Chapter 1366: Thirty heads, not one can be missing

"Do you need to screen them? Many of them are loyal and diligent." Chen Guanlou said with a very casual attitude. It seems he doesn't care about the life or death of the prison guards.

Sun Daoning, however, was still murderous, "No need to screen. Prison guards are all cheap lives; they die where they should."

Chen Guanlou immediately sneered, not hiding the mockery in his eyes at all.

"Old Sun, your method is really simple and crude. Instead of solving the problem from the root, you adopt violent means to suppress it."

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, slightly dissatisfied, "If not so, it is not enough to deter that group of greedy prison guards. I tell you clearly, it is impossible to sentence Hu Huizhi in advance. Only on the day when this case is settled will it be the time for sentencing. If you want to protect him from dying, don't be soft-hearted; when it's time to kill, you must kill ruthlessly. Killing one or two doesn't work, then kill ten or twenty. This is an order, not a discussion with you."

Putting on official airs!

It is very clear that the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison have not been cleaned up for too long, and Sun Daoning has made up his mind to take this opportunity to clean them up once.

If he doesn't kill thirty or fifty people, this matter won't end.

Chen Guanlou frowned tightly, "You are forcing me to be the villain!"

Sun Daoning immediately scolded angrily, "Having become a Prison Warden of the Heavenly Prison, yet still dreaming of being a good person; are you naive, or am I naive? You repeatedly said that the Heavenly Prison is a big sieve, and I admit it. Since the fact that it is a sieve cannot be changed, then start a killing spree, kill them batch by batch, and it will always work for a period of time. 'Not in charge of soldiers, not in charge of wealth'; do I still need to teach you such a simple truth?"

"Killing always requires a legitimate charge."

"Negligence in duty, causing important prisoners to be poisoned one after another, does that count as a charge?" Sun Daoning said sharply, "I leave this matter to you. I don't care who you kill, I only count the heads. If you don't hand over thirty heads, don't work in the Heavenly Prison anymore, change to a lighter office and lie down."

Chen Guanlou chuckled coldly; sure enough, officials are used to being heartless.

Sun Daoning pretended not to hear his cold laugh, looking indifferent.

Chen Guanlou stood up, "Fine, I will hand over thirty heads to you."

"Don't think about killing the innocent to claim credit. Every prison guard is registered, and I will find someone to verify it."

"You underestimate me too much. A mere thirty heads, I don't need to kill the innocent to claim credit. Just wait. However, if I kill people, you have to compensate."

"What compensation do you want!" Sun Daoning frowned slightly; sending Chen to do things, why are there so many conditions.

"Make up the money and grain that were not issued in full last year, plus the money and grain for the first quarter of this year."

Chen Guanlou made an offer, and Sun Daoning countered.

"There is none for the first quarter of this year; the Ministry of Revenue has not allocated any money and grain at all. I am a clever woman who cannot cook without rice. However, the arrears of money and grain from last year can be made up."

"Write the statement, I will go to the warehouse to collect the money and the Taiping Granary to collect the grain now."

Chen Guanlou couldn't spoil the other party, demanding immediate payment to avoid long nights and many dreams.

Sun Daoning laughed in anger, giving the statement on the spot, "Get out! After taking the money, do the job well. If the job is messed up, I will hold you accountable."

"You can rest assured when I do things."

Chen Guanlou returned to the Heavenly Prison and handed the statement to Qian Fugui, telling him to hurry up and exchange it. Pull the silver back, pull the grain back. So many prison guards sitting on the cold bench are ready-made labor, send them all out to do hard labor.

Afterwards, he ordered someone to call Li Shuan over.

Li Shuan came very actively, and his attitude was also very respectful.

Even if one were to pick bones out of an egg, it would be very difficult to pick out his faults.

He is the biggest problem.

Too standard!

Life and work are like being measured with calipers, standard like a template. Prison guards don't have this kind of thing!

"Sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Li Shuan sat on half of his buttocks, reflecting the respect of a subordinate in every aspect.

"Don't be restrained in front of me. I called you over today because there is something to discuss with you."

"I dare not discuss! If you have something, Lord, just order it."

Chen Guanlou stared at the other party, smiling enigmatically, thinking for a while and deciding to get straight to the point.

"Li Shuan, you have served in the Heavenly Prison for several years, done many things, and have not stained your hands with little blood. Is your master above satisfied?"

Li Shuan looked shocked, stunned, completely confused, and decisively knelt down, buried his head, and made a gesture of pleading guilty and submitting. "I don't understand what the lord means. Please clarify, Lord."

Chen Guanlou chuckled coldly, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, "Having said this much, you are still playing dumb with me, is it interesting? Do you think I can't deal with you without evidence? But you forgot, this is the Heavenly Prison, the edge of the officialdom. You don't need evidence, you only need suspicion to convict you."

Li Shuan was aggrieved, his face painful, "Lord, I am truly unable to defend myself! My family has been in the Heavenly Prison for three generations, and I will be a ghost of the Heavenly Prison when I die. I dare not say I am loyal to the imperial court, but I am definitely loyal to the Heavenly Prison. I have never done anything to be sorry for the Heavenly Prison. If there is a single false word, I will be struck by lightning."

"Don't swear in front of me; I don't believe this set at all. You came to the Heavenly Prison to serve; didn't your master above tell you what kind of person I am? Having been together for so many years, don't you understand my temperament yet?"

Chen Guanlou sneered softly, "Stop talking nonsense to me. I don't have time to discuss with you whether you are innocent or which master you are working for; I don't care either. I tell you clearly, Master Hu was poisoned for the second time, and the people above are very angry, ordering the execution of at least thirty prison guards. If one head is missing, I will have to roll. Who exactly to kill, I am very hesitant. Looking to the left, it seems loyal, looking to the right, it seems diligent. How do you want me to choose? You tell me."

Li Shuan looked shocked, his face pale, "I, I don't know!" He knelt on the ground, sobbing.

Chen Guanlou laughed loudly, his laughter sounding contemptuous, as if he were playing with human hearts.

"To tell you the truth, the first person I want to kill is you."

"Lord, spare my life! I am innocent!"

"I said, don't discuss the issue of innocence with me. Do you want to die?"

Li Shuan shook his head repeatedly; he didn't want to die!

"Lord, I don't want to die!" he shouted loudly.

Chen Guanlou nodded, "You are a talent, it would be a pity if you died. If you can complete the task I ordered, you can be exempted from death and continue to serve in the Heavenly Prison, doing your little tricks in private. If you want to leave the Heavenly Prison, I won't stop you either."

Li Shuan looked eagerly, subconsciously licking his dry lips, "What does the lord want me to do."

Chen Guanlou said sharply, "Hand over your people, thirty heads, not one can be missing, and I will protect you from death. You know my credit in your heart. What I say, I will definitely fulfill. However, don't think about replacing your people with innocent people. If I find out, even if you are at the ends of the earth, I will kill you! I mean what I say! You can try!" ===== CHAPTER 1367 =====
