"Reporting to Taifu, according to the rules of Tianlao, everyone who comes in must pay a sum of silver for shelter. It's not much, just six hundred taels." Chen Guanlou stood up. It is the duty of subordinates to share the worries of superiors. Seeing Sun Daoning picking his toes in embarrassment, he was afraid that the other party would take his anger to the prison and cause trouble for everyone, such as increasing the commission again, so he boldly stood up. Even if it is a big scapegoat, he must bear it down. He believed that as long as he took the blame and rescued Sun Daoning, Sun Daoning would definitely repay him. "Six hundred taels? It's really not that much." Taifu Zhuang nodded, "If I pay the money, will the jailer not embarrass the prisoner?" Mr. Zhuang seems to have a strong thirst for knowledge and likes to get to the bottom of things. Chen Guanlou glanced at Sun Daoning and saw that the other party had no hint, so he said selectively: "Without instructions from above, the jailer will not embarrass the prisoner." "Haha..." Zhuang Taifu laughed loudly, obviously seeing through the mystery hidden in Chen Guanlou's words. "So, do I have to pay twice as much to live in such a good cell?" Taifu Zhuang seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult, always asking questions under the table.
Chen Guanlou felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he had to speak, "Your Majesty Taifu, we and the jailers have been beaten. Your Majesty, Taifu, has worked hard for the court and your majesty. Now we are in trouble. Although we, the jailors, are humble, we still have a heart." A mind that knows right from wrong.” "Well said! You jailers can distinguish right from wrong, but the princes in the court only know how to behave." The Taifu's temper got worse, and he cursed indiscriminately when he opened his mouth. In his opinion, the prince's current situation was directly related to the inaction of the courtiers. Sun Daoning pinched his nose to hide his inner embarrassment and disapproval, and opened his mouth to say: "Master, calm down! The atmosphere of the court is not something that can be achieved in a day, and it will get better in the future." "How can it be better if you have Jiang Tu and this beast causing trouble in the court? Mr. Sun, your punishment department is too incompetent." As expected, Taifu Zhuang attacked indiscriminately. Sun Daoning laughed along with him, "The Criminal Department also has the same difficulties as the Criminal Department. We can't open cases and investigate people for no reason. It's not as good as the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But even the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't investigate whoever it wants." The Metropolitan Procuratorate could impeach any official at will, and even the emperor was within their reach. However, impeachment does not mean filing a case or judicial intervention. At this level, no one can check any official at will without the emperor's nod. However, the impeachment of the censor is still a strong deterrent. Once your reputation becomes bad, you will fall from the sky to the eighteenth level of hell with just one opportunity. Taifu Zhuang snorted coldly, obviously not agreeing with Sun Daoning's evasive words. In his opinion, it was the inaction of the officials below that made the atmosphere in the court more degenerate. The old emperor was deceived by treacherous ministers, so that His Highness the Crown Prince was frustrated and wronged all the time. God is unfair! Sun Daoning didn't want to say anything more, so he found an excuse and hurriedly left the prison. Chen Guanlou locked the cell door himself, "If you have any needs, Grand Master, just give me an order. If you have any special taste, just let me know and let the kitchen make it." "Can you ask your servant to deliver meals every day?" Taifu Zhuang is a gourmet and is used to eating the food of his family's cook. He could endure everything else in the prison, but he wanted to make a small stove for food. "Well... Under normal circumstances, prisoners are not allowed to eat outside in Tianlao. One or two meals occasionally is fine, but delivering meals every day may not be appropriate. Is it possible to have your chef come to the Tianlao kitchen to cook for the Taifu alone? meal." Master Zhuang frowned, "Isn't it too troublesome?" Chen Guanlou said hurriedly: "No trouble, no trouble." Having people from the Zhuang Mansion deliver meals every day is the most troublesome thing. Who is responsible if something goes wrong with the food? Don't be afraid of anything like this, just be afraid of ten thousand. If there is a problem in any link in the process, Tianlao will not be able to escape its responsibility. The Tianlao kitchen purchases uniform meat and vegetables and seasonings every day, and the chefs of the Zhuang Mansion only need to prepare the meals for Master Zhuang, ensuring safety to the greatest extent. Even if there is still a problem with eating, at least there are traces in every step, and we can accurately identify where the problem is and who it is. The smaller the range, the shorter the transportation distance, the fewer opportunities for manipulation, and the easier it is to detect problems. Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and nodded decisively, "Then please tell the housekeeper in my house and ask him to arrange for the cook to cook in the Tianlao kitchen every day. If you need more money, just let me know. Tianlao has it. I understand the rules of the prison and won’t make it difficult for you.”
"Thank you, Master!" Chen Guanlou breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the Taifu is still very talkative and did not deliberately target the jailer. After arranging everything, Chen Guanlou went to the official room to meet with Niu Jiucheng to report the situation. Only then did he know that Sun Daoning did not leave after leaving the prison. "Xiao Chen, come quickly." Niu Jiucheng greeted him, "Master Sun has been waiting for you for a long time, come here quickly." Wait for him? Chen Guanlou was surprised, "I've seen Master Niu, I've seen Master Sun! I don't know what Master Sun and the others are doing." "Do you have anything to tell me?" Sun Daoning asked. "Taifu, his old man has a special appetite, so he applied for the Zhuang Mansion's cook to come to work in the Tianlao kitchen and cook three meals a day for him alone. Sir, please agree to this first, okay?" Chen Guan Lou's last sentence was to ask Niu Jiucheng for instructions. Niu Jiucheng looked at Sun Daoning. Sun Daoning pondered for a moment, "This matter is not a big problem. The diet of the Grand Tutor is the top priority. You must be careful and not let anything go wrong. If you find something wrong, you must report it immediately and don't have any fluke." "Yes!" Chen Guanlou thought so too. Grand Tutor Zhuang is the spiritual leader of the prince's party. It is not an exaggeration to call him the party leader. His safety is very important, which is why he refused the request for food delivery. Everything must be locked in the sky prison to ensure that everything is under control. Later, he will go to the kitchen and instruct the people in the kitchen. Keep a close eye on the chef of the Zhuang Mansion and don't let the chef bring any seasonings and ingredients from outside. It's not that he doesn't trust the chef of the Zhuang Mansion, but there are too many loopholes in the food. Sun Daoning suddenly waved his hand and asked Chen Guanlou to come closer. Chen Guanlou took two steps forward, "What do you want, sir?" Sun Daoning suddenly asked him, "If an accident really happens, what will you do?" Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly. What does this mean? While considering, he answered, "Report, block the news, and everyone stay where they are." "Yes, and no. You and Niu Yucheng can only report everything about the Grand Tutor to me." Hmm? Chen Guanlou stole a glance at Niu Yucheng. Niu Yucheng also frowned, thinking deeply about the meaning of the words. "Chen Guanlou, I am very optimistic about you." Sun Daoning suddenly played the warmth card, "I hope you won't let me down." Chen Guanlou became more and more confused, "Can you give me a clear indication, sir?" "You are so arrogant that you dare to ask me to give you a clear indication. There is no clear indication. I will just remind you that the safety of the Grand Tutor is related to your life and death." "Does anyone want the Grand Tutor to die in the Tianlao?" Chen Guanlou's words were earth-shattering. Niu Yucheng was so frightened that he fell off his chair with a loud noise.
