Chapter 311

~8 min read 1,524 words

Zhang Wenf usually showed off his power, acting willfully, and thinking he was the only one.

Locked in the Heavenly Prison, he became a bird of surprise, and any movement could make him nervous for a long time. The prison guards mocked him, still an official grandfather, really losing the face of an official grandfather.

Look at other prisoner officials, not even afraid of losing their heads.

People are very different!

Chen Guanlou patrolled the cells, patrolling to the front of Zhang Wenf's cell door. "Master Zhang, are you used to living here?"

Zhang Wenf, while scratching his skin, walked to the cell door. "So itchy, I'm bitten by bugs all over, and my skin is scratched."

"Itchy skin, this thing can only rely on you to get used to it slowly. When you are thick-skinned, the bugs won't bite you. You just came, your skin is delicate, and the bugs like it the most. Overcome it, it will be fine next month. Applying medicine now won't work, and will make you suffer more."

"But I really can't stand it." Zhang Wenf stretched out his two arms, all scratched, piece by piece. It looked indeed very serious.

Chen Guanlou twitched his brows slightly, looking at the Zhang family's pain in sending money. "Fine, I'll send someone to send you medicine. The main thing is to rely on yourself to overcome it. The Heavenly Prison has this condition, your case will probably not be able to go out for a while, you have to adapt to the environment here as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will get hotter later, and you will suffer a great crime."

"Can you change me to a cell with better conditions?" Zhang Wenf, hearing that he would suffer a great crime, panicked. "I heard that the Heavenly Prison has VIP cells, can you arrange for me to live in one."

Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile. "Do you know who the people who can live in the VIP cells of the Heavenly Prison are? One is the second young master of the Jin Prince's mansion, and one is Grand Tutor Zhuang. Are you sure you want to live in one?"

Zhang Wenf was speechless instantly. What virtue or ability did he have to dare to compare treatment with the Prince's mansion young master and the Grand Tutor of the court. If this spread out, saying a word of frivolity was his own person. Saying a word of ambitious ambition was an official enemy.

He instantly gave up the idea of changing cells, his face a bit embarrassed. "Pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Guanlou nodded approvingly. "That's right. People with higher official positions, higher status, and better family backgrounds than you didn't pick on the cell environment. You just arrived, and you asked to change cells, which easily caused public anger.

These prisoner officials in the prison, don't look at them as prisoners, they actually have great energy. It's not difficult for them to calculate you. Don't think my words are harsh.

If it weren't for your Zhang family asking for connections to the Marquis mansion, I wouldn't be able to tell you these words from the bottom of my heart. Watching you make mistakes, offending public anger, and finally being killed by small cleverness, I don't have to bear half the responsibility. After the fact, I might even get a thank-you fee."

Zhang Wenf was shocked by the words, his face pale. "Prison Clerk Chen, you must help me!"

Chen Guanlou smiled and comforted: "Since I promised the Marquis mansion to take care of you, I naturally won't sit idly by. If you have any requirements, just mention them to the prison guards, as long as they are reasonable, they will usually be satisfied.

Don't mention things like changing cells that don't follow the rules in the future, and don't mention any extravagant hopes. There are no restrictions on eating and drinking, but you must give enough silver.

It's not easy for prison guards to run errands, and they have to support their families, so it's not too much to give some silver. Don't dislike the high prices in the Heavenly Prison, this place is just this market, even when Grand Tutor lived in the prison, he also paid money according to the rules."

"Is it possible that the second young master of the Jin Prince's mansion also paid money to live in the Heavenly Prison?" Zhang Wenf instantly forgot his situation and curiously inquired about gossip.

Chen Guanlou found that this kid Zhang Wenf might have a lot of problems, but he really didn't have much scheming. After two years in officialdom, he hadn't been tempered, mainly because his family protected him too well and he hadn't experienced wind and waves.

"Irrelevant matters, ask less. Remember, this is the first rule of the Heavenly Prison."

Zhang Wenf was a bit unconvinced, plus his whole body was itchy, his mood was very irritable. Fortunately, he still had reason, didn't dare to get angry at Chen Guanlou, only complained: "Can you send the medicine quickly, I really can't stand the itching."

He lifted his trouser legs, lifted his clothes, his whole body was covered in red and swollen traces, some bitten by bugs, some scratched by hands.

"Fine, fine, someone will come to send you medicine in a while. Remember, if you want not to be itchy, raise yourself to be thick-skinned as soon as possible, eat more coarse grain, and eat less fine food. Fine food raises your skin and flesh, if the bugs don't bite you, who will they bite."

After the instructions, Chen Guanlou left leisurely.

He came to the front of Xie Changling's cell door again.

Academic god is academic god, in prison, calm, holding a storybook legend, reading with relish. Even didn't forget to comment two sentences. If there were bullet screens, he would also be a crazy bullet screen person, spitting lotus flowers, spraying countless people.

"Lord Xie, are you used to living here? Any requirements?"

"I've never seen a prison clerk as idle as you." Xie Changling complained unceremoniously.

Chen Guanlou didn't show weakness, counterattacking: "Lord Xie seems to be in prison for the first time. But listening to your tone, it seems you have rich prison experience and have seen many prison clerks,"

"Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen pigs run. The environment of the Heavenly Prison is so filthy, Prison Clerk Chen doesn't dislike it?" Xie Changling teased.

Chen Guanlou laughed happily. "This is my territory, how can I dislike my own territory being filthy."

"Then can you make the territory cleaner."

"It's already clean enough. If you came to the Heavenly Prison last year, it would be worse than now. At least the quilt you are covering now was changed this year, if you are lucky, you caught up." Chen Guanlou teased.

Xie Changling looked at the quilt under him, which could no longer see the original color, and just this, was actually changed this year. Then the old quilts before, what did they look like? Hard to imagine.

"Lord Xie, read the book slowly, I will continue to patrol the territory."

"Is His Highness the Loyal Prince okay?" Xie Changling suddenly asked.

Chen Guanlou shook his head. "This question of yours is out of bounds. I am a small prison guard, what virtue or ability do I have, where can I understand the situation of His Highness the Loyal Prince. However, I heard that Prime Minister Wu was dismissed, and has retired. Li Liangcheng was conferred the title of Grand Tutor, still in charge of the political affairs hall."

He thought that if the other party heard this news, he would be relieved. But he didn't expect that the other party actually frowned.

"You are not satisfied?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Xie Changling sighed. "His Highness the Loyal Prince's situation is becoming more and more difficult."

"Where does this start?" Chen Guanlou asked for advice with an open mind.

"I ask you, what must His Highness the Loyal Prince do to satisfy His Majesty and be worthy of this arrangement?"

Chen Guanlou was speechless instantly.

Thinking carefully, it's not as good as "ignoring". At least the Loyal Prince could choose to lie flat.

Now, the old Emperor dismissed Wu Dashou and continued to reuse Li Liangcheng. And Li Liangcheng was a recognized member of the Crown Prince's party. In this situation, how could the Loyal Prince have the face to lie flat? He must perform well and try his best to please the old Emperor to be worthy of the old Emperor's "care"!

Tired!

Proper heart tired!

First deposed the person, now pretending to release goodwill, it's useless.

What if he performs well, deposed is deposed, it's impossible to be appointed as Crown Prince again. Even the qualification to inherit the throne was lost the moment he was deposed.

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a deposed Crown Prince to inherit the throne. Because the world doesn't recognize it!

A deposed person is equivalent to being deprived of inheritance qualifications, why can he sit on the throne.
