The long-vacant position of the prison warden finally has a result. The new prison warden is named Lei, in his early 40s. He stood out among many candidates, it is said that his aunt was the wet nurse of a wealthy family, and his cousin was the concubine of the wealthy family. The wealthy family had a say in the Ministry of Justice, and ordered his servants to make some arrangements, and the lucrative position of prison warden fell on Lei. Before Lei Yucheng officially took office, the capable people in Tianlao had already inquired about his origins and past experiences. "...He was a scoundrel in his early years. Later, he relied on his aunt's relationship to hang around in a wealthy family. He was a man who was both good at fighting and smart. He was gradually reused and became a farm manager. During this period, he committed several crimes, but they were all settled. Later, he hung around in the government office, became a constable, and worked as a clerk, doing a lot of dirty work. Originally, the job of the prison warden was not his, but a guy named Huang. Unfortunately, the guy named Huang had a bad habit, gambling. Before the list was announced, he caused a lawsuit in a gambling house. Everyone suspected that Huang was plotted against, but there was no evidence." "The position of the prison warden of Tianlao is very lucrative. Rich, countless people are thinking about it. Huang's own misconduct gave others the opportunity to set up a trap, so he can't blame anyone. " "As far as I know, the guy surnamed Lei didn't think of competing for the position of prison secretary at first. But the big family behind him hopes that he will come out to compete." "Can a big family still look down on the job of prison secretary?" "Why not? At least a few thousand taels of income a year, how can you not be precious? Even a big family would not regard a few thousand taels as dirt."
"Money is a small matter, the key is that Tianlao holds many criminals. These criminals are worthy of the big families' attention." When this was said, everyone looked at Chen Guanlou. He was the prison guard of the Jia-shaped prison. Hehe, when Lei Yucheng took office, he would definitely focus on the Jia-shaped prison. Many people had the idea of gloating. "Lei is also from the bottom of the society. He is very cruel and ruthless. He is not like Lord Fan who has studied, nor like Niu Yucheng who is an old official who knows the rules. Lei is probably not a rule-abiding person." This was actually said to Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou looked calm, "Let's discuss how we should receive Lei Yucheng when he officially takes office tomorrow." "Of course it's the old rules. Does Chen Yuli have new ideas?" "I don't have any new ideas. I just want to know if Lei Yucheng has a big appetite." "We'll know whether it's big or not after testing it. Chen Yuli, you are a scholar, why don't you take the lead. We are a bunch of rough people, and it's easy to say the wrong thing and offend people." "Okay!" Chen Guanlou did not refuse. Among the three prisons, the A-shaped prisons have the highest income. No matter who takes office as the prison chief, they will keep a close eye on the A-shaped prisons. As a prison guard of the Jiazi Prison, he had no choice but to take the lead, weigh the weight of Lei Yucheng, and find a balance between getting along. As for Lord Xiao Fan, Chen Guanlou sent someone to inform him. Lord Xiao Fan was busy with the restaurant business and made it clear that he would handle all matters of Jiazi Prison. As for welcoming the new Lei Yucheng, he would definitely come forward and would definitely offer a gift. But he didn't want to deal with Lei Yucheng, and hoped that Chen Guanlou could get him out no matter what. Just as agreed at the beginning, he only occupied a position and took his share of the money according to the position. No one asked about other things. Early the next morning, everyone changed into a clean uniform and stood in the yard in high spirits to prepare for welcoming Lei Yucheng. The sun was shining, but Lei Yucheng did not show up on time. Everyone couldn't help but talk about it. Xu Fugui whispered in Chen Guanlou's ear, "Do you think Lei was late on purpose to show us his power, or is there something else going on?" Chen Guanlou said, "Tomorrow, a group of prisoners will be sent over from the Ministry of Justice. In any case, Lei Yucheng will take office today. Unless he doesn't want to be the prison chief today." "If he doesn't want to be, there are many people who are willing to do so. If the higher-ups like me, I would love to be the prison chief." Xu Fugui smiled and looked very proud.
Xu Fugui has had a good relationship with the logistics people in the past two years. His grain and oil business has successfully entered the logistics department. Although he didn't take over everything, with the size of the Tianlao, even if it was only a part of the business, it was enough to feed him. Due to the booming business, he became more and more plump, and his belly became more and more muscular, looking like he was six or seven months pregnant. His chin was almost gone, his mandible had disappeared, and his whole face was surrounded by greasy fat, a proper middle-aged greasy man. "I heard that Xu the jailer has just got a concubine. When will we invite her for a drink?" Chen Guanlou chatted casually. Xu Fugui looked proud, "A country girl, she doesn't know anything except being young and fresh. Let's train her first. When she learns the rules, I will invite everyone for a drink and let her come out to meet you." "That would be great!" Chen Guanlou agreed with a smile. "Xiao Chen, you are not young anymore, have you ever thought about getting married? Could it be that you don't like those mediocre women? What kind of woman do you want to find? Tell your uncle and I will be your matchmaker." "Don't worry about it, Xu the jailer." Chen Guanlou refused, and Xu Fugui's face changed slightly, very dissatisfied. "She used to call me uncle, but now that her status is different, she doesn't even want to call me uncle. People's hearts are really not the same as they used to be." Chen Guanlou sneered, "We are both prison guards, and it's working hours. If I call you uncle, do you have the nerve to respond? Xu the prison guard wants to mix public and private, but I can't do that. We should still keep public and private. I accept your kindness, and please give me some face. Mutual respect and harmony are better than anything else. If you don't want to give me face and insist on acting like an uncle, hum..." "What do you want?" Xu Fugui felt very embarrassed, but he didn't have the courage to turn against him on the spot, so he could only lower his voice and ask, hoping that Chen Guanlou would bow his head first. Chen Guanlou was about to reply to him, at this time, the prison guard who inquired about the movement reported that Lei Yucheng had arrived. So, in an instant, everyone moved and came to the gate to greet him. Lei Yucheng was surprised to find that he was a middle-aged gentle and handsome man, which was really mismatched with his resume. On second thought, this guy could be reused and supported by a wealthy family. In addition to being smart, he should have a pleasing face. If he is ugly, I think the rich will not be willing to promote him. Even the officials in the court have to look at their faces, and the rich are certainly no exception. For example, there is no ugly person in the Marquis's Mansion, at least they have regular features. "Greetings, Lord Prison Chief?" Led by the prison guards, everyone bowed and saluted, welcoming the new Prison Chief in unison. The etiquette was sufficient, the scene was grand enough, and it gave enough face.
