The jailers didn't dare to vent their anger on Chen Guanlou in person.

So they vented their anger on Chen Quan and the other four, scolding them for being cowardly and why they had to obey Chen Guanlou without any backbone.

Liu She whispered in defense, "There were ten people in our group at the beginning, but only four of us were left in the end, isn't it because we are cowardly?" He was cowardly and didn't dare to participate in the gambling game with huge stakes, and luckily escaped.

Those who were brave all followed Zhao Tou out of the prison and lost their iron rice bowls.

"You are timid and you are justified, are you a man?" The big jailer poked Liu She's face with his finger.

Liu She retreated tremblingly, looking very afraid. He was small to begin with, and under the big guy's cover, he was like a little chicken, and could be crushed to death with a slight pinch.

Xiao Jin came forward to stop the big jailer and explained, "The higher-ups are urging us to pay. If we don't cooperate with Chentou and delay the work, no one can bear the responsibility."

"You don't work for him, so of course you can talk without any pain. I don't want to lose this job." Qian Fugui muttered. He can eat so much fat, all thanks to Tianlao. He can't lose his job in Tianlao no matter what.

"He Chen Guanlou is nothing. A poor man, he has only been working in Tianlao for more than half a year. Why are you afraid of him?" The big jailer was furious.

"Chentou is very majestic." Chen Quan said in a low voice.

"What kind of authority? What kind of authority is that? A teenager, his hair hasn't even grown out yet, how can he have any authority? Don't tell me you don't know his origins. He is five generations away from Pingjiang Marquis's Mansion. If he is really from the Marquis' Mansion, how could he end up being a jailer? In the eyes of outsiders, we jailers are a lowly profession, just a little better than the girls in the brothel and the beggars on the street."

The big jailer was almost pissed off by these four useless colleagues.

I have never seen such cowardly people.

Xiao Jin chuckled twice, "What you said makes sense. But what about the money? What should we do with it? Wan the jailer doesn't care about these things, and Fan the prison warden doesn't ask about these things. The chief officer above, and the doctor above the chief officer, everyone has to share the commission. Our affairs are all small matters, and delaying the adults from sharing the commission is a big deal."

"Yes, yes!"

"Originally, this order has been delayed for a long time, and it can't be delayed any longer."

"If we don't pay the money, we will all be in trouble."

"When Chen Tou came, at least the most difficult problem at the moment was solved."

The four people seemed to have a hundred mouths, one by one, and directly fought back.

The big jailer was so angry that his face turned blue, and he hated iron for not being able to make steel, "Okay! You all have difficulties, and I have become the bad guy. Let's wait and see."

The big guy left angrily.

Liu She was worried, "Do you think he will go directly to trouble Chen Tou?"

"He doesn't have the guts. Chen Tou is also a nobody."

"But Chen Tou is new."

"This is the prison, nothing else works, only money works. As long as Chen Tou has money, no one will bother to mess with him."

Chen Guanlou didn't know all this.

He was busy looking through the roster to understand the situation of the prisoners in the A-shaped prison, trying to be targeted and not accidentally offending people who shouldn't be offended.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation of the A-shaped prison is much more complicated than that of the C-shaped prison.

The C-shaped prison is simple and direct, without so many twists and turns, and it's easy to be on duty. The patrol only needs to determine the number of people, life and death, and no collusion between insiders and outsiders. The rest of the time is just slacking off.

The A-shaped prison is much more complicated. Bringing people in to see the prisoners openly, just for this point, will take a lot of risks. It's best not to get into trouble, and if something goes wrong, it's best not to pursue it. Once it's pursued, people will definitely die.

The balance here depends entirely on personal wisdom.

Therefore, Chen Guanlou urgently needs to understand the situation of all the prisoners in the prison, especially the situation of the prisoners in his jurisdiction. At the same time, he must thoroughly understand how many shameful unspoken rules there are in the Jiazi-shaped prison, so as not to violate taboos and ruin other people's wealth.

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents. He doesn't want to attract a group of enemies for no reason, poison his water, put a dangerous person in his jurisdiction, and create a few chaos. If he doesn't die, he will lose a layer of skin.

Collect money and do things.

The jailers are very efficient. The next day, they brought the housekeeper of the Jin Mansion into the Tianlao. Count the money in front of him and lead the person to the prison door of the prisoner Jin Da Ren. The jailers took the initiative to step back ten steps, leaving room for the master and servant to talk.

After collecting the money, hand it in as soon as possible to complete the list.

Then share the profits.

On the second day of Chen Guanlou's work in Jiazi-shaped prison, sixty taels went into his pocket.

The other four jailers also made a lot of money. The profit that was originally shared by ten people was now shared by only four people. It was so cool.

The master and servant of the Jin family talked for about a cup of tea, and the housekeeper was asked to leave the prison.

Chen Guanlou called Chen Quan and asked, "Look carefully, did the master and servant pass anything to each other?"

"Don't worry, Chen, I've been watching, and the two people didn't have any physical contact."

Chen Guanlou felt relieved and asked again, "Did you hear what they said clearly?"

Chen Quan shook his head, "They spoke too softly, I didn't hear it."

Chen Guanlou looked solemn.

Chen Quan suddenly became a little nervous, "What are you worried about, Chen?"

"I inquired about it. The case of surnamed Jin is a conspiracy. He is just the thread of this case. It is not clear who is involved at the other end of the thread and how far he came from. Next, pay more attention to surnamed Jin when you patrol. I don't want anything abnormal to happen in my jurisdiction, especially things like committing suicide out of fear of crime."

"Chen is worrying too much. The surnamed Jin cherishes his life very much. Relying on his sister-in-law being the favorite concubine of the King of Donghai, he has always been confident that he can get out smoothly."

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou sneered immediately, "It's not that easy to get out. Your Majesty has to build palaces and gardens, and also refine elixirs. He is short of money now." Otherwise, Jiang Tu is a flatterer, why can't the whole court of civil and military officials bring him down.

Jiang Tu's greatest ability is to guess the emperor's intentions, and he can often tickle the old emperor's itch. When other officials speak, the old emperor can be so angry that he kills people. When Jiang Tu speaks, the old emperor can laugh happily and eat a few more bites of food.

Jiang Tu's second greatest skill is to amass wealth. He is an expert at making money for the old emperor.

You'll see, the old emperor can't do without Jiang Tu. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the old emperor is also short of money to spend. It is estimated that Jiang Tu will be reinstated soon.

Soon, the movement in the court confirmed Chen Guanlou's judgment.

Jiang Tu was reinstated and continued to serve as the Minister of Copper. A few days later, the old emperor appointed Jiang Tu as the Minister of Works, responsible for building palaces and gardens for the old emperor to be used for alchemy.

One makes money, the other spends money, and the two positions fall on one person.

I dare to ask who in the court can compare with this favor.
