Chapter 626: Going to the Heavenly Prison for further studies again

~8 min read 1,573 words

Learning that He Cheng and Li Ren had a falling out, Chen Guanlou actually thought a little higher of He Cheng. He instructed the prison guards below to take good care of him, follow the rules, and not make things difficult for him.

As for this kid Li Ren, he really is indescribable. For the sake of money, he won't make things difficult for him either. However, if there is no money in the account one day, don't blame him for cleaning people up according to the rules.

The Li family definitely lost the first wave. Whether they will continue to lose, and whether the officials of the Li family line will continue to be locked in the Heavenly Prison, let's watch the show slowly.

Having free time today, he ran to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Daoning for tea, and by the way, to ask for money.

The gambling house case had long been closed.

The final result was that the gambling house spat out a sum of money to buy peace.

It was agreed that he had a share of the money in this case, but as a result, he hadn't seen a single copper coin until now.

He doesn't covet other people's money, but his own money cannot be embezzled by others. Therefore, he came to find Sun Daoning to have a good chat; whether the money will be given, and when it will be given, there must be an accurate statement. It cannot be delayed forever.

More than half of the fiftieth year of Taixing has passed, and in a few months, it will be the first year of Emperor Jian Shi. If this year's money is not settled within this year, it will become bad debt and stagnant debt next year, dragging on for ten or eight years, and finally, it will be left unsettled.

Government offices often do this kind of thing.

Those who manage money are all bold. No matter how great your official prestige is, or how high your martial arts cultivation is, they will card your money. If they don't card money, they aren't qualified accountants.

They even dare to card the Emperor's money; there is no one in the world they dare not offend.

Money is a person's courage!

Although the accountant only temporarily keeps that money, it is enough to embolden them.

He won't pull with the accountant who manages money; it won't be clear. The accountant always has reasons; no one can argue clearly with the accountant, don't let it become unreasonable in the end.

He just pulls with the big boss Sun Daoning; once Sun Daoning is settled, he will have money.

Sun Daoning doesn't want to see him from the bottom of his heart; seeing him makes him sigh and feel irritable. Learning that he came to ask for money, it was no surprise that he started complaining and crying poor as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You also know that the Ministry of Justice is particularly difficult this year, and the Ministry of Revenue has been dragging on and not giving this year's money and grain in order to check the accounts. In front of the Emperor, I have fought many lawsuits with the Ministry of Revenue, but it has not been resolved yet."

"Old Sun, are you actually capable or not? Before, seeing you point your sword at Zheng Daochong, I thought you were capable. In the end, it was left unsettled again. How can you go on like this?"

"Do you think I am willing? It's just because the Emperor insists on protecting Zheng Daochong and refuses to move him no matter what. What can I do? I can only settle for the next best thing."

"I don't care how difficult you are; when will you give me my share of the money?"

"It's not that I won't give it, but the Ministry of Justice has high expenses. That sum of money was just credited to the account and was misappropriated. Now the accountant has no money, and I am a clever woman who cannot cook without rice."

Shameless, oh shameless!

Chen Guanlou's mouth twitched; he was very curious about how Sun Daoning could say such shameless words so grandiosely and righteously.

Misappropriated?!

Is that misappropriation?

Without Sun Daoning's nod, who below would dare to misappropriate it.

Hehe!

What a misappropriation.

Misappropriating money to pay themselves bonuses, high-temperature bonuses, case-solving bonuses, sprinkling all kinds of money out.

He even heard in the Heavenly Prison that during this period, the Ministry of Justice was full of joy, everyone was like it was the New Year, and they had made a fortune.

The gambling house lost money, and the Ministry of Justice ate its fill.

The neighboring government office was almost drooling with envy!

"Old Sun, do you think I'm stupid! I don't care how many difficulties you have; you must give me my money."

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you; it's just that the accountant has no money, so let's slow down for a while."

"Can't slow down. Don't think I don't know your tricks. Hurry up, approve the slip, and I'll go to the accountant to ask for money."

Sun Daoning leaned back on his chair and spread his hands, making it clear that this slip could not be approved.

Chen Guanlou slapped the table.

It's a pity he didn't use force.

Just like that, the desk that could be sold as an antique was dented on the surface, and the shape was a palm print.

Sun Daoning's heart almost stopped for a second. He said expressionlessly, "Prison Warden Chen, where did your rules go? This is the Ministry of Justice, not the Heavenly Prison, and not a place for you to run wild."

"I want money!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll give you money. But not today, let's slow down for a while. Don't worry, when the accountant has money, I will think of you first, and I guarantee you will be able to get the money."

"When exactly will I be able to get the money?"

"At the end of this year," Sun Daoning said casually, not paying any attention.

Chen Guanlou:...

A dignified ninth-rank martial artist also has a day when his wages are in arrears. He couldn't get his salary, and he lost all his face.

If this place wasn't a government office, and if he didn't care, he would have let the Ministry of Justice see the anger of a ninth-rank martial artist no matter what.

These days, those who owe money are the masters.

It's just that he is too moral and doesn't lack that little money to buy rice for the pot.

The key is that he still quite likes this job in the Heavenly Prison, having fun to watch every three days. Leaving the Heavenly Prison, he really doesn't know where to find so much fun to pass the time.

"I can't go back empty-handed today. You approve a slip first, and I'll collect the grain and grass for the first half of the year."

Sun Daoning:...

"Let's say it first, your money can only be paid in the twelfth lunar month. Don't come to me during this period."

"Of course I'll come to you if there's something."

"What could there be between you and me?"

"There are plenty of things. Approve the slip first, and the half-year grain and grass must be made up."

"No half-year, only one quarter."

"Old Sun, have some face. I've already conceded; don't push your luck and force me to turn against you!" Chen Guanlou said unceremoniously.

Sun Daoning looked at the palm print on the table and only felt a headache.

In the entire Ministry of Justice, with hundreds of people, there is no one like Chen Guanlou who dares to threaten him to his face.

He endured it and thought that this thief was indeed here to restrain him.

If he had known it was such a temper, he should have stayed away from the thief surnamed Chen, and he wouldn't have let him climb onto his nose and face today.

He took a deep breath, "I saw Yu Xiang yesterday, and he even asked about you."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly; this topic was shifted too stiffly.

However, he still gave face, "Yu Xiang actually still remembers me? Is he missing the days of enlightenment in the Heavenly Prison? Could it be that he wants to go to the Heavenly Prison for further studies again!"

"Nonsense!" Sun Daoning laughed angrily, and by the way, imagined the appearance of Yu Zhaoan entering the palace for the second time, laughing even louder.

"Yu Xiang is good at guessing the Emperor's heart and has plans. You expect him to enter the palace for the second time; don't even think about it within five or eight years."

"Listening to this tone, Old Sun, are you also hoping for Yu Xiang to enter the palace for the second time?" Chen Guanlou was like a cat that smelled fishy, inquiring curiously, his eyes full of thoughts of digging up gossip.

The two of them were actually at odds; hey, he knew another little secret of officialdom.

Sun Daoning was a little embarrassed and tried his best to deny it, "Nonsense! I admire Yu Xiang extremely, and I respect him extremely. Don't sow discord!" ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
