Fan Jiucheng was promoted as he wished, and made one final touch before leaving. Jailer Fan continued to stay in office and did not go with Jailer Fan. In his words, "I have to guard the prison for my uncle, and I can't let others ruin this place." Pooh! It was obvious that Fan Yucheng looked down upon Fan Yuanli and thought that he was not capable enough and was holding him back. Even members of the same clan are unwilling to support him. Prisoner Fan was terrified and lonely. He was afraid that the new jailer would cause trouble for him. I was uneasy for several days until the new jailer took office. The new jailer's surname is Niu. Niu jailer is from the capital and previously worked in the county government below. I don't know whose path I took, and I was transferred to Tianlao as a jailer. As soon as he arrived, he held a meeting of all jailers and emphasized one point: maintain the status quo! Don't be nervous, everyone. Just do what you have done in the past. All the jailers expressed their support for his statement, and many people felt relieved.
Chen Guanlou believes that everyone is relieved too early. Niu Jiucheng has just arrived and has not figured out the situation yet, so it is certain to maintain the status quo. After the other party figures out the situation clearly, the new official's three fires will surely light up after taking office. He decided to give Niu Jiucheng a generous gift to lay a good foundation. Of course, he cannot give this generous gift alone. It is most appropriate for the four team leaders to pool money together to give the gift. Shi Hong was the first to be unhappy. He spent a lot of money on Fan Yucheng and gave away his cousin before he got the position of class leader. Now that Fan Yucheng has been promoted and left, the capital he invested has just been recovered, and he has only made a small profit. He is also asked to give gifts to the new Niu Yucheng. Ganqing has worked hard for a whole year to make money for the jailer. Then wouldn't it be a big loss for him to be the leader of this team? He might as well go back to being a jailer, at least he wouldn't have to worry as much as he does now. "Hongtou, take a long-term view. Niu Yucheng will not leave until three or two years after he takes office. Isn't three or two years enough for you to make back your capital? On the other hand, Niu Yucheng has just taken office, and you are ignorant and offend him. Do you still want to do it in the next two to three years? If you don’t do it, there will be many people rushing to do it, and there will be no chance.” Wu Bantou's words were rough, but they made sense. He spoke from the bottom of his heart, and he sincerely planned for Shi Hong. Shi Hong was unwilling to give in, but he also knew that if he refused to give gifts out of anger, he would definitely be unlucky in the end. He asked with a straight face, "How much will you give?" The head of the Wu squad looked towards Chen Guanlou, "Tou Chen, how much do you think is appropriate?" "How about fifty taels each?" "It's a little more." Wang Bantou had a pained expression on his face. Unlike Chen Guanlou, who has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, he has a heavy burden. More than a dozen members of the family are counting on him for food, and the children have to study, which costs a lot of money. Quite a lot. He has to be careful with his money. Shi Hong repeatedly echoed, "Fifty taels is too much, why not thirty taels?" He can still bear thirty taels, but he will have to cut off his flesh at fifty taels. Among the four team leaders, Chen Guanlou has no burden and doesn't even have a family. Coupled with the antique calligraphy and painting business, he is not short of money. It's not that the other three team leaders have never thought about selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but they have no background, no connections, and are afraid of being in trouble. When the calligraphy and painting worth one thousand taels was put on the market, the antique shop directly quoted the price of ten taels, without even any room for counter-offering. It really made me vomit blood. Moreover, the backers behind the antique shop are all big shots that the little jailer cannot afford to offend. They are destined to be unable to do this lucrative business. Fortunately, Chen Guanlou knows well that he cannot eat alone. Every time he makes a business, he will get a little profit. In this way, the three squad leaders were also willing to introduce the prisoners in their jurisdiction to Chen Guanlou, just for a share of the profit. However, such transactions are rare after all, and not every prisoner is desperate enough to sell precious antique calligraphy and paintings at home. It is common for a store to be unable to open for a month or two. Chen Guanlou tapped the table lightly, "I've done some research on this Niu Prisoner. He used to work in the execution room of the county government below, and he knows a lot about the inside story of the prison. If you give less, you won't be able to please the other party. You don’t want to offend anyone. Since you want to make friends with Niu Yucheng, what do you think?”
Team leader Wang frowned and smoked the cigarette so hard that the smell of cigarette smoke could not be dissipated in the room. Wu Bantou looked relaxed and seemed unconcerned. He is good at business. In addition to the income from Tianlao, he also has other businesses outside. Fifty taels is not a burden. Shi Hong had a pained expression on his face, obviously unhappy. Chen Guanlou increased his strength and knocked on the table, instantly attracting the attention of the three people. "If everyone has no objections, it's settled. Pay the money tomorrow and everyone will go to see Niu Yucheng together. In addition, I am in Guanmei We will wait for a table at the floor and invite two singers." "Then it's more than fifty taels." Shi Hong said first, "Should we go to Zuixiang Tower and order a first-class lady? It would be at least ten taels. If you want to stay overnight, you'll have to pay extra." This account cannot bear careful calculation. Every time he counted it, he would feel heartache. "Hongtou, the pattern, the pattern is bigger. Don't just focus on the small profits in front of you, but take a long-term view." Chen Guanlou said. The corner of Shi Hong's mouth twitched and he snorted, but did not refute. Wu Bantou laughed and said, "If Hongtou is not convenient, I can lend it to you. The interest will be cheaper for you, how about it?" "Thank you for your kindness, Wu Bantou, but I won't charge you any interest!" Shi Hong looked indifferent. If he really wanted to borrow money, he would rather go to Chen Guanlou, because at least they don't charge interest. But Wu Bantou is so ruthless that he even charges interest for his colleagues' short-term loans. No wonder no one likes him when he does this. Wang Bantou sighed, "What Chentou said makes sense. If you give too little money, you will not only be despised, but you will also offend people and waste money. You might as well give more to please them. Whether it's Guanmeilou or Zuixianglou, according to the rules, everyone will share the cost. I hope to get a big fish as soon as possible to make up for the shortfall this time." "It's better to blackmail Liu Daowen again." Shi Hong was ruthless. But he was unanimously opposed by the other three people present. "The prison has its own rules. We can't break them." "No one does it this way. If you break the rules, be careful of retaliation." "Hongtou, don't just grab one sheep and pull it. There are so many prisoners in the prison, and there are more prisoners behind. You need to look far ahead and have a pattern." "It's easy to extort money from Liu Daowen, but it's hard to deal with the aftermath. What if Niu Yucheng is a little bit more evil and asks us to hand over another 5,000 taels? Where can we get the money? Although Liu Daowen is a prisoner, don't forget that Jiang Tu is behind him. It won't be harder for Jiang Tu to kill us than to crush an ant. Yu Zhaoan is such a powerful person, but he was still calculated by Jiang Tu." Everyone talked about it, and Shi Hong's face turned blue and purple, and then purple and white. He made a fool of himself again and was laughed at by his colleagues. The average IQ of the four squad leaders was lowered by him. It's embarrassing!
