Chapter 1799: Must break the leg

Sun Daoning's so-called "as soon as possible" took twenty days.

Yuan Sikai looked forward to it, once thinking that Chen Guanlou had cheated him of silver, and several times wanted to ask questions. If it weren't for holding onto a glimmer of hope, he really couldn't control his mouth.

When Chen Guanlou took the release document to see him, he was both excited and ashamed. He actually doubted Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's credit and doubted that the other party had swallowed his silver; it was too inappropriate.

He thanked him solemnly, "Before, I had many misunderstandings about Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please forgive me."

Chen Guanlou smiled knowingly, "Because I am surnamed Chen and am a clan brother of Chen Guanfu, you misunderstood me. Now that I help you get out of prison, you are grateful to me. Master Yuan, haven't you noticed that your perception of others is very subjective, lacking objective consciousness from beginning to end? Because you dislike someone, you conclude that the other party is a bad person, instead of seeking proof of whether the other party is really a bad person.

In this way, when you do things in officialdom, are you also so subjective? In the future, when you go to the local area to be a parent official and judge lawsuits, do you also judge lawsuits based on first impressions, instead of based on the truth of the facts? I am truly worried for the people you will govern in the future!"

Yuan Sikai was very embarrassed at this moment, and there was quite a bit of resentment toward Chen Guanlou in his heart.

He originally intended to reconcile with the other party, thinking the other party was not bad. At this moment, he took back the idea that the person was not bad.

It was just a little thief who only cared about money!

The Ministry of Justice condoned the Heavenly Prison's extortion and blackmail of imprisoned officials; once he returned to his original position, he would definitely impeach the Ministry of Justice.

He didn't show it on his face, "Many thanks to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen for the reminder, my training is insufficient, I will learn the lesson in the future."

Chen Guanlou sneered and opened the prison door, "I'll send you out of prison. Be a good official and don't go in a second time."

If the one surnamed Yuan went in a second time, he would definitely knock a ruthless one and make the other party bleed.

"Of course I won't go in a second time, don't you try to curse me." Yuan Sikai was very unhappy.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, watching the change in the other party's attitude before and after with a cold eye.

According to convention, food and drink would be prepared for the imprisoned official leaving prison, as well as hot water for washing, and clean clothes to change into, so he could leave prison decently.

When it came to Yuan Sikai, all these conventions were omitted.

He just let the one surnamed Yuan leave prison in prison clothes.

Heavenly Prison Gatekeeper:...

Heavenly Prison Jailer:...

This person must have offended Master Chen!

This person must have no observation skills!

Even the clerks in the signing room came out to watch, just like watching a curiosity.

Yuan Sikai didn't understand the tricks here and didn't realize the problem. He just thought the Heavenly Prison jailers were ignorant, pointing fingers even when leaving prison.

Absurd!

No one reminded him.

He walked out of the Heavenly Prison gate in prison clothes.

The steward who had been waiting for a long time showed a shocked expression, "How did Young Master come out like this?"

"If I didn't come out like this, how would I come out?" Yuan Sikai asked back.

The steward saw that there were already passersby watching around, so he had no time to explain, hurriedly greeting Yuan Sikai to get on the carriage, and would explain after leaving.

When Yuan Sikai learned that imprisoned officials leaving the Heavenly Prison would all wash clean, change into clean clothes, and walk out of the Heavenly Prison decently, he wished he could let the coachman turn back and fight Chen Guanlou to the death.

"Deceiving people too much! Deceiving people too much! This official gave him ten thousand taels, a full ten thousand taels, and he actually humiliated this official like this. Making this official a laughingstock. I'm afraid this matter has already spread to the imperial court; how will this official face colleagues in the future? Chen Guanlou deserves to die! He deserves to die!"

He was furious and his expression was ferocious.

The reason he liked to pretend was because he valued face and reputation the most.

Chen Guanlou playing this hand was equivalent to throwing the thing he valued most on the ground and stepping on it hard twice; it was deceiving people too much!

"This official will not spare him! This official will sooner or later make him pay the price. I don't believe that Sun Daoning can sit in the position of Minister of Justice for a lifetime."

Yuan Sikai made a vow in his heart, sooner or later he would make Chen Guanlou look good.

Chen Guanlou didn't care at all whether he was resented; there were many people who wanted him to die, and he was still living well until now.

Medical Official Mu nagged twice, "Observing Yuan Sikai's face, he is a petty and vengeful person. You teased him like this, aren't you afraid he will retaliate in the future? He is a top scholar; the top scholars of this dynasty, if there are no accidents, have no bad prospects. Even if he can't enter the Political Affairs Hall in the future, he can occupy a seat in the imperial court."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "There are many officials more awesome than him, can I be afraid of him? Old Mu, you underestimate me too much. I bet he won't be able to climb to a high position before he falls."

"How can you tell!"

"Officialdom is not suitable for gentlemen, but for villains. But look at him, he can neither be a gentleman nor a villain. He just wants to be a hypocrite. If he can pretend for a lifetime, that's fine, everyone admires him. But look at him, is he that kind of material?"

Medical Official Mu pondered, and it was really true.

Yuan Sikai's thoughts were not hard to guess.

People who mix in officialdom are all human spirits; even if they can't see through at a glance, they can see through after looking a few more times.

Such a person, when anyone interacts with him, will leave a hand.

"Master's words are reasonable. Yuan Sikai still has to stumble a few times."

Nephew Su Xuewen, after serving as an official, worked hard to save money.

After saving enough money, he invited his uncle Chen Guanlou to drink. The place for the treat was a famous high-end restaurant in the capital, and a meal cost one or twenty taels of silver.

Chen Guanlou accepted his heart, "No need to come to this kind of place next time, it's dead expensive. Just find any restaurant with good taste."

Su Xuewen laughed, neither refuting nor promising.

Chen Guanlou glanced at him, "Earned money?"

"Earned some and spent it all."

"Quite capable of spending money. Where did you spend it, tell me."

"Just... eating, drinking, and playing..."

"Not right."

As soon as Chen Guanlou heard it, he realized there was a problem, "I heard your mother say that most of the time, you go home to eat, and eat in the cafeteria at noon. Occasionally there are social engagements, and the consumption is not high, one or two taels of silver is enough. You have one or two social engagements a month. You serve in the household department of the government office, not to mention the salary, just the extra income per month, ranging from seven or eight taels to ten or twenty taels of silver. You only hand in one tael of silver for household expenses per month. The rest of the money is all spent?"

Eating at home, living at home, an average of ten taels of silver a month, and it was all spent.

Chen Guanlou's expression was smiling but not smiling; the stinky boy didn't tell the truth.

Su Xuewen was a bit guilty.

He rubbed his cheeks, not daring to look at his uncle.

Chen Guanlou ate and drank by himself, not in a hurry to pursue the question.

But just sitting in the position, even if he didn't speak, he gave Su Xuewen great pressure. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

Eating to five percent full, seeing that the heat was almost there, Chen Guanlou finally spoke, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly. If you miss the opportunity, I won't care about you."

"I, I, I just took a fancy to a girl."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Taking a fancy to a girl, this is a good thing. Your mother is almost worried to death about your marriage. Which family's girl, what is the situation at home, tell me."

Su Xuewen was even more guilty and uneasy.

Chen Guanlou frowned, could it be that he took a fancy to a prostitute?

What a sin!
