People feel refreshed when they are happy.

Chen Guanlou was in a good mood for several days, and the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed.

Others teased him, "If you like children so much, why don't you have one yourself!"

"I'm not in a hurry."

Others found it hard to understand why Chen Guanlou didn't care about having a woman warming his bed in the house? Could it be that he had some special hobby? No, this kid went to brothels every other day, and his preference was normal. It seems that he doesn't like domestic flowers, but only wild flowers.

Tsk!

This hobby is also special enough.

Before he could be happy for a few days, Tianlao welcomed an old acquaintance: Yu Zhaoan.

Whether Yu Zhaoan was carried into Tianlao or in Chen Guanlou's jurisdiction, it was still the familiar cell.

His legs were broken by the Jinyiwei's guards, and it was not clear whether he could recover.

Because of this incident, Chen Guanlou ran to Niu Yucheng to inquire about the situation.

Since Fan Yucheng was promoted and Niu Yucheng took office, Xiaosama Fan has accurately grasped his status. Since then, he has basically not taken care of things and only took money. The daily affairs of the Jia-shaped prisons were pushed to Chen Guanlou.

At present, Chen Guanlou is not a prisoner in name, but he is a prisoner in reality.

Niu Yucheng seems to be not used to hiring a legal advisor. He tried two or three legal advisors, but none of them were as good as he wanted. He simply stopped looking for one. If there is anything, he will do it himself.

When Chen Guanlou met him, they first talked about daily work, and then turned the topic to Yu Zhaoan.

"Sir, is there any inside story about Yu Zhaoan? He was originally a prisoner in the imperial prison, so how did he return to the Heavenly Prison?"

"You should know Yu Zhaoan's background. He suffered a lot in the imperial prison and his legs were broken. It is understood that His Royal Highness Prince Jin pleaded for him in front of His Majesty and allowed him to return to the Heavenly Prison. There is also a rumor that when the Jixia Academy learned that Yu Zhaoan's legs were broken, they were so angry that they wanted to write a joint letter to impeach the Jinyiwei for illegality, but were finally stopped by Prince Jin. Prince Jin sympathized with Yu Zhaoan's experience and was said to have cried."

Chen Guanlou exclaimed, "Since His Royal Highness Prince Jin came forward, why not release Yu Zhaoan directly, why let him return to the Heavenly Prison."

"Of course it's because His Majesty disagrees. His Majesty has already shown mercy by allowing Yu Zhaoan to return to the Heavenly Prison. Releasing him is impossible."

Your Majesty actually hates Yu Zhaoan so much! No wonder the court officials privately said that the old emperor was mean and ungrateful, narrow-minded, and vindictive.

Yu Zhaoan just scolded the old emperor for being a tyrant on the spot, and the old emperor has been holding a grudge until now. Even though the Jixia Academy came forward to plead for him, he refused to let go.

This time, in the internal struggle between the court officials and Jiangtu, Yu Zhaoan obviously became an abandoned pawn. If it weren't for his surname Yu and his family's rich family, he would not only have broken two legs, but his head would have fallen off long ago.

Tsk!

The factional struggle in the court is indeed bloody and cruel. If you don't have a background, don't get involved, and it's best to stay away from the capital.

After several months of observation, Niu Yucheng has recognized Chen Guanlou's ability to do things. In addition, Chen Guanlou is particularly tactful. As soon as he took office, he gave him a generous gift. Every month afterwards, he was the most active in submitting account books and silver. He considered everything very carefully, so Niu Yucheng gave up his initial decision to transfer Chen Guanlou.

He must have one or two useful people under him.

Xu Fugui, Zhang Yuli and others are all old and slippery. Other jailers and guards are either dull, greedy, or rough and prone to handles. The person with the strongest comprehensive ability is still Chen Guanlou, and he is from a famous family in the capital and has the support of the Marquis' Mansion.

He doesn't need to leave the ready-made talents and train them separately.

Of course, he plans to take two steps. In Tianlao, he wants to catch Chen Guanlou, because he needs a capable person who can do things for him and share his worries.

In the second step, he decided to transfer a confidant from the county government where he worked before to check and balance Chen Guanlou. Just like Li Shiye, who was beside Fan Yucheng in the past, let the confidant do things that were inconvenient to come forward.

Chen Guanlou can be used, but he is not his own after all. He has never thought of completely conquering Chen Guanlou. His surname is Chen, the Chen of Pingjiang Hou.

As a native of the capital, Niu Yucheng understands the meaning of the sign of Pingjiang Houfu far better than Fan Yucheng, and understands the ability of the natives of the capital better.

He wanted to win over the family members of the Marquis's branch, even though he was already five generations away from the Marquis's family. Even if he was a third-rank official in Beijing, it was still a delusion. If they wanted to find a backer, was it because the Marquis's family was not strong enough or because his rank was not high enough? Why would he hang out with a small prison warden? Even if he was a first-rank prime minister, he had to see if he had enough face to buy off the nobles.

The ecology of Beijing is not that a high-ranking official can do whatever he wants and cover the sky with one hand.

Jiang Tu was favored by the old emperor, but he didn't dare to extend his hand to the nobles' territory. As for the land dispute the year before last, it could only be regarded as an accident.

Pingjiang Hou slapped Jiang Tu's face hard. Look, did Jiang Tu fight back? Did he dare to fight back? He had already offended the civil service group, and then offended the nobles group, and extended his hand to the nobles' territory. He was really not far from death.

When civil officials and nobles really join forces to do something, even the old emperor has to consider whether he can withstand the pressure.

Niu Yucheng has already thought that Chen Guanlou can be used and trusted, but he must be limited within a framework. Beyond the scope of the framework, it is absolutely not possible. The only person he can really trust is his confidant who has followed him for many years.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Guanlou went to see Yu Zhaoan.

Yu Zhaoan was sitting in the corner of the cell, leaning against the wall. His body was stained with blood, his eyes had long lost their luster, he was weak and embarrassed, and he looked very embarrassed. He is no longer the high-spirited, arrogant and arrogant person he was before. He is looked down upon by everyone. He has eyes on the top of his head and is extremely smart and extremely sharp.

"Master Yu, Lao Yu, I have invited the medical officer here. Let me take a look at your injury first. Come, open the cell door and bring two basins of hot water over to clean Master Yu. Then send someone to notify the Yu family and send him to the hospital immediately. Please bring a change of clothes and bedding, as well as a batch of good medicinal materials. Don't forget to remind the Yu family that Mr. Yu will be imprisoned in the sky prison this time. According to the rules, you still have to pay money. If you want us to take good care of Mr. Yu, the money must be enough. ”

Xiao Jin took the order on the spot and rushed to make arrangements.

Chen Guanxin took the initiative to take on the task of informing the Yu family. He smiled and said, "I'm the best at asking for money." He gestured with his fingers, no less than a thousand taels.

Xiao Jin said: "Less! Mr. Yu's serious injury requires long-term medication and careful attention. Without two thousand taels, this thing cannot be done. The Yu family is a rich family, so you can't say it. Even if the Yu family has given up As for Yu Zhaoan, they will still pay for this amount of money, otherwise the reputation will be bad. "

"Will the Yu family really give up on Yu Zhaoan?" Chen Guanxin was very curious. He had little knowledge and had not yet realized how cruel the official struggle was and how ruthless the wealthy families were.

Xiao Jin is an experienced person who lives in a prison and has seen too many human relationships, joys, angers, sorrows and joys.

"It depends on whether Master Yu can turn over. If he can turn over, he is still the pride of the Yu family, a talent that the family focuses on cultivating. If he cannot turn over, he will be a lame Yu, a useless person. At most, he will be given some food and drink to support him."

Xiao Jin's words revealed the ultimate coldness.

Chen Guanxin shuddered, "No way."

Xiao Jin snorted coldly, "What I said is quite polite. Only a family with a decent family tradition would raise a loser. A truly cold family, well, in Yu Zhaoan's situation, he might die tomorrow. ”
