Chapter 542: Giving Face But Not Eating

Zhu Ruhai obviously was not convinced by being manipulated by the young Chen Guanlou.

He had always manipulated others; when had he ever been manipulated.

He thought highly of himself, from beginning to end, never put Chen Guanlou in his eyes. Now, being manipulated, suppressed, and mocked by Chen Guanlou, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party's appearance and mocked, "Previous prison wardens would worry about your status, fear your Earl's Mansion, fear the Princess's Mansion. Now I am the Jiang Jiang Yucheng, my biggest characteristic is that I am not afraid of heaven or earth. Making exceptions in my territory, enjoying excess treatment without giving money, dreaming! Master Zhu, I am talking to you politely today, you better cooperate. After today, if you are still stubborn, don't blame me for not caring about the friendship between nobles. Even if the lawsuit is fought to the Marquis's Mansion, if I want to clean you up, I will definitely do what I say."

"Chen Guanlou, don't go too far. As a member of the Chen clan, as a martial artist, as a member of the Ministry of Justice, your eating appearance is too ugly."

Zhu Ruhai tried to remind Chen Guanlou to pay attention to his status, not to lose the face of the Chen family, not to lose the face of the Marquis's Mansion. If it spreads out, everyone's face will not look good. If the Marquis's Mansion is alarmed, humph humph, then see who is unlucky.

Chen Guanlou naturally understood the other party's implication, and laughed loudly. "Do you think I care? Master Zhu's understanding of me seems limited. I don't mind reminding you, when I first entered the Heavenly Prison, my status was just a low-status prison guard. Step by step, it took several years to sit in the position of Jiang Jiang Yucheng. Do you guess I will care about those messy things you mentioned?"

Zhu Ruhai was speechless.

He never expected that Chen Guanlou was a tough nut, just like him, soft and hard don't eat. He met an opponent.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party's reaction with great interest. "Before coming, I really didn't expect Master Zhu to be a greedy ghost, a person who wants money and not life. After coming, I finally opened my eyes."

"Chen Guanlou, I don't believe you have the guts to kill me."

"I certainly can't kill you. After all, your status is there, if you die in the Heavenly Prison, it's too much trouble. However, as a martial artist, I have many ways to make you wish you were dead. Master Zhu, are you sure you want to experience it?"

Chen Guanlou had an eager-to-try appearance.

He always kept his status straight; in the Heavenly Prison, he was the Jiang Jiang Yucheng, the prison guard, and never put on the airs of a martial artist. He even deliberately downplayed his status as a martial artist, making people ignore it.

If Zhu Ruhai didn't believe in evil and had to force him, he really didn't mind showing it.

The more he looked at Zhu Ruhai, the more he recognized the harm of this person.

Zhu Ruhai frowned and pondered.

Now he is under the eaves, having to bow his head.

Chen Guanlou clearly didn't give face, didn't care about his status background, only wanted money. Saying he dies for money, the one surnamed Chen is even worse.

He gritted his teeth and tried to ask: "How much money do you want? My business seems to be doing very well, but in fact, most of the money earned is filial to the Earl's Mansion. Without the support of the Earl's Mansion, I wouldn't be where I am today. Unlike you, one person eats and the whole family is not hungry."

Chen Guanlou smiled.

Zhu Ruhai is willing to soften, good! This matter is great!

It shows that his threat worked.

Zhu Ruhai is not afraid of anything, only afraid of his status as a martial artist, afraid of wishing he were dead. People have soft ribs, so it is convenient to manipulate.

"The Heavenly Prison has a big family, and there are many people eating and drinking. These days, the brothers of the Grade B prison have spent a lot of energy and time on you. How about this, you first take out twenty thousand taels."

"Why don't you go rob." Zhu Ruhai jumped up instantly, he was crazy with anger. He never expected that Chen Guanlou's appetite was so big, opening his mouth was twenty thousand taels. Robbing money is not as fast as him.

"Master Zhu is joking, if I changed to robbery, do you think you still have a chance to bargain with me here. I would have ended you with one knife long ago."

Chen Guanlou smiled, but said the most bloody words. Saying he didn't threaten people, the words were all about killing and arson. Saying he threatened people, he was still polite, not hiding, like digging his heart, saying all the truth.

"No money!" Zhu Ruhai simply broke the jar and let it break, lying flat.

Chen Guanlou's face sank. "Toast not eating, eating punishment!"

"I mean there is no twenty thousand taels."

"Then how much do you have? Say it clearly first, we provide corresponding services according to the amount of money."

"At most five thousand taels." Zhu Ruhai gritted his teeth, with an expression of losing a lot, bleeding, and losing until only the bottom pants were left. Heartache! Look at his appearance of holding his chest, tsk, worthy of being a person who dies for money.

"Are you treating the brothers of the Heavenly Prison as beggars?" Chen Guanlou was very dissatisfied. "Zhu Ruhai, is it that this official gave you face, making you not recognize your status and situation. Come, drag him to the torture room, and invite old Master Zhang to operate personally."

"Master, can't do it!" Finally, it was Prison Clerk Zhang's turn to perform. He had waited for this moment for too long. "Master Zhu is after all a member of the Zhu family, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, please Master show mercy."

"Show mercy? He is not worthy! Things that give face but don't eat, what are you still stunned for, drag him to the torture room, at least three days. If he survives, it's his life, if he doesn't survive, it's his life."

The prison guard took the order, and immediately opened the prison door, dragging Zhu Ruhai like a dead dog.

"Chen Guanlou, don't mess around!" Zhu Ruhai finally panicked. "If I die in the Heavenly Prison, the consequences are something you can't bear."

Chen Guanlou looked down from above, looking at the other party like a dead dog. "If you die in the

The prison guard roughly dragged Zhu Ruhai toward the depths of the corridor.

Zhu Ruhai shouted in a panic, "Chen Guanlou, you cannot do this. The nobility are all connected; as a member of the Chen clan, you cannot treat me this way. Chen Guanlou, I'll pay, I promise to pay, let me go... I won't let you off even if I die..."

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, and the prison guard stopped.

Chen Guanlou stepped forward a few paces, looking at Zhu Ruhai, who was like a stray dog. "You say you'll pay, how much?"

"Ten thousand taels!"

Chen Guanlou immediately snorted coldly, and the prison guard, being sharp, dragged the man to continue toward the depths of the corridor.

Zhu Ruhai immediately shouted in a panic: "Fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand..."

But the prison guard's footsteps did not stop, and seeing they were about to turn into the deepest corridor, it was as if a devil were waiting inside.

Zhu Ruhai subconsciously swallowed his saliva, looking at the increasingly distant Chen Guanlou, seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping at all. He suddenly realized that Chen Guanlou really dared to kill him, and wanted to kill him from the bottom of his heart.

Why?

He asked himself he had never offended the other party, so why did he want him dead?

"Twenty thousand taels! I agree, twenty thousand taels."

"Not enough!" Chen Guanlou said coldly. "That is not the price now."

"How much do you want?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"You, you, you..."

"If you think that's too little, then forty thousand."

"No, no, no, thirty thousand it is."

The prison guard finally stopped.

Zhu Ruhai felt a sense of relief!
