"Does that mean he came here to issue a gag order under the pretext of visiting?"
"That's right!"
"The Ministry of Works has a big problem!" Chen Guanlou sighed. The problem is so big that the Minister of the Imperial Court has to personally go to the prison to issue a gag order.
Let's make a bold guess that the mudslide in the imperial mausoleum was largely caused by human factors.
People can't stand being investigated.
Once the Jinyiwei came to interrogate these criminals, I'm afraid some of them would not be able to withstand the torture and would confess the matter.
This means that if Chen Guanfu wants to keep the secret, he must act before the Jinyiwei is ordered to investigate the case. He wants everyone to die!
Damn it!
"Arrange someone to keep an eye on these criminals from the Ministry of Works, don't let them die!"
"Your Excellency is worried..."
"I'm not worried about anything. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, the dead are likely to cause epidemics, and we must guard against it strictly. We can save the quota and wait for winter to die."
Such a rude sentence, Chen Quan was so stimulated that he didn't know how to respond, and could only obey orders.
He was worried that Chen Guanfu would mess up, so he was always on guard against people from the Ministry of Works and the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion invited him to dinner, but he made an excuse not to go, and only asked his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan to represent him and send a gift.
Early in the morning, an uninvited guest came to the Tianlao.
The jailer at the gate blinked his eyes, showing his yellow teeth and laughing, and his smile was inherently vulgar. That look, that expression, everyone knows.
Chen Guanlou also understood immediately, "Woman?"
"You can't hide anything from you, sir. The young lady specifically wants to see you. Such a delicate young lady can't be left waiting outside in such a hot day. I dare to invite her to the next room to rest. Do you want to see her?"
Chen Guanlou kicked the doorman and jailer, "Invite her to the office later."
"I will go and invite her right away!"
Bastard!
I said wait, wait, wait, but I only heard the word please, not wait. My ears are selectively deaf. A bunch of bastards who are tempted by beauty!
He walked into the office and had just had a cup of hot tea when the doorman invited the young lady in.
She was indeed a delicate beauty, in the best years of a woman, in her early twenties, neither familiar nor unfamiliar, half-familiar. Her eyes were full of affection, and every frown and smile revealed a feminine charm.
"Madam, what's your name?"
"My Lord, my husband's surname is Ma, and my maiden's surname is Qin."
It turned out to be Ma Qinshi.
"I don't know why Madam Ma came to the Tianlao. The Tianlao is a filthy place, why don't you have someone to serve you?"
I don't know which sentence touched the other party's sore spot.
Ma Qinshi took out a handkerchief, sobbing and wiping her tears.
"I really have no choice, please save my husband. As long as he can be rescued, anything is fine."
Hey hey hey...
Speak nicely, don't flirt, okay. It's easy to cause misunderstandings. It will give people the illusion that they can get whatever they want and take her right away.
Chen Guanlou couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart when seeing her seductive eyes.
This woman is not simple.
Could she be a woman who has turned over a new leaf?
"Who is your husband?"
"To be honest, my husband is Ma Man, a doctor in the Ministry of Works who was recently imprisoned."
Ah!
"It turns out to be the wife of Mr. Ma, how disrespectful!"
Ma Man, this bastard, must be in his early forties, with a horse face that matches his surname. I didn't expect that the woman he married is so pretty. However, the age gap is really a bit big.
Could it be a second wife?
A concubine was promoted to the first wife?
A concubine was favored and his wife was killed?
Or did his wife die early in his life?
"You are too polite, sir."
"Madam and Master Ma, are you from the same hometown? I see that you are well-spoken, so I would like to ask you where your hometown is. Are all the girls in your hometown like you? Many of my brothers have not yet married, and I am really worried about them!"
Ma Qin covered her face with a handkerchief and smiled shyly, "You are joking, sir. My husband and I are not from the same hometown. We met in the capital. My husband has a hard life. When he was young, his family fell into poverty and he suffered a lot, but he never changed his ambition and studied hard, which led to everything he has today.
I also want to thank the first lady for taking good care of my husband. It's a pity that the first lady was not lucky enough to enjoy it. My husband passed away a few years after he passed the imperial examination. I admired my husband's talent, so my family asked a matchmaker to marry me as a successor!"
Oh!
Chen Guanlou was half-believing and half-doubting, so he just listened to it.
"May I ask what your family does for a living?"
"We do some small business, selling goods from the south to the north, but we don't make much money."
The difference between the family backgrounds of court officials and merchant girls is quite large!
Wait...
How come these ugly guys can marry beautiful women as their second wives? He is a first-time marriage, why can't he meet one?
Li Dahong, and now there is another Ma Man!
This is too much!
How did you meet such a beautiful young lady?
Is Ma Qinshi really a young lady from a merchant family? This demeanor, this speech and behavior, don't seem like it!
"Madam, why are you here today? Don't worry, Lord Ma is imprisoned in Tianlao, everything is fine."
Ma Qinshi burst into tears again in an instant, she is also a powerful person, tears fall as soon as they are said. The key is that she looks beautiful when she cries! This method is used to deal with men, ten and a half men will fall for it.
The remaining half, that is, Chen Guanlou, is used to beauty and is unmoved.
Only when there is no woman in your heart can you become a true god!
Only when there is a woman by your side can you be a real man!
Ma Qin cried and said, "Sir, I heard that you are very capable. Can you help my husband? My husband is innocent. He was originally working in the Ministry of Works and was not responsible for supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum. He went to the imperial mausoleum just on a business trip. Who would have thought that there would be continuous heavy rains and the road was blocked, so he was forced to stay on the construction site.
When the mudslide occurred, all officials of the Ministry of Works were arrested, including my husband. But he is really innocent! He is not on the list of supervisors at all. He was just on a business trip. Why did they arrest him?"
"No! His name is clearly on the list. He is a member of the supervisor. Madam Ma, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"What I said is true. He goes home to rest every day. How could he supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum? The imperial mausoleum is nearly 200 miles away from Beijing. It is impossible for a civil servant to go back and forth every day."
It makes sense.
But it is none of his business.
He is only responsible for guarding the prisoners, not for trying the case.
"Madam, if what you said is true, you should go to the officials of the Ministry of Industry and explain the matter to them, so that there will be a chance to overturn the verdict."
"I went, but it was useless." Ma Qin cried miserably, but her makeup was not smudged at all. Could it be that she was not wearing makeup?
Chen Guanlou was a little confused, but she looked very beautiful anyway.
"You are the only one in the Ma family, aren't the others?" He asked curiously.
Ma Qin gently wiped away her tears, "To be honest, sir, for many reasons, my husband had a conflict with the people in his hometown. My husband is in trouble, and I have sent a letter back to the Ma family, hoping that someone will come, but it will take time."
"Doesn't Ma have a child? The lady in front has no children either?"
"The lady in front gave birth to a daughter, and the daughter has married. My husband and I have been married for only three years, but unfortunately, we have no children. My life is so miserable!"
Cried again!
