Chapter 540: You Want Too Much

"You worry that this official will default on the debt?" Sun Daoning was so angry that his beard flew and his eyes glared, extremely angry.

"Won't Master default on the debt?" Chen Guanlou asked back. Dragging for so long, the main person Jiang Tu is dead, and the house is copied, but dragging and not giving him money, typical defaulting behavior.

"Of course not. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, we have cooperated for so many years, when has this official ever deceived you?"

"Master hasn't deceived me, but Master hasn't given much benefit either."

"You are serving as Jiang Jiang Yucheng now, isn't this a benefit?" Sun Daoning was furious, not expecting Chen Guanlou to cross the river and tear down the bridge, not admitting the benefit he got.

Chen Guanlou was speechless. "I serve as Jiang Jiang Yucheng because I completed the errand you entrusted to me, this is the return I deserve, not a benefit. Master, you listen to what you say, normal transaction, being said by you as alms to me, this is not appropriate. This is tarnishing the fairness of the transaction."

Sun Daoning waved his hand repeatedly. "This official doesn't want to argue with you about these details."

"When will the money be given? It won't be all divided up, and the promise can't be fulfilled, right."

"No such thing. How about this, I will first allocate a field manor to you, plus ten qing of land, and additionally give you two storefronts."

"This is not enough." Chen Guanlou refused flatly. A mere field manor and two storefronts, wanting to dismiss him, dreaming. That is Jiang Tu's family property, even if it is only three percent, it is definitely more than this little bit. Jiang Tu's family property is counted in millions, this little broken thing, can it be worth 30,000 taels?

What's more, Jiang Tu's family property, he secretly found someone to estimate, two or three million taels should be there. Even if there is a loss, two or three million taels should be there.

If he took the field manor and storefronts today, Sun Daoning would use this as an excuse to drag it on, dragging it until death without admitting the debt. After a hard trip, he got such a little thing, Sun Daoning really treated him as a fool to tease!

Sun Daoning's face sank, and he simply tore the window paper, saying: "You want too much."

"When we talked about conditions back then, Master didn't dislike that I wanted too much."

"Jiang Tu's family property is counted in millions, you seem to want little, but reflected in the account, it is really too much, too eye-catching. This official cannot cover the sky with one hand in the Ministry of Justice, it is impossible to allocate so much wealth to you. Especially your identity is only a Heavenly Prison Jiang Jiang Yucheng. Once discovered, this official will also be unable to eat and walk around."

"These are all your problems, not my problems. When we talked about conditions back then, you should have thought of this. Master, I am not a grass-roots person outside, not so easy to dismiss. Are you sure you want to prevaricate me like this?"

Chen Guanlou smiled without a smile, clearly stating his attitude, if the promise back then is not fulfilled, then don't blame him for taking extraordinary means.

No one should think about embezzling his money, even the Emperor cannot.

Officials dare to embezzle his money, he will kill the official.

The Emperor embezzles his money, he will kill the Emperor.

It's just that simple and rough.

"This official didn't plan to prevaricate you." Sun Daoning was furious. Chen Guanlou, this bastard, handling affairs is really reassuring, the things entrusted are definitely handled properly. However, the temper is also really smelly, dying for money, recognizing money and not people, not giving any face at all. Moving and threatening people by overturning the table, relying on martial arts and not putting others in his eyes.

He rubbed his eyebrows, looking sad. "How about this, give this official another month. This official will find a way to raise it, and then give you the money all at once."

"Half a month."

"One month! Chen Guanlou, you are also an official, you should understand that handling affairs in officialdom requires procedures, must consider all aspects clearly, and doing things thoroughly will not be caught by others. The Ministry of Justice is not my one-word hall, wanting to take the money out legally, always need a little time."

Chen Guanlou secretly rolled his eyes, really bullying him for not understanding.

"Twenty days. Either give it to me now. Believe that with Master's financial resources, a little money is not a problem."

Humph!

Sun Daoning snorted coldly. "Alright, twenty days is twenty days. You kid, no one has ever dared to threaten this official like this, you are the first one."

Chen Guanlou smiled. "Next time Master has an errand that cannot see the light, just look for me. I will mark the price clearly, treat everyone equally, and guarantee to handle the matter properly."

"This official has no errand that cannot see the light, don't talk nonsense. Roll, roll, roll, this official has important matters to do, so I won't send you back to the Heavenly Prison. You walk back yourself."

Sun Daoning turned his face and drove Chen Guanlou off the carriage.

Chen Guanlou got off the carriage, strolled to the teahouse to listen to storytelling, eating, drinking, and playing in one dragon. Slept in the brothel at night.

Early the next morning, refreshed and went to work.

Called Prison Clerk Zhang of the Grade B prison, and asked about Zhu Ruhai's situation.

Prison Clerk Zhang's expression was a bit unnatural, Chen Guanlou asked him directly, "Things are not going well? How much money did you get?"

"Two thousand taels."

"What? So many days have passed, only got two thousand taels. You... don't those many means work?"

"The one surnamed Zhu is a tough nut, soft and hard don't eat. If forced, he wants to seek death. The people below dare not cause human lives."

"Hungry for nine meals in three days, he dares not give money."

"Hungry, and cut off water. This guy is really able to carry, dead and not loosening his mouth. I estimate that even if he enters the torture room, Zhu Ruhai can carry it without loosening his mouth."

Chen Guanlou was very surprised, sighing: "Wanting money and not wanting life, the willpower is so tenacious, talent! No wonder he can make the business flourish. This official really didn't see the wrong person, this guy's water is deep, unfathomable."

Zhu Ruhai's superhuman willpower, carrying hunger is something anyone can do, but being able to carry without drinking water, this is not something ordinary people can do.

Such tenacious willpower, doing anything can be successful. Such a character, actually didn't enter officialdom.

"Do you know why Zhu Ruhai didn't become an official?"

Prison Clerk Zhang was stunned. "The small one doesn't know."

Chen Guanlou knocked on the table. "Send someone to investigate, and find out his background."

Could it be that the Zhu family all couldn't see Zhu Ruhai's talent, all were blind? There must be hidden feelings.

After two days, Chen Guanlou went down to the Grade B prison, and came to the prison door again, looking at Zhu Ruhai who had a calm expression and was at ease.

"How have Master Zhu been these days, is the life in the Heavenly Prison used to it."

Chen Guanlou asked with apparent concern.

"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for your concern, the days are okay, always can pass." Zhu Ruhai laughed, his eyes seemed to be mocking him for being hypocritical.

Chen Guanlou pinched his nose. "Heard that Master Zhu had a talent name when he was young, and was called a talented person. Didn't expect Master Zhu to finally give up the imperial examination and official career, and become a merchant."

"Where is there any talent name, it was all praised by people, real talent is really not there." Zhu Ruhai waved his hand, with an expression of not mentioning the past. "You also know, I am a clansman of the Earl's Mansion, and have a little money, surrounded by a group of people who praise stinky feet. Even if I write a dog-fart poem, this gang will praise, saying I am a great talented person.

When I was young, I didn't understand, and took other people's words seriously. Later I realized that everything is empty. If I had real talent, without Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's reminder, I would have walked on the imperial examination official career long ago. It's just that I am only half a bucket of water, the official career can't go through, can only be a merchant." ===== CHAPTER 541 =====
