When I was on my way home, an incident happened. Chen Guanlou changed his clothes and was about to leave the Yamen when he bumped into Wan Jianwen. The two of them are looking at each other. When someone who doesn't know this sees this scene, they will mistakenly think that they have a deep relationship. Could it be that they are brothers? Chen Guanlou smiled vaguely and took the lead in saying hello. All the wardens had a straight face. When the two of them passed each other, he whispered: "Are you very proud?" Chen Guanlou looked straight ahead. Outside was the bustling capital city and bustling markets. He said softly: "I'm quite proud." "Don't get too proud too early." "You can be proud for a while. If Wan Jian is not convinced, you can beat me!" "you……" Chen Guanlou let out a burst of laughter and left gracefully. He has no interest in chatting with losers.
In the evening, he hosted a banquet for warden Fan. The guests and hosts had a great time, and the money spent was also lost. Chen Guanlou secretly wrapped a letter of money and made up an auspicious number, eighty taels. Others are about the same as him, maybe less than him, at most the gap is only a few tens or tens of taels. The person who made the least amount of money was Li Dahong, who only paid fifty taels of silver. Even this made him grimace and grimace in pain. On the first day of Jailer Fan's duty, he was accompanied by fine wines, delicacies and beauties, and money came into his account. He was filled with excitement and excitement. All he had to do was shout that Tianlao was good, Tianlao was great, and he would stay in Tianlao forever as a errand. When I was young, I didn't know how good Tianlao was, and mistakenly regarded hard study as a treasure. That night, Prisoner Fan hugged the brothel girl and cried seriously. After crying, he secretly vowed that he would work well in the future, maintain the fine traditions of Tianlao, become bigger and stronger, and attract girls who often come to Zuixianglou. When Warden Fan arrived, the large and small prison in the shape of an A-shaped cell was completely new from top to bottom. Li Dahong was obviously left out, and Chen Guanlou came from behind and was reused. Jailer Fan first replenished the number of jailers, and finally the number increased from four to ten. He also used the excuse that he had read books, and he would hand over the account books in the future. This means that the money passed through his hand. Jailer Fan was a good man and reciprocated the favor, giving Chen Guanlou an opportunity to make money. Chen Guanlou:...... Living benefactor! The other prison guards' eyes turned red with jealousy when they saw such a huge benefit falling into his hands. Li Dahong was even more agitated and unhappy, "Those who have studied are different. They are not like rough guys like us, who flatter us even if we flatter them." Chen Guanlou didn't tolerate him, "Li Tou, the money you handed over for the previous three orders was insufficient. I'll give you one day to make up for it quickly." He used to be called Brother Li, but now he’s called Li Tou. Li Dahong rolled his eyes, "What's the problem? What's the problem? Do you know how to count? Do you have eyes?" "Don't call me! If I say you don't count, you don't count." Chen Guanlou put on a show of airs, and he was just using the topic as a pretext today. "Chen Guanlou, you are a villain. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with Prisoner Fan as your backer. When I paid the money, it was full, but why was it not enough in your hands? I want to ask you. , where did the money go.”
Li Dahong shouted at the top of his lungs, wanting everyone to know that Chen Guanlou was greedy for money. The jailers came to the door one after another and looked at each other, not knowing for a moment who to believe. Chen Guanlou sneered, "Li Tou suspects that I embezzled everyone's money? Qian Fugui, can you make an abacus, read the account book, and calculate the accounts for Li Tou in front of everyone? Let's see if he can't. Count, or I don’t know how to count. The money that is not enough will fall into whose pocket. Spread the account book openly in the sun, and take it out of whose pocket there is more money.” Qian Fugui lives up to his name and has been able to make abacus since he was a child. It's a pity that he didn't become a bookkeeper and became a jailer. Today, his skills finally came into use. He picked up the abacus on the spot and started doing calculations. There is no need to do more than one, just the accounts for the last ten days. There were not many accounts for ten days, so I calculated them one by one and the results came out quickly. In front of everyone, Chen Guanlou announced the results of the audit loudly, "Forty percent will be handed over, and 30 percent will be recorded in the public account. According to the account book calculation, Li Tou should have handed over eight hundred and seventy-five taels of silver, but in fact he only handed over 870 taels of silver." Seven hundred and ninety-two taels of silver. Where did the difference of eighty-three taels of silver go? " "I don't know. Anyway, I used to pay enough money. Why did I get to you? I have a problem. Mr. Chen, don't fool me." Li Dahong's eyes rolled around and he pointed his finger directly at Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou threw the account book away and said, "The account book is right here. If you think I'm fooling you. OK, let's go to the book office and ask him to do a new accounting. How about it? The book office has the bottom file, so there won't be anything wrong. ” "No need!" Li Dahong frowned, looking very tough, "Who knows if you have been colluding with each other a long time ago." Chen Guanlou laughed angrily and said, "If Li Tou says that, this matter really cannot be settled. It has to be judged in front of Fan Jiucheng. I can't bear the charge of collusion in vain. Li Tou, let's go, let's go see him together." Fan Yucheng." Li Dahong was furious on the spot and jumped up, "Tou Chen, don't bully others too much! We all eat from the same pot, can you do this?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a half-smile. Be anxious, the other party is anxious. He waved his hand, and the old man Xiao Jin came out and drove everyone out of the duty room, "What are you looking at? What's so good about it? Go and inspect the cells. It stinks so bad. Let the servants come in to clean it up and flush the toilet a few more times. Apply medicine if necessary, don't kill anyone." In the duty room, only Chen Guanlou and Li Dahong were left. Li Dahong's face was livid, and he was panting like a big black bull, "I know you are proud now, and you have been valued by the two masters Fan. You scholars just like to stick together and don't give us rough people a chance." He complained a lot, attributing everything to his lack of education, which was why he was despised. Chen Guanlou did not argue, but just said: "You make up the money, I will not report this matter, and we will pretend that it never happened. We will still be brothers in the future." "Make up? How can I make up for nearly one hundred taels of silver? Where can I make up for it? Chentou, we have been brothers for such a long time, tell me what kind of person I am and how I treat you. When you first came, everyone was dissatisfied with you. I helped you save face and suppressed other opposing voices. Let alone repaying you, now that I am in trouble, do you have the nerve to force me?" "Then why are you forcing me." Chen Guanlou suddenly got angry and pointed at Li Dahong's nose and cursed, "Before I took this job, there was never a problem with the account book. As soon as I took over, you made a deficit of nearly one hundred taels. You deliberately gave me a blow and embarrassed me, wanting everyone to laugh at me, without considering my difficulties at all. Now you turn around and ask me to help you, and accuse me of forcing you. Li Dahong, you have some shame!"
