Chapter 1004: Five thousand taels to see each other

~7 min read 1,377 words

Lord Bai in the prison wants to see Chen Guanlou, saying he wants to talk about a deal.

Chen Guanlou went down to the Jia-grade prison and came to the prison door. "Lord Bai, how have you been living these few days?"

"I asked someone to inquire." Lord Bai couldn't care about greetings, pulling the prison door and saying urgently: "My case, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle."

"I told you last time, your case, not dying is lucky. Your backing is gone..."

"I definitely can't die!" Lord Bai said firmly, interrupting directly.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes silently, and for the other party's confidence, he was too lazy to complain.

"Do you have any way? I want to find Sun Daoning of the Ministry of Justice and talk to him." Lord Bai put forward his request.

Chen Guanlou had an indescribable expression on his face.

There are many criminal officials who are self-righteous, and those who are self-righteous to the extent of Lord Bai can only say that officialdom is a mirror, with thousands of faces and all kinds of shapes.

"I don't have a way!" Chen Guanlou refused bluntly, blocking the way back.

"You lied to me! Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, how can you lie to me. I have already inquired clearly that you have an extraordinary relationship with Sun Daoning, and the path that others can't walk, you definitely have no problem. Help me with a favor, help me contact Minister Sun; I really have important things to talk to him about."

Chen Guanlou still shook his head. "I can help you bring a message through relationships, but I can't help with anything else."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, what do you need to do to help me? How much money, you name a price."

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou laughed immediately. "If you want to talk about money, things are simple. Five thousand taels, not guaranteed to be done."

"Are you robbing money?" Lord Bai jumped up in anger, very angry.

Only he can open his mouth wide, when is it the turn of a prison warden to open his mouth wide at him.

Reversing the sky and earth!

Unreasonable!

Don't know what's good or bad!

Don't understand the superiority and inferiority!

Chen Guanlou suppressed his inner impatience and said patiently: "Then how much money do you think can let you see Minister Sun? Do you think Minister Sun is a Chinese cabbage on the street, which can be bought with a few pieces of silver? Lord Bai, do you really not realize your situation yet? Your backing is gone, you can't protect yourself, and you have no chips in your hand!"

"Whether I have chips in my hand or not, it's not up to you to say. Five hundred taels, help me make an appointment to see Minister Sun, how about it?"

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a half-smile. "Do you think I am very cheap? Five hundred taels can make me run errands for you, and everyone in the Heavenly Prison seems to have never seen silver. You throw a piece of silver out, and I have to flatter you like a pug. You think very beautifully, you can continue to daydream, I won't accompany you!"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't go, everything is negotiable. If you think the money is small, you can bargain. How can you just leave. Business is not negotiated like this."

Chen Guanlou stopped and looked back at the other party. "I very much agree with what you said, everything is negotiable. So, I will give you one last chance, don't waste it."

Lord Bai gritted his teeth; the only person he can count on now is Chen Guanlou.

He was not unprepared; on the contrary, he inquired about many rumors about Chen Guanlou, knowing that the other party was obsessed with money. The reason why he opened his mouth for five hundred taels was just to test it.

Who would have thought that the other party was like a dog, and would turn his face if he didn't agree.

Instantly, he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, and he had to pull down his face to beg.

He coughed slightly. "Three thousand taels, how about it? This price is not low anywhere."

Chen Guanlou smiled and said lightly: "Three thousand taels, that was the price five years ago. Now, if you want to entrust me to bring a message to Minister Sun, and want to see him, five thousand taels is not negotiable. You can refuse, it doesn't matter. Missing your order, I have no loss, and I don't lack your little money."

Lord Bai was almost laughed at by anger.

The Heavenly Prison is talking about prices!

Can this be called a price, this is clearly extortion. In the world, there is no place where the price is so high to see a person, and it is not the Emperor, which requires paying five thousand taels.

Even if it is to see the Emperor, I am afraid it will not cost five thousand taels to do it.

He waved his hand, not wanting to continue arguing on this issue.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, five thousand taels! Within three days, I want to see Minister Sun, can it be done?"

"Three days? Time is a bit tight." Chen Guanlou pondered for a while. "Five days. Five days, I guarantee you will see Minister Sun and give you enough time to talk, how about it?"

"Fine! Five days it is. However, these few days, you must keep me safe."

"Is someone going to kill you?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised. "Your political enemies are so frantic?"

"You don't need to know the details of this matter, just keep me safe. When I see Minister Sun, I will explain it to him clearly."

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly; he didn't have such strong curiosity either.

"Rest assured, in just five days, I will keep you safe."

After receiving the money, he had to do things.

Before doing things, he took out the file of the one surnamed Bai and read it again, and didn't see anything special. Could it be that the one surnamed Bai is playing tricks, deliberately creating an atmosphere of having very important secrets and being killed to silence him?

This bunch of officials, they have so many hearts! ===== CHAPTER 1005 =====

"That is where you are wrong! I am not asking for money; what is between you and me is a business deal, a transaction, based on mutual consent. You are perfectly free to refuse, with absolutely no coercion. And you don't need to worry about being given a hard time after refusing. In this Heavenly Prison, as long as you pay enough, everything is handled according to the rules, and your treatment remains the same."

Master Bai waved his hand, not wanting to continue arguing about this issue.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, five thousand taels it is! Within three days, I want to see Minister Sun. Can you manage that?"

"Three days? That is a bit tight." Chen Guanlou pondered for a moment, "Let's make it five days. In five days, I guarantee you will see Minister Sun, and I will leave you plenty of time to talk, how about that?"

"Fine! Five days it is. But for these few days, you must ensure my safety."

"Could it be that someone wants to kill you?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised, "Are your political enemies that insane?"

"You don't need to know the details of this matter, just ensure my safety. Once I see Minister Sun, I will explain it to him clearly myself."

Chen Guanlou nodded in understanding; he didn't have that much curiosity anyway.

"Rest assured, for these short five days, your safety is guaranteed."

Once the money is taken, the job must be done.

Before doing the job, he took out the file of the man surnamed Bai and read it again, but saw nothing special. Could it be that the man surnamed Bai was bluffing, deliberately creating an atmosphere of having a very important secret that would lead to him being silenced?

These officials are truly full of schemes!
