Chapter 21: Money confuses the eyes

Master Kongkong listened to the advice, took out the money at the bottom of the chest, and avoided the pain of flesh and blood.

Other prisoners did not have his good luck.

For a time, in the Bing-character size prison, all that came out were screams.

Xu Fugui got the silver, and the prison clerks also took the opportunity to make a fortune, everyone was very satisfied. The previous grievances also disappeared.

Xu Fugui took the money to walk the relationship, got close to Fan Yucheng, and it looked like the effect was very good. The next day, he saw a smile on his face.

He also specially patted Chen Guanlou's shoulder and praised, "Not bad. Work hard, and I will let you be a squad leader in the future."

"Xu Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and not let Xu Uncle lose face."

The fight between the Marquis Pingjiang's mansion and Jiang Tu seemed to have made progress.

This case finally alarmed the Emperor, and the censors began to exert force, taking the opportunity to impeach Jiang Tu. Impeach him for competing with the people for profit, killing people, corruption and breaking the law, corrupting the court, and secretly harboring great ambitions.

Other charges are fine, as long as they are officials, they cannot leave the things of competing with the people for profit and corruption and breaking the law. The really fatal one is the last one, secretly harboring great ambitions. I don't know which smart person came up with the idea, it doesn't matter whether this charge can be implemented, the key is to plant a seed in the Emperor's heart, a seed of suspicion.

Jiang Tu is just relying on the Emperor's favor to be arrogant in the court. Without the Emperor's favor, he is not as good as a dog. A small person with no background and no backer, starting from the humble, luckily got the Emperor's favor, and flew into the sky. To deal with such a person, you only need to destroy his inherent impression in the Emperor's heart, and in the blink of an eye, you can destroy everything he has, beat him into the dust, and even not as good as his situation before he started.

The impeachment memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes, but they were all left by the Emperor without being issued. The Emperor neither expressed his position nor stopped the censors' impeachment. As a result, the censors of the Censorate launched a larger-scale impeachment, and other officials, and even local officials, began to participate in it.

For a time, Jiang Tu could be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and everyone shouted and beat him.

Looking at this situation, Chen Guanlou muttered, "Too much, too much, counterproductive."

Lu Datou didn't understand and was very puzzled, "How is it too much? Now the whole court is impeaching Jiang Tu, and it looks like he is about to fall, why are you singing the opposite."

Chen Guanlou snorted, "The censors impeached Jiang Tu for secretly harboring great ambitions, but the whole court is impeaching him. Doesn't it prove that Jiang Tu is innocent? That's why I said it was counterproductive. If you really want to implement the conspiracy of Jiang Tu secretly harboring great ambitions, the impeachment must have a degree, and at the same time, a large number of officials are needed to support Jiang Tu in turn. Now this situation, everyone shouts and beats Jiang Tu, will only make the Emperor trust Jiang Tu more, and determine that someone wants to harm Jiang Tu. One move is wrong, I am afraid the Marquis mansion will lose this game."

Lu Datou seemed to know Chen Guanlou for the first time, and looked at him deeply, "Not bad, I didn't expect you to understand the court situation, I looked down on you before. But this matter has nothing to do with us, no matter how they fight above, it will not affect the Heavenly Prison. The Heavenly Prison is still that Heavenly Prison. However, you also have the surname Chen, if the Marquis mansion loses, it will not affect you."

"I have long been out of the five clothes with the Marquis mansion, even if the three clans are exterminated, it will not be my turn." Chen Guanlou complained. Beheading is not his turn, and enjoying happiness is naturally not his turn. Wealth and responsibility complement each other.

Chen Guanlou thought the Marquis mansion was going to lose and was ready to be affected by the fish in the pond. Unexpectedly, the situation changed again. Just when the civil and military officials shouted and beat Jiang Tu, a warrior suddenly stood up to speak for Jiang Tu.

There was a second one, and more and more people spoke for Jiang Tu, and their status became higher and higher, and even the Imperial Prince joined in.

The situation that originally looked very favorable to Jiang Tu was reversed in the blink of an eye.

The Imperial Prince joined this saliva lawsuit, instantly covering the simple two-party struggle with a strange conspiracy flavor, with a posture of mountain rain coming and wind filling the building.

The Emperor seemed very angry. On an afternoon after a lunch break, in front of several ministers in the court, he reprimanded several Imperial Princes. He was scolding in his words. He didn't mention Jiang Tu throughout, but every sentence pointed to Jiang Tu.

The palace is like a sieve, and the news in the palace will not take long to spread.

Looking at the current situation, Chen Guanlou is a bit confused and a bit stunned. There are still smart people in the Marquis mansion, who actually thought of the same place as him, and reversed the situation in the blink of an eye. Jiang Tu is in danger. In this game, the Marquis mansion might win.

Lu Datou smiled happily, "I said, Jiang Tu is a villain, how can he win every time. This time, he might be unlucky. That group of gang members, when the time comes, use torture, I want to whip it myself to vent the bird anger I suffered recently. Eh, what is your expression, the Marquis mansion won, you should be happy. After all, you also have the surname Chen."

"I am not unhappy. I am thinking, since the Marquis mansion has a think tank, why did they walk a bad move before, almost letting Jiang Tu benefit. Too risky!" Chen Guanlou couldn't figure it out. How arrogant must a person be to play this move? Aren't they afraid of capsizing? As long as the Emperor's temper is a little impatient and expresses his position early, the Marquis mansion will lose completely.

Lu Datou coughed lightly, "Why do you care so much. You are not from the Marquis mansion. Maybe they have other meanings for doing this."

Chen Guanlou laughed and complained, "I can't think of any other meaning, I only saw arrogance and self-righteousness. Maybe the information I got is too little, so I can't see the whole picture, and thus cannot make an accurate judgment."

"That's right to think so. We are just prison clerks, work hard, take silver every month to drink and eat meat, don't worry about the rest."

"Brother Datou is right, I am thinking wildly."

"It doesn't matter if you think about it, don't affect your work."

Because Jiang Tu's situation was not good, the Ministry of Justice did one thing, catching the landlord surnamed Wu.

The Heavenly Prison was also restless. A group of prison clerks headed by Zhang Wantong shouted to use torture on the gang members and beat a wave of money first. Lest the constables of the Six Shanmen intervene later, and the money all went into the pockets of the Six Shanmen.

Xu Fugui was also very moved.

Chen Guanlou hurriedly advised Xu Fugui in private, never to be confused by money.

"The situation looks very clear, but after all, there is no real winner, and the Emperor has not expressed his position. As long as the Emperor trusts Jiang Tu for one day, Jiang Tu will not fall. At this time, rushing to beat money, if Jiang Tu turns the tables and investigates this matter in the future, Xu Uncle and all the prison clerks of the Bing-character size prison will not be able to eat and walk around, and maybe they will lose their heads. For the sake of safety, I think it is better to maintain the status quo."

Xu Fugui hesitated and was very entangled.

He asked, "Do you really think Jiang Tu still has a chance to turn the tables?"

Chen Guanlou didn't answer but asked, "Who in the court understands the Emperor's mind better than Jiang Tu, and who understands how to please the Emperor better than Jiang Tu?"

The nickname Imperial Consort Jiang is not called randomly.

Jiang Tu is worthy of being a favored minister. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
