"Your Majesty, calm down! Is there any misunderstanding here?" "No misunderstanding. I know Yu Zhaoan's temper very well. The court officials all mistakenly thought that Yu Zhaoan would take care of me and make plans for me. Little did they know that this man is a completely selfish person. If there is not enough interest to impress him, he will not give face to anyone." The King of Jin gritted his teeth and hated it very much. He really couldn't understand why Yu Zhaoan, who had just become the prime minister, would come out to impeach the King of Zhong at such an important moment? The King of Zhong had already been abolished, so what was the point of impeaching him. What a waste of paper. It would be better to impeach the rebel King of Chu, win the identity of the leader who defeated the King of Chu, take the opportunity to take charge of the matter of suppressing the rebels, hold military power and financial power, and call the wind and rain. It sounds like a daydream, but the King of Jin thought that if Yu Zhaoan was willing, he would have a chance to do it. It has always been like this. As long as Yu Zhaoan wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do. Even if everyone is not optimistic and everyone thinks it is a fantasy, Yu Zhaoan still has the ability to achieve his goal. "Does the prince want to apologize?" The counselor asked softly, "Severance of relationship with Yu Xiang in time." The King of Jin held his forehead and frowned in thought. "If I apologize, will my father think that I am trying to cover up and hiding something shameful?" This...
It is very likely. After all, the old emperor has reached the late stage of paranoia, which is a recognized fact. "Should I not react and watch Yu Zhaoan ruin the prince's reputation?" "How about the prince go to the palace and apologize to His Majesty in person." "This will only make the king look guilty." The King of Jin was very angry. Yu Zhaoan gave him a big problem. It was a dilemma. He could neither advance nor retreat. "Should we ask the princess to come to the palace and talk to the queen. Let the queen come forward and negotiate for the prince?" "Your Majesty has not been to the harem for a long time. The concubines in the harem are not allowed to enter the Taiji Palace without permission." Obviously, the harem strategy is not feasible in reality. The King of Jin was irritated and waved his hand, "Stop talking. Let me think about it." "Your Majesty, why don't you invite Yu Xiang to your mansion and have a good chat." "This is a good plan. However, the palace is not suitable, and Yu Xiang will definitely not come. It's better to meet outside, preferably in disguise." The King of Jin nodded secretly and approved the counselor's method. It is indeed time to meet Yu Zhaoan and have a good talk. It doesn't matter if Yu Zhaoan wants to go crazy. But don't drag him into the water. He is indeed eyeing that position, but it doesn't mean he wants to be the first bird. There are so many brothers, let the other brothers rush first, and he will wave the flag and shout behind to observe the situation, and then it will not be too late to take action. Judging from the old man's health, he can probably live for several more years. If he runs out in a hurry now, he will easily become cannon fodder. Prince Zhong is the best example. He is the eldest son of the family, and he has not made any unforgivable mistakes. He was abolished just like that. He is just one of the many princes, and he will not be so arrogant as to think that he has a better chance than Prince Zhong. Of course, if he has the opportunity to step on Prince Zhong, he will definitely step on him hard.
Chen Guanlou is drinking tea in the office. There is a basin of ice in the room to cool down, and he has a bowl of iced mung bean soup in his hand, which is very refreshing. Xiao Jin came in from outside, with a hot summer. He squatted in front of the ice basin and fanned himself hard. "It's still comfortable here, Boss." "The duty room downstairs is also quite cool." Chen Guanlou flipped through the outdated court newspaper and read it with relish. Half of the duty room is underground, pulling the ground air, which is quite cool. It's just too cold, and it's not good for your health to stay in such an environment for a long time. Don't blame the jailers for being lazy. They are here to make money, not to die. It is normal to sneak out and bask in the sun after completing the basic patrol task. "No matter how cool the duty room is, it is not as cool as the boss's office." Xiao Jin laughed. Chen Guanlou hummed, "Are the prisoners okay?" "Don't worry, boss, the prisoners have adapted well. Only Zhang Wenfu is still having diarrhea. The doctor changed the prescription, but the effect is not very good." "He is under too much mental pressure, which is reflected in his diarrhea. Don't worry about him. Over time, when he completely adapts to the environment, he will improve. Is there anything else?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party and clearly saw that the other party was hesitant to speak. Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not." "What can't be said. Say it." Chen Guanlou motioned to the other party to close the doors and windows to prevent someone from breaking in. After Xiao Jin closed the doors and windows, he said carefully: "Regarding the unknown prisoner deep in the Tianlao, the errand boy who was in charge of delivering food explained some things." "What is it?" "Someone secretly visited the unknown prisoner." Someone secretly visited Wang Qiren? Chen Guanlou waved his hand and asked Xiao Jin to tell the details. "According to the errand boy's recollection, there were two times in total. I checked the time. One time was when the religious bandit Zhang Daohe was imprisoned in Tianlao. The errand boy went to deliver food and found that the unknown prisoner had oily spots on his mouth. Obviously, someone secretly visited the unknown prisoner and brought him food. Another time was seven or eight days before the unknown prisoner passed away. The errand boy found a clear palm print on the railing. Boss, there is a traitor among us." "Don't say it so harshly. There are no traitors in our team. At most, there are a few insiders who are paid to do things." Chen Guanlou corrected Xiao Jin's statement lightly. Xiao Jin was a little confused and asked carefully: "Boss, do you mean that this matter will not be pursued?" "Everyone is dead, what do you want to pursue? Don't make things more complicated. There are so many jailors in the sky prison, ask who hasn't paid privately to help deliver news and give special care to a certain prisoner?" Chen Guanlou picked up the bowl and drank the remaining iced mung bean soup in one gulp. "It's impossible to investigate the internal affairs. The Tianlao is a place where all kinds of sects and sects are imprisoned, harboring all kinds of dirty deeds. You can just turn a blind eye to some things. If you really want to investigate, how are you going to investigate?" "The younger one checked the schedule and screened out more than 20 names. If the boss wants to check, he should start with these people." Chen Guanlou hooked his hand, and Xiao Jin immediately handed over the list. Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar names, Chen Guanlou burned and destroyed the list in front of Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin both understood and didn't understand.
Chen Guanlou said to him, "You are now the squad leader. Your mission is to take good care of the prisoners under your command, take care of your jailers and your one-third of an acre of land, and hand over the money in full and on time. Let's work together Get rich. Don’t do unnecessary things. Internal response, hehe, Tianlao is like a sieve. Without internal response, it would be abnormal. If you want to investigate, what if you find someone suspicious? How will you deal with the aftermath? This job in Tianlao is both safe and dangerous. I hope everyone can live in peace until old age.
