Chapter 1348: IQ Finally Occupied the High Ground

Standard rule silver, Chen Guanlou understood.

It is of the same nature as the Heavenly Prison giving everyone a bonus. Where does the bonus come from? It is squeezed out of the prisoners. You think the silver is dirty and refuse to take it?

That won't do!

Not taking it means not recognizing our rules, not recognizing this collective, not recognizing your colleagues.

Either get out!

Or take the money and shut up!

Chen Guanlou was very patient for the sake of money.

"Old Hu, let me analyze it for you. First, you claim injustice, saying you didn't embezzle river engineering silver, you consider yourself clean, and it was your colleagues who embezzled. Second, you know who embezzled the river engineering silver, but you have no evidence. Third, you want to overturn the case, but you don't have any usable clues or witnesses on hand.

Everything is based on your mouth. Old Hu, may I ask how you are going to overturn the case? Even if you are given a chance to argue in front of the Emperor, you can't just rely on your mouth to make the Emperor believe you. Am I right?"

Although Official Hu was unwilling, he nodded aggrievedly, acknowledging his statement.

He regretted it!

He actually had a chance to catch the handle and evidence, but he missed it.

Regretting it too late!

Chen Guanlou continued, "You pay money and want me to help you get acquitted. To tell you the truth, I love money and want to earn your money, but helping you get acquitted and overturn the case, I am afraid I am powerless."

"Then am I dead for sure?" Official Hu looked desperate, seemingly having lost his spirit.

Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, "You have heard of my reputation; if you don't want to die, rather than daydreaming about overturning the case, there is a little room for maneuvering."

Official Hu instantly came back to life, "How to operate? How can I not die?"

Chen Guanlou signaled him to lean in, "If you want to save your life, first, admit that you embezzled. Don't be anxious, listen to me finish. Second, point out that your colleagues and superiors embezzled and drag them all into the water. Let the Ministry of Justice and the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate for you! As long as your accusation is true, you will definitely be able to find clues. At that time, as the whistleblower, with a little operation, the death penalty can be changed to exile, exile can be changed to imprisonment, and it might not even implicate your family."

"Can this really work? Will I lose my life as soon as I report it?"

He still had some brains, not completely a fool.

"There is indeed that possibility. At this time, I come in handy to save your life." Chen Guanlou smiled softly, "As long as you are in the Heavenly Prison, if I don't speak, no one can take your life. Even if you are thrown into the neighboring Imperial Prison, I have a way to save your life."

Company Commander Yang owed him so many favors; saving one person was just a matter of a word. What if Company Commander Yang didn't agree?

If Company Commander Yang didn't want to die an unclear death, he wouldn't disagree, and he wouldn't have the guts to disagree.

At this moment, Official Hu's IQ finally occupied the high ground.

He whispered: "How much money?" To save his life!

Chen Guanlou held up a finger.

Official Hu was a bit incredulous, "One thousand taels?" Is it this cheap?

"What kind of joke are you making?" Chen Guanlou laughed in anger and said through gritted teeth: "Ten thousand taels, no bargaining. I don't take orders for one thousand taels of silver at all."

If the prison guards below had the ability to take orders, he wouldn't stop them. Just split the money according to the rules!

Unfortunately, counting from top to bottom in the Heavenly Prison, he was the only one who could take similar orders. Other prison guards could only do small things. They didn't have the ability to protect the dog life of a corrupt official and help change the verdict.

"Oh oh oh..." Official Hu came back to his senses; he just said, one thousand taels, how could it be this cheap.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, can this price be a little lower? It's not easy for my family to earn some money."

Chen Guanlou sneered coldly and immediately scolded: "Do you think it's easy for me to earn money? Do you know how much risk I have to take to save your life? How much favor and silver I have to pay to help you change the verdict? Do you think ten thousand taels is for me to spend alone? Joke. If I don't clear the way from top to bottom, your death penalty will still be a death penalty. You still want to change the verdict? Keep dreaming."

Official Hu was sprayed with saliva and wiped it clean silently.

He thought, a mere Jiang Jiang Yucheng of the Heavenly Prison, why is his temper so big? He turns his face if he doesn't agree, leaving no face at all.

He managed to force a smile, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, calm your anger. This old man has always been an official in the local area and is not very clear about the market in the capital; you are a great person who doesn't remember the faults of small people. Ten thousand taels, then it's settled. You must save my life and can't let people kill me."

"The premise of saving your life is that the money is in place, and second, when you go to court, you must do as I say—admit guilt and report, both are indispensable. Do you remember?"

Official Hu nodded repeatedly; he remembered.

With his own dog life at stake, he remembered every word firmly.

This group of officials has uneven abilities, hard to judge. However, they all have one thing in common: their memory is particularly good!

It is all the ability trained by reading and taking the imperial examination back then.

With the note, Chen Guanlou arranged for Qian Fugui to withdraw silver from the Hu family.

With Official Hu in trouble, his brother-in-law, brother, and biological son were running around in the capital to help him. Learning that the Heavenly Prison came to ask for money, the three were suspicious and requested to visit the prison. A note alone was not enough; in case this thing was forged, ten thousand taels was not a small amount.

"Agree to them! Let Old Hu talk to them personally."

Chen Guanlou waved his hand and immediately opened the door of convenience.

The three entered the Grade A prison one after another and were immediately shocked by the gloomy and dark atmosphere of the prison. Even this was one of the "civilized" prisons in the world. No torture to extract confessions, no secret forcing of people to death.

How could they not believe it.

If Chen Guanlou knew their thoughts, he would have thrown the three into the neighboring Imperial Prison to visit and feel what a bloody and dark style is.

Compared to bloodiness, mere gloom doesn't even count as a younger brother. It's just a grandson!

"Brother-in-law, do we really have to admit guilt? Can this work?"

"Big brother, what if the other party doesn't keep their word? What can we do to him?"

"Father, should we consider this matter again."

Facing his own family, Official Hu changed his previous miserable appearance and turned into a man of his word, "No need to consider it again. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's reputation, you go out and ask around, and you will know. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is famous for taking money and doing things, fair and honest.

If he says he will save my life, he will definitely do it. Don't doubt his ability; just cooperate fully. Don't look for other connections; it's purely a waste of money.

I'll tell you this: the connections you find, the connections you can contact, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can contact them all. The connections they can't contact, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can also contact.

You might know too little about Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen; behind him is the Marquis Prefecture, the Marquis Prefecture of Marquis Pingjiang. His 'Chen' is the 'Chen' of Marquis Pingjiang! Do you understand?"

Understood!

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has heaven-reaching connections.

"Since he is so powerful, why is he still holed up in the Heavenly Prison, being a small Jiang Jiang Yucheng."

"I know! He is a Ninth-Rank warrior, naturally having the demeanor of an expert. As the saying goes, the great hermit hides in the court!" ===== CHAPTER 1349 =====
