Chen Guanlou rushed to the prison as fast as he could.

He called the jailer on duty and asked, "What's going on?"

The jailer was confused, "What noise?"

"Nothing happened?" Chen Guanlou swallowed the word "prison break-in". This matter could not be made public, and even the existence of Wang Qiren would never alert the people above.

He did not want the prison to be the focus of attention.

A job that pays a lot of money, has little work and is close to home should not let more people discover the beauty of it. It is even more important to avoid taking the blame, especially a big black pot on your head.

Just pretend that there is no such person as Wang Qiren in the world, and everyone has forgotten this person. This is the best strategy.

"Nothing happened!" The jailer looked confused, "Nothing happened all night, not even a single person called out."

Chen Guanlou immediately frowned and scolded, "Don't just gamble all day, at least do your job with some effort. Go away, I'll go down and take a look, no need to follow."

"Really no need to follow?"

"Go away! You stink, do you want to stifle me to death?"

The jailer retreated silently, then reached out and turned his head to smell his armpits, "Smelly? Why can't I smell it? I can wear it for another three days."

Chen Guanlou went down to the prison alone and walked straight to the deepest part of the prison.

Closer!

Closer!

The prison door was open and empty.

The prisoner ran away!

The prisoner was kidnapped!

The person was taken away from the deepest part of the prison silently.

Zhang Daohe really had an insider in the prison.

He suddenly came to his senses. Why did Zhang Daohe look for him? Because he was on duty tonight, Zhang Daohe's purpose was actually to delay him. On the other hand, if he was willing to help rescue people, Zhang Daohe's accomplices would not have to break the prison.

In order to hold him back, he even told his life story.

No, Zhang Daohe could have run to Tianlao to break the prison when he was not on duty?

Unless there was a deadline, forcing the other party to take Wang Qiren away tonight.

Zhang Daohe clearly saw that he had a secret. If a fight broke out, it would inevitably cause a big fuss and alarm the Jinyiwei next door. Once the Jinyiwei was dispatched, it would be a luxury for the religious bandits to take Wang Qiren away.

The best way is to hold him back and keep him away from Tianlao. At the same time, Zhang Daohe's accomplices followed the insider and quietly took Wang Qiren out of Tianlao and away from the capital.

Chen Guanlou: ...

He looked at the empty cell and felt very depressed.

Is Zhang Daohe really Wang Qiren's grandson?

Why did he have to take Wang Qiren away?

Is there any other secret about Wang Qiren? Is he really involved with that group of religious bandits?

At this moment, he still had the mind to think about something else, which was really careless.

Zhang Daohe's goal was achieved, and now the problem fell on his hands: there was suddenly one less prisoner in the Tianlao, what should he do?

Chen Guanlou left the Tianlao quietly.

When it was dawn, he called Xiao Jin, "Do you know the prisoner in the deepest part of the Tianlao?"

"I know! But I only went down once, it's very creepy."

"The person is gone!" Chen Guanlou stated the facts calmly.

Xiao Jin was a little confused. Was this person dead or missing?

"Find a way to solve this matter."

"Do you mean to report it?" Xiao Jin asked tentatively.

Chen Guanlou pursed his lips and exhaled heavily, "Report the prisoner's death. The servant who delivered the food, you find someone to guard him and ask him carefully, don't let him out for the time being."

"Sir, there must be a body to report a death. This person is gone, there is no body, right?"

The two people played dumb, no one said the word jailbreak, but they both knew in their hearts that this was a jailbreak. The prison was robbed, but the robbers were very good and took the person away without making any noise.

No one knows the identity of the prisoner in the deepest part of the prison, but he must have a great background to be imprisoned in the deepest part for decades with special care. If the jailbreak is shouted out, everyone will be in trouble.

In this case, it is better to report a death as usual. It is normal for people to die in the prison, and every prison has a death quota. It is normal for a prisoner who has been imprisoned for decades to suddenly die.

"Find a way to get a corpse that fits the atmosphere of the prison. Can you do this? If you can't, ask Lu Datou, he has experience."

Xiao Jin bared his teeth. It's easy to find a corpse. There are fresh corpses every day in the mass grave outside the city. The difficulty is to fit the atmosphere of the prison and be able to cope with the inspection of the Ministry of Justice's coroner.

The corpses in the prison are different from the corpses outside. The smell alone is very different. A child can tell the difference between a corpse that has not seen the sun for many years and a corpse that has been working for many years.

Chen Guanlou said again: "I will approve 500 taels for you. Go to Qian Fugui to get the money. If it's not enough, ask him for more."

"Does Qian Fugui know about this?"

"Qian Fugui doesn't know. The fewer people who know about this, the better. The identity of this unknown old prisoner is unknown to everyone in the prison. We must be on guard against the Ministry of Justice asking about it. If he is a big shot, the palace may also send someone to ask about this matter. So, it must be true!"

Chen Guanlou emphasized the word true.

Xiao Jin understood the deep meaning, "Sir, there is actually another way to be true. The weather is hot now, and the bodies are deteriorating quickly. To be honest, the morgue in our prison is gloomy, but there is no ice after all."

Chen Guanlou nodded secretly, "You are an old man in Tianlao, you should know which one meets the requirements of Tianlao. Don't reveal the details, be prepared to be checked by the coroner, or even by the palace. I will approve another three hundred taels of silver for you. Eight hundred taels of silver, this matter must be done. Do it as soon as possible. I will report the death when I get off work today, so you only have a few hours."

Xiao Jin took the task and hurried out with a trusted jailer to find the source of the corpse.

Chen Guanlou rubbed his eyebrows.

The trouble Zhang Daohe caused him was that he did not take a penny and had to pay eight hundred taels.

Next time he sees the other party, he must kill him.

After suffering such a big loss and having to take the trouble to deal with the aftermath, Chen Guanlou's mood was naturally not good.

At lunch, he met Xu Fugui and he did not give him a good face. Xu Fugui was furious, and he whispered to his colleague, "Have I provoked him recently?"

"I guess he hasn't gotten over the woman's escape from marriage." The colleague laughed.

Xu Fugui clicked his tongue twice, "He deserves it! He wants to marry a lady from a rich family, who is he? As a jailer, he should know himself, and marrying a big-butt who is easy to give birth to is the right thing to do."

"He is a scholar, different from us."

"What's the difference? He is still a jailer, and he just flatters people a little better."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed in unison.

Xu Fugui's jealous face and the fact that Chen Guanlou was hated by others could please these jailers whose lives were boring.
