It was dawn, but the capital seemed to be dead and refused to wake up for a long time.

Every house is closed, no matter big or small. Everyone hid behind the crack in the door to observe what was going on. Not to mention anyone on the street, there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

Even the people who collect night scents are hiding in their homes. As a result, some areas in the city with poor sanitation are filled with the smell of human and animal excrement. The smell was so exciting that even the officers and soldiers of the Artifact Battalion were unwilling to take a step closer.

The sanitary conditions of the Tianlao can still be maintained.

However, in ten days and a half, the prison will turn into a cesspool.

Several hundred people were eating, drinking, and eating. No one dared to think deeply about that number. If a manure collector does not go to work for a day, sooner or later he will face the terrifying situation of being surrounded by manure.

Chen Guanlou couldn't stand the stimulation of various flavors strung together. For the sake of his nose, he closed his five senses early and became a dull person.

More officers and soldiers took to the streets, identified by their uniforms, including the Royal Guards and the Shenrui Battalion. The Jin Yiwei also went to the streets, but they saw no officers and soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, nor the officers and soldiers from the city defense camp.

A group of jailers were hiding in the tower, looking into the distance. Everyone is confused about the situation outside. There are so many officers and soldiers taking to the streets, but no official is seen to come forward. Let these soldiers and gangsters cause trouble. What is going on.

Those who can't be officials will all die.

"Should we send someone out to inquire?"

"Where can I find out?"

"The Jin Yiwei next door."

"Beware of being treated as a spy and killed. At this time, Jin Yiwei kills without regard to the law, and his death will be in vain."

"Look for a familiar face. We can't wait in such confusion. Even if we rebel, we still need to know who is rebelling."

"It's time to send someone out to investigate. Anyway, the prison is next door, and they are well-informed."

But who to send?

Everyone looked at each other.

You look at me and I look at you, everyone cherishes their lives, but no one is willing to take the initiative to stand up.

"I'll go."

After a long silence, Chen Guanlou stood up. He wanted to take the opportunity to get some air outside and didn't want to be kept in the dark. He also wanted to visit his eldest sister's house, which was always on his mind. He also wanted to go home, take a shower, and get two changes of clothes. He even wanted to sneak into the palace and take a sneak peek, but he was worried that he would be discovered by the Grand Master and die without a burial place.

"Xiao Chen, are you sure?" Xu Fugui was surprised. People who have just been promoted are supposed to cherish their lives the most. How can we be willing to take risks before we can enjoy the benefits brought by our rights? It would be a shame if he died outside.

According to Xu Fugui's idea, just send a jailer out, such as Lu Datou, or Lu Datou, it must be Lu Datou. If this thorn can be solved by taking the opportunity, a lot of things will be saved.

Chen Guanlou affirmed: "No one is more suitable than me. At least I still have some ability to protect myself. In case of encounter, with my status as a member of the Chen family, I still have a glimmer of hope. Others do not have this amulet."

Xu Fugui:...

He couldn't refute it at all.

In terms of family background, indeed no one can compare with Chen Guanlou. A member of the Chen clan in the capital, and a relative of the Marquis Mansion in Pingjiang. Based on Pingjiang Hou's prestige in the military, so many generals have received the care of the Hou Mansion. As long as Chen Guanlou reveals his identity, I believe no one will make things difficult for him.

"Xiao Chen, I'll leave it to you. If it's something you can't do, there's no need to force it." Xu Fugui was sincere for a rare moment.

Other wardens also sent encouragement and blessings.

Only Xiao Jin and a few others firmly opposed it.

They belong to Chen Guanlou's direct lineage, and Chen Guanlou's safety is related to everyone's safety and future. How could he be allowed to go out and take risks?

"Boss, let me go, my life is cheap!" Liu She was the first to ask for help.

"What nonsense are you talking about! My surname is Chen. My surname alone can save my life. Over the years, there has been no precedent of any government arresting a member of the Chen clan and convicting and beheading them. Even if it is a rebellion, no matter who is rebelling Whoever it is, they have to win over Xungui.

What's more, my eldest brother is currently leading troops outside and can send troops back to Beijing at any time. Therefore, my head is very strong and no one can take it away. Those officers and soldiers couldn't take it away either. Moreover, I practice martial arts every day, so I still have the ability to protect myself. What do you have? There is nothing but a cheap life. If you die, you will die. Thank you! Okay, okay, just say a few words. "

Chen Guanlou changed into regular clothes, put on his identity tag with a waist knife, and left the prison in a hanging basket.

Once the door of Tianlao is closed, it will never be opened until there is peace. This was a rule set from the beginning. Therefore, the only way to enter and exit Chen Guan Tower is by hanging basket.

Stepping out of the hanging basket and stepping on the ground, I felt a rare sense of solidity.

I never felt that coming home from get off work was such a happy thing before. It was very common, every day. But after being imprisoned for a day and a night, I suddenly realized that the true meaning of happiness is to be able to go home from get off work normally.

Guarding hundreds of prisoners with fear, even though it only lasted a day and a night, it was enough to make people suffer internally.

He looked around, followed the wall, and quickly ran towards the prison next door. He can't run too fast and show his true strength. He's not wearing a vest now, so he can't expose himself.

He ran to the gate of the imperial prison and banged the door knocker.

"Next door, I, Chen Guanlou, have just been promoted to jailer. I am a good brother with Lu Datou. Open the door quickly and let me in."

"I don't know you!" An impatient roar came from inside, "Get out!"

"My surname is Chen, the Chen of Pingjiang Marquis, the Chen Guanlou who has studied." Chen Guanlou shouted at the top of his voice. He couldn't shout, he had to suppress his voice.

There was no movement for a long while.

Chen Guanlou was impatient and was about to knock on the door again when a hanging basket dropped from above.

Chen Guanlou: ...

It's still the reputation of the Pingjiang Marquis' Mansion that works. The gossip about a scholar being a jailer seems to spread far and wide, which is much more effective than his name.

You may not know Chen Guanlou, but everyone knows that there is a guy in Tianlao who has studied and is a member of the Marquis's family. He has fallen into depravity and become a jailer. This matter has long been spread among his peers and even the major government offices in the capital.

When it comes to Chen Guanlou, I don't know him. But when it comes to the matter of falling into depravity and becoming a jailer, I must know! Rare gossip, I will remember it ten or twenty years later.

Chen Guanlou sat on the hanging basket, slowly ascended, and finally entered the imperial prison.

The same type of turret, a group of jailers and Jinyiwei, surrounded him as if they were seeing something strange.

"Are you the Chen clan member?"

"Have you really been educated?"

"You've lost face for your ancestors, but didn't the Marquisate expel you?"

"You look like a pretty boy, why don't you think of becoming a jailer? It would be great if you could just find a rich woman and live a life of luxury!"

Chen Guanlou's mouth twitched, "Everyone, I came here to ask, what exactly happened outside? You are well-informed. I heard that the Jinyiwei have taken to the streets. Can you tell me something?"

"What else could it be? Rebellion."

"Who is rebelling?"

"It could be the prince, or it could be someone else."

"The Jinyiwei don't know either? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Everyone is talking about rebellion, but no one knows who is rebelling, and the capital is already in chaos."
