Chapter 506: Please follow the officialdom rules

Chen Guanlou's cognition of himself has always been very clear; he has never touted himself as a good person, and he also thinks he is black-hearted and ruthless enough.

But only today did he know that he was just a younger brother.

He just wanted to earn some money from Jiang Tu; anyway, it was all that set of officialdom, and there was no distinction between good and bad, all of it was gray. Therefore, he took the money and helped Jiang Tu run errands with peace of mind.

But he didn't expect that this guy Sun Daoning was a guy who was black from head to toe. He not only wanted money, but also wanted people's lives. He didn't just eat it clean, he didn't even leave the dregs.

Chen Guanlou pulled out an unnatural smile, "Master is joking, I don't do the business of killing and robbing, and I don't take the job of killing."

"Prison Clerk Chen, doing things must be flexible! You just say whether what I said makes sense, whether Jiang Tu is a bit redundant."

Chen Guanlou didn't make a sound.

Sun Daoning didn't care, and continued: "The Three Judicial Offices are investigating the altar explosion case together. Let me tell you this, everyone wants Jiang Tu to die. Regardless of whether the explosion case has anything to do with him, he must take the blame. The tone of this matter has already been set above."

Chen Guanlou frowned, "Master should understand that if anyone least wants something to happen to the late Emperor, it must be Jiang Tu. If the late Emperor is alive, he can be rich for a long time. If the late Emperor is gone, he is a prisoner. The explosion case definitely has nothing to do with him."

Sun Daoning sneered, laughing at Chen Guanlou for being too young and not understanding the officialdom.

He said: "No one cares about his thoughts. If they say it has something to do with him above, it must have something to do with him. Even if they don't investigate the explosion case, those years Jiang Tu did those things that angered heaven and people, and the money he embezzled, do you think he can really live? His Majesty definitely wants his family property, and also wants his life."

"You go back and tell Jiang Tu that if he wants to live a little better before he dies, he should give more money. I can ensure he doesn't have to enter the Imperial Prison for trial; I can even promise to give him a cup of poisoned wine so he doesn't have to be beheaded at the execution ground."

Chen Guanlou was silent for a moment, pointed to the petition on the table, and asked: "What about this?"

Sun Daoning picked up the petition and threw it directly into the trash can, "It's not worth breaking the court rules for a treacherous official. The explosion case must have deaths, and not just one or two. Jiang Tu can't escape; he is already on the death list."

Chen Guanlou nodded, "Fine, I know."

"If you can make him open his mouth and explain a little more, this official will record a merit for you."

"I don't need this merit."

"Really don't want to be promoted?"

"If I wanted to be promoted, I would have walked the Hou Fu's path long ago, why would I have stayed in the Heavenly Prison all along."

"That's true. The Heavenly Prison, except for the bad environment and bad reputation, the income is not low. You value money and want to stay in the Heavenly Prison, I can understand. However, you are a martial arts expert after all, and the Heavenly Prison can't afford a person like you."

"I haven't even disliked the Heavenly Prison for being bad, but Master dislikes me." Chen Guanlou laughed, "If it weren't for me, the Great Ming Prince couldn't have lived to ascend the altar, and Master, you would have been stripped of your official uniform long ago."

"However, the Grand Tutor was lost under your nose."

"Wrong! It was lost under the nose of the Eastern Palace guards, and it has nothing to do with me." Chen Guanlou snorted coldly.

"However, His Majesty hopes to find the Grand Tutor." Sun Daoning was earth-shattering.

Chen Guanlou frowned, "He knows clearly that the Grand Tutor's grave grass is already one person high, where can he find him? Besides, what does finding someone have to do with my Heavenly Prison? Master must have made a mistake."

"His Majesty said, if he is alive, see the person; if he is dead, see the corpse."

"What does it have to do with me?" Chen Guanlou asked again.

Sun Daoning sighed, "This matter, His Majesty doesn't want to alarm others, and doesn't even want to alarm the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Once the Embroidered Uniform Guard moves, the court will be in the spotlight. His Majesty has just ascended the throne and doesn't want to activate the Embroidered Uniform Guard for the time being. Therefore, His Majesty privately ordered this official to secretly arrange for people to search for the Grand Tutor's whereabouts."

"So?"

"You help this official find the Grand Tutor, and this official will promise to transfer Prison Clerk Lei away, and from now on, the Heavenly Prison will not have a prison clerk. You will be the acting prison clerk, and the three great prisons of the Heavenly Prison will all be decided by you."

"I won't be a prison clerk." Chen Guanlou refused.

"It's just acting." Sun Daoning tempted him, "Don't you want to change the environment of the Heavenly Prison, don't you want to re-establish the order of the Heavenly Prison and let all prison guards follow the rules? As long as you are the acting prison clerk, you can handle these things legitimately, and the Yi-grade prison and Bing-grade prison will all listen to your orders. From now on, except for logistics, you will be the one in charge of the Heavenly Prison from top to bottom. Qian Cai will also be decided by you. How about that?"

Quite tempting.

Chen Guanlou was still silent, he was weighing it.

"With your ability, finding the Grand Tutor's whereabouts shouldn't be a difficult task. For this matter, you only need to be responsible to me. In addition, for Jiang Tu's side, some dirty things, if you don't want to do them, this official can order others to handle them."

"What dirty things?"

"Jiang Tu must explain some things; it won't work without torture." Sun Daoning said so, "This matter cannot be solved with money. In the court, those who hate Jiang Tu are like crucian carp crossing the river. If you don't give him some color to see, the court won't be convinced. To appease everyone's anger, Jiang Tu can't avoid going to the torture room a few times."

"A few times?" Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows; the war in the officialdom was indeed life-and-death, without any mercy.

Chen Guanlou smiled, "I won't participate in your tricks."

He was right not to enter the officialdom; with his temper, meeting an old schemer in the officialdom, he might kill someone if he couldn't hold back.

However, the officialdom absolutely does not allow anyone to kill privately to vent their anger. Everything must go through procedures, use officialdom means, and use the law to kill people.

Jiang Tu was so hated, yet no one wanted to hire a killer to assassinate him. Jiang Tu himself didn't hire a killer to assassinate an official. Everyone followed the game rules and used officialdom rules to kill each other. If they couldn't kill, they waited for others to retaliate.

Assassination, poisoning, and private killing to vent anger were absolutely prohibited. Whoever dared to destroy the game rules was going against the entire bureaucratic system and cutting themselves off from the officialdom.

"So, you handle the search for the Grand Tutor for me, how about that?"

Chen Guanlou thought for a while, "I want money."

"No problem."

"Jiang Tu's family property."

"Give you 10%."

"You said 50% before."

"That was then, this is now."

Damn, look at what is truly black-hearted and ruthless.

Chen Guanlou pulled a smile, "You find someone else, I won't earn this money." He got up and left, not staying.

Sun Daoning scolded, "Slow down. Asking for an exorbitant price and paying back the money, you don't do things like that. You are dissatisfied with my price, you can bargain. I am very happy to bargain with you. We will have to deal with each other a lot in the future, you leave if you don't agree, how do you want me to do things?" ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
