Chapter 928

~8 min read 1,454 words

"Of course you can die!"

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a smile but not a smile.

"No one absolutely cannot die. Even the Emperor has to die, how can you not die? You die, the Zhao family continues to live, at most living a bit poorer, but there is no need to go into exile. Your descendants can still study, and there will be a chance to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. The key is, you have to leave some silver for your family."

"No need to leave silver, take it all out, save me, save me! I really can't die! Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you must save me."

Zhao Jinming cried and shouted.

That image, sigh, the official's dignity is all lost.

"This matter, you'd better discuss it with your family. I don't want to be backstabbed by your family when I run errands for you. After you discuss it properly, we will talk."

"No need to discuss, I can make the decision alone." Zhao Jinming said sonorously.

Chen Guanlou stared at the other party, "Or, you'd better listen to my quote first. If it's the whole family exile package, the price is this number!"

Chen Guanlou gestured with five fingers.

Zhao Jinming was instantly dumbfounded, "Five, fifty thousand taels!"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyelids, "Right, at least this much. Don't think it's expensive! Your case involves a general on the rebel Prince of Chu's side, this is colluding with rebels, equivalent to treason. To save your life, I not only have to get through everyone in the Ministry of Justice, but also have to find a way to get through the relationship with the Embroidered Uniform Guard next door, as well as Xie Changling.

Xie Changling is presiding over the war in the south, and the embezzlement case is what he strongly advocated to handle again. Your case must pass before his eyes. Think about it, so many people, how much silver it will cost. I'm just earning a little errand fee from you."

"Getting through Minister Xie and the Ministry of Justice, I can understand. Why do I have to get through the Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Zhao Jinming looked puzzled. He suspected the other party was extorting silver, but had no evidence.

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, showing great dissatisfaction; he actually dared to suspect him of quoting randomly, joke!

Does he need to quote randomly?

If it weren't for the sake of making money, he wouldn't want to take on the case of the one surnamed Zhao; it's troublesome!

However, he still explained: "Embezzlement cases, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will not intervene; these cases have always been the private land of the Three Judicial Offices. However, regarding the case of colluding with rebels, it will definitely not escape the Embroidered Uniform Guard's investigation. If you don't settle the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you think you can go to exile in one piece? Believe it or not, before you walk out of the Heavenly Prison, your head will move!"

Zhao Jinming immediately touched his neck, confirming that his head was still hanging well on his neck, and only then breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Guanlou looked at him, his tone slightly slowed down, and said: "Better choose beheading! Beheading doesn't hurt, swish, the head falls off. You haven't even felt the pain, and the person is already dead. The money spent is less, and you can protect your family. Even if you don't think about your wife and children, you should think about the Zhao family's century-old plan. The key is that the price is cheap."

"How... how much money?" Zhao Jinming was not very happy, but still asked stammeringly.

Chen Guanlou gestured with two fingers.

"Twenty thousand taels? Why is the gap so big?"

"You die, so there is no need to smooth things over with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and it doesn't even need to pass through Xie Changling's nod. Just get through the relationship of everyone in the Ministry of Justice. How about that, is it very cheap!"

"This, this is also too expensive!"

"Expensive?" Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile, "Don't let the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Minister Xie hear this. Don't let the Minister of Justice hear it either. You shout expensive, believe it or not, they will immediately double it for you."

Zhao Jinming immediately covered his mouth, as if there was really a pair of invisible eyes staring at him, knowing his every move at any time.

"I'm already dead, why do I still have to spend twenty thousand taels."

"Twenty thousand taels, buying the peace of your Zhao family, buying the elimination of your case, buying permanent peace. You can also not buy it. Ten thousand taels, you beheaded, your family exiled, how about that?"

Zhao Jinming shook his head repeatedly.

Spending ten thousand taels, he not only has to be beheaded, but his family is also exiled, simply miserable.

The Heavenly Prison is too dark.

Opening his mouth is a price in units of ten thousand.

Thinking of him being an official for so many years, most of the time he only did work in units of thousands, rarely encountering work in units of ten thousand.

Black shop!

Chen Guanlou:...

Is it black?

Clearly marked price, no cheating.

And there is no forced buying or selling, where does the black shop come from.

Slander!

This is proper slander!

Smear!

Rumors and slander!

Not charging the other party a reputation damage fee is already extremely polite.

"Minister Zhao, have you thought about it, which one to choose? Why not listen to me, or discuss it with your family first, how about that?" Chen Guanlou tempted. Looking at the white hair on the other party's temples, he couldn't bear it!

He is just too kind, can't bear to see people's nine clans disappear, racking his brains to offer ideas, just to earn a little hard-earned money.

There are not many people like him who wholeheartedly think for the client these days.

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it."

Zhao Jinming was also a head of paste at this moment, unable to make up his mind for a while.

Seeing this, Chen Guanlou ordered the prison guards to take good care of him, not to let Minister Zhao suffer any grievances. This is the God of Wealth. Whether everyone will eat fragrant and spicy or eat bran and drink thin in the future depends on the God of Wealth's financial resources.

The prison guards answered loudly, one by one full of energy.

Chen Guanlou nodded with satisfaction, taking the opportunity to patrol the prison cells.

Passing by one of the cells, he stopped and asked: "Are you Zhang Yushi Geng of the Censorate?"

"Does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen know this official?"

"Don't know! But someone knows you, and even urged me to take good care of you."

Two days ago, he suddenly received a letter from Zhao Mingqiao, entrusting him to take care of a prisoner. It was the Zhang Yushi Geng in front of him!

Zhang Yushi Geng thought for a moment and figured it out, "You mean Brother Zhao Mingqiao?"

"Exactly him! Are you two very close?"

"Just colleagues."

"Just colleagues, and he specifically wrote a letter entrusting me to take care of you?" Chen Guanlou looked up and down, thirty or forty years old, that arrogant appearance, like a brainless young man.

But obviously, this Zhang Yushi Geng couldn't be brainless.

This time it was mainly because of the request to establish a Crown Prince and being implicated, becoming cannon fodder.

Emperor Jian Shi, this person, has the same virtue as the late Emperor. Every time he quarrels with court officials, if he can't win, he simply flips the table, throwing a batch of people into prison to block the mouths of the public.

Never willing to actively solve problems.

Establishing a Crown Prince, the dragging technique, Emperor Jian Shi has mastered its essence!

No matter how the court officials say or quarrel, just one word: drag!

Drag until it can't be dragged anymore.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen doesn't need to take special care of me. Please reply to Brother Zhao for me, saying I have accepted his kindness."

Chen Guanlou ignored the other party's words and asked directly: "Are you also a member of the Youth Society?"

Since Zhao Mingqiao left the capital, the Youth Society has quieted down and become much more peaceful. It hasn't made any movement for a long time.

I heard that many backbones of the Youth Society followed Zhao Mingqiao to local areas to engage in activities, wanting to engage in new ideas and new things!
