Chapter 332
Chen Guanlou didn't want to wade into the muddy water.
So he avoided Sitong, which was in chaos, and didn't contact Shopkeeper Li. Instead, he found another antique shop with good strength to ship the goods.
Made a small profit.
The Sitong matter finally alarmed the palace.
I heard that Prince Zhong didn't eat or drink for two consecutive days, and cried and cried in front of the Taoist priest, complaining about his grievances. The Taoist priest relayed his words to the Taoist priest in Taiji Palace, so the old emperor also knew.
The old emperor was furious!
His good son, who had been deposed from the Crown Prince position, had suffered great grievances, and he couldn't bear to continue to humiliate him, so what right did outsiders have to bully him.
Even if the good son was down and out, he was still a proper prince of the court. The Gao family was bold, bullying the prince. Do they really think the court's prince is not worth money?
Without accident, the Gao family pushed a person out to take the blame, in order to ask the old emperor to calm his anger.
So, the Heavenly Prison welcomed the Gao family prisoner, the second son of the third house, the sixteenth young master of the Gao family, known as Gao Shiliu.
Gao Shiliu was in his early twenties, maybe his studies were average, he didn't take the official path, and was arranged to manage the Gao family's industries in the capital. Snatching food from the tiger's mouth and snatching Sitong was what he handled, at least on the surface. As for who else was behind it, and whether Prince Yan had inserted a foot, there was no way to know.
Gao Shiliu looked good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like a decent person, but doing things like a villain.
Chen Guanlou arranged him in Wang Bantou's territory, letting Wang Bantou eat a wave of dividends.
The Gao family was very sensible. On the day Gao Shiliu was put into the prison cell, they sent the share money, and also sent an extra meal fee.
"My young master has never suffered since he was a child. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope Prison Clerk Chen will tolerate it. If the meal fee is not enough, just say the word, and the Gao family will give enough."
The Gao family sent a steward to come forward to hook up with the Heavenly Prison.
A mere steward, Prison Warden Lei disdained to talk. So, Chen Guanlou came forward to hand over.
"Steward Gao, don't worry, our Heavenly Prison has always been fair to children and old people, taking money to do things. If the money is in place, everything is easy to handle. In addition, our Heavenly Prison also has various packages, do you want to buy one or two for the Sixteenth Young Master? He is sitting in prison for the family after all, don't you think?"
Steward Gao smiled vaguely. "Buying a package, I have to ask the Master in the family, and I have to ask for the opinion of my young master. However, the Master in my family said before that the young master did things too improperly this time, daring to covet Prince Zhong's industry, it was really bold. Need to give him some bitterness."
Tsk!
Chen Guanlou disliked it, which meant he didn't want to buy a package.
If you don't buy it, you don't buy it, he didn't care.
"In this way, the Sixteenth Young Master acted on his own, without anyone instructing?" Just chatting, Chen Guanlou asked casually.
Steward Gao swore. "Of course, no one instructed, this matter from beginning to end, was handled by the young master alone. Until the incident, the Master in my family only learned about it."
Chen Guanlou smiled, saying it as if it were true. These stewards of the great families, one by one, were also acting like they were. He, an irrelevant outsider, heard that the Gao family took the lead in snatching Prince Zhong's industry, and no one in the Gao family knew about it.
Who believes it?
It is said that as long as you are not embarrassed, the embarrassed is others.
Steward Gao was serious and swore. Chen Guanlou couldn't force him step by step. He was not a yamen runner handling the case. He was just a prison clerk watching the prisoners.
"Does Steward Gao have anything else to explain?"
"The matter has been explained. In the future, I will trouble Prison Clerk Chen to take care of my young master."
The Gao family was very sensible and prepared a small gift for Prison Clerk Chen. It was not money, but a set of porcelain, the value was not expensive, the market price was about one hundred taels.
Chen Guanlou accepted the gift and sent Steward Gao away from the Heavenly Prison.
Afterwards, he went down to the Heavenly Prison in person and came to the cell door where Gao Shiliu was held.
"Sixteenth Young Master, your family has already paid the share money. In the future, if you have any needs, just say a word to the prison clerk. Looking at your Gao family's face, the Heavenly Prison will take care of you more."
Gao Shiliu clasped his fists. "Thank you, Prison Clerk Chen, for your care. Can I request to change a quilt?"
The standard quilt in the prison cell, well, anyway, normal people can't stand it. Chen Guanlou can't stand it either. However, the prisoners are treated like this. If you want a good one, there is none, you can only let the family send another quilt.
"This matter is simple. Your family has already packed your change of clothes and quilt, and the prison clerk will send it to you in a while."
Slap!
Gao Shiliu slapped his arm hard and killed a bug, which was as big as a little finger.
The bugs in the Heavenly Prison are bigger than those outside. It can only be said that the environment of the Heavenly Prison is very suitable for bugs to grow.
Gao Shiliu was about to cry.
He manages the family's industries and often goes out. Even if he stays in a small tavern in a remote area at night, the conditions are comparable to the Heavenly Prison, but there are people serving him, who will clean up the living environment, light incense, and drive away mosquitoes and insects.
The incense made by their Gao family's secret recipe has a very good effect of driving away mosquitoes and insects.
Walking outside for so many years, to be honest, he has never been bitten by such a big bug. He has never suffered such bitterness! The little servants and maids around him, even if they live in the wild, can serve him comfortably without suffering half a crime.
Chen Guanlou looked at Gao Shiliu's look of wanting to cry but not crying, holding back his laughter, and said seriously: "Bugs belong to the natives of the Heavenly Prison, and you will soon get used to them. Don't worry, they will bite you for at most a month. When you are thick-skinned, they will go to bite other new prisoners."
Gao Shiliu was stunned, incredulous. "A month? I have to endure for a month?"
"What is a month? Your crime is disrespect, and you won't be able to get out for half a year or a year. If you are unlucky, it is normal to be locked up for three or five years."
Gao Shiliu suddenly panicked. "But, before I came in, they all said I could get out in at most one or two months."
"How is it possible." Chen Guanlou learned the other party's appearance and shouted. "Your crime is disrespect, and being locked up for half a year or a year is already very lucky. If the crime is great disrespect, it is very normal to be locked up for ten or eight years.
Yu Zhaoan, Yu Da Ren, you know him, his crime is great disrespect, their Yu family is not worse than your Gao family, people are from Jixia Academy, and they were locked up for several years before going out. You are not an official, you are a white body, the crime is still disrespect, and you still want to go out in one or two months, how is it possible. You must have been deceived!"
"I am not a white body, I have a donated official position, Eighth-Rank official body." Gao Shiliu argued.
Chen Guanlou gave an "Oh," and re-read the file. "It is indeed written as white body, look for yourself."
Gao Shiliu saw it and was hit hard. "How is it possible, how is this possible."
Chen Guanlou pondered for a while, and suddenly realized in his heart. "It should be that when the judgment was made, your official body was taken away by the way. You are a donated official after all, without fame on your body. It can only be considered a white body. In your situation, if you want to go out early, you have to let your family work harder, don't be stingy with money. Anyway, no matter what, in one or two months, you definitely won't be able to go out."
