Chapter 870
Chen Guanlou had to go against his conscience to help Sun Daoning complete the disgusting errand.
It's just hard on Wang Youfu.
Bad luck, approaching the end of the year, still have to work, and it's such a perverted and disgusting job.
Taking the opportunity, he applied for a sum of money from Sun Daoning, calling it soothing everyone's polluted eyes and hearts.
Sun Daoning:...
"You really know how to make up names! No one soothes my polluted eyes and hearts."
"You can also apply for a soothing consolation fee for yourself." Chen Guanlou said so, his attitude righteous.
Sun Daoning's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Without this consolation fee, you won't do it?"
"Without money, what can you do? Without money, you can't even order the beggars on the street. Old Sun, do you think everyone is like you, willing to be toilet paper!"
Sun Daoning was furious, "Do you think this official is willing to be toilet paper?"
"Whether you are willing or not, I don't know, anyway, the money can't be less."
"Deduct it from the Heavenly Prison's account book." Sun Daoning made the final decision. It is absolutely impossible to walk the account from the Ministry of Justice and get money. The Ministry of Justice's money has always been only in and not out.
"Then deduct more, five thousand taels."
"Are you robbing money!"
"If you think it's too much, then walk the account from the Ministry of Justice."
"Impossible. Five thousand taels is five thousand taels, if you dare to open your lion's mouth again, this official will hold you accountable." Sun Daoning thought in his heart that next year he would find a way to get these five thousand taels back. Find a few scapegoat prisoners to knock a sum, there is plenty of money.
The money problem was discussed properly, and Chen Guanlou consciously said goodbye. Knowing he was annoying, he didn't stay in the yamen to be an eyesore. However, when leaving, he didn't forget to remind the other, "Old Sun, remember to come watch the execution when Lingchi-ing! Lingchi a dead person, this is a rare event, and it is Prince Cheng's body, you absolutely cannot miss it. Call all the officials of the Ministry of Justice, must let everyone feel His Majesty's thick love!"
One sentence full of mockery.
Sun Daoning had the heart to scold, but after thinking about it, he couldn't be the only one disgusted. When executing, he should pull all the officials of the Ministry of Justice to watch the execution, to be disgusted together. No one should have a good year!
So when the words reached his mouth, he decisively changed his words, "Rest assured, this official will definitely arrive on time."
Chen Guanlou:...
He just said it casually, didn't expect the other to actually agree.
Thinking about it, Old Sun's mind is vicious! Sure enough, one cannot suffer alone, everyone must be together. Hehe! Now there is excitement to watch.
After returning to the Heavenly Prison, he called Wang Youfu to the office, looking sighing, and didn't speak for a long time.
Wang Youfu was restless, breaking the silence first, "Official, whatever it is, just give your orders. This subordinate has received your care, and will definitely do my best to share the worries for the official."
"Hey! Just say how this official treats you?"
"The official has always been quite caring to this subordinate!" Wang Youfu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. The routine of officials, once they start playing the human favor card, there is absolutely no good thing.
He was very nervous, very much wanted to refuse, but couldn't say the words of refusal. He could sit firmly in the position of the criminal room manager because of the full support of Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. At the beginning, there was a mistake in Lingchi at the execution ground, and the people below were very noisy. If it weren't for Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's insistence on public opinion and suppression, he would have been replaced long ago.
He must repay!
Only with repayment can there be coming and going, and life can be long.
Just afraid the errand is too difficult.
"It's like this, there is another job at the end of the year!"
Hearing the job, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't know what job it is?"
Chen Guanlou tapped the table lightly, "You know the news of Prince Cheng's defeat and death, right."
"Heard about it."
"His Majesty deeply hates Prince Cheng, even the body is not willing to let go, requiring to cut into a thousand pieces. Unfortunately, this job fell on the Ministry of Justice. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Justice arranged this job for the Heavenly Prison. Unfortunately, Lingchi this job only you can do in the criminal room."
"This subordinate understands. Wait, the official just said Lingchi? Body?"
"That's right! It's just as you understand, Lingchi Prince Cheng's body! This job is very difficult, this official knows. At that time, the palace will send people to watch the execution, and the Ministry of Justice will also organize all officials to watch the execution! But you rest assured, this official personally applied for a consolation fee for you, a full one hundred taels. Do it?"
Wang Youfu was stunned, his expression like crying.
He was very difficult, very aggrieved, very angry, and complained, "Official, this subordinate only knows how to Lingchi living people, I don't know how to Lingchi dead people!"
"Actually, think about it from another angle, Lingchi dead people is much simpler than Lingchi living people, don't have to worry about the body dying halfway, don't have to worry about the scene being bloody. It doesn't matter if the work is rough. It's just that there is a requirement, three thousand cuts, not a single one less."
Wang Youfu vomited on the spot, retching. Just like a pregnant woman, his stomach was churning, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
Chen Guanlou poured him tea personally, "Don't worry, and don't be in a hurry to be disgusted. The disgusting part is still behind. We have to take this job, you understand. If you have a way to invite a helper, it is also possible. This official absolutely supports it! Don't worry about the money, you can walk the public account!"
Wang Youfu drank three cups of tea in one breath, his face pale and bloodless, clearly stimulated not lightly, "Official, this job is not something a person does!"
"So I opened a high price of one hundred taels for you. In addition, the year-end bonus will be doubled for you. How about it?"
"Official, Lingchi dead people is taboo! It will be cursed. They all say grievances have heads and debts have owners, this person is already dead, and still have to cut into a thousand pieces. The resentment of the dead soul is hard to eliminate, and it will be counted on the heads of us executioners. Official, this job really can't be done."
"One hundred and fifty taels! This official personally fights for you, you only need to do the job well, don't worry about anything else."
"Official, this subordinate has old people above and small people below, this subordinate is afraid of death!"
"Two hundred taels, no more! You should know, two hundred taels looking at the whole world, is a unique high price. No yamen or individual will open such a high price for an executioner. Little Wang, this official trusts you, so I will hand this errand to you. Could it be that I spend two hundred taels, and I can't invite an executioner from outside? Definitely someone is willing to earn this money, right."
Executioners can't be called poor, but they are definitely not rich. Doing a job, a reward of one or two taels of silver belongs to the market fair price. Occasionally being able to get five taels of silver is encountering family members to tip.
Executioners belong to a group of people slightly below the small citizen class in the capital, with limited income, but enough to eat and drink, that's how it is. Low status, difficult to talk about marriage, is also a fact.
A huge sum of two hundred taels, it can be said that an executioner can't earn so much money in a lifetime. And it's earning so much money in one job, put outside, absolutely there are executioners fighting for it.
However, the dignity of the yamen cannot be desecrated.
If you have your own executioner, how can you invite foreign aid from outside. Especially this kind of execution that is small-scale public on the official side!
Besides, if there is money to earn, definitely first take care of your own people! Only when your own people don't look down on this money, will you consider inviting foreign aid.
