Chapter 620: He Deserves It

Chen Guanlou stared at the pretty boy and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Jin knew that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen was angry as soon as he saw it. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen looked down on men who bullied children and women the most.

The pretty boy's name was Liu Jinxing; his family had a small amount of assets and was from the same hometown as the Li family. His own sister married Minister Li's nephew and had been married for several years, with two sons and one daughter. Because of this reason, he had quite a bit of face. Even the Liu family became more and more prosperous.

Minister Li's nephew, named Li Ren, had limited talent and failed the metropolitan examination several times, so he simply begged his uncle, Minister Li, and sought the position of a county magistrate, taking his whole family to the local area to take office.

Did Li Ren really know nothing about Liu Jinxing being a local bully?

Heh!

Even if Li Ren knew, Minister Li would definitely protect this nephew and remove Li Ren from the situation. Otherwise, Li Ren's future would be gone, and the Li family's reputation would be ruined.

Chen Guanlou asked Xiao Jin: "Has his imperial degree been revoked?"

Xiao Jin flipped through the case file and said loudly: "Revoked! Although the Ministry of Justice hasn't passed a verdict yet, his crimes have basically been verified, and his imperial degree has already been revoked!"

"Since his imperial degree has been revoked, as a commoner, what qualifications does he have to be locked in the Grade-A prison? Someone, transfer this person to the Grade-C prison."

The prison guards received the order, opened the cell door, and dragged Liu Jinxing out.

Liu Jinxing was a bit dazed at first, but after reacting, he screamed, "What are you doing, what are you doing? I am Minister Li's relative; my sister has already taken care of all the relationships. If you dare to harm me, the Li family will definitely not let it go. I am not leaving; I am staying here. Where are you taking me... ah..."

"Block his mouth!" Chen Guanlou ordered, and the prison guard directly took out a rag that was even more foul-smelling than an old woman's foot-binding cloth, stuffed it directly into Liu Jinxing's mouth, and pushed it toward his throat.

Liu Jinxing retched repeatedly but couldn't spit it out, and he immediately wilted.

Learning that a prisoner was being transferred from the Grade-A prison to the Grade-C prison, this was the first time they had seen such a thing in so many years. The prison guards all poured out to watch the excitement, pointing at him.

Xu Fugui got the news and appeared in front of Chen Guanlou for the first time.

"What are your instructions, my lord?"

Chen Guanlou pointed at Liu Jinxing. "This person has already had his imperial degree revoked and is a commoner, so he is not suitable to be locked in the Grade-A prison. Now I make the decision to transfer him to the Grade-C prison and lock him up with other prisoners. Prison Clerk Xu, I trust you to handle things; this prisoner is handed over to you."

Xu Fugui was dazed for a moment, then laughed.

He didn't know why this prisoner named Liu Jinxing had offended Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. It was very clear that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen wanted to take this opportunity to teach this person a lesson. And what place was more suitable for teaching a prisoner a lesson than the Grade-C prison? Even if the prisoners in the Grade-C prison died, those above wouldn't ask.

He chuckled. "Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely watch this prisoner well. Someone, take this person down, lock him in cell number fifty-six, and take good care of him."

He emphasized the words "take good care."

The prison guards were sharp-eyed and sharp-hearted, dragging Liu Jinxing down to the Grade-C prison like a dead dog.

Cell number fifty-six held two extremely vicious criminals. When this pretty boy Liu Jinxing was thrown in and saw two black faces leaning over, he was scared almost to death. He should have regretted not fainting on the spot, because immediately after, he encountered something that made him a hundred times more hateful.

Chen Guanlou asked Mu Qingshan to go to the Ministry of Justice to inquire whether the Li family would protect Liu Jinxing?

Mu Qingshan went to the Ministry of Justice with silver and returned saying: "Li Ren's wife, that is Liu Jinxing's own sister, has been running around everywhere, sprinkling silver everywhere. The Li family's attitude is very firm; they have already cut ties with the Liu family. Judging by their attitude, if the Liu family is not sensible, Li Ren will divorce her."

Divorce!

This era is not like later generations; when men and women divorce, the woman always suffers.

The Liu family wants to save their brother Liu Jinxing; if she doesn't stop, Li Ren will divorce her under the family's requirements. Can the Liu family agree?

On one side is the son Liu Jinxing who carries on the family line, on the other side is the Liu family's ancestral property; of two evils, choose the lesser—I imagine the Liu family won't be able to persist for long.

This fellow Liu Jinxing is dead for sure!

Chen Guanlou chuckled. "Tell Prison Clerk Xu to let go and do it, don't have any scruples."

A person destined to be abandoned, why care!

Mu Qingshan accepted the order and left. He had seen the case file and believed from the bottom of his heart that Liu Jinxing deserved to die, wishing he could use all eighteen kinds of torture on the pretty boy to make him taste the feeling of being unable to live and unable to die.

Chen Guanlou pinched his chin; there were many young masters like Liu Jinxing in the local area who bullied others with power and committed evil deeds, and they were too many to count, but those people didn't fall into his hands, so naturally, he wouldn't be furious.

Since this fellow Liu Jinxing was locked in the Heavenly Prison, he didn't know it before, but since he knew it now, how could he let him go.

Two days passed.

He went down to the Grade-C prison and came to cell number fifty-six.

Liu Jinxing, who was perfectly fine before, had no complete skin left on his whole body except for his face.

"Did he go to the torture room?"

Xu Fugui laughed. "According to the rules, all prisoners who enter the Grade-C prison must go to the torture room." Unless Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen specifically cared, like that serial killer Tang Jiu before, who didn't go to the torture room to suffer punishment.

Chen Guanlou nodded, clearly very satisfied.

Xu Fugui grinned.

"My lord, do you want to give this guy the three-piece set again?"

"Stop for a few days, let him catch his breath, don't kill him all at once."

"This small one understands."

Chen Guanlou left the Grade-C prison leisurely, feeling very satisfied with Liu Jinxing's encounter.

The Liu family sent someone to try to bribe for Liu Jinxing. Learning that he was locked in the Grade-C prison and had been tortured, they were stunned for a moment. Clearly, they had given silver and clearly he was locked in the Grade-A prison; why did the Heavenly Prison take the money and go back on its word?

Didn't they say they take money to get things done and never cheat anyone?

"Grade-A prison holds criminal officials, or prisoners with imperial degrees, or imperial relatives. Liu Jinxing is neither an official nor has an imperial degree; as a mere commoner, naturally, he has no qualifications to be locked in the Grade-A prison. Transferring him to the Grade-C prison is the rule, and there is nothing inappropriate about it. As for the torture, that is the consistent rule of the Grade-C prison. The Heavenly Prison acts according to the rules; how can you Liu family question it?"

"Money? What money? That is the quota! Even imperial relatives have to pay the quota; what qualifications does Liu Jinxing have to be an exception? Get out, get out, if you don't get out, I will arrest you and lock you in the grand prison, and give you twenty lashes first." ===== CHAPTER 621 =====

Isn't it said that you take money to get things done, and that you treat the young and old with equal honesty?

"The cells in the Jia-type block house only convicted officials, prisoners with official titles, or imperial relatives. Liu Jinxing is neither an official nor does he hold any title; as a mere commoner, he naturally has no qualifications to be held in the Jia-type block. Transferring him to the Bing-type block is according to the rules, and there is nothing improper about it. As for the corporal punishment, that is a standard rule that has always existed in the Bing-type block. The Heavenly Prison operates according to the rules; how can your Liu family be allowed to criticize it?"

"Money? What money? That is the standard quota! Even imperial relatives must pay the quota; what qualifications does Liu Jinxing have to be an exception? Get out, get out, get out! If you don't leave now, I'll have you arrested and thrown into the prison, starting with twenty lashes."
