The most important thing when living in a closed environment is to maintain emotional stability. As long as your mood is stable and everything is in order, things won't be too bad. There is no need to worry about man-made damage to the surrounding environment and irreparable consequences. Originally, some people in Tianlao were still taking a chance, thinking that the court was still stable, and the old emperor must be fine, and he would soon be able to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the situation. However, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth in the morning, the city gates opened, and the officers and soldiers entered the capital, everyone's luck was completely wiped out. The Artifact Battalion and the Shenrui Battalion entered the capital one after another. Last year, it was these two groups of officers and soldiers who caused chaos in the capital. Immediately afterwards, all the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also entered the capital. For a time, the capital became the territory of the three major camps. When the three camps met, a fight broke out. Now that there was no choice, everyone in Tianlao came together to block the gate and arrange for more people to patrol the tower. The prisoners in the prison were all given one meal a day, and there was no food or water. In the past, prisoners in the A-shaped prison could always see oil and water once every three or two days, not just every day. After all, after paying so much money, life should be better.
Chen Guan went downstairs to the prison to calm the prisoners' emotions. He didn't want a prisoner riot to occur. Xie Changling had a beard and looked extremely depressed. In recent times, I haven’t washed myself, nor have I paid to go out for a walk. When he saw Chen Guanlou, he said indifferently: "I want to go out!" Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "It's useless for you to tell me this. I'm not an official of the Ministry of Punishment, I'm just a warden, and I'm only responsible for guarding you." "Send me a letter to the Ministry of Punishment. I will thank you greatly afterwards." Don't say thank you to him. He has not received the sincere thanks from the Hou Mansion. He shook his head and told the other party, "The prison is sealed and no one is allowed in or out. There is no one to deliver the letter for you now." "What's the situation outside now?" Xie Changling was not in a hurry, his expression remained indifferent. It seemed that he was already prepared for his own situation and the current situation in Tianlao. "The three major battalions have entered the capital one after another, and there have been several fire fights. I don't know who won and who lost. There is no news about the situation in the palace. You want to ask me whether His Majesty is alive or dead. I'm sorry, I don't know anything. ” "There's no news from the Hou Mansion?" "No. It is said that the prince of the Hou family entered the palace, and then there was no news about him." Hearing this, Xie Changling suddenly frowned, "I want to get out, I have to get out. Others can't get out of the prison, but I know that Prisoner Chen, you must have a way to get out of the prison. Please go to the Ministry of Punishments and find a man named Ou. Official, just say that I asked you to go find him. You don’t need to worry about the follow-up matters. I will thank you deeply." Chen Guanlou shook his head and refused. Without seeing real money, he couldn't help. Especially now that the situation outside is unclear and there is a fight everywhere. He strictly abides by the saying that a gentleman should not build dangerous walls. Xie Changling gritted his teeth and said, "How about you go to Xie's house and collect the money with my handwritten letter. After you get the money, you can help me go to the Ministry of Justice." Chen Guanlou still refused. "What do you have to do to help me?"
"Master Xie, are you in such a hurry to get out? Do you know who blew up the altar? What can you do as a prisoner?" "Don't worry about what I can do. As long as you are willing to help me, I accept your favor. I will return this favor to you in the future, how about it?" "Have you not heard that I never eat pancakes? How much money do you plan to pay to help me deliver the message?" "How about one thousand taels?" This price, if placed in normal times, would definitely be considered market-destroying behavior and is too high. There are suspicions of price gouging. But now, just one thousand taels is too low. "Two thousand taels! If you take my handwriting and get to Xie's house, you can get the money. I promise." Chen Guanlou still didn't agree, "You officials are planning this thing today and that thing tomorrow, but why don't you plan it on yourself?" "Three thousand taels, along with a famous painting. This is the highest price I can offer. Prisoner Chen, please tell me whether it can be done or not." "Two thousand taels plus a painting, you owe me two favors." "make a deal!" Xie Changling was relieved. He wanted to go out, and he wanted to go out as soon as possible. If it was too late, he was afraid it would be too late. Chen Guanlou didn't ask what the other party was going to do. He never asked about these things. After taking Xie Changling's handwriting and letters, he could leave the prison quietly without disturbing anyone, walking through the gate, or climbing over the wall. First, go to Xie Mansion. The people in the Xie Mansion seemed to have been prepared for it. When they saw the handwriting, they didn't ask anything and readily gave the money and the painting. After that, he went to the Ministry of Punishment and saw an official named Ou. After handing Xie Changling's letter to him, he left. He gave the painting to Master Du and asked him to appreciate it. It is inconvenient to store antique calligraphy and paintings in Tianlao, as they are easily damaged. Master Du looked very surprised when he saw him, "Why did you come back suddenly? I thought you wouldn't come out of the prison until the matter was over." "Come out and take a walk. There are too many people detained in Tianlao, and the smell is a bit strong." "That's true. Let me tell you secretly that the Hou Mansion has been closed. The chief steward personally gave the order." "What's the meaning?" "Except for the side door for people to enter and exit, all other doors are sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit. The chief steward also mobilized a group of guards. It is said that they are all warriors and are responsible for protecting the safety of the Hou Mansion." "Is the situation so serious?" Chen Guanlou frowned slightly. "Who said it wasn't." Master Du looked worried. "Have you heard about the prince?" "I don't know!" Master Du was so worried, "I heard that the prince never came back after he went to the altar. I only know that the prince is safe, and I don't know anything else. Have you seen the prince?" "I would like to see the prince, but unfortunately I don't have the chance." Chen Guanlou wondered, could it be that Chen Guanfu was trapped in the palace?
What is the situation in the palace now? He looked in the direction of the palace. If he hadn't been worried about the Grand Master guarding the palace, he really wanted to sneak in and take a look. He hadn't really seen what the palace looked like. "Are there any movements from other noble families?" "I don't know! It's a mess everywhere right now. The Marquis' Mansion has issued an order that no one should go out unless necessary. At present, the Marquis' Mansion is relatively safe. The officers and soldiers are fighting and avoiding the Marquis' Mansion." "After all, the eldest master is famous. Even if you don't give face to the prince, you have to give face to the eldest master. Otherwise, the eldest master will lead the field army that has been killing bandits in the north for several years back to the capital, and all the three camps will lose their heads." The army that fights in the field every day versus the army that is locked up in the barracks every day, it is clear who will win and who will lose. It is no exaggeration to say that the army in the hands of the eldest master is the strongest fighting force in the Dagan Dynasty. There is no doubt about this. From this, it can be seen that the safety of the prince Chen Guanfu is definitely not a problem. The remaining problem is the conflict of interests. As for the truth, is it important? It is not important at all!
