Chapter 341: The person is indeed gone

Chen Guanlou rushed to the Heavenly Prison at the fastest speed.

He called the prison guard on duty and asked: "Any movement?"

The prison guard didn't understand, "Any... any movement?"

"Nothing happened?" Chen Guanlou still swallowed the words "breaking out of prison"; this matter could not be publicized, and even Wang Qiren's existence was best never to alarm the people above.

He didn't want the Heavenly Prison to be focused on.

A job with a lot of money, few things to do, and close to home shouldn't let more people discover its wonders. It was even more important to avoid being a scapegoat, especially a big black pot being placed on his head.

Just treat it as if Wang Qiren didn't exist in the world, and everyone forgot about this person; this strategy was the best.

"Nothing!" The prison guard looked confused, "Nothing happened all night, not even a person calling out."

Chen Guanlou immediately put on a straight face and scolded: "Don't just know how to gamble all day; at least put some heart into your work. Get out of the way, I'll go down and take a look, no need to follow."

"Really don't need to follow?"

"Get out! You stink all over; do you want to smoke this official to death?"

The prison guard retreated silently, then reached out and turned his head to smell his armpit, "Does it stink? Why can't I smell it? I can still wear it for three more days."

Chen Guanlou went down to the Heavenly Prison alone and walked straight towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison.

Closer!

Closer!

The cell door was wide open, and there was no one there.

The prisoner ran away!

The prisoner was taken away by someone!

They took the person away from the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison without a sound.

Zhang Daohe really had an inside contact in the Heavenly Prison.

He suddenly woke up; why did Zhang Daohe find him? Because he was on duty tonight, Zhang Daohe's purpose was actually to drag him away. Conversely, if he were willing to help get the person out, Zhang Daohe's accomplices naturally wouldn't need to break out of prison.

To drag him away, he even didn't hesitate to tell his life story.

That's not right; Zhang Daohe could completely take advantage of when he wasn't on duty to run to the Heavenly Prison and break out of prison?

Unless there was a deadline that forced the other party to take Wang Qiren away tonight.

Zhang Daohe clearly saw that he possessed profound mysteries; if they fought, it would inevitably be earth-shattering and alarm the Embroidered Uniform Guard next door. Once the Embroidered Uniform Guard was dispatched, it would be a luxury for the cult rebels to want to take Wang Qiren away safely.

The best way was to drag him away and let him stay away from the Heavenly Prison. At the same time, Zhang Daohe's accomplices followed the inside contact and quietly took Wang Qiren out of the Heavenly Prison and away from the capital.

Chen Guanlou:...

He looked at the empty cell, feeling very stuffed in his heart.

Is Zhang Daohe really Wang Qiren's grandson?

Why must he take Wang Qiren away?

Could there be other secrets about Wang Qiren? Could it really be connected to that group of cult rebels?

At this moment, he still had the heart to think about these things; he was truly big-hearted.

Zhang Daohe's purpose was reached, and now the problem fell into his hands: a prisoner suddenly went missing from the Heavenly Prison; how should it be handled?

Chen Guanlou left the Heavenly Prison silently.

Until dawn, he called Xiao Jin, "Do you know about that prisoner in the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison?"

"I know! But I've only been down there once, and it's creepy."

"The person is gone!" Chen Guanlou stated the fact calmly.

Xiao Jin was a bit confused; did this person being gone mean he died or the person was missing?

"Find a way to solve this matter."

"Does the official mean to report it?" Xiao Jin asked tentatively.

Chen Guanlou pursed his lips and let out a heavy breath, "Report the prisoner's death. Find someone to detain the handyman who delivered the food, ask him well, and don't let him come out for the time being."

"Official, reporting a death requires a body. This person is gone, meaning there is no body, right?"

The two played riddles, neither saying the words "breaking out of prison," but both understood in their hearts that this matter was breaking out of prison. The Heavenly Prison was broken into, but the robbers were very powerful and didn't make any noise, taking the person away.

No one knew the identity of the prisoner in the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison, but being specially cared for and imprisoned in the deepest part for decades, the background must not be small. If the matter of breaking out of prison was shouted out, everyone would definitely be implicated.

Since that was the case, it was better to report a death as usual. It was normal for people to die in the Heavenly Prison; every prison had a death quota. It was normal for an old prisoner who had been imprisoned for decades to suddenly die, right?

"Find a way to get a body; it must fit the atmosphere of the Heavenly Prison. Do you know how to do this? If you don't know how to do it, find Lu Datou; he has experience."

Xiao Jin bared his teeth; finding a body was easy. Outside the city, in the mass grave, there were fresh bodies every day. The difficulty was to fit the atmosphere of the Heavenly Prison and be able to cope with the inspection of the Ministry of Justice's coroner, which was more difficult.

The bodies in the Heavenly Prison were different from the bodies outside; just the smell was very different. A body that had not seen the sun for years and a body that had worked for years, even a child could distinguish the difference.

Chen Guanlou said again: "I will approve five hundred taels for you; you go to Qian Fugui to get the money. If it's not enough, ask him for more."

"Does Qian Fugui know about this?"

"Qian Fugui doesn't know. The fewer people who know about this, the better. This nameless old prisoner, what exactly is his identity, no one in the Heavenly Prison is clear. We must guard against the Ministry of Justice asking about it. If the background is very large, perhaps the palace will also send people to ask about this matter. So, it must be real!"

Chen Guanlou emphasized the word "real."

Xiao Jin understood the deep meaning, "Official, actually, there is another way to make it real. Now the weather is hot, and the body rots quickly. Our Heavenly Prison's morgue, to be honest, although gloomy, doesn't have ice cubes."

Chen Guanlou nodded secretly, "You are an old man in the Heavenly Prison; you should know which one fits the requirements of the Heavenly Prison. Don't reveal the flaws in the details; be prepared to be checked by the coroner, and even be checked by the palace. I will approve another three hundred taels for you. Eight hundred taels of silver, this matter must be handled properly. Go and do it as soon as possible. When I get off work today, I will report the death news, so you only have a few hours."

Xiao Jin took the errand, took a trusted prison guard, and hurried out to find a body source.

Chen Guanlou rubbed his eyebrows.

The trouble Zhang Daohe found for him, the key was that he didn't collect a penny, and he had to pay eight hundred taels.

Next time he sees the other party, he must kill him.

Having suffered such a big loss and still having to spend effort to clean up the mess, Chen Guanlou's mood naturally couldn't be good.

When eating at noon, he met Xu Fugui and didn't give the other party a good face. This made Xu Fugui very angry, and he quietly asked his colleague, "Did I provoke him recently?"

"Probably hasn't walked out of the shadow of the woman running away from the marriage," the colleague laughed.

Xu Fugui tsked twice, "He deserves it! Still wanting to marry a daughter of a wealthy family as a wife, what kind of onion is he? As a prison guard, one should have self-knowledge; marrying one with a big butt and good for childbearing is the right principle."

"People are scholars and are different from us."

"What's different? Still eating the bowl of rice of a prison guard, nothing more than being slightly better at flattery."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed in unison.

Xu Fugui's jealous face and the fact that Chen Guanlou was disliked by others could all please this group of Heavenly Prison guards whose lives were dry and tasteless. ===== CHAPTER 342 =====
