The air above the Tianlao has begun to smell.

Even in winter, it cannot stop what is bound to happen, such as the decay of the corpse.

All kinds of means can only delay it.

The only way to solve the problem fundamentally is to quickly pull the corpse out and bury it.

Chen Guanlou simply gave up his face and went to find Sun Daoning.

As a result, Sun Daoning spread his hands and said that he could not help.

"The Ministry of Justice has already notified the Princess's Mansion. There has been no news for a long time, and this official can't do anything. This official has no friendship with the Princess's Mansion and has never had any contact with us. Even if I want to help, I have no idea where to start."

"Sir Sun, can you give me a note to pull the corpse out first and store it in the charity cemetery. There are so many people in the Tianlao, and there may be an epidemic. This matter must be prevented."

Chen Guanlou thought his request was reasonable.

However, Sun Daoning said, "This is against the rules."

"Why is it against the rules? The cause of death and identity have been determined. According to the rules, the body should be either buried or taken away. Because of the princess's mansion, the Ministry of Justice did not make a distinction, and the body has been kept in the Tianlao. It is obvious that your Ministry of Justice is not doing a good job and implicated our Tianlao."

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, his face fell, "Chen the jailer, I will just assume that you are young and hot-tempered and don't know the rules, and I won't care about your disrespect for your superiors. Only when you meet me, you will be so generous. If it were another official, you would have been kicked out long ago."

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes immediately.

These officials are really not a good thing. They turn against each other like turning over a book.

He gritted his teeth, "The Great Ming King is very peaceful now, I will share your worries, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, can't you handle such a small matter?"

Sun Daoning picked up the file in his hand, "No one in the Ministry of Justice wants to offend the Princess's Mansion, and I am the same. Princess Qingyang is well-known, and she is, um, a person with a relatively upright temperament."

It is clear that he wants to say that Princess Qingyang is a crazy woman, and no one dares to provoke her. Otherwise, why would the Ministry of Justice be so cautious and not even dare to outline a corpse.

Anyway, the corpse is not in the Ministry of Justice, so there is no need to provoke that crazy woman for such a small matter.

"Okay, I won't go to the Princess's Mansion. Can you talk to that guest official Su? If guest official Su nods, Her Royal Highness the Princess will nod, too."

Sun Daoning shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "This matter is not easy to handle. This official and Mr. Su are not from the same department, nor are they from the same hometown, let alone classmates. We have never worked together and have never had any friendship. He is now a guest official of the Princess's Mansion. The court is not peaceful at the moment. Princess Qingyang has a clear and public position. This official should not communicate with the guest official of the Princess's Mansion to avoid unnecessary suspicion. However, this official knows someone who may be able to talk to Mr. Su. You also know this person."

"Who?"

"Xie Changling."

"Him?"

Chen Guanlou was a little surprised.

"Su and Xie Changling were colleagues. They both worked in the Hanlin Academy and were once the emperor's tutors. I heard that they got along well when they were colleagues. That's all I have to say. The rest depends on your personal efforts."

"Your Excellency's behavior is really embarrassing. It is clearly the job of the Ministry of Justice, but you pushed it onto our Tianlao. As the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, you should not have corrected it, but you actually added fuel to the fire and encouraged this kind of atmosphere." Chen Guanlou didn't control his mouth and scolded the other party.

He was really unhappy!

"How dare you!"

Sun Daoning had to save face.

Because of his face, he was particularly angry.

"Chen Guanlou, did I give you face? You are so presumptuous! My politeness to you has become your confidence to ridicule me. Do you really think I won't deal with you?"

"Then please deal with me, my lord. I just want to get rid of this damn job. The outbreak of the disease in the prison has nothing to do with me. You can find someone to deal with it." Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to give up.

Others are afraid of the crazy woman of Princess Qingyang, but isn't he afraid?

He doesn't want to deal with the crazy woman either.

Sun Daoning was very angry. If it weren't for years of cultivation, he would really break down on the spot.

"You...you are so presumptuous in front of me. Isn't it right for me to reprimand you? I am a third-rank court official and a senior official in the ministry. You just listen to me when I reprimand you. You actually got angry and wanted to give up. How shameless."

This show of weakness was a bit awkward and unnatural.

Chen Guanlou was a little surprised.

I never expected that Minister Sun was so flexible and showed weakness to a small jailer like him. It's rare!

Never mind!

Let's be merciful.

"You should approve a note for me first."

"I can't approve it. I'm in charge of criminal cases. You have to ask Lord Wu for logistical matters like this. He's the right minister, and he's in charge of all these. I can't interfere in his affairs. This is the rule."

Chen Guanlou: ...

He and Lord Wu don't have any friendship, and they've never even met or spoken to each other. He's not a respectable person. How can he get Lord Wu to approve a note?

"I don't know Lord Wu. Lord Sun, can you please help me and ask Lord Wu to approve a note?"

"It's really impossible. Lord Wu's temper... Anyway, he will definitely not take the risk of offending the Princess' Mansion to approve a note for you. Even if I come forward, it will be useless. Everyone in the Ministry of Justice knows this very well. If you don't believe it, you can ask your acquaintances to find out the truth."

"The implication is that the Ministry of Justice can't get it through."

"It really can't get through. You should find a way on your own. As long as the Princess' Mansion nods, the Ministry of Justice will immediately draw up a plan. Since the smell has come out, you should hurry up. I heard from the people in the Imperial Observatory that the temperature may rise in a few days."

Heat up!

It's terrible!

"Your punishment department is really not afraid of epidemics in Tianlao!"

"I think the epidemic in winter can be controlled. So no one is afraid."

The implication is that if an epidemic really breaks out, just lock the door of Tianlao, not allowing anyone to enter or exit, and let everyone inside Tianlao fend for themselves.

Very vicious.

Chen Guanlou returned empty-handed, went directly to the prison, found Xie Changling, and explained his purpose.

"You mean Su Zishi?"

Su Keqing's famous name is Su Zishi.

"Exactly this person. Jiang Fangxiu had a grudge against him. Now that Jiang is dead, the Princess Mansion has not said anything, and the Ministry of Punishments dare not make any plans. The body can only be kept in the Tianlao morgue. You smell it It tastes good. If this continues, sooner or later an epidemic will break out and everyone will die if the prison is locked from the outside."

Xie Changling laughed when he heard this, "It is really the consistent style of the Ministry of Justice. If the problem cannot be solved, everyone will die. I and Su Zishi were indeed colleagues in the past. I admire his knowledge. With such a life experience "You can learn from such an environment and have extraordinary talents. It's a pity that if you are not lucky, you will encounter catastrophes when you are young, and you will encounter catastrophes again as an adult."

"Then can you contact Su Zishi? Can you make him accommodating? No matter what the grudge is, Jiang Fangxiu is dead."

"There is no problem in contacting him, but it is uncertain whether he is willing to give me face. When he was in trouble, I did not help him. If he holds a grudge, it will be a disservice."
