Xu Fugui seemed to understand, and looked at Fan Yucheng eagerly, hoping that the other party would give more hints. At worst, I'll give him a sum of money to show my filial piety to the man named Fan. Fan Jiucheng looked at the confused Xu Fugui, snorted coldly, and said with great disgust: "Shilang Sun is so focused on investigating the case that he has no time to ask about Tianlao's affairs. However, his lack of questioning does not prevent him from making casual remarks at critical moments. . If Mr. Wu loses face, what will happen to you?" It’s not getting better! It’s definitely not going to get better! Shangguan's face is God's and must be firmly maintained. Xu Fugui realized this time, "I and other lowly people have made mistakes and deserve to be punished. I wanted to go to Master Wu to plead guilty in person, but I was afraid of staining Master Wu's eyes. I still need Master Fan's help in this matter. I am grateful. Not enough.” Xu Fugui's idea is very simple. There is no official who doesn't love money. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a big problem. If your life is saved, you will still have money. The prison is never empty, and the jailer is never empty. Money means nothing in front of life. Fan Jiucheng was very satisfied with Xu Fugui's knowledge, but he still kept a straight face and just hummed. Xu Fugui had no choice but to shamelessly avoid others and promised a number. Fan Jiucheng finally nodded with satisfaction and told Xu Fugui to hurry up.
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. You'd better be mentally prepared." "My lord, what you mean is..." "Someone has to take the blame." A name suddenly popped up in Xu Fugui's mind, Zhang Wantong! Zhang Wantong relied on his seniority and never gave him face. This time the other party committed an offense, he certainly had no reason to protect Zhang Wantong. He immediately expressed his understanding, "I will hand in the list as soon as possible." "So good!" Fan Yucheng left. Xu Fugui sat on the throne and began to reprimand the jailers. "Gathering a crowd to gamble and being lazy when absent from work is not a big deal in normal times. It can be over with a few words of instruction. But this time, you are unlucky, and you hit the muzzle of the gun. You are unlucky, and I will suffer too. Don't I hope the superiors will let me go. You all heard what Fan Yucheng said just now. You can collect fifty taels of silver per person in two days. Also, the money is only used to save your lives. Can you keep your job as a jailer? I said it doesn’t count.” "Fifty taels, it's going to kill us!" "Is it too much? If it's too much, you don't have to pay it. You'll be responsible for the consequences." "Can't you send money?" "If you fight, you know how to pay. After I pay you, I will wipe your butts. When your salary is paid next month, will you pay for it yourself? Do you still want to eat? Do you know that there has been no allocation for half a year? Don't expect it. Just give me the money." All the jailers were wailing in their hearts. Fifty taels of silver, collected within two days, was simply life-threatening. As soon as Xu Fugui left, everyone began to complain, complaining about their bad luck in falling into Sun Daoning's hands. Although everyone resented Sun Daoning, no one dared to complain openly. I'm afraid that there are two or five young people among them who will secretly report and bring trouble to themselves. Big Lu's face turned green. He lost miserably tonight. Not only did he lose all the money he borrowed, he also incurred gambling debts. He is a famous gambler, and all his relatives and friends have been borrowed from him. At the moment, he only thinks about Chen Guanlou.
"Xiao Chen, you must help me this time! I really have no choice. Who would have thought that people are so unlucky that even drinking cold water can clog their teeth. Just keep this job for two months at most, and I will pay you back." Chen Guanlou smiled bitterly again and again, "Brother Big Tou, it's not that I don't want to help you, and it's not that you don't understand my situation. I have only been in Tianlao for more than half a year. I save all the money every month, but I can't even afford two Fifty taels of silver. The most I can lend you is five taels of silver, so don’t be too short.” Lu Datou was very disappointed. After thinking about it, I now have five taels of silver, which at least solves one-tenth of the funds. "Good brother, I remember this kindness. Just give me the money now, and I will find a way to get some money from other places." Chen Guanlou excused himself that he didn't have the money and could only give it to him tomorrow. After Lu Datou heard this, he reminded him that he must bring money tomorrow. Then he hurried to the cell, apparently intending to find a way to make money from the prisoners. The other gamblers and Lu Datou have the same moral character, and they all set their sights on the prisoner. They will go out together tonight to extort money and provide benefits. Chen Guanlou hid in the duty room and slept. For the first time, the hotel room was so quiet and deserted. In two days, each jailer handed over fifty taels. The jailers in the prisons with the size of A and B were also unlucky and paid the money accordingly. For a time, everyone in Tianlao was full of resentment, and many people were secretly cursing Sun Daoning, cursing him for giving birth to a son without an asshole. He stayed up late in the middle of the night and went to the jail to investigate cases. He was also nosy and had a sick mind. However, things are far from over. A few days after the money was handed over, the real crisis came. The first person to be taken down was Zhang Wantong. Fan Jiucheng gave him two choices, either to surrender and work as a handyman, or to get out of the prison. Zhang Wantong was used to being domineering and enjoying himself, so he could not accept being a handyman under any circumstances. What do handymen do? They are cleaners, emptying toilets and carrying corpses. He, Zhang Wantong, is also a number one person, so he may not have anywhere to hang out after leaving Tianlao. Therefore, he decisively chose to leave Tianlao. Five of Zhang Wantong's most loyal disciples chose to follow him out of the prison and go out to work. Only one person chose to stay. Fan Yucheng took special care of the jailer who chose to betray Zhang Wantong, and did not let him do menial work, but still served as a jailer. With the departure of Zhang Wantong, the C-shaped prison was cleaned up and replaced with a new group of faces. At the same time, a group of jailers in the A-shaped room and the B-shaped room were also replaced. On this day, Chen Guanlou was called to the office. This was his second time to the office, the last time was on the first day of reporting. At that time, it was still Jiang Yucheng. Fan Yucheng's attitude seemed very friendly. "Xiao Chen, since you came to Tianlao, you have always performed very well. You have never been late or left early, and you have never been absent from work. On the night of Sun Shilang's surprise attack, you were the only one who was on duty and performed your duties faithfully. At least you saved the face of Tianlao and prevented the whole army from being wiped out." "I don't deserve your praise, sir. I just do my duty." "Your greatest advantage is that you do your duty. You are worthy of being a member of the Chen family. You are different from those old-timers. I heard that you have studied?"
"Reporting to the sir, I have studied for a few years, but it's a pity that I didn't finish it." Fan Yucheng felt the same way. , "I have also studied for many years, but I have never succeeded. The imperial examination is a difficult one! There are so many scholars in the world, but how many can enter the imperial examination? However, scholars of our generation have lofty ambitions. Even if we cannot pass the imperial examination, we must not lose our ambitions." "I will remember your teachings in my heart." "You are very good!" Fan Yucheng praised Chen Guanlou again, "Although you have to work as a jailer, you still stick to the integrity of a scholar and do not go along with other jailers. I am very satisfied." "It's all right." Chen Guanlou remained humble and low-key as usual. Fan Yucheng laughed, seeming to be very satisfied with his performance. After saying so many preludes, it was finally time to serve the meat dishes. "There is a gap in the size of the A-shaped room. Considering that the A-shaped room needs people who can read and write, I plan to transfer you to the A-shaped room to work." Ah? Chen Guanlou was stunned!
