"Chen Yucheng, can you tell me how valuable this treasure is?"
Chen Guanlou thought about it and decided to tell half of it, "It's not too expensive, but it's quite heavy."
After all, he has a father-in-law who is the richest man. The silver piled up is as heavy as a mountain. As for expensiveness, it's nothing in the eyes of officials.
Xiao Jincheng nodded in understanding, "The rumors outside are indeed not nonsense. Chen Yucheng values money as his life, but he insists on getting it in a proper way. If I don't agree to you today, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't rob the prison." Chen Guanlou said with a smile, "If you eat public food, you must abide by the rules in everything. I have few other advantages, but my biggest advantage is to abide by the rules."
"I won't rob the prison, but I'm worried that people will die in prison for no apparent reason. Last time, I just sent Fan the prisoner back to the Tianlao, and two veterans of the prison died in the imperial prison the next day."
"Ah? Someone died?"
Chen Guanlou looked confused and innocent, "I don't know! You should have told me earlier, at least I would have arranged for someone to send a condolence gift."
Xiao Jincheng sneered, shameless enough.
But he had no evidence, everything was just speculation.
"If someone dies for no apparent reason, you have to check the relationship between men and women. Since ancient times, adultery has caused death!" Chen Guanlou talked nonsense seriously, and he believed it himself.
"Thank you for reminding me, Chen Yucheng. The case has been closed long ago. You don't need to worry about it."
"It's good that the case is closed! After returning, I will also remind the people below that you can have fun and make noise, but you should pay more attention to your own safety and don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke."
Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a smile, as if expecting the other party's affirmation.
Xiao Jincheng felt a strong malice and threat. The other party was clearly threatening him. Don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke.
Who is this person you shouldn't provoke?
At this moment, it goes without saying!
It's really unreasonable.
But he didn't get angry. Instead, he asked in a calm tone:
"May I ask Chen Yucheng, the treasure is not expensive but heavy. How heavy is it?"
"How heavy do you want it to be?" Chen Guanlou asked with a smile.
Xiao Jincheng casually gestured with two fingers.
Chen Guanlou nodded, "It's not a big problem."
Xiao Jincheng raised his eyebrows slightly and simply gestured with three fingers.
Chen Guanlou frowned immediately, "Lord Xiao has a good appetite. But if you push too much, you will look ugly. How about this much, what do you think?"
He dipped his hands in tea and wrote a string of numbers on the table.
Xiao Jincheng brushed it with his sleeve, "It's really a treasure."
"How is it? Can you help me?"
"This is the first time that Chen Yucheng has come to me for help in so many years. If I refuse your face, wouldn't it be very ignorant? Report the name, and there will be a result in two days. But I have to see the weight first."
"Okay, no problem! I will negotiate after I go back and try to get things done tomorrow. I know that Lord Xiao is kind and righteous, and you are the right person to ask for this favor. Next time, if you have trouble, just come to me and I will help you."
"I have a question, please help Chen Yucheng."
Chen Guanlou didn't expect that the other party would climb up the ladder. He was just polite, but the other party was not polite at all.
He coughed lightly, "You tell me, I'll listen."
Xiao Jincheng asked solemnly: "What exactly is going on between Marquis Pingjiang and King Cheng? Is King Cheng cooperating with Marquis Pingjiang and therefore raising the flag of rebellion?"
"Sir Xiao, you are really good at making things difficult for people. You are worthy of being a Jinyiwei."
Chen Guanlou shouted loudly, pretending to be surprised, as if he had heard the ten most incredible things in the world.
"Look at me, who am I? I am just a prison guard, guarding the prison every day, or I go to the brothel to eat, drink and have fun. Do you think I know the secrets of the military and the state?
You really know how to ask! Today is a private gathering to chat and talk about personal affairs, but you are still worrying about military and national affairs at night. You are worthy of being a loyal minister in front of His Majesty, and I can never compare to you.
What King Cheng, what Marquis, don't ask me. I haven't seen them for so many years, and it's useless to ask me. If you are interested, just go to the northwest, go to the front, and you may really find the answer."
Chen Guanlou's words were full of sarcasm and complaints.
Chatting is fine, but talking nonsense, talking about Pingjiang Marquis and King Cheng, this world can't be talked about.
"I treat you as a friend, you can't harm me." Chen Guanlou said so, very disgusted. He could tolerate the fact that there were no pretty girls in the painted boat at night, but he couldn't tolerate the fact that they even talked to him about the rebellion of King Cheng. It ruined the atmosphere.
Xiao Jincheng pinched his nose, "Why should Chen Yucheng be so modest? If you are willing, I believe that the Marquis' Mansion will definitely recommend you as an official. Although you don't have much contact with the Marquis' Mansion, everyone knows how much the Marquis' Mansion values you."
Chen Guanlou sneered, very disdainful.
He clicked his tongue and pointed at the table with his fingers, reminding the other party that the next words were very important, indicating his attitude and position.
"Just because they value me doesn't mean I have to give back in kind. Lord Xiao, you take it for granted. You think I am of low status, so I have to repay the Marquis' Mansion's appreciation with my heart and soul, and serve the Marquis' Mansion with all my heart and soul.
Wrong! Very wrong! I am me first, then a member of the Chen family, and finally the person that the Marquis' Mansion values. The Marquis' Mansion is the Marquis' Mansion, and I am me. Do I care whether the Marquis' Mansion values me or not? I don't care!
Therefore, despite my humble status, I will not work hard for the Hou Mansion, let alone dedicate myself to participate in the core secrets of the Hou Mansion. If you want to get something out of me, you are asking the wrong person and asking the wrong questions. "
Xiao Jincheng didn't believe it, "Is it really wrong?"
"Big mistake." Chen Guanlou said loudly, his eyes particularly disgusting and contemptuous. Don't speculate on him based on current universal concepts.
Xiao Jincheng drank tea, "Pingjiang Marquis does not need to return to the capital for the time being, but he will return to the capital sooner or later. You can tell him this on your behalf."
"No need! I have basically no contact with the Hou Mansion." Chen Guanlou sternly refused, his attitude was very clear that he would not interfere in this matter. He is a mere shrimp, and military and national affairs are far away from him. He would not look down upon anyone who tried to pull him into a pit of fire. Even if the emperor comes, he still has this attitude.
Xiao Jincheng seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.
"Everyone has his own ambition! Since Chen Yucheng has made a decision in his heart, I will not embarrass you. I just hope that you can keep it up and never make any mistakes. You have a high level of cultivation, but there are people who are more advanced than you in the world. If you fail to step into the realm of a master, you will have to keep your tail between your legs."
"It makes sense!" Chen Guanlou completely agreed. "I'm curious, how many grandmasters are there in the world? You Jin Yiwei should have records."
"I don't know!"
"How could Jin Yiwei not know!" Chen Guanlou couldn't believe it.
