In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here. Time has entered the forty-sixth year of Taixing. In early spring, the weather in Beijing turns from warm to cold. People still wear thick winter clothes and live their lives looking at God's face every day. In the first chapter of "The Record of Ascension to Heaven", Chen Guanlou finally reached Dzogchen and started practicing in the second chapter. Then, he felt what it means to make rapid progress and what it means to make a qualitative leap. His progress is visible to the naked eye, and it can be said that he is making rapid progress. The joyful sense of accomplishment brought about by the rapid improvement in strength has eliminated the depression caused by working in Tianlao in one fell swoop. If the first chapter of practicing "The Record of Ascension" involves climbing a snow-capped mountain on a plateau, you will feel like you are going to die at any time. Then the second part of the practice is to stroll on the plains and smooth roads, leisurely and comfortable. Because the Immortal Path and Fruit were covered by the "Ascension Record", others only thought he was an ordinary martial artist and could not see the inner strength and mental skills he possessed at all. Because his strength has increased, he is a little eager to try it. He can't wait to find someone to practice with and evaluate his level of strength. Late at night, he disguised himself as a middle-aged martial arts rough guy. Looking at his new appearance in the mirror, no one would associate the middle-aged man in the mirror with the young Chen Guanlou.
Masked, climbed over the wall and went out, the target was Manager Liu's only way home. He had already found out clearly that Manager Liu went out drinking and came home in the middle of the night. He always took a shortcut home. Guanshi Liu is of first-class strength. They only know each other, but are not familiar with each other. Regardless of winning or losing, he is not worried about being recognized by the other party. Lying in ambush in the alleyway, when he got to Manager Liu's carriage, he suddenly rushed out, knocked out the driver's boy, and rushed to kill Manager Liu in the carriage. Oops, there were two people in the carriage. No matter! Manager Liu was suddenly attacked. He didn't have time to think too much. He just blocked the first knife that was aimed at him. The first-level warrior used all his strength and started fighting with the assassin in the dark alley. Only an angry wind lamp fell in the corner, giving a little light to this dark night. The surrounding residents seemed to be dead. No one opened the door, and no one even hid behind the door to peek. After ten moves, Chen Guanlou decisively stopped, jumped up and ran away. There is no need to keep fighting. Because he is already sure of victory. In his eyes, being a first-level warrior is no longer a concern. He has a chance to kill Guanshi Liu with the seventh move. With the eighth move, he can cut off the opponent's arm. With the ninth move, he can stab the opponent in the abdomen. With the tenth move, he can stab the opponent in the abdomen. Just feint and leave. After proving yourself, there is no need to stay, just leave decisively. As for Manager Liu, who was messy in the wind, puzzled over the assassination, and overly imaginative, Chen Guanlou would naturally not care. He is very excited! After returning home and regaining his appearance, he held the knife in his hand and was so excited that he felt the supreme enjoyment. "It's time to change weapons." The knife in his hand was too ordinary, just a commodity. When encountering a real magic weapon, the knife will be broken into two pieces in one round. With money on hand, he went to the blacksmith's shop the next day and asked the blacksmith to make him a handy weapon. The price is negotiable, but the key is that the materials used must be good enough.
The blacksmith took the deposit and asked him to pick up the goods a month later. After finishing his personal affairs, Chen Guanlou came to Tianlai as an errand. Night shift this month. The night shift is actually very relaxing as long as nothing happens. If you feel sleepy, you can go to the dormitory behind the duty room and take a nap. The duty room in the A-shaped prison turned into a gambling den at night. Gambling ghosts from big and small jails shaped like B and big and small jails shaped like C are all here. He also met Lu Datou. A year later, Lu Datou's head seemed to have grown bigger again, and the fat on his face was trembling. Fortunately, his face was still honest. The two greeted each other. Lu Datou was busy gambling, and soon he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the gambling. There are big bets and there are small bets. Qian Fugui and others, after finishing their inspection tour, joined in the lively small gambling game. Everyone greeted Chen Guanlou warmly and asked him to gamble. Chen Guanlou waved his hands repeatedly and declined with a smile. In his life, he has been sworn in with gambling and drugs. Moreover, smelling the stench of old gamblers is really disgusting. I don't know how many days it has been since I changed my clothes. Yu Zhaoan was thrown into the sky jail. For such a long time, he was neither interrogated nor asked a question, as if he had been forgotten. Fortunately, Yu's family sent money to Tianlao from time to time, and Yu Zhaoan's treatment was still the same. He had a bed, bedding, a clean toilet, edible meals, and books to read. He made several requests to write with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but Chen Guanlou refused unceremoniously. Just one reason, "It is strictly forbidden to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Tianlao. Unless you are about to be taken to the execution ground, or there is an explanation from above." He acted according to the rules on the surface, and no one could blame him. Besides, Yu Zhaoan was originally imprisoned in the prison because he offended the old emperor. Given pen, ink, paper and inkstone, what if he writes articles that are unfavorable to the old emperor and specifically scolds the old emperor? Everyone will be held accountable then! Danger must be nipped in the bud. When Yu Zhaoan's request was not met, he kept a long face all day long and treated all the jailers without words. Sure enough, the stones in the latrine were smelly and hard. I thought this situation would last for a long time. In the blink of an eye, in March, people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came. Seeing the censor walking into the Tianlao, Chen Guanlou was shocked in his heart. The second person in Guanshi Liu's carriage that night was the censor. Censor, Manager Liu of the Hou Mansion? How did these two get together? Why did they ride in the same carriage in the middle of the night?
Could it be that the Marquisate was also related to Yu Zhaoan's case and wanted to protect Yu Zhaoan? He only knew that Yu Zhaoan's wife was a relative of the Marquisate. However, the Marquisate was not a charity, and it was impossible for them to help just because they were relatives. Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was Yu Zhaoan's backer, and it was not the Marquisate's turn to help. He told Xiao Jin, "Take Su Yushi to see Yu Zhaoan and pay more attention to the situation between them." Among the four jailers under his command, Xiao Jin was the most flexible and resourceful. Although he was a greasy middle-aged man, he was still reliable in doing things. Xiao Jin nodded and left. Chen Guanlou had been waiting for news. He waited until Su Yushi left before calling Xiao Jin, "Do you know what they said?" "I'm sorry to disappoint Chen. Yu Zhaoan didn't allow me to get close to the cell, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about. However, they started arguing. I saw that Yu Zhaoan got angry and punched the wall. Su Yushi's expression was not very good either. It seems that there is a big conflict between the two." Chen Guanlou has never been in the officialdom. All his judgments come from the information bombardment in his previous life, and the influence of a large number of film and television works and novels. This allows him to stand on the shoulders of giants and analyze and judge the current situation as a bystander. It's just that this time, he is a little unsure. But he can ask for advice. In the huge prison, who is familiar with Zhaoan is none other than Lord Jin.
