Mu Qingshan had a bookish habit and wanted to talk to Chen Guanlou. He was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth. Chen Guanlou closed his eyes and rested, "I don't want to hear anything. I have my own ideas about this matter, you do your thing. Go and call Lu Datou." Mu Qingshan paused, shut up decisively, and ordered the jailer to call someone. After a while, Lu Datou came to the office. "Brother Chen, I heard that there was a thief in the Jia-shaped prison. Did you call me here for this matter?" "Has anyone changed their stingy habits after gambling recently, and has anyone suddenly become rich?" Lu Datou scratched his hair, "Let me think, let me think..." "Think slowly. It doesn't matter if you can't think of it, just pay more attention to it later." "It seems that no one has suddenly become rich, and no one has changed their stingy habits. Everyone is normal, and they are still the same as before."
"It's worthy of being a group of bastards trained by me. They all know the principle of not showing off your wealth." Chen Guanlou gritted his teeth. Lu Datou felt guilty for not being able to help. "Do you want me to ask around?" "No need. The little bastard took the money, and he dared not spend it before the matter was settled." Lu Datou asked, "Brother Chen, can you really have it both ways? It was common to take money from outsiders and help with things in the past. Have you changed the rules now?" Chen Guanlou picked up a miscellaneous book and threw it at Lu Datou, "Go and copy the rule book fifty times. How long have I been in office, and I haven't memorized the rule book? Lu Datou, do you want to force me to deal with you in public?" "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you misunderstood. You also know that my brain gets confused when I read. I don't know many words on it. No, no, I'm delayed. Don't worry, I'll recite it when I get back, no, no, no, copy it, copy it fifty times." Lu Datou admitted his mistake decisively, without any hesitation or dissatisfaction. He was submissive from the bottom of his heart. Chen Guanlou snorted coldly and said patiently: "Remember, you can only eat at one house. If you eat at the east house, you can't eat at the other house. If you divide the money, you can't take money from outsiders. Doing business requires a steady stream of income. Similarly, Tianlao also requires a steady stream of income from prisoners. We can't narrow the road. We will build up our credibility and spread our reputation. In the future, when prisoners are sent to Tianlao, they will actively cooperate to pay money, and they will pay it quickly, and we can save a lot of trouble. It's a win-win situation, you are trying to eat both ends, you are courting death!" " I dare not, I dare not! That is not... It is difficult to change the old habits. But don't worry, Brother Chen, from now on I will definitely change my appearance and make a new life. I will never double-cross and never take money from outsiders casually. I know that it is not so easy to take money from outsiders. At the least, you will lose your job, and at the worst, you will lose your life. I am not that stupid. " "You know the severity. Go down, fifty times, not one less. If you don't know how to read, ask Qian Fugui or ask Master Mu for advice. " "Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Datou hurriedly retreated. He thought that the official power of Boss Chen was getting heavier and heavier, and his official airs were getting bigger and bigger. Don't mess with him! Chen Guanlou didn't think he had an official air. He and his brothers still ate from the same pot, and didn't make any special arrangements. But he didn't realize that the jailers below were more and more convinced of him, and at the same time afraid of him. In the past, there were jailers who dared to joke in front of him, but now they have disappeared. Everyone has a correct attitude, officials are officials, and soldiers are soldiers. A day later, Xiao Jin gave a list of suspects, but they were just suspects, and no evidence had been found. Someone from Wu Bantou's side reported the matter. Wu Bantou did not hide it and reported it to Chen Guanlou as soon as possible. "My subordinate Wang Xiaoer said that he saw a jailer under Shi Bantou hiding in a dark alley with a jailer under Xiao Bantou when he came out of the gambling house two days ago. He listened to a few words and mentioned money. I don't know anything else." "Give me the names of these two jailers." Wu Bantou hesitated for a moment, but still reported the names of the two jailers. Chen Guanlou took the names and handed them directly to the torture room, asking the people in the torture room to be responsible for the interrogation. He didn't ask about the specific process, he just wanted the result.
Old Zhang took his job, and he didn't even have to do it. He just sat there, holding the torture instruments in his hands, and said nothing, and he could scare the timid jailers to wet their pants. All the jailers knew about Old Zhang's "great achievements", and some of them had witnessed it with their own eyes. Chen Yucheng invited Old Zhang to handle this case, obviously to be serious. He would never give up until the truth was found. Someone couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up. Once the first person spoke up, there would be a second one. The whole picture of the matter was quickly pieced together. The jailers were all gamblers, so it was really easy to bribe the jailers. Zhang Wu, the jailer under Shi Hong, was an old hand in Tianlao, a figure similar to Lu Datou, who made friends with all kinds of people and had a wide network of contacts. This man was an old gambler. His mother died of illness, his wife was sold by him, and two of his three children were sold, leaving only one child to carry on the family line. If he continued to lose, the only child would also be sold. He was not as lucky as Lu Datou, and did not meet a good brother like Chen Guanlou who was generous and would help in times of need. He owed usury, and the interest was compounded. He was only one step away from being ruined. When he was approached and the money was presented, he agreed to do it without any words of persuasion. He was so obsessed with gambling that he didn't care about the rules and principles of the prison. He only saw money. However, Xu Laosan was imprisoned in Xiao Jin's jurisdiction, and if he ran there rashly, it would easily arouse suspicion. So he won over Wang Si, a jailer under Xiao Jin. The two of them were like-minded and were both gamblers. After a round of collusion, the money was divided 60% and Wang Si got 60%, and the deal was finalized. Zhang Wu was responsible for providing the poison, Wang Si was responsible for poisoning, and then Xu Lao San was poisoned. Fortunately, he was young and strong, so he didn't die. According to Zhang Wu's account, the poison was given by the other party. He didn't know who the other party was, whether he was a member of the Wei family. But he also said that the man had a beard on his face and looked more like a martial artist. He was 100% a martial artist, and his cultivation was not low. Zhang Wu said that he didn't dare to breathe in front of that man, and he spoke carefully. It was like facing Chen Yucheng. There were a total of 300 taels of silver, which Zhang Wu and Wang Si had already divided, and half of it had been spent. After reading the confession, Chen Guanlou rubbed his brows, "It seems that it is necessary to rectify the gambling of jailers." "I'm afraid it won't work!" Old Zhang said while smoking his pipe, "The jailers went to the gambling house to gamble after work. How can you manage this? You can't! Unless the government is willing to shut down the gambling houses on the market. However, those who can open gambling houses have a big backer behind them." As long as the backer doesn't fall, the gambling house can't be closed. Chen Guanlou naturally knew this truth, "If you can't manage the gambling house, you have to manage the jailers under your command. They are all crazy about gambling. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't know that there were people in the Jia-shaped prison who gambled to the point of selling their wives and children, and even angered their mothers to death. What is this, this is a villain!"
