Chapter 1147: Little Ma Zai

This matter couldn't be hidden, and it couldn't be hidden.

Xiao Changsheng wasn't a dead person; having suffered such a big crime, he definitely had to give an explanation.

Chen Guanlou immediately decided to report it to the Ministry of Justice, and at the same time arranged for Medical Official Mu to take full-time care of Xiao Changsheng.

He reported the situation, but before he could personally go to the Ministry of Justice to explain, Sun Daoning arrived at the Heavenly Prison first.

"What did you write in the document? How could such an absurd thing happen."

Sun Daoning walked into the office and started to attack as soon as he saw Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou ignored his attitude and asked back, "The Six Sects have investigated for so many days; what is the result? Was it that group of prison guards who committed a crime and fabricated it on purpose, trying to muddle through?"

"This official is asking about Xiao Changsheng's matter; why are you talking about prison guards." Sun Daoning snorted coldly, very dissatisfied.

Chen Guanlou wouldn't give an inch, "This is one and the same thing! Old Sun, first tell me, does the Six Sects have any results? Don't try to fool me; I will personally ask about this matter."

Sun Daoning gritted his teeth, "You take me down to the cell to visit Xiao Changsheng first; he absolutely cannot have any accidents."

"He has already had an accident. What's the use of threatening me!" Chen Guanlou wouldn't tolerate him.

Sun Daoning was so angry, pointing his finger at his nose, wishing he could turn into a marketplace shrew and curse him.

"Fine, fine, fine, you're amazing. This official will tell you the truth: so far, the Six Sects haven't found anything useful. That group of prison guards, gambling is all internal digestion—you owe me, I owe you. But they didn't owe a huge debt outside. Because of the rules you set, that group of prison guards rarely goes to gambling dens to gamble now, so naturally, there are fewer loans."

"That is to say, the prison guards are innocent. Now you can believe their confession, right? This whole thing was caused by the fake Xiao Changsheng."

"Regardless of who caused the matter, the urgent thing now is Xiao Changsheng's situation. If he complains to the Emperor, both of us will be in trouble."

Xiao Changsheng was a favored official in front of the Emperor and had an Imperial Consort sister. Sun Daoning had a big head; he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this matter reached the Emperor's ears or the Imperial Consort's ears. Would the Emperor peel his skin? He didn't know. But Imperial Consort Xiao would definitely peel his skin.

At this moment, without anyone else peeling his skin, he already felt his scalp tingling.

He never imagined that the Heavenly Prison could cause such a big disaster.

"I'm almost killed by you." He complained.

Chen Guanlou countered decisively, "It's clearly your incompetence. The hot potato that other government offices avoided like the plague, you just had to accept it. When I told you at the beginning, locking two brothers-in-law in the Heavenly Prison would cause trouble sooner or later. You didn't believe it. If you had spoken louder in the court and had more say, you wouldn't have been bullied by other government offices like a little daughter-in-law."

Sun Daoning, over these years, hadn't dared to say it was smooth sailing, but at least generally it was quite refreshing. No matter where he went, at least on the surface, everyone spoke politely. As for the people under his command, they didn't need to be mentioned; they were racking their brains to flatter him and share his worries.

Only Chen Guanlou.

His mouth was like it had been smeared with three pounds of arsenic.

Whenever he was immersed in some wonderful fantasy, the other party would ruthlessly "curse" and expose himself.

It was simply preposterous.

"Speak properly; can you not bring emotions and not curse your superiors." Sun Daoning was angry, a dignified Minister of Justice, being insulted by a tiny Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng—it was simply bullying people too much. Couldn't he give him some face, couldn't he not expose the truth.

What little daughter-in-law, it sounded so ugly.

"I'm stating facts and reasoning, yet you say it's an insult. Old Sun, you've grabbed the wrong point." Chen Guanlou wouldn't tolerate him at all, firing on all cylinders, arguing with the other party one by one; he had to clarify the responsibilities, he wouldn't take the blame.

"The cause of this matter is that you weren't firm enough to refuse at the beginning. If you had refused, Xiao Changsheng wouldn't have had to come to the Heavenly Prison, and the Heavenly Prison would be peaceful. You invited the disaster, and now you blame me for not fulfilling my duties. Tsk!"

"I'll tell you this: if any other person were the Jiang Jiang Yucheng, Xiao Changsheng would already be a corpse. It's only me, who knows a few moves, that kept Xiao Changsheng's life. Is that a life? That's the secret to promotion and wealth, the secret to avoiding the extermination of nine clans. You think about it yourself: if Xiao Changsheng died in the Heavenly Prison, what would the consequences be?"

Sun Daoning silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If Xiao Changsheng died, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Perhaps, really, he would receive the extermination of nine clans package.

He was also scared afterward!

"How would this official know that someone would be so insane as to target Xiao Changsheng. The one surnamed Xiao is the Emperor's favored official and the Imperial Consort's brother—that's correct. However, fundamentally, he is marginalized in the officialdom. Apart from gathering wealth, he can't intervene in anything else. He's much worse than Jiang Tu back then. You tell me, in this situation, how could this official predict that someone would use his identity to stir up trouble in the Heavenly Prison."

"Why couldn't you predict it? At the beginning, didn't I remind you that locking two brothers-in-law in the Heavenly Prison at the same time, no matter how you whitewash it, is an extremely risky arrangement. I said this, right? Did you listen?"

Chen Guanlou patted the table and challenged Sun Daoning.

If he didn't clarify the responsibilities and set his attitude, the future would be endless black pots.

Before forcing Old Sun to compromise, he wouldn't let go and would definitely fight to the end.

Some people, why they are wronged everywhere in the workplace, is because their ears are too soft, they like to compromise too much, and they like to think for others too much. When things happen, they don't consider how to protect their own interests first; the leader scolds them a few times, and their brain becomes paste, being led by the nose.

Sun Daoning also patted the table, "Do you have any decorum, do you understand any rules? This official is the Minister of Justice, personally coming to the Heavenly Prison to ask about this matter; look at your attitude."

"What's wrong with my attitude? Old Sun, don't try to change the subject. At the beginning, before Xiao Changsheng came to the Heavenly Prison, I specially ran to the Ministry of Justice to remind you face-to-face that this step was rotten and would cause trouble sooner or later. I also reminded you that you must be tough and find a way to transfer Xiao Changsheng. And you, what did you do? Now that trouble has happened, you know you're afraid, so you talk nonsense with me. See if I'll cooperate with you."

Sun Daoning was so angry his head was smoking, "Then what do you want?"

"Xiao Changsheng's matter definitely can't be hidden. Even if we don't say it, he himself will definitely shout it out. Now there are two plans: since you are Xie Changling's lackey, let the one surnamed Xie come forward to protect you, protect the Ministry of Justice, and protect the Heavenly Prison."

"What lackey! Speak properly, don't curse people. Also, this official is also a member of the Administration Hall; is there a problem with me following Minister Xie's instructions?"

Sun Daoning was furious.

Chen Guanlou was good everywhere, but he had an extra mouth and refused to speak properly no matter what. Every time he opened his mouth, it was a rhythm to kill everyone. ===== CHAPTER 1148 =====
