"Come, come, come, king, drink."
In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Liang You picked up the wine pot and filled the cup for the red-faced man in front of him.
"You can't drink anymore. I, uh, have to be on duty tonight." The drunken man burped and spit out the smell of alcohol.
Liang You turned sideways and said with a smile on his face: "Wang Tou, you are also the cell leader. Just leave the guarding of the cell to the people below. Come on, let's do it."
He picked up the wine cup and touched it with the wine cup on the man's table.
"Then have another drink. You can't drink any more after finishing it." As he said that, the drunken man picked up the wine cup in front of him, put it to his mouth and drank it all.
"Good drinker." Liang You put down his own wine cup and refilled the other person's wine cup.
The drunken man picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew. After swallowing it, he said, "I'm almost done drinking. If you have anything to do with Butler Liang, you might as well tell him. Although I'm not an official, I still care." Controlling the entire prison, he still has some power."
"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, Wang Tou." Liang You put down the wine bottle and sat back in his seat.
The man with a face full of alcohol burped and said, "Butler Liang is the head butler of the Liang family. If you have nothing to do, you can treat me to a meal with the prison boss. I'm not stupid."
After speaking, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip of wine.
"To be honest, I do have something to ask for, and I hope Wang Tou can help me." While speaking, Liang You took out a silver coin from his sleeve and pushed it in front of the drunken man.
The drunken man glanced at the silver ingot on the table, but did not take it. Instead, he said: "Steward Liang, why don't you tell me what it is about first? I have to know whether this silver will be hot to touch."
"This matter is very simple for Wang Tou. All he needs to do is make one person in prison shut up forever." Liang You tapped his finger lightly on the ingot of silver on the table.
If he kills someone, the money is his.
The drunken man's face raised the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer: "Twenty taels of silver is the life of an ordinary prisoner in the cell. If Butler Liang can personally come forward, I guess the person who wants to shut up is not an ordinary prisoner!"
Being able to gain a firm foothold in a cell requires observing people's behavior.
Liang You, the person the Liang family's housekeeper wanted to kill, even if he was just an ordinary prisoner, he still wanted to make more money from Liang You.
Moreover, he knew like a mirror that Liang Youneng invited him to the best restaurant in Xuan Mansion and ordered a table of half-cooked food and wine, so the identity of the prisoner he killed was by no means simple.
"Wang Tou is joking, as long as there is no difference between the prisoners who have entered the cell, they all have to look at Wang Tou's face." Liang You flattered from the side.
But I knew in my heart that it would be impossible to save more money and put it in my pocket.
The drunken man sneered and said: "Don't talk about these useless things. As long as the money is in place, there is no one in the cell that I dare not touch. But whoever wants to take advantage of me, then don't blame me for treating him unfairly." polite."
Snapped!
The wine cup in his hand hit the table, and the wine inside splashed everywhere.
"Tian Shenglan." Liang You said a name.
The face of the drunken man changed, and his blurred eyes glowed again. He stood up straight, looked at Liang You and said, "Just pretend that I have never been here today, and Butler Liang has never seen me before. Take your leave." .”
With that said, he turned around and walked out.
"Forty taels." Liang You took out another silver ingot and placed it on the table side by side with the previous silver ingot.
The drunken man stopped, turned around, and said, "This is not a matter of money. Tian Shenglan died in prison just after he was caught. There is no way to explain to the superiors."
"Sixty taels." Liang You took out another ingot of silver and put it on the table.
The drunk man's mouth moved, but he did not move, but said: "Tian Shenglan definitely can't do it, at least not tonight. If Butler Liang is willing to wait a few more days, I can take over this job."
"One hundred taels." Liang You held a cloth bag and poured two ingots of silver from it onto the table.
The drunken man looked hesitant.
I heard Liang You say: "One hundred taels is already a lot. As long as Tian Shenglan dies quietly in prison tonight, and as long as Wang Tou can do it, all the money on the table will belong to you, Wang Tou."
He lightly scratched the silver on the table with his hand.
The man's Adam's apple squirmed with a face full of alcohol.
With such a large amount of money, even if I use part of it to manage it, I would still have fifty or sixty taels left in my hand, which is already a considerable amount of income.
Liang You saw that the prison boss in front of him had moved.
Tian Shenglan had a status in the Xuan Mansion before, and he was a prisoner when he entered the cell. He believed that as long as the prison chief in front of him was willing to take action, he would definitely have a way to deal with Tian Shenglan without leaving any trouble.
The position of prison chief is passed down from generation to generation, just like a craftsman, passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, generation after generation. To be able to secure the position of prison chief, some dark craftsmanship is indispensable.
After all, the drunken man couldn't bear to part with the money in front of him, so he said, "Tian Shenglan hasn't been brought to court yet, and the General Military Mansion is keeping a close eye on her. If Butler Liang is not in a hurry, he can wait a little longer. Once he has passed the court, he will be considered dead." In prison, not many people care."
"After the court, Tian Shenglan is no longer worth the one hundred taels of silver." Liang You picked up an ingot of silver in his right hand and played with it.
The drunken man hesitated for a long time, shook his head and said: "The risk is too great. If you don't do it, you will lose your job. One hundred taels of silver is not enough."
It means to tell Liang You again that more money is needed.
"Since the king is in trouble, let's forget it." Liang You opened the bag with one hand and put the silver on the table into the bag one by one.
"Don't worry, it's not impossible to discuss."
The man who smelled of alcohol rushed to Liang You's side and held down Liang You's hand that was putting money into the bag.
"So you are willing to do this job?" Liang You looked at the other party with a half-smile.
Although it was risky to kill Tian Shenglan before going to court, he believed that the other party would have a way to do it without anyone noticing.
The drunken man looked down at the silver on the table, then at Liang You, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Tian Shenglan's status is extraordinary. You are too hasty. I need to come up with more money." The money is used to manage it, so I will take all the money."
"Now that I have taken out the silver, I naturally have no intention of taking it back." Liang You smiled and took his hand away from the cloth bag containing the silver.
The drunken man was not polite. He reached out and stuffed the last two coins on the table into a cloth bag, and then put the cloth bag into his arms, making them look bulging.
"We'll wait for the news tomorrow!" After saying that, the drunken man walked out of the private room without looking back.
