Chapter 1005: A death warrant

Sun Daoning has been haggard recently, and he has aged a bit, with more white hair on his temples. His overall state doesn't look very good.

As soon as Chen Guanlou saw him, he started shouting, looking fussily. "Old Sun, what's wrong with you? You must take care of your health and don't have any accidents. If you have any shortcomings, and the position of Minister of Justice is changed, what should I do? Do you want me to kneel and lick the new Minister?"

Hearing this, Sun Daoning was half-dead with anger immediately.

"Can you hope for something good? I think the person in the Ministry of Justice who hopes for my death the most is you."

"Wrong! What kind of friendship do we have? I hope you live a long life every day. Is someone saying bad things about me behind my back? Old Sun, you must distinguish between loyal and treacherous, and don't be bewitched by some villains."

"There are so many people around me, and you are the one who knows how to bewitch people the most. Speak, what are you doing running to the Ministry of Justice? Can't you stay in the Heavenly Prison and be busy with your official business?"

"I came for serious business. Old Sun, is your body really okay?"

"I am very good, I can't die. What serious business?"

Chen Guanlou placed the file of Lord Bai and the bank notes packed in an envelope on the desk.

He bent his fingers and tapped the file lightly, saying: "This person, said he wants to see you. You make the decision, whether to see him or not."

"Who is it?" Sun Daoning hesitated for a moment before opening the file. "Bai Jingwen, so it's him."

"Old Sun, do you know the one surnamed Bai?"

"Some time ago, someone helped bring a message, saying it was Bai Jingwen. I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect him to take your path; besides wanting to see me, did he say anything else?"

"Just want to see you, there are some things he wants to talk to you about privately. Do you want to see him? Why didn't you pay attention to him before, is the relationship not in place, or is the money not in place?"

"Stop asking about things you shouldn't." Sun Daoning scolded.

Chen Guanlou smiled and pointed to the envelope. "You look at the price first; if it's suitable, it's not a loss to see him. If it's not suitable, I'll just reject him."

"Don't do this kind of thing in the future; don't bring any cats or dogs to me. I have a thousand things to do every day, where do I have time to deal with this bunch of local officials." Sun Daoning pinched the thickness of the envelope very casually, a bit surprised that he was so generous.

As a result, he changed his words and said: "It's not impossible to see him. But don't expect me to open up for him. His charges are nailed down, and many people outside are staring at him, so he must be dealt with."

"This money only provides for seeing him; the case is another price." Chen Guanlou pointed out directly.

Sun Daoning pointed at him. "Stop wrapping up lawsuits for me."

"You can't wrong me; when have I ever wrapped up a lawsuit? When have I influenced the Ministry of Justice's judgment? I at most provide a new idea."

Chen Guanlou shouted injustice; he firmly refused to admit this charge. Don't dump the basin of shit on him.

Sun Daoning snorted coldly and finally agreed to go to the Heavenly Prison in three days to inspect the work and see the recent results.

Chen Guanlou expressed a warm welcome and would definitely make preparations to welcome the leader's inspection.

Lord Bai was really a bit surprised to learn that the matter was done.

He asked someone to bring a message outside, but there was no follow-up, and the matter was shelved.

He held the attitude of trying it out and found Chen Guanlou, but didn't expect it to succeed.

He stared at Chen Guanlou with a strange expression. "Prison Warden Chen has good skills."

"Lord Bai, do you still feel distressed about the money? Is this money worth it?"

Lord Bai gave a light laugh. "I only understand now that expensive has the reason for being expensive. As long as things can be done, it should be expensive."

"Since Lord Bai thinks so, we have reached a preliminary tacit understanding. In the future, if you have any needs, as long as you don't have delusions, just tell me, and I will help if I can. Of course, the price is not cheap."

Lord Bai asked curiously: "What if you encounter those poor capital officials? If you ask for help and can't pay the price, you really won't help?"

Chen Guanlou laughed. "Lord Bai forgot, there is a trade outside called a bank. If you don't have money, you can take out a loan, and I can act as a bridge."

"Black! Really black!" Lord Bai sighed; the capital is much blacker than the local area.

Chen Guanlou had to remind him: "Please pay attention to your words. Don't look at whose territory this is."

Lord Bai smiled. "But I also sincerely admire your skills, being able to do what others can't; you deserve to earn this money."

This is about the same.

Three days later, Sun Daoning led a group of Ministry of Justice officials to inspect the work, first went to the Six Shanmen, severely criticized them, and delivered a stern speech. Afterwards, he came to the Heavenly Prison, and his attitude changed from before, looking very gentle.

The conversation ended, and there was a break. Chen Guanlou arranged for people to quietly bring Bai Jingwen into the office.

"Lord Bai, if you have anything to say, hurry up. Minister Sun has limited time and has to rush back to the Ministry of Justice to handle official business."

After saying that, he thoughtfully closed the door.

He didn't want to eavesdrop, but a few words still reached his ears.

"Minister Sun, long time no see."

"Have you seen me?" Sun Daoning was clearly a bit surprised.

"Fifteen years ago..."

Chen Guanlou walked away.

Secrets are not better the more you know; they only add trouble.

He ran to the Jia-grade prison office to drink tea, and after drinking about two cups of tea, the conversation there ended.

Bai Jingwen had a serious expression and followed the prison guard back to the big prison.

Sun Daoning had a murderous look, seeming to want to kill someone.

Chen Guanlou leaned over and asked directly: "Who does my lord want to kill? If it's not convenient to take the official route, you can tell me. However, my price is not cheap."

Sun Daoning snorted coldly and remained silent for a moment before suddenly saying: "Find an opportunity to let the one surnamed Bai die in prison, don't make too much noise. It's best if it looks natural."

Eh?

Chen Guanlou was surprised.

He just made a joke casually, but didn't expect Old Sun to really want to kill someone.

Isn't Bai Jingwen lifting a stone to hit his own foot?

"Old Sun, are you sure? Killing people is not very good!"

Sun Daoning glared immediately. "Stop talking nonsense to me. This matter started because of you, so you have to be responsible for the cleanup. If you don't want the Minister of Justice to change, just handle the person cleanly, don't make me feel upset."

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while; this revealed too much meaning.

"My lord, you have a handle in the hands of the one surnamed Bai, and he threatened you?"

Sun Daoning didn't admit it, but didn't deny it either.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue immediately. "Old Sun, you are too careless in doing things. How could you leave a handle and be mastered by others."

Sun Daoning was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "Solve it as soon as possible. I'll go back to the Ministry of Justice first."

"Fine! Give me the money from before, and I'll help you thoroughly solve the hidden danger."

Sun Daoning laughed at the anger. "Sure enough, obsessed with money! Even now, you don't forget to ask for money. Fine, fine, I'll have someone send the money to you later. Move faster. The court situation is turbulent right now, and I don't want to cause extra trouble." ===== CHAPTER 1006 =====
