Chapter 1293: Prince, do you want to top up?

Chen Guanlou saw Pure Yang Zhenren's good son Xiong Shanhe half a month later.

He went to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Daoning to chat, and by the way, sent the account book. Saw a stranger, took a look, looked very much like Pure Yang Zhenren. He immediately understood this person's identity.

The other party didn't recognize him.

Not until hearing others call him Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen did Xiong Shanhe come back to his senses. Just wanted to chase up to say hello, seeing the person enter the Minister's office, could only leave dejectedly.

Privately inquired a few sentences, only then knew that the Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen was good enough to wear a pair of pants with the Minister.

These, Pure Yang Zhenren never told him. Only told him, when encountering things he didn't understand, really couldn't solve, could ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen of the Heavenly Prison. Not a word more.

Not until today did Xiong Shanhe understand the meaning of his cheap father's words.

Sun Daoning saw Chen Guanlou, felt his head big.

"Why are you so idle? Is there nothing to do in the Heavenly Prison?"

"I came to hand over the accounts, and by the way, came to see you. If you don't like me, the accounts of the Heavenly Prison don't have to be handed over."

"These are two different things." Sun Daoning was anxious, snorted. "The accounts for these few months, heard from the people below, the income can only be considered maintenance."

"This can't blame me. The prisoners recently locked in the Heavenly Prison have no money, can't squeeze it out. You catch a few more big fish, next month I guarantee it will double."

"There really is a big fish." Sun Daoning took out the arrest warrant and shook it in front of Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou was curious. "What big fish, who to catch?"

"You will definitely be happy. This time the person to catch is Old Master Shi, Minister Shi."

Ah!

Chen Guanlou was a bit surprised. "Our Ministry of Justice Right Vice Minister is completely finished? Why catch Minister Shi? I heard the Shi family has a death-free gold medal, wouldn't it be for this thing."

"Minister Hu hasn't completely finished. Although he relied on the Shi family, he still has teachers. At worst, leave the capital and be sent out. Looking at the meaning in the palace, maybe you really guessed right, it is for the death-free gold medal."

Chen Guanlou tsk-tsked twice, very disgusted. "The Emperor is too stingy. The death-free gold medal given by the founding Emperor, he doesn't like it, wants to take it back, no one says gossip. But he caught the person, what's going on? Coercion and inducement, shouldn't operate like this. This will chill the hearts of the ministers."

He always looked down on Emperor Jian Shi's style of doing things, not like a royal family member, but like a nouveau riche, acting ostentatiously and pettily. Narrow-minded and can't tolerate people, at least should act a bit. After all, he is the Emperor, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he should do a show on the surface and maintain some decency.

Emperor Jian Shi didn't even act, exposing his thoughts and purposes in front of people, happy is happy, but it will make the ministers below centrifugal and disgusted.

Even the people are discussing, Emperor Jian Shi's reputation is not very good.

Sun Daoning is a loyal minister, won't evaluate the Emperor's actions at will. "We are ministers, just do things according to orders. Why say so much. Do you still want to fight for the Shi family?"

"I don't have, don't frame me. I just look down on the Emperor's style, appearing particularly heartless."

"Sigh, the Emperor does things, always has reasons." Sun Daoning tried hard to make up for Emperor Jian Shi.

Chen Guanlou had no common topics with Old Sun, so he decisively pulled the conversation back to the main point. "When are you making arrests? If you want the Death-Exemption Medallion, why not let the Embroidered Uniform Guard handle it? With the one hundred and eight torture methods of the Imperial Prison, I don't worry that the Shi family won't hand over the medallion."

"The Emperor does things, still has some attention." Sun Daoning tried hard to make up for Emperor Jian Shi. "Tomorrow let the Six Fan Gates go to catch people. You tidy up, arrange a good cell for Minister Shi, don't wrong the person."

"You are kind." Chen Guanlou teased. "What else do you want me to do, say it all at once."

"You persuade Minister Shi more, don't go against the Emperor. When it's time to accept fate, accept fate."

"Without the death-free gold medal, can the Shi family live?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Sun Daoning was speechless for a while, he didn't dare to guarantee either. This kind of thing is hard to say.

"However, if the Emperor still wants to take back the other three death-free gold medals, he will definitely let the Shi family go. Even, he will give the Shi family glory and establish a good reputation for honesty."

"Just afraid the Emperor's killing heart is too heavy, not willing to agree to let the Shi family go."

"Try your best for this matter." Sun Daoning expressed helplessness, as a minister, most of the time is involuntary. Even if he looks down on it, he can only honestly execute orders.

Except for the matter of Shi Youcai, Chen Guanlou had no big contradiction with the Shi family. Moreover, both sides had reconciled, and he took the Shi family's money.

He didn't hope the Shi family would die.

If too many rich people die, where will he knock bamboo poles and eat big families in the future.

As for the new rich and nouveau riche in the court, they don't understand the rules, he is very disgusted. Still old money is more on the road, although occasionally likes to pose.

He pulled Prince Anping, picked a "clean" cell.

Prince Anping, a few days ago, was secretly taken out of the Heavenly Prison by Chen Guanlou, and had a deep exchange with his concubine

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, is there some important figure about to be imprisoned?"

"Yes, there is an important figure. Your Highness, why don't you give me some 'hardship pay'? I've made money off everyone else, but I haven't made a cent off you; that's not right."

Prince Anping was stunned.

Having lived this long, it was the first time he had heard such an explosive request.

"You, you are actually soliciting a bribe directly?"

"Not at all! Is this soliciting a bribe? No, this is a reasonable request. Even if you reported me to the Emperor, this would still be my argument. How can one stay in the Heavenly Prison without spending money?"

"This Prince has already paid." Prince Anping's anger surged.

"One thing is one thing. The money you paid earlier was the 'membership fee.' The money I'm asking for now is 'hardship pay'."

"This Prince gave you ginseng before."

How could a person be so thick-skinned and shameless? Prince Anping was very furious.

Chen Guanlou smiled without smiling. "Your Highness, do you still want to have a secret meeting with your favorite concubine? If you do, it's one thousand taels per time, no bargaining."

"You are robbing me."

"One thousand two hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels!"

"One thousand five hundred taels." Chen Guanlou smiled, fearing the other party wouldn't bargain.

Prince Anping gritted his teeth. "One thousand taels it is, one thousand taels, settled one time at a time."

"Fine! However, if you prepay ten thousand taels at once, I'll give you a ten percent discount."

"Twenty percent off!"

"Fifteen percent off!"

Both sides bargained, finally settling on a fifteen percent discount. Both parties reached the deal happily.

Once the deal was reached and the procedures completed, Prince Anping suddenly realized he had been led by the nose and played in circles by Chen Guanlou.

He could have paid nothing at all, but now, eight thousand five hundred taels were gone in the blink of an eye.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, are you a reincarnated Pixiu, only taking in and never letting out?" Prince Anping accused him angrily. It wasn't that he felt bad about the silver; he felt bad about his own brain.

Why did his brain suddenly stop working?
