Chapter 1268: The Window Paper Is About to Be Pierced

"Who can't run away?"

Chen Guanlou, holding a small teapot, walked out of the office.

He had heard the argument between the two sides early on. He only appeared after they had fallen out.

"Isn't this Lord Liu? Who provoked you to anger, making your expression so ferocious and twisted." Chen Guanlou smiled half-heartedly, clearly teasing him.

Lord Liu was furious and pointed at Chen Guanlou, "Chen Guanlou, the Heavenly Prison has been ruined by you. Ever since you became the Jiang Jiang Yucheng of the Heavenly Prison, the prison guards have become increasingly lawless.

A mere petty clerk actually dares to clamor at this official; it's simply absurd. There's no sense of hierarchy! You actually still dare to mock this official; this official will definitely go to the Minister to report you!"

Chen Guanlou picked at his ears, disgusted that the other party was too noisy.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is Lord Liu angry from embarrassment? Mu was right; you didn't handle things well and lost the death list. Now you're anxious, running to the Heavenly Prison to go crazy, wanting to find a scapegoat. A good plan!

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Prison is no longer the Heavenly Prison of the past and cannot be manipulated by you. So, please go back! Think carefully about how to clean up the mess. As for violating regulations, heh, the Ministry of Justice has regulations: in matters concerning epidemics, act according to the urgency. The Heavenly Prison does everything according to the rules; if you want to report, go ahead. If you don't report, I'll go report you!"

Turning the world upside down!

Lord Liu was so angry his face twisted.

He never expected that the other party would also report him.

On what grounds?

What qualifications did he have to report him.

"Good for you, Chen Guanlou. Just wait, you all just wait! This matter must be clarified."

Lord Liu left in a rage.

Chen Guanlou drank tea and muttered, "A paper tiger!"

Then he praised Mu Qingshan, "Well done! You have to show this kind of momentum!"

Mu Qingshan was praised and was very smug.

"Official, how about treating me to flower wine tonight?"

"Get lost!"

Chen Guanlou turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, only willing to give his subordinates verbal praise, not willing to give a single cent of actual benefits. Still wanting him to treat them to flower wine—dream on!

Mu Yiguan Mu was a bit worried, after all, he had participated in the whole plan of faking the substitution.

He whispered to Chen Guanlou, "Official, is it really okay? The Shi family definitely won't let it go. The person Shi Youcai assassinated five years ago was the Shi family's most favored Third Master, and also the person in the Shi family with the best literary talent and highest scholarship."

"Don't worry, Old Mu, with me here, the sky won't fall. You said it yourself, using your medicinal water, even if Shi Youcai's wife stood in front of him, she wouldn't recognize him. Let alone the Shi family. The Shi family abused Shi Youcai, and it was always in a dim torture room. It would be strange if they could see clearly!"

This was also one of the reasons he dared to tell lies with his eyes open.

He suspected that the Shi family hadn't seriously looked at Shi Youcai's appearance at all, only caring about enjoying the other party's painful wails, anger, and distortion.

In the dim light, everything became magical!

The older people get, the more timid they become; Mu Yiguan Mu was just like that.

As long as the matter wasn't settled, he was terrified and uneasy every day.

Old people become refined!

Although he was uneasy in his heart, he didn't show it at all on the surface.

The Shi family didn't believe Shi Youcai was dead, and the Ministry of Justice didn't believe it either, nor did they admit that the Heavenly Prison had sent a death document for Shi Youcai.

They demanded that the Heavenly Prison hand over the corpse, or they would send the Six Shanmen to thoroughly investigate the case.

Thoroughly investigate?

Investigate my ass!

Chen Guanlou ran directly to the Ministry of Justice to file a complaint.

"What kind of thing is the Shi family, actually running to the Ministry of Justice to show off their power and demanding a thorough investigation. They want to investigate just because they say so; do they treat the Ministry of Justice as their own mountain? Old Sun, the Shi family's behavior has seriously infringed on the interests of the Ministry of Justice, infringed on your interests as the Minister of Justice; if you don't suppress them hard, who will look up to you in the future. If you follow them, you're a bastard."

"Fart! Nonsense!"

Sun Daoning had a serious face and was furious.

He pointed his finger at Chen Guanlou, "You're not satisfied unless you cause trouble for me. Tell me the truth, what's going on with that Shi Youcai, is the person dead or not."

"Dead, dead thoroughly." Chen Guanlou said firmly, not feeling guilty at all. If you want others to believe you, first you have to believe yourself!

He had long ago given himself psychological suggestions and brainwashed himself; Shi Youcai was indeed dead.

Now there was only Qian Dawang in the cell, not Shi Youcai.

"Nonsense! He definitely isn't dead! What little tricks are you hiding from this official again? Based on my understanding of you, if someone died, you would definitely report it. If the Ministry of Justice dragged its feet and didn't approve it, you wouldn't stay silent; you would definitely send people to urge it. The Ministry of Justice doesn't have this death document, and I don't see you urging it, which shows that Shi Youcai isn't dead at all."

As expected of the Minister of Justice, truly having eyes like torches.

Chen Guanlou chuckled twice, still saying the same thing, "He really died, I'm not lying to you."

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, smiling half-heartedly, "Who are you trying to save this time? It wouldn't be saving Shi Youcai, would it? If you wanted to save him, you would have saved him five years ago; why wait until now. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do."

"What have I done? I haven't done anything. I am a very good citizen, a model Jiang Jiang Yucheng. Old Sun, you can't rely on being the Minister of Justice to talk nonsense. Anyway, I'm a soldier under your command; you can't wrong me."

Chen Guanlou cried out, refusing to admit it to the death.

Sun Daoning sneered, not believing a single word.

If he believed it, his decades of prison career would have been in vain. He would have been a Minister of Justice for nothing!

He drank warm tea, frowning and pondering for a while, then looking at the other party, his eyes like torches, like a searchlight.

Chen Guanlou felt a bit guilty; he wondered if the other party had guessed something.

Sun Daoning put down his teacup, seemingly having an answer.

"I heard your neighbor is a helper in the government office, and he just happened to be involved in a recent case, is that right?"

"Old Sun, you are indeed the Minister of Justice; nothing can be hidden from you." Chen Guanlou admitted it generously.

Sun Daoning wasn't corrupted by sugar-coated bullets and continued along his line of thought: "You are a person who values relationships; seeing your neighbor about to be beheaded on the execution ground, you must be unable to bear it in your heart. But this case, no matter from which aspect, is not easy for you to intervene in. There's no room for little tricks. You're anxious!"

"I'm not anxious!" Chen Guanlou firmly denied it.

"No, you're anxious! I can tell you clearly that those helpers are definitely going to die; there's no room for negotiation. Everyone is registered; don't even think about substitution."

Chen Guanlou said "oh" and didn't make a sound.

"But you definitely aren't reconciled; you still want substitution. Let me think, what does this case have to do with the suddenly dead Shi Youcai?"

Chen Guanlou chuckled twice, his expression very disdainful.

It seemed as if he were saying, "Make it up, keep making it up. If I admit defeat, my surname isn't Chen!"

"Does Shi Youcai look similar to your neighbor? I heard from people below that Shi Youcai's face wasn't destroyed. Heh... you really are daring!"

"Without evidence, even if you are the Minister of Justice, you can't talk nonsense! Old Sun, you've broken the rules!"

As a person of the law, how can you handle cases based on speculation. ===== CHAPTER 1269 =====
