Will the Wei family be willing to accept Xu Lin being imprisoned in a cell? Definitely not! No, the next day, the steward of the Wei family came to the door, gave money, and asked Chen Guanlou to "take care of" Xu Lin. "To what extent?" Chen Guanlou glanced at the banknotes on the table and asked indifferently. "Let him have a taste of my third master and cut off his life." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Wei Laosan's lifeblood is just injured and can be healed with a little care. It's not broken." "It's not broken. But he, Xu Lin, insulted my third master first, and then hurt my third master's life later. If we don't say this, how can our Wei family have any dignity? Chen Yucheng, you are also a member of the Xungui family. . The nobles are all in the same spirit, so we should be more vigilant against those civil servants." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm just the jailer. I'm only responsible for taking care of the prisoners. I never ask about the conflicts between nobles and civil servants. Manager Wei, don't fool me with your big hat." The steward wanted to blame him, but then he thought that people had to bow their heads under the roof. He came to beg for help, not to enmity. So he suppressed the anger in his heart and pushed the banknote forward, "Don't worry, Chen Yuucheng, the Wei family will be grateful to you later." Chen Guanlou chuckled softly, "Whatever happens after the fact is done beforehand. My rules here are to accept money and do things without being deceived. I don't talk about the things that are done after the fact in official circles."
After that, he returned the banknote. Manager Wei was stunned. This clearly meant that the money given to him was too little. He thought to himself, what a big-hearted and greedy heart. Suppressing his displeasure, he tentatively asked, "What does Chen Yuucheng mean?" Chen Guanlou raised his eyelids and said, "Manager Wei, it's pointless for you to ask like this. I've made my words so clear, but you still fight me, is it interesting? I've said it before, I'm not into officialdom, here. They are all rough guys. They are all straightforward. I will do whatever the Wei family can afford to save Xu Laosan’s life. This money is not enough!” "How much is enough?" Manager Wei asked in a low voice. Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, smiled, and gestured with three fingers. Manager Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Three thousand taels?" "Are you kidding? That's a lifeblood, a lifeblood, something more precious than life. In your eyes, Xu Laosan's lifeblood is worth three thousand taels? Get out of here!" Chen Guanlou cursed loudly. , not sensible at all, and still working as a steward of the Hou Mansion. No wonder the Xuanwei Hou Mansion is not as good as it used to be. Look at the stewards, they are at this level, tsk... "Is it 30,000 taels?" Manager Wei was shocked, his voice was trembling as he spoke. Chen Guanlou chuckled, "Otherwise! If it were you, how much would your life be worth?" Manager Wei subconsciously clamped his legs together, feeling a chill in his lower body, and a kind of panic spread in his heart. "Chen Yucheng, don't be joking." He said with a smile. Chen Guanlou sneered, his eyes contemptuous, "I'm not kidding you. If you want to promise Lao San's life, maybe you can do it for a few thousand taels. But if you want his lifeblood, you want him to be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life. He feels like life is worse than death. Just tell me, is it worth thirty thousand taels? Your prison is really a pigsty, and the prisoners in it are worthless! Let me tell you, the prisoners in the sky jail are worth much more than the people outside. One by one, they are all treasures of Tianlao! If you want to touch the lifeblood of the treasure under my hands, tell me whether you have to pay a corresponding price. " "But, but, thirty thousand taels is too expensive." Manager Wei seemed to be convinced, but they couldn't agree on the price. Chen Guanlou laughed and waved to the other party, "That is Mr. Xu's precious son, and he will carry on the family line in the future. If you cut off someone else's life, they will fight for you. Could it be that my life, Chen Guanlou's, is yours?" Not worth it?” "But, Chen Yucheng, you are a warrior..."
"I am a warrior, not a warrior of your Wei family. Why should I dedicate myself to the hatred of your Wei family? Wei Laosan is nothing. Except for money, no one in the Wei family can even think of using me as an official. Even the Marquis. In person, I say the same thing.” The health steward's complexion turned pale, pale and purple, changing frequently. Chen Guanlou softened his tone and said: "Actually, since Wei Laosan is not seriously injured, his vitality can still be used, and it will not affect the inheritance of the family line. It will be enough to teach Xu Laosan a little lesson. For this little money, I tell you the truth, It's enough for Xu Laosan to stay in the torture room for a day or two. I don't want more. But, I have the final say in Tianlao. My rule is that there is no need to make him bloody. How about three days and nine meals, plus no water?” Steward Wei's mouth twitched. Favoritism! Chiguoguo's partiality! "Chen Yuucheng knew Xu Laosan before?" "I don't know." "Why does Chen Yuucheng want to help Xu Laosan?" "It's none of your business!" Chen Guanlou responded rudely, "Qingqing, the key point in my words, Manager Wei, you didn't hear a word of it. I've already said it, I have the final say in Tianlao, I said it Forget it. Don’t you understand or are you pretending to be stupid? Let’s talk to someone smarter next time. I can’t bear to argue with you.” Manager Wei was scolded for a long time, and he didn't dare to say a harsh word. He was afraid that if he said harsh words, he would not be able to get out of the prison gate. I can only roll around in despair. As soon as the Wei family left, the Xu family came, also giving money and asking Chen Guanlou to take care of Xu Lin. The person who came was Xu Lin's fourth brother, who was born as a concubine and was responsible for running the family business at home. He is polite and polite. It can be seen that he has been hanging out in the mall all year round. He advances and retreats appropriately. He is neither arrogant nor humble. He speaks like a spring breeze. Chen Guanlou immediately felt comfortable. The Xu family is still good at dealing with people. No wonder he wants to deal with people who are full of wealth, they speak nicely. Unlike officials, they always put on official airs and are really impatient to serve. Even the steward of the Marquis's Mansion is stained with arrogance, what arrogance! , A servant is in front of him, and he didn't beat him up, which is already because of the same blood between the nobles. Chen Guanlou glanced at the silver bills on the table. Based on his experience of dealing with silver for many years, the amount is actually the same as that of the Wei family, both one thousand taels. The way these two families do things... "To be honest with Mr. Xu Si, the steward of the Wei family just left before you came." Hearing this, Mr. Xu Si's face tightened immediately. Without a word of nonsense, he took out a few more banknotes and put them on the table, "Please take good care of my third brother, Chen Yucheng. He has a bad temper, please don't bother with him." Look, Xu Laosi is more sensible, more tactful, and more capable. He is indeed a man of the scene. He is more thoughtful in his words and deeds than the Wei family's manager. Chen Guanlou smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu Si, I have already informed Mr. Xu San and asked the jailers to take good care of him and will not wrong him. However, if the Wei family comes again tomorrow and insists on throwing money at me, I will be in trouble!" Who can resist money? !
