Chapter 851

~8 min read 1,489 words

Liu Qinghuan would never tell Chen Guanlou what he was envying.

Some things, some thoughts, can only be understood, not spoken.

People in the world envy others' wealth and power, while he only envies the other party for living so freely.

He had no hope in this life, only seeking the next.

He said to Chen Guanlou: "After I die, please ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to do me a favor and have someone sew my corpse back together completely, so I can be buried with a whole body. For this, I will offer all my remaining wealth. I hope Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen will fulfill this."

Chen Guanlou didn't quite understand, "You are not afraid of death, not afraid of death by a thousand cuts, but you are afraid of not being buried with a whole body. Your train of thought..." was truly a bit strange.

Liu Qinghuan didn't hide it either, laughed at himself, "Does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen believe that people have a next life?"

"Perhaps!"

Chen Guanlou didn't deny it, giving an ambiguous answer. He was a living example, clearly people have a next life. It's just that this matter is not for outsiders to know.

"I also believe that people have a next life. In the next life, I want to be born into an ordinary, slightly wealthy family, grow up carefree, and be healthy. If I am buried incomplete, I worry that I won't be able to be reborn well in the next life. Whether you believe it or not, you must fight for yourself. Does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen agree?"

Chen Guanlou nodded, "You believe what you believe, I believe what I believe. My principle is to take money and do things. As long as the money is in place, I will find you the best corpse-sewing craftsman to ensure you are buried completely. If the money is not in place, all promises are void."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen truly has principles in doing things." Liu Qinghuan laughed.

Chen Guanlou also laughed along, "Have you noticed, taking money to do things is truly the most just. Relying on human relationships to do things, the cost is much higher than money. From the day gold and silver became currency, the value produced by people doing things has had a unified standard.

However, people in the world despise using gold and silver as a scale, calling it vulgar, scolding people for recognizing money but not people. They just love to engage in human relationships, just love that set of recognizing people but not money.

Little do they know, human relationships will make the cost of doing things grow exponentially. You guys, your brains have all been brainwashed. If today, I also played that set of human relationships, even if you took money to ask me to do things, I wouldn't even look at it, taking the money but not doing things. Could you stand it?"

Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "No wonder people outside say Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen does things in an unconventional way, not tolerated by the world. Now it seems, those rumors are too narrow."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "You barely have a brain. Any standard in the world is difficult to treat everyone equally. Only money can achieve equality to the greatest extent, although there are many drawbacks, at least the standard is visible to everyone, at least it can cover as many people as possible. How much money for how much work, clearly marked prices. Anyway, the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison all recognize this set, no cheating, no need to worry about being ripped off."

"I understand." Liu Qinghuan nodded, "I will have people raise as much money as possible, please ask Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen to wait patiently for a few days."

"No problem! You can pay the money before you die, I can afford to wait. Are you really not planning to confess anything?"

"Nothing to confess. What can be said I will naturally say. What cannot be said, don't talk about beating me to death, even death by a thousand cuts cannot make me say it. Besides, I am just a branch deacon, I don't know much, don't overestimate me. If I were really that important, I should be in the Imperial Prison now, not in the Heavenly Prison."

"Makes sense!" Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, "Your cult leader has some skills." The brainwashing ability is top-notch.

Liu Qinghuan was a bit confused, endured and endured, but couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Has Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen met my cult leader?"

"Met him. Ambitious, full of ghost stories, nine and a half out of ten sentences he says are fake. The remaining half sentence still needs to be pondered. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will jump into the pit he dug."

"Listening to this, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has suffered losses."

"More than just suffered losses."

Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile, "So I am very curious, why are there so many people loyally following an ambitious person. I didn't see how extraordinary leadership that guy has."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has prejudices against my cult, naturally you can't see the benefits."

"Forget it! Neither of us can convince the other, you continue to eat your prison food, I continue to be my prison warden. Eat well, eat more. After eating the last meal, even if you want to eat, you won't be able to."

Leaving the C-rank prison, he sat under the eaves to bask in the sun for a while and took a nap.

After he woke up, Mu Qingshan sent an envelope.

"Reporting to you, my lord, someone outside specifically named that this letter be handed to you."

The thick envelope aroused his curiosity, "Who sent it?"

"The other party didn't say. After dropping the envelope, they left."

"What did they look like?"

"The student is incompetent, didn't see clearly. Just an ordinary person."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the envelope, and a thick stack of silver notes was revealed. Attached was a note, written: Deeply grateful!

Damn!

This was the silver notes sent by Zhang Daohe.

Zhang Daohe is so bold, at a time when the wind is blowing and the cranes are calling, he still dares to run to the capital to be active.

"My lord, what's inside?"

"None of your business. Really didn't see what the person who delivered the letter looked like?"

Mu Qingshan shook his head, he really didn't see clearly, the other party looked too ordinary, ordinary to the point of forgetting after seeing.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, "If the other party wants to hide, there is always a way." After all, the thing cult bandits are best at is hiding their identity and appearance.

Zhang Daohe, this guy, is quite trustworthy. Said there would be a heavy reward, and the heavy reward came.

It seems that someone has been paying attention to the situation around him, Eunuch Wang just left, and the money was sent.

"Next time there is a similar matter, remember to call me in time."

"My lord is taking a nap, how would the student dare to disturb."

"You have the most nonsense." Chen Guanlou complained with extreme disdain, "Nothing, step down."

"My lord, the roof of the prison cell is in disrepair, the student is worried that in the winter blizzard, the roof will not be able to bear it. Should we report it and let the Ministry of Works send someone to repair it."

"At the beginning of the year, why didn't you let the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works repair it?"

"Not enough money, the people of the Ministry of Works refused to do it."

Truly... unreasonable.

The people of the Ministry of Works are fed fat by one big project after another. Repairing the Heavenly Prison is a job they thoroughly despise. If it weren't for the Ministry of Justice urging repeatedly, they would definitely keep dragging it out. Delusion to let the people of the Ministry of Works take the money for repairing the C-rank prison and repair the A-rank and B-rank prisons together, absolutely impossible.

This bunch of guys who drill into the eyes of money are not good things.

He thought for a while, "You report this situation first, urge the Ministry of Justice to allocate funds. As long as the money is in place, at worst we will go outside to find craftsmen."

"My lord, going outside to find craftsmen is not in line with the rules. Once something happens, we will have to bear full responsibility. The Marquis's heir is in the Ministry of Works, why should you look far for help, my lord. Better to ask the heir. Human relationships should be used when they should be used, my lord, don't lose the substance for the sake of face."
