Chapter 958: Serving the God of Wealth comfortably
"The lord seems very confident that this cheating case will not implicate you!"
Chen Guanlou was slightly interested, whether it was really innocent, or because he mastered some important evidence.
"I am clean and honest, so naturally I am not afraid of being investigated. Just wait for the three law divisions to investigate clearly, and I can go out from here. It's a waste of your efforts, I don't need anyone to run errands and pass messages, nor do I need help to clear my name. You'd better find someone else."
Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in admiration: "The lord is admirable. I have been in the Heavenly Prison for so many years, and I have always managed the Jia-block prison. Like the lord's uprightness, not afraid of investigation, to be honest, you are the first one. People who are officials, their buttocks are inevitably a bit dirty. Even if you are not involved in the cheating case, if other illegal evidence is found, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out."
Wang Huaimin heard this and couldn't help but sneer, mocking: "In your eyes, there is not a single clean official in this world."
"Maybe there is. It's just that I haven't met one yet." Chen Guanlou said truthfully.
Dignified Ministry of Rites' Vice Minister, he didn't believe that the other party relied entirely on his uprightness to be promoted.
Wang Huaimin was not from a big clan, just a medium-sized family in the local area. With such a background, no matter how good his knowledge and ability were, without someone to promote him, without a bit of luck, it was absolutely impossible to be promoted to the Ministry of Rites' Vice Minister at this age of fifty-three.
Wanting someone to appreciate, wanting a bit of luck, relying on knowledge and ability alone is not enough. You also need a bit of other things to stand out and have a smooth official career.
He looked at the other party with a smile, Lord Wang's city is very deep!
"You haven't met, because your knowledge is shallow. In the future, read more books and make more knowledgeable friends, and you will know how big the world is. Don't rely on a bit of martial arts and not put the people of the world in your eyes."
Wang Huaimin preached with the identity of a person who has come over.
Chen Guanlou listened with a smile, not angry, and nodded frequently.
"What the lord said is true! Since the lord has no needs here, then I will say goodbye."
"Get me some books, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"No problem. Look at the price list, give enough silver, and everything will be satisfied."
Wang Huaimin saw the other party take out a price list in the blink of an eye, his face turned livid with anger, his eyes hidden with anger: "As long as there is a need, it requires money."
Chen Guanlou smiled, lightly refuting: "Lord, you can really joke. In this day and age, what can be obtained without money? When you were studying back then, could you read without money? Could you have the four treasures of the study and books without money?
You can't just because you are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, these things become free!
The Heavenly Prison is poor, and cannot afford such a big deficit. You are a Vice Minister, and you will definitely worry about the expenses of the Ministry of Rites, so you should know the difficulty of being a housekeeper. I am the Heavenly Prison Warden, and naturally I have to consider the rice bowls of thousands of people in the Heavenly Prison. I hope we can understand each other, you pay, I provide service, and no one makes things difficult for each other."
Wang Huaimin hummed coldly and flicked his sleeves: "Forget it, just deduct the money from my account. I want the best four treasures of the study, don't take inferior things to dirty my eyes!"
"Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, everything will meet your requirements."
Chen Guanlou collected the price list, confirmed that the other party had no other needs, and decisively left.
Next, he went to see the proper aristocratic son, Zhang Yulang, Lord Zhang.
This one is also a regular visitor to the brothel, Chen Guanlou often met the other party in the brothel, drank together, and had fun together. Barely considered drinking and meat friends.
"Yulang!"
"Brother Lou!"
Zhang Yulang was so excited!
Seeing Chen Guanlou was like seeing a relative.
"Fortunately, it is in the Heavenly Prison, with Brother Lou's care, I have no worries!" Zhang Yulang said excitedly.
Chen Guanlou looked at the other party's slightly disheveled appearance, "Tell me, you were fine, how did you get involved in the civil service examination fraud case? You have no connection with the Ministry of Rites!"
"I'm unlucky! Brother Lou, you don't know how unlucky I am. I just drank too much wine and said a few words of jealousy in the brothel, and was heard by those students, and then... sigh... last year a fortune teller said I was offending Tai Sui this year, fearing official trouble, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be fulfilled."
"Which fortune teller, actually so accurate. Tell me, I'll go find him, and let him calculate for me too."
Zhang Yulang laughed awkwardly: "Can't remember! Brother Lou, you must help me!"
"How can I help you?"
The two were just drinking and meat friends, helping has a price.
"Can you change my cell. It's too dirty here, and there are many insects, look at my body, all red and swollen. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be bitten to death by these insects."
"Exaggerated! In the past, when princes and nobles were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, it was still midsummer, and they all endured it. Don't worry, you will adapt sooner or later. Like this, I will ask someone to open some medicine for wiping, to relieve it. However, medicine is not cheap!"
"Thank you Brother Lou, money is not a problem. Can you order someone to send the medicine now?"
Chen Guanlou nodded and agreed, immediately ordering the prison guard to take the medicine.
Must serve Young Master Zhang comfortably.
This one is a proper God of Wealth, the kind with huge money. Even if he doesn't have money, his family has money! Plus a loving mother, and a loving and huge money grandmother.
This kid is properly grown in a honey pot.
To tell the truth, Chen Guanlou was quite surprised and shocked to learn that the other party was implicated in the imperial examination cheating case.
You say Zhang Yulang lacks money, it's possible. But he wouldn't rely on selling imperial examination questions to make money.
He only needs to go home and show some filial piety to his mother, and brush his face in front of his grandmother, these two female elders, wishing to open the treasury and let him pick valuable things.
Besides, the other party is from a big clan, not to mention anything else, the importance of things is still clear. Growing up, the basic political smell is definitely not lacking. How could he commit such a big crime.
"Yulang, do you know how big the imperial examination cheating case is. If you don't handle it well, you will lose your head. Tell me the truth, is it really just because you said a few words of jealousy in the brothel? This is impossible!"
Chen Guanlou's implication is telling the other party that he is well-informed in the Heavenly Prison, and has been in contact with all kinds of absurd cases and strange cases. Don't talk nonsense in front of him, cheating a three-year-old child. It's really boring.
Zhang Yulang had a bitter face, crying: "Brother Lou, I am really wronged! I have said this countless times, no one is willing to believe me. I am still confused now, why did they arrest me. Just because I said a sentence in the brothel that I knew who was up and who was down in this imperial examination? Simply absurd!"
Chen Guanlou didn't believe the other party.
Zhang Yulang didn't have a few true words in his mouth.
Everyone is a drinking and meat friend, who doesn't know who!
This guy looks like a dandy, but he actually has some heart. The city government is limited, which doesn't mean he has no brain, just because he is young and lacks enough experience. ===== CHAPTER 959 =====
