Chapter 712: The richest man has plenty of silver
It was also a coincidence.
Because Prince Cheng rebelled, a large number of officials were imprisoned, and Chen Guanlou ran to the Ministry of Justice quite diligently.
He ran to the Ministry of Justice, only going to Sun Daoning's office, so he could naturally access the top-level and most core data. Seeing the prisoner list, Old Gong was also on it, and confirming he hadn't recognized the wrong person, he had to help an old acquaintance.
So he mentioned it to Sun Daoning, letting Official Gong continue to live in the Heavenly Prison, anyway, he was familiar with the road. He wasn't sent to the Imperial Prison or the Dali Temple. Those two places were not places for people to stay.
Those guys at the Dali Temple were more vicious to their own people than to their enemies. They wished they could die every day to vacate positions.
The Imperial Prison is even more perverted; once you enter, regardless of whether you are guilty or not, you must go to the torture chamber to be punished. Whether you can survive depends entirely on your fate! On your "money power"! On whether your connections are in place! In a word, even if everything is in place, you still have to take a trip to the torture chamber. If it's not in place, you'll just have to take a few more trips. The mortality rate is super high! Its reputation stinks to high heaven, and it's all well-deserved.
Only the Heavenly Prison had humanized management. As long as the money was in place, whether the relationship was in place and whether life was hard didn't matter. Everything was done according to the rules, and nothing extra was done.
Entering the Heavenly Prison was like entering a training course; the accuracy of this statement was getting higher and higher.
Official Gong was also very moved; a few years passed, and the former squad leader had transformed into someone who could decide the stay or go of a criminal official.
If it weren't for Chen Guanlou's words, he might have gone to the Imperial Prison next door. At his age, entering the Imperial Prison, how could he have a life?
Chen Guanlou had the grace of saving his life!
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is righteous, I am endlessly grateful."
"Just saying gratitude with your mouth won't work. Official Gong, you know the rules of the Heavenly Prison. To express gratitude, there must be a substantial expression."
"Rest assured, my nephew is rushing to the capital. Once he arrives, the required silver will be offered in full."
"That's fine. Once your nephew arrives, I will arrange for someone to exchange. Is your nephew's business doing well?"
"Thanks to you, I've earned some money in the past few years, barely enough to support my family."
"You are humble."
Official Gong was a southerner, and his family was considered a small wealthy family in the local area, better than the top but worse than the bottom. It hadn't reached the point of covering the sky with one hand, and the local parents and officials still had to give some face.
Official Gong ran to the north to be an official, which was a last resort. He was able to leave prison and rise again, which was already a fluke, and he didn't dare to ask for more. He thought that because of natural and man-made disasters in the north, the population was small, and it was a lower-class state, the tax task was very light, and the assessment was loose, so this official should be very easy to be.
The facts were also like this.
He never expected that Prince Cheng would rebel. Emperor Emperor Jian Shi was furious, and all these officials were thrown into prison, and none of them escaped.
The reason was only one: before Prince Cheng rebelled, why didn't he hear any wind? Why didn't a single official report Prince Cheng's rebellious intentions? So much so that the imperial court was caught off guard, and there was no preparation at all. Both face and lining were gone.
Embarrassing!
Losing face!
The Emperor was slapped in the face, so how could the officials below have a good time?
Let's all go to prison and get our butts beaten.
"Is Official Gong going to run relationships this time? Do you need me to help you run errands?"
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is very busy lately!" Official Gong teased.
Chen Guanlou waved his hands repeatedly. "Don't laugh at me, I just earn some errand fees, and the big heads are all earned by the officials. You know, here with me, it's clearly marked, and there is no deception. I also have to share with the people below. The prison guards are also hard-working, I eat meat and they drink soup, so they have enthusiasm for their work. Don't you think?"
"Being able to think of the people below at any time, not eating alone, can be called rare. No wonder Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can manage the Heavenly Prison like an iron bucket." Official Gong said sincerely.
Chen Guanlou slapped his own face. "Official Gong, you are not being kind. You are laughing at me, right? Who doesn't know that the Heavenly Prison is like a sieve, and anyone can mix sand into it. You say the Heavenly Prison is like an iron bucket; don't say this next time, it will make people laugh."
Official Gong laughed. "Whether it's a sieve or an iron bucket, everyone has an account in their heart. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't be humble. The changes in the Heavenly Prison, everyone sees in their eyes. The last time I lived in the Heavenly Prison, the environment wasn't as good as it is now. The Heavenly Prison is still that Heavenly Prison, but now it is clean, tidy, and orderly, and the prisoners are also very calm. This is all your credit."
"The credit of everyone working together. Official Gong, don't think that by giving me a high hat, I will give you a discount; that's impossible."
Chen Guanlou was righteous, indicating that there was no room for negotiation on the money matter.
Official Gong laughed out loud.
He leaned close to the cell door. "Although I can't give Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen a big business, I can introduce a big business to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."
Oh?
Chen Guanlou was very curious. "Tell me, what kind of big business."
"In the Northwest, it is truly a treasure land. The Magistrate of Baoping Prefecture, Magistrate Gu, do you know who his father-in-law is?"
"Who?"
"Magistrate Gu is a young talent, young and romantic. His father-in-law is the richest man in a certain place in the south of the Yangtze River. You didn't hear wrong, it is the richest man! Where this person is specifically locked up, I don't know. If Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has a way to get this person locked in the Heavenly Prison, with the strength of his richest father-in-law, do you say this counts as a big business?"
When Chen Guanlou heard the richest man, a string of numbers flashed in his mind instantly. The richest man could no longer be measured by simple money.
The richest man, eating this one, wouldn't it be equivalent to opening for three years?
"Thank you, Official Gong, for providing the news. I accept your favor. Once your nephew arrives, everything is easy to discuss."
After the two reached a tacit understanding, Chen Guanlou rushed out of the Heavenly Prison, flipped through the prisoner list, and didn't find the surname Gu, so he wasn't locked in the Heavenly Prison.
He asked Mu Qingshan to inquire about which cell the surname Gu was locked in.
"Better not be the Imperial Prison."
Getting people out of the Imperial Prison was very troublesome.
He really didn't want to deal with those people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Mu Qingshan ran to the Ministry of Justice, exerted the thick-skinned spirit learned from the Heavenly Prison, and finally found out where the surname Gu was locked. It was really said by Chen Guanlou's crow's mouth.
"My lord, you should say less in the future. It's always good things are not spiritual, bad things are spiritual. People are locked in the Imperial Prison next door, what should we do?"
"Cold mix!" Chen Guanlou was also full of anger, patted his broken mouth twice, it was really a crow's mouth.
He was also full of anger.
Why was it locked in the Imperial Prison?
If it were locked in the Dali Temple, he would have the confidence to find Sun Daoning to exchange, and think of a way to get people to the Heavenly Prison. Anyway, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, two yamen, often had various shady transactions.
As for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there was really none. They had always been well water not offending river water. The Ministry of Justice saw the Embroidered Uniform Guard and avoided them, fearing to be tainted with bad luck.
He sighed!
But thinking of the richest man, thinking of the sound of clattering silver, he had motivation again.
"Go, let Qian Fugui inquire about the situation of the richest man's family, and whether there is anyone in the capital. If there is, ask them if they want to get their son-in-law out of the Imperial Prison and lock him in the Heavenly Prison. If they want to, prepare enough silver."
"And then?" Mu Qingshan was very curious about how to get people out.
"Then send a post to Xiao Jincheng, I want to drink and have fun with him!" ===== CHAPTER 713 =====
