With nothing to do, Chen Guanlou set foot in the deepest part of the A-shaped prison for the first time in many years. There is a prisoner who has been detained here for more than thirty years.

There is no file, no roster, and it is said to have been lost.

Every day, only the oldest handyman would go deep into the darkness to clean and deliver meals.

The torch in his hand crackled and burned.

Chen Guanlou followed the firelight and looked deeper.

The sudden firelight irritated the prisoner in the cell, who covered his eyes with his arms.

black!

white!

This was Chen Guanlou's first impression when he saw the other party.

Black means that the whole body is as black as ink, and the original color of the prison clothes has long been lost.

His hair and beard were all white. The exposed skin is also gray and white after not seeing the sun all year round.

"I am the newly appointed warden. What should I call you, sir?"

"Sir?" The pronunciation of the other party was normal. Maybe the handyman would talk to him on weekdays, or he might talk to himself. Overall, language skills are maintained well.

"You call me lord?"

"Shouldn't it be called that?" Chen Guanlou asked the other party.

"Of course not. I am a prisoner and you are the warder. How can you call a prisoner an adult?"

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly, "May I ask your name? How should I be called?"

"What year is this?" The other person kept leaning against the wall and refused to come out. It seems that he is afraid of the light and afraid of change.

"Don't you know? This year is the forty-ninth year of Taixing."

"Has it been forty-nine years? So, he has been emperor for almost fifty years."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

"hey-hey……"

"Who exactly are you? Why were you imprisoned in the sky prison for more than thirty years at a time?"

"Who am I? Haha, who am I! Hahaha..." The other party laughed loudly.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party's behavior with cold eyes.

"I'm afraid the world has forgotten me. You young people must have never heard of me. Hahaha, who am I? Who am I?"

"Is it possible that you have forgotten your identity?"

"No, no, of course I remember."

"Then why didn't you say it."

The other party suddenly became silent.

Chen Guanlou was a little dissatisfied, "Although you are still alive, in the eyes of the world, you are dead. People will go through two stages of death, one is the death of the physical body, and the other is being forgotten by everyone. Your physical body is still there, but you have already Dead. Tell me your identity and you can survive."

After the words fell, the other person's breathing became obviously heavy. It could feel that he was overwhelmed and was suffering from inner pain.

"You really want to know who I am?"

"Yes! As a warden, I must know the situation of every prisoner in the A-shaped prison, and you are no exception. If possible, I can even transfer you to a cell with better conditions outside, at least every day Can see the sun."

"Sunshine!?" The other party murmured to himself, "Who am I? I am the consort of Princess Luyang of the current dynasty, the admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the first-class general Wang Qiren."

Chen Guanlou:......

There is no fluctuation in my heart.

Because it is so unfamiliar, there is no such person as Princess Luyang in the court, and I have never heard of it.

He frowned and thought for a while, "I don't remember Princess Lu Yang. Don't talk nonsense."

"Hahaha... As expected. He can do this. He has basically obliterated our existence. As you said, being forgotten by the world, even if the body is immortal, the person is already dead. Wuwu..."

"Are you really Princess Luyang's consort?"

"Replacement guaranteed?"

"How did you end up like this? You can only kill people with a nod of your head."

"Is it difficult for him to kill someone?" Wang Qiren suddenly rushed to the cell door, looking extremely excited and indignant. "For him, killing someone is the simplest thing in the world. He only needs to frown. With a frown, a word, or a word, countless people will die physically because of this. How can he be so cheap to us? He wants us to live like a bed bug, the more miserable we are. The more satisfied he is. The world says he is wise and mighty, but he is clearly a tyrant."

Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, "If you are referring to the old emperor, his reputation has changed. He is no longer wise and powerful, and the courtiers call him a coward."

"I'm not surprised at all. This is his true face. Hahaha..."

Wang Qiren seems normal, but also crazy.

Anyone who is imprisoned in the depths of a dark prison will go crazy. It is very rare that he can still maintain an active mind and his language function has not deteriorated.

Chen Guanlou silently left the depths of the prison, his ears seemed to still echo with the other party's crazy laughter.

There is no such person in Tianlao's files.

What happened more than thirty years ago can only be inquired by the Hou Mansion. Maybe Du Fuzi has heard of it.

He would not rashly transfer him to prison before he figured out the ins and outs of the matter. He had to first determine whether anyone in the world still remembered Wang Qiren.

He called Qian Fugui, "Is there a wealthy family named Wang in the capital?"

"The surname is Wang, not Wang. I don't think there is one." Qian Fugui was not sure.

Chen Guanlou patted his head. He asked the wrong person about this. He should ask Lu Datou, not Qian Fugui.

Lu Datou has friends from all walks of life, and he has connections with all the big names in the capital. He could know exactly which direction the door of a house opened.

Lu Datou is a living know-it-all in the capital. He lives in a local household and is a native, so there is nothing he doesn't know.

Lu Datou escorted Lu Mingchuan to the palace, and he was very proud. On the way, he met several soldiers from the Artifact Battalion. They chatted for half an hour and started to call each other brothers. They agreed to go to the gambling house to gamble together another day. Xiao Jindu secretly admired Lu Datou's social skills. He threw him into a pile of scum and guaranteed that he would be like a fish in water.

Afterwards, Chen Guanlou gave the jailers a reward.

Lu Datou had a rare savings, so he couldn't go to the gambling house to gamble. The atmosphere in the prison was tense, and only small gambling was allowed. The money in his pocket was temporarily saved.

It was estimated that when the gate of the prison was opened, the first thing he would do was to rush into the gambling house and gamble for three days and nights.

Go home?

There was no such thing!

Home was not as important as gambling.

There was no hope.

Chen Guanlou asked him to have tea in the office, and asked casually: "Is there a wealthy family surnamed Wang in the capital?"

"How big is it?"

"Well, it's about the same size as the Marquis' Mansion."

"Then there isn't one." Lu Datou said affirmatively.

"Are there any smaller ones?"

"No. As far as I know, the richest family surnamed Wang has only a dozen shops and one or two hundred hectares of land. In the capital, it's just an ordinary wealthy family." Lu Datou was eating peanuts, and there was no wine, which was a little bit of a pity.

"Are you sure?"

"Hey! There's nothing I don't know about this place in the capital. If you don't believe me, go to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow and ask someone to see if I'm wrong. If you ask about the secrets of a wealthy family's inner house, I definitely don't know. But if you ask where a wealthy family lives and how much property they have, I'll tell you, I know it all."

"Then tell me how much property the Marquis' Mansion has?"

"It's hard to say. Many of the properties of the Marquis' Mansion are registered under the names of the aunts and uncles. Without account books, I guess the master of the Marquis' Mansion can't figure it out."
