Chapter 1149: Dry Him to Death

"Old Sun, you are a typical case of the Emperor not being anxious while the eunuch is anxious. That's all a matter Xiao Changsheng needs to worry about; why are you worrying about it? If the fake person really mixed into the palace and something happened, does it have anything to do with the Ministry of Justice? Shouldn't the people who are anxious be the Imperial Consort and Xiao Changsheng himself?"

The joys and sorrows of humans are not the same.

Sun Daoning didn't get the slightest comfort and instead thought the other party was very short-sighted.

He reminded, "This official asks you, if Xiao Changsheng is still sitting in prison, and another Xiao Changsheng appears in the palace. You tell me, will the Ministry of Justice be held responsible?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, "First, the situation you mentioned probably won't happen. Secondly, even if it really happens, the ones who should be held responsible first are the palace guards, as well as the eunuchs and maids.

The world knows Xiao Changsheng is sitting in prison. They didn't strictly examine it, and didn't even send someone to the Ministry of Justice to ask, and let the person into the palace—they are guilty and unforgivable.

Finally, what mistake could the Ministry of Justice have? Xiao Changsheng committed a crime, the Ministry of Justice caught the person, and according to the law, locked him in the Heavenly Prison. From beginning to end, the procedure was correct, and there was no violation of regulations—what mistake could there be?

As for the fake person mixing into the palace, this is another new case, which doesn't belong to the Ministry of Justice. Why should the Ministry of Justice be held responsible? Old Sun, don't be nervous just because someone says something, and shoulder all the responsibilities. You are a dignified Minister of Justice; are you really that humble?

The Brocade Uniform Guard next door isn't a display, and the Dali Temple shouldn't be soft when it should be dark. The Three Judicial Offices—in peaceful times, everyone is a good brother. When something happens, they are the biggest enemies and must be dealt with to death! You just lack the courage to offend people and the courage to deal with your colleagues in the officialdom to death."

To cooperate with the words "deal with to death," Chen Guanlou increased the momentum with hand gestures, and his expression also became fierce. Sure enough, the momentum of the words "deal with to death" instantly became strong.

Sun Daoning frowned, obviously not agreeing with such barbaric means.

One should be barbaric toward criminal officials, but one should still be polite toward colleagues in the officialdom to maintain mutual decency.

Seeing this, Chen Guanlou said impolitely, "That's why you can only be a little brother for a lifetime. People like Xie Changling are good at being big brothers. What if they lack local experience and seniority? As long as they have a big brother's heart, they will be big brothers sooner or later."

Sun Daoning was so angry his face turned pale.

He said angrily, "Can't you stop your mouth if you don't satirize this official a few times? This official is a Minister of Justice, and you are a Prison Warden; do you understand what is called decency?"

Chen Guanlou was very disdainful, "Is it interesting for you to talk to me about decency at this time? I just ask you, who else around you tells you the truth now? Only me! Only me, as always, speaking the truth to you from the bottom of my heart.

For so many years, everyone else has changed, but I haven't. You come to me because you want to hear the truth so you can make accurate judgments. Look at you, I told the truth, and your face couldn't take it, feeling that your self-esteem was hurt. If I told a lie, you would be happy to hear it, but is it helpful to you, and is this your purpose?"

Perhaps because the smell in the cell was too unpleasant, or perhaps because Chen Guanlou's lethality was too strong, Sun Daoning's head was spinning.

He shook his head, "Stop talking about this and that. You haven't changed as always; are you very smug?"

"Shouldn't I be smug?" Chen Guanlou asked back, and then said, "Old Sun, don't mind my attitude. Think about how to get out of this. I'll teach you a method: insist that you are innocent.

No matter who comes, just one sentence: the Ministry of Justice acts according to the law and has no mistakes. Whoever dares to say the Ministry of Justice handled the case wrong, don't care how smooth their mouth is, just ask them to produce evidence.

As long as the other party can't produce evidence, it belongs to slander. You, as the Minister of Justice, have the right to lock up the slanderer. In short, you must be tough and never retreat half a step.

As long as you are tough enough, they won't dare to frame the Ministry of Justice! In this way, Xiao Changsheng's matter, no matter how big it gets later, you can perfectly escape. Do you remember?"

"Is it that simple?" Sun Daoning was half-believing.

"How is it not simple. I ask you, in the court disputes, various factional struggles, observe carefully—isn't it that as long as one side is tough enough, the other side will be anxious and angry, and finally admit defeat, or start another battle? You are bullied, the Ministry of Justice is bullied—fundamentally, it's because you are too soft, and the Ministry of Justice is also soft."

"Stop spouting nonsense! This official is very tough; when have I ever been weak."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are a true tough guy, never soft." Chen Guanlou replied impatiently. Is it necessary? At this time, he was still calculating the problem of soft and hard, calculating the problem of face—truly hopeless.

He pulled Old Sun and walked outside the big prison, "Hurry back, check what needs to be checked, supplement what needs to be supplemented. In short, don't let people grab any handles. Everything must comply with the law and the procedure must be correct.

Find a few people with smooth mouths and good brains, and preset a few plans. You'd better pray that nothing happens in the palace and the fake person has no next move. If there is, the Ministry of Justice can at least be prepared. As for me, you can rest assured; I guarantee to protect Xiao Changsheng properly.

In addition, if you trust the one surnamed Xie, when the time is right, you still have to reveal the matter here to the other party. If you hide everything, be careful that he gives you small shoes to wear and treats you like a little daughter-in-law."

Sun Daoning nodded while listening, and his face changed when he heard the end, gritting his teeth.

"Speak properly; there is no such thing as a little daughter-in-law in the officialdom. You think I should tell Minister Xie?"

Chen Guanlou said patiently, "I said when the time is right. For example, if the fake person appears again, you must not delay and hurry to tell Minister Xie. If it is always peaceful, you don't need to make extra trouble for yourself."

Sun Daoning was both happy and angry, "Reasonable! Speak properly next time, don't be sarcastic. Otherwise, this official won't give you an approval slip next time.

You know, when others ask this official for an approval slip, they can't even get one. Only you, only you, can get an approval slip from this official. My care for you has already caused countless people in the Ministry of Justice to have complaints. Even the Six Sects are whispering privately."

Chen Guanlou chuckled, expressing his contempt and disdain for some people.

He said, "They are just incompetent and jealous! Minister, don't pay attention to them; a bunch of waste, still wanting to enjoy the same treatment—they are dreaming.

The Minister's approval slip, is it a simple approval slip? No! It must be ability, it must be a trusted aide, it must be trust—all are indispensable. Minister, rest assured, I will always share your worries and solve your difficulties, unlike other people who only want the Minister's money and the Minister's power. Unlike me, I only want to share the Minister's worries, just occasionally wanting some money!"

As he spoke, he himself was moved.

I didn't expect myself to be so great! ===== CHAPTER 1150 =====
