Chapter 907: I want to pay respects upright and honestly

After two days, the Prince of Cheng's heir gradually calmed down. He asked the prison guard to pass a message that he wanted to see Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen.

"He wants to see me? What for?"

Chen Guanlou asked Chen Quan, who passed the message.

Chen Quan was embarrassed. "The little one asked, but he wouldn't say. He only said he wanted to see Master. Master, are you going to see him?"

"What's his situation now?"

"Still considered normal."

"Didn't cry or make trouble?" Chen Guanlou was curious.

Chen Quan nodded. "Didn't cry or make trouble, very quiet!"

Prison guards like quiet prisoners, no trouble, saves work!

"Adjusted very quickly!" Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue. "As expected of an heir, there must be something worth showing. Otherwise, a pure waste, making people look down on him."

In the end, he still went down to the big prison to see the Prince of Cheng's heir.

The Prince of Cheng's heir had a face full of stubble, but his hair was combed very neatly, looking like a noble young master in a wandering style, which was a bit interesting.

"You're looking for me?"

"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for taking the time to see me! You said my father's body was sliced into three thousand pieces, so was he buried in peace?"

"Already buried!" Chen Guanlou said positively. "The palace specifically ordered the most skilled corpse-sewing craftsman in the capital to sew him up, and then the Shaofu arranged for him to be buried in peace."

"May I ask, where is my father's body buried?"

"Outside the city! You have to ask someone for the specific location. I heard it's not far from the Imperial Mausoleum. Your father was a royal prince after all, so he had the decency he should have after death. You have to believe the Shaofu on this point; they wouldn't dare to mess around."

Marriage, funeral, and sacrifice have their own rules.

Especially funerals!

Funeral rites could be written into a book, showing how much people value funerals. Serve the dead as you serve the living! Can't be careless!

The Prince of Cheng's heir heard this and slowly let out a sigh of relief. "I have a request, and I hope Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can agree."

"You say it first. Whether I agree or not depends on discussion."

"I want to pay respects to my father, and I hope Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen will fulfill it."

Chen Guanlou frowned immediately.

The Prince of Cheng's heir saw this and immediately said: "Just as Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen said, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk out of the Heavenly Prison alive. I just want to pay respects to my father before I die. Otherwise, after I die, who else can burn incense and pay respects to him? While I'm still alive, do what I can do, so I can die without regrets!"

"This matter is hard to handle. If you just pay respects in the Heavenly Prison, it's easy. But listening to you, you want to pay respects before the grave, I can't make the decision on this. Even the Ministry of Justice can't make the decision. It must reach the Emperor's ears, and the palace must nod before you can go to pay respects before the grave."

Chen Guanlou spoke the truth.

"But then again, with the Emperor's heart, do you guess he would agree to let you go out to pay respects?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen the Emperor, and I don't know what kind of person he is." The Prince of Cheng's heir said honestly, appearing straightforward and a bit silly.

Chen Guanlou tapped the cell railing lightly. "If you are willing to take the risk, I will report it to the Ministry of Justice and let the Ministry of Justice report it to the palace to see the palace's reaction. Once the palace rejects it, the path for you to sneak out to pay respects will be blocked. Another way, don't go to the grave, find a place close to the grave, pay respects, and your heart will be reached. You decide which of the two ways."

"I want to pay respects to my father upright and honestly, not sneakily." The Prince of Cheng's heir's goal was very clear!

Thinking about it, if he knew how to walk crooked paths, he wouldn't have been fooled by Marquis Pingjiang, and the army wouldn't have been defeated after the Prince of Cheng died. Crooked paths, at least you would use your brain to think of ideas, and regardless of whether it works or not, you do it first; at the very least, there is execution power. The Prince of Cheng's heir's 'upright and honest', sigh, it's just too upright, always missing good opportunities, and lacking execution power, only able to be a prisoner.

"That is to say, you choose the first way. Fine! I will report it to the Ministry of Justice for you; whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck. Of course, if you are willing to pay silver, even if it's the palace, I will find a way to handle it for you. How about it?"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is indeed capable of reaching the heavens. These past two days, I heard other prisoners mention Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, mostly with praise. They all say that if there is anything, whether it is finding people or clearing relationships, as long as the silver is in place, finding Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is better than finding people outside. I didn't expect you to have connections in the palace too."

"Thanks to the officials looking up to me, everyone is mutually beneficial, long-term cooperation, only then did I have today's reputation." Chen Guanlou smiled smugly; the reputation accumulated over many years was all real gold and silver.

"But I have no silver." The Prince of Cheng's heir said with a face full of depression.

"It doesn't matter! Your mother's family and wife's family are all there, and they have family assets. Write a note, and I'll send someone to ask for money from both families. No matter what, they will pay a sum of money for you to fulfill your wish of wanting to pay respects."

"I have already become a prisoner, and it is already rare that they haven't drawn a line with me. How can they pay silver for me." The Prince of Cheng's heir said so.

"I am already a prisoner; it is truly rare that they haven't drawn a line between themselves and me. How could I let them pay money on my behalf?" the Heir of Prince Cheng said.

You think the officials in the Heavenly Prison are all eating and drinking for free? Hehe! You ask them, who didn't pay silver to move in. Without silver, the grass on the grave is already one person high.

You are playing high and lofty with me at this time, are you sure you want to play like this? Although I can't kill you, I definitely won't be pursued if I make you half-crippled! Do you want to try?"

"You you you, how can you be like this?" The Prince of Cheng's heir was quite panicked, seemingly unable to accept Chen Guanlou's change of face. Fortunately, he wasn't scared silly like the first day.

"Why can't I be like this? The prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, regardless of their previous status, once they enter this place, they must be managed by me. Back then, when the Grand Tutor moved in, he had to pay the full amount according to the rules. Don't tell me you think you are more decent and more noble than the Grand Tutor?"

Chen Guanlou opened his mouth, full of sarcasm! Not giving any face at all.

Without money, even if the King of Heaven came, don't even think about getting a good face from him.

The Prince of Cheng's heir was speechless, and it took a long time for him to find his sanity. "I, I will pay the money. It's just that, even if I write a note, they might not be willing to pay the money."

"Whether they pay or not is not your concern. You just write the note, and we will handle the money."

"Since you have a way to ask for money, why must you have this Prince write a note?" The Prince of Cheng's heir asked uncomprehendingly.

Chen Guanlou sneered immediately, laughing at the other party for living for a dozen or twenty years in vain, not even understanding this point.

He still explained: "Do you understand what is called 'justifiable and reasonable', what is called 'legal and reasonable procedures', what is called 'correct procedures'? Without your note, we go to ask for money, that's called robbery. Can the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison be robbers? Obviously not! With your note, we go to ask for money, that's called having reason and evidence, justifiable and reasonable, even if we go to the yamen, we are the ones in the right, understand?" ===== CHAPTER 908 =====

He still explained: "Do you understand what it means to be justified and legitimate, what it means for procedures to be legal and reasonable, and what it means for the process to be correct? Without your slip, if we go to their door to demand money, that's called being a robber. As dignified Heavenly Prison guards, can we act like robbers? Obviously not! With your slip, if we go to their door to demand money, that's called having reason and evidence, being justified and legitimate. Even if they report it to the yamen, we are the ones in the right. Understand?"
