Chapter 265: Indirect Relative Relationship

Chen Guanlou gave Doctor Mu a thumbs up and said, "I sent a batch of goods to the Lord of the Marquis' Mansion before. The Lord was very satisfied and gave me half a pound of tea."

"You drink the tea that the Lord gave you like this?" Doctor Mu was very disgusted, and almost pointed at him and scolded him for squandering natural resources and not knowing how to cherish them at all.

"Tea is meant to be drunk." Chen Guanlou said indifferently.

Doctor Mu clicked his tongue twice, but did not stop talking for a moment, personally pouring tea and tasting it carefully.

Old Zhang did not understand tea, but felt that Chen Guanlou's tea was more fragrant than the tea he usually drank. He did not expect that it was a reward from the Lord. He actually drank the same kind of tea as the Lord.

"The tea in the palace is about the same." He said.

Doctor Mu was savoring the aroma of tea. When he heard what Old Zhang said, he tutted his tongue in disdain, "Old Zhang, we are all benefiting from Chen's help today. Let me tell you, this tea is rare in the palace."

Old Zhang was shocked.

"You mean, the emperor's tea is not as good as Lord Chen's?"

"Don't say that." Chen Guanlou quickly stopped the two people from talking nonsense, especially Doctor Mu.

Doctor Mu didn't care, "There are only three of us here, who would spread it? Old Zhang, can you do it?"

Old Zhang sneered, "I'm crazy."

"I definitely can't do it." Doctor Mu put down the teacup, "To be honest, the emperor is the most difficult person to serve in the world. Logically, the best things must be reserved for the emperor. However, good things are very scarce. If they are gone, and the emperor wants them, what do you say?

Especially tea, the yield and quality are different in years with abundant rain and years with drought. The emperor determined that the original taste, if you can't take it out, it is deceiving the emperor and you will be beheaded. If it were you, would you dare to offer the best, but scarce, and can't guarantee that it can be supplied every year, good tea to the emperor?"

"I understand." Old Zhang picked up the teacup and drank carefully. He could actually drink better tea than the emperor, so he must taste it carefully, and he couldn't drink it like a cow like before.

Chen Guanlou also didn't know much about tea. He was really curious and asked Doctor Mu, "Is it as good as you said?"

Doctor Mu snorted, disdaining the other party's lack of knowledge, "This tea is really wasted in your hands. When the Marquis gave you the tea, didn't he mention the name and origin of the tea?"

"No! I drank a cup of tea in the eldest master's study and thought it tasted good. I said something casually, and the eldest master asked the butler to send half a pound."

"Tsk tsk..." Doctor Mu was disgusted and envious, "The Marquis didn't mention the origin of the tea, probably because you are afraid that you will be burdened. Forget it, I won't bother you. You just need to know that even if the princes and nobles come, you are definitely qualified to take out this tea to entertain them."

"Or, I will sell it to you." Chen Guanlou's roundabout way is simply amazing.

Doctor Mu was so irritated that he coughed repeatedly, waved his hands, and looked at him like a fool, "I can't afford it."

He would be crazy to buy this tea and keep it at home. He couldn't bear to drink it, and he felt itchy when he looked at it. This is not a black tea like Pu'er, which becomes more fragrant as it ages. Tea leaves lose their flavor after being stored for a long time.

Let Chen Guanlou waste it, which is considered to be making the best use of it. At worst, he can go to Tianlao every day to drink tea for free. He doesn't feel bad at all, and he doesn't have to spend money, perfect!

Chen Guanlou was very disappointed, "After listening to your praise, I thought you cherished this tea. But you didn't buy it."

Doctor Mu chuckled. Only fools would spend money to drink free tea.

It took two days for the two prisoners who were transferred from the imperial prison to Tianlao to finally wake up from their coma. Both prisoners had wooden faces, and they seemed numb to the transfer to Tianlao. Their eyes were empty, and they had obviously given up long ago. In addition, they lost their tongues and couldn't speak, so they basically couldn't communicate.

But Chen Guanlou still chatted with the two prisoners for a while, because he knew that the two prisoners' ears were good and they could hear.

He looked down at the two of them and said, "My last name is Chen, everyone calls me Chentou, and I am the manager of this area. I have a general understanding of your situation.

I also tell you clearly that the Jinyiwei transferred you here to save your lives, but you are still prisoners in the imperial prison and are not on the list of Tianlao. I hope you will cooperate with the treatment and don't cause trouble.

If you two really don't want to live, that's fine, I won't stop you. Just make a sound and I guarantee you will be satisfied. Don't guess by yourself and make a bloody mess. Cleaning the cell is very troublesome, and blood stains are the most difficult to clean. In summer, flies fly around and it is very easy to spread epidemics. There are hundreds of prisoners and hundreds of jailers in here, so you must not be careless. If you understand, just nod your head, and I will take it as your agreement."

The two prisoners were numb and slow. When Chen Guanlou thought that the two of them were not giving him face, he finally reacted and nodded slowly.

"That's great!" He smiled with satisfaction, "I heard from the veterans that the injuries on your bodies should be revenge. I don't care what grudges you have encountered. But if you want to do something, such as delivering a message to your family, give enough money and you can be satisfied."

After these words came out, the two people's reactions were swift and fierce. They all raised their heads and looked at him. Their dead eyes suddenly became alive, with the breath of living people.

He said that people are not plants, and they must have something to ask for.

Chen Guanlou waved and called Xiao Jin, "Introduce our service package to these two people. If they have any needs, we will try our best to meet them."

After that, he left the cell.

There was also news from Old Zhang.

The two men were surnamed Meng, brothers, and seemed to have a roundabout relationship with the Marquis' Mansion.

"No nonsense? Are they really related to the Marquis' Mansion in a roundabout way? How could they have fallen to this point? Don't you know how to use some money to settle the matter with the Marquis' Mansion?"

Chen Guanlou couldn't believe it. With the relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, he was reduced to being cut off his tongue and castrated, with no power to resist at all.

"It's said that it's a roundabout relationship. My apprentice is of low status and has limited information. I only know that the Meng family is implicated, and it seems to involve a secret of a wealthy family. I guess the Marquis' Mansion is not easy to interfere."

"Okay, just know the surname, I'll ask someone to find out the rest."

The capital has been busy paying attention to the big things recently, such as the eldest master leading the army to war, the unknown life and death of the Taifu, and the difficult situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I haven't heard anyone talk about the secrets of the rich family. It seems that the news has been blocked.

However, this matter is not difficult for Chen Guanlou.

Where does he live?

He lives in the back alley of the Marquis's mansion. The neighbors around him are either servants of the Marquis's mansion or members of the Chen family.

As soon as he got home, he asked Chunxiang's wife, "Are there any relatives with the surname Meng in the Marquis's mansion? Has anyone with the surname Meng been raided in the capital recently?"
