It all sounds reasonable, with causes and consequences, and logical consistency. Chen Guanlou took a sip of tea and was silent for a moment. He was hesitating how to start. Some things must be said openly. There is no use in avoiding them. "Do you know your stepmother..." "I understand what Lord Yu Cheng means! Things are different now. She is no longer my stepmother, but just the empress in the palace." "Oh, so you know everything." Chen Guanlou nodded in understanding, "Are you married?" The topic was a bit of a turn, and the other party was obviously stunned for a moment before answering, "Reporting to the lord, I was married before. But my wife was unlucky and had a difficult delivery, resulting in two deaths." "So, you are going back to Beijing alone? Tianlao is guarding your father's house for you. Have you completed the procedures and moved in?" "Thank Lord Yu Cheng and the uncles and uncles of Tianlao for keeping the house for me. The procedures have been completed and I have moved in."
Li Shuan was really grateful when he talked about this. If Tianlao hadn't stepped in to help him keep his property. Otherwise, the house would have been occupied by his uncles. It would be extremely difficult for him to get it back, and the clan would definitely not support him. His father, Li Dahong, worked as a clerk for a lifetime, and the only property he saved was the house. Although the house is small, with only one entrance and four bedrooms, the location is excellent. If you want to buy such a house now, don't even think about it without a few hundred or two thousand taels. In recent years, the housing prices in Beijing have skyrocketed, and ordinary people can hardly afford it. After ten years away from home, the house is still there when he comes back. He must thank God and thank Tianlao for guarding his property for him. "Are you living alone now?" "Yes, sir." Chen Guanlou nodded, "You want to work in Tianlao, I shouldn't stop you, after all, you are inheriting your father's job. Let's do this, you follow Chen Quan, the prison guard, and he will make the arrangements for you. Your father used to work in Jiazixing, and he worked diligently. I hope you don't let your father's reputation down!" Li Shuan showed a surprised expression, stood up immediately, bowed to thank, "Thank you, sir, the prison warden, I will do my job well and not cause trouble to everyone." I hope so! Waved his hand and sent the man away. The follow-up matters will be handled by Chen Quan. Doctor Mu walked into the office and asked in surprise, "You really let him stay?" "What else? It's better to keep him under your eyes than to let him mess around outside. Besides, he inherited Li Dahong's job, and I can't stop him. It's against the rules. Why are the jailers willing to endure hardships and keep this job? One is for money, and the other is to pass on the job to future generations. If I stop Li Shuan, the jailers will have opinions. It will be very troublesome if there is a commotion!" Chen Guanlou also has his own difficulties. Rules are made, especially those for the welfare of jailers, for everyone to abide by. If he breaks them first, the majesty and trust established before will be destroyed. The jailers don't care how he deals with those prisoners, whether they live or die, it doesn't matter. But if it infringes on their own interests, they will definitely make a fuss. "Is he okay?" Doctor Mu asked curiously. "It doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment. But I guessed one thing."
"What is it?" "This kid got into trouble and returned to the capital to be a jailer to avoid trouble." "How do you know? He said that?" "He didn't say it, but I saw it." Chen Guanlou smiled knowingly, everything was under control. "He said he had been involved with private salt dealers, which should be true. He was almost caught, which is probably true. He messed up the order, thinking he could get away with it, haha!" "He is a private salt dealer, did you see that?" Doctor Mu was surprised. Li Shuan was a handsome guy, and he didn't look like someone who made money through illegal means. "I guess his private salt business was not small, and he made a lot of money. Did you see his hand?" "I didn't notice it, what's wrong?" "There's a ring mark on it! Have you ever seen a small vendor wearing a ring? Judging from the width of the ring mark, the ring is quite big." The rings of this time were not made of iron, plastic, or any other materials in the future. The rings of this time were either gold or silver, and they had to be inlaid with jewels. It is definitely not something that an ordinary small trader or peddler can wear. "He is used to a rich life, can he tolerate the job of a jailer?" Let alone other things, just the working environment is not acceptable to everyone. "This kid is a gangster, and he is at the end of his rope. He decisively ran away to the capital to be a jailer. He can be considered to be flexible and a man. But he is a little bit cunning, so Chen Quan must keep an eye on him to prevent him from messing around and breaking the rules." Medical Officer Mu was more worried, "You said what happened. Concubine Liu's stepson is a private salt dealer. If this matter gets out, it will be..." "Where is the stepson? Concubine Liu has no relationship with the Li family for eight hundred years, so how can there be a stepson or stepmother. The Li family's property is there, and no one wants it, which means there is no involvement. Don't talk nonsense." If there is an economic dispute, it is reasonable to say that there is involvement. Li Dahong left a house, but no money. The funeral ceremony was organized by the brothers of the Tianlao jailers. About a hundred days after Li Dahong's death, Liu returned to the Eastern Palace. Since then, she has completely severed her relationship with the Li family. Bringing up the past now is really making trouble out of nothing. "Just because you think so doesn't mean others think so. Concubine Liu and Li Dahong were once married, and this matter cannot be concealed. Many people know about it. What if the palace..." "Nothing will happen. Since Li Shuan is in the prison, he will stay here. I won't let him mess around outside, and I won't allow him to get close to Empress Liu." "Are you sure you can keep an eye on him?" Doctor Mu was skeptical. "Can I break his legs?" Chen Guanlou snorted, "You don't have to use your eyes to watch a person. Breaking his legs and throwing him into the cell won't work?" Of course, it hasn't come to that point yet. If Li Shuan doesn't mess around, don't dream of anything, and he won't do it. Doctor Mu thought about it for a while and said tentatively: "How about I give him some medicine." "Old Mu, you are really a bit of a pessimist. It's not to that extent." "I am not afraid of the worst. Anything related to the palace is not a good thing."
"Let me find a way to send a message to Concubine Liu in the palace and ask her opinion." "You actually have contact with Concubine Liu. You are hiding it well!" "Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Guanlou denied it flatly, "What connection? There is no connection. I plan to pay for the message. What do you know!" "I don't understand. But at least you should pay attention to the degree. Concubine Liu, you, tsk...back then you two..." "Shut up! Don't say anything." Chen Guanlou interrupted the other party decisively. Talking nonsense all day long, making things that don't exist sound like noses and eyes, this is how rumors are generated.
