Xiao Jin's second investigation had no results, which was expected. As usual, it was reported to the Ministry of Punishment that King Ming was still alive after being poisoned. He just wanted to come to the Ministry of Punishment for a formality. Unexpectedly, Sun Daoning and Sun Shilang came to Tianlao incognito to talk to Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou first greeted him and then asked directly: "Sir, would you like to go to the prison to take a look at the situation of King Daming?" "Is someone dead?" "Not dead!" "As long as you're not dead, I won't go down." Chen Guanlou was confused, wasn't he here for the Ming Dynasty King? That’s not right! Apart from King Daming, there should be no one else in Tianlao who deserves special attention. "My lord is inspecting the prison, do you have any orders? I will definitely go through fire and water." "What you say is better than what you sing. I heard that you secretly poisoned King Ming?"
"To be honest, sir, there are quite a few people outside who want to kill the Ming Dynasty. Rather than letting outsiders mess around, it is better for Tianlao to take action and save a lot of trouble. Moreover, Medical Officer Mu can control the amount of poison. Make sure you don’t die and live safely until next spring.” "Well, I'm not here to ask questions. Since your method is feasible, let's implement it." Sun Daoning's expression was indifferent, which made people confused. Chen Guanlou thought about it and made various speculations, "Sir, do you want King Ming to die in the Heavenly Prison?" "Presumptuous!" Sun Daoning glanced at Chen Guanlou, "My official reputation is so pure that I cannot allow you to slander me wantonly. Chen Guanlou, please don't be too presumptuous." "Sir, please calm down! The young man talks nonsense. You, sir, have a lot. Don't try to be the same as the young man." "I will spare you this time. Now that King Ming is in your hands, you can keep an eye on him. I will ask someone to bring over a batch of medicinal materials. You tell the medical officer to keep King Ming well and don't do anything." Error. Remember?" Chen Guanlou nodded heavily in agreement, and then watched Sun Daoning leave. It came suddenly and left very quickly, mysteriously, giving people the illusion of being invisible. After much thought, he still called Medical Officer Mu, and the two of them murmured privately, "What do you mean by Shi Lang Sun? Does he hope that King Ming will die, or does he not hope that King Ming will die?" "Maybe it's both." Medical Officer Mu drank tea and said casually: "If Daming King, a hot potato, really wants to die in the prison, it may not be a bad thing." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "You are hoping for bad luck in Tianlao, right?" "Looking at next year's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, I have a hunch that there will be no peace at next year's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Think about it, if the Ming Dynasty dies, there will be no Tianlao matters in next year's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and Tianlao can completely stay out of it." "Tian Lao is only responsible for escorting people to the vicinity of the ceremony. What happens after that has nothing to do with Tian Lao. No matter how decent Tian Lao is, he will not be able to enter the ceremony venue. You are worrying too much." Medical Officer Mu chuckled, "You think things are too simple. If you really want to lay charges, it doesn't matter whether you are close to the ceremony or not, I'm sure there will be a bunch of charges on your head." "I'm just a jailer, the people above me can't deal with me." "It's true that I don't have to deal with you, but I can take this opportunity to cause something to happen. I'm afraid the Hou Mansion can't protect you from a storm of that level. That's why I said that it might not be a bad thing if the Ming Dynasty King really wants to die in the sky prison. At least the storm didn't So big." Chen Guanlou couldn't help but think. "You mean to strike first and kill the Ming King first?" Medical Officer Mu had a distorted look on his face, "What I mean is that I'm afraid that Mr. Sun and the others haven't made up their mind yet. They haven't made up their minds yet on how far they want to go."
"These officials are hesitant in doing things, so it is really difficult for them to achieve great things." Chen Guanlou sneered. "If Sun Daoning comes to Tianlao again one day, he must have made up his mind. By then, you should make a decision." Chen Guanlou gritted his teeth and thought, there is no benefit at all in being a knife in other people's hands. He is really not happy with this kind of loss-making business. However, Medical Officer Mu advised: "Don't hesitate at the critical moment. In your position, you can't get in touch with people at a higher level, so you might as well go all the way to the dark side, be loyal to the Ministry of Punishment, be loyal to Sun Daoning, and seek peace." "Old Mu, is your idea reliable? It sounds to me like you are digging a hole for me to jump into, hoping that I will kill King Ming as soon as possible. You want him to die so much, why not just poison him." "If I kill him, I don't need to poison him at all. I can do it without anyone noticing. I won't give you a chance to catch me." Medical Officer Mu snorted coldly, feeling extraordinarily sure and confident. With his medical skills, it was not difficult to save people, but it was even easier to kill them. Chen Guanlou bared his teeth. He knew that Medical Officer Mu was not innocent, but he did not intend to investigate further, or even to stop him. If Medical Officer Mu really wanted to kill the Ming Dynasty King, maybe he would help him out. "Whenever you take action, remember to tell me in advance and I will help you deal with the aftermath." He joked. Medical Officer Mu looked at him in disbelief, "Are you kidding?" "Just think I'm joking. Then do you want to kill King Ming?" Medical Officer Mu frowned, "I have no enmity or enmity with him. What would I do to kill him?" "Make money! There are a lot of people out there buying the life of King Ming Dynasty with money. Let me tell you, if you don't have five thousand taels, you can't do this job. If you do it, you will lose money. If I were to do this job, I wouldn't have ten thousand taels." , don’t get involved.” "Why is your price twice as high as mine?" "Because my worth is higher than yours." Chen Guanlou said matter-of-factly. Medical Officer Mu looked speechless, then asked curiously, "Is someone looking for you?" "Is anyone looking for you?" The two of them tested each other and guessed each other's riddles. Then, hehehe, they laughed in unison. "Then wait!" "Wait!" "Wait for Sun Daoning's determination. I guess these people won't make up their minds until next year. No wonder people say that it takes three years for a scholar to rebel." "Have you ever thought about helping Minister Sun make up his mind?" Chen Guanlou sneered, "I'm not his father!" The two finished their tea and dispersed. Chen Guanlou didn't want to go to the prison, and didn't want to listen to the repeated nonsense of the Ming King. Every time they met, he would persuade him to rebel, and there was no sign of giving up. He deeply admired the willpower and determination of these people who were engaged in the rebellion. If it were him, he would not have such strong patience and tenacity. After get off work, he went home with wine and food. The eldest uncle in the clan invited him to drink and thank him. Chen Guanlou happily accepted the appointment.
The struggle for power in the clan elders' meeting has come to an end. Chen Guanfu, the son of the Marquis's mansion, personally came forward to take care of clan affairs. After clearing out several elders and recruiting new people, the uncle in the clan was on the list and became one of the executive deputy clan leaders as he wished. "Congratulations, uncle!" "Let's celebrate together! Alas, it's a pity that the prince not only promoted me, but also promoted two others." Chen Guanlou understood, "The prince holds military power and is well aware of the principle of checks and balances. The triangle is the most stable. In any case, the uncle's wish has come true, and I will rely on you to take care of him in the future." "Hahaha... This time, thanks to you, you created such a good opportunity. Don't worry, with me here, no one in the clan dares to take advantage of your business."
