Chapter 572: No one will have trouble with money

~8 min read 1,457 words

Xu Lin was locked in the prison cell, will the Wei family be willing?

Definitely not!

This is not, the next day, the steward of the Wei family came to the door, sent silver, and asked Chen Guanlou to "take good care" of Xu Lin.

"To what extent?" Chen Guanlou glanced at the silver note on the table, asking with a cold tone.

"Let him also taste the taste of our third master, break his life root."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Wei Wei Laosan's life root, how did I hear that it was only injured and can be raised if raised? It didn't break."

"It didn't break. But he, Xu Lin, insulted our third master first, and injured our third master's life root later. If this breath is not vented, what face do we Wei family have to be human. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you are also a member of the noble family. The nobles are of the same breath and branch, we should be more defensive against that bunch of civil officials."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I am just a prison warden, only responsible for guarding prisoners. I have never asked about the conflict between nobles and civil officials. Steward Wei, don't use big hats to fool me."

Steward Wei wanted to blame, but after thinking about it, he was under the eaves and had to bow his head; he was here to ask for help, not to make enemies. So he suppressed the evil fire in his heart and pushed the silver note forward, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, rest assured, there will be a heavy reward from the Wei family afterwards."

Chen Guanlou smiled lightly, "What afterwards or not, let's do it beforehand. My rules here are: collect money and do things, honest and fair. Don't talk about the officialdom's afterwards set."

After saying that, he pushed the silver note back.

Steward Wei was stunned; this meaning clearly was that he disliked the silver given was too little.

He thought, what a big heart, what a greedy heart.

Suppressing his unhappiness, he tentatively asked, "What does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen mean?"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyelids, "Steward Wei, it's meaningless for you to ask like this. I have already made it so clear, and you are still playing dumb with me, is it meaningful? I have already said, I don't like the officialdom set here; here are all rough men, all straight. How much money can your Wei family pay, I will do how much work. If you want to break Xu Wei Laosan's life root, this money is not enough!"

"Then how much is enough?" Steward Wei asked in a low voice.

Chen Guanlou chuckled and gestured with three fingers.

Steward Wei's eyebrows moved, "Three thousand taels?"

"Are you kidding me. That is the life root, the life root, the treasure more precious than life. Xu Wei Laosan's life root, in your eyes is only worth three thousand taels? Get lost!" Chen Guanlou cursed, not knowing the situation at all, and still being a steward of the Hou Fu.

It's no wonder the Marquis of Xuanwei Mansion is not as good as before; look at this steward who handles affairs, just this level, tsk...

"Could it be thirty thousand taels?" Steward Wei was shocked, his voice floating and trembling.

Chen Guanlou chuckled, his eyes disdainful, "Otherwise? If it were you, how much is your life root worth?"

Steward Wei subconsciously clamped his legs, feeling a chill in his lower body, and a kind of panic spread in his heart.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't joke." He said with a stiff smile.

Chen Guanlou sneered, his eyes disdainful, "I am not joking with you. That is the precious son of Minister Xu, who will pass on the family line in the future. You break people's life root, and people will fight with you. Don't tell me my life as Chen Guanlou is not worth money?"

"But, but, thirty thousand taels is too expensive." Steward Wei seemed to be persuaded, but the price couldn't be talked about.

Chen Guanlou laughed, beckoned, and let the other party lean into his ear, "That is the precious son of Minister Xu, who will pass on the family line in the future. You break people's life root, and people will fight with you. Don't tell me my life as Chen Guanlou is not worth money?"

"But, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you are a martial artist..."

"I am a martial artist, not your Wei family's martial artist. Why should I dedicate myself to your Wei family's hatred. Wei Wei Laosan is a fart, apart from silver, no one in the Wei family can order this official. Even if the Marquis comes in person, I am still saying this."

Steward Wei's face turned green and white, white and purple, changing frequently.

Chen Guanlou's tone softened, and he said again: "Actually, since Wei Wei Laosan has no major problems, the life root can still be used, and it does not affect passing on the family line. Just teach Xu Wei Laosan a lesson. This little silver, I tell you the truth, is only enough for Xu Wei Laosan to stay in the torture room for a day or two. If you want more, no. However, I have the final say in the Heavenly Prison, and my rule is that there is no need to make things bloody. Simply starve him for three days and nine meals, plus cut off the water, how about it?"

Steward Wei's mouth twitched.

Partiality!

Naked partiality!

"Did Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen know Xu Wei Laosan before?"

"Don't know."

"Why does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen want to stand up for Xu Wei Laosan?"

"None of your business!" Chen Guanlou retorted unceremoniously, "I dare say, the key point in my words, Steward Wei, you didn't listen to a single sentence. I have already said, I have the final say in the Heavenly Prison. Do you not understand or are you pretending to be stupid? Next time, change to a smarter person to talk to me. I don't have the patience to care about fools. Take your silver and get lost!"

Steward Wei was retorted, you, you, you for a long time, didn't dare to say a harsh word, he was afraid that if he said a harsh word, he wouldn't be able to walk out of the Heavenly Prison gate. Could only roll away gray-faced.

The Wei family's just left, and the Xu family's came, also sending money, asking Chen Guanlou to "take care" of Xu Lin.

The person who came was Xu Lin's fourth brother, born of a concubine, responsible for managing the family's industry at home. Very polite, it can be seen that he has been mixing in the business world for many years, advancing and retreating appropriately, neither arrogant nor humble, speaking like a spring breeze.

Chen Guanlou suddenly felt comfortable.

Still the Xu family knows how to be a person.

Don't blame him for being willing to deal with people full of wealth, speaking well! Unlike officials, who put on official airs at any time, really don't have the patience to serve.

Even the Hou Fu's steward was stained with a body of arrogance, arrogant fart! A servant acting in front of him, not beating people up, is already looking at the face of the nobles being of the same breath and branch.

Chen Guanlou glanced at the silver note on the table, and judging from his experience of dealing with silver all year round, the number was actually the same as the Wei family's, all one thousand taels.

These two families do things...

"Don't hide it from Fourth Master Xu, before you came, the Wei family's steward just left."

Xu Old Four heard this, and his face tightened slightly. Without a word of nonsense, he took out a few more silver notes and placed them on the table, "Please Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen take good care of my third brother. He has a bad temper, please don't be the same as him."

Look, Xu Old Four is so on the road, so sensible, so good at handling affairs.

Not a person of the scene. Speaking and doing things are much more thoughtful than the Wei family steward.

Chen Guanlou smiled, "Fourth Master Xu is polite!"

"This matter was caused by the conflict between the Xu and Wei families' ancestors. In the Heavenly Prison, please Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen take more care of my third brother. As for the Wei family, we are already thinking of ways to resolve this conflict."

"It's best to resolve it. When will the revenge be reported! I'll wait for the good news from your Xu family."
