At first, Chen Guanlou felt angry about Wang Qiren's disappearance, feeling that he had been played by Zhang Daohe. He also had to spend a lot of time and money to find the corpse and clean up the aftermath, which was almost exposed. I also thought about strictly investigating internal agents. But later, he gave up on the idea. Internal response? ! From top to bottom in Tianlao, everyone is an insider. Privately, almost every prison guard has secretly collected money from prisoners, secretly helped the prisoners pass news inside and outside, or run errands and other things. This is called extra money! A jailer who has never made any extra money is definitely not a qualified jailer. The jailer of Tianlao is of low status, greedy for money, and addicted to gambling. He has all five vices, but he is also the favorite high-quality customer of the gambling house. With a fixed income every month and a lot of extra money, you don’t have to worry about bad debts. It has been stable for a long time, and the gambling house loves these jail guards to death. None of the jailers in the imperial prison next door were so popular. After all, there are Jin Yiwei behind the prison, and gambling houses are most afraid of dealing with people from Jin Yiwei. Even when dealing with the jailers, he was very cautious in what he said and did, for fear that if he said something wrong or did something wrong, it would be spread to the ears of Jin Yiwei and become a source of leverage.
The Tianlao jailer did not have the habit of secretly reporting to the Six Doors. He came in money quickly and was willing to gamble. If you lose money in gambling, you can make back the lost money by accepting two more orders for extra money. Under such circumstances, if you investigate internal affairs, you must be prepared to turn the A-shaped prison upside down, which is not conducive to internal stability or work. He is a jailer, not a jailer, let alone an officer in charge, so why should he worry about it. Besides, the Ministry of Punishment was well aware of the situation in Tianlao, but had never investigated the internal affairs, so why would he break the rules by doing something unnecessary. Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. He didn't want to have to guard against someone poisoning him while eating and drinking. Even if no one poisons it, spitting in the water is disgusting enough. What's more, I don't want to come home in the middle of the night and suddenly there is a female body under the quilt. The jailer is very vindictive and has enough means to retaliate against others. Hello, hello, hello, everyone, people are carrying people in sedan chairs. This is the attitude you should have when eating public meals. He is not a passionate reformer like Zhao Mingqiao, nor a careerist like Yu Zhaoan. Xiao Jin was sure that Chen Guanlou didn't want to investigate the internal affairs, and seemed to be secretly relieved. Chen Guanlou glanced at the other party, maybe Xiao Jin was someone's internal agent, secretly collecting other people's money and doing errands and helping people spread messages. Why bother to delve deeper. He laughed, waved his hand, and dismissed Xiao Jin. When he had nothing to do, he went down from the prison and came to Xie Changling's cell door. He told him, "When Yu Zhaoan first became prime minister, the first earth-shaking thing he did was to discuss how to annihilate the King of Chu at a small court meeting. , Impeachment of King Zhong. How does Mr. Xie feel after hearing this news?” Xie Changling:...... His expression looked a little dazed, as if he was still immersed in the book and had not come back to his senses. After a pause, he slowly said: "As Prime Minister Yu, he is free to impeach whoever he wants. Even Prime Minister Li can't control it, so what can I do. As for King Zhong, he is still free after all. There is no shortage of counselors, so it’s not my turn to worry.” Huh? This attitude is really surprising.
"You don't seem to be surprised at all about the impeachment of King Zhong. Could it be that you already knew about this?" Chen Guanlou guessed. Xie Changling wanted to correspond with Yu Zhaoan before and asked him to help deliver it, but he didn't agree. He didn't pay attention afterwards. Now it seems that the two of them must be getting along in private. "Is it possible that you asked Yu Zhaoan to impeach Prince Zhong?" Chen Guanlou made a bold guess and used his imagination wildly. For these smart people, their approach is to let their imagination run wild. It is absolutely wrong to speculate based on the behavior of ordinary people. The freed-up imagination may be able to catch up with the deep thoughts of these smart people. Xie Changling raised his eyebrows and sneered, "How can I make Yu Xiang listen to me? Prisoner Chen, you have dealt with Yu Xiang, you should know what kind of person he is. Do you think I am qualified to make him listen to me?" Do you listen to me?" This, um, makes sense. A person as conceited as Yu Zhaoan would never be influenced by others. but…… Just be afraid of everything. "There is no way to convince Xiang to listen to you. As long as it is in his interests, he has no reason to reject you." Chen Guanlou said this. Xie Changling spread his hands and said, "My hands are empty and I can't protect myself. How can I impress the Prime Minister? Prisoner Chen, please don't guess. Your guess is really laughable, even though it is very creative." As for the impeachment of King Zhong, this is something that will happen sooner or later. When Yu Xiang first became Prime Minister, and it happened that the King of Chu started to rebel, he had to come up with something to show off his abilities and please His Majesty. Is there anything more worthy of doing than impeaching King Zhong. After all, if the King of Chu raised an army to rebel, he could still have some relationship with King Zhong. If King Zhong had not been deposed, King Chu would naturally not dare to move. Your Majesty is narrow-minded and will never admit that it was his own fault that prompted King Chu to rebel. Who will bear this responsibility? Except for King Zhong, no one else can be found. In other words, sooner or later, Your Majesty will place the responsibility for King Chu's rebellion on King Zhong. Yu Xiang was just one step ahead. " "Did you know that King Chu would cause trouble?" "If I could foretell, how could King Zhong be deposed?" Xie Changling laughed angrily, "If I could foretell, the person sitting on the dragon throne at this moment should be King Zhong, and I am the youngest prime minister of the dynasty. ” He looked much more lively when he was angry, no longer the dead man before. Chen Guanlou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Xie Changling would secretly commit suicide before, but now it seems that he was overthinking. "You are jealous of Yu Zhaoan?" He teased as if he had discovered a secret: "Sir Xie, you are the top scholar. Yu Zhaoan is only a second-place scholar. And you are only in your early thirties." Xie Changling snorted coldly, "Can't I be a prime minister in my early thirties? Am I worse than those old men in the court? Except for my qualifications, I am better than them in everything." The self-confidence of the academic god is unmatched. "The old men you mentioned are also top scholars, second and third place scholars, not worse than you." Chen Guanlou complained. "But they are out of date." Xie Changling said sarcastically, "They are old stubborn and old-fashioned. The court is like a stagnant pool of water. No wonder they are suppressed by His Majesty. They even played a military coup to depose the crown prince, such a ridiculous thing. They actually succeeded. Chen, you are also a scholar. Have you ever seen a military coup to depose the crown prince in official history or unofficial history? Have you ever seen an incompetent prime minister like Li Liangcheng? Not only was he played around by His Majesty, but he was also unable to fight back when His Majesty wanted to depose the crown prince. What a bunch of trash!" Xie Changling was so angry that his nostrils flared slightly. He punched the wall with his fist and got covered in wall dust.
