Chapter 1604

"If the Ministry of Justice didn't acquiesce, why would they agree to Imperial Concubine Xiao visiting the prison. Since they agreed to the visit, they should have expected that Imperial Concubine Xiao would send poison to Xiao Changsheng."

Chen Guanlou spoke with reason and argued on strong grounds.

Anyway, he had reason!

Even if he didn't have reason, he would quibble and turn the unreasonable into reasonable.

Just one sentence: The Heavenly Prison doesn't carry the pot!

The responsibility lies entirely with the Ministry of Justice.

"These are two different things, don't you quibble. A visit is a visit, poison is poison. The Heavenly Prison has the responsibility to search and ensure the safety of the prisoner. This is dereliction of duty, you bastard!"

Sun Daoning was furious, almost led astray.

Chen Guanlou was righteous, "The Heavenly Prison has fulfilled the responsibility of guarding. Xiao Changsheng wanted to die, and no one could stop him. My lord, you have been in criminal justice for decades, you should know very well that no one can stop someone who sincerely wants to die."

"Don't talk nonsense with me. Just ask you, the person is dead, what to do?"

Chen Guanlou beckoned, seeing Sun Daoning standing still, he simply took action, pulled the person to a corner, and whispered, "Old Sun, I won't hide it from you. The autopsy report says he passed away last night, but in fact, Xiao Changsheng passed away yesterday morning. Don't be anxious, listen to me finish. The night before last, when Xiao Changsheng took the poison, someone from the palace quietly sneaked into the Heavenly Prison to see him, for the purpose of getting a confession."

Sun Daoning instantly gasped, very terrified, his brain blank for a moment, "What did you say?"

Chen Guanlou ignored Old Sun's mood and continued: "The person who came was a eunuch, bumped into Xiao Changsheng taking poison, decisively took action, delayed the time for the poison to take effect, and obtained the confession."

Sun Daoning couldn't stand such a big stimulus for a moment, feeling the world spinning.

Chen Guanlou supported the person in time, injected a breath of energy, stabilized Old Sun's body, at least he had to hold on and cross this hurdle.

"According to reliable news, the Emperor already knows about Xiao Changsheng's passing, but is enduring it without speaking. You know the meaning inside."

Old Sun felt a headache, but he wasn't dizzy, and his body still had strength, enough for him to digest so much news and think about the next way out.

"The most important thing right now is not Xiao Changsheng's cause of death, nor finding who is responsible. It is how to compete with the Emperor. Old Sun, hurry up and find Xie Changling, delay will lead to changes!"

Sun Daoning rubbed his eyebrows, "How do you know so much?"

"My Minister, at this time you still care about how I know, and ask about my news channels. Can you distinguish between primary and secondary. News channels are not important, what's important is that I have no reservations about you, I have always been on your side. You must not let down my intentions."

"Since you got the news early, why didn't you report it in time. Why delay for a day?"

"It takes time to find out news, it's not like as soon as a person dies, I know everything." Chen Guanlou complained fiercely, "Old Sun, don't be too harsh on me! I am single-minded about you, but you turn your face and don't recognize people. Won't your conscience hurt?"

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, directly ignoring Chen Guanlou's nonsense, "Is the news all true? Did the Emperor really send someone to the Heavenly Prison to get a confession."

"If I lie to you, may I be struck by lightning!"

Chen Guanlou raised his hand and swore.

People these days all believe this.

Sun Daoning nodded, indicating approval.

He instructed his subordinates to be fully responsible for the remaining matters. He then took people and hurried to the Government Affairs Hall to communicate with Xie Changling.

Once he left, the Ministry of Justice officials began to argue with Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou quickly took the people away, brought them to the office, and instructed the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and dishes. A table of people drank and exchanged, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The Ministry of Justice didn't dare to drag Imperial Concubine Xiao into this case, and the Ning Prince was even more impossible. And they couldn't fight Chen Guanlou. Very suffocated.

Chen Guanlou gave advice, "This case is simple, if you can't make up your mind, go ask Minister Sun. Minister Sun must have news on his side. Whatever he says to do, we do. If you insist on letting the Heavenly Prison bear part of the responsibility, it's not impossible. At worst, deduct the money and grain owed last year."

"The money and grain owed last year, don't need to be deducted, and won't be allocated to the Heavenly Prison. You are using the Ministry of Justice's things to do favors!"

"Nonsense! If the money and grain are not allocated, does it mean those money and grain don't belong to the Heavenly Prison? On the account book, it is the Heavenly Prison's. Now I am generous, helping you balance the accounts, what are you dissatisfied with. Don't force me, I'll warn you first."

Everyone:...

Can't pee in the same pot as Chen Guanlou!

Forget it, forget it!

Let Minister Sun worry about it.

The Ministry of Justice people left, but the death document was not checked. Xiao Changsheng's body had to continue to be placed in the Heavenly Prison morgue!

It's infuriating!

"Bury, bury! In such hot weather, the body will soon stink! Still not letting people live. Dig a pit, bury it shallowly. Wait until the Ministry of Justice side settles it, call someone who does funeral business to handle it, give more money."

Chen Guanlou was very unhappy.

The thing he hated most was that in the summer, the Ministry of Justice dragged on and didn't check the body, turning the Heavenly Prison into a dung pit!

Bullying people too much!

Tomorrow, after Sun Daoning is busy, he must go to the Ministry of Justice to complain.

The news of Xiao Changsheng's passing also reached the Ning Prince's Mansion.

Imperial Concubine Xiao cried bitterly.

"They forced Changsheng to death, and soon they will force us mother and son to death! Heaven has no eyes! The late Emperor was confused!"

The Ning Prince was very irritable, couldn't listen to the wailing, too ear-piercing.

"Mother Concubine, don't cry anymore! The poison was handed to Uncle by your own hands, now why..."

"You know a fart!" Imperial Concubine Xiao ignored her status and spat fragrance, "Who did this palace do this for? Isn't it for you! Changsheng is dead, remember, he died for us."

The Ning Prince had a look of disapproval.

"He died because his surname is Xiao. Mother Concubine, don't try to count this account on this Prince's head."

"Good, very good!"

Imperial Concubine Xiao instantly stopped her tears, "You just think so! Changsheng's death is not our responsibility, but that pair of mother and son. They bully people too much, and kill them all. They don't even put the late Emperor's edict in their eyes. Eldest, we must do something."

"Do what?"

"Let this palace think about it first. In addition, send someone to watch the Government Affairs Hall, see the movement!"

"Mother Concubine, you can't mess around."

"When did this palace mess around! This palace is looking for a way out for us mother and son! Could it be that you really think that relying on that edict, you can be safe and worry-free? Really naive. The Emperor is currently suppressed by the Government Affairs Hall, which doesn't mean he will be suppressed forever. One day, he will have full wings, and he will do whatever he wants. He has plenty of ways to invalidate the edict! At that time, you will be a fish on the chopping board, let people slaughter!"

Imperial Concubine Xiao had a determined face, with bone-deep hatred in her eyes, and fear!

She didn't want to die!

No one wants to die!

Therefore, we must take advantage of the time when the Government Affairs Hall can suppress Emperor Yuanding, borrow strength to hit strength, and stir up some things.
