Niu Yucheng officially resigned and took his confidant Xiao Xu to Jingzhao Prefecture to work. The new Yucheng has not yet taken office. According to gossip, even the candidate has not been decided. Too many people are eyeing this position. It is truly a low position with a lot of money. Everyone wants to get involved and arrange their own people to replace Niu Yucheng. The competition among multiple parties has caused a stalemate. As a result, a rare power vacuum has appeared in Tianlao. Fortunately, everyone has adapted to the days when the Yucheng is not there, and no one will get close to the Yucheng on weekdays. The work is fixed, and the content is the same every day. There will definitely be no mistakes if you follow the routine. In the Jia-shaped prison, if Xiao Fan does not appear, Chen Guanlou is the only one who has the final say. As long as he is there, the jailers are like taking a reassurance pill. Those who should patrol the prison patrol the prison, those who should slack off, and those who should gamble continue to gamble. There is no change in daily life. That is, everyone has been a little frugal recently, and they gamble less. The new warden is about to take office, and everyone has to save money to honor him, and dare not play freely. Today, Tianlao welcomed a rare guest. Zhao Mingqiao's teacher, Lu Mingchuan. This is the first time Lu Mingchuan has come to Tianlao to visit his student Zhao Mingqiao, and it is today, nearly a year after Zhao Mingqiao was imprisoned. He came suddenly and strangely.
He suddenly appeared at the gate of Tianlao, without sending anyone to notify or arrange in advance. He brought an old servant with him, and even rented a carriage, but he wore the extremely expensive Jiangnan fine cotton clothes on the market, which were both comfortable and not conspicuous. The rich clothes and the shabby rented carriage were very contradictory and unharmonious. Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes and welcomed this famous scholar, looking at him carefully and evaluating him calmly. It must be admitted that although Yu Zhaoan has a foul mouth, he is very accurate in judging people. Chen Guanlou was very sure that he did not like Lu Mingchuan. This person came suddenly, and he was definitely not thinking about the friendship between teacher and student. If you really want to remember, why didn't he come to visit Zhao Mingqiao when he was first imprisoned, and why didn't he pay for it. Even if he was busy and had no time, he could send someone as a representative to appease the anxious students. However, he did nothing, as if Zhao Mingqiao had never existed. Until today, a year later, he suddenly appeared outside the prison. "Mr. Lu, please go to the office to have a cup of tea first. At present, the position of prison warden is vacant. I hope you will forgive me for the poor reception." "You're welcome! I came here today just to visit my student Zhao Mingqiao. Forget about the socializing." "Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. The prison is dark and damp, and you have to take care of your health!" Chen Guanlou half-forced Lu Mingchuan into the office, took out the high-quality tea used by the prison to entertain foreign guests, brewed a pot of tea, and held the teacup with both hands and placed it next to the other party. "Sir, how come you have time to see Lord Zhao today? What happened?" "Nothing, nothing. I have gained something recently, so I want to discuss it with Mingqiao. He is very knowledgeable and has learned a lot. Alas, it's a pity that I am incompetent, causing him to be imprisoned and unable to escape." "Sir, you are too kind. Everyone knows that you are obsessed with learning, and things in officialdom are different from learning after all." "I didn't expect that Chen the jailer would have such insight." "I am also a person who eats public food, and I have also encountered times when I can't help myself. Have tea, have tea!" Chen Guanlou greeted enthusiastically, trying to find out the other party's real intention through chatting. However, Lu Mingchuan was obviously an old fox. No matter how he asked, he refused to reveal the truth. He insisted that he was here to exchange knowledge. One cup of tea after another, Chen Guanlou had no choice but to let Xiao Jin take people down to the prison first and take them to see Zhao Mingqiao. "Send someone to guard, and write down everything you say." "Okay!" Xiao Jin understood. Zhao Mingqiao was so excited to see his teacher in the prison that his eyes were red and his true feelings were revealed.
Lu Mingchuan was concerned and chatted at the same time. Chen Guanlou was sitting in the office drinking tea, holding a vernacular novel in his hand, reading it with relish. As a prison guard, he had more social events, but less specific work content. Whenever there was something, he would give an order and someone would take care of it. He only needed to grasp the general direction, such as personnel and money. Just when he was excited, the jailer came to report in a hurry, "Mr. Chen, it's not good, that..." "Speak slowly, don't be anxious, the sky won't fall." "Mr. Lu suddenly fell to the ground and fell ill." "What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him, why did he suddenly fall ill?" Chen Guanlou asked three questions in a row, and the jailer was confused and didn't know anything. Chen Guanlou ordered the jailer, "Go and get the doctor quickly. I'll go down and take a look." He went straight down to the prison. A circle of people had already gathered in front of Zhao Mingqiao's prison door. Zhao Mingqiao even yelled, "Hurry up and save my teacher, hurry up and save my teacher, don't just stand there, hurry up and save him!" "What throat!" Just when everyone was at a loss, Chen Guanlou shouted angrily, and Zhao Mingqiao was stunned, "No one here knows medical skills. Mr. Lu suddenly got sick, and I don't know the specific situation. If we move him rashly, what if it worsens the condition? Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to get the doctor, and he will be here soon. Everyone, spread out and bring a cup of hot water." As soon as he appeared, the jailers felt a backbone and got busy in an orderly manner. Xiao Jin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a bit at a loss when he encountered such a thing when he just took office as the head of the class. The key is that the other party's identity is not ordinary. He is a well-known scholar in the world. If he dies in the prison, he really has no way to defend himself. Chen Guanlou squatted down, trying to check Xiao Jin's pulse, and asked, "What's going on?" Xiao Jin glanced at Zhao Mingqiao and said, "While the two were talking, Mr. Lu suddenly fell down with his hands on his chest." Chen Guanlou looked at Zhao Mingqiao again, "Is that the case?" Zhao Mingqiao nodded repeatedly, "Chen, Mr. Chen, please save my teacher quickly, don't let anything happen to him. It must be because the environment in the prison is so filthy that the teacher can't stand it, so he got sick." "Do you know what disease Mr. Lu has?" "It seems that his heart is not in good condition." Chen Guanlou made a prompt decision, "Go get a stretcher and carry the person out. The air here is not circulating, and it is too cold, which is not good for patients. Go call the old servant and ask him to go back to the Lu family to notify them and arrange a carriage to pick him up." Xiao Jin took the orders one by one and arranged the jailer to do his job. After Mr. Lu was transferred to the office, Doctor Mu came with a medicine box and gave him acupuncture and medication. While he was busy, Xiao Jin brought Lu Mingchuan's old servant to him. "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to arrange for him to go back to the Lu family to call for help?" Xiao Jin was embarrassed, "Boss, ask him." After saying that, he pouted in the direction of the old servant, looking like he didn't want to say anything and didn't know how to say it. Chen Guanlou frowned and came to the old servant, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go back to the Lu family to call for help? Mr. Lu is seriously ill, and the sky prison is full of yin energy. This is not a place to stay for a long time." The old servant looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to go back to call for help, but there's no one at home." "What the hell?" Chen Guanlou almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
