Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Chapter 235 The old emperor's sinister intentions

The investigation of the internal thief cannot be done in a high-profile manner. It must be done quietly and without alerting the higher-ups.

Chen Guanlou told Xiao Jin to keep it a secret. Only the two of them need to know about this matter.

Xiao Jin scratched his head, "Do you really want to investigate?"

"What do you think? Just tell me."

Xiao Jin pondered for a while and whispered, "Chen, I have a slightly one-sided view. This prison is like a sieve."

Hmm?

Chen Guanlou looked back at him.

Xiao Jin continued to say, "Chentou also knows what kind of character these jailers are. Nine out of ten are gamblers. They earn a lot and spend a lot. They are obsessed with money all day long. If someone outside pays for help, I don't think anyone will refuse. Similar requests happen every day for years. It's not clear who took the money outside and what they did after taking the money."

"What do you want to say?"

"I mean, this matter can't be investigated because everyone's ass is not clean." Xiao Jin told the truth. No one in the Tianlao jail is clean.

Chen Guanlou himself is not clean. He didn't take money outside, but he killed people outside, which is more serious than taking money to do things.

Xiao Jin added, "However, everyone knows the rules and bottom line of Tianlao, and no one wants to ruin their job. It is inevitable to get paid for doing things, but I am sure that no one will help with the prison break even though they know it is a prison break."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "You are right. Tianlao has become a sieve, and there are all kinds of people. Although everyone is a gambler, there are differences between gamblers. Some are real gamblers, and some are fake gamblers. Forget it, don't check it."

This is not his job, and he doesn't need to take it on himself.

Just thinking that there may be religious bandits hiding among the jailers, he feels uncomfortable all over. He is afraid that one day, the religious bandits will go crazy and poison the food and water. The main purpose of investigating the internal thief is to prevent this.

He is not afraid of being poisoned. He has the immortal fruit, and as long as he has a breath, he can be saved. The poison of Mrs. Pan did not kill him, and the poison of the religious bandits certainly cannot kill him.

One Liu Daowen, the other Zhang Daohe

One may have faked his death and escaped, and the other successfully escaped from prison.

These two cases could not have been handled so smoothly without the help of the thief. It can only be said that the jailers in Tianlao are all very smart, and everyone has a secret that cannot be seen in the light. Who is behind it, who has received money, and who does things for, as Xiao Jin said, this matter cannot be checked.

Tianlao is a sieve, and the people above must know it. The people above don't ask, don't check the thief, why should he make trouble.

He asked Xiao Jin the last question, "Everyone has money to spend recently."

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

Chen Guanlou smiled and left on his own.

The two jailbreaks were covered by the Tianlao because the Imperial Prison made too much noise. At dawn, a low-level official from the Ministry of Justice came to check it out and left in a hurry. It seems that the Ministry of Justice does not intend to investigate the jailbreak case in depth, but to focus on the Jinyiwei next door.

A total of five religious bandits were robbed from the Imperial Prison, all of whom were important figures with names. This case is too shocking. After all, the last jailbreak in the imperial prison was fifty years ago, when the late emperor was in his later years.

It's outrageous!

When the old emperor got the news, he immediately called several spy chiefs and law enforcement officers into the palace.

"Investigate! Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must find out!"

"Dongzhou is the base camp of the religious bandits. I allow you to act at your convenience and suppress them severely. Kill them if you can. We must eradicate the roots! Anyone who is involved with the religious bandits, regardless of their status and identity, will be dealt with by law. If local officials are involved, they must be dealt with severely and will not be tolerated. I will never allow anyone to commit such a big crime under my nose and get away with it. If you can't catch anyone, bring your head to see me."

The old emperor was really angry.

Last night's jailbreak reminded him of the late emperor and the things that happened in the late emperor's later years, which made him horrified. He suddenly realized that the current situation is so similar to the late emperor's later years.

He was furious and angry, but he had nowhere to vent!

Impossible!

He was not the late emperor!

The late emperor was incompetent and incompetent, how wise and powerful he was. People all said that the holy emperor was in power, and now was a peaceful and prosperous era. How could the old emperor, the late emperor, be compared with him.

It was just a religious bandit, and he was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

He immediately ordered Qiu Defu, "Call Jiang Tu here."

Qiu Defu hesitated, and the old emperor said angrily, "Hurry up."

Qiu Defu had no choice but to send someone to invite Jiang Tu to the palace.

Jiang Tu hurried to the Taiji Palace to meet the emperor.

At this moment, the old emperor's anger had been extinguished by half, but the murderous intent in his heart was about to overflow. The calmer he was, the more he wanted to kill.

Jiang Tu suddenly met the old emperor's eyes, and was frightened. He thought the old emperor had a murderous intention towards him, and he trembled all over, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.

The old emperor glanced at him with disdain, "Okay, stop howling. I called you here to tell you to do something, not to kill you."

So he didn't want to kill him!

Jiang Tu felt relieved, with snot and tears on his face. The old emperor became more and more disgusted and told him to clean up before coming in.

Jiang Tu obeyed the order, and while cleaning up, he finally figured out the whole story from the eunuch's door, and felt more confident.

The Jinyiwei is not doing a good job, does the old emperor want him to supervise the Jinyiwei? Oh, this job, as the Minister of Works, it is not appropriate for him to supervise the Jinyiwei.

Or, does the old emperor plan to set up a new government office to check and balance the Jinyiwei?

After thinking it over, he returned to Taiji Palace and waited for orders.

"Come closer." The old emperor waved.

Jiang Tu stepped forward quickly and acted very actively, "What does your majesty want?"

The old emperor half-closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I heard that Dongzhou is rich in products, with many rare stones and fruits. Send more people to collect them and enrich the garden."

Hmm?

That's it?

Jiang Tu secretly observed the old emperor's expression, which still made him terrified and murderous.

"Do you understand?"

The old emperor asked him.

Jiang Tu hadn't figured out the old emperor's real intention, but he said, "I understand. I will definitely collect more exotic flowers, rare stones, fruits and trees, and send them to the capital to enrich the garden."

"Very good! Go!"

Jiang Tu bowed and left with some doubts. He didn't dare to ask, so he could only think deeply by himself.

He left the hall and stood in the corridor with a solemn expression.

Qiu Defu suddenly appeared beside him, "Does Lord Jiang understand your majesty's intention?"

Jiang Tu was surprised that Qiu Defu would take the initiative to help him solve his doubts. However, he couldn't care less now, so he asked, "Please tell me, Eunuch Qiu."

Qiu Defu held the whisk and smiled slightly. The smile suddenly disappeared, and his expression became extremely serious.

"Does Lord Jiang know that the imperial prison was attacked by religious bandits last night?"
