Chapter 1269: The Immunity Medal

Sun Daoning really wanted to spit on Chen Guanlou's face; he was shameless.

He had the nerve to say he broke the rules, without looking at what he himself had done.

"Do you think your plan is very thorough? Do you think you can really deceive the world? In the past, whenever a prisoner died in the cell, you would definitely report it. If the Ministry of Justice dragged its feet, you would send people to urge it repeatedly. But this time, Shi Youcai died, the Ministry of Justice didn't approve it, and you took it upon yourself to bury the corpse. Heh, this isn't your usual style of doing things. You can fool others, but you can't fool this official."

Chen Guanlou:...

Felt a bit stifled.

It turned out that the persona of being dedicated, hardworking, and responsible that he had built up had betrayed him. A move behind.

"Anyway, Shi Youcai is already dead, and the document was handed to the Ministry of Justice. It's the Ministry of Justice that lost the document, it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Prison. Whoever comes, I'll tell the truth."

He bit down and wouldn't loosen his mouth.

For things without evidence, guess whatever you want; anyway, he wouldn't admit it. If you have the ability, bring out the evidence.

Sun Daoning laughed in anger, "You're playing the game of resisting to the end with me; you've really grown some ability."

"Old Sun, the key to the problem now is the Shi family. The Shi family treats the Ministry of Justice as their own mountain, riding on your head to defecate; can you endure that? I definitely can't endure it. As for whether Shi Youcai is dead or not, it's not important at all. A death-row prisoner who has lived in hiding for so many years has already had enough. He's dead now, which can be considered heaven opening its eyes. You can't be confused!"

Sun Daoning pointed at Chen Guanlou, "You really can talk nonsense, turning black into white, living into dead. Tell me honestly, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I'm not doing anything; the Heavenly Prison is the bottom line of the law, and I am the guardian of the law's bottom line."

Chen Guanlou was righteous and stern, particularly right and confident, not feeling guilty at all. By the time he finished speaking, he almost believed it himself.

This time it was Sun Daoning's turn to feel stifled.

He knew very well that without strong evidence, the other party wouldn't admit to the substitution plan no matter what he said. He didn't know how far this plan had progressed.

"Although this official is the Minister of Justice, the Ministry of Justice is a government office of the imperial court, not this official's one-man show. The Shi family can be ignored, but I still have to give a certain degree of respect to the Right Vice Minister's request. He requested the Six Shanmen to thoroughly investigate the case of Shi Youcai's death; you'd better cooperate."

"Old Sun, you're really acting as a thug for the Shi family; you really are... tsk tsk..."

The unfinished words were definitely very dirty.

Sun Daoning couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes directly, "You'd better worry about yourself, don't let people catch your handle. Don't think your plan is seamless; this official can see the flaws, and there are a few experts in the Six Shanmen who can definitely see the flaws too."

Chen Guanlou laughed and joked, appearing very relaxed, not taking the Six Shanmen seriously at all.

It wasn't arrogance or ignorance, but rather, he was familiar with the brothers of the Six Shanmen!

The Six Shanmen had their own stance; whether they stood with the Shi family and the Right Vice Minister, or with him, Chen Guanlou, and Minister Sun, he believed everyone had their own considerations.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Prison was his territory.

Wanting to convict him on his territory—who gave them the confidence? Do they really think a Ninth-Rank warrior is just for show?

"Thank you for your concern, I have a count in my heart and know how to deal with it."

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, "You'd better really have a count. It's simply chaotic. Who couldn't you replace, you had to replace Shi Youcai. Knowing that doing so would provoke the Shi family, you didn't have any scruples at all. Is that neighbor of yours that important?"

"Their family is quite good; all these years I've been cared for by their family." Chen Guanlou mentioned it very casually, without needing to be too thorough; his attitude already indicated that he would definitely protect Dawang.

Sun Daoning looked distressed, "If one day this official falls into trouble, if you are willing to spend such effort to protect this official, I'm afraid I would be moved to tears."

"Don't worry, if there really is such a day, I will definitely protect you!"

"Pah pah pah! This official's life is peaceful, and I will definitely be able to retire safely."

Sun Daoning was very unhappy.

Chen Guanlou smiled lightly, "Old Sun, you can put a hundred hearts at ease. Others are unreliable, but I am definitely reliable. I've guaranteed your future."

"Don't be a crow's mouth!" Sun Daoning's mood was a bit low, "This official is doing very well!"

"That's just in case! However, if you have an accident, I guess you'll have to be locked up in the Dali Temple prison, or locked up in the Imperial Prison; anyway, it's impossible to be locked up in the Heavenly Prison."

The Sun family's foundation wasn't deep; they were just local powerful clans.

As for the world's powerful clans and families, the Sun family couldn't even be ranked, and they had no say. And the most capable person in the Sun family was Sun Daoning. Once he had an accident, the Sun family would be without a leader, and at that time, don't count on any big shots to protect people. It would be better to count on Chen Guanlou being reliable.

Sun Daoning also clearly knew his situation.

But he had always been steady in his work and never radical; he didn't think he would ever have a day in prison.

Besides, there was still a Xie Changling.

If he really had an accident, Xie Changling couldn't be heartless and not help at all.

"You're still counting on that Xie guy. Haha..." Chen Guanlou smiled half-heartedly, "I've been in contact with him in the Heavenly Prison for more than a year; I know him better than you do. This person... is an exquisite egoist. Although it's not very obvious usually, after all, he keeps saying it's for the country and the people, and what he's doing now is indeed from the perspective of the overall situation. But when he reaches the crossroads of choice, he will definitely 'take the overall situation into account'—his own overall situation, not the overall situation of protecting people with affection and righteousness."

"Stop talking nonsense; how can you discuss the Xie Minister so recklessly."

"I can even discuss the Emperor recklessly, why can't I discuss Xie Changling." Chen Guanlou had an attitude of fearing nothing.

Sun Daoning was worried!

"You must change this habit. Alright, alright, I know you won't listen. Hurry back and clean up the mess properly. The Six Shanmen will definitely investigate the Heavenly Prison, and Shi Youcai's death must be given an explanation. Don't say things like the Ministry of Justice acting as a dog for the Shi family; this official doesn't like to hear it. Some things must be done according to procedure; you've been in the Heavenly Prison for so many years, I don't need to teach you this principle. Also, next time you see the Shi family members, remember to give them a good look."

Chen Guanlou could agree to the previous requests; he understood the procedure. He would definitely cooperate.

The last request was absolutely impossible!

He decisively refused:

"That's impossible. There won't be any good looks. If the Shi family falls into my hands next time, it won't be a matter of looks; they must go to jail. Attacking a government office of the imperial court—this is rebellion."

Hearing this, Sun Daoning's mouth twitched, his face unable to bear watching.

"You really know how to frame people with charges. You even brought out rebellion. Do you know the origin of the Shi family? When the Taizu was conquering the world, the Shi family contributed people, effort, and money; they were meritorious officials. It is said that Taizu even bestowed an immunity medal to the Shi family."

"Then destroy the Shi family's immunity medal!" ===== CHAPTER 1270 =====
