It is a well-known fact that the princess and her husband are not on good terms. However, even if they are not on good terms, they are still husband and wife, so how could they hate each other to the point of poisoning each other? It is even more absurd that neither of the two children is Zhu's. "Old Sun, didn't you notice that the princess's two children don't look like Zhu's husband?" "This is normal. Children can look like their parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents. I have even seen children who look like their great-grandfather. Don't joke about the princess's two children. You'd better be more measured when you speak. Today, I will pretend that I didn't hear these things, and don't tell anyone in the future, or you will get into trouble." "Old Sun, why don't you believe me?" "Why should I believe you?" Sun Daoning was furious. "Listen You've been talking nonsense, and I'm sorry for it. Don't talk nonsense anymore. As for Mr. Tian's case, you should bear it first. At least let the Princess' Mansion see the attitude of our Ministry of Justice. We will never tolerate those who make mistakes. We will compensate you after the matter is settled. " Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes immediately, "Old Sun, your ability to change with the wind is really amazing." "Can you speak? Can you speak?" Sun Daoning was so angry that his mouth was crooked. His lifelong dignity was ruined by Chen Guanlou. It's really infuriating! "I've told you that the Princess's Mansion will not support the Earl's Mansion, but you just don't believe me. It was the Princess's Mansion's steward who passed on the message, but it was just for the sake of face. From now on, you will see that the Princess's Mansion will never interfere in Zhu Ruhai's case again."
"I have my own judgment, and you don't need to say more." Sun Daoning was very impolite, "Go back quickly and cooperate with the investigation." "If I don't cooperate..." "Then you will be fired." After saying that, Sun Daoning seemed to realize that his tone was a bit heavy and his attitude was a bit bad, fearing that the other party would rebel. He immediately made up for it: "I'm not really firing you. Don't worry, the position of the prison warden can only be yours. I hope you can cooperate well. This is not just a show for the Princess's Mansion. You should also understand my difficulties. Right now, at a critical period, I don't want to cause trouble. I have limited energy and I really don't want to deal with the Princess's Mansion. I can only wrong you for the time being. Don't worry, everything is just a formality." Chen Guanlou didn't believe a word of his. He suspected that Sun Daoning was going to sell him out. "Tell the investigating officials to go back to the Ministry of Justice. I will personally give the Ministry of Justice an explanation about the cause of Mr. Tian's death. You don't make it difficult for me, and I won't make it difficult for you. If you are fine, I am fine, and everyone is fine. If I can't get well, then no one can get well. Tomorrow, if there are rumors about the princess's mansion in the market, I will say that they came from the Ministry of Justice. At that time, I want to see if you, Old Sun, still want to be promoted." "You, you, you..." Sun Daoning was furious. "Chen Guanlou, you are so presumptuous! You actually threatened me. Did I give you face?" "My Lord, why do you have to say such harsh words? I have already said that you are good, I am good, and everyone is good. You are a minister of the Ministry of Justice, why do you need to give face to the Princess's Mansion? You are a Jinshi civil official, but you actually want to be a running dog of the Princess's Mansion. If this gets out, your reputation in the literati will be ruined. You don't want your reputation of being upright and incorruptible that you have built for half your life to be ruined in one day." "You are so presumptuous!" "My Lord, don't be angry. I am giving you advice. Compared with the reputation of the Princess's Mansion and the reputation of the literati, which one is more important, my Lord must be able to tell. I will not disturb you from work and go back first. I hope that when I return to the Tianlao, the officials of the Ministry of Justice who investigated the cause of Mr. Tian's death have left. Goodbye!" Chen Guanlou bowed and left decisively. Sun Daoning was so angry that he smashed an inkstone. The subordinate asked if he should take the opportunity to deal with Chen Guanlou and drive him out of the Tianlao. Sun Daoning cursed, "Are you going to die? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you." The subordinate looked embarrassed. "Chen Guanlou clearly regards the prison as his own little piece of land, and he is lawless. Fortunately, he still knows the rules. He pays tributes when he should, pays respects when he should, and does his job properly. Under his management, the prison is well organized."
Chen Guanlou has many advantages, but only one disadvantage: a bad temper! When he thought of this, Sun Daoning had a headache. A dignified minister was actually threatened by a mere prison warden. He couldn't let anyone know, and he couldn't find a place to complain. It's really unreasonable. "Don't worry about him for now. Call those people back. If the Tian family makes trouble again, just beat them out. What kind of place is the Ministry of Justice? A vegetable market? How can you enter the Ministry of Justice whenever you want and make trouble whenever you want? If he doesn't listen to advice, charge him with the crime of contempt of the court law, arrest them all, and give them a good beating so that they will behave themselves." The subordinate was speechless. This attitude changed too quickly. Before, he said that he would teach Chen Guanlou a lesson. After Chen Guanlou came, he immediately changed his tone. My lord, you are too smooth to change your attitude according to the situation. If people know about it, they will gossip about it. Sun Daoning said with a stern face, "Why are you still standing there? Go and do it quickly. Don't delay my important business." If someone else threatened him, Sun Daoning would not care. But if the person threatening him was Chen Guanlou, Sun Daoning had to be careful. Because other people's threats may only stay verbal, just to save face. Chen Guanlou's threat will really be put into action. He is really afraid that if he does it tomorrow, there will be a rumor in the market about the princess having an affair with a man and the two children are not from Prince Consort Zhu. With the characteristics of Tianlao jailers getting acquainted with the three religions and nine streams, it is very possible to spread rumors and spread throughout the capital overnight. Rumors spread more and more widely, and beheadings cannot be stopped. Of course, the man and the child are stolen and not biological. Sun Daoning has worked in the Ministry of Punishment for half his life. He knows the bad nature of human nature very well because he has seen it before. He has seen it a lot. He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if there were rumors about the princess' mansion circulating in the market. If the rumors still spread from the Ministry of Justice and it was during a critical period for promotion, his future would most likely be over. Chen Guanlou's threat was like pinching his lifeline and hitting him seven inches. That's all, that's all, let's get promoted first. After he was promoted and everything settled, he would think of ways to deal with this bastard Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou listened to the story of Half Qian Yin in the teahouse, drank half the tea, and then wandered back to Tianlao. As he sat on the jailer's chair, Master Mu Qingshan told him the good news, "Qi Dongweng, the Ministry of Punishment seems to have withdrawn the case, and everyone has left. Lu Datou and the others have also been released." "Oh, Old Sun is very efficient." Chen Guanlou was happy when he heard this, "Old Sun is so smart, we can continue to cooperate next time." Chen Guanlou had no objection to Sun Daoning. As an official, it was a matter of personal ability to act according to the prevailing circumstances. If Sun Daoning really wanted to be upright, he wouldn't dare to get too close to him. Now the level is just right, I have a certain sense of justice, I understand the routines of officialdom, I am flexible, and I can bend and stretch. With such a partner, even if one day they cheat the other party, they don’t have to feel guilty. Therefore, he decided to cooperate with Lao Sun for a long time.
