Chapter 63: Not Recognizing People After Pulling Up Pants

Phew phew phew!

Sure enough, no ivory comes out of a dog's mouth.

Yu Zhaoan not being beaten to death is all because of his good background, with the Jixia Academy and the Prince of Jin as backing. If it were someone else, the grass on the grave would be as high as one person.

"How can you slander people out of thin air? I am a clean person, how can you ruin my reputation wantonly."

Chen Guanlou almost got anxious. He is straight, straight.

Yu Zhaoan chuckled, his eyes gloomy, revealing a bit of evil spirit. "What are you anxious about, I didn't say you are. It seems you don't know yet, the Zhang Zhang Yushi loves rabbit masters the most. Like you, young and handsome, are also in his hunting range."

Chen Guanlou's face turned green. "Can we not discuss this topic. To tell you the truth, the Zhang Zhang Yushi has been very high-profile recently, and some people can't stand it. I also heard that he is clamoring for the Censorate to abandon you and concentrate firepower to engage Jiang Tu."

Yu Zhaoan sneered upon hearing this. "Not a single word of truth. You can go."

"What truth do you want?"

"Who let you bring words?" Yu Zhaoan gave him a correct look this time. "Let's hear it. If you say it well, I don't mind being used as a knife. Anyway, I don't like the man surnamed Zhang, and seeing someone clean him up, I am happy to see it."

Chen Guanlou deliberated again and again, weighing the pros and cons.

Yu Zhaoan, this person, is full of flaws, and it is not guaranteed that he will stab him in the back. But this person also has an advantage, which is persistence. Things promised will not drop the chain. Even if he wants to backstab, he will finish the promised things before moving. Both have the style of a gentleman and do not stick to the means of a villain.

But he also has a stubborn side, and the nine cows can't pull back the things he identifies. The people above let him write a memorial of apology, and he hasn't moved his pen until now. He really hates the old Emperor in his heart.

Such a contradictory and suspicious person, if you don't give some real material, things won't be done.

Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, lowered his voice, and said: "The Marquis Mansion recently had a conflict with the Zhang Zhang Yushi. The Zhang Zhang Yushi is smelly and hard, refusing to loosen his mouth to resolve the matter. The Marquis Mansion thought of you, Master Yu, hoping you can come forward to resolve it."

"Hehe, it's wanting me to come forward to army the Zhang Zhang Yushi. You first say, why did the Marquis Mansion have a conflict with the Zhang Zhang Yushi. The two sides have nothing to do with each other, don't tell me the Zhang Zhang Yushi wants to engage the Marquis Mansion for no reason."

Yu Zhaoan is worthy of being an old official, mixing in the Censorate. As soon as he heard Chen Guanlou's words, he knew it was not true, half of the words were left.

The person who knows himself best must be his enemy. This word, truth.

Yu Zhaoan is one of the people who knows the Zhang Zhang Yushi best. The Zhang Zhang Yushi is a mad dog, but he has always had a target when biting people, and has enough reasons and benefits to let him take action.

The Great Master of the Marquis Mansion, since falling off the horse, has only hung his post and not managed affairs. Such nobility officials, Censors generally will not provoke, and are more willing to do a favor and take it for use at critical moments.

The Zhang Zhang Yushi biting the Marquis Mansion at this time, hehe, he wants to hear the inside story. Just treat it as adding a little fun to the boring prison life.

Chen Guanlou was silent for a moment, and decided to tell the truth. In front of these real academic masters and smart people, playing tricks is meaningless. Instead, using a sincere attitude is possible to move the other party.

So he lowered his voice and told the story of Ye Young Master and Zhang Er Young Master being beaten one by one. The cause and effect were also said clearly.

Yu Zhaoan was not surprised at all after listening. "When the Great Master fell off the horse, I knew the Marquis Mansion would have infighting sooner or later. Look, it's fighting. Your family and the Marquis Mansion have long been out of the five clothes, why are you willing to help this favor?"

"The Marquis Mansion gave money, and I like money." Chen Guanlou said calmly.

Yu Zhaoan chuckled, his eyes gloomy, revealing a bit of evil spirit. "Others give money and you want it, I give you an opportunity but you refuse it. As expected of only being a prison guard, short-sighted."

Chen Guanlou secretly rolled his eyes. At this moment, he has something to ask for, and temporarily doesn't bother with him. Censors, they are all mad dogs, the more you pay attention to them, the more they come to energy.

"You go back and tell the Marquis Mansion, just say this matter I took, I am willing to share the worries for the Marquis Mansion."

"Conditions?" Chen Guanlou hurriedly asked. 【63-3

Yu Zhaoan gave him a mocking smile, "The terms must be negotiated by the people from the Hou Fu themselves; you are not qualified. This official also wants to see if the Hou Fu has the guts to take this step."

This?

Chen Guanlou felt that this matter might be a bit difficult.

Because seeking out Yu Zhaoan was Liu Guanshi's own decision. It had not gone through the Second Master, let alone informed the First Master. It was only because the Second Lady had come forward and demanded that Liu Guanshi find a way to quell this matter that Liu Guanshi made this move.

Yet Yu Zhaoan opened his mouth like a lion, demanding to ask the Hou Fu for benefits in person.

Forget it, forget it.

Anyway, the message he was asked to pass on had been delivered; the subsequent matters were not for him to worry about. The people who should be worrying were Liu Guanshi and the Second Lady.

Thus, he solemnly promised Yu Zhaoan, "Rest assured, I will definitely take the message to the Hou Fu."

"As for that 'clever' person who sent you to find this official, you go back and tell him: this official's temper is known to everyone in the officialdom. Anyone who dares to let this official come forward to undermine others—humph, they are very daring in their thoughts, but I don't know if they have the guts to do it."

Chen Guanlou remained silent, and only after a long while did he say, "If Lord Yu has no other instructions, I will continue patrolling the prison cells."

"You are already a squad leader, why do you still need to patrol the prison cells yourself?"

"This is my duty."

"The prisoners in the Grade-A prison don't have the Wu Gong manuals you need, so don't waste your time. Anyway, you don't have the martial pulse, so it makes no difference whether you practice martial arts or not."

Chen Guanlou: None of your business.

He did not respond to Yu Zhaoan and insisted on continuing his patrol of the prison cells.

Yu Zhaoan was furious, "Are you a dog! You don't recognize people once you've pulled up your pants. Who was it that was begging this official just a moment ago? Once the task is done, you turn your face. Chen Guanlou, at least put on a show."

Chen Guanlou did not look back, merely gesturing with his middle finger to express his attitude.

"Gesturing with a middle finger, what does that mean?" The native Yu Zhaoan did not understand, but he could guess that gesturing with a middle finger was certainly nothing good. Thus, he also gestured with a middle finger at Chen Guanlou's back. One middle finger wasn't enough, so he simply used two.

Two days later, Chen Guanlou wrote a letter and had the eldest son of Sister Chunxiang's family deliver it to the Liu Fu for him.

The reason he waited two days was that he didn't want Liu Guanshi to think that he handled things easily. He had to create the illusion that handling the matter had taken a Herculean effort.

Yu Zhaoan's temper was so foul; it was only right that he spent a few extra days.

The eldest son of Sister Chunxiang's family, named Dawang, brought back a letter. Inside the letter were two silver banknotes. With money and goods exchanged, this transaction was considered successfully completed.

He gave Dawang five tenths of a tael of silver and urged him, "Don't tell your mother; this is your private money. Do you know what private money is? It's money you can spend yourself."

"Thank you, Brother Xiaolou." Dawang was very satisfied after receiving the silver.

"Call me Uncle!" Chen Guanlou was dissatisfied; his seniority had been lowered for no reason.

"You aren't many years older than me." Dawang was stubborn!

"I call your mother 'Sister-in-law', and you call me 'Brother'; do you think that's appropriate?"

"It's appropriate!" Dawang used his innocent and sincere eyes to successfully play the part of an ignorant, bratty, foolish kid.

Chen Guanlou felt stifled!
