Manager Liu of the Hou Mansion sent someone to invite Chen Guanlou to come over for a drink, saying that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to get together. Chen Guanlou:...... What's there to get together with? But thinking about the free drinks, he went anyway. Carrying a bag of soy sauce beef and a jug of wine, he came to Liu's house. The door opened by Liu Xiaochuan, the porter, still had a dead look on his face. Chen Guanlou stepped into the door and asked curiously, "Have you ever been beaten?" Liu Xiaochuan rolled his eyes at him, and then told him, "I'm getting married next month, so remember to come for the wedding banquet." "You, getting married? Who is the bride? Does she like you?" Chen Guanlou said with a smile. "Xiujuan and I are getting married." After Liu Xiaochuan finished speaking, he smiled, looking particularly annoying. Chen Guanlou hummed, and asked Xiujuan, the maid next to Liu Wanshi. What a blessing!
"You are also thinking about Xiujuan, you have no chance!" Liu Xiaochuan taunted her with full skill points. "Don't slander me whether you care about it or not." Chen Guanlou firmly denied it. Liu Xiaochuan chuckled, and his face clearly said: You made it up! You keep making it up! Let me see if you can weave a flower. Chen Guanlou was furious and did not know the other party. He walked through the screen wall and entered the Liu Mansion. When Manager Liu saw Chen Guanlou, he was very enthusiastic and said, "The building is here, sit down quickly. You are a rare guest. If I don't invite you, will you refuse to come?" "You are joking. You are in charge of the Marquis Mansion and have a lot of things to do every day. How can I come to your door and disturb you at will? However, as long as you say hello, I will definitely come. No, today I hurried over as soon as I got home." Give a gift and take a seat at the guest table. Manager Liu laughed. He was very satisfied with Chen Guanlou's attitude. "It's fine when people come. Bring any gifts." Then he ordered his servants to take down the beef and wine to heat up. "Xiaolou, let's have a drink first." "I respect you!" Chen Guanlou picked up the wine glass, "Thanks to your help, I am where I am today. I did it, you can do whatever you want." Manager Liu didn't do it casually, but followed along. The two of them were drinking and chatting about home affairs. When the eldest master was away, the Marquis Mansion became lively. Look at what he said, as if the old man is a scourge. The fact is that if the eldest master is at home, no matter whether it is the first or second bedroom, he will not dare to have fun. Many unnecessary banquets have been cancelled. As soon as the eldest master left, the second house became independent again. The days from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month were arranged, and there were banquets every day. I was not idle during the twelfth lunar month. I was treating guests to wine every day. Chen Guanlou became more and more curious. The Hou Mansion was so busy, but Manager Liu had time to treat him to a drink. He remained calm and chatted with her. He had such a good drinking capacity that Manager Liu couldn't hold on any longer and took the initiative to bring the conversation back to business. "Xiaolou, you know the Meng family, right?" "Which Meng family?" Chen Guanlou pretended to be stupid. He knew clearly that Manager Liu invited him to drink for Zhao Laosi's sake. Tsk… "They are the two prisoners who were transferred to the sky jail before." "Oh!" Chen Guanlou looked like he suddenly realized, "Those two people are already dead. They committed suicide and couldn't stop them. To be honest, the two brothers were really miserable. Not only did their tongues be cut out, but also their tongues were cut off. His life is gone. Even a good man can't do it. No wonder he committed suicide. It's a shame that I let the medical officer do his best to treat him."
Manager Liu frowned, "Did you really cut off your tongue and lifeblood?" "The Meng family took the body back, didn't the Meng family say anything?" Guanshi Liu picked up the wine glass and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't believe it." "How can outsiders see such a thing that brings shame to our ancestors?" Manager Liu's eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons. Chen Guanlou followed his words and asked, "I heard someone said that this matter is related to Zhao Laosi? Didn't the Meng family seek revenge from Zhao Laosi?" Manager Liu suddenly came to his senses, "If the Meng family wants to take revenge, they have to see if they have the ability. However, I heard that someone was plotting against Zhao Laosi behind his back, and even the Jinyi guards moved." He stared at Chen Guanlou. . Chen Guanlou looked confused, then sneered, "You don't think I'm plotting against Zhao Laosi, do you? You think highly of me too much, Chief Jin Yiwei. Manager Liu, Uncle Liu, who on earth turned a deaf ear to you? You actually You will doubt me. I am a little jailer with no abilities." "Don't underestimate yourself, Xiaolou. You are very capable. Although you are a jailer, you have the final say over the size of the A-shaped prison. That land is your territory. No one can stop you from doing what you want to do." "No, don't flatter me. I don't know where you got the news from. I just want to say that Zhao Laosi's matter has nothing to do with me. I'm not familiar with Jin Yiwei." Chen Guanlou looked extremely serious with a straight face. . Manager Liu narrowed his eyes slightly. Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, "What's the matter? The Hou Mansion wants to stand up for Zhao Laosi?" Manager Liu suddenly laughed, "You can't just turn a blind eye to relatives who have gone to the Hou Mansion for help. The second young lady wants to lose face!" "Then you can't accuse me unjustly." "I heard someone said that the Meng family paid a sum of money to Tianlao." "You are well informed. You did pay a sum of money to the prison, but that is the rule. When you enter the A-shaped prison, you have to pay money regardless of your identity. For the sake of the suffering of the two Meng brothers, I specially Is this why Uncle Liu doubts me?" "But as far as I know, this money has not been included in the public accounts." Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes instantly. There is a ghost in the prison. Only a few people know whether money goes into public accounts or not. Manager Liu told the matter accurately and was well-informed. Tianlao is indeed a sieve. He sneered, "It's none of your business whether it's in the public account or not. You're not an official of the Ministry of Punishments, so you have no qualifications to ask about the accounts of Tianlao." He simply turned his back and tore off his hypocritical face. Manager Liu was really shocked and seemed to find it difficult to accept that Chen Guanlou was so arrogant in front of him, without even giving him any face. His face also darkened, "Young people, it is inevitable to be passionate and impulsive. However, you can't mess with some people just because you want to, so you have to know how to deal with them." "You are teaching me how to do things." Chen Guanlou tapped the table lightly and sneered, "First, what evidence do you have to prove that I am plotting against Zhao Laosi? Zhao Laosi has offended so many people, why do you think of me? . Second, my surname is Chen, and you are the steward of the Chen family. You are trying to frame the Chen family for outsiders. Do you think the elder will allow this to happen? " "The eldest master is not in the capital." "So you can do whatever you want? A mere Zhao Laosi gave the Second Young Mistress a lot of money and asked you to work hard to help him, and he also tried to frame me." Chen Guanlou's expression was half-smiling, "I'm not afraid of the hot money." "Young people, don't think that you won't take others into consideration after you have achieved some achievements. Second Young Madam, you can't afford to offend me. If you are responsible for this matter, I hope you will let go of it as soon as possible. If it is not your fault, just treat it as It's a misunderstanding." Chen Guanlou sneered and stood up, "It seems that I can't continue to drink this wine. I have remembered your old man's teachings. Please tell the Second Young Mistress and the Zhao family that this matter has nothing to do with me. Zhao Laosi himself If he is not a human being, no one is allowed to deal with him, who is he?”
