Chapter 701: Locked until death
No one could convince anyone.
The final result was that Chen Guanlou and Zhao Mingqiao parted on bad terms.
After Medical Official Mu learned about the situation, he laughed at Chen Guanlou for worrying blindly. "You are not suitable to be a prison warden. You spend all day catching people and instilling that set of rebellious remarks of yours. You should open a class, find like-minded people, establish a society, and play a role in the court."
"Bad, bad! I can't be a teacher."
"Hehe, you can't be one! Look at what Zhao Mingqiao has been taught into, and you still say you can't be one. Don't be humble."
"He was originally that kind of person; I don't need to teach him."
"If you didn't teach him, could he have made the Youth Society, could he have made such a big movement? Without your inspiration, he would be no different from other hot-blooded young people."
Chen Guanlou firmly refused to recognize this credit and firmly drew a line with the Youth Society.
"We just had a collision of thoughts and produced a little spark, that's all!"
Medical Official Mu laughed happily and listened to his nonsense.
Xie Changling didn't blow cowhide; he only used five days, and the Ministry of Justice issued an official document to release Zhao Mingqiao.
The eight thousand taels were worth it.
Although the asking price was a bit high, he could really handle things! And he could reach the sky.
"The Emperor has given a golden mouth and jade words to order your release. After you go out, focus on the Youth Society's affairs, be low-key, and don't show your head. The court is not peaceful right now, with the new replacing the old, and there must be people who are unwilling and want to counterattack."
Chen Guanlou rushed to the Heavenly Prison early in the morning, personally sending Zhao Mingqiao away from the Heavenly Prison. He even prepared a rich breakfast for him.
"Do you want me to be a mute and a deaf person, seeing unfair things, illegal things, and not making a sound."
"You can let the people below make a sound; there is no need to charge forward yourself."
Zhao Mingqiao looked troubled; he understood the principles, he was just afraid he couldn't do it. Seeing unfair and illegal things, if he didn't charge out, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
Chen Guanlou warned repeatedly: "No matter how uncomfortable you are, you have to endure it. If you don't want to go to the third palace, be honest."
The two had a quarrel and a debate last time, but it didn't affect the hesitation between the two. Chen Guanlou would still worry about the other party's future and career.
Zhao Mingqiao still listened to suggestions selectively, always wanting to take a trip himself and feel it before accepting it all.
After breakfast, waving his hand, he took a carriage and left the Heavenly Prison.
Chen Guanlou breathed a sigh of relief; he finally got out of prison.
Chen Guanlou ran to the B-block prison to patrol. After a period of time, the faces in the prison had changed again.
Old friend Zhu Ruhai was still locked in the big prison, and the day of his release was indefinitely far away. The Ministry of Justice was dragging his case; if they couldn't clean up the Earl's mansion, couldn't they clean up a mere Zhu Ruhai? They would drag the Earl's mansion into the water just by dragging.
Meeting an old friend, eyes are extra red.
Chen Guanlou asked the prison guard, "Is he honest?"
"Reporting to the master, the prisoner surnamed Zhu is quite honest. The money is also paid on time, without any arrears."
"Did you go out to get some air?"
"He went out less. Old Master Zhu's meaning is that he has been locked up for a long time and is afraid of seeing the sun."
Tsk!
Chen Guanlou sneered, walked to the cell door, "Old Master Zhu, eat well and drink well; if you have any needs, just mention them."
"So it's Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, long time no see. There is actually one thing I want to trouble you with: can you help me urge my case? The Ministry of Justice has been dragging it and not handling it, which is not very good."
Dragging a case for several years—the Ministry of Justice knows how to handle things. A blunt knife cutting meat—this idea is not bad.
Looking at Zhu Ruhai again, oh my, locked up for several years, yet he didn't lose much weight. This shows that the Heavenly Prison's food is good! As long as you pay enough money, it's fair and honest. Whether you are a murderer or a human trafficker, everyone has food and drink, and it's never harsh.
It seems that the people below are still very compliant and didn't mess around.
This point is especially good.
"The Ministry of Justice is very busy, with so many big cases, where can they take care of your small case? Prince Jin's case still has finishing work that hasn't been done yet. Now that both the north and south are fighting, every once in a while there are rebels sent to the capital to be executed. As for you, wait slowly. When they are not busy, it will definitely be your turn."
Chen Guanlou casually brushed him off without heart.
This kind of pest like Zhu Ruhai is suitable to be locked in the prison, locked until the end of time, locked until death! Don't let him out, continue to harm people.
The Zhu family lost Zhu Ruhai, this god of wealth, and human trafficking couldn't be done. Hundreds or thousands of children and women were spared from being abducted and sold.
The Ministry of Justice has immeasurable merit!
"Judging a case should be in the order of the case occurrence. My case is indeed small, but it cannot be dragged on indefinitely for no reason." Zhu Ruhai was very dissatisfied, but his expression was still calm, and his tone was also gentle. There was no sign of anger. Only his eyes showed a hint of resentment.
"Is it the Ministry of Justice deliberately dragging it?" Chen Guanlou sneered. "It's clearly that you refuse to plead guilty, so it can only be dragged."
"How to plead guilty? Words have no proof; how dare I plead guilty. My business is filed with the government, a legal business. Even if there were mistakes, it was because the people below didn't do things properly, and what does it have to do with me. I am innocent."
"Then you continue to be innocent." Chen Guanlou was too lazy to argue with the other party; human traffickers who dare to shout innocence must be locked until death. Don't judge this case anymore; just put it in the archives to eat dust.
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you seem to have great malice toward me; I dare to ask, why?"
Chen Guanlou smiled like a smile. "What do you think?"
"Just because of my business?"
"Is it okay if I don't like you?" Chen Guanlou smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, instead showing a cannibalistic malice.
Zhu Ruhai trembled, but still gathered his courage and said: "If I can provide news about other traffickers, can Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen let me go?"
"Can ensure you don't die!" But you will be locked in the Heavenly Prison.
The second half of the unspoken words was Chen Guanlou's true thought.
He would never let go of the trafficker in front of him just to catch other traffickers. This matter cannot be traded, it is impossible to trade. A trafficker is a trafficker; catch one and it's one. Catching one is immeasurable merit. If you let go, it is the evil of the world!
Zhu Ruhai took a deep breath. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen might as well consider it."
"No need to consider!"
"My news is very useful, absolutely beyond your expectations."
"You yourself have already exceeded my expectations." Chen Guanlou mocked. Is there a bigger fish than Zhu Ruhai? The clansmen of the Earl's mansion participated in human trafficking; this matter is quite explosive in any dynasty.
Regardless of whether it is legal or not.
Everyone has a scale in their heart; even if it is legal, in people's simple concepts, human trafficking is to be condemned by heaven and go to hell after death.
"No room for negotiation?" Zhu Ruhai tried to make a final struggle.
Chen Guanlou smiled. "Old Master Zhu, this cell is your final destination; you must know how to cherish it. Fortunately, the Ministry of Justice didn't let you go to the execution ground to be beheaded, which is giving enough face to the Earl's mansion." ===== CHAPTER 702 =====
