Chapter 774: One Extra Person
"Still that question, why does the Hou Fu want to touch the Ministry of Justice? The Ministry of Justice being weak is not a reason, it just means it's easy to start. Don't try to change the subject, old man. What does the Ministry of Justice have that is worth you thinking about?"
Chen Guanlou got to the bottom of it.
If he didn't ask clearly, he wouldn't be at ease.
"No one thinks there is too much money."
"Don't be funny. The eldest master is fighting in the northwest, asking the imperial court for hundreds of thousands or millions of military expenses, and he is still short of money. The Hou Fu wants to make money, there are many ways. Old man, how did the young master instruct you? If you don't reveal one or two, I will be uneasy!"
He smiled, joking, but in reality, he was serious and solemn.
"On the surface, the Hou Fu indeed doesn't need to touch the Ministry of Justice. But don't forget, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Justice is also a walker in the Political Affairs Hall, and has the qualification to participate in politics. Where there is power, there is fighting. Others can fight, why can't the Hou Fu fight. Not every thing is full of conspiracy theories."
The eldest master put on the posture of a person who has come over, inducing him.
Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and nodded, barely acknowledging it.
"You pushed Chen Guanxu out, is he qualified?"
"If you are willing to nod, I will push you one hundred percent. You are more suitable than him. Unfortunately, you just like the Heavenly Prison Prison Warden, and you don't look at other errands. When you change your mind, tell me."
Chen Guanlou silently picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
He doesn't want to be a chess piece!
"Is the eldest master going to rebel?"
A sentence, earth-shattering.
The head steward was directly choked, but if he didn't take a breath, he would have to collect his body today.
"You you you you, talking nonsense all day long! Chen Guanlou, can you manage your broken mouth, you dare to say anything."
The head steward was furious, at such an old age, he couldn't stand such stimulation. It was too testing the heart's endurance.
Chen Guanlou snorted, slightly disgusted. "A mere sentence, and you, old man, are broken. Your endurance is not very good!"
"Is it my problem? It's clearly that you have no gate on your mouth, and you dare to say anything. Absurd! Don't say it again in the future."
"You haven't answered me yet."
"You just need to remember that the Hou Fu is a loyal minister of the Great Gan Dynasty!"
"Oh..."
This oh, oh with profound meaning.
The head steward was angry again, pointing at him, he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Forget it, I won't calculate with you. Don't say it again in the future."
Chen Guanlou followed the trend. "You want to arrange Chen Guanxu, I have no opinion. I don't interfere with the things between you. But the silver money that should be mine every month, not a penny can be less. Otherwise, I will turn my face!"
"Know! You kid, recognize money but not people."
"Head steward, you say that, I should be sad. I casually promote someone below, and the silver money I get is far more than this. I am wholeheartedly thinking for the clan, thinking for the Hou Fu, how can you say I recognize money but not people."
"You are right, it is me who is shallow."
The head steward was too lazy to argue with him, and decisively apologized.
After discussing the candidate and determining the subsequent plan, after eating and drinking, Chen Guanlou left the Hou Fu, home!
When Chen Guanfu's son, Chen Mengzhao, entered the mansion, the two met.
Chen Guanlou saw him and chuckled.
Chen Mengzhao hurriedly hid.
"Kid, where are you hiding!"
Grabbing the person, he flew into the sky. Chen Mengzhao was stimulated to almost make a fool of himself in public, but he endured it and saved his face.
"Not bad, the guts are bigger! A man should be like this, don't think so much, just do it!"
"Uncle Lou, you drank!" Chen Mengzhao smiled apologetically, not daring to be presumptuous. He didn't have the airs of the most noble young master of the Hou Fu at all.
"Drank a few cups. I'll take you to play next time."
"Uncle Lou, walk slowly. What are you still doing, hurry up and send Uncle Lou, serve well, there is a reward!"
Chen Mengzhao ordered the servants, and the heart to send guests was impatient.
Chen Guanlou laughed out loud. "You kid... I won't make things difficult for you today, I'll take you to the Heavenly Prison to gain knowledge when I have time."
"Thank you, Uncle Lou!" Chen Mengzhao stood at the door and respectfully sent him off, fulfilling the etiquette.
The wind blew, and he could vaguely feel the heat of summer.
He didn't go home, but turned to the flower street and willow alley to be free.
The one-month deadline has arrived!
Lord Zuo left the capital reluctantly.
When he left, there were spies from the Embroidered Uniform Guard watching, for fear that he would find an excuse not to leave.
Chen Guanlou reported the list as promised, and next, he waited for Sun Daojing's operation to see if he could take down the oil and water of logistics in one fell swoop.
The C-type prison was completed as scheduled, which is gratifying!
Xu Fugui cried with joy!
His prisoner!
The prisoner he was thinking about!
The prisoners in the C-type prison were unified and supervised on the day the prison was completed.
Xu Fugui held his head high, that proud little look, full of spirit.
Chen Guanlou was very satisfied and praised Xu Fugui in public. At the same time, his office had also been renovated, which was the look he wanted.
"Master, the number is wrong!"
Mu Qingshan was the first to report.
"What number is wrong, speak clearly." Chen Guanlou was happy today and didn't want things to go wrong to spoil the fun. He had already reminded him many times with his eyes, but Mu Qingshan was a stick and didn't receive it.
"The supervision of the prisoners in the C-type prison, the student counted it, the number is wrong."
"Did you make a mistake, how could it be wrong. Did you miss the new prisoners during this period?"
"No missing count, but the number is wrong. There is one extra person!"
What the hell?
"One extra person? Are you sure! Not missing a person, but one extra person."
This is really strange.
Mu Qingshan took the roster. "The student counted it several times, and also compared the prison accounts with the reality, and indeed there is one extra person."
"Who is the extra person?" Chen Guanlou grabbed the roster and flipped through it. "What does Xu Fugui say?"
"Xu Fugui is stupid, and hasn't come back to his senses yet. The extra person, the student cannot confirm his identity. Because there is no such person on the roster at all."
"Could it be that the prisoners from the B-type prison and the A-type prison mixed in?"
"The student has inquired with Prison Warden Zhang and Prison Warden Chen, they didn't miss anyone on their side, the number is correct."
Chen Guanlou:...
Strange things happen every year, especially this year.
The Heavenly Prison only has missing people, where does one extra person come from.
It can be called magical.
"Call your uncle, let him bring the medicine box, and go down to the prison with me to check. I want to see which ghost and monster drilled in. Since ancient times, there have only been missing people, how can there be one extra person."
Chen Guanlou closed the roster and took people down to the prison.
The B-type and A-type prisons next door heard about this and ran over to see the strangeness.
Xu Fugui was still bewildered. When he saw Chen Guanlou, he felt like he was about to cry. "Master, I really don't know! I haven't even seen this person. If it weren't for Master Mu saying there was one extra person, I would still be in the dark."
"You should thank Master Mu, at least treat him to a drink. Look at how you are as a prison guard, you don't even know if there are missing or extra people."
"If there were missing people, I would definitely know." Xu Fugui argued in a low voice, "Who would have thought that there would be one extra person. Is there anyone who takes the initiative to go to prison these days." ===== CHAPTER 775 =====
