Chapter 519: Coveting His Body
"Five hundred taels is definitely too much."
Qian Fugui is in charge of money and is particularly sensitive to money.
"A mere coroner, the Ministry of Justice's coroner is also a coroner, how can they have the face to ask for five hundred taels to negotiate. If they dare to open this price, I dare to slap the other party's face. Giving them fifty taels is already giving them face."
Is the Ministry of Justice's coroner so worthless?
Chen Guanlou was a bit half-believing and half-doubting.
Medical Official Mu was also a novice who didn't understand the market situation. "Fifty taels, will it be too little?"
These two people have the fate of wealth and don't know how great the value of fifty taels is in the market and how strong the purchasing power is.
"Does Medical Official Mu know how much money it takes to bribe a coroner in the county government below?"
"How much?"
"One tael of silver is enough, and even five coins of silver is considered generous. The status of the Ministry of Justice is a cut higher, so bribing the Ministry of Justice's coroner, two or three taels is enough, and five taels of silver is already extremely generous. This time, because we are asking for help, a ten-fold premium, giving fifty taels, can be called extremely decent. If someone thinks it's too little, it must be that they don't want face, or they don't intend to cooperate with our Heavenly Prison and have other ideas."
"This this this... is it so cheap?" Medical Official Mu was a bit unbelievable, looking at Chen Guanlou, hoping that the other party would make the decision.
Chen Guanlou gave a hum. "Listen to Fugui on this matter. He knows the business better than us. We subconsciously substitute ourselves as the coroner, thinking that it can't be done without five hundred taels. It's purely a blindfold, self-righteous, not understanding the market situation, purely driving up prices. In my life, I hate people who drive up prices the most. Fugui, this matter is handed over to you to handle, must be handled properly. Jiang Tu's death must be confirmed as dying from serious injuries without treatment, I don't want any complications. Do you understand?"
"Small one understands. Small one will go find someone to contact the Ministry of Justice's coroner. Jiang Tu is a big figure, he died, the Ministry of Justice will definitely arrange the most experienced coroner to examine the body."
"Your thinking is not wrong. But you can't ignore the second and third coroners, what if someone above has a hot head and doesn't use the most experienced one, but insists on using the second most experienced one, temporary bribing might be too late to operate."
"I understand the Official's meaning, cast a wide net to catch fish."
"That's the logic."
Qian Fugui took the errand and resigned.
Medical Official Mu drank a sip of tea and woke up. "Can it work?"
Chen Guanlou laughed, this time it was his turn to give Medical Official Mu a lesson.
He said, "Whether it works or not, you will know after trying. Everything can't just rely on the mouth to say, you must do it, and only after doing it will you know where there are mistakes and how to improve.
Why do people say that scholars' empty talk misleads the country, it's because scholars only rely on a mouth to chatter, fooling people who don't understand, but have never practiced it, they themselves can't grasp whether what they say can work, and how many mistakes there will be.
If someone really follows what they say, and it involves thousands of people, tell me, once a mistake is made, how serious the consequences will be.
Do scholars bear the consequences? They don't. After the scholars chatter, they pat their butts and leave. If you ask them afterward, why what you said is wrong. The scholar just says one sentence: I just said it, I didn't tell you to do it. If you do it wrong, what does it have to do with me. Tell me, is this scholar annoying?"
"You might as well point to the old man's name and curse, why point at the mulberry and curse the locust, it's redundant."
Medical Official Mu snorted coldly, particularly disgusted.
Chen Guanlou laughed out loud. "Old Mu, look at you, you have committed the scholar's narrow-mindedness again, unable to tolerate others saying a word of no. Am I cursing you, if I curse you, do I need to point at the mulberry and curse the locust? You, you, the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman."
"If you are a gentleman, the old man will swallow poison now and end this life."
"Not to that extent, not to that extent. Although I am not a gentleman, I count as a true villain. I am sincere with you, and you don't have to look at me with displeasure. Anyway, this face of mine has been verified by the sisters in the brothel, they pay to come to me, they just covet this face of mine."
"Is that just coveting your face? It's clearly coveting your body."
"Makes sense!"
Chen Guanlou was happy, Old Mu is still good, Old Mu knows goods. Knows that his body is more popular than his face.
Jiang Tu, such a big figure, died, and for a time, people from all walks of life came.
As soon as the sky was bright, the neighboring Brocade Uniform Guard held an official document and was the first to come to the Heavenly Prison to check.
Chen Guanlou greeted him personally.
The Brocade Uniform Guard had learned a lesson, knowing to hold an official document, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to see Jiang Tu's body at all.
Chen Guanlou ordered the prison guards to take the Brocade Uniform Guard to the morgue. The coroner didn't have to go.
"The Heavenly Prison is only responsible to the Ministry of Justice. The Brocade Uniform Guard arranging a coroner to examine the body, there is no such reason, and there is no such rule. You do things this way, it is clearly questioning the authority of the Ministry of Justice. You can check the identity of the body, but you cannot examine the body."
He stood under the eaves, with his hands behind his back, in a posture of official business and equal status between brother units. Can't because he is just a small clerk, he has to be low and small. Ask, who dares to let a martial arts expert be low and small.
"Jiang Tu deserves to die. It's just that everything was fine before, but he died suddenly at this time, which is really surprising. Please, Prison Clerk Chen, make it convenient, just let the coroner take a look, at least to have a number in mind."
Chen Guanlou sneered. "Whether you Brocade Uniform Guards have a number in mind has nothing to do with our Heavenly Prison. The two families are brother units, without the order from the palace, the Brocade Uniform Guard cannot ride on the Heavenly Prison to make a fortune, right. I give you face, let you see Jiang Tu's body. You should also give me face, don't break the rules. Otherwise, everyone's face will not look good."
"Prison Clerk Chen insists on not letting the coroner examine the body, could it be that Jiang Tu's death has a trick?"
Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who spoke, the face was very raw, and he hadn't seen it before.
He laughed lightly. "I take the coroner to your Brocade Uniform Guard to examine the body, your Brocade Uniform Guard refuses, does it also mean you are guilty? Rules are rules, stop talking about groundless things. If you are not convinced, go to the palace to ask for an order, or go to the Ministry of Justice to ask for an official document. As long as the Ministry of Justice issues an official document, check it at will. Ten or eight coroners, examine the body together, absolutely will not stop."
His attitude was tough and righteous, and he couldn't see any guilt at all.
He considered that he didn't do anything wrong, why should he be guilty. Anyone who feels guilty must be because they also believe in their heart that they did something wrong.
"We understand Prison Clerk Chen's meaning. Fine, don't bring the coroner."
The leading Brocade Uniform Guard stopped the chattering of the people around him, followed the rules of the Heavenly Prison, and followed the prison guard to the morgue.
Before last night, the Heavenly Prison's morgue was still empty. This morning, good guy, the morgue was full, piled up, and the smell was so great that people didn't dare to approach.
The Brocade Uniform Guard covered his mouth and nose, not daring to step into the morgue. "Why are there so many bodies? It's not summer yet, is your Heavenly Prison crazy with poverty, killing so many people in one breath." ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
