Chapter 536: Clearing the Prison to Welcome the God of Wealth is Our Goal

"Haven't heard that Zhang Wenfu was picked up."

Qian Fugui was still quite humorous, following Chen Guanlou's words and saying this.

"Since he wasn't picked up, why didn't she see you? Is she not planning to fish him out?"

Qian Fugui touched his head. "After the small one arrived at the Zhang mansion, I was invited to the flower hall to wait. At first, the manager of the Zhang mansion said Madam Zhang was busy and would come over after being busy. The small one waited for about two cups of tea, and suddenly she changed her words, saying Madam Zhang was tired and couldn't see me today. She only gave the books and dismissed the small one."

"And didn't send anyone to explain the situation to you? Not seeing is not seeing, men and women are different, can understand. However, whether the Zhang family wants to fish out Zhang Wenfu or not, they must give a reply." Chen Guanlou was very curious; the Zhang family's attitude had been strange since last year.

At first, they were so concerned about Zhang Wenfu, entrusting relationships to the eldest branch of the Marquis's Mansion, letting the eldest branch entrust Chen Guanlou to take good care of Zhang Wenfu.

The manager of the Zhang mansion also ran to the Heavenly Prison every three days, afraid that Zhang Wenfu would suffer in prison.

Later... probably starting from the second half of last year, the Zhang family had an attitude of ignoring Zhang Wenfu, becoming more and more indifferent. There were several opportunities to fish him out, but they didn't, saying there was no money.

Clearly heard that the Zhang family's financial crisis had been resolved.

"The small one is also very strange. Just feel that the Zhang family seems to have abandoned Zhang Wenfu."

"What is the reason?"

"After the small one left the Zhang mansion, I specifically inquired around, and heard that it seems Zhang Wenfu's younger brother passed."

"Passed what?"

"Did Master forget? This year is the Enke, a great opportunity. Zhang Wenfu's younger brother passed the Jinshi examination, heard that he has been granted an official position, and the future is promising."

Chen Guanlou ah-ed; this was the first time he heard about this.

"Wait, what is Zhang Wenfu's fame?"

He was about to flip through the files, but Qian Fugui opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Wenfu is a Juren fame. It is said that he had a talent name when he was young, but he failed the Jinshi examination several times and had to give up. Spending money to run connections, found an errand in the government office. In the end, he is not a proper Jinshi and cannot be a court official."

Civil officials who can attend the court meeting, there is not a single Juren, all are Jinshi. Non-Jinshi wanting to be a court official, first ask if your father is a prime minister, is a noble.

Juren can be an official, being a parent official in the local area is absolutely qualified. Fan Jin passed the Juren examination and could be the director of the provincial education department.

But wanting to be a court official, sorry, first take a Jinshi examination.

The unspoken rules of civil officials in the Great Qian Dynasty, or should be said to be the rules, are almost written in official documents and announced to the world. Except for the Taizu years, when scholars were scarce and exceptions were made, there has been no situation of Juren attending court since then.

The rules formed in three hundred years of the country can never be broken by any one person. Maybe even the Emperor could do it, but the result must be the death of people and the end of politics.

Chen Guanlou was slightly surprised. "Is the Zhang family so short of money? Just because they produced a Jinshi son, they abandoned Zhang Wenfu. Does fishing out Zhang Wenfu cost a lot of money?"

"The small one doesn't know."

"Alright, I have understood this matter."

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while, and still decided to tell Zhang Wenfu the truth directly. One surnamed Zhang, hurry up and give up illusions, face the bleak life.

Zhang Wenfu was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, muttering to himself:

"The ninth brother passed the Jinshi examination?"

"How do you know it was your ninth brother who passed?"

"My brothers, except for the ninth, others are not even as good as me."

Oh!

"What do you plan to do now?" Chen Guanlou asked kindly. It seems that in the future, don't think about squeezing money from Zhang Wenfu, just hurry up and roll, clear the prison cell to welcome new guests. It would be best to come a few rich landlords.

"I don't know, I I I..." Zhang Wenfu was incoherent; his short life obviously hadn't thought that there would be a day when he would lose favor and be abandoned by his parents together. For a time, his brain was as messy as paste, completely losing his train of thought. Only left with confusion, at a loss.

"Is your family very poor? Your family has been officials for generations; logically speaking, there must be money."

"My family is not short of money, but my family has many people, and there are more places to spend money." Zhang Wenfu seemed to be drained of his energy, and in one day, his mood rose and fell. Not going crazy on the spot, obviously he was trained in the Heavenly Prison.

The Heavenly Prison raises people!

The Heavenly Prison tempers people's muscles and bones, and tempers people's character. Thinking back then, when Zhang Wenfu was first locked in, he was noisy and not reserved at all.

Compared to now, encountering a fatal blow, he could be calm and self-possessed.

The progress is so great, it is astonishing.

The Heavenly Prison is worthy of being a place of enlightenment and cultivation.

Want to be promoted?

Want to sublimate?

Want to experience the perfect state of spirit and flesh?

The Heavenly Prison is waiting for you!

"You should understand, your case, if your family doesn't come forward to help you, it is very likely that your case file will be thrown into the file library, and no one will think of it for ten or eight years. Once forgotten, hehe, you prepare to sit in prison for ten or eight years. By then, if you are lucky enough to go out, how old will you be? Do you think you still have a chance to rise again and continue to be an official?"

"As far as I know, you are only a Juren, not a Jinshi. By then, who can you rely on? Are you married? Do you have children? Having children is fine, if there are no children, tsk tsk... I dare not imagine what kind of situation you will face in ten or eight years."

Chen Guanlou used a light tone to say the most cruel words.

Zhang Wenfu's face was pale, as if he was about to go into shock at any time. "I I I..."

"Do you have money?" Chen Guanlou asked him.

Zhang Wenfu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If he had money, why count on his parents, why be so miserable.

"Do you have a way to raise money?"

"I don't know." Zhang Wenfu now had no confidence at all that he could raise money. "Dare to ask Master Chen, why do you ask these?"

"Oh, I am kind-hearted, can't bear to see you mold in the Heavenly Prison. How about this, you think of a way to raise some money, I will run connections for you and fish you out. As far as I know, your case is not serious. Plus the new Emperor ascended the throne, there should be an amnesty. Can try to strive for an amnesty qualification."

Chen Guanlou gave the other party an idea.

"Why does Master Chen want to help me?" Zhang Wenfu couldn't believe there was such a good person in the world; his parents didn't care about him, but an outsider was worried for him.

Why?

"I said I want to make money, do you believe it?" He certainly wouldn't say that the real purpose was to clear the prison cell to welcome the God of Wealth, and by the way, earn a sum.

"Then how much money is needed to fish me out?" Zhang Wenfu asked nervously.

Chen Guanlou gestured with his fingers.

Zhang Wenfu screamed, "Five thousand taels?"

"Is it very expensive? This includes the money to fish you out, and this official's remuneration. You ask the few prison cells next door, is it very expensive? Change them, use five thousand taels to go out, you ask them if they are willing. They are certainly willing. It's just that their cases are more complicated than yours, the case hasn't cooled down yet, temporarily don't need to take my path. Wait a year or two and still can't go out, by then they will all hold silver and beg me to help, and still have to see if my mood is good or not." ===== CHAPTER 537 =====
