Chapter 601 Brother Unit, No Entry without Money

"There should be many people around the second prince. How are the others? Are they dead?"

When Medical Officer Mu heard this, he strongly suspected that Chen Guanlou was gloating about his misfortune and wished that more people would die. Or maybe watching a play is not a big deal.

"I heard that yesterday the Second Prince went out to the city with a group of noble men and noble ladies, and they were assassinated during the trip. Many people did die, but they were all the guards, maids, and servants of each house. Dear lords, please bear with me. Even if they were injured, they would not die. Some of them had broken arms and legs, and they had received timely treatment.”

"You mean, the second prince's condition is the most serious?" Chen Guanlou was really surprised. There were so many palace guards, but the second prince was injured and poisoned. Could it be that there is a new assassin coming from behind?

"The second prince was poisoned and fell unconscious. Calculated, this is indeed the most serious case."

"Can you wake up?" Chen Guanlou asked casually, "Old Mu, you are good at detoxifying. The palace didn't ask you to treat the second prince?"

"The Imperial Hospital has its own imperial doctors who are good at detoxifying." Medical Officer Mu looked unmoved. "Even if the imperial doctors can't solve the problem, they will find a way to buy medicine from me."

"Only buying medicine and not inviting you into the palace?" Chen Guanlou joked.

Medical Officer Mu snorted coldly, "I don't like to enter the palace. I am afraid of avoiding the palace. How can I take the initiative to get together? You don't need to test me."

When Chen Guanlou saw this, he stopped and decisively changed the subject, "Have you caught the assassin? Do you know who instigated it?"

"I heard that all the assassins are dead, and those who are not dead have all escaped. There is a manhunt going on across the city right now. Who instigated this is not to be said nonsense. We will wait for the Jin Yiwei to investigate and explain everything."

"The second prince has not yet reached the crown, and a half-year-old boy, who can threaten him?" Chen Guanlou was slightly curious, "Who is so impatient to attack him."

"Don't talk nonsense." Medical Officer Mu was afraid that Chen Guanlou was speaking uncontrollably, so he quickly stopped him and said, "It may not be the instigation of the nobles in the palace. Don't discuss this kind of thing, or you may get into trouble."

Medical Officer Mu appeared to be extremely cautious and would never speak nonsense or criticize anyone. Quan thinks that he is a fool and a deaf person, he only knows medical skills, but his brain is not very good at other things and he cannot think of anything. He also hoped that Chen Guanlou could learn from him and learn the golden mean, instead of being unrestrained and talking about everything all day long. Beware of trouble coming from your mouth.

This is what he speaks from experience. It is the experience accumulated from countless human lives. You must not be careless.

Chen Guanlou laughed and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm measured. I never talk nonsense outside."

It seems that because of the city-wide manhunt, the streets of the capital seemed to be in a state of chaos. Several villages and villages nearby where the assassination took place were under the special attention of the Jinyiwei, and they were in a state of panic. Regardless of whether they were innocent or not, they were arrested and tried first.

Jin Yiwei handles cases so roughly.

For a time, the imperial prison was overcrowded, so they shamelessly borrowed the cells of the Tianlao to hold prisoners.

Chen Guanlou looked at a group of tied up prisoners and felt very unhappy, "Yang Baihu, it's not like you don't know that we don't hold female prisoners in the Sky Prison. What did you do by sending the female prisoners here? To induce the jailer of the Sky Prison to make mistakes? ? Hurry, take the person away and send him to Prisoner Hu next door. "

The female prisoners were all crying. Some of them had been severely tortured and were covered in blood. They didn't know if they could endure it.

Yang Baihu smiled and said, "Prisoner Hu has no contact with our imperial prison. I went to ask him for help rashly, I'm afraid I won't look good. Chen Yucheng, can you do me a favor and help me?"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. How could a brother's office help him for free?

He raised his head slightly and looked at the other person, "I have dealt with Prisoner Hu a few times. He is..." After that, he made a gesture of counting money.

Prisoner Hu recognized the money.

The female prisoners who have no money and want him to help imprison the prison are dreaming.

Without any benefit, who would be willing to take over the errands of his brother's yamen. If something goes wrong, who is responsible?

Rights and responsibilities must be clearly demarcated.

In officialdom, don't overdo it. Don't take the initiative to take on errands that are not within your scope of responsibilities. Unless the price is high enough and the benefits are sufficient.

Yang Baihu's face was slightly distorted. He couldn't bear the money, so he just wanted to take advantage of it.

Chen Guanlou would not spoil him. He wanted his help to be in vain even if he didn't give him any money. Haha, what a waste of money. He decisively turned around and returned to the office, asking Mu Qingshan to come and send him away.

Yang Baihu suddenly became anxious, "Chen Yucheng, don't leave! Is this okay? One prisoner is worth ten taels of silver and ten days."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think I am short of ten taels of silver? Your prison is a big place, and now that the weather is hot, it is okay for these prisoners to be locked in the open air. They will be over after a while."

"It's not safe to lock him up in the open. If the key criminal is released, no one will be able to eat and carry around."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "A group of female prisoners are all village girls, how can they be important criminals. Those male prisoners can be detained in the sky jail with difficulty. Each prisoner is fifteen taels, ten days."

"Chen Yuucheng, the price you are asking is too high..."

"If it's too expensive, you can find another cell. There must be empty cells at Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion will definitely not refuse Jin Yiwei's request, and the county government below... As long as you Jin Yiwei open your mouth, you still have to worry about finding one. It’s really a joke if we don’t go to the prison cell. We are in the prison, so we won’t get involved in this matter.”

Chen Guanlou disliked Jin Yiwei's simple and crude way of doing things, looked down upon them, and didn't want to find anything for him to do. Therefore, the price was raised high, forcing Yang Baihu to find another way.

Captain Yang was reluctant to part with the silver after all, so he took the female prisoner away. However, he left ten male prisoners in the Tianlao, because these prisoners would be brought to trial tomorrow at the latest. They were too lazy to travel far, so it was most appropriate to stay in the Tianlao. After all, they lived next to each other, separated by a wall.

The price, after bargaining, was eight taels per prisoner, for ten days. It was limited to the number of people, not the specific identity. The implication was that if the prisoners were replaced in the middle, as long as the ten quotas were maintained, the money would be charged uniformly.

After thinking about it, Chen Guanlou sent all ten prisoners to the C-shaped prison.

A group of village men suffered an unprovoked disaster and were arrested and tortured by the Jinyiwei. They were unlucky. This bad luck could not be put into the A-shaped prison, and the Feng Shui of the A-shaped prison could not be ruined.

The A-shaped prison was a place for Tianlao to make money. Only the nobles or the corrupt officials could live there. In a word, those with money come in, those without money leave.

That's the reality.

The imperial prison paid money, so the prison couldn't treat them harshly.

Chen Guanlou told Xu Fugui to treat them normally and not to play tricks.

Xu Fugui was still thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but when he heard that there would be no tricks, his disappointment was directly reflected on his face.

"Sir, there are only eighty taels of silver for ten people. After deducting the prisoners' food and drink, there won't be much left. How can there be enough for profit sharing?"
