"Got it!"
After much effort, Lu Datou finally found the record, "The two drank together in the restaurant on the night of the 13th. Because we only checked their whereabouts for the past ten days, there is only one record."
Chen Guanlou slapped the table and said excitedly, "I knew that the two had colluded in private."
"This doesn't prove that there is something wrong with them. Lord Prison Warden, if I were to say, let's just forget about it. Now that things have come to this, it's not good for anyone to open the lid. It's better to be a fool."
Medical Officer Mu has been in Tianlao for many years, and what he is best at is being a fool and doing smart things.
As a medical officer, he has seen and heard countless secrets. He has been able to live safely to this day, all thanks to the four words "rarely confused".
Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Who said I was going to open the lid! You misunderstood me. Lu Datou, you have done a great job this time, go to Qian Fugui to withdraw the money."
"Thank you, brother! You are so kind. Next time there is a similar task, call me again, I promise to complete it!"
Lu Datou left happily.
Chen Guanlou did not talk to Xiao Jin and Chen Guanxu, nor did he cause trouble for them, just pretending that nothing had happened.
He went directly to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Daoning.
Sun Daoning took a detour when he saw him. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he said bluntly: "I am busy with government affairs. If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out."
"Those officials in the Ministry of Works..."
"What officials? The case has been closed. What else is there to worry about?"
"Seven or eight people died in one night, Old Sun, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
"Who is pretending to be stupid? Don't talk nonsense. Little bastard, don't take advantage of my respect for you and act unruly all day long. The family members didn't pursue it, the Ministry of Works didn't pursue it, the Censorate didn't ask about it, the Dali Temple didn't say anything, and even the Jinyiwei didn't make any move. Why do you care?"
Sun Daoning's words made a lot of sense.
The various government offices rarely reached a united front and kept silent, pretending that this matter had never happened.
He is just a small prison warden, why should he care?
He has crossed the line!
"It happened on my territory, so it's not too much for me to ask a few questions."
"Not too much at all, what do you want to ask? What do you want to know?"
Chen Guanlou didn't hesitate to ask directly, "What is your Majesty's attitude? The official in charge of supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum is dead, and your Majesty has no reaction?"
"These people deserved to die. Your Majesty was so happy when he heard about it. Let me tell you another piece of news. All the people in the Imperial Observatory have died. They died in the imperial prison, and they also died overnight. You see, even the Imperial Observatory kept their mouths shut and didn't ask about this matter."
Sun Daoning spread his hands.
Chen Guanlou heard a tacit understanding from the other party's words, a tacit understanding between officials and government offices.
The mudslide in the imperial mausoleum's auspicious soil was buried from now on, and no one was allowed to mention it, just as if it had never happened. Whoever mentioned it would be a traitor, betraying the entire bureaucratic class, and would be expelled from the class team, cut off from the official career, and cut off from the literati.
Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, full of sarcasm.
Sun Daoning couldn't stand the sarcasm and criticized harshly: "You are too naive!"
"It's not that I am naive, but you are really too daring to think and do! I admire you!"
"Humph!" Sun Daoning was very dissatisfied, "Instead of asking me, you might as well go back and ask the prince of the Marquis' Mansion what he wants to do."
"I won't ask him, I'll ask you. Which one of the A-shaped prisons is your spy? Tell me, and the matter will be over."
"Since it is a spy, of course I can't tell you. You should give up this idea. Go back and do your job well, otherwise you will be charged with dereliction of duty."
Chen Guanlou asked: "So, you did plant a spy in the A-shaped prison. This accident, accident, could it be arranged by you?"
"Xiu is talking nonsense! Get out of here, I am busy every day, how can I have time to chat with you. If you are so curious, read a few more vernacular novels to satisfy your curiosity, don't come to harass me."
Sun Daoning's attitude was tough.
Chen Guanlou's attempts were fruitless, and he could not get a single word out of him, so he could only say goodbye and leave.
It is not difficult to verify the suspicion in his heart.
In June, Chen Guanxu received a transfer order, and was transferred from Tianlao to Liushenmen to work. This promotion was from a clerk to an official. The next step should be to be promoted to an official in the Ministry of Justice.
This promotion speed broke the record of Tianlao in history. Not to mention Chen Guanlou was shocked, everyone in Tianlao was talking about it.
Having a good background, the life path is indeed different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary people can sit in the office chair for a lifetime without moving.
People with a good background only need three or two months to start the ascension mode.
In the whole prison, only Doctor Mu dared to tease Chen Guanlou, "Your brothers have all been promoted, Lord Prison Chief, when will it be your turn to be promoted?"
"If I wanted to get promoted and make money, I would have been promoted eight hundred years ago. Why should I envy others here? Everyone has his own ambitions, he has his own way, and I have my choice."
On the last day of work, Chen Guanlou prepared a banquet in the office to entertain Chen Guanxu and wish him a promotion.
Chen Guanxu happily accepted the invitation, still looking steady and generous, speaking humorously and with discretion.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes.
Chen Guanlou suddenly asked unexpectedly, "Did you arrange Xiao Jin to kill the criminal official from the Ministry of Works?"
"I..." Chen Guanxu's smile froze on his face. He put down the wine glass and wiped his face, "What did you say just now, killing someone? I didn't understand."
Haha!
Chen Guanlou sneered twice, "You heard my question clearly. It was you who did it."
"What did I do?" Chen Guanxu picked up the wine glass again, with a smile in his eyes. His attitude was very firm, with a hint of provocation, "I really don't understand. Brother Lou, why don't you make it clearer."
Chen Guanlou smiled coldly and cursed calmly: "Get out of here! As soon as you come to my prison, you will stir up trouble and rain. What kind of place is the prison? Is it a place where you can run wild? For the sake of our surname Chen, I won’t argue with you next time.”
"Brother Lou can't talk nonsense without evidence."
"Are you sure you want me to produce evidence?" Chen Guanlou half-smiled, "If you force me to produce evidence, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences. If I take action, someone must die! You decide who dies, okay?" "
Chen Guanxu's smile froze again. He put down the wine glass with trembling hands and laughed awkwardly, "Brother Lou, I'm just kidding. I fully understand what you mean. I'll say goodbye! I will try not to disturb you."
"You'd better keep your word. Tell the old guy, next time you want to arrange for someone to come over, think about the consequences first. Everything must be done one by one! Even if we have the same surname, I will never show mercy when it's time to kill."
