Three days later, people from Liumen came to interrogate Liu Xianghe with official documents. This time Yang didn't even show his head. Jailer Huang Ye ran to Chen Guanlou and whispered: "Sir, Prisoner Liu Xianghe wants to see you. He said he has something important to discuss." Chen Guanlou is playing with a pot of flowers and plants on the window sill, just for self-cultivation. "He wants to see me? Am I someone he can see if he wants to?" Chen Guanlou sneered. Liu Xianghe didn't know how to praise, so why should he give him face? Huang Ye was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, but he still conveyed the words well, "Prisoner Liu Xianghe said that last time he was obsessed with lard and didn't know how to praise him. This time Liumen came to interrogate him, and he knew his life and death. Unexpectedly, before I left, I wanted to have a few words with you, and said that I would be grateful." After that, he gestured with his fingers, "That's what he said." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Did he really say that?" Huang Ye nodded heavily, "I don't dare to talk nonsense, that's what he said indeed. He seems to know why the Six Gates interrogated him, and repeatedly emphasized that as long as the adults go to see him, he will definitely be grateful." Chen Guanlou was silent for a moment, "Okay, let's go see him for the last time. You ask the head of the Wu squad to drag the people from the six doors. Since you have brought the official documents, then go through the procedures slowly." "I understand, little one."
Huang Ye hurriedly went to deliver the message. Chen Guanlou drank half a cup of tea before going down to the prison to see Liu Xianghe. Liu Xianghe burst into tears when he saw him showing up, as if he were seeing a relative. Chen Guanlou said with disgust: "Time is limited, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly, don't delay the business." "Yes, yes, Prisoner Chen is right." Liu Xianghe put away his tears, lay on the cell door fence, and waved to Chen Guanlou to come closer. Then, he confided in a low voice: "When Yang Dutou interrogates me, he will either ask me for money or take my life. No matter which outcome, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." "What on earth did you commit?" Chen Guanlou asked directly, "Yang Dutou will not ask you about corruption and bribery, it must be something else. Do you have foreign wealth?" "I can't hide anything from Prisoner Chen." Liu Xianghe smiled sadly, looking very sad, "When death is imminent, I will not hide it from Prisoner Chen. I actually raised a group of people outside." "A group of people?" Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. This wording was very particular. Liu Xianghe was still a little embarrassed, "Anyway, I just raised some people to do things for me, and saved some money by the way. My case is not that serious, so I would be exiled if nothing else happened. I originally planned to wait for my exile, and then talk to him again." This group of people contacted each other and took out their belongings to pave the way for the future. Now it seems that Yang Dutou has seen through my plan. " Chen Guanlou groaned, "Who are you raising? Mountain bandits, bandits, water bandits?" Liu Xianghe lowered his head and remained silent. Chen Guanlou sneered, and he knew that these local officials were more courageous than the other, and there was nothing they dared not do. Unlike the officials in the capital, they still pay more or less attention to the appearance of food. "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you, and how much money do you plan to spend to thank me?" Chen Guanlou was too lazy to argue with the other party and went straight to the core issue. Liu Xianghe regained his energy and said hurriedly: "I have a sworn brother. After Yang Dutou interrogates me, I am afraid that we will lose contact with him. Please tell Prisoner Chen a message to my sworn brother and tell me everything." Be well, don’t worry about it.” Chen Guanlou was very surprised, "At this time, instead of sending a message to your family, you sent a message to your sworn brother. You are very close?" Liu Xianghe nodded, then shook his head, "I am a sworn brother and he is a capable person. He will take care of my family for me." "There is no need for me to come forward in person for such a small matter as passing a message. You can find any jailer and give him some money and it can be done." Chen Guanlou didn't believe that the other party was just sending a message. "Of course there are other things that need to trouble Prisoner Chen. If Prisoner Chen is willing to save my life, I will pay this amount."
Ten thousand taels! Sure enough, he had foreign wealth. Compared with the prisoner who had all his property confiscated, he was very proud. "You are a criminal, and your guilt is certain. How can I protect you? Don't think too much, I don't have that ability." "Why should Prisoner Chen be so modest? When I first entered Tianlao, I heard about Prisoner Chen's name from other people. Prisoner Chen can do things that others can't do. Prisoner Chen can handle people who others can't handle. As long as Prisoner Chen Liu would be extremely grateful for rescuing me from the clutches of Six Doors, and I will certainly reward you with a large sum of money." "Why don't you ask your sworn brother to save your life?" "My sworn brother is not that capable and has no connection with the Ministry of Punishments. Prisoner Chen, as long as you are willing to save my life, the price can be negotiated." Chen Guanlou smiled and said, "Six Doors doesn't want your life, maybe it just wants your money. If you hand over the money, you can come back safely." "It's impossible. Yang Dutou is evil and full of malice towards me, I can tell. We people in the officialdom are the most sensitive to this aspect. In officialdom, once we have enemies, we must kill him. We will never Give the other side a chance to counterattack. Yang Dutou is here to take my life, I can see it." Liu Xianghe insisted that Yang Dutou had evil intentions. Chen Guanlou was very curious and asked: "Have you ever offended him? Why did he want your life?" Liu Xianghe obviously still has secrets that he has not revealed. Yang Dutou put down the unfinished case and hurried back to the capital just to interrogate Liu Xianghe, not just for money. If you really want money, you just need to come back before Liu Xianghe is sentenced. There is no need to be in such a hurry. Liu Xianghe gritted his teeth, "It must be because of that matter, it must be because of that matter. Chen the jailer, don't ask. There are some things you don't need to know. The more you know, the more dangerous it is. In short, as long as you are willing to save my life, I will give you a generous reward. If you are worried, I can pay first. I know Chen the jailer is a trustworthy person. As long as I take the money, I will definitely get it done. Chen the jailer, please take my money." "You are talking nonsense all day long. How can I save your life if you refuse to say anything? Let's take a step back. Liushenmen's interrogation of you is legal and compliant. I have no reason to stop it, let alone run to Liushenmen Yamen to make comments. You are also in the officialdom and know the rules of the officialdom. You asked me to run to Liushenmen to save you, which is called overstepping the boundaries and will be hostile to everyone. For a mere 10,000 taels, do I have to do it?" Chen Guanlou is not short of money now. The 20,000 taels of "dowry" left by Zhong Susu? "Thank you"? Together with the money he had saved before, even if he spent money lavishly, the money in his hand was enough for him to live a carefree life for half his life. He had money coming in every month, so he didn't need to earn Liu Xianghe's money. It was obvious that this was a quagmire. He didn't want to dirty his hands. "What conditions do you want to save me? Chen, the jailer, just name your price. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
