Chapter 179: Worthy of being a descendant of a famous family

"Where is Prison Clerk Fan?"

After sending off Sun Daoning, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan regained control of the Heavenly Prison, and his confidence as a Warden returned. But he was full of anger and was looking for an outlet to vent. Remembering Prison Clerk Fan, who had not shown his face, he immediately asked.

The prison guards looked at each other; where would they know the whereabouts of Master Little Fan? As subordinates, not inquiring about the whereabouts of their superiors was the rule.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan was so angry that he felt like exploding. "Is there no one who knows clearly?"

"Reporting to my lord, Master Little Fan has a severe stomach ache and is currently at the medical clinic, waiting for the physician to apply needles."

At the critical moment, Chen Guanlou stood out and stood in front of all the prison guards.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan tightened his face, his mood very complicated.

He knew very well that Chen Guanlou was talking nonsense, but he couldn't expose it. He couldn't accuse Chen Guanlou of talking nonsense; after all, the other party was protecting Master Little Fan's face, which was equivalent to protecting his own face as Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan. One brush stroke couldn't write two 'Fan' characters; he should be grateful to the other party for smoothing things over and protecting his face, giving him a step down.

However, he inevitably felt uncomfortable in his heart. He was angry that Master Little Fan was not living up to expectations and angry that Chen Guanlou was too sensible.

Now, he could only tighten his face and scold angrily, "Tell Prison Clerk Fan to roll back immediately. Such a big thing happened in the Heavenly Prison, and as the official in charge of the Jia-character prison, he is not at the scene; is this appropriate?"

"My lord's criticism is correct; I will go and invite Master Little Fan now." Chen Guanlou agreed repeatedly.

"You don't need to go; arrange for others to call him. Tell him that if he doesn't come over again, he won't have to come over in the future. You, come with me."

While gesturing to the prison guards to urge Prison Clerk Fan, Chen Guanlou followed Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan into the office.

The office seemed to still have the smoke of the battle between the Ministry of Justice and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, making people feel tense.

"I wonder what instructions my lord has?"

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan had a headache, his face full of sorrow, so worried that he didn't even want to speak. It was still Private Secretary Li who acted on his behalf and said, "It's like this: before Lord Sun left, he gave instructions that before he returns, even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard really brings the edict, the Heavenly Prison cannot release the prisoner. This matter is truly difficult to handle! The Heavenly Prison is small and weak; how can it dare to fight against the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Lord Sun is making things too difficult for Warden Fan."

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan sighed. "I am currently being roasted on the fire and have no way at all. Little Chen, your brain is flexible; what do you say should be done about today's matter?"

Chen Guanlou lowered his head and remained silent, pretending to be thinking.

Neither Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan nor Private Secretary Li urged him, only hoping he could say something insightful.

Chen Guanlou thought left and right and decided to probe first. "I wonder what my lord plans to do?"

"What plans could I have? You two should use your brains more and share my worries; after the matter is over, there will be no shortage of benefits for you." Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan made a verbal promise, but whether it could be fulfilled was a question mark. However, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan was more generous than Prison Clerk Fan; this was beyond doubt.

Chen Guanlou secretly glanced at Private Secretary Li; he wanted to hear Private Secretary Li's suggestion first.

"My lord, the student believes that only the 'delay' strategy can solve the current problem. It is best if Lord Sun rushes back one step ahead. If he cannot rush back, I think the 'delay' strategy can also solve the urgent need."

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan nodded secretly, agreeing with Private Secretary Li's statement; the 'delay' strategy was indeed a way. He looked at Chen Guanlou again. "Little Chen, what about you?"

"The Heavenly Prison is a yamen under the Ministry of Justice and should listen to the instructions of the Ministry of Justice's superiors; no one can pick out any faults. Furthermore, my lord has a bright future and must consider the criticism of the literati."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan's expression froze, and then he suddenly realized. Chen Guanlou's words were like a divine enlightenment, instantly opening his Ren and Du meridians.

He was a civil official!

He was on the path of a civil official; how could he be in the same boat as the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Sun Daoning arguing based on reason with Xiao Jincheng was also because of the civil official's position; he had to fight and not give an inch. This was determined by the position and interests.

Why was he hesitating!

Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard was awesome, they couldn't kill a current court official at the feet of the Son of Heaven at will. Even if he was a small Jiang Jiang Yucheng, the Embroidered Uniform Guard couldn't just grab him if they wanted to. If he was framed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he might even be able to win a beautiful reputation among the literati. As long as he didn't die, these would be his political capital to take off in the future.

"Hahaha..." Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan figured out the joints, feeling refreshed all over. "It still has to be Little Chen, worthy of being a descendant of a famous family, with extraordinary insight, grasping the key to this matter in one sentence."

Chen Guanlou hurriedly said modestly, "It is all thanks to the guidance of my lord and Mr. Li on ordinary days, which allowed me to learn a lot. I dare not take the credit."

Private Secretary Li, who was originally dissatisfied because his limelight was stolen, heard Chen Guanlou's modest words, and his mood instantly became great. He climbed up the pole and said, "I just said Little Chen has talent; every time I give a little hint, he can draw inferences about other cases. So intelligent, I even want to formally accept Little Chen as a disciple."

"Thanks to Mr. Li for thinking highly of me, I am terrified and afraid of failing to live up to your high expectations."

People lift each other up in flowery sedan chairs!

Both sides were very satisfied.

The most satisfied was Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan. "I am a disciple of the Sage; I have nothing else, only ambition. Pass the order down: before Lord Sun arrives, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is absolutely not allowed to take the person. The Heavenly Prison is a yamen under the Ministry of Justice; how can we tolerate outsiders being presumptuous."

What a tough Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan.

Private Secretary Li was a bit worried and whispered a reminder, "The student believes it is necessary to remind the prison guards below to be more polite to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. After all, they are brother yamen, and we see each other when we look up. Leave a line in everything so we can see each other in the future."

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan followed the advice and immediately ordered, "Little Chen, you are neither humble nor arrogant when facing the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and your words and actions are reasonable and well-founded, which is very good and has not lost the face of our Heavenly Prison. Later, when the Embroidered Uniform Guard comes to take the person again, you will come forward to deal with it; do not lose the backbone of the Heavenly Prison."

Chen Guanlou bared his teeth; asking him to be responsible for receiving that group of killing gods from the Embroidered Uniform Guard was thinking too highly of him.

"I will strictly follow my lord's instructions! Should we send someone to pay attention to the movement at the palace gate?"

"You reminded me correctly. For this matter, Private Secretary Li, you arrange it. Arrange a few clever people to go to the palace gate to inquire about the news, and report it immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes!"

The two of them received their tasks one after another and withdrew. After walking far from the office, both of them stopped at the same time.

Chen Guanlou said first, "Private Secretary, this matter is not easy to handle!"

Private Secretary Li complained, "You shouldn't have fanned the flames, saying something about literati criticism. Do you think I don't know the importance of literati reputation? The reason I didn't mention this matter was that I understand the lord's temper; he is easily impulsive."

To put it bluntly, he loved empty fame.

For the sake of so-called reputation, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan could also have a hot-blooded moment, but this made things difficult for the people below.

Chen Guanlou gave a bitter laugh. "We can't really be the running dogs of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. By then, Lord Fan's days won't be easy, and how could we have good days?"

"Sigh, that's why this matter is a dilemma." Private Secretary Li sighed. "Let's take one step at a time; I hope Sun Daoning's side can be faster."

"Can being faster be faster than the Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Chen Guanlou expressed doubt.

Private Secretary Li spread his hands. "Things have reached this point; I only pray the flames of war don't burn ourselves." ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
