"Master Zhu is so humble. Master Zhu's talent and learning are obvious to all." Chen Guanlou flattered. Zhu Ruhai waved his hands repeatedly, "Chen Yuucheng, please don't flatter me. I don't even read books now, so how can I learn anything. Chen Yuucheng is young. If you are willing to endure hardship, you can consider taking the imperial examination career. With the ability of the Marquis Mansion, as long as you can obtain the title, The future of officialdom is not a problem.” Chen Guanlou lowered his head and smiled, and the topic suddenly changed, "I had to make a leisurely trip to the Ministry of Justice two days ago to help sort out the old files. By coincidence, I happened to look through the case files of the theft at the Earl's Mansion more than ten years ago." Jailer Zhang on the side seemed to understand, but he didn't understand why the theft case from more than ten years ago was suddenly mentioned. Zhu Ruhai's expression in the cell changed, but he quickly returned to normal, pursed his lips and remained silent. Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a half-smile, and continued, "The amount of the theft was huge, and it is said that it alarmed the palace back then. I saw many names on the case file, and by coincidence, Master Zhu, your name is also on it. " Zhu Ruhai remained silent. Chen Guanlou didn't care about his attitude, "I'm very curious. Mr. Zhu also knows that young people are very curious. So, I took the time to find out more about the servants of the Earl's Mansion who had experienced this. All of them are gone. Either they were sent to a remote area, died of illness, or had an accident... In short, the Earl's Mansion can no longer find the servants who experienced this. The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. " "What exactly do you want to say?" Zhu Ruhai asked sharply with a cold expression.
Chen Guanlou ignored the other party's attitude, "Shortly after the theft, about three to five months ago, Mr. Zhu, you suddenly gave up your studies and engaged in business according to the family's arrangements. Many years later, you have reached today's scale Achievement." Zhu Ruhai narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Guanlou, "I don't remember ever offending you." Chen Guanlou burst out laughing and waved his hands repeatedly, "Master Zhu misunderstood, of course you have not offended me." "Then why are you going over old scores and why are you deliberately targeting me?" "You're wrong! No one targeted you intentionally." "That's nonsense." Chen Guanlou sneered, "Master Zhu, you take yourself too seriously, and you don't understand the rules of the prison at all. You are not qualified to deliberately target you. Let me tell you this, any prisoner who enters the Tianlao, no matter what his status is, whether he is a high-ranking official or a prince, as long as he is wealthy, he must make necessary contributions to the development and growth of the Tianlao. Contributions are best expressed in monetary terms. The greater the net worth, the greater the contribution. Our Tianlao will naturally provide corresponding services to ensure the satisfaction of the prisoners and strive to be good to you, me and everyone. I wish you such a smart man. I thought that after the jailers took action, you should have some understanding and cooperate well. You lost a little money in exchange for the peace and comfort of prison life. Both parties get what they need and cooperate happily. I never expected that Mr. Zhu, you would be a money-hungry person. You made everyone very embarrassed! " Zhu Ruhai was furious. He has seen thick-skinned people, but he has never seen anyone thicker-skinned than him. Today I really refreshed my knowledge. Being so shameless at such a young age, does the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion know? He sternly reprimanded: "You are clearly blackmailing and beautifying the packaging as a contribution. Chen Guanlou, do you want face? Do the people in the Criminal Department know what you have done? You are not afraid of me getting out." Chen Guanlou smiled again. Laughing at the other person's stupidity for using his identity to oppress him. He mocked, "Master Zhu, Master Zhu, what should I say to you? You said we blackmailed you, okay, just treat it as blackmail, so what. Do you think the Ministry of Punishment doesn't know? They know everything. They wish I could extort more money from them. If Tianlao has money, they will have money. The more money Tianlao has, the more money they have. As for whether I am afraid that you will poke me out, this matter can be divided into two points in time.
The prison officials before me had many concerns, and they had to be careful with people with backgrounds like you, and they did not dare to ask for donations of gold and silver at will. I'm afraid that if you are unhappy, you will find trouble after you go out. Now that I am serving as the Prison Superintendent, it is time to change the rules of the large and small prisons in the size B of the Tianlao. My attitude is to treat everyone equally. The prisoners in the A-shaped prison next door all know how to contribute money and contribute to the development of the prison. Why don't you guys pay a penny? Still want to be arrogant and domineering. " "Blackmail is blackmail!" "It's just blackmailing you, so what can you do." Chen Guanlou's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and his eyes were cold. "Master Zhu, you don't seem to understand your situation clearly. I am standing here now, as the Prime Minister of Tianlao Prison. You speak. If you are sensible, you should cooperate and abide by the rules of Tianlao, and don't be stingy with the money you should pay. If everyone accepts the money, they will naturally provide you with corresponding services. If you insist on not eating oil or salt, and not eating hard or soft, you are forcing me to talk to you as a warrior. Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to force me to treat you as a warrior? I'm afraid you can't bear it. " Zhu Ruhai's face turned livid with anger, and he gritted his teeth, "Chen Guanlou, you keep saying that Tianlao charges money to do things, and that children are innocent. However, I have nothing to do with you Tianlao." "You can look for trouble when you have nothing to do! Why is Mr. Zhu so pedantic? You have to drink, eat, read, have the four treasures of the study, and have people to serve you... everything is trouble. As long as there is trouble, you have to collect money, deal fairly, and be honest." "Shameless!" "Thank you for your compliment, Master Zhu." Chen Guanlou smiled, "Master Zhu, have you figured it out? Have you decided to cooperate with the rules of the Tianlao, or do you want to communicate in a different way?" His expression clearly said: Don't be shameless! His patience is limited. Not revealing the theft case today is already a face-saving thing for the Zhu family. If Zhu Ruhai knows what's good for him, just give him money to buy peace. If he doesn't, don't blame him for dragging the Zhu family into the water. "Chen Guanlou, do people outside know that you are openly asking for bribes?" "Hahaha..." Chen Guanlou laughed out loud, "Master Zhu got a few things wrong. First, the Tianlao is not a government office. There are only lowly jailers here. How can you ask for bribes? Do the prisoners in the A-shaped prison next door admit it? Second, it is a default rule for the Tianlao to pay money. Even if you expose this matter one day, the higher-ups will not ask about it. Instead, you, who broke the rules of the officialdom, will be collectively banned. Third, since there is no solicitation of bribes, everything can only be received. Money gets things done, fair trade. Even if the lawsuit is brought before the emperor, do you think the palace will support the Tianlao or you, Master Zhu? The palace knows that the Ministry of Revenue has no money and the Ministry of Justice is short of money? Tianlao asks prisoners to pay, and the bulk of it goes to the Ministry of Justice, sharing the worries of the Ministry of Justice, the court, and His Majesty. What's wrong with that? If you make this public, you are slapping the face of the Ministry of Justice, the court, and His Majesty. How many lives do you, Zhu Ruhai, have to kill? How much foundation does the Chengenbo Mansion have to withstand the anger of His Majesty and the collective suppression of the court? "
