Chapter 715: The silver was not spent in vain

Xiao Jincheng glanced at Chen Guanlou, seeming very surprised that the other party would ask such a low-energy question.

"How can a small Embroidered Uniform Guard spy on a Grandmaster. If I don't know, I don't know; why should I make up lies to fool Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."

The implication was that he disdained to lie about this matter. Because there was no need.

Chen Guanlou had a new question. "Could it be that the palace doesn't know how many Grandmasters there are in the world?"

"Maybe they know, maybe they don't. The affairs in the palace are not something we Embroidered Uniform Guards can inquire about. I advise Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen not to inquire either. For some things, if your curiosity is too heavy, it will cost you your life."

Chen Guanlou laughed. "You are right, you can't have too strong curiosity. This is... in your lifetime, you have a chance to step into the Grandmaster realm."

Xiao Jincheng's eyebrows jumped slightly, his expression high-spirited. "This is a lifelong goal."

"Since you are dedicated to pursuing the martial path, why waste time in the officialdom and delay serious business."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is like this, and so am I! Conversely, I also want to ask, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is not busy breaking through the Ninth Rank and stepping into the Grandmaster realm, why do you still have the heart to be busy with the miscellaneous affairs of the Heavenly Prison? A small Heavenly Prison should not be able to trap you."

"I am different from you." Chen Guanlou said casually. "I follow fate. If I can break through, it's luck; if I can't, it doesn't affect my eating and drinking. But I see your martial heart is exceptionally firm, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard is exceptionally busy. Being in the officialdom, many times you are not your own master; will it have an impact on you?"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is in the Heavenly Prison and has no impact, and so am I!"

Chen Guanlou:...

Oil and salt won't enter!

Sure enough, it was a stone in the pit, smelly and hard. He said one sentence, and the other party had one sentence to retort. It made him feel embarrassed to refute.

After all, he was also a publicly unconventional, strange, and cannot be inferred by common sense person.

He laughed at himself. "I understand Official Xiao's meaning. I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. I was happy drinking tea tonight, and I will invite you to drink another day."

"Wait until you have time." Xiao Jincheng didn't have half a smile.

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to respond, and stepped on the water to leave.

The surname Xiao stood by the window looking at his back, his martial heart becoming more firm.

The next day, Qian Fugui represented the Heavenly Prison and negotiated with the richest father-in-law of Magistrate Gu. Pay first, and within three days at most, Magistrate Gu would be transferred from the Imperial Prison to the Heavenly Prison. The Heavenly Prison charges money to do things, and there is no deception.

The other party asked how much money.

Qian Fugui opened his mouth for eighty thousand taels according to Chen Guanlou's instructions.

The other party didn't dare to bargain.

But they really couldn't take out so much cash, and they needed to transfer silver from the south, so could they slow down? They could use shops, houses, and warehouse goods as collateral.

Chen Guanlou had long expected that the other party was doing business and couldn't store such a large amount of cash flow in the capital. Silver in the warehouse, not circulating in the commercial market, was equivalent to losing money.

Ordinary merchants, being able to transfer tens of thousands of taels of cash in a short time, already belonged to a very healthy financial situation.

For this, he had long given Qian Fugui instructions.

Without enough silver, you can choose the mortgage method. However, half of the silver must be paid first. Otherwise, the business is void. Time waits for no one, and the horror of the Imperial Prison is known to everyone. One day late, the son-in-law might have broken arms and legs.

Therefore, Qian Fugui gave the other party half a day, and before the afternoon, forty thousand taels of funds must be in place.

The richest man's family rushed to find people to scrape silver, and all the merchants who cooperated for a long time were mobilized. How much cash they wanted, they calculated interest.

The richest man's reputation was still very useful, and the merchants who cooperated for a long time were willing to lend silver.

At the same time, low-price shipping, in exchange for cash.

After half a day of busy work, they finally scraped together the silver and rushed to the Heavenly Prison to send the silver.

Chen Guanlou finally appeared, personally received the representative of the richest man's family, and expressed praise for the other party's punctuality and trustworthiness.

"Rest assured, we in the Heavenly Prison do things, always without deception. I won't entertain you, I have to rush to the Imperial Prison next door to ask for people. I'm just worried that if I'm late, those executioners in the Imperial Prison will execute the sentence in advance."

When the other party heard this, they didn't dare to delay, wishing they could insert wings for him to fly over.

Chen Guanlou naturally didn't need to go to the Imperial Prison personally.

He asked Qian Fugui to come forward, arrange for prison guards to carry silver, and take silver notes to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Twenty-eight thousand taels, of which eight thousand taels were given to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the remaining twenty thousand taels were given to Xiao Jincheng alone.

The surname Xiao had a big appetite, and at first wanted to swallow thirty thousand taels alone. Chen Guanlou exerted his three-inch tongue, bargained, and lowered the price.

Even so, people still didn't have a nose like a nose, and eyes like eyes, and didn't even have a good face.

Once the silver was in place, everything was easy to talk about.

That night, Magistrate Gu was transferred, transferred from the Imperial Prison to the Heavenly Prison, and locked in the Jia-grade prison.

Chen Guanlou went down to the prison personally and stood in front of the cell to look.

Magistrate Gu was very young, only in his early thirties, and sure enough, he was a talent, a face that was hard to blame for the richest man's daughter being obsessed, and the richest man's family didn't hesitate to spend nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver to save him. To be safe out of prison later, he still had to spend a sum of money.

The richest man's family really had nothing to say about this son-in-law. A biological son was nothing more than this.

"Magistrate Gu, are you well!" Chen Guanlou greeted casually.

Magistrate Gu, whose name was Gu Shanhe, arched his hands and bowed. "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, for saving me, so that I could escape from the Imperial Prison." He looked like he was still afraid, obviously stimulated by the terrible scene of the Imperial Prison. At this moment, his face was pale, looking like he had suffered mental torture.

Chen Guanlou didn't be polite either. "I have the first merit in this matter, and I won't be polite. Without me coming forward, even if the King of Heaven came, you would have to stay in the Imperial Prison with broken arms and legs. Look, your father-in-law has the second merit; if it weren't for his decisive action to take out silver to save you, you couldn't have transferred so quickly. Look, your luck is really good. The Imperial Prison didn't have time to punish you, and you successfully transferred, walking out of the Imperial Prison whole. For so many years, like you, the lucky person, you are the first one so far. People with more money and power than you locked in the Imperial Prison didn't have your luck."

Magistrate Gu was a bit stunned, never expecting that he could turn bad luck into good luck, and his luck was so good.

"In any case, thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen! I will also keep my father-in-law's kindness in mind. It's just about good luck, if I were really lucky, how could I be imprisoned. But if I were unlucky, I could successfully escape from the Imperial Prison. Whether it's good luck or bad luck, I can't distinguish it myself."

"It must be good luck." Chen Guanlou said with a smile. "Your bad luck has been walked out, and the road ahead is all good luck, good luck again and again."

Magistrate Gu was a person who talked about etiquette, and bowed again, "Accept Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's auspicious words, but I hope that in the future, it will be good luck again and again, and everyone will have good luck again and again."

Chen Guanlou suddenly understood the mentality of the richest man's family, why they would spend all their money to save their son-in-law.

Gu Shanhe didn't have the problem of nostrils facing the sky, thinking he was extraordinary, and being arrogant. He didn't spend his father-in-law's silver while looking down on his father-in-law's copper smell.

This move is very good!

If the other party was an ingrate, spending his wife's silver while mocking the other party for being stupid, Chen Guanlou would never forgive such a person. ===== CHAPTER 716 =====

If the other party is an ungrateful wretch who spends his wife's silver while mocking her for being a fool, Chen Guanlou would never tolerate such a person.
