Chen Guanlou pursed his lips, signaling Li Ren to look at the next cell. Li Ren's face darkened, and then he said sadly: "Jinxing passed away suddenly, and I am heartbroken. I don't know how to explain to my wife. I didn't take good care of him. It's okay that Chen Yucheng didn't understand, but he rubbed salt into my wounds and talked nonsense. Forget it, right and wrong will be judged by others, and I don't expect everyone to understand." Chen Guanlou: ... What a big white lotus! He admitted that even if he practiced for another ten or twenty years, he could not compare to Lord Li's white lotus in the prosperous age. "As long as you are happy!" "Don't talk nonsense! Since Jinxing passed away, I have been restless day and night, and I have no time to grieve. Why should I be happy? Since Chen Yucheng can't speak, don't talk. I want to be alone." Chen Guanlou sneered, "How boring! I knew that Lord Li had good acting skills before, but I didn't expect that he not only had good acting skills, but also liked acting so much. Yes, if he didn't like it, how could he practice such superb acting skills. But you don't have to act in front of me. In Tianlao, you get paid for doing things, and you are honest and trustworthy. No one will report you. So, just show your true nature, and you don't have to act every day. You are not tired, but I am tired just watching you." Li Ren waved his sleeves, very annoyed, "What acting, I don't understand. Please don't slander me, Chen Yucheng. I still have to recite the mantra for Jinxing, so I won't chat with Lord Yucheng." "Whatever you want!"
Chen Guanlou smiled and continued to patrol the cells. The Li family seemed to be losing ground. Not long after, someone else was put in the Tianlao again. But this time it was not the brother-in-law, but the grandson-in-law of the Li family, a fifth-rank official, Lord He Cheng, who was imprisoned. The charges were: harming the local area, embezzlement and bribery, taking human lives lightly, excluding colleagues, collusion, forming a clique for personal gain... There was a long list of charges, and the most serious one was forming a clique for personal gain. The emperor hated the most the cliques of court officials. It didn't matter if they were embezzled or bribed, as long as they were useful, it was not a big deal. But when it came to forming a clique for personal gain, any emperor with ambition and a normal mind would send someone to investigate it carefully and never let it go. The enemies of the Li family were very strong. If they didn't attack, it would be fine. Once they did, they would hit the weak spot. The son-in-law of the Li family was put in the Tianlao this time. If he wanted to get out, he might have to lie sideways. Look at the posture of the battle. It was obvious that they were starting from the periphery, cutting off the peripheral forces of the Li family first. When the Li family was left with only a bare stick, they would hit it with one blow, and Li Shangshu would have to roll down. I don't know how many counterattacks the Li family has. Chen Guanlou is also a fun-loving person. He specifically instructed that He Cheng be placed in the cell next to Li Ren, which was the cell where Liu Jinxing lived before his death. Let the two get close. Lord He is young, a few years younger than Li Ren. He was born in a small family, but he was lucky enough to be favored by Li Shangshu and recruited as his grandson-in-law. Lord He relied on the Li family to rise straight up and rise to prominence. He is not as old as Li Ren, but his official position is several grades higher than Li Ren. Who made him a Jinshi, while Li Ren was only a Juren. These two people have no private contact. One is Li Shangshu's nephew, and the other is Li Shangshu's grandson-in-law. They are separated by generations, houses, and geographical distances, and they are not officials in the same place. Now they are both imprisoned in Tianlao, and their cells are close to each other. They are both imprisoned because of the Li family's case. The cause was still Li Ren's brother-in-law Liu Jinxing who was reported. It would be wrong not to talk about it. If Li Ren was directly implicated by Liu Jinxing, then He Cheng was innocently implicated. Of course, he was not innocent because of so many charges. However, without the case of Liu Jinxing as a fuse, the enemies of the Li family would not have taken him into their sight, and naturally would not have impeached him, and he would not have been imprisoned. He Cheng knew that among the officials of the Li family, he was inexperienced, dirty, and not experienced enough, so he was naturally easy to become a target. However, if Li Ren had not indulged Liu Jinxing and was caught by someone, he would still be sitting in his official position and showing off his power. In the final analysis, Li Ren was the culprit. When the two met, He Cheng did not give Li Ren a good face.
"Sure enough, he is just a juren!" As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a personal attack. Li Ren wanted to say hello and say hello, and help each other in Tianlao, but when he heard this, his lungs exploded. The most regrettable thing in his life was that he failed to pass the imperial examination and had to serve as a juren, wasting his whole life as a seventh-rank county magistrate. He hated people talking about his juren background the most. "Although I am a juren, I know that I should be loyal to the emperor and love my country, and I dare not form a party for personal gain." "Humph! If it weren't for Lord Li's failure to manage his brother-in-law, how could I be here today. Everything today started because of you. If the Li family fails, you are the culprit." "Nonsense! It was my uncle who made enemies in the court, and I am just an innocent person implicated." Li Ren said this, and he thought so in his heart. After countless psychological hints, he firmly believed that he was innocent, and everything was caused by his uncle's political enemies, but he became the first rafter to be attacked. "Innocent! Haha! The funniest joke today is this. Li Ren, Li Ren, at this point, are you still hoping for the best? Do you really think you are innocent?" He Cheng stretched his neck to see the expression of Li Ren in the next cell, how shameless he was. "I am innocent." Li Ren said loudly, especially firmly, and emphasized again, "I did nothing. I was implicated by Liu Jinxing." He Cheng heard this and smiled coldly, "Your brother-in-law has done so many evil things for so many years, I don't believe you didn't hear anything. It shows that you are also a blind and self-deceiving thing, you deserve to be in this situation today." "Don't talk nonsense! I am busy with official duties and I don't know my brother-in-law's situation, it's understandable." Fuck! He Cheng was very disdainful. Most of the Li family members are quite brave and have a good reputation outside. After all, Li Shangshu is the Minister of Rites, the most prestigious government. Unexpectedly, Li Ren, who is also a member of the Li family, is a coward and puts all the responsibilities on the dead Liu Jinxing. Living under the same roof, how could he not know about what Liu Jinxing did? If he didn't know for one year, how could he not know for two or three years? To put it bluntly, while enjoying the wealth and various benefits brought by Liu Jinxing's evil deeds, he pretended to be stupid and didn't want to take responsibility, nor did he persuade and restrain. He is both a person and a person, shameless and despicable! He Cheng looked down on him and shouted that he wanted to change his cell. He didn't want to be neighbors with such a shameless person, even though they couldn't see each other through the wall. Chen Quan didn't say anything and directly blocked him. "There is no rule for changing cells in Tianlao. It's good to have one. Either this one, or go to the deepest cell in the prison without sunlight. You can choose it yourself." He Cheng: ... Never mind. Although there is a nasty Li Ren living next door, at least there is some sunlight here.
