Sun Daoning pondered for a moment and said, "All in all, these are not the reasons for you to ask Zhu Ruhai for money. The higher-ups have not decided whether to touch the Earl's Mansion, and the case is currently being handled in a low-key manner. You acted on your own and ruined the big thing, do you understand?"

"The higher-ups touch the Earl's Mansion all the time, and there is no conflict with the Ministry of Justice handling Zhu Ruhai. Old Sun, you are narrowing your path. You can completely separate the two parties. The Earl's Mansion is the Earl's Mansion, and Zhu Ruhai is Zhu Ruhai. Just treat Zhu Ruhai as an ordinary prisoner, and do what you should do. No one dares to find fault with him."

Chen Guanlou gave the other party advice. The main purpose of his coming today was to nail Zhu Ruhai to the ground from the legal and official perspectives, so that the other party could not turn over. Giving money was just a side effect.

Using Zhu's money to deal with Zhu's case, perfect!

Of course, if there was no money, Sun Daoning would probably not pay any attention to him, let alone sit in the office and talk to him about Zhu Ruhai's case. He had already given an order to drive him out.

Money is the key.

"You think too simply. If you deal with Zhu Ruhai, the Earl's Mansion will definitely not play dumb and will definitely jump out."

"It's just right that he jumped out. His Majesty has only started the first of his three fires. If you can light the second fire, His Majesty will definitely remember you as a merit."

"What do you mean?" Sun Daoning looked at him in surprise, "You are a member of the Chen family."

"My last name is Chen, not Zhu."

"Do you have a grudge against the Earl's Mansion?"

"No grudge. I just don't like this old guy Zhu Ruhai."

"It's because he traffics in people, but his business is legal."

"Don't joke, Old Sun. We all know that most of his business is probably not legal. Legality is just a layer of his skin. If you peel off the top layer of skin, the truth below, you are an old hand, you can definitely imagine it. You have seen more of the evil of human nature than me."

Sun Daoning stopped talking, his expression looked very heavy, and his brows were tightly knitted.

Chen Guanlou saw that the other party was still hesitant and struggling, and it was difficult to make up his mind. Although this case might bring unimaginable huge benefits, Sun Daoning's temperament was relatively stable and he would not make a decision easily.

So, he continued to work hard.

"What are you afraid of, a mere Earl's Mansion? I tell you the truth, among the nobles, Cheng'en Earl's Mansion is just a poor family, no one looks down on it. However, in recent years, it has not gone downhill, but has become more and more luxurious. Have you ever thought about the reason? Cheng'en Earl's Mansion is full of rubbish, where does it get so much money to continue to live a life of luxury and debauchery?

I briefly learned that Zhu Ruhai has been supplying money to Cheng'en Earl's Mansion. He single-handedly supports the Earl's Mansion's luxurious life. How great is his ability and how big is his business.

Can the scale of the business you have found so far provide for the expenses of the Earl's Mansion? Definitely not. It is conceivable that the scale of the dirty hidden under the legal business is so large. Such a big case is placed in front of you, and you, as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the future Minister of the Ministry of Justice, are indifferent. Old Sun, you are so disappointing."

Chen Guanlou's analysis and disappointing remarks made Sun Daoning's face change repeatedly, from blue to white, and then from white to purple.

After a long while, he finally said, "Where did you hear that I was going to be promoted to the Minister of Justice? You made it sound so real, how would I deal with it if it got out?"

Chen Guanlou chuckled, "Old Sun, why do you need to cover up something you know so well?"

Humph!

Sun Daoning snorted, "Do you hate Zhu Ruhai so much?"

"Don't you hate a human trafficker?"

"You should hate him." Sun Daoning took another sip of the remaining tea, suppressed his complicated emotions, and tried to calm down.

"Don't worry about whether the Earl's Mansion is a ruined place or not. This is about the nobles, and we must get the order from above. We must not act on our own. If we go against His Majesty's will, we will end up making things worse. We still don't know His Majesty's true attitude towards the nobles, so don't make things worse."

"Okay, we won't touch the Earl's Mansion. We will only touch Zhu Ruhai. He is just a commoner, so it's okay to touch him. He has so much money, doesn't the Ministry of Justice want to take the opportunity to confiscate his property and make a fortune? If this case is taken away by the Jinyiwei next door, let alone making a fortune, they will even be unable to catch up with the shit."

" Vulgar!" Sun Daoning scolded softly, "You are now an official appointed by the court. Although you are just a small official, you have a rank after all. People who have read books should speak more elegantly."

"Yes, yes, I listen to you, speak more elegantly. Not to mention eating shit, the Ministry of Justice can't even drink the northwest wind after following the Jinyiwei, this is okay. You don't handle the case you have, what are you thinking. Why are you so cowardly!"

"How dare you! Watch your words and attitude." Sun Daoning was angry, put on an official air, and scolded softly.

Chen Guanlou hummed and perfunctorily said it, not taking the other party's words to heart at all, and stared at the case, "Zhu Ruhai, are you going to do it or not? If you don't, I will find the Jinyiwei next door. Jinyiwei is bold and must not be afraid of trouble. I have met Xiao Jincheng of Jinyiwei a few times. Let's make an appointment, maybe we can make an appointment."

"Nonsense! As the chief of Tianlao, how can you collude with Jinyiwei. You are a traitor."

Sun Daoning scolded loudly, feeling heartbroken, as if Chen Guanlou had committed an unforgivable crime.

Chen Guanlou hummed, "I thought the two families were brother units, how could I become a traitor."

"It's good that you know. In short, Zhu Ruhai's case can only be handled by the Ministry of Justice."

"So are you going to do it or not? The money is here, Old Sun, be frank and tell the truth. You make the decision on the case, and no one will stop you if you decide to do it."

Chen Guanlou gestured with his eyes to look at the banknotes on the table. They were real gold and silver. Don’t you want them?

Sun Daoning laughed angrily, "You used Zhu Ruhai's money to ask me to deal with Zhu Ruhai. If the man named Zhu knew that you were so plotting against him, do you think he would find a way to kill you."

"I'm worried about my hands being itchy recently, and I'm hoping that he will come and kill me so that I can practice my hands." Chen Guanlou said with an indifferent attitude.

Sun Daoning stared at the banknotes on the table and thought about it.

Chen Guanlou gave him an idea, "Old Sun, you should think about the problem from another angle. It is obvious that Zhu Ruhai is the financial source of the Earl's Mansion. Taking care of Zhu Ruhai is equivalent to cutting off the financial resources of the Earl's Mansion. Without the money, the Earl's Mansion will be gone. The defeat is not far away. At that time, no matter what the Earl's Palace fights with you, it will not be able to protect itself. At that time, if you beat the fallen dog, you will be successful and even have a name in history. "

After a while, Sun Daoning let out a long breath, and the muscles on his cheeks jumped twice, "Okay, let's deal with Zhu Ruhai first."

Chen Guanlou was overjoyed and said, "Old Sun, you have finally figured it out."

In fact, what really moved Sun Daoning was Chen Guanlou's last words: leave a name in history.

Names during and after death.

Regardless of whether they are civil servants or military generals, they cannot escape the trap of having a good name during their lifetime. Leaving a name in history is more intoxicating than power, money, and beauty, and can make people want to die and be unable to stop. How many people have gone crazy all their lives, struggled all their lives, worked hard all their lives, and ignored life and death, just for these four words.

Compared with Qingshi's name, the Earl's Mansion is nothing.
