Chen Guanlou tapped the table lightly and said casually, "The lunch meal is a bit salty."

Qian Fugui frowned in deep thought at first, and then suddenly realized, "I understand. There must be internal strife in the logistics department."

"Internal strife? Uneven distribution of the spoils?" Chen Guanlou was quite curious.

Qian Fugui hesitated and said after careful consideration: "It's not because of uneven distribution of the spoils. It seems that the backers behind them have changed and internal interests need to be redistributed. This matter involves the entire logistics."

"Who did you listen to?"

"No one said anything. It was the younger one who guessed it. I was busy working in the accounting room a few days ago, and an unfamiliar accountant came from the logistics department to do the accounting, and we chatted casually."

"You are smart. A few clues allow you to deduce the truth behind it. You are not only suitable for working as an accountant, but also suitable for being a detective." Chen Guanlou was sincerely praising him. Qian Fugui was definitely wasted as a jailer. Fortunately, he has a keen eye for recognizing people and promotes them to accountants.

Qian Fugui chuckled, a little embarrassed, "My lord, I'm very complimentary. The young one is suitable for being an accountant. It's quite good to be an accountant."

"You do your job well and pay attention to what's going on in the logistics department when you have time. I don't want to think about eating salty food every day."

"I understand, little one. Try to ask as much as you can."

"There's no need to inquire, just let it happen naturally."

"Little ones, listen to the adults."

Chen Guanlou couldn't get involved in logistical matters, and it was inappropriate to even ask.

Although everyone is a Tianlao person, they belong to different interest groups, and there is an invisible boundary between them. Everyone has a tacit understanding to abide by the boundary and not interfere with each other.

It's just this food. Sometimes it's bland, sometimes it's salty, and it's uncomfortable to eat.

Chen Guanlou is a very particular person, and he pays attention to food and drink. He doesn't want to deal with it casually, so he simply spends money to eat out. He has money and will not treat himself badly.

Lu Datou shamelessly took advantage of the meal.

When Chen Guanlou saw this, he understood clearly, "Have you lost all your money?"

Lu Datou chuckled.

"There's only half a month until the salary is paid. What are you going to do? My sister-in-law didn't take care of you?"

Lu Datou has always been transparent in front of Chen Guanlou, hiding nothing. He directly lifted up his collar to reveal his captured neck, "The tigress is showing off her power. I plan to rest in the prison for the next few days and not go back. I'll wait until she calms down before going back."

"It's not an option to keep going like this. What will happen if you can't do it anymore?"

"Let my son take over the job, and the son earns money to spend on me. It's only natural."

He is indeed a rotten person with all five kinds of poisons.

Chen Guanlou ate the food and wine, "I'm too lazy to say anything to persuade you, and you're tired of hearing it. Otherwise, I'll deduct part of my salary every month and save it."

Lu Datou groaned, obviously unhappy.

Chen Guanlou glanced at him with cold eyes.

Big Lu was startled and said immediately: "Brother Chen, how about you save it for me. Just save five yuan a month..."

"If you save two taels of silver, you will have twenty-four taels a year. Use half of it to celebrate the New Year, which will be enough for your family to have a prosperous New Year. Continue to save the remaining money to save betrothal gifts, dowries, and houses for the children. When the children are older Oh, you are an old gambler, your daughter-in-law will definitely dislike you in the future. "

"If you dare to dislike me, you will not be allowed to enter the Lu family." Lu Datou was very arrogant.

Chen Guanlou sneered, "You are a bad gambler, why can't I dislike you? Is it okay if your son and daughter-in-law live with you and are restless all day long? Separate, live separately, out of sight, out of mind, my sister-in-law is angry There is always a place to go.”

"Brother Chen, why do you always think about the little kid, but why don't you think about me?"

Chen Guanlou spoke heart-breaking words slowly, "You are a rotten person, why should I think about you? Although we are brothers, it does not mean that I will support you unlimitedly. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. . Your life is over anyway, try not to harm your wife and children."

Lu Datou was still a little unconvinced. He felt very good about himself, very confident, and felt that he was quite capable.

Chen Guanlou also admitted that he was a capable person despite Lu Datou's shortcomings. Unfortunately, there are too many flaws to ignore. Especially because he likes to gamble, it is really hopeless. If you have money, gamble. If you don’t have money, just watch others gamble. Every day life revolves around the word gambling. I fished when I was at work, and all I could think about was gambling, recalling the gambling game from the previous night, wondering what I didn't do well, and what bad luck I had.

Chen Guanlou picked up a fried peanut and threw it into his mouth, "You have made a lot of money in these years. Just from the case of the second boss, you made hundreds of taels of silver. You didn't give me a penny." Sister-in-law, I lost everything at the gambling table."

Lu Datou couldn't refute this.

Because every sentence is true.

After being embarrassed for two seconds, Lu Datou regained his energy and said, "Brother Chen, are there any big orders recently? Do you need manpower? I can just earn some hard-earned money."

"The end of the year will be peaceful and there will be no orders." Chen Guanlou didn't give him any hope.

Lu Datou did not give up, "That's not right. In previous years, the end of the year is the peak season, and criminals are sent to jail every day. Brother Chen, although I like gambling, I am also practical in my work. As long as it is what you ask me, I can always do it." All right."

Chen Guanlou glanced at him and said, "The court has been quite noisy recently. There is a war between the north and the south, and the court is short of money. I heard that another natural disaster has occurred somewhere and disaster relief is needed."

"The old emperor must have a big head." Lu Datou chuckled, looking like he was watching a joke and gloating. As long as the officials in the court are unlucky, or the old emperor is unlucky, the people in Tianlao are happy. I just like watching these high-ranking people fall into the mire day and night.

Chen Guanlou said casually, "The A-shaped prison is about to get busy. There are some small orders. Are you willing to run away?"

"You are willing. Brother Chen, just ask."

Chen Guanlou told him, "There is a prisoner who has a lot of problems with his body and needs to take medicine every day. The water used to cook the medicine must be mountain spring water. Someone has to be sent outside the city to pick it up early every morning. This job is yours Are you willing to do it? I will give you five silver coins a day, and you will bring back a pot of mountain spring water every day. If you are willing, I will give you this job. ”

"You only have five silver coins when you go out to the city early in the morning to fetch mountain spring water?" Lu Datou thought the money was too little.

Chen Guanlou immediately snorted and said with great disgust, "Do you know that with this job and this price, if I let it go, the queue of people to apply for the job would be from the south of the city to the north of the city, and there would be a lot of people vying for the job. You are still too small. . People who carry big bags outside work very hard all day long, and only make twenty or thirty big bucks a day. You are so awesome, you are penniless, and you still despise five bucks. It’s not enough for a day’s easy work. I’ll give this job to my sister-in-law, who will definitely be happy to do it.”

"No, no need. I'll do the work, I'll do it!" Lu Datou hurriedly changed his words. If this job fell into the hands of the mother-in-law, he would never get a penny. If you do it by yourself, you will get five coins a day. The key is to make a daily settlement.
