Chapter 947: Could it be that the sir is feeling guilty?
"Sir, there is one more prisoner in the Bing-block prison."
Early in the morning, Mu Qingshan brought the roster to the office. "Xu Fugui is too excessive; this is not the first time. The student thinks that Xu Fugui should be severely punished."
Chen Guanlou gave a light cough and silently took the roster. "Stop talking nonsense; where are there more people? The number of people is just right."
"Sir, are your eyes blind? There is clearly one more person."
"You don't need to worry about this matter."
"Sir, could this matter be related to you?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chen Guanlou was very dissatisfied, throwing the roster aside and accusing Mu Qingshan of making trouble out of nothing.
Mu Qingshan picked up the roster and muttered: "Since it was arranged by the sir, why not say it in advance? The student has been tempered for several years and can be considered sensible; I definitely won't talk nonsense outside and will definitely keep the secret for the sir."
"Why do you think that people who enter the prison are prisoners?"
"If they aren't prisoners, what else could they be?"
"Can't people come to the Heavenly Prison for a vacation and experience prison life?"
Mu Qingshan had an expression that was hard to describe. "Sir, why don't you listen to what you are saying; is that human talk?"
"Presumptuous!" Chen Guanlou was very disdainful, waving his hand to drive him away. "Hurry up, get busy with your proper business. The pressure on silver money this month is so great, yet you have the leisure to pay attention to the Bing-block prison; you don't distinguish between primary and secondary, it's simply absurd. You should now devote all your energy to the Jia-block prison and pay attention to that group of criminal officials. Go urge Qian Fugui; where did the prison guard who collects money die? Why hasn't the money arrived yet? The higher-ups are urging me, so I can only urge you all; don't even think about being lazy."
Mu Qingshan responded and muttered another sentence: "Is the Ministry of Justice poor to the point of madness? They are picking on the Heavenly Prison every day; the Heavenly Prison will sooner or later be picked to death."
"Where did all that nonsense come from! As a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Justice, if you don't share the worries for the Ministry of Justice, could it be that you want to share the worries for the Embroidered Uniform Guard next door? Hurry up, go urge the accounts."
Sun Daoning was in a hurry for money on his side.
Chen Guanlou shared the worries for his superior and could only increase the pressure on the people below.
After dismissing Mu Qingshan, he went to the Bing-block prison to visit Zhuang Yifei, who had voluntarily applied for imprisonment. After all, he was a client, and having given money, the Heavenly Prison should provide corresponding services.
"How does Brother Zhuang feel? Can you adapt?"
The conditions of the Bing-block prison were the worst among the three prisons. The light was limited, the cleaning was very rough, the blood in the cells had never been cleaned up, and if you looked carefully, you might even find some human remains or meat foam. All kinds of insects ran around, and the smell was suffocating. In short, it was a mess.
Compared to the Bing-block prison, the Jia-block prison could be called a five-star prison.
There are actually people in this world who voluntarily apply for imprisonment; with these conditions, tsk... he is worthy of holding the determination for revenge. Only those who harbor great hatred and have not yet reported it can be willing to be imprisoned.
"Thank you for your concern, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen; I can still adapt. I have experienced environments ten times worse than this."
"As long as you can adapt, that's fine. If you have any needs, just tell the prison guards. I have already greeted them, and the prison guards will not make things difficult for you. In addition, if you want to add meals, just give money."
"I know. Another day, if the great hatred is reported, I will leave it to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to dispose of me."
"Why would I dispose of you?" Chen Guanlou was very disdainful. "The government will naturally take you into custody; you might not be able to enter the Heavenly Prison."
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is a government official, yet you do not oppose my actions. When I risked coming to the Heavenly Prison, I held the determination to die. I thought you were all public servants, and Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen would definitely protect the man surnamed Geng."
Chen Guanlou was unhappy. "You said yourself that people in the Wu Lin praised me as unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. It turns out you made it up. I said it, I don't mix in the Wu Lin, and people in the Wu Lin know a fart."
Zhuang Yifei was slightly embarrassed. "But I did indeed inquire about Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's reputation; everyone says you are a trustworthy person, different from other government officials, especially emphasizing credibility and having principles in doing things. Otherwise, I would never dare to risk coming to the Heavenly Prison."
That's more like it.
His small vanity was satisfied, and Chen Guanlou did not pursue the responsibility of the other party's fabrication.
Unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness is a good reputation, but also a shackle.
He did not forget to instruct Lu Datou: "Watch Zhuang Yifei for me, don't let Xu Fugui mess around. People gave money, this money is not taken in vain, and I will give you all a bonus when the time comes."
Lu Datou patted his chest. "Brother, don't worry, since you have spoken, Xu Fugui won't dare to mess around. He hasn't wiped his own ass clean, and he only has money in his eyes. Since the man surnamed Zhuang gave money, everything is easy to talk about. It's just that I can't figure it out; in this day and age, there are actually people who spend money to be imprisoned."
"What do you know, he is experiencing life."
"Isn't it to avoid enemies?" Lu Datou asked curiously.
Chen Guanlou hummed. "I said it's experiencing life, so it's experiencing life; do you remember?"
"Remembered! Brother, whatever you say is what it is. Anyway, in this day and age, there are all kinds of people, and the man surnamed Zhuang is no exception."
"That's the logic!"
After settling everything, Chen Guanlou left the Bing-block prison. The sun was just right, drinking a little wine, listening to a little tune, and the days were beautiful.
It was not beautiful for half a day when news came from the Hou Fu that the old lady had entered the dying stage, and life had reached its final moment.
Chen Guanlou did not dare to delay, taking Medical Official Mu and rushing to the Hou Fu.
Everyone in the Hou Fu had arrived, all gathered in the old lady's courtyard, dozens of people, big and small. The courtyard was crowded to the point of being impassable.
Several elders from the clan also came, surrounding the Heir Chen Guanfu and whispering.
"Please invite Medical Official Mu in to take another look at the old lady!"
Even though it was the final moment, everyone still held a glimmer of hope.
Chen Guanlou signaled for Old Mu to go in boldly and treat her as he should. If he couldn't treat her, he didn't need to have a burden and could just confess directly. With him there, no one would make things difficult for him.
If he needed to prescribe medicine, he could prescribe it. As long as it was useful.
Medical Official Mu took a deep breath and carried the medicine box into the room.
"Uncle Lou, I'm afraid!" The little girl Chen Mengxun whispered to Chen Guanlou's side. "If the old lady has any accidents, what will happen to the Hou Fu?"
"Your father and mother didn't tell you?"
"They are too busy. Because the old lady is seriously ill, they are busy every day, and I dare not add trouble to them."
The little girl is quite sensible.
Chen Guanlou saw her little face turn pale and comforted her: "Don't be afraid! Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Do you have any news about your selection?"
"I'm afraid I have to wait until next year."
I think so too.
Once the old lady passes away, Chen Mengxun, as a great-granddaughter, will observe mourning for three months according to the system, usually for a hundred days of hot mourning. She cannot enter the palace with ominous energy. Moreover, once the old lady passes away, the situation will definitely change. Whether she still needs to enter the palace for selection at that time remains to be seen.
If there are no accidents, after the old lady passes away, there will be a game of chess.
Everything previously agreed upon will inevitably be overturned and restarted.
"Just listen to your father's arrangements! You must have confidence in your father and your grandfather. Also, don't forget to temper yourself." ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
