There is no such thing as a wall without cracks.
Chen Guanlou rescued a pretty boy from the imperial prison, and the news spread throughout the officialdom in no time.
For a while, many people wanted to find him to rescue him. They didn't ask for his release, but to transfer him from the imperial prison to the prison.
Money is easy to talk about.
As long as he can be a special prisoner, he will sell everything he has to get the money.
Chen Guanlou:...
Do you know that he wasted his energy to rescue Gu Shanhe? He smiled and chatted about family matters. Do you know how difficult it is to deal with Xiao Jincheng? The other party never smiles.
Facing a coffin face, he had to smile and say auspicious words the whole time. Do you know how difficult it is? He sold his soul to rescue such a person.
Besides, Xiao is a principled man, how can he bend for a few pieces of silver.
Unless...
He has to pay more!
Maybe there is a chance.
He is not sure.
Xiao is unpredictable, and it is really hard to control.
People who use connections all have some background. They don't go to Tianlao, but go directly to the Marquis' Mansion and ask the Marquis' Mansion to act as a middleman. Chen Guanlou always has to give some face to the Marquis' Mansion. Even if they refuse, everyone will save face and don't have to tear each other apart in person.
So, before he got off work, he received an invitation from the Marquis' Mansion.
Such things are always handled by the butler.
A table of banquets was prepared, and the old and the young ate and talked.
Chen Guanlou has always been thinking about the cooking skills of the chefs in the Marquis' Mansion. Tonight's banquet will be better than the big pot dishes at the banquet. Eating so well every day is really jealous.
Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, the butler said, "If you like, you can come every day."
"It's okay to come every day. I'm a wild boar and can't eat fine bran. I hate living in the three-story mansion given to me by the Marquis' Mansion. I'd rather die than go to the Marquis' Mansion every day. If you really want to, give me a cook."
"It's not impossible to give you a cook. The chef who prepared this table of banquets has several apprentices, but unfortunately they haven't graduated yet and their skills are still lacking. Why don't you let the Marquis' Mansion train you for another two years, and send them to you after you graduate."
"Okay! That's settled."
The Marquis' Mansion must be fleeced, and Chen Guanlou was not polite at all. Being polite to the Marquis' Mansion is cruel to himself.
With his current wealth, it is more than enough to support a cook.
But he forgot that this kind of chef is only responsible for cooking, not for making fire, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and serving vegetables. They have high requirements for kitchen helpers. It means that while supporting a cook, you also have to support a group of kitchen helpers.
Someone just sent silver.
The housekeeper took the opportunity to talk about Gu Shanhe, "The man surnamed Gu you rescued from the imperial prison has no outstanding features except that he has a father-in-law who is the richest man in the area."
"Having a father-in-law who is the richest man in the area is already an outstanding feature. I made an offer, and he didn't bargain. He gave me money when I asked for it, and he didn't say a word of superfluous words from beginning to end. There are not many such good customers these days. There are many rich people in the capital, but there are also many people who bargain, and there are even more people who are nagging and pointing fingers."
Chen Guanlou said with a smile.
It seems to be a joke, but it is actually telling a fact.
The dignitaries in the capital like to haggle and point fingers. They always think that a small jailer is not worthy of being on an equal footing with them. He obviously needs help from others, but he still speaks in a pretentious manner. Humph! Don't indulge him!
The richest man is much more sensible. Whatever the Tianlao says is what it is, and it is executed without any discounts, without a single word of nonsense. The price is what it is, no bargaining. If the money is insufficient, you have to borrow it.
This kind of customer is a high-quality customer.
The butler does not need to make money himself, usually others pay him to please him. So he can't understand the bitterness of money being hard to make and shit being hard to eat these days.
It's hard to empathize with people who are not on the same track.
"Just because of this, you rescue people? It's worthless."
"How can it be worthless? I don't agree with you. Isn't money valuable? People give enough money and give it quickly. For me, this kind of customer is the most valuable."
The butler had a headache.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to agree or refute.
He took a sip of wine and thought for a while, "Since you can rescue people from the imperial prison to the Tianlao, I think you have already established a relationship with the Jinyiwei. I have a list here, you think about it and see if you can rescue them and put them in the Tianlao."
After that, a list was placed in front of Chen Guanlou.
Chen Guanlou: ...
"Housekeeper, are you making things difficult for me or are you kidding me? Even the Marquis' Mansion couldn't get someone out, how can I do it? You think too highly of me."
Chen Guanlou complained repeatedly, don't think too highly of him! He is just a prison warden, he has no ability at all.
Every day he just slacks off, drinks and sleeps with beautiful girls.
He doesn't worry about other things.
When he was the head prisoner, he would still worry about it and look through and write official documents. Now, he doesn't even read official documents. All prisoners sent from the Six Gates are contacted by several prison guards.
He is getting lazier!
He is such a lazy man, he has no ability at all. He really doesn't know how to get people out!
Don't count on him for this.
The chief steward didn't believe him. "Don't make the Marquis' Mansion a myth! The Jinyiwei is not part of the three departments. The emperor has granted special permission to execute first and report later. No official can interfere with the Jinyiwei. Once you interfere, you will violate the taboo, which is a taboo in the officialdom. Moreover, the current Jinyiwei leader, the one with the surname Xiao, is stubborn and will not give face to anyone except Your Majesty.
To be honest, it's really surprising that you can be friends and deal with him. It makes sense if you think about it carefully. You don't have to worry about certain rules in the officialdom because of your identity, so you can naturally interact with the other party. "
"First, Xiao Jincheng and I are not friends. We are just using each other." Chen Guanlou emphasized solemnly, "Second, when I eat in the public family, I must abide by the public rules. Butler, you can't seduce me. Make a mistake!"
The butler laughed angrily.
And tempted him to make mistakes!
I fart in front of him every day.
Is the money in the pocket fake? Are all the beauties in the mansion fake?
The money can't just fly into his pocket.
"Don't interrupt! Take a look at this list carefully. Can you get it out? The price is easy to tell."
Chen Guanlou didn't even look at it and said directly: "I can't get it!"
"How many can you catch?"
"Can't catch any!"
"Try to fish out these three people, and ignore the others."
The butler took up a pen and circled three names.
The two talked like ducks in a row, each talking about his own issues, and seemed to have reached an intention to cooperate.
Chen Guanlou finally gave him face this time. He glanced at the three circled names and blinked without expressing his opinion.
The butler continued: "The price is negotiable, just make a price."
"Look, look, what am I talking about? The powerful people in the capital are not doing things cheaply at all, they just want to bargain! I dare to make a price, will they dare to accept it?"
"Please give me a price first and let's hear it." The butler was not afraid. It is expected that the price should be within the affordable range.
Chen Guanlou chuckled and gestured with his fingers, "One is fifty thousand taels, and three are prepared for one hundred and fifty thousand. I'll help with the errands for this. How about it?"
