Chen Guanlou kept his word. That day, Liu Jinxing was transferred to the A-shaped prison next to Li Ren, so that the two could discuss things. Chen Quan asked if he should send someone to watch and record the conversation between the two. Chen Guanlou waved his hand, "No need! The gods are fighting, and we, the little ghosts, should not get involved. Let them toss and turn. If they die one day, it's what they deserve." "I will obey your orders!" "Liu Jinxing is not expected to live long. Send someone to watch him. Don't let him die too suddenly, too ugly, or too obvious." Chen Quan's eyes changed and became very nervous. Huang Zhimin's lesson was right in front of him, and he didn't dare to let the prisoners in his jurisdiction die easily. Chen Guanlou knew what he was worried about. "Liu Jinxing is a commoner, it doesn't matter. If he dies, no one will pursue it. It's different from Huang Zhimin before. You don't have to be too nervous. But Li Ren must not die, at least not this year. You must keep an eye on him. Do you understand?" "I understand!" Then, Chen Quan asked curiously, "Why did you say that Li Ren must not die this year?" "The lawsuit of the Li family will not have a result for a while. You have done a great job by saving Li Ren's life."
Chen Quan stopped asking questions and took the order to make arrangements. Liu Jinxing was half dead. The former pretty boy now only had a barely presentable face. When he saw Li Ren, he cried and cried heartbreakingly. "I thought I would never see my brother-in-law again. Brother-in-law, save me, save me, I don't want to die." "Now I can't save myself, how can I save you. It took a lot of effort to transfer you to the A-shaped prison. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about being punished unless the higher-ups say so. You should take good care of your injuries. If you have any worries, just tell me and I'll find a way for you." After a pause, Li Ren said, "The Ministry of Justice will interrogate you in a few days. You should take care of yourself first. Later, I will teach you how to answer. Don't act on your own and lose your life." Liu Jinxing now relies on his brother-in-law. He will only nod and accept everything his brother-in-law says. He has no doubt about his brother-in-law's intentions. After get off work, go home. As soon as he entered the house, someone from the Marquis's Mansion invited him to come over for a chat. "Who invited me?" "The butler." "What did the butler invite me to do?" "I don't know, I'm just running errands and passing messages." "Okay, lead the way." This time, he didn't go through the back door, but the side door. When he entered the mansion, he met the women of the mansion who had returned from burning incense. A group of women, chirping, like three thousand ducks. Chen Guanlou felt his ears buzzing and his head ached. For a moment, he couldn't help but admire that there were a lot of women around the mansion. These women were jealous and quarreled in his ears every day, or whispered in his ears, and they didn't get annoyed for so many years. If it were him, he would probably drive all these women out on the spot, they were so noisy! Fortunately, after turning through a moon gate, he was far away from those women, and the noise was far away, and his ears finally quieted down.
The butler met him in the small study in the outer courtyard. According to the court reports, the war in the north has been stalemated in recent months, with little progress. The memorials urging for grain and military equipment have not stopped. Emperor Jianshi was very impatient and had issued two edicts in a row, urging the marquis to end the war in the north as soon as possible. The eldest master is very cunning. If the previous emperor was still alive, he might be more honest and dare not play too many tricks. Emperor Jianshi, haha, the eldest master is not afraid, so he naturally complains and delays in various ways, and deceives in various ways. In addition, the war in the south is also stalemate, and for a while, Emperor Jianshi can't do anything. He can't do anything to the eldest master, but he can create trouble for the prince Chen Guanfu. The prince Chen Guanfu is in charge of the Ministry of Works. Recently, he has been impeached frequently, and any small mistake will be magnified and criticized. Chen Guanlou wondered what the butler could do by asking him to come? He is a small prison warden and can't help the prince. As a result, he did not expect that the butler invited him here not for the prince, but for the Li family's case. Chen Guanlou immediately asked curiously, "Are the Marquis' Mansion and the Li family old friends?" "When the eldest master was studying in his early years, he was a classmate of Li Shangshu. Now that the Li family is in trouble, the other party is coming fiercely, and the Li family is struggling, so they want to ask the Marquis' Mansion for support." "The war has just started, and the Li family can't hold on, and they want to ask the Marquis' Mansion for support? Butler, are you kidding? The Li family can't be so weak." "Whether the Li family is weak or not, I don't know. I just follow orders. The eldest master personally ordered to ask the Marquis' Mansion to take care of it when necessary." Chen Guanlou pondered for a while, "I am just a small prison warden. All I can do is to keep an eye on the prisoners of the Li family. I am afraid I can't help with other things." "You are too modest. You have a close personal relationship with Sun Daoning and Sun Shangshu. Your words are more effective than anyone else. I know." There is really no wall that is impenetrable in the world. Chen Guanlou sneered, "I wonder what the prince's attitude is?" "The prince has no attitude towards the Li family." The implication is that it's okay to help or not to help. Chen Guanlou was a little disgusted that the Marquis' Mansion always found some shitty and lowly things to trouble him. "Butler, it's not that I don't want to help. The war has just begun. Even if the Marquis's Mansion wants to help, it should wait until the Li family has done their best. That's called helping in need. What can you get if you help now? Nothing but a thank you. It's such a simple truth, butler knows it. Besides, once you use a favor, it's gone. Although I have some friendship with Sun Daoning, why do you want me to speak for the Li family? Is it because the Li family is so shameless?" "Don't worry, the Li family will give you a generous gift later." "I won't accept any money." Chen Guanlou made his attitude clear and unambiguous. The implication was that he didn't plan to accept the money from the Li family, at least not now. "Let's wait and see for a while and see how strong the Li family is. Butler, don't you think so?" Chen Guanlou was making a sincere suggestion. How can you help someone in a war and end up in the first place? This is not a business that is rushed, and the Li family is not the real dragon emperor. The best time is to wait until the Li family is seriously injured and only has one breath left before taking action. That is a life-saving grace, and the grace is greater than heaven. The housekeeper thought for a while, "What you said makes sense. The master only ordered one or two support, and did not say when to start the support. Wait a minute, and let the Li family rush up to fight a few battles and see the situation. At that time, if you are needed, I hope you will not refuse." "That depends on the specific situation! Now I dare to promise you, but you dare not believe me." Chen Guanlou laughed and teased. The housekeeper laughed, this makes sense. Chen Guanlou is getting more and more promising.
