"What do you think of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony in the spring of next year?" Sun Daoning knew that Chen Guanlou was pretending to be stupid, so he decisively gave up the specious and vague statement and chose to go straight to the point. If you don’t believe that the other party can continue to act stupid. As a slightly "bad" actor, Chen Guanlou chose to continue pretending. He tilted his head, made a thinking gesture, and finally replied seriously: "I plan to lie down and watch." At that moment, Sun Daoning's expression was extremely twisted and ferocious, and he wanted to strangle the other person to death. After taking several deep breaths and repeatedly advising myself that I don't need to be on the same level as the other person, I managed to suppress my anger. "Prisoner Chen, are you planning to pretend to be stupid until the end?" "Sir, I'm just a little jailer, not even an official. How can I be so worthy of being valued by the adults? I'm so scared inside! What the adults want me to do, I might as well just give it to me directly. There's really no need. Listen to my ideas and suggestions. I can’t give you any valuable ideas or suggestions.” Chen Guanlou called Qu. As a jailer, he is really very self-conscious. He never oversteps his authority and never thinks too highly of himself. Only do the errands that are assigned to you and never interfere in other things. However, some people always want him to work more, but they don't give him money, and they make up their mind to have sex for free. There is no such good thing in the world.
The thing he hates most is being prostituted for free and working overtime for free. It's easy for him to do things. As long as he pays a sufficient price, he actually doesn't mind working overtime. All the prisoners in the prison understand this, why doesn't Sun Daoning understand it? Or is it that the other party is pretending to be stupid? Sun Daoning squinted his eyes and seemed to realize that he had used the wrong method. To deal with the old fools like Tianlao, you can't use official tactics. Although Chen Guanlou is different from other Tianlao jailers, they are all the same in nature: they insist on money. "Prisoner Chen, how much money do you need before you are willing to work for me?" "It is a small duty and an honor to share the worries of adults." Chen Guanlou said in cheap mandarin. He will not be fooled unless the other party takes the initiative to give a bid. Sun Daoning chuckled, "I'm telling you the truth, no one from the Punishment Department is dispatched. We can only rely on Tianlao's own strength to protect the rebel King Ming. If King Ming is kidnapped, Tianlao will bear all the responsibilities. At that time, the palace will investigate, You will all be beheaded." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, indifferent. He had already guessed this, and it was not surprising at all. Some people wish that King Ming would die in prison. "Aren't you afraid?" Sun Daoning was slightly surprised. Chen Guanlou asked in reply: "My lord, you may have something more to say, but why don't you finish it all at once? There is really no need to test me. I am really indifferent." Sun Daoning was furious. It was the first time he met a guy who refused to accept either soft or hard words. No words seemed to work. It seems that money will have to be used to clear the way. However, as a dignified official of the imperial court, he was really uncomfortable with being asked to speak in the most vulgar and inferior language, as if he himself had become vulgar. He endured the discomfort and said: "If you are willing to do what I asked, I will do my best to protect everyone in the Tianlao afterwards. You can rest assured about this. You can go outside to inquire about my credibility. In addition, I I’ll give you another hard-earned fee, how about it?” "How much does it cost?" Chen Guanlou asked simply. The wind was blowing loudly, but he still liked to stay indoors to keep warm in the winter. "Five hundred taels, how about it?" "Sir, my current worth is no longer what I can do for five hundred taels. Unless you are a prison officer in the prison, mutual benefit is more or less the same for everyone."
"Chen Guanlou, you are very presumptuous." "I just told you the truth. In fact, even if you refuse to protect Tianlao, if something happens to King Daming, the people in Tianlao may not die. King Daming is so important. If something happens to him, the whole court will be shaken. By then, the court would be too busy with quarrels to pay attention to the small and inconspicuous Tianlao. Secondly, it was the Ministry of Punishment that fought hard to win over King Ming. If something happened to King Ming, it would be the Ministry of Punishment that would bear the brunt. I will miss the opportunity to add insult to injury. At that time, you may not be able to protect yourself, so how can you save the prison for only five hundred taels? The price is too low for me to work for you. " Sun Daoning was angry at first, but soon he laughed and said, "Prisoner Chen, you have shown your true colors and spoken your mind. It is really not easy to hear the truth from you." Chen Guanlou spread his hands and said, "I asked you to keep talking for a long time, but you didn't get to the key point. It's so cold in such a cold weather. I want to go back to the house early, so I can only say a few words of truth. I also ask you to say something useful." If so." "What I want you to do is very simple. Just turn a blind eye. Afterwards, I will definitely protect you and give you a reward. If you think five hundred taels is too little, then a thousand How about two?” "It's not that great." Chen Guanlou still had a disgusted face, "The Marquis sent me to do something, and the price is so high." He gestured with a few fingers at the other party, "Your Excellency, you sent me to do something, and I have to bear the risk of my life. , only a thousand taels. Hehe! But to put it another way, I am not short of money, but there are many people outside who are short of money. In fact, you can use this money to find someone else to cooperate with you, just like you. As the saying goes, if you turn a blind eye, someone will inevitably jump out to share your worries. " "Do you know what I want to do?" Sun Daoning asked curiously. Chen Guanlou smiled at the other party, "I don't need to know your purpose. I just know that you don't really want to protect the safety of King Ming. It's enough." Sun Daoning looked at him with complicated eyes and took a deep breath, "You have to protect the safety of the Great Ming King. This is the task assigned to you by this official." Chen Guanlou: ... Haha! "You think one thousand taels is too little and you don't want to earn it. This matter is invalid. Today, just pretend that nothing happened." "My lord, just send someone in. I promise to turn a blind eye and never interfere." Chen Guanlou said, "And I don't want a penny." Sun Daoning frowned and looked very irritated. Chen Guanlou smiled at him, "What I am best at is turning a blind eye. The A-shaped prison is like a sieve. Everything can be sent in and everything can be sent out. As long as it does not destroy the surface harmony and integrity of the A-shaped prison, I have always been doing things in the gaps between my fingers and can only see the things in the gaps between my fingers. If there are a little more things, I can't see anything and become blind." Sun Daoning also laughed, and his mood seemed to become very happy all of a sudden. "It's not bad to be blind. I want to be one but I can't." "You are the Minister of Justice, you can't be blind. If you don't have any other instructions, I will go back to the house to warm myself by the fire, please do as you please."
