"Why should I ask you to pay for it?" Jiang Tu roared fiercely. There has always been money in and money out, but Marquis Pingjiang actually turned his thoughts on himself, which was too much! The person who conveyed the message was Qiu Defu's godson Huang Defa. He looked at the crazy Jiang Tu with a trepidation on his face, but in his heart he was laughing like crazy. After Jiang Tu finished complaining, he said, "Master Jiang, you are His Majesty's most loyal minister, so you have to share His Majesty's worries!" Jiang Tu glared. He gave Qiu Defu face, but he would not give Huang Defe face. "What do you mean?" "Your Majesty is also aware of this matter." Huang Defa bowed slightly and said, "Master Jiang, please don't miss your Majesty's important event." Jiang Tu suddenly frowned and said, "Eunuch Huang, please speak clearly. What exactly does that lame Marquis Pingjiang want to do?" "What the Marquis means is that if Mr. Jiang pays for it, he will come forward and be willing to take over this job for His Majesty. And he has guaranteed the price to be no less than five hundred thousand taels." "Fifty thousand taels? Is he capable of raising so much money?" "So, Mr. Jiang is still needed to help. This is what His Majesty means."
"Then it's impossible for me to pay one hundred thousand taels. Why doesn't Cripple grab it?" Jiang Tu was furious. He had reason to suspect that Marquis Pingjiang was taking the opportunity to blackmail him. Huang Defa lowered his eyes and lowered his head, keeping silent and just drinking tea. He has already brought the words, and he has no control over whether Jiang Tu does it or not. Anyway, if it delays His Majesty's business, it won't be his turn to be blamed. He is only responsible for delivering messages, not collecting money. "The cripple is bullying others too much! How can Your Majesty tolerate the lame man like this? No, I want to go to the palace to face the saint." When Huang Defa heard this, he stood up immediately and said, "In this case, our family will return to the palace first." After that, he took Xiao Huangmen and left Jiang Mansion. Once the others left, Jiang Tu calmed down. A mere hundred thousand taels was nothing to him. He just wasn't willing to be fooled by the lame man. He didn't cause trouble for the lame man, but the lame man attacked him instead. It was really unreasonable. It was obvious that he was trying to bully him into not wanting to fight on both sides. Now that he was fighting to the death with the civil servants, if he provoked the nobles again and asked them all to join the battle, he could not even imagine the scene. Jiang Tu kept a straight face and went smoothly for many years. Civil servants could not kill him, and military generals could not kill him, which made him extremely arrogant in his heart. Do you want to take this opportunity to weigh your honor? After thinking about it, reason prevailed. "A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Sooner or later he will get rid of the cripple." He shared the old emperor's worries and gave out one hundred thousand taels. Then he had to show his face in front of the old emperor and praise his achievements again and again. If you pay one hundred thousand taels, you will reap doubled benefits. After figuring out this link, Jiang Tu was very proud and had already thought about how to ask for rewards after meeting the old emperor. … In the sky prison, the guards all put on thick coats and hid in the room to warm themselves by the fire. It's such a cold day, and I'm not willing to work in the prison. It was so cold inside the prison that it could freeze someone to death. Just as the fire was heating up, bad news came. Because of the snowstorm, people's houses collapsed and many people died, so the court decided to provide disaster relief. But because the imperial court could not come up with enough mountain silver, it organized officials to raise donations from wealthy families. Even the jailer in Tianlao did not let him go and also wanted to donate money. "Why!" "We only got a few dollars, and we are still asked to donate money. This is almost unbearable." "The public's food is the public's food. This meal is obviously raw." "How much will be donated? Have you said anything yet?"
"The imperial court has gone too far. They even worry about the money we have. I don't believe that the imperial court will be so poor. Even if the imperial court is really that poor, it shouldn't have its thoughts on us. Those high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and family members of the royal family , which one doesn’t have a rich family? If you build a few palaces in the palace, you will have everything.” "Hush, don't risk your life, it's all nonsense." "Whoever dares to stop His Majesty from repairing the palace will suffer the consequences of those prisoners in the prison." "Don't say a few words. Master Niu has given an order. Each person must pay at least two hundred cash and hand it over within three days." "Grab the money!" "It's too much." "Sell me to settle the matter." "I can't do this job anymore." The prison was in a mess, and everyone was complaining. Niu Yucheng couldn't hear the noise outside, so he ordered his confidant Xiao Xu, "Tell the jailers to shut up. What's the point of making noise?" Xiao Xu was promoted by him from the county government. After following him for more than ten years, he can definitely be trusted. After Xiao Xu was transferred here, he worked hard and got a job as a jailer, but he didn't go to the prison and was only responsible for helping him handle official duties. Such behavior made the wardens in charge of prisons A, B, and C all breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Niu Jiucheng has no intention of replacing them, he is a good official. Xiao Xu is a thoughtful person. He has just arrived and lacks prestige. The jailers were making a lot of noise at this time and might not be willing to listen to him. After thinking about it, he gave orders to the three jailers A, B and C respectively, asking them to take good care of the people under their command. As long as the jailers of the three major prisons can be restrained, other idle jailers will not be a problem. Xu Fugui and Warden Zhang, who served in the B-shaped prison, agreed readily and worked quickly. In the A-shaped prison, Mr. Xiao Fan has nothing to do, so Chen Guanlou can only come forward. When Chen Guanlou showed up, he glared and said only one sentence, "Is there nothing to do?" As soon as the words fell, the jailers dispersed. This majesty, this intimidating power made Xu Fugui and the others dazzled. "Xiao Chen, you can do it! The jailers in the A-shaped prisons are all under your control. Why don't you tell Prime Minister Niu and let you be the jailer?" Xu Fugui looked cheerful. Chen Guanlou's face immediately collapsed, "Uncle Xu, how could you harm me! There is no enmity or enmity between us..." "Why did I harm you? Look at you, you don't have the identity of a jailer, but you are doing the work of a jailer, and you let the Prime Minister Niu promote you, I am doing it for your own good!" "Uncle Xu, if you are really good for me, stop talking. Mr. Xiao Fan is not free today, so I will share the worries for you. But when it comes to you, it becomes a grab for work and power. Who do you think I am? ” Deep down in his heart, Chen Guanlou disliked Xu Fugui. He had a bad mouth and disliked other people's kindness. He deliberately provoked conflicts in the prison. Don't do human affairs! We must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. "Look at how anxious you are, okay, I'll just keep it quiet." Xu Fugui smiled, really intending to provoke others into watching a good show. In the past, he was a small jailer. He climbed up the ranks in just two or three years. He made a lot of money and had the ability to evade jailer Fan. Humph, if you don't give me some clues, you don't know how high the sky is. It was impossible for him to calmly accept that the former little jailer climbed up to his equal position. No matter what you say, suppress it. Jailer Zhang watched the whole play. He is a smart man and does not take sides easily. He understood Xu Fugui's thoughts.
But he didn't think Xu Fugui had the ability to defeat Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou is not an ordinary jailer, but a jailer who is backed by the Hou Mansion and has no shortage of money. Niu Jiucheng is a native of the capital. It can be seen from the other party's choice to reuse Chen Guanlou that Niu Jiucheng understands the underlying ecology of the capital.
