Chapter 1731

Prison Clerk Miao was drugged and couldn't speak. He stared at Medical Official Mu with angry eyes, as if he were scolding him for being a running dog. Being Chen Guanlou's running dog was useless and shameful!

Medical Official Mu didn't care at all.

The first element of working in the Heavenly Prison is to be shameless.

He said righteously, "If I don't be Lord Chen's running dog, could it be that I should be your running dog, Prison Clerk Miao? Can you afford to pay?"

Prison Clerk Miao was so angry that he rolled his eyes frequently.

"Stop rolling them! You're at death's door and still refuse to be honest; I've seen too many people like you, all greedy and never satisfied."

After Medical Official Mu finished nagging, he carried his medicine box and left.

He didn't like Prison Clerk Miao.

The Heavenly Prison is one family.

Yet Prison Clerk Miao practiced mysticism in the B-block prison, forming his own system. It was very bad! The influence was very bad.

He was old and only hoped that the Heavenly Prison would be safe and sound, without any accidents, and without anyone dying!

Sun Daooning arrived very quickly.

Upon learning that there was news from the investigation, he put down the errand in his hand and came to the Heavenly Prison for the first time.

Upon learning that there were more than a dozen extra prisoners in the B-block prison and that Prison Clerk Miao refused to open his mouth, his expression seemed a bit blank.

"I asked you to investigate the Worshiping God Sect; why are you investigating Prison Clerk Miao?"

"There are more than a dozen extra prisoners in the B-block prison, with no case files and no registration; don't you think it's suspicious? Old Sun, do you know something? Could it be that you are the protective umbrella behind Prison Clerk Miao, and those dozen or so extra prisoners were arranged by you?"

Chen Guanlou speculated with the greatest malice.

Who made Sun Daooning's reaction wrong, giving him the feeling of doing a bad thing with good intentions.

The water here is deep.

He couldn't help but think more about it.

"Nonsense! Stop making things up about me! The B-block prison detains people from noble and military families who have committed offenses; what could it have to do with the Worshiping God Sect? As for the dozen or so extra prisoners, I will investigate it clearly myself."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, "Old Sun, don't cover it up; you are very wrong. What secret is hidden in the B-block prison?"

"Where is there any secret? Don't think so much. Where is Prison Clerk Miao? I want to see him."

Chen Guanlou hesitated for a moment, let someone take Sun Daooning over, and at the same time ordered Medical Official Mu to take the antidote.

"My lord, are we not going to pursue this matter?" Medical Official Mu asked curiously.

"You've seen Old Sun's attitude; how do you expect me to pursue it? Old Mu, have you ever heard any rumors about the B-block prison?"

Medical Official Mu recalled carefully and shook his head, "Really not. I've been serving in the Heavenly Prison for decades, and the B-block prison has no difference from the C-block prison other than having better conditions."

"Prison Clerk Miao is mysterious; I'm afraid he has some background."

Since there is no problem with the prison, the problem must be with the person.

Chen Guanlou made this guess.

Medical Official Mu gave him an idea, "Why doesn't the lord eavesdrop a little?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head, not interested.

Just as he said, he is only responsible for guarding prisoners, not for investigating or interrogating cases. If the Ministry of Justice investigates Prison Clerk Miao's matter, he will cooperate. If they don't investigate, he will turn a blind eye.

However, from now on, Prison Clerk Miao can forget about working under him.

Either get out, or be a dead man!

There will be no third path here with him.

Sun Daooning and Prison Clerk Miao closed the door and chatted for a full half-hour. Afterward, Sun Daooning took the person away, calling it an investigation.

Chen Guanlou glanced at the pale Prison Clerk Miao and asked for advice, "Lord Sun, how will the dozen or so extra prisoners in the B-block prison be dealt with? Kill them or skin them, at least give me a definite word."

"Don't worry about it. Later, the Ministry of Justice will arrange for people to come and deal with those prisoners. Your task is to keep a close eye on the C-block prison and the A-block prison; don't interfere with the B-block prison's affairs."

Fine!

Practicing mysticism all day long, it's all things that can't see the light.

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to participate and too lazy to ask.

Prison Clerk Miao didn't have a high sense of presence in the Heavenly Prison. His accident and departure didn't attract any attention.

Two days later, news spread that Prison Clerk Miao died at home, having committed suicide by taking poison.

Chen Guanlou personally made a trip to the Miao family; the corpse was indeed Prison Clerk Miao, not a fake. He even had Medical Official Mu secretly examine the corpse to ensure it was a real death, not a fake one.

Prison Clerk Miao died!

Died very suddenly!

There wasn't a single sign beforehand.

Prison Clerk Miao's family was miserable, looking very sad, but in reality, half of the emotion was acted out.

So fake!

The whole family gave people a feeling of being abnormal. It was as if they had to be combined together for some reason.

"Can you tell what kind of poison it is?" Chen Guanlou asked Medical Official Mu.

"It's just ordinary rat poison." Medical Official Mu said softly, "Does the lord feel that this family is strange?"

"I discovered it long ago."

Prison Clerk Miao died!

The dozen or so extra prisoners in the B-block prison were taken away by the Ministry of Justice; half a month later, they were re-registered and sent into the prison cells. This move of 'export to domestic sales' was played beautifully; after going through the process, their identities were whitewashed.

Looking at the case files, Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in admiration at the content that didn't show any problems. He admired the executive power of the Ministry of Justice officials; the case files were written to the point of perfection. The more ordinary and simple it was, the more real it appeared! It's just that I don't know if it can withstand on-site verification.

The B-block prison cannot be without a prison clerk.

The Ministry of Justice was afraid that Chen Guanlou would interfere with the B-block prison; as soon as Prison Clerk Miao died, they hurriedly arranged a new prison clerk. His surname was Gu, Prison Clerk Gu! He looked honest and simple.

Only after seeing with his own eyes how this person dealt with disobedient prisoners did he know that this was a person with a simple face but a dark heart. Compared to Prison Clerk Miao, who practiced mysticism, Prison Clerk Gu was clearly more deterrent, and his methods were simpler and rougher.

Prison Clerk Gu must know the mission he bore and also know what attitude to use to get along with Chen Guanlou.

On the first day of work, he brought a gift to see Chen Guanlou, having done enough work.

Chen Guanlou didn't make things difficult for him either, "Prison Clerk Gu is too polite. From now on, we are all colleagues, helping each other and making progress together. By the way, where did Prison Clerk Gu work before?"

"I wouldn't call it a high position! My ancestors were coroners, and I have been working in the Ministry of Justice. Until my father changed his profession to become a yamen runner, I inherited my father's profession and engaged in prison affairs. I am lucky in this life to be able to work in the Heavenly Prison with Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. I still ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to take care of me a little. I am deeply grateful!"

"Prison Clerk Gu is too polite. Your family is a family of prison affairs, and you are more experienced than me. Let's take care of each other."

"I listen to the lord!" Prison Clerk Gu appeared very sincere, and his appearance contributed more than half of the credit. Clearly a shrewd and calculating person, yet he had an honest face that was very easy to trust. It could be said that heaven rewarded him with food, and he was born suitable for eating this bowl of prison affairs rice.

The two sides went back and forth, chatting happily for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Chen Guanlou served tea to see the guest off; Prison Clerk Gu left the gift, bowed, and retreated to take over the B-block prison.

Medical Official Mu crawled out from the side room and told Chen Guanlou, "I have seen his grandfather in the Ministry of Justice, but I have never seen their father and son."

"Do you know his grandfather?"

"The coroner surnamed Gu; before he died, I cooperated with him many times. He spoke very little! I didn't expect Prison Clerk Gu to be Coroner Gu's grandson."

"Do the grandfather and grandson look alike?"

"Five parts alike."

"He has been working in the Ministry of Justice; why haven't I seen him before?"

"Perhaps he wasn't in the capital."
