Chapter 1539: If a person dies, who is responsible?
This person Wei Huaizhang is very contradictory.
One moment he is righteous and awe-inspiring, and the next he is like a treacherous villain.
He is by no means a pure officialdom fighter. His life ideals are definitely not as pure as Zhao Mingqiao's.
He is a person with calculations.
Busy until dawn, his life was preserved.
Medical Official Mu lay down in the side room to rest. At his age, staying up all night is like losing half his life, and he didn't even have the strength to go home.
Mu Wenxu still had the strength to work for another five, six, seven, or eight hours; he is worthy of being a young man, a sturdy ox and horse.
Chen Guanlou couldn't bear to dispatch him and told him to go home and rest: "If you don't go back, Rongrong will come to find trouble with me."
Mu Wenxu was still a bit embarrassed.
Chen Guanlou was very disdainful; they already had a child, what's there to be embarrassed about.
Once you have a family, you have to put some energy into the family. These prisoners in the Heavenly Prison have very enduring bodies. If you delay the diagnosis and treatment by a day or two, they won't die. It's just suffering a bit more.
Mu Wenxu followed the advice, happily went home to wash up and rest, and would come to work tomorrow.
The neighboring Imperial Prison was making a great fuss; the prison guards were heavy-handed, and before the confession was fully obtained, the person was almost dying. The medical official in the Imperial Prison had limited skills and could only rush to the Heavenly Prison to move reinforcements.
Chen Guanlou refused.
"Medical Official Mu stayed up all night and is exhausted. At his age, how can he withstand such tossing? You dispatch people without a sense of proportion; if you use my Old Mu until he is useless or dead, will you compensate me!"
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please be kind; the prisoner hasn't fully confessed yet. If he dies and we can't get the confession, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will all be implicated."
"None of my business!"
Chen Guanlou didn't like the other party: "I warned you long ago to be at least a little lighter; they are all people, not wooden stakes. You are all vicious and malicious; you deserve to suffer a little loss to learn a lesson."
He absolutely refused to wake up Medical Official Mu.
The Imperial Prison side was anxious and asked if they could send the prisoner to the Heavenly Prison, and treat him directly after Medical Official Mu woke up.
"If I send the prisoner to the Heavenly Prison, and he dies, who is responsible?"
Chen Guanlou absolutely refused to agree.
"If he dies, it's on us."
"Empty words!"
"I'll give you a written guarantee!" Company Commander Yang was also determined.
Chen Guanlou sneered: "Who do you think you are? Do you think the written guarantee you give is useful? Does the Embroidered Uniform Guard recognize it? Does Xiao Jincheng recognize it? Instead of wasting time here, you'd better go outside and hire a doctor."
"How can a doctor outside compare to an Imperial Prison medical official in treating external injuries? But it is publicly recognized in this line of work that Medical Official Mu is the most powerful one. As long as he takes action, if he says there is a rescue, he can definitely save him. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, if I can get a written guarantee from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, would you be willing to agree to me?"
Chen Guanlou was noncommittal and stated directly: "Wait until you get it before talking."
This was half a promise.
Company Commander Yang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and rushed to the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen to ask for instructions.
Mu Qingshan secretly came to Chen Guanlou's side and asked quietly: "My lord, do you really want to agree to them?"
Chen Guanlou sneered: "Company Commander Yang knows what I mean; unless Xiao Jincheng guarantees it, I will absolutely not agree to let Medical Official Mu help the Imperial Prison save people. However, Xiao Jincheng is a face-conscious person and may not be willing to lower his head to beg me. Furthermore, I didn't have a very pleasant time with him before." It seems it hasn't been turned over yet!
He had already turned the page here, but it looked like the one surnamed Xiao hadn't. Truly petty!
"Does he hold a grudge?" Mu Qingshan was curious.
Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes at him: "Which one in the Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't hold a grudge? They are all small-minded and narrow-hearted."
"It seems my lord is also small-minded and narrow-hearted." Mu Qingshan muttered, not knowing if he was courting death.
Chen Guanlou kicked him flying; he was tired of living, daring to arrange him to his face.
Even if he was small-minded, he couldn't say it to his face.
This time, he clearly underestimated the Embroidered Uniform Guard's determination to solve the case and underestimated the importance of the dying prisoner to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Seeing Xiao Jincheng in the Heavenly Prison office, he clicked his tongue in admiration: "Since the prisoner is so important, why were you so heavy-handed when you took action? Now you come to beg me, it might be too late to mend the fold after the sheep is lost."
"As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, we must try hard. Name your conditions, just ask Medical Official Mu to help save him."
Xiao Jincheng's attitude was okay, polite and not putting on airs.
Chen Guanlou sneered: "Minister Xiao is truly rare. Medical Official Mu stayed up all night and hasn't woken up yet. When he wakes up, I will discuss it with him."
"Why not send the prisoner to the Heavenly Prison first, so Medical Official Mu doesn't have to run back and forth when he wakes up."
Chen Guanlou bared his teeth: "You Embroidered Uniform Guard's mess, looking for the Heavenly Prison to clean up. Minister Xiao, don't make me look down on you."
"One thousand taels!" Xiao Jincheng decisively offered a price. He knew the other party's temperament; talking about this and that is not as good as giving silver directly. The other party is a person who recognizes money but not people.
Chen Guanlou's eyebrows indeed softened a little, his eyes were not so disdainful, and a smile appeared on his face: "Alright! Who makes the Heavenly Prison territory big. Ugly words first, if the person dies, don't implicate the Heavenly Prison. If you dare to implicate, I will kill you."
"You don't need to kill me; if I dare to implicate the Heavenly Prison, I will die to apologize first."
Having obtained permission, the Imperial Prison side sent the prisoner to the Heavenly Prison at the first opportunity.
Chen Guanlou took a look; it was actually the Fifth Rank Official of the Astronomical Bureau, in charge of the spring calendar and setting the four seasons. Surnamed Fang, Fang Fuguang.
He and Official Fang were considered drinking buddies, often meeting in brothels, and became familiar over time.
Last winter, when Fang Fuguang was not busy, they even made an appointment to go to the hot spring villa of the Sitong Bank together and lived freely for two days. Among so many drinking buddies, Fang Fuguang was one of the few who had integrity, a bottom line, and true talent and learning, and the two could play together.
"How could it be him?"
"Does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen know him?" Xiao Jincheng asked.
Chen Guanlou's face suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't look at the Embroidered Uniform Guard people in any way: "He is just a small official, why use heavy torture on him?"
Official Fang, who was gentle and kind to others, had now become a lump of rotten meat.
Chen Guanlou was furious and wished he could kill the one surnamed Xiao on the spot.
"He is a Fifth Rank Official, and he participated in the calculation of the date for this Heaven-offering ceremony. That is to say, he is one of the key witnesses in the Heaven-offering case, and using torture on him is the intended meaning."
Chen Guanlou sneered, too lazy to argue with the other party.
He ordered the prison guards to carry Fang Fuguang into the side room and sent someone to invite Medical Official Mu.
Xiao Jincheng saw that he was in a bad mood and seemed to hold a grudge against the Embroidered Uniform Guard, wanting to ease the relationship, and said aimlessly: "I have met with Zhang Daohe."
Chen Guanlou laughed and mocked: "The head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard meeting with the head of an evil cult, if this news spreads, can Minister Xiao still keep his official position?"
"My meeting with Zhang Daohe is all thanks to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. If I have any news here, I will definitely inform you at the first opportunity."
Chen Guanlou turned back and stared at the other party: "You had better hope Fang Fuguang doesn't die!" ===== CHAPTER 1540 =====
