Chapter 537: Thieves in the Family are Hard to Guard Against

"Five thousand taels is too much, I have no money." Zhang Wenfu said pitifully, wanting to win sympathy.

Chen Guanlou would not give a shred of sympathy; his heart was as firm as iron, and he said unceremoniously: "If you have no money, think of a way. Can a penny stump a hero? You must remember, these five thousand taels are for your freedom, your future. You just say, is your freedom and future worth five thousand taels?

If you think it's not worth it, today's conversation ends here, you just pretend I haven't been here. If it's worth it, with the foundation of your Zhang family, even if you steal or rob, cheat or trick, or borrow from someone, you can certainly think of a way."

"I can't think of a way, I don't know how to cheat or trick." Zhang Wenfu was now like a mentally retarded youth, wanting Chen Guanlou to take full responsibility for him.

Chen Guanlou would not get used to him, and began to brainwash and fool him seriously: "People's potential is infinite; you haven't done it, how do you know you can't do it. Don't easily deny yourself, don't easily label yourself. You are so smart, you can pass the Juren examination, your brain must be fine. This official believes in you. If you need the Heavenly Prison to open a net and give you convenience, it is also possible. It's just that you need to pay some money."

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to go out to see people and borrow money, this official can grant you half a day off. The premise is, you must have money."

"How much money?"

"Not much, a mere five hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels? Why don't you go rob." Zhang Wenfu was furious. He finally saw it; Chen Guanlou was clearly stuck in the eyes of money, only recognizing money and not people.

Chen Guanlou's face instantly collapsed, and he said unceremoniously: "Do you think this official looks down on a mere five hundred taels? You calculate it yourself, how many prisoners are locked in the Grade A prison, this official can find any prisoner, and it won't be just a mere five hundred taels.

Tell you, there are countless people in this prison queuing up to send money to this official, but this official's principle is too strong, and I don't want money of unknown origin. If it weren't for the sake of Young Master Ye's friend, and the Marquis's Mansion instructing this official to take good care of you, who do you think you are, to let me rack my brains for you?"

A face-to-face scolding made Zhang Wenfu's face turn white and white.

Having been in the Heavenly Prison for such a long time, he still had some progress. At least he learned to be able to bend and stretch. He hurriedly apologized, "Master Chen misunderstood, it was my slip of the tongue before, those words were definitely not my intention. You have a large amount, please don't hold it against me. As for the money, I have no clue at all right now. Please Master Chen give me some time, let me think about it carefully."

"Can."

Chen Guanlou was very straightforward. "When you think about it, tell the prison guard, and I will arrange everything for you. Don't dream of escaping from prison; once you escape, the Ministry of Justice will issue a sea-capture document, and you will be completely finished in this life."

"Master Chen don't doubt my IQ, I am not a fool, and even less a great thief, no matter what, it is impossible to escape from prison."

Escaping from prison is equivalent to cutting off the future.

The criminal officials in the Grade A prison would rather be exiled, or even beheaded, than escape from prison.

Exile, there is still a day of amnesty. Even if you can't wait for it, your children and grandchildren can always wait, and can still take the imperial examination. Sooner or later, there will be a day of rising again.

Beheading, at least preserved the whole family, children and grandchildren still have hope.

Escaping from prison, not only cut off his own future, but descendants cannot take the imperial examination.

Which is light and which is heavy, the criminal officials have an account book in their hearts, and they can calculate it clearly.

Speaking of which, the Grade A prison is easy to manage, all are people who have read books, knowing the truth that those who know the current affairs are heroes. As long as the prison guards keep the rules and don't mess around, the criminal officials will also follow the rules of the prison and not add trouble to the prison guards.

The hardest to manage is actually the Grade B prison, and the Grade C prison is second.

The Grade C prison often has prison escape accidents. But the Grade C prison can be humiliated and beaten at will, if you don't agree, just beat them, not afraid of anyone investigating afterwards.

The people locked in the Grade B prison are a group of people who don't care, can't beat them, and occasionally have to suffer a bit of anger.

"I believe in you, hope you won't let me down. You also have to believe in your own potential. You think, your family's accumulation for several generations, the foundation is sufficient, a mere five thousand taels, sell one or two antiques casually, and it is estimated that it will be there. Hey, parents don't balance the bowl of water, it's really hard for you."

Chen Guanlou seemed to be complaining for Zhang Wenfu.

Zhang Wenfu's eyes lit up, as if he heard the secret of making a fortune from it, and his brain began to turn flexibly. His IQ could finally be used.

Seeing the fish take the bait, Chen Guanlou stopped the topic, gave a few instructions, and left leisurely. Afterwards, just need to let people watch Zhang Wenfu.

Qian Fugui didn't understand, his head full of lawsuits.

"Master let Zhang Wenfu steal the family, is it necessary?"

"The Zhang family clearly wants to abandon Zhang Wenfu. This means that Zhang Wenfu has become a burden, and no money can be squeezed from him in the future. Continuing to lock him up is purely a waste of food. Better think of a way to let him go out quickly, go out and harm the Zhang family. The Heavenly Prison can also earn a sum by the way."

"However, can Master ensure that Zhang Wenfu will definitely go out?"

"I read his case, and also asked someone, time has passed, the old Emperor died, spend some money and the case can be overturned. The Zhang family must be clear about this, but they are not willing to spend even this little money, tsk... This is having a Jinshi, and forgetting the Juren. Or the Zhang family's resources are all given to the Jinshi son, and there are no resources for Zhang Wenfu. Once Zhang Wenfu is released from prison, he will definitely make the whole family restless. Rather than making the family restless, it is better to let him continue to sit in prison. The Zhang family is really good at calculating."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice.

Sighing that kinship is nothing in front of interests.

Zhang Wenfu went from a child pampered by the whole family to an abandoned son, and it was only a short two years. Things are different!

Everything in the world has not changed, what has changed is the human heart.

Zhang Wenfu acted very quickly.

In two days, he not only figured it out, but also had an action plan.

Chen Guanlou opened one eye and closed one eye, watching the prison guard secretly take Zhang Wenfu out of the Heavenly Prison.

Xiao Jin guaranteed, "Half a day, the person will definitely come back."

"I don't care about the process, only the result. As long as the person comes back on time, five hundred taels into the private account, you take five percent."

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Jin was happy, this month's bonus will rise again.

"Master is not worried that Zhang Wenfu will mess up the matter?" Qian Fugui has been studying, considering things more comprehensively, and his mind is more delicate than before.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and said: "If it's messed up, it's his own fault. This official gave him a chance, he is useless, then he has to be prepared to sit in prison until the bottom.

Zhang Wenfu went out for half a day and returned on time.

When he went out, he was empty-handed, and when he came back, he had an extra bundle.

The accompanying prison guard was beaming, obviously the matter was done.

Thieves in the family are hard to guard against, this saying is not bad.

Chen Guanlou doesn't ask about the process, only looks at the result.

Seeing the antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, he called someone to invite Master Du over.

Master Du originally disliked the Heavenly Prison for being unlucky, but as soon as he heard there were goods that needed his appreciation, he immediately put down his prejudice and ran over.

Genuine goods!

Value-preserving!

The value exceeded five thousand taels, initially calculated, about seven thousand taels. ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
