The originally inevitable ending was disrupted by Yu Zhaoan, but brought life to King Zhong.

By the time the old emperor came to his senses, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

He wanted to lose face. He had gone too far in defending King Zhong before, but now he could no longer ignore King Zhong and frame him to kill him. Even if it's just a show, you still have to discuss it with the courtiers.

Should King Zhong take the blame?

Should!

Should King Zhong die?

It shouldn’t be!

After all, the initiator of all this was the old emperor.

Although the courtiers did not say so, everyone had a tacit understanding. Some words don’t need to be said, everyone understands them.

The old emperor knows better than anyone else.

Just because he understood, he became angrier and more angry. The more I looked at Yu Zhaoan, the more displeased he became.

The old emperor suspected that from the beginning, Yu Zhaoan had deliberately impeached King Zhong in order to keep King Zhong. He never doubted the wisdom of his subordinates. They were all smart and not a single fool. The key lies in where cleverness is used.

Obviously, Yu Zhaoan's cleverness was used in the wrong place.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Yu Zhaoan had fallen out of favor during this period and was scolded several times by the old emperor. All his proposals would be rejected by the old emperor without any reason. However, if the same proposal was made by another person, the old emperor would nod in agreement in a good mood.

Differential treatment!

Jiang Tu smiled crookedly. Sometimes you are stupid, but you are also lucky to be stupid. It is also beneficial to read less and react a little slower. Reading too much and thinking too much is what Yu Zhaoan will end up with.

However, Yu Zhaoan was a stupid person who wanted to be open-minded and didn't take this to heart at all. Instead, he waited until the old emperor vented his anger for a period of time, then asked for an audience alone, and said seriously to the old emperor: "Anyone can die, but King Zhong cannot die. Even if King Zhong wants to die, it cannot be while His Majesty is still there. time to die.”

This was said without any beginning or end. Qiu Defu stood aside and wondered what Yu Zhaoan was doing. Did he take the courage of a bear and a leopard?

The old emperor understood the deep meaning of Yu Zhaoan's words.

The deposed crown prince has already damaged his reputation and is being reviled by the whole world. Even the common people were influenced by the scholar, and others called him a foolish king.

The old emperor always wanted to lose face, but when he got older, he was called a coward. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep countless nights. He wanted to go crazy and kill everyone who dared to call him a coward. During the day, he must suppress his bad breath and continue to be a wise king and a loving father, caring for the loyal king and suppressing those ministers who slander the loyal king.

The whole person is completely refined.

If he takes the opportunity to kill Prince Zhong, I don't know how bad his reputation will be. I'm afraid more people in the world will rebel in the name of the deposed prince.

The flag of the deposed prince is too useful and can confuse people's minds.

so……

King Zhong really cannot die.

Even if people are imprisoned, they cannot die. He must not die within ten years.

After ten years, it depends on the situation.

The old emperor stared at Yu Zhaoan with squinted eyes, speculating on Yu Zhaoan's purpose.

Yu Zhaoan knew that the test time had come, and he took the opportunity to say: "Wei Chen is your Majesty's minister, and Wei Chen only serves your Majesty! Others, including King Zhong, are all pawns in your Majesty's hands."

"You'd better keep your word."

Then, the courtiers discovered that Yu Zhaoan, who had been neglected for a period of time, once again gained the favor of the old emperor. Sometimes even the left prime minister Li Liangcheng had to step aside. Yu Zhaoan has finally gained a firm foothold in the court, and his influence is gradually increasing.

Xie Changling was imprisoned in Tianlao, but he was very well-informed and was always paying attention to what was going on in the DPRK. After learning that Yu Zhaoan had overcome the crisis and gained favor again, he asked someone to send a message to Yu Zhaoan.

This time, he did not go to Chen Guanlou, knowing that the other party would not agree. He secretly found a jailer to help him deliver the message.

Chen Guanlou has always turned a blind eye to these things and cannot stop them. A sieve is a sieve, and there are loopholes everywhere.

Unfortunately, two jailers died one after another in the Tianlao. One was choked to death and the other was drowned. All were accidental deaths. Wu Zuo examined the body and found no signs of man-made damage.

Chen Guanlou didn't believe it and asked Lao Zhangtou to come forward.

Lao Zhang shook his head, "There is no doubt about the cause of death, and there are no signs of man-made accidents. Such accidents happen every year. You are too suspicious."

Chen Guanlou said with a straight face, "I don't think my suspicion is serious. Do you really not see the problem? Not at all?"

Seeing his insistence, Lao Zhangtou checked again, "If there is any doubt, the nails of the two corpses are too clean. You know better than me what kind of virtue a jailer has. Not everyone is like you, so particular. health."

Chen Guanlou followed Lao Zhangtou's instructions, endured the discomfort, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and checked the nails of the two corpses.

Is it clean?

By his standards, the nails were dirty and needed serious cleaning.

"Is this considered clean?" Chen Guanlou asked Lao Zhangtou.

Lao Zhangtou rolled his eyes, "You can find two jailers and compare them, and you will know whether they are clean or not."

Just do it. Chen Guanlou returned to Tianyao, gathered the jailers, and checked their fingernails one by one.

Damn it, I can't even see it.

Do these people wash their hands and never pay attention to the hygiene of their fingers?

Lao Zhangtou was right. The nails of the two dead jailers were slightly clean, which did not suit their status as jailers.

He asked Lao Zhangtou, "What does this mean?"

Lao Zhangtou told him, "It means that before the two corpses were discovered by the government officials, someone had moved them. The nails had been scrubbed. Maybe there was something contaminated in the nails that was not suitable for people to see, so they were scrubbed off. "

"Man-made?"

"You can't judge it to be man-made just by looking at the nails. It can only be said to be suspicious. Just give up, it can't be found out. For so many years, the truth has never been found out about the death of a jailer."

Chen Guanlou understood what Lao Zhangtou meant.

If there is really any interest involved in the job of jailer, it is nothing more than following the prisoners in the prison. The death of a jailor usually involves the prisoners in the prison and the cases behind them. Being imprisoned in the Sky Prison, any one of them taken out alone would be a major case. The death of a mere jailer is not worth mentioning.

Even if he was killed by the prisoners in the cell together with outsiders, it is not worth investigating, and there is no need to create additional complications. The death of a mere jailer was not taken seriously by the Ministry of Punishment, and it was not qualified for Six Doors to waste manpower and force on the investigation.

In the end, the result is the same: accidental death, case closed!

Chen Guanlou slammed his fist on the wooden board.

This time, he was not going to be silent, he was going to beat the prisoners in the cell.

He asked Xiao Jin to secretly investigate which prisoners had secretly contacted the outside world during the recent period and which jailers were involved.

Although the Tianlao is a sieve, you can still find something if you really want to check it.

Soon, Xie Changling's name appeared on the list.

Chen Guanlou slowly came to the cell door, holding a water and fire stick and knocking on the cell door fence, "Master Xie, what does it mean to be the jailer of my heaven?"
