlou brought Zhuang Yifei back to the office.

"You really want to kill him?" The opening was a soul-piercing question. "Wait until he is released from prison before talking about it."

He kindly gave the other party an idea.

The implication was that no matter what grievances the two had, they were not allowed to kill in the Heavenly Prison. As for outside the Heavenly Prison, he did not care.

Zhuang Yifei was slightly unwilling, but finally bowed. "I will listen to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's instructions. However, I have one more uninvited request."

"Speak!"

"Please let the Heavenly Prison take me into custody!"

Eh?

In this day and age, there are actually people who voluntarily request to be imprisoned.

"I won't hide it from Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, the man surnamed Geng spent a lot of money to hire a group of Wu Lin scum to intercept and kill me. These people will not stop until they reach their goal, endlessly, and I am also suffering. I thought about it, rather than going out and having to guard against thieves every day, it is better to stay in the Heavenly Prison. I believe there is no place in the world safer than the Heavenly Prison."

Good eye!

Chen Guanlou gave a smug laugh.

Other things he dared not say, but safety, the Heavenly Prison could still guarantee.

As for those who died in the Heavenly Prison, it was only because they were unlucky, not because the Heavenly Prison was unsafe.

But...

Before Chen Guanlou could express his stance, Zhuang Yifei preemptively said: "I can give money."

Oh my, very sensible!

Compared to Geng Yushi, Chen Guanlou clearly appreciated the man surnamed Zhuang more; he was a sensible and tactful person. Geng Yushi's face was truly a bit disgusting, and he could not look at it.

However, he still said very embarrassedly: "It's against the rules!"

"Please Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, make an exception!" Zhuang Yifei bowed again.

"You want to stay in the Heavenly Prison for imprisonment; besides safety, could it be that you want to be close to the water to get the moon first, and keep a close eye on Geng Yushi? As soon as he leaves the Heavenly Prison, you will seize the opportunity to kill him?"

Zhuang Yifei was exposed in his little calculation, but he was not panicked, saying calmly: "I won't hide it from Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, I do have this plan. Sir, rest assured, I will definitely not mess around in the Heavenly Prison. The grievances between the Zhuang and Geng families are time to be settled. In the end, either he dies or I die! Between him and me, one of us must die."

"Are you sure you can win? Comparing black-heartedness, you cannot compare to Geng Yushi. Comparing means, you also cannot compare to him. Even your skin, you are not as thick as his. If you had one thing that surpassed him, you wouldn't have fallen to such a miserable state today."

Zhuang Yifei was very embarrassed. "But I dare to risk my life! I don't believe he dares to risk his life with me. He is afraid of death, I am not! Just because of this point, I can win against him."

Chen Guanlou nodded slightly; it made some sense.

"Alright, I will allow you to stay in the Heavenly Prison to avoid disaster. Just go to the Bing-block prison."

Chen Quan was listening on the side and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, the Bing-block prison is crowded and mixed; won't it be a bit noisy?"

Accepting outsiders at will, doing this is definitely illegal and against the rules.

Chen Quan was worried that if the matter spread, it would be detrimental to the Heavenly Prison.

Chen Guanlou, however, laughed: "We can't place him in the Jia-block prison; that would be truly against the rules. As for the Yi-block prison, I don't trust Prison Clerk Miao. The Bing-block prison has always been messy, which is actually the most suitable. Change him into a set of clothes. Since he is in prison, he should look like he is in prison. Dressing so decently, is that appropriate?" ===== CHAPTER 947 =====
