Sun Daoning finally listened to Chen Guanlou's suggestion, did not change the verdict, and sent back all the appeal documents from the Xu and Wei families. Putting on the official airs of being a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "When does the Ministry of Punishment judge a case, do you need outsiders to point out. How outrageous! Anyone who dares to interfere with the Ministry of Punishment's handling of cases will be sent to prison." It was quite tough. Outsiders will only criticize you for your great official authority. The officials in the Ministry of Justice were very satisfied and praised him. Shangguan is tough, and only those who run errands can be tough. Shangguan is soft-headed, and no matter how tough the person running the errand is, he will eventually give in. Seeing the admiring looks of his subordinates, Sun Daoning puffed out his chest silently, feeling very satisfied. Although Chen Guanlou has a venomous mouth, many of what he says make sense. As the Minister of Punishment and the spiritual leader, I must toughen up. Thinking of a thank-you gift, he asked his master to prepare a copybook of famous writers and give it to Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou was a little confused when he received the gift. What does it mean?
Instead of giving yellow and white things, he gave me copybooks. Who would object that his calligraphy was not good-looking? How unreasonable! His handwriting has improved a lot in the past few years, compared to when he first started practicing martial arts. Especially as martial arts practice improves, it is reflected in calligraphy, that is, the characters have character and momentum. Maybe not that pretty, but definitely not ugly. In a word, it has its own style! Compared to imitating other people's calligraphy, it is clearly much better. He still accepted the copybook. After all, it was a copybook by a famous artist and was worth a lot of money. He told Mu Qingshan, "Every five days, you send an official document to the Ministry of Punishment to ask for the arrears of food, grass, and salary. After one month, if it has not been paid, it will be replaced by three days to demand the official document. Occasionally, you go to the Ministry of Punishment to show off. Don’t do anything, just ask them for money.” Isn't it required to go through a procedure? He goes through the procedure every three to five days. When the process was almost complete, it was time for him to personally come forward and ask Sun Daoning for money and food. He is not a coward like the previous jailers. "Don Weng is not afraid of offending others?" Mu Qingshan asked. "What the heck are you afraid of? You have to remember that the people in Tianlao are not afraid of anything. The Ministry of Punishment doesn't give them money or food because they can't stand it. Just ask them for it confidently." "Definitely not." "It doesn't matter whether you want it or not. What matters is the attitude. We must show our attitude and go through the procedures. You don't need to worry about the follow-up matters. I have my own opinion. The key is attitude. Do you understand?" "What Dong Weng means is to let everyone know that the Ministry of Punishment owes Tianlao money and food." "Absolutely. It's not wrong for you to understand it this way." "Students understand. The student union will take care of this matter." "So good!" Chen Guanlou took the wine flask and went down to the prison to have a drink with Xu Laosan. "Congratulations, Mr. Xu, you will be able to go out in three months."
Xu Lin looked confused, "Will the Ministry of Punishments change the verdict?" "Why do we need to change it?" Chen Guanlou asked with a smile, "Three months in prison is a stipulation in the "Da Qian Law". Does Mr. Xu think he can be above the law? It's a pity that you are not an official! You His official status disappeared half a year ago.” Xu Lin's expression became more and more gloomy, "So, if I were an official, I wouldn't have had these three months." "The official's judgment is based on the official's judgment, and the people's judgment is based on the people's judgment. If you have an official status, there is no way you will be imprisoned." The prisoners held in Tianlao are all serious criminals. No one was imprisoned for sleeping with women or fighting. I can't afford to lose that person! Xu Lin:...... The mood continues to be bad. Chen Guanlou sent the jug of wine into the cell, "To congratulate you on being released from prison in three months, I specially give you a jug of wine." "Chen Yucheng, are you sure you are congratulating me instead of ridiculing me?" Xu Lin stared at the wine pot, wishing he could make a hole in it. Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a smile, "You don't know, Mr. Xu, that people who are imprisoned in Tianlao can be released in three months. Although you are not the first, you are definitely one of the rare ones. At the beginning, the second son of the Jin Palace, Guan Come in, you have been here for half a year before you can get out. You are luckier than the young master of Prince Jin's Mansion, so I would like to say congratulations." Xu Lin bared his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that I would be the lucky one. If I had known this, I shouldn't have resigned in the first place." "It's true that you shouldn't resign. Although it is easy for the children of your family to become officials, just say hello and you don't have to study hard and take the imperial examination. However, if you want to accumulate reputation and connections, you still need to sit in the yamen for a long time. We have everything we need. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. It’s a waste of time and nothing is gained. It’s a pity.” "Chen Yucheng has quite a lot of experience." "Anyone who stays in officialdom for a few years will understand all these principles." "That's not necessarily the case." Xu Lin picked up the wine bottle and drank directly. I drank very quickly and felt very dry. Obviously, at first, he thought he could be released after being detained for a few days at most, so he tolerated everything. Now, when I learned that I would be imprisoned for three months, a full ninety days, I felt extremely irritated and couldn't bear it. Nowhere is pleasing to the eye. "Is Wei Laosan very proud?" "I haven't seen anyone, so I don't know. But the steward of the Wei family went to the prison twice to try to deal with you. But the price couldn't be negotiated, so it collapsed!" Xu Lin's mouth twitched when he heard this, "Listen to what you mean, if the price is agreed upon, you have to deal with it." Chen Guanlou did not deny it, but said frankly: "That's for sure. Who can go against money, right? The purpose of our Tianlao is to take money to do things, and we are honest. But don't worry, your fourth brother is a good person and generous with money. I have accepted his money and promised to take good care of you. I will not accept money from the Wei family to target you. We have principles, we only eat from one family, not two." Xu Lin laughed in anger, gritting his teeth, "It's really rare that you don't eat from both sides." Chen Guanlou pointed at the other party , sneered, and said disdainfully: "Don't be so sarcastic! It's your fault that you have been arrogant for many years, and this time you finally hit a nail. You are lucky, the nail only pierced you once. But your luck will not be so good every time. Also, I took the money and was only responsible for taking care of you, not saying that I would be your grandson. You'd better be polite to me, otherwise, I will take care of you in many ways." Xu Lin wanted to sneer back, but when the words came to his lips, he met Chen Guanlou's eyes, and his heart was shocked, and all the unspoken words were swallowed in an instant. Suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not only a prison warden, but also a warrior, and his martial arts cultivation was unfathomable. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mood, "Chen Yucheng is right, I don't know what's good for me. Thank you for the wine, I will definitely treat you back when I get out." "I remember this. Wait for you to treat me back." Chen Guanlou smiled, and the solemn atmosphere was diluted in an instant. The jailers around him also secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads, thinking: Boss Chen's stern face is so scary!
