Chapter 885: Overcrowded, complaining of bitterness and fatigue

Chen Guanlou finally figured it out; the noble who lost his grandson was a marginal figure among the imperial clan, of the same generation as the previous emperor, but much younger than the previous emperor. He had no princely title, only a general's rank. He belonged to a marginal and marginal figure among the imperial clan.

A marginal figure who didn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table for imperial family banquets.

But no matter how marginal he was, his status was still imperial clan. The Emperor could bully him, the same clan could bully him, and officials could bully him, but the common people could not bully him, let alone human traffickers.

Ordinary officials wanting to file a complaint to the imperial presence would have to go through many twists and turns, and it would be difficult to succeed in ten days or half a month. As an imperial clan member, he ran to the Lesser Mansion to cry, make a scene, and hang himself; within one night, the Emperor knew.

Such great courage, even daring to kidnap the grandson of the imperial clan.

Investigate!

Must investigate strictly!

The Emperor personally ordered, so the Brocade Uniform Guard was dispatched, the Five-City Military and Horse Division was dispatched, and the yamen runners of all levels below were dispatched.

The Ministry of Justice and the Grand Court of Justice didn't want to join the fun, only wanting to watch from the sidelines. The Brocade Uniform Guard didn't agree, simply dragging these two families into the water, and by the way, inciting the Censorate to impeach the Capital Prefecture, impeach the Five-City Military and Horse Division, and impeach officials of all levels.

The Brocade Uniform Guard is truly a stirrer of shit.

In previous years, there were many cases of lost children, but this was the first time that such a big commotion occurred, and yamen of all levels were dispatched to find people.

Everyone thought, this time it's stable.

Even if the human traffickers fled to the ends of the earth, the lost children could be found back. Otherwise, they would be underestimating the state machine and underestimating the ability of the Three Judicial Offices and the Brocade Uniform Guard.

Everyone thought so and appeared full of confidence.

However, as time passed bit by bit, not even a shadow of the lost children was found, and there were not even useful clues. For a time, everyone began to worry again.

Until a corpse drained of blood appeared in the garbage dump, and it was confirmed that it was one of the many lost children, the matter suddenly became serious.

Could it be that the human traffickers never left the capital?

What is the situation with the child being drained of blood?

Isn't it a special client wanting a child?

Could it be that a devil has come to the capital?

For a time, all kinds of rumors flew everywhere.

Chen Guanlou in the Heavenly Prison heard seven or eight versions. There was an outrageous version that even suspected the relatives of the dead child, saying that the relatives couldn't give birth to a son and were jealous of their family, so they kidnapped the child and drained the blood. The key is that the officialdom believed it and brought all the relatives of the dead child back to the yamen for investigation.

Not only investigating the family of the dead child, but also investigating the relatives of other lost children.

It was a mess!

Walking on the street, it seemed that one could hear cries of injustice, and could hear the common people cursing. Cursing the officialdom for incompetence, the imperial court for incompetence, unable to solve the case, only knowing how to take common people to be scapegoats!

Investigating back and forth, all were released without guilt.

The yamen was under great pressure.

Xiao Jincheng of the Brocade Uniform Guard was called into the palace and scolded. He was given a deadline of ten days to solve the case.

The Ministry of Justice was also scolded!

It was said that the Ministry of Justice did not fulfill its responsibilities, causing human traffickers to be rampant.

Why didn't they kidnap children at any other time, but had to kidnap them on the Lantern Festival when the Emperor was enjoying the festivities with the people? This was properly slapping the Emperor in the face.

Emperor Taixing was furious; rectification, the public security of the capital must be rectified strictly. Better to arrest the wrong than let one go!

So, the Six Fan Gates were all dispatched, and the streets and alleys of the capital were jumping with chickens and dogs all day long, making a mess. Anyone who was suspicious and couldn't explain their origin was arrested. Whether they were guilty or not, wait until this case subsided.

For a time, the Heavenly Prison was overcrowded!

Mainly the Bing-character prison was overcrowded.

Xu Fugui was sad-faced all day long. The Six Fan Gates arrested people indiscriminately, and most of them were poor people who couldn't squeeze out a tael of silver, and they had to pay for food expenses. Who could he reason with?

He begged before Chen Guanlou, hoping that the Yi-character prison and the Jia-character prison could share the burden.

"The Bing-character prison is not that it can't be locked. If it really doesn't work, change the prison cell that could originally hold three people to hold ten people, as long as it can be squeezed. It's just early spring, the weather is cold, no need to worry about epidemics caused by people squeezing people. At worst, give a few more quilts to keep warm. You just overcome it, don't think about the Yi-character prison and the Jia-character prison. That is impossible!"

Chen Guanlou didn't come with emptiness, directly telling the other party that wanting the Jia-character and Yi-character to share the burden, don't even think about it. Can't even overcome such a small difficulty, how is this prison clerk being done? If it can't be done, let someone else do it!

Xu Fugui was so angry he wanted to cry, never having been so cowardly and aggrieved.

"My lord, you are too biased."

"No way, who let the Jia-character prison and the Yi-character prison give more. People have more money, so I naturally have to take care of them a bit more. Can't give money and still have to enjoy the same treatment as the Bing-character, change to you, could you be happy. Forget it, forget it, add ten percent of the cost to the Bing-character this month."

"Twenty percent!" Xu Fugui gestured with two fingers.

"Don't push your luck." Chen Guanlou glared, appearing particularly serious and upright. "I can add ten percent for you, all because we are colleagues for many years. If you add more, others will have opinions. At worst, compensate you from other places.

You know me, I never treat the people under me badly. Your efforts and hard work in the Bing-character prison, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart. You serve well, settle those people well, don't die or be disabled, I will certainly remember your merit afterwards, and won't let you bleed and cry!"

"Still have to bleed!" Xu Fugui was scared to death.

Chen Guanlou said with extreme disgust: "Metaphor, metaphor, don't you understand? How can I really let you bleed. Taking a step back, the people arrested by the Six Fan Gates are all a group of street rascals, plus a pile of poor people making up the numbers. Who can make you bleed? They are all afraid of you to death, fearing that you will take it seriously and send them to the torture room for punishment!"

Xu Fugui fidgeted, because he couldn't refute, what was said was all true.

This group of people arrested, except for a few thorns, were all very honest. After those few thorns went to the torture room for a trip, they all became honest. Can't be dishonest, hands and feet were broken, faces were deformed, and they couldn't speak clearly.

"There are too many people, eating, drinking, and defecating all day long, it costs a lot of money. My lord, you also know the conditions of the Bing-character prison are just like that, when there are many people, the smell in the prison is simply, there is no way to put your feet down. You always emphasize hygiene, right now in the Bing-character prison, the small one is afraid of epidemics."

Xu Fugui kept saying that he didn't want to take responsibility, he just wanted money.

As long as there is money, let alone these people, even if another hundred or two hundred come, he can eat it.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes silently, the other party's appearance of dying for money was really unpleasant to look at. Completely forgetting that he was also dying for money back then. Now, facing Sun Daoning, he is also dying for money.

Typically only allowing the state official to set fires, not allowing the common people to light lamps. Strict with others, lenient with oneself!

"Fifteen percent, no more. If you are noisy again, I will arrange two prison clerks in the Bing-character prison, you watch and handle it."

Xu Fugui:...

He immediately admitted defeat, resolutely obeyed the superior's arrangement, guaranteed to complete the task, and never shouted bitterness or fatigue! ===== CHAPTER 886 =====
