Chapter 621 The Sensible Li Family
The Li family actually went to Tianlao to speak for Liu Jinxing.
Something is wrong!
After some indirect investigation, we finally got to know a little bit of the inside story.
Li Ren was implicated in Liu Jinxing's case. Someone wanted to make a fuss about Li Ren and pointed the sword at Li Shangshu.
At present, Liu Jinxing is still useful, and the Li family still hopes to use Liu Jinxing to take all the charges and get Li Ren out. As the saying goes, there should be no fire in the backyard when there is a war in the front.
So, the Li family came forward and asked the Ministry of Justice to help and temporarily save Liu Jinxing. The Li family needs his confession. Before getting the confession, the person cannot die. For the confession, at least give him some sweetness.
The Li family had never dealt with Tianlao before, but they did some homework before coming and knew that Chen Yucheng of Tianlao only recognized money and not people.
So, very straightforwardly, the Li family directly offered silver.
"Please ask Chen Yucheng to look after Liu Jinxing. It is our Li family's fault to cause trouble to the prison warden. Please accept this little gift!"
The wooden box containing the banknotes was right next to Chen Guanlou.
Mu Qingshan stepped forward, gently opened the wooden box, and closed it again in a blink of an eye. This time was enough for Chen Guanlou to see the things inside clearly and estimate the value.
The Li family was quite generous.
Chen Guanlou smiled, "Hey, a good young man, but he chose to be a bad guy and was caught in the act."
"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Prison Warden is teaching us that it is all because of our poor supervision. We didn't know that Young Master Liu showed his true nature when he arrived at the local area, and we failed to detect it in time, resulting in such serious consequences. Lord Prison Warden, rest assured, the Li family has sent people to the local area to give an explanation to the local people and make full compensation to the victims."
Chen Guanlou chuckled when he heard this, "Your Li family is really kind and righteous, no wonder you are named Li Ren. Okay, I will give the order, Give Mr. Liu a decent look. And let the doctor examine his body and treat him well to ensure that he will not die. "
"Thank you, Lord Prison Chief. I have another unwelcome request."
"You say!"
"Can I see Mr. Liu and tell him a few words? The master at home is really worried. If he doesn't see him, he will cry his eyes out."
Chen Guanlou smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Come, take this steward to the C-shaped prison to visit the prisoner Liu Jinxing. Be sure to serve him well."
The jailer took the task and took people to the prison.
The steward of the Li family was shocked when he saw Liu Jinxing's miserable appearance. No wonder the Liu family had to force the Li family to take action. The means of the Tianlao were too horrible, comparable to the imperial prison next door.
He didn't think about it. If the person was imprisoned in the imperial prison, he would have no chance to visit the prisoner.
There are only two kinds of people who can enter the imperial prison, one is the government, and the other is the criminal.
Visiting does not exist in the imperial prison.
Fortunately, Liu Jinxing is not dead and can still breathe.
The manager of the Li family took the time to tell Liu Jinxing, but was urged by the jailer to leave the prison.
Chen Guanlou took the money and had to save face. He ordered people to transfer Liu Jinxing to a single cell and asked Doctor Mu to check him and prescribe medicine and treatment.
Doctor Mu was very curious, "How much money did the Li family give? Your attitude changed so quickly?"
"The Li family was quite generous. They gave three thousand taels in one go."
Doctor Mu exclaimed when he heard this, "It seems that this case is big!"
"That's right! Maybe in a few days, that Li Ren will come to the Tianlao as a guest."
Chen Guanlou's crow mouth was blessed.
He really got it right.
A few days later, Li Ren was sent to the Tianlao and was imprisoned in the Jia-shaped prison.
Chen Guanlou went to take a look.
Chen Quan was waiting on the side, "Sir, the Li family has paid according to the rules, and also bought a few sets of meals, all of which are not cheap."
"So sensible?" Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The Li family is not only sensible. Knowing that you like antiques and calligraphy and paintings, they said that they are unsure about a few calligraphy and paintings, and would like to ask you to appreciate them."
Chen Guanlou laughed out loud when he heard this.
"The Li family is generous enough. In this case, it would be unreasonable if I don't give the Li family some face. I think the Li family is going to be in big trouble this time. If someone targets them, they will definitely not be able to get away without losing a layer of skin."
It is even possible that they will not be able to get away even if they try their best.
Li Jinxing was the fuse for cleaning up the Li family. From Liu Jinxing to Li Ren and then to Li Shangshu of the Li family, this series of events clearly showed that someone had already targeted the Li family and wanted to attack the Li family.
Liu Jinxing is like the eight hundred taels of silver of the young cabinet minister Yan Shifan. Compared with hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver, eight hundred taels is nothing. However, it was these eight hundred taels that became the fuse for the fall of the Yan Party.
So, will Liu Jinxing be the fuse for the fall of the Li family?
Chen Guanlou greeted Li Ren, "Are you used to living here, Lord Li?"
"Are you Chen Yucheng?"
"Yes!"
Li Ren is in his thirties, with a small tuft of beard and a slightly fat body. He just entered the prison, and his whole body is quite neat. But the worry on his brows has not dissipated, and his whole face looks very bitter.
"I didn't expect Chen Yucheng to be so young and promising!"
"Lord Li is really good at talking. Your brother-in-law is imprisoned in the C-shaped prison. If Lord Li is willing, this official can make the decision to transfer him here and be your neighbor."
"Thank you, Chen Yucheng, this matter is troublesome."
You are really welcome.
Chen Guanlou smiled and said, "It's no trouble. Lord Li is a good person, so I am willing to help him. But I am a little curious, Lord Li is so smart, why didn't he discover your brother-in-law's evil deeds in all these years?"
"Alas!" Li Ren sighed, "It's all my fault that I was busy with official business and neglected the inner house, and was deceived by my wife. My wife was deceived by that little beast Liu Jinxing. In the end, it caused today's disaster. I regret it!"
Tsk tsk...
Look, the mistakes were made by others, and I am pure and innocent, a white lotus in the prosperous world.
"Don't be in a hurry to regret, Lord Li, the days in the prison are boring, and the days of regret are still to come. Lord Li, if you have any other needs, please raise them together, and I will satisfy you if I can."
Li Ren was not polite and took the opportunity to make a request, "Can you give me a few books? If there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone, it would be even better."
"It's a small matter, I'll ask someone to send it to you later. Is there anything else?"
"Can you give me a pot of wine? I want to relieve my worries!"
"Okay! The Li family has paid enough silver, and there is enough wine. Come, tell the servants to clean Lord Li's cell well and make sure Lord Li lives more comfortably."
The jailer took the order.
Li Ren looked extremely grateful and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Chief Prison Officer. When I get out in the future, I will definitely spread the word about your kindness and justice!"
"Haha... It's a deal. I also hope that Mr. Li can get out soon."
What a waste!
With the current aggressive situation, Li Ren may not be able to get out this year.
Next year?
Either die, be exiled, or be released from prison!
It all depends on whether the Li family has enough means to withstand this wave of aggressive attacks!
