Chapter 716: Lion opens its mouth wide

There is no wall in the world that doesn't leak wind.

Chen Guanlou fished a little white face out of the Imperial Prison, and this matter spread throughout the officialdom in the blink of an eye.

For a time, many people had thoughts and wanted to find him to fish people out. Not asking to leave prison, just asking to transfer from the Imperial Prison to the Heavenly Prison.

Money is easy to talk about.

As long as it can be transferred, they will scrape together even if they smash the pot and sell the iron.

Chen Guanlou:...

Do you know how much effort he wasted to fish Gu Shanhe out of the Imperial Prison? He had to smile and chat about family affairs. Do you know how difficult Xiao Jincheng is to deal with, the other party doesn't even smile.

Facing a coffin face, he had to smile all the way, saying auspicious words, do you know how difficult it is? He sold his soul to fish out such a person.

Besides, the surname Xiao is a person of principle, how can he bow for five dou of rice.

Unless...

Add money!

Maybe there is a chance.

He is not sure.

The surname Xiao is unpredictable, and he really can't grasp it.

The people who dragged the door had some background. People don't go to the Heavenly Prison, they go directly to the Hou Fu, asking the Hou Fu to come forward as a middleman. Chen Guanlou always has to give some face to the Hou Fu. Even if he refuses, everyone looks good on the surface, and there is no need to tear his face off.

So, before he got off work, he received an invitation from the Hou Fu.

This kind of thing is always handled by the big steward.

A banquet was set up, and the old and the young ate and chatted.

Chen Guanlou had always been thinking about the craftsmanship of the Hou Fu's chef. Tonight's banquet was a cut above the big pot rice of the banquet. Eating so well every day really makes people jealous.

The big steward saw him eating happily, so he said: "If you like it, it's fine to come and eat every day."

"Every day is fine. I am a mountain pig who can't eat fine bran, and I live in the three-entry mansion given by the Hou Fu and dislike it. If you let me go to the Hou Fu every day, it's better to die. If you are really intentional, send me a chef."

"Sending you a chef is not impossible. The chef who set up this banquet has several apprentices, but unfortunately, they haven't finished their apprenticeship, and their craftsmanship is still lacking. It's better for the Hou Fu to train for you for two years, and after they finish their apprenticeship, send them to you."

"Okay! That's settled."

The wool of the Hou Fu must be plucked, Chen Guanlou is not polite at all. Being polite to the Hou Fu is being cruel to himself.

With his current family background, raising a chef is more than enough.

But he forgot that this kind of big chef is only responsible for cooking, not for burning fire, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and serving vegetables. Their requirements for kitchen helpers are high. It is equivalent to raising a chef while raising a group of kitchen helpers.

It just so happens that someone is sending silver.

The big steward took the opportunity to talk about Gu Shanhe. "The surname Gu you fished out of the Imperial Prison, besides having a local richest father-in-law, has no outstanding points."

"Having a local richest father-in-law is already an outstanding point. I opened the price, the other party didn't bargain, saying when to want money, when to give money, from beginning to end without a word of nonsense. Such a good customer is rare these years. There are many rich people in the capital, but there are also many people who bargain, forcing, and pointing fingers. Humph! Not used to it!"

Chen Guanlou said with a smile.

It seems to be teasing, but it is actually telling a fact.

The dignitaries in the capital like to be calculating and point fingers. They always think that a small prison guard is not worthy of sitting on an equal footing with them. Clearly asking for help, they still take the tone. Humph! Not used to it!

The richest man's side is much more sensible, saying what the Heavenly Prison says, executing without discount, without half a word of nonsense. How much is the price, how much is it, without bargaining. If the money is not enough, borrow it.

This kind of customer is a high-quality customer.

The big steward doesn't have to come forward to make money, usually others take money to please him. So he can't experience the heartache of money being hard to earn and shit being hard to eat these years.

It's not people on the same track, it's hard to empathize.

"Because of this, you fished people out? No value at all."

"How can there be no value. I don't agree with this. Isn't money value? People give enough money, give it refreshingly enough, here with me, this kind of customer has the most value."

The big steward had a headache.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should agree or refute.

He sipped his tea and pondered for a while. "Since you can fish people out of the Imperial Prison to the Heavenly Prison, I think you have already opened the relationship on the Embroidered Uniform Guard side. I have a list here, you ponder it, see if you can fish it out to the Heavenly Prison together."

A list was placed in front of Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou:...

"Big steward, you are making things difficult for me, or joking with me. People the Hou Fu can't fish out, I can do it? You are looking too highly at me."

Chen Guanlou complained repeatedly, don't look too highly at him! He is a mere prison warden, with no ability.

Every day is just touching fish, drinking, and sleeping with beautiful girls.

Other things, he doesn't care at all.

When he was a squad leader and prison guard before, he would worry about it, flipping through official documents. Now, he doesn't even look at official documents. The prisoners sent by the Six Fan Gate are all handled by several prison guards.

More and more lazy!

He is just such a lazy person, with no ability. Really don't know how to fish people!

Don't count on him for this matter.

The big steward didn't believe him. "Don't mythologize the Hou Fu! The Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't belong to the three divisions, imperial power is special, first cut and then play. Any official cannot interfere with the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Once interfered, it violates the taboo, this is a big taboo in the officialdom. Moreover, the head of the current Embroidered Uniform Guard, that surname Xiao, is oil and salt won't enter, except for the Emperor, no one's face is given.

To tell the truth, you can be friends with him, deal with him, it is truly unexpected. Thinking carefully, it makes sense, your identity doesn't need to worry about certain rules of the officialdom, naturally you can deal with the other party."

"First, I am not friends with Xiao Jincheng, we are just using each other." Chen Guanlou emphasized solemnly, "Second, I eat public food, I must follow the public rules. Big steward, you can't induce me to make mistakes!"

The big steward laughed angrily.

Still inducing him to make mistakes!

Every day he is farting in front of him.

Is the silver in his pocket fake? Are the mansions and beauties fake?

Silver can't fly into his pocket by itself.

"Don't change the subject! Look at this list carefully, can it be fished out? The price is easy to talk about."

Chen Guanlou didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Can't fish it out!"

"Can fish out a few?"

"Can't fish out even one!"

"Strive to fish these three people out, others can be ignored."

The big steward picked up his pen and circled three names.

The two talked to each other, each talking about their own, and it seemed that they had reached a cooperation intention.

Chen Guanlou finally gave face this time, glanced at the three names circled, blinked his eyes and didn't express his attitude.

The big steward continued: "The price is easy to discuss, you open a price."

"Look, look, what did I say! The dignitaries in the capital don't do things cleanly, this tone is the meaning of bargaining! I dare to open the price, do they dare to answer?"

"You open a price first and let me listen." The big steward was not afraid. He expected that the price should be within the acceptable range.

Chen Guanlou sneered, gestured with his fingers. "One for fifty thousand taels, three for one hundred and fifty thousand. For this matter, I will run errands. How about it?" ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
