Chapter 1208: As a Skilled Worker

Gu Yiyang had been frowning and pondering.

Chen Guanlou didn't disturb him and silently continued to inspect the cells.

After he finished inspecting the prison, Gu Yiyang stopped him, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, can you help me find some connections."

"You're looking for me?" Chen Guanlou had an expression of disbelief, as if he had heard something strange, "Are you kidding me? You are a young master of the Gu family, and your Gu family is a noble family passed down for hundreds of years."

Gu Yiyang smiled bitterly, "Precisely because it has been passed down for hundreds of years, the family is big, the business is big, the population is large, and there are many contradictions. You guessed it; I just rely on my status as a legitimate son to mix for a bite to eat, but I'm not actually valued. I've thought about what you said before, and having not fished me out for so long, I'm afraid someone is making trouble from it."

"What about your parents, they don't care about you either?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

"Except for my eldest brother's affairs, usually my father never asks about our affairs, and the family affairs are handled by my mother."

"You are your mother's biological son."

"Mother has children she favors more." Gu Yiyang seemed to find it difficult to speak, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.

Just as Chen Guanlou said before, stuck in the middle, neither up nor down, neither parent cared. The eldest son inherited the family business and received his father's care and attention, and all the best resources of the family were invested in the eldest brother. The youngest was the youngest son, the old son, and received all his mother's favor.

He and the other two brothers were like children born of a stepmother, taken care of by maids and nannies from childhood to adulthood. Fortunately, their daily life and diet were not mistreated, and they went to school at the age of reading. If they couldn't read, they would just find an office to mix for days. There was affection between brothers and sisters, but it was not deep.

On the contrary, the noble concubine sister in the palace, he still had some closeness. The noble concubine sister wouldn't forget him if she had good things. Unlike the family, but if the good things were not enough to divide, they were all the eldest brother's. Even if there were enough resources, the share was very small.

He had been delayed in getting out of prison; if someone was really making trouble, he already had several suspects in his heart. He would just wait until he got out of prison to take revenge on them one by one.

He didn't dare to count on the family now, and he didn't dare to count on the fox friends and dog friends outside. His friends and brothers all knew each other. He was worried that someone would have a loose mouth and be known by the family, falling short of success.

Thinking that the Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen had wild paths, collected money to do things, and was fair and honest, he had the idea.

Chen Guanlou weighed it while looking at the other party, his eyes extremely suspicious, "Do you have money?"

A young master who was not favored and had not divided the family, the funds he could mobilize must be limited.

"I don't know how much money is needed?"

Chen Guanlou pinched his chin and began to calculate, "You want to get out of prison?"

"Exactly! Please help me, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."

"You want to get out of prison; this matter is difficult to say, and easy to say. You are the noble concubine's brother; logically speaking, the noble concubine blowing wind can handle it. It hasn't been handled until now, I'm afraid the noble concubine can't exert force. Walking the official path, through the Ministry of Justice, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. After all, you have an unusual status, wearing the title of the Emperor's brother-in-law."

Gu Yiyang laughed at himself upon hearing this, "What kind of brother-in-law am I. Only the Empress's brother is qualified to be called a brother-in-law. I'm just a fake."

"With your Gu family's family background, you count as half a brother-in-law at least. Let's not discuss this problem. Back to your business, walking the official path, the Ministry of Justice hasn't received instructions from the palace, so they definitely wouldn't dare to issue a release document. So, in the final analysis, you still have to walk the palace path. What capable people do you know in the palace?"

"I only know the people serving by the noble concubine's side. When I enter the palace, I don't dare to walk around and go to other places, only entering and exiting the noble concubine's palace."

Chen Guanlou expressed understanding. The rules in the palace were big, and being a man, he definitely didn't dare to walk around in the palace.

He looked at the other party, a useless thing, growing so big for nothing.

"I can find someone to ask, but whether it succeeds is another matter. For the sake of our friendship, ten thousand taels, no second price."

Gu Yiyang showed a difficult expression when he heard the price.

"Brother Chen, can you give me a discount. I can't take out so much money for a while."

Chen Guanlou bared his teeth, extremely disgusted. He knew that the other party was probably already a pauper now. Don't look at the noble family, the noble family also had the difficulties of the noble family. Once the family didn't care, especially the parents who mastered the resources of the noble family didn't ask, get it, return to the original shape in one morning.

"How much money do you have?"

Gu Yiyang was a little coy, afraid of losing face.

Chen Guanlou frowned, extremely disgusted. He urged the other party to hurry up with his eyes, don't delay time.

"I won't hide it from Brother Chen, I can barely scrape together five thousand taels of silver for now."

Not little!

Worthy of being a young master of a noble family, although poor, he was still richer than ordinary people.

Chen Guanlou gritted his teeth, while disgusted, while saying, "You take five thousand taels first, and I'll ask for you. It's best if things can be done. If it can't be done, you go borrow. With your status, borrowing a few thousand taels is not a problem. After getting out of prison, find your parents for money to repay the debt. If they don't give it, you sell the things in the house. With your family's background, any item in the room taken out is worth a lot. Sell a few, and I guess you can repay the debt."

Gu Yiyang, upon hearing this, selling the ornaments in the room, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He hurriedly said, "Or, you go directly to my house, take away those ornaments and utensils in my room. Basically, they are all good things, all taken from the family warehouse, and there will be no fakes. There are two paintings hanging on the wall of my room, which are works of famous masters of the previous dynasty, at least worth one or two thousand taels. And the vase in the corner of the wall, at least a few hundred taels. The things on the shelf..."

"Stop!" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party very dissatisfied, "What do you mean, let me be a gentleman on the beam at your house? Am I that kind of person?"

Not a corrupt official, not the master of the house.

But if Gu Yiyang was the head of the Gu family today, he would have agreed. He had done this kind of thing many times before, he was a skilled worker.

"No no no!" Gu Yiyang hurriedly denied, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood me. I've seen that little servant of mine, I'll write a letter by hand, let him bring the goods out, how about it?"

"Not how! Be careful your parents get angry and beat the servant to death."

Chen Guanlou didn't want to cause any human life.

"With my handwritten letter..."

"You are not the eldest son who inherits the family business, let alone the youngest son who is favored. Your handwritten letter has a fart use, it will only make your parents hate you more. Wait until you get out of prison, you operate it yourself. If something happens, you bear it. Even if your parents don't like you, they can't beat you to death, at most beat you, and punish you for kneeling in the ancestral hall."

People in this day and age, teaching children, moving is kneeling in the ancestral hall. It's as if the ancestral hall possesses the elixir of turning over a new leaf. They don't think about it, the ancestors see these unpromising descendants, they must be so angry, I'm afraid the coffin board will be overturned.

Making things difficult for the ancestors, they can't be at peace even after death! ===== CHAPTER 1209 =====
