Chapter 740: The Heavenly Prison collapsed

~8 min read 1,501 words

Sun Daoning felt his head going bald!

The more things are said, the more complicated they become!

Everything is going wrong at the beginning of the year; could it mean that the fourth year of Jian Shi is a bad year. He began to ponder that when he had time off, he would go to the temple to burn incense, worship the Bodhisattva, and pray for everything to go smoothly.

Then ask the Imperial Observatory to pick a day and organize everyone in the Ministry of Justice to worship the ancestors together.

The Heavenly Prison and the Six Shanmen Sect cannot be exceptions; they all have to worship.

"You come from a big family and are a native of the capital. I imagine you should see through certain things more thoroughly than this official. The Nanshan Marquis is handed over to you to be responsible for; don't let him really die."

Sun Daoning ordered.

"Old Sun, don't overestimate me. It's true that I come from a big family and am a native. But I don't know more than ordinary people. I'm only responsible for guarding prisoners; other things are just guesses, you can just listen to them. In short, in case things are different from what we guessed, don't blame me."

"If it really is like that, I won't blame you, only blame this official for lacking insight and not being able to guess His Majesty's mind."

"With your words, I can rest assured. Old Sun, you will definitely pass this hurdle smoothly."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the office officially opened!

According to the requirements of the Ministry of Justice, Chen Guanlou organized everyone in the Heavenly Prison, not one missing, unless they were so sick they couldn't get out of bed, otherwise everyone must attend, worship heaven, worship ancestors, and pray for everything to go smoothly this year!

He took the lead, three sticks of incense thicker than a thumb, lit, inserted into the incense burner, kowtowed, and the ceremony was completed!

Afterward, there was another admonition.

This group of prison guards are all cheap-skinned; the same words must be reminded repeatedly, and they must be taught earnestly. Otherwise, they will return to their old ways in two or three months.

Emphasize the rules again, emphasize the manual, emphasize cherishing the job position. In this day and age, it's hard for people without culture to find a job with high income and eating public food! Don't be ungrateful all day long.

Admonition finished, dismiss!

Today he is going to accompany his eldest sister and three nephews to the temple fair and worship the Bodhisattva. He rushed out of the Heavenly Prison, picked up his eldest sister and the children, and set off.

"Why didn't brother-in-law come with you."

"The tea house business is busy, he can't leave, someone must watch it. To avoid people below messing around."

"Didn't you hire a shopkeeper? With a shopkeeper there, are you still afraid of people below messing around."

"The shopkeeper is an outsider after all; it's better to have your own people watching to be at ease."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue, completely disagreeing. Typical small boss, husband-and-wife shop mentality. Forget it, he's too lazy to say anything. As long as his eldest sister has enough food and clothing and lives a prosperous life, that's fine. If he really let his eldest sister's family live a life of great wealth, it might instead cause many incidents and make things chaotic.

The eldest niece Yaya, whose name is Su Rongrong, has grown into a half-grown girl after a few years, graceful and very delicate.

The two little nephews are both mischievous masters.

When dealing with boys, Chen Guanlou doesn't indulge them. If they cry and make trouble, he hits them, hits them in front of his eldest sister, without any scruples.

Eldest sister Chen Xiaolan didn't stop him either. "You are their biological uncle, you should strictly discipline them. These two boys have been spoiled by their grandmother and are lawless. You should take more care of them in the future and discipline them. They obey your discipline."

"If they don't listen, beat them! Boys have thick skin and flesh, even if they leave scars, it doesn't matter. Girls are different; Rongrong should be pampered. Eldest sister, don't be too restrictive with Rongrong; she's already good enough."

"Girls should be quiet. Besides, there are many bad people outside, and human traffickers are rampant. Without adults accompanying them, how dare I let her go out alone."

"Are human traffickers rampant in the capital? The Wucheng Military and Horse Division and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are not eating for free."

"I'm just saying, don't be serious."

Human traffickers in the capital are generally more restrained. Especially that year when the 'Nameless Hero' cleaned up the young master of the Hu family, and then wiped out the Hu family, this matter spread throughout the circle of kidnappers, and the kidnappers all understood the truth of avoiding harm, consciously marking the capital as a forbidden area, not daring to mess around in the capital.

Because of this, human trafficking in the capital has decreased a lot over the years.

Plus, these years have not been peaceful, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division have patrolled the city very strictly, preferring to catch the wrong one rather than let one go, which is also one of the reasons why kidnappers dare not operate in the capital.

The sister and brother took three children to eat, drink, and buy at the temple fair. Chen Xiaolan couldn't stop Chen Guanlou from spending money, so she simply stopped asking.

Satisfied!

The three nephews are all very satisfied!

Although uncle is strict in his mouth, he is also the best, the most generous, and the most willing to spend money. Whatever they fancy, as long as they look at it a few more times, they don't even need to open their mouths, and uncle will buy it.

Uncle is the best uncle in the world!

Just as it was getting dark, the family continued to stroll; there was a lantern show at night, and Lu Datou brought two prison guards to find them.

"Brother, it's not good!"

"It's New Year, pay attention to me, speak properly. What's not good!" Chen Guanlou glared, you bastard, ruining the mood.

"Brother, something happened! The Heavenly Prison collapsed!" Lu Datou lowered his voice and leaned to Chen Guanlou's ear to say.

What the hell?

Chen Guanlou was a bit confused.

"Speak clearly, what do you mean the Heavenly Prison collapsed."

Is it the meaning he understands? Could it be that those above are going crazy again.

"Brother, I mean the Heavenly Prison collapsed. The roof of the Bing-grade prison collapsed! Not that one!"

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou looked up at the sky; it hadn't rained or snowed in the past two days, and although the weather was overcast and windy, it wasn't enough to collapse the roof.

The construction of the Heavenly Prison wasn't that much of a tofu-dreg project. Supervised by the Ministry of Works, even if there was corruption, it guaranteed the quality of the project.

"Did it really collapse?"

"Collapsed!" Lu Datou nodded heavily.

Chen Guanlou bared his teeth, damn it, couldn't he let him finish the first lunar month before collapsing?

"Did anyone die? How did it collapse? Everything was fine, the roof shouldn't collapse for no reason. If it really did, I must spray the Ministry of Works to death!"

"When I came, Xu Fugui was leading the prison guards to save people; I don't know if anyone died. How the roof collapsed, everyone couldn't say clearly. At that time, everyone was roasting fire in the office, and suddenly with a boom, the roof collapsed."

"Only the Bing-grade prison collapsed, the Jia-grade and Yi-grade were both fine?"

"Only the Bing-grade prison."

Chen Guanlou was furious, what is this?

He briefly told his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan, and instructed the two prison guards to escort his eldest sister and three nephews home safely. He then rushed back to the Heavenly Prison with Lu Datou.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Heavenly Prison and turned around the shadow wall, the sky had indeed collapsed. No, the house collapsed!

The roof of the Bing-grade prison collapsed, more than half of it!

The walls were intact!

It can be called weird!

When Xu Fugui saw him, it was like seeing his own father.

"Warden..." He started crying as soon as he opened his mouth!

"Don't howl!" Chen Guanlou interrupted the other party. "How many people died? How many people are trapped inside? How are the rescued prisoners arranged? Has it been reported to the Ministry of Justice? Where did the people from the Six Shanmen Sect die? Such a big thing, and it hasn't been ruled out as man-made, why didn't you call the Six Shanmen Sect to help." ===== CHAPTER 741 =====
