Chapter 1685

Chen Guanlou held a banquet to treat guests, setting up a full hundred tables.

The dishes were rich, the wine was sufficient, and the hosts and guests were happy!

Sun Daoning brought a gift and sat for a cup of tea before leaving, not staying for the banquet.

He teased Chen Guanlou, "You dislike that I ruin the atmosphere, so I won't be annoying."

"Old Sun, you still hold a grudge! Come, come, let's have a drink first."

Sun Daoning laughed happily, "You brat, your face changes faster than turning a book, shameless. Now you are a Company Commander, at least be decent."

"A big mouth eats in all directions, only a thick face can accomplish things. Old Sun, you are just too easy to be pushed around, that's why you have been suppressed for so many years, and the Ministry of Justice has become the weakest department among the six ministries, none other. If you had half of my skill, you would have ascended long ago."

"In the end, I am just the Minister of Justice, even if I ascend, where can I ascend to? My ability is limited, and I am already satisfied with my status and position today. Don't incite me to commit mistakes!"

Sun Daoning admired Chen Guanlou's thick face, but he didn't intend to imitate it.

Everyone has their own path!

Seeking common ground while reserving differences is enough!

"Fine!" Chen Guanlou didn't say anything more.

After sending Sun Daoning away, he welcomed Chen Guanfu. He also only stayed for a cup of tea and drank two glasses of wine.

Later, several people with noble status came, and Chen Guanlou was busy welcoming and sending off, busy drinking and accompanying guests.

Chen Xiaolan felt honored, raised her eyebrows and exhaled, quite excited and high-profile.

The old Chen family can finally be considered to have made it.

Thinking back to when the dead father was still alive, their family was disliked everywhere. After the parents died, there was a period of time when life was really difficult.

Years passed, the younger brother was promising, and the old Chen family was glorious again.

Chen Xiaolan was so happy that she got drunk!

Along with Brother-in-law Su, she drank a few more glasses.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Chen Xiaolan let out many harsh words towards old grievances.

After sobering up, she was very annoyed. She wanted to make up for it, but couldn't let go of her face.

She could only confess truthfully to her younger brother Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou comforted her, "It doesn't matter! Don't talk about harsh words, even if you stabbed a few knives, with me covering for you, it's fine."

Chen Xiaolan was a little depressed, "Do you remember the ugly words said by several uncles and aunts after father and mother passed away? I have always remembered, I have never forgotten. Later, you became promising, life got better, and they licked their faces and gathered around. I thought, to be decent, I endured it. This time I drank a few more glasses, and I really couldn't hold it back, so I let out harsh words at them. Although I was drunk, I remember how ugly their faces were. If it really doesn't work, why don't you accompany me to apologize."

"Apologize for what, what is there to apologize for. They humiliated us, and they didn't apologize afterwards. You humiliated them, so naturally, there is no need to apologize. Don't worry, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in."

Chen Xiaolan said "um".

After this incident, the knot in her heart for many years could be considered untied.

Later, when someone was sarcastic in front of her, she could also forcefully retort. She would never wrong herself for the sake of so-called decency again.

Because she had the best younger brother in the world, who would always cover for her.

After the banquet, everyone changed their address to Chen Guanlou as Company Commander Chen, or Company Commander. Only the people in the Heavenly Prison called him Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen.

Even the brother unit, the Six Shanmen, changed their address to Company Commander Chen.

In the simple values of the world, Company Commander Chen is a hundred times more decent than Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen!

Chen Guanlou:...

Nothing to say!

Compared to Jiang Jiang Yucheng, the oil and water of Company Commander are not just a little bit different.

The Heavenly Prison opened for business again, and Chen Guanlou was beaming with joy.

Emperor Yuanding and the Secretariat were fighting, and as the saying goes, when gods fight, ghosts suffer.

Imperial Consort Li's elder brother was thrown into the Heavenly Prison, with charges nailed down: slaughtering lives, selling offices, encroaching on good farmland, forcing good women into prostitution, corruption and bribery, damaging the court's reputation...

Li Yanmo was the suffering ghost.

For several years, he had been impeached, and Emperor Yuanding had always strongly protected him.

This time, in order to teach Emperor Yuanding a lesson, Xie Changling directly arrested Li Yanmo. In this way, he silently told Emperor Yuanding: even if it is someone strongly protected by the Emperor, if the Secretariat wants to deal with them, no one can stop it.

Emperor Yuanding was so angry that he smashed the palace.

Imperial Consort Li ran to him crying, pleading for her elder brother, saying that her elder brother was framed...

When his beloved consort cried, Emperor Yuanding felt heartache!

"Beloved consort, don't worry, the elder brother will be released after being locked up for a few days. I guarantee that I won't let him suffer."

"Your Majesty, they are too bullying! Your Majesty must make the decision for this concubine!"

"I will definitely make the decision for you."

Sooner or later, he would slaughter those old ministers in the Secretariat, leaving none behind.

Although the arrest of Li Yanmo was reasonable and well-founded, Emperor Yuanding only regarded it as Xie Changling trying to humiliate him. He remembered this humiliation. One day, he would make the Xie family pay it back ten times, a hundred times.

Li Yanmo was personally sent to the Heavenly Prison by the Minister of Justice, Sun Daoning.

A mere Fifth-Rank official, Sun Daoning actually had to escort him personally.

The status of a Duke's brother-in-law is extraordinary!

Chen Guanlou looked coldly at the Duke's brother-in-law getting off the carriage, thirty or forty years old, with a small mustache, regular features, and slightly fat. Imperial Consort Li could be favored for a long time, she must be a peerless beauty.

The Li family could produce such a beautiful beauty as Imperial Consort Li, the genes must not be bad. The Duke's brother-in-law inherited the Li family's good genes, even in middle age, he was still a handsome uncle.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, this is Minister Li! From today on, Minister Li will temporarily reside in the Heavenly Prison, you must take good care of him."

Sun Daoning gave Li Yanmo enough face in front of everyone. It could also be considered as expressing his attitude that the Ministry of Justice had no malice towards him, and everything was done according to the rules.

The upper levels fight, the lower levels handle the work.

The Duke's brother-in-law should not hate the wrong person.

Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a bit arrogant, "So you are Company Commander Chen, we should have met."

"Met, met." Chen Guanlou laughed, "Hua Yue Lou, regular customer!"

Once you hear the name Hua Yue Lou, you know it's a place of wind and moon.

Everyone is a person of wind and moon, so it's true that they have met.

Li Yanmo suddenly realized, "No wonder you look familiar! Company Commander Chen is actually a person of the same path, have a chance to communicate."

"Okay!" Chen Guanlou agreed with a smile, "Minister Li, please this way! The prison cell has been cleaned up, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Sun Daoning, the dignified Minister of Justice, personally sent Li Yanmo to the Heavenly Prison, which was already the limit. It was impossible to personally send him into the prison cell. The Duke's brother-in-law didn't have such a big face.

He drank tea in the office, waiting for Chen Guanlou to finish his work.

Chen Guanlou personally sent Li Yanmo to the Heavenly Prison, the supreme prison cell, clean and tidy, with a bed and a table, as well as bookshelves and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. When the sun rises every day, there is sunlight coming through the small window on the wall. Although there is only a ray of sunlight, it is extremely rare.

This condition, other prisoners dream of wanting.

"Minister Li, we have arrived. This is your prison cell, do you see if you are satisfied?"

Li Yanmo smelled the unique stench of the Heavenly Prison, and the whole person felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to die.

The Li family was already wealthy, and his sister was an Imperial Consort, Li Yanmo, who had never suffered since childhood, looked at the dim prison cell in front of him, how could he endure such a dirty environment.

He wanted to attack on the spot, but when the words reached his lips, facing Chen Guanlou's smile-but-not-smile expression, he swallowed them back alive.

"Many thanks to Company Commander Chen. I am here to go to jail, how dare I be picky."
