Chapter 1350: Let Him Wipe His Butt Clean

Sun Daoning reluctantly believed Chen Guanlou's explanation.

He had to believe it!

The other party was used to being unreasonable.

"Tell me, who are you running for this time."

"Embezzlement case, Official Hu Hu Huizhi! It is said that he has confessed all the criminal facts and also reported a series of corrupt elements. When the imperial court makes a judgment, shouldn't it consider his merit in reporting?"

"Hmph! You actually stood up for him. Do you know how much trouble he caused this official? The case was not big originally, and the Ministry of Justice could handle it independently. As a result, once he reported it, good guy, this case instantly rose to the level where His Majesty had to ask about it. It is no longer a small case of one or two hundred thousand taels, but a major case involving the whereabouts of a million taels of silver. If this official doesn't sentence him to beheading, how can I let it go!"

Sun Daoning was furious, his tone wishing he could kill Official Hu.

Chen Guanlou smacked his lips and pondered, "Is it really as serious as you say?"

Sun Daoning was exasperated, "It will only be more serious than what I said. You think I am coaxing you? Hmph, you don't understand officialdom. With such a huge amount and so many personnel, involving people from the local area to the imperial court, if investigated strictly, I am afraid hundreds or thousands of heads will fall.

May I ask, who can bear such serious consequences? This official still wants to sit in the position of Minister of Justice for a long time, and this official still wants to die of old age. As a result, you are good, burying such a big mine for this official. If I die one day, it will be because of you."

"How did it become because of me? Old Sun, you must have evidence when you speak." Chen Guanlou refused to admit it firmly. He wouldn't admit it even if he had evidence, let alone without evidence. He wouldn't admit it even if beaten to death.

Sun Daoning sneered, looking like he saw through everything, "Don't think I don't know anything. What kind of character Hu Huizhi is, I know better than you. With his brain, he couldn't think of reporting in court. Even if he could think of reporting, he wouldn't have such a scheme.

Do you dare to say that everything he said when going to court wasn't taught by you? Don't think that because you are sneaking around in the Heavenly Prison, you can deceive the world.

This is not the first time you have taught prisoners how to go to court; I used to turn a blind eye and was too lazy to ask because there was no big mess. This time, it's simply messing around! Stabbing such a big hole, and still wanting to save Hu's life? Keep dreaming! I will definitely kill him!"

The tone was incomparably certain, and the attitude was incomparably firm, without the slightest room for maneuver.

Chen Guanlou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The louder he shouted, the more room there was for maneuvering.

If he didn't shout, he would have to squeeze a cold sweat for Official Hu's dog head.

"What you said is all correct. Unfortunately, I took his money, so I have to do things. You also know that Official Hu is clumsy; if he went to court according to his original character, he would be dead for sure. I only had a heart of compassion and made plans for him."

"What heart of compassion, it's clearly seeing money and opening eyes. Don't gild your own face."

Sun Daoning was sarcastic, without half a good face.

"Then tell me what to do now? The money has already been collected and is all here. It can't be returned."

Chen Guanlou took out a stack of silver notes and placed them by Sun Daoning's hand.

A great person doesn't remember the faults of small people; for the sake of money, he shouldn't push back and forth. In this world, there is no reason to push money out.

Sun Daoning swept a contemptuous look at the silver notes on the table. He calmly slid the silver notes into the drawer, as if nothing had happened.

He drank a sip of tea and calmed his excited mood, "You, you, you are still too impulsive in doing things. Even if you want to save someone, you should have communicated with this official in advance so that this official could know in advance. You are good, teaching him to go to court in private and stabbing such a big hole; tell me what to do?"

"Do what you should do. The key is that the witness cannot have an accident and cannot die! As for the rest, just watch and do it. And this is also good for the Ministry of Justice; there is no need to worry about not having money to spend this year."

Chen Guanlou started from practical benefits and didn't care if officialdom would have a big earthquake because of this case. Whether they die or not, as long as they didn't die on his head, he was too lazy to lift his eyelids.

Sun Daoning pondered this case; he not only had to consider practical benefits but also had to consider the overall situation and His Majesty's thoughts. Although he was not good at guessing the Emperor's mind, it didn't prevent him from pondering repeatedly. It didn't matter if he was wrong; the Ministry of Justice is not the Ministry of Personnel.

This case has become big, and the Ministry of Personnel will definitely suffer. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel who promoted those corrupt officials back then might lose their heads.

In terms of losing heads, he had the same attitude as Chen Guanlou: as long as it didn't die on his head, whether they die or not is none of his business.

It's just...

Officialdom is a circle!

After a long while, he said: "You first save Hu Huizhi and don't let him have an accident. As for the verdict, there is definitely none now. At the earliest, there will be a verdict when this case is settled. This official will guarantee you for now that he won't be sentenced to immediate beheading."

"Exile?" Chen Guanlou asked.

"Whether it is exile depends on the meaning above. In short, just ensure he doesn't die. Tell him to wipe his butt clean quickly, regardless of whether it is embezzled money or earned money. Being an official of the imperial court, it is best to be clean and dedicated to the people."

"I understand!"

Chen Guanlou understood in seconds!

Before the verdict comes down, the Hu family will have a hard time and cannot maintain a luxurious life. As the saying goes, do the whole set of acting; you can't just act, you must immerse yourself in it and experience it personally.

"Let people watch the Grade A prison well and be careful of people jumping over the wall like dogs. Hu Huizhi's reporting is equivalent to offending the public anger and will definitely be retaliated against. You should also remind the Hu family to pay attention to safety. If it really doesn't work, move house overnight. Life is more important than anything else."

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly; he hadn't considered the safety of the Hu family before and ignored it. An embezzlement case of over a million, once it happens, it's not just jumping over the wall like a dog; killing people to silence them is a common occurrence.

In order to save his life, Official Hu was instead pushed to the forefront, unable to be at peace.

It can be considered as getting what he wished for!

Sun Daoning thought for a while and said: "In two days, this official will arrange for people to go to the Heavenly Prison to re-record a confession. Let him confess honestly, detail by detail, and sign and press his fingerprint. You watch it personally."

"Are you worried that he will change his confession halfway, or are you worried that he will die halfway." Chen Guanlou asked.

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, still dissatisfied, "Both. With such a big case, changing confessions halfway is very common. This official encounters a few cases every year. It's not strange to die halfway.

What kind of place the Heavenly Prison is, you know better than this official. Although the Heavenly Prison is safer with you sitting in town, and even jailbreaks are fewer, the Heavenly Prison is still a sieve. If someone sincerely wants to kill a person, they will always find an opportunity."

"You don't think I can save his life."

"It's not that this official doesn't think highly of you, but the situation is like this. An embezzlement case of over a million taels, do you know how many hearts it can move? Do you know how many people are willing to take risks to earn this money for killing? Ninth-Rank warriors also lack money!"

This is the truth! ===== CHAPTER 1351 =====
