Chapter 762: Private salt seller

It sounds reasonable, with cause and effect, and logical self-consistency.

Chen Guanlou drank a cup of tea and was silent for a while; he was hesitating how to speak.

Some things must be said clearly; avoidance is useless.

"Do you know your stepmother..."

"I understand the meaning of Jiang Jiang Yucheng Lord! Times have changed; she is not my stepmother now, just a lady in the palace."

"Oh, so you knew."

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly, "Are you married?"

The topic turned a bit sharply, and the other party was clearly stunned for a moment before answering, "Reporting to My Lord, I was married. It's a pity that my wife had no luck; she had a difficult labor during childbirth, and both mother and child died."

"So, you returned to the capital alone? The mansion your father left, the Heavenly Prison kept it for you. Have you handled the procedures and moved in?"

"Grateful to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Lord, grateful to the uncles of the Heavenly Prison for keeping the mansion for me. The procedures have been handled, and I have moved in."

Li Shuan was sincerely grateful when he mentioned this.

If the Heavenly Prison hadn't come forward to help him keep the family property, otherwise, that mansion would have been occupied by his uncles long ago. If he wanted to take it back, it would definitely be extremely difficult, and the clan would definitely not support him.

His father Li Dahong worked for a lifetime, and the only family property he left was that mansion. Although the mansion is very small, only one entrance, four bedrooms, the location is excellent. Nowadays, if you want to buy such a mansion, you can't even think about it without a thousand or two thousand taels.

House prices in the capital have soared in recent years, which is unbearable for ordinary people. After leaving home for ten years, the house is still there when he returns; he must thank Heaven and Earth, and thank the Heavenly Prison for coming forward to keep the family property for him.

"Are you living alone now?"

"Reporting to My Lord, yes."

Chen Guanlou nodded, "You want to work in the Heavenly Prison; I shouldn't stop you, after all, you are inheriting your father's errand. In this way, you follow Prison Guard Chen Quan first, and he will arrange it for you specifically. Your father used to work in the A-grade prison, working diligently. I hope you don't tarnish your father's reputation!"

Li Shuan showed a surprised expression, immediately stood up, and bowed to thank, "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Lord, the small one will definitely work well and not add trouble to everyone."

Hope so!

Waving his hand, he sent the person away.

Subsequent matters were handled by Chen Quan.

Medical Official Mu walked into the office and asked very unexpectedly: "Did you really let him stay?"

"Otherwise? Keeping him under my eyes is better than him messing around outside. Besides, he is inheriting Li Dahong's errand; I can't stop him, it doesn't conform to the rules. Why are the prison guards willing to suffer and guard this errand? First, for money, second, for the errand to be passed on to descendants. If I stop Li Shuan, the prison guards will have opinions. If they make trouble, it will be very troublesome!"

Chen Guanlou also has his own difficulties.

The rules are formulated, especially the rules for prison guard benefits, just for everyone to follow. If he breaks them first, the majesty and trust established before will all be destroyed.

The prison guards don't care how he cleans up those prisoners, whether they die or live, it doesn't matter.

However, if their own interests are touched, they will definitely make trouble.

"Does he have a problem?" Medical Official Mu asked curiously.

"Currently, there is no big problem. However, there is one thing I guessed right."

"What thing?"

"This kid committed a crime, and returning to the capital to be a prison guard is to avoid disaster."

"How do you know? He said it?"

"He didn't say it, but I saw it." Chen Guanlou smiled clearly, everything under control, "He said he mixed with private salt sellers; this should be true. Almost caught, I guess it's also true. He messed up the order, thinking he could mix it up, heh!"

"He is a private salt seller, you saw it?" Medical Official Mu was very surprised. That Li Shuan kid looks very upright, doesn't look like someone who makes a living by crooked means.

"I estimate his private salt business scale is not small, and he made a lot of money. Did you see his hands?"

"Didn't pay attention, what's the problem."

"There are ring marks on it! Have you seen any small peddler wearing a ring? Look at the width of the ring mark, the ring is quite big."

Rings in this era are not like later generations where iron or plastic or all kinds of messy materials can be used.

Rings in this era are either gold or silver, and have to be inlaid with jewelry. It is definitely not something that ordinary small peddlers can wear.

"He is used to a life of wealth, can he endure this job of a prison guard?"

Not to mention anything else, just the working environment is not something everyone can accept.

"This kid is mixing in the dark, mixing to the end of the road. He decisively ran back to the capital to be a prison guard. It can be considered flexible, a man. It's just that he has too many tricks, so let Chen Quan watch him, so he doesn't mess around and ruin the rules."

Medical Official Mu had more worries, "You said this matter is making a scene. Lady Liu's stepson is a private salt seller; if this spreads out, this won't..."

"Where is the stepson? Lady Liu and the Li family have had nothing to do with each other for eight hundred years, so where is the stepmother and stepson? The Li family's property is right there; no one wants it, which means there is no involvement. Don't talk nonsense."

If there is an economic dispute, saying there is involvement is still reasonable.

Li Dahong only left a mansion, no money. The funeral back then was all paid for by the prison guard brothers of the Heavenly Prison. About a hundred days after Li Dahong died, Lady Liu returned to the Eastern Palace.

Since then, she has completely cut off relations with the Li family.

Now pulling out the matters of that year is truly making trouble out of nothing.

"You think so, which doesn't mean others think so. Lady Liu and Li Dahong were husband and wife; this matter can't be hidden, many people know it. If in the palace..."

"There is no if. Since Li Shuan entered the Heavenly Prison, he will take root here in the future. I won't give him a chance to mess around outside, and even less will I allow him to climb up to Lady Liu."

"Are you sure you can watch him?" Medical Official Mu held a skeptical attitude toward this.

"I break his legs, okay?" Chen Guanlou snorted, "Watching a person doesn't necessarily mean using a pair of eyes. If I break his legs and throw him into the prison cell, can't I watch him?"

Of course, it hasn't reached that point yet.

Li Shuan doesn't mess around, doesn't dream of things he shouldn't, so naturally, he won't take action.

Medical Official Mu pondered for a while, and tentatively said: "Why don't I give him some medicine."

"Old Mu, you are really worrying blindly, grass and trees are all soldiers. It really hasn't reached that degree."

"This old man is just afraid of the if, just afraid of the ten thousand. Anything involving the palace is not a good thing."

"In this way, I will find a way to send a message to Lady Liu in the palace and ask for her opinion."

"You actually have contact with Lady Liu. You kid, you hide deep enough!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Guanlou denied it, "What contact! No contact at all. I intend to spend money to deliver the message. What do you know!"

"This old man doesn't know. However, you should pay attention to the measure. Lady Liu, you, tsk... back then you two..."

"Shut up! You old man, don't talk about everything." Chen Guanlou decisively interrupted the other party.

Talking nonsense all day long, saying things that don't exist with nose and eyes; rumors and gossip are produced like this. ===== CHAPTER 763 =====
