Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Chen Guanlou frowned, "I don't believe it. He cherishes his life so much and is afraid of death. How could he have the courage to commit suicide by taking poison. If we look into the source of the poison, we might gain something."

"If I remember correctly, Brother Chen is a jailer, guarding prisoners, not investigating and arresting prisoners. Brother Chen, you have crossed the line!" Zhao Mingqiao's attitude was very rude, and he seemed to dislike Chen Guanlou's meddlesomeness.

Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He still looked the same as in his memory, but his expression and attitude had clearly changed. He was no longer the passionate young man with ideals in the past, but now stood in front of him was a deep-minded official.

"It seems that you know the inside story very well." Chen Guanlou played straight and did not use roundabout methods.

Zhao Mingqiao avoided his eyes, looked at the sky, and said softly: "Some things are unavoidable."

Chen Guanlou's imagination was wide open, and an extremely absurd and bold guess suddenly popped up in his mind, "You...don't forget, he is your teacher. Heaven and Earth Lord, if this matter spreads, you will be completely finished. "

He who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors ranks first in social death. Neither the officialdom nor the literati would tolerate it. Once word of this gets out, Zhao Mingqiao will shed his skin even if he doesn't die, and will be completely removed from the officialdom from then on, with no possibility of turning over.

There are some things you can think and even say, but you absolutely cannot do.

"Are you crazy?"

"I don't understand what Brother Chen said, what do you mean?" Zhao Mingqiao refused to admit it.

"You are playing this trick with me." Chen Guanlou sneered, "Don't forget that I am in charge of prisoners. I have never seen what kind of prisoners, what kind of methods and thoughts I have never seen. You are in front of me It’s a bit too young to play this game.”

Zhao Mingqiao's face darkened, annoyed that he was not experienced enough. He lowered his voice and said angrily: "Then what do you want me to say? I said it from the beginning, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."

"Don't worry, I won't meddle in other people's business. I won't interfere with the grudges between you and Lu Mingchuan. I just remind you to never forget your original intention."

With Chen Guanlou's guarantee, Zhao Mingqiao was obviously relieved.

He said slowly, "Jin Yiwei is secretly investigating the teacher. Even if I didn't do anything, he would still be here today. I just sped up the progress a little."

Chen Guanlou was surprised to hear Zhao Mingqiao's honesty with his own ears, even though he had guessed it before.

After a while to calm down, he said: "You are really going from one extreme to another. Be careful of playing with fire and burning yourself!"

Zhao Mingqiao laughed at himself, "I have long been prepared to lose my reputation and die."

"No, you didn't do it well. I just deceived you. You didn't see how panicked your expression was. Zhao Mingqiao, if you want to walk a tightrope, you're still too young. You can't express your emotions and anger. Yu Se. You are too arrogant and will get burned sooner or later. Don’t think that what you do is very secretive. I can see it and others will naturally see it too. "

Chen Guanlou patted him on the shoulder and finally said, "Just take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

He did not expect that the first major thing Zhao Mingqiao did after being released from prison was to kill Lu Mingchuan with his own hands. The other party is still the passionate young man who went to extremes. The difference is that before he only had extreme thoughts and naive ideals. Now, the methods have become extreme.

It is useless to reason with such people who have a strong sense of belief. They are very good at self-PUA. They are not only good at washing other people's brains, but also good at washing their own brains. His faith is so firm that even ten cows cannot pull him back. Even if you hit the wall, you will never look back.

This point seems to be the same as that of the gang of religious bandits, they are all a group of weaklings who cannot be killed. The difference is that one is standing in the light and the other is standing in the darkness, but both are doing shameful things.

He took a pot of wine home, poured it for himself, blew the night wind, and thought about the gap between people, which was even greater than the gap between humans and animals.

Just when he was drinking vigorously, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

He thought it was a neighbor and opened the courtyard door directly.

The person outside the door is not a neighbor, but Zhao Mingqiao whom I met today.

In just a few hours, the person became obviously depressed.

Zhao Mingqiao stood at the entrance of the courtyard, with a tangled and hesitant look on his face, but finally regained his composure, "The Ministry of Punishment has decided to close the case. The Lu family has set up a funeral shed. Because of the hot weather, the funeral can only be held for three days."

"Come in and talk." Chen Guanlou looked calm. He had already figured it out: respect the fate of others and put aside the temptation to help others.

Zhao Mingqiao doesn't need his help, this person has the right ideas than anyone else.

It's just a bit surprising that the other party would come looking for me so late.

Thankfully the curfew has been lifted.

Otherwise, walking on the street in the middle of the night and being caught by the Jin Yiwei would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble.

Zhao Mingqiao had been to Chen's house before, in the small courtyard, and the two of them drank and bragged together. The time at that time was very simple, but full of beauty.

The small courtyard is still the same small courtyard, and the people have not changed, but the state of mind has long since changed.

There are still squeaking bamboo chairs and an uneven table. The corners of the table have to be placed with broken tiles to prevent them from shaking.

Seeing the wine on the table, he was not polite and directly picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.

Chen Guanlou silently added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, took another pot of wine, and poured him a glass, "Aren't you tired for coming here so late?"

"It's not too tiring to deal with six doors."

"That's right. With your intelligence, it's easy to play tricks on those people from the Six Sects. You have to be lucky that this is a suicide case, and the people sent by the Six Sects are all inexperienced crooks. If When you meet a veteran from the Six Doors, you can tell that there is something fishy about this case. He suddenly committed suicide. Haha! Even if Jinyiwei was secretly investigating, he wouldn't be so anxious and guilty, right?"

Chen Guanlou joked.

Zhao Mingqiao looked at him with squinted eyes, "Is it really so obvious?"

Chen Guanlou sarcastically said: "I have only dealt with Lu Mingchuan for a few days, and even I know that he is a person who is afraid of death and cherishes his life. What will other people think? Especially those colleagues and old friends who are familiar with him? Lu Mingchuan's reputation He is so worried and is about to go all out to win the favor of the old emperor. Why do he choose to commit suicide? There are too many flaws! "

"What if there is a last resort?" Zhao Mingqiao asked.

"What reason can there be?"

"For example, he was one of the planners and promoters of the case of deposed prince."

puff!

The wine in Chen Guanlou's mouth sprayed out directly.

"Are you serious?"

Zhao Mingqiao was holding the wine glass, looking confident that everything was under control, changing from the panic he had felt when he was at the Lu family. Obviously, these few hours were not in vain. He had reviewed the matter several times from beginning to end, checking for any omissions and filling in the gaps.

"What is true and what is false? In this court, where everyone speaks the truth, even if it is false, it will still be true. If everyone speaks false, even if it is true, it will become false. Brother Chen, you Do you think I am acting out of selfish motives? No, I am acting out of public motives. From the beginning to the end, I have not changed.”
