Chapter 1066: Retaliation for Private Grudges

Wanting to protect someone, and this person is involved in a case that the Brocade Uniform Guard is handling, is not an easy thing.

If the Brocade Uniform Guard were so easy to talk to, the criminal officials locked in the Imperial Prison would have been released long ago, and people wouldn't hear the Brocade Uniform Guard and change color.

Now, the unified understanding in officialdom is that no matter what, you must find a way to enter the Heavenly Prison, and never step into the Imperial Prison. Better to be a dog in the Heavenly Prison than a person in the Imperial Prison.

Better to sit in the Heavenly Prison for five or ten years than to sit in the Imperial Prison for half a year or a year.

Entering the Heavenly Prison, ten or eight years, still a person, a normal person with all four limbs.

Entering the Imperial Prison, don't need a year or half a year, ten days or half a month can become a waste. Even if you survive by luck, your life is ruined. It is impossible to return to officialdom.

Officialdom will not accept a disabled person as an official.

Unless you are Marquis Pingjiang.

Wanting to fish people out, first you have to figure out the progress of the case.

Chen Guanlou didn't go to the Six Shanmen, but went to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Daoning to inquire.

Sun Daoning refused him as soon as he opened his mouth. "Don't ask me. The case is now taken over by the Brocade Uniform Guard, and the Six Shanmen personnel at the scene last night were all interrogated, and I supervised it personally. Although they didn't enter the Imperial Prison, they were all ordered to go home. As for Xu Fugui, wait until his soul-lost syndrome recovers, and you personally bring him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."

"Don't need to go to the Brocade Uniform Guard?" Chen Guanlou was pleasantly surprised. Old Sun is sensible.

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, his eyes widened. "I am the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Justice, a mere jailer, can I not interrogate?"

"Can, can, can... don't say a mere jailer, even if the surnamed Xiao commits a crime one day, looking at the court, only you have the qualification to interrogate."

This is about right.

Sun Daoning's expression eased a bit. "In the vast capital, the Brocade Uniform Guard cannot cover the sky with one hand. The case last night has many questions. Investigating the case is too busy, no time to ask about a few small people. If they are really so idle, I will participate in a memorial, participating in their dereliction of duty, retaliation for private grudges!"

"Correct, it is retaliation for private grudges. The Brocade Uniform Guard doesn't do proper work, and they are staring at brother units all day long, definitely harboring evil intentions." Chen Guanlou agreed repeatedly, absolutely not letting the Brocade Uniform Guard have an easy life.

It would be best to let the Censorate participate.

That bunch of censors in the Censorate are best at mouth cannons. Once they enter the field, clear water can be stirred into muddy water, just right for fishing in troubled waters. By then, it won't be a simple assassin assassination, it will definitely involve court factional struggles.

If you can't solve the contradiction, expand the contradiction. By then, someone will solve all the contradictions for you!

This is the ultimate truth!

Obviously, Sun Daoning also had the idea of expanding the problem. But he hadn't made the final decision yet, and at the same time, he lacked an opportunity.

He was too stable.

Stable as an old dog!

Letting him take a risk, he always lacks determination at critical moments.

It is less than needing someone to push him behind his back, and by the way, create some opportunities.

"Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng was killed, is the problem serious?" Chen Guanlou asked in a low voice.

"You have to ask the Hou Fu about this. They are in the same group, they know the pros and cons better."

"The Cheng family is not very good!"

"The Cheng family is not very good, it doesn't mean Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng is not good. That is the Emperor's son-in-law after all. The son-in-law died, you say the father-in-law can not ask?"

"What if the daughter doesn't want to pursue it? What if the daughter and son-in-law are not in harmony?"

"Where did you get the gossip? The Princess and the Imperial Son-in-Law are very good, don't talk nonsense." Sun Daoning warned. "You must not talk nonsense, and don't spread rumors. If unfavorable remarks about the Princess spread outside, everyone will not be able to eat and walk around."

Eh, the more he said this, the more Chen Guanlou felt that Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng's death had inside information. I fear the Brocade Uniform Guard and the Ministry of Justice have already mastered part of the truth, but it cannot be made public.

It seems that this matter still has to be asked to the Grand Steward of the Hou Fu. No one knows the internal situation of the imperial family better than the noble families. After all, these families have grown up with the Great Gan Dynasty, intermarried, and have relatives and old acquaintances, and the news is more informed than one can imagine.

On the day he got off work, Chen Guanlou ran to the Hou Fu to find the Grand Steward to drink.

For his arrival, the Grand Steward was extremely happy and specially asked the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

"Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng died, does this case have any tricks?" Chen Guanlou asked directly.

The Grand Steward laughed. "You are working in the Heavenly Prison, you don't know, how would the old man know the inside story."

"I am asking, Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng and the Princess, assassin assassination, why did he die?"

The Grand Steward sipped his wine and laughed. "The old man knows what you want to ask. You want to ask, is Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng's death buying a murderer, is it Princess's instruction, right."

Chen Guanlou nodded, he just thought so.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, an assassin suddenly appeared, the scene was chaotic, looking without any rules. As a result, Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng died, and this matter instantly became extremely serious, reported to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven personally instructed to investigate strictly!

Big cases and small cases happen every year, month, and day, how many cases can alarm the Son of Heaven?

"Is it Princess's instruction?" Chen Guanlou asked in a low voice.

The Grand Steward laughed. "The old man can only tell you that the Princess and the Imperial Son-in-Law had a sweet period, now it is just returning to the state of ordinary husband and wife, respecting each other like guests. Whether it is serious enough to buy a murderer, assassinate in broad daylight, this depends on your investigation."

"You mean, this matter is not done by the Princess? Is Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng's death an accident?"

"The old man didn't say anything, you can't misinterpret the old man's meaning."

"You say half and leave half, is it interesting?"

The Grand Steward was happy, just liked to see Chen Guanlou eating shriveled. "You are not a person of the Six Shanmen, why do you care about this case."

Chen Guanlou explained: "Just curious. Last night I went to the scene to fish people out. Imperial Son-in-Law Cheng went to the brothel, must have brought servants, and was killed under protection. It makes people have to suspect that the assassin might be targeting him. However, so many people died at the scene, perhaps the assassin is killing indiscriminately."

The Grand Steward shook his head slightly. "Assassin killing always has a purpose, will not kill indiscriminately. Organizing an assassination is not an easy thing. Early stepping on the point, preparing the retreat route, later having to avoid the official investigation... who would be idle to have nothing to do, risking their head to do a case of indiscriminate assassination!"

"However, if the Princess wants to kill the Imperial Son-in-Law, there are opportunities, no need to assassinate in public, making things earth-shattering." Chen Guanlou said so, and overturned the previous speculation.

"So we need the Brocade Uniform Guard to investigate the case!" The Grand Steward smiled. "This case is either simple to the point of being outrageous, or the water is deep to the point that no one dares to explore it deeply. You, just sit and watch the play, watch them bite the dog." ===== CHAPTER 1067 =====
