~8 min read 1,594 words

Chen Guanlou called a prison guard to lead the Shen family father and son to the medical clinic to settle down.

He kept Physician Mu and gave the other party a one-hundred-tael silver note.

"What for?"

"You provide people, effort, and space; you can't still be asked to pay money. This one hundred taels is the medical fee for the child Shen Yi. If it's not enough, come to me again."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you are not a soft-hearted and charitable person; why have you changed today?"

Chen Guanlou pinched his chin and chuckled, "With too much money, I have to find a way to spend it. Just treat it as doing charity and accumulating merit for myself."

"If you have too much money to spend, give it to the old man; the old man knows how to spend money. The old man is very good at spending money. Just right, I took a fancy to a hundred-year-old ginseng, but it's a pity that I am short of money and can't take it down. Why don't you support me a little."

"No!"

"Tsk..."

Physician Mu was very disdainful.

Chen Guanlou snorted, "I have too much money to spend, but I can't spend it indiscriminately. That child Shen Yi is sensible, I find him agreeable, and I am willing to help. As for you, you haven't earned less over the years; a mere hundred-year-old ginseng, you are still short of money; who would believe it if it were said out."

"Meaning, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen finds the old man unpleasant, not agreeable, so you are unwilling to support?"

"Old vegetable helper, only a ghost would find you agreeable." Chen Guanlou raised his hand and waved it disdainfully.

Physician Mu was so angry he blew his beard and stared; judging people by their appearance, it was definitely judging people by their appearance. It was too bullying!

Thinking about it, he asked curiously: "How much money did you embezzle, that you have so much money you can't spend it?"

"Fart! Food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately. Did I embezzle? Did I embezzle? Since I took office, hasn't everyone's income increased a bit?"

"Then how can you have so much money you can't spend it?"

Chen Guanlou smiled proudly, "I accepted a commission some time ago to help people deal with some troublesome things. People thanked me and gave me a generous reward."

"Generous enough to not be able to spend it?"

That must be a lot of money! How big of a troublesome thing would it be to pay such a high reward.

"It's not that I can't spend it. I am a poor person who suddenly got rich, and I haven't thought about how to spend money specifically for the time being. Once I think about it, that little money will be like flowing water, disappearing in the blink of an eye."

"If you want to spend the money, it's simple! Buy houses and land. However, the good land around the capital has been occupied by others, and you can't buy it even if you have money. You can only go to the south to look for it. You can take a few more concubines, and arrange seven or eight maids and old women to serve beside each concubine. Then raise a group of guards, stewards, and servants... A mansion with a hundred people, if you are generous with money, it will cost at least a few thousand taels a year, and up to ten thousand taels. If there are one or two favored women, spending money is truly like flowing water. No matter how much family property you have, you can't withstand such expenses. Once money is tight, you have to find a way to make money. By then, you won't say such hateful words as having too much money to spend."

"Sure enough, raising women costs money!" Chen Guanlou was very emotional.

Physician Mu just said it casually, look, he has to raise a hundred people. A mansion, with only one proper master, but needs a hundred people to serve.

Even a local tycoon would have to say: I've gained knowledge!

"Nonsense! If a delicate little lady follows you, can you bear to let her wash clothes and cook, hurting her hands and face? You must buy seven or eight maids to serve her well. With maids, there must be old women. With female family members, there must be guards and stewards..."

Chen Guanlou hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

These words cannot be listened to.

The more he listened, the more panicked he became!

He was happy that he got rich a few days ago.

In the blink of an eye, he was planned by Old Mu, and that little money wasn't enough to raise women.

Sure enough, a bachelor is the most money-saving; one person is full, the whole family is not hungry.

He is immortal, get married, leave descendants, fart. He won't die, the Chen family won't break its roots. He also doesn't need descendants to burn incense and worship him.

"Do you still say you have too much money to spend now?" Physician Mu looked at him, chuckling.

Chen Guanlou wiped his face, "You are amazing, old man. I will never say such hateful words again."

"That's right! This one hundred taels, the old man accepts. The old man won't be polite with you; if this one hundred taels is not enough for the Shen family father and son's expenses, the old man will definitely come to you to ask for it. Don't say I'm troublesome then."

"Is the child Shen Yi's illness difficult to cure?"

"Difficult, it must be difficult. But if you meet the old man, no matter how difficult it is to cure, it can be cured. However, the child's condition has been delayed for too long; it won't be cured in half a year or a year."

"Then you treat it slowly. Don't worry about money; it definitely won't let you pay for the medical treatment. Look at Shen Buzhi, what is his background?"

Physician Mu stroked his beard, "Xizhou, since ancient times, has been a place of exile. Shen Buzhi is clearly a scholar, and he doesn't seem to be unfamiliar with the capital. I'm afraid..."

The two dipped their tea and wrote a word on the table together.

Physician Mu wrote: Exile!

Chen Guanlou also wrote: Exile!

"He actually dared to bring his child to the capital; he is really not afraid!"

"I guess the one who committed the crime should be his elder."

Chen Guanlou nodded, "It should be so."

Since it is an elder, and it has been so many years, sneaking into the capital, as long as they are not caught by the government, the danger is not great. And the household registration documents of this pair of father and son are fine, clearly they are doing well in Xizhou, with people from the government helping. The luck of this pair of father and son is considered good, locked in the Heavenly Prison, and met Chen Guanlou.

One of Chen Guanlou's principles of doing things: don't overstep boundaries.

Whether you are an exiled prisoner or a murderer, as long as you haven't committed a crime in his hands, he usually turns a blind eye and doesn't care!

He only manages prisoners, doesn't investigate cases, and is not responsible for reporting.

He is a good citizen, not a three-good citizen!

The Grand Court of Justice learned that the Heavenly Prison, without permission, registered and released the ordinary people who were arrested, and suddenly became angry. They issued official documents repeatedly, questioning what the Ministry of Justice meant?

It was almost pointing at the nose of the Ministry of Justice and cursing: You ruined the good deeds of our Grand Court of Justice, can your Ministry of Justice afford the responsibility?

Sun Daoning laughed angrily!

It really let Chen Guanlou say it right; the Grand Court of Justice really treats itself as the boss of the three judicial offices. Look at this questioning tone, it treats the Ministry of Justice as a grandson.

This breath, no matter what, cannot be swallowed.

Sun Daoning asked people to reply to the Grand Court of Justice's official document, directly cursing the mother in the official document, not giving any face at all, which is equivalent to tearing his face.

Immediately after, he impeached this minister and that minister of the Grand Court of Justice, one by one, not letting any of them go.

As the saying goes, if a general is incompetent, he will tire the three armies to death.

The Grand Court of Justice handled the case poorly; if they don't have that ability, don't take on that porcelain work. Investigating cases, it still has to be the Ministry of Justice. This is the Ministry of Justice's specialty. The Grand Court of Justice should still stare at the officialdom; they are only worthy of mixing in the officialdom. Folk cases, hehe, and serial cases, taking the methods of investigating officialdom cases to handle folk cases, it's strange if they can go smoothly.

Two yamen fighting in the ring, and it was Sun Daoning who took the initiative to provoke this fight, which shocked the people in the court, strange!

Sun Daoning, who has always been as steady as an old dog, actually has a fiery temper, rare, too rare.

The old saying is not wrong, even a clay figurine has three points of fire. ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
