Chapter 1844
The eldest prince fell into the water, and Chen Guanlou went to the Hou Fu to visit once, and learning that the eldest prince was safe, he was relieved.
The eldest prince was tied to the Hou Fu lineage, and the nobles and military generals in the capital were all betting on the eldest prince.
Once the eldest prince encountered an accident, these nobles and military generals would probably explode, and the Hou Fu's situation would appear particularly awkward. At that time, hearts would be scattered, and with Chen Guanfu in mourning, the Emperor would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and no one would have a good life.
The Ministry of Justice sent an order from the temporary palace, granting Marquis Fanyang Lü Pu permission to return home to recuperate. At the same time, it brought Emperor Yuanding's reprimand.
Marquis Fanyang Lü Pu, whose condition had originally stabilized, heard the Emperor's reprimand, and his condition worsened again.
Fortunately, he was in the Heavenly Prison, and Medical Official Mu worked wonders and saved him. It was just that the hemiplegia symptoms worsened.
Young Master Lü Fang frowned, very worried.
He nagged to Chen Guanlou, "Does His Majesty really hate our Lü family so much? My father is already so miserable, and he still doesn't forget to reprimand him. Is this forcing someone to death?"
"Eh, maybe you guessed right. Perhaps His Majesty's purpose is to let the Marquis die in the Heavenly Prison. As long as he dies, the nature of the matter is resistance against His Majesty, it is disobedience! You know the consequences."
It seemed Chen Guanlou was alarmist, but Lü Fang felt more and more that this was the fact.
This was the Emperor's purpose.
"How can His Majesty treat the descendants of meritorious officials like this!" He was angry, very angry. But it was just incompetent rage.
Chen Guanlou sneered twice, "The temporary palace is a mess! I am in the capital, only hearing some side details, and I feel the temporary palace is messy to death. The court is messy, the harem is messy. The Emperor is probably in a fit of anger, the Brocade Uniform Guard has killed quite a few court officials, and treating your family is already considered polite.
If he really wanted to target your family with clear swords and guns, the Marquis wouldn't be going home to recuperate, but to the neighboring imperial prison to recuperate. You, after going back, be law-abiding, at this time moving is not as good as being still. Don't let the Emperor remember you, and that's success."
Lü Fang followed the advice and took his father back to the Earl's mansion. From then on, he lived behind closed doors, did not socialize or entertain, with the image of an honest and law-abiding citizen, so as not to suffer from the disaster of the pond fish.
Marquis Fanyang Lü Fang was released from prison, and Cui Qingping was still detained in the cell.
He was not in a hurry either!
He was very open-minded.
"At least I am still alive and have not fallen into the hands of the Brocade Uniform Guard. I heard that quite a few people died in the temporary palace?"
Chen Guanlou chatted with him, not minding revealing news from the outside, "Indeed, several officials died, dying in party strife. I heard that recently the Censorate has been trying hard to impeach Zhao Jichong, and even officials from the Jixia Academy have suffered. A few days ago, the eldest prince fell into the water. In short, the temporary palace is a mess."
"Is the eldest prince okay?"
"Rescued in time. The Empress took the eldest prince and has returned to the palace."
"The Empress returned alone?" Cui Qingping frowned slightly, "His Majesty actually agreed?"
"Why not agree? The Empress is the victim, and it is proper for the Emperor to compromise a little."
Cui Qingping pondered this matter; the Emperor's attitude was not quite right, could it be...
He glanced at Chen Guanlou from time to time, with a look of wanting to speak but stopping.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"Nothing. I have some guesses, but they don't count!"
Chen Guanlou smiled, "You want to say that His Majesty is showing goodwill to the Hou Fu, right?"
Cui Qingping coughed lightly, "Listening to your description of the situation in the temporary palace, it is indeed very messy. Messy means that His Majesty is being suppressed. Xie Xiang has not shown mercy! With His Majesty's temper, he urgently needs to get out of trouble. The Hou Fu is the best help. His Majesty showing goodwill to the Hou Fu is a proper thing!"
"You officials, your brains are really good." Chen Guanlou praised casually.
Cui Qingping didn't care, but was worried, "In this way, my days of being released from prison are indefinitely far away. Alas..."
"Seeing Marquis Fanyang released from prison, you are also anxious. I thought you were really steady."
Cui Qingping laughed at himself, "Marquis Fanyang's way of being released from prison is very indecent and very miserable. I don't want to fall to that point. I just want to be safe and sound, and be released from prison innocently and openly. Not like a half-dead piece of trash, carried out."
Chen Guanlou teased, "Fortunately, Marquis Fanyang is not here. If he heard you arranging him like this, his condition would definitely worsen. Maybe he wouldn't be able to catch his breath, and he would die. In that case, you would be the murderer and be executed directly on the execution ground."
"Absurd!"
Cui Qingping was unhappy; how could he joke like this.
He was clearly cursing him.
Warden Chen's mouth was really poisonous.
He didn't like it in his heart.
He was afraid of the crow's mouth; good things don't work, bad things do.
Chen Guanlou laughed and walked out of the Grade A prison, and the Grade C prison became noisy.
A reckless prisoner, when being dragged to the torture room by the prison guards, suddenly broke free, grabbed the water and fire stick in the prison guard's hand, showed great power, and beat the prison guards until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
For a time, no one could get close.
Li Shuan was organizing the prison guards to catch people.
He was responsible for the money beating, and now that something happened, he had to be responsible for the aftermath.
Huang Ye took the opportunity to complain, "Li Shuan's method of money beating is extremely vicious, and he is already notorious in the Grade C prison, and even the newly imprisoned prisoners have heard of it. Once they hear that they are going to the torture room to be punished, the prisoners are immediately afraid. From fear comes hatred, which led to today's incident.
Previously, Prison Clerk Xu was responsible for money beating, and such things never happened. It can be seen that Li Shuan's methods are comparable to the neighboring imperial prison. He is clearly ruining the reputation of the Heavenly Prison. My lord, the small one dares to ask you to severely punish Prison Clerk Li."
Chen Guanlou swept a cold look at the other party.
Huang Ye felt cold all over, trembling with fear, and didn't dare to speak. He followed closely behind Warden Chen and went down to the Grade C prison.
Still confronting!
"Trash!"
Chen Guanlou cursed, "A mere prisoner, you have so many people, and you can't take him down."
Li Shuan was about to plead guilty, when with a bang, the prisoner was already lying on the ground unable to move, the water and fire stick rolled to the ground, falling at Li Shuan's feet.
"My lord, forgive me!"
Li Shuan took the lead and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
Other prison guards followed suit and knelt.
Chen Guanlou sneered, "Come two people, lock the prisoner in the cell and guard him strictly. Without my order, don't make things difficult for him. Li Shuan, follow me to the office. Huang Ye, pull out the prisoner's file, I want to see what kind of hero he is, daring to be fierce in the Heavenly Prison."
Everyone accepted the order and performed their duties.
Chen Guanlou went straight back to the office, and Huang Ye hurriedly pulled out the file.
Li Shuan stood trembling in the office, looking like a disaster was imminent, trying his best to argue and escape, very worried.
"Li Shuan, do you know your crime?"
"The small one knows the crime, please punish me, my lord!" Li Shuan was very direct and decisively admitted his guilt and punishment. Regardless of his work ability, at least his attitude of admitting guilt was very good and very sensible.
Chen Guanlou sneered, "Then tell me, where is your crime?"
"The small one, the small one lost vigilance and let the prisoner find a loophole, which is really not right."
"Anything else?"
Anything else?
Li Shuan was dumbfounded: think fast, what else is wrong?
