Chapter 940: Negotiable, Coming and Going

Chen Guanlou returned to the Heavenly Prison to serve.

Familiar territory, familiar smell, familiar people.

He is indeed the chosen Heavenly Prison person.

After leaving for a few days, returning again, he didn't feel that the smell of the Heavenly Prison was unpleasant, but had a sense of intimacy.

Mu Yiguan Mu learned that he was here, carried a small teapot and followed to the office, brewing tea and chatting about gossip on his own.

"Does the Lord still have the heart to serve?"

"What if I don't serve? I'm not a god, and I can't save lives." Chen Guanlou smiled self-deprecatingly. Things have come to this, he can only hope that the old lady of the Marquis's mansion can hold on a little longer.

"Is the Lord not worried at all?"

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, it's not my turn to worry."

Mu Yiguan Mu brewed the tea, and he took a cup to drink!

"Forgot to ask you before, are you familiar with the old lady's poison?"

"Not familiar! But I have heard of it. It won't kill people immediately, nor will it be too painful. It's just that the body will inevitably weaken day by day, and when it reaches the final moment, the five orifices will be closed, blind, deaf, nose blocked, tongue tied, body unable to move, alas..."

Chen Guanlou heard this and was speechless for a while. After a good while, he said: "It's so vicious."

"This old man has already told the Marquis's mansion the symptoms produced by the poison. When that time really comes, the old lady can only be allowed to sleep peacefully, so as not to leave uneasily."

"Thank you!"

Mu Yiguan Mu waved his hand, drinking tea, his mood was quite melancholy.

To be honest, he didn't expect the old lady of the Marquis's mansion to suffer such a disaster, it's fate!

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly. "Don't reveal a word to the outside. I am very busy these days, I have to stay in the Marquis's mansion to help, and I won't go to the Heavenly Prison to serve. If you have anything, put it aside for now, and talk about it after I'm busy."

Chen Quan came to report. "Reporting to the Lord, the criminal official Zhao Jinming said he has something important and wants to talk to the Lord face to face."

"Did he think it through?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

"The small one doesn't know. He only wants to talk to the Lord face to face, and refuses to spit out a word about the rest."

Chen Guanlou laughed, these criminal officials have tight mouths, not seeing the rabbit and not throwing the eagle.

He pondered for a while. "Okay, for the sake of money, I'll go and meet him. Old Mu, you come with me, and by the way, check Zhao's body to see how much life he has left."

"This... the criminal official Zhao Jinming is not guilty of death." Mu Yiguan Mu hesitated.

"Currently, he is not guilty of death. Once they investigate him, he won't be far from death." Chen Guanlou turned his head and asked Chen Quan again, "Recently, how many criminal officials has the Ministry of Justice interrogated, and have they used torture?"

"Reporting to the Lord, the Ministry of Justice interrogates criminal officials every day, and half of them have been tortured. The Six Fan Sect also came to interrogate, and went directly to the torture room, the small one couldn't stop it."

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly. "Next time the Six Fan Sect comes to interrogate prisoners, if it's to their Six Fan Sect office, don't stop them. If it's to the torture room to interrogate prisoners, remember to let them leave medical expenses."

Chen Quan was a bit embarrassed, afraid he couldn't do it.

Chen Guanlou encouraged him. "Fear a fart! If they dare not give face, just shine my name. I don't believe that the Six Fan Sect has the guts to ride on my head and scatter wild."

With these words, Chen Quan felt full of confidence and confidence.

"Next time I will definitely ask the Six Fan Sect for medical expenses."

"That's great!"

Chen Guanlou took Mu Yiguan Mu to the Heavenly Prison, met the criminal official Zhao Jinming, and first let old Mu check the other party's body.

Zhao Jinming was a bit nervous, but overall very cooperative.

"How?"

"Zhao's body is healthy, remember to eat well, eat eight points full. If you are hungry, your body will be weak. The environment of the Heavenly Prison is not conducive to health. Eating on time and eating well is the best measure to save your life."

Mu Yiguan Mu hinted that Zhao Jinming had been restless recently, his diet was irregular, and he must not have eaten well. Looking at his face, he had lost a circle.

Chen Guanlou smiled clearly. "Zhao, you can't do this. If you don't eat well, I'm afraid you won't be able to persist until the end."

"When is the end?" Zhao Jinming looked like all his energy had been drained, looking weak, half-dead.

"Could it be that you thought it through, intending to seek life through death, and preserve your family?"

Zhao Jinming wiped his face. "If I want to survive, can Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen be cheaper? Fifty thousand taels is really too much, I can't empty my pockets, and my family has been ransacked, I really can't take out so much money, not deliberately crying poor."

"Zhao, why bother?" Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice. "Fighting in the south for several years, you people have long been fat and oily. Not only embezzling food and grass, conscripting civilians, collecting taxes, occupying good fields... there are plenty of opportunities to make money. A mere fifty thousand taels, can it stump you?"

"But... I really have no money. And, I inquired, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, your price is not right. Others are at most one or two thousand taels, why is it fifty thousand taels when it comes to me?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, laughing at the other party's naivety, and it is also possible that he is pretending to be naive.

"Zhao, let's not talk in secret, why I charge you such a high price, can you not know in your heart?" He smiled. "The price is up to me, you can not accept it, I will never force it. All the treatment you should have will be given, you don't have to worry about me giving you small shoes, I'm not that stingy.

Heavenly Prison business, pay attention to willingness, one willing to fight and one willing to suffer. We don't engage in forced buying and selling. If you can find someone from the outside, and the price is suitable, I will never stop you. You can ask other criminal officials, has the Heavenly Prison ever stopped them from contacting the outside."

"Never heard of it."

"It can be seen that the reputation of our Heavenly Prison is well-known. Zhao, what other questions do you have, just ask. Today I am in a good mood and willing to answer you patiently."

"Is thirty thousand taels okay?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head slowly. "Your life, the lives of your family, is it only worth thirty thousand taels?"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, please be kind, I really have no money. Just thirty thousand taels, I have to bear a large debt, sell the family business of my ancestors, and be an unfilial son."

Zhao Jinming cried bitterly!

Wanting to use this to gain sympathy.

Little did he know, Chen Guanlou hated men crying the most.

Especially a man of his age crying, it is disgusting.

He didn't even want to look at it.

He said very disgustedly: "You can choose to die! No need for thirty thousand taels, two thousand taels is enough."

"But I don't want to die."

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

"As long as my case is not issued, I don't have to die."

"Is it possible? It will be investigated in a few days, don't worry, I won't do anything, nor will I say an extra word. How about this, wait until you are interrogated, and then we will discuss the money. How about it?"

Chen Guanlou was really patient today, willing to give the other party a chance.

Doing business, it depends on negotiation time after time. A business of tens of thousands of taels, it should be cautious.

"Will it really be investigated?" Zhao Jinming was visibly panicked.
