Chapter 950: Without evidence, stop talking nonsense

Pfft!

Chen Guanlou sprayed a mouthful of tea.

He really didn't expect that the eldest master had actually adopted the casual remark from back then.

He asked the eldest master in a low voice: "I heard that someone disturbed the Imperial Mausoleum and killed the Imperial Mausoleum guards; did you send people to do it?"

"Without evidence, stop talking nonsense." Marquis Pingjiang was righteous and stern, his expression not angry but prestigious, appearing exceptionally majestic. From his expression, one could only see official prestige. Besides that, nothing could be seen. Anger and joy were not revealed.

Can't guess!

Can Chen Guanlou be defeated by this little difficulty?

Obviously impossible!

He exerted his thick-skinned advantage and pursued: "Who else could it be but you. I only mentioned this casual remark to you. Others couldn't possibly know."

"Perhaps someone had the same idea as you. There are so many smart people in the world, and so many people who are good at using small things to win big. Don't underestimate the heroes of the world." Marquis Pingjiang had the attitude of an elder explaining to a junior.

Chen Guanlou's mouth twitched; he found that the eldest master's skin was even thicker than his.

"What kind of people in the world! With ability, execution, and not being afraid of being discovered, after synthesizing these conditions, how many people can there be in the world? Disturbing the Imperial Mausoleum, this is a capital crime that wipes out nine clans. May I ask, how many heroes in the world dare to do this? Throughout the dynasties, only in the end of the dynasty, when the world was full of smoke, would the event of the Imperial Mausoleum being insulted occur. Moreover, this kind of thing is easily scolded by the people of the world. Prince Chu is currently unable to protect himself, and certainly doesn't have this ability. Who else could it be but you?"

"Don't wrong this Marquis!"

Marquis Pingjiang scolded angrily. "This Marquis is an official of the imperial court; how could I do such an unfilial thing. I am not that vicious. Maybe it's some rebel. It's also possible that the emperor has offended too many people, so someone took a risk. Sigh... can't say, can't say!"

Marquis Pingjiang made his attitude clear; he would never admit it, no matter who asked, it was the same sentence: he was a minister, and if the monarch was insulted, the minister should die! As long as there was an order from the palace, he would lead troops to kill those rebellious ministers.

Chen Guanlou decisively changed the subject, not entangled in whether he did it or not, but asked: "Have the ends been cleaned up? Who did you send to do it, with such great courage, poking a hole in the sky. Aren't you afraid of being caught, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Marquis Pingjiang's gaze swept over him. "I don't know what you are talking about. If you have nothing to do, go out."

This is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!

"The assassin you mentioned, it's been several days, why hasn't he appeared yet?" Chen Guanlou was bored.

The Northwest frontier has nothing fun.

In terms of exquisiteness, diversity of play, the beauty and affection of women, and the degree of hook of the flower world, none of them are as good as the capital. After a long time, it becomes boring.

He wanted to return to the capital.

The capital is crowded and lively, with excitement to watch and gossip to listen to every three days, and the days are beautiful.

He didn't want to stay in the Northwest to eat sand for a long time.

"Now outsiders know that you are guarding this Marquis, and assassins also have brains and will cherish their lives, so naturally they dare not risk assassination. If you are bored, I will give you two days off, you can walk around and relax."

Chen Guanlou decisively left the camp to relax.

Ran to find the wild monk Liu Daowen.

When Liu Daowen saw him, he was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, why are you here again?"

"You don't welcome me?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean. I was just surprised; I heard that something big happened in the capital, why are you in the Northwest instead of the capital?"

"Don't you know? The old lady of the Hou Fu passed away, and I came to send a letter to Marquis Pingjiang. Did you forget that Marquis Pingjiang's surname is Chen?"

"Didn't forget, impossible to forget. Even if I forgot my own surname, I couldn't forget the Marquis's surname." Liu Daowen laughed, as fawning as ever, and still carried a trace of lewdness. His image was not very good.

In fact, he himself had a decent appearance. Officials, you know, none of them are ugly. Ugly people were eliminated during the imperial examination, unless they were exceptionally talented. It's just that temperament; having been a monk for so many years, he is still a wild monk who fools people, his heart is not sincere, nor is he clean enough, and his brain is still full of all kinds of messy thoughts.

"The old lady passed away, and the Hou Fu is afraid that it cannot avoid a change. Sigh... I am also a mess now; Marquis Pingjiang asked me to wait for his instructions, and it's been several days, and the imperial court's envoy hasn't arrived yet. Official Liu, you were mixed in the officialdom in the past; tell me, what is the Marquis's situation next, and what is the Hou Fu's situation?"

Chen Guanlou humbly asked for advice.

It is said that the bystander is clear.

And he is a bystander who has been in the officialdom and experienced life and death; he must have some ability. Maybe he can say something quite insightful.

Chen Guanlou never underestimated this group of officials; their brains are very good!

Liu Daowen really pondered seriously: "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is sure that the imperial court sent an envoy?"

"One hundred percent sure. Not only did the imperial court send people over, but the palace also sent people. Specifically what to do, can you guess?"

Liu Daowen nodded: "Naturally, I can guess a little. The imperial court's envoy, one is to express condolences, this is the intended meaning. Secondly, I am afraid it is to let the Marquis hand over the military power and return to the capital to observe mourning."

"But the Marquis has not yet submitted the memorial. He said he would wait until the people from the palace arrived before submitting the memorial."

"The memorial is not important whether it is early or late; what is important is that the old lady of the Hou Fu passed away, and the Marquis, as a son, cannot escape filial piety no matter what. Even if the old lady is not his biological mother, filial piety is filial piety. Unless the emperor is willing to take away the emotion. But this will inevitably cause criticism from the world's clear stream, which is detrimental to the Marquis's reputation."

"The Marquis is a noble, not a civil official; reputation is not that serious. The key is that the emperor certainly will not take away the emotion."

"Not necessarily!" Liu Daowen whispered: "I heard that the Imperial Mausoleum was disturbed, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found yet. If this matter is handled properly, even if the emperor is unwilling, I am afraid that in the end, he can only pinch his nose and issue an edict to take away the emotion."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, very curious: "Tell me carefully, how to operate it, to force the emperor to issue an edict to take away the emotion."

Liu Daowen smiled mysteriously, pretending to be a high-ranking person: "This depends on how many chips Marquis Pingjiang has in his hands. Different chips have different operating modes. It cannot be confused."

Chen Guanlou pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "When you were in the Wu Lin, did you rely on your brain to get to the Heavenly Prison?"

A fatal blow!

Liu Daowen was furious and broke his defense: "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, stop talking nonsense. The reason why I got to the Heavenly Prison is all because of those imperial censors and a group of pig teammates around me. When the late emperor passed away, if I were in the capital, maybe Jiang Tu would have a glimmer of life."

Bragging doesn't pay taxes; anyway, Jiang Tu is already dead, so just brag.

Chen Guanlou smiled, his expression clearly saying: Do you think I believe it?

Liu Daowen said eagerly: "I am not bragging. What is Jiang Tu's biggest crime? Isn't it bewitching the emperor and causing chaos in the court? If Jiang Tu could have provided a person with a higher status and identity at that time, he might not have been able to survive."

Chen Guanlou shook his head: "Precisely because Jiang Tu might have provided a person with a higher status and identity, he must die! Even if the emperor's golden mouth and jade words left his life, he would not see the sun of the next day."

Liu Daowen was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed so! ===== CHAPTER 951 =====
