Before entering the door, Xu Fugui had already sorted out his mood and expression. The moment he stepped into the door, a flattering look was already revealed on his face. "I greet you, sir!" Chen Guanlou raised his hand lightly, indicating that the other party did not need to be polite and sat down to talk. "It's so cold." "Yes, yes. I heard that many people froze to death last night. The weather this year is also very strange. In one night, we went from autumn to winter. I didn't even have time to put on my cotton clothes. I almost froze to death." "Xu, the jailer, is joking. No one can freeze to death. Speaking of freezing to death, only your C-shaped prison has exceeded the death toll among the three prisons. What's going on? I asked you to make corrections last year, but you ignored it?" "Sir, I am wronged! You know that according to the rules, prisoners in C-shaped prisons must go to the torture room. Nine out of ten prisoners have injuries. The weather suddenly cooled down, and they were injured. No matter how capable I am, I can't cook without rice. I can save the disease but not the life!" Xu Fugui was secretly relieved at this moment. At first, he thought that Chen Guanlou wanted to talk to him because of the error in the account book and wanted to dig up his old accounts, which made him nervous.
When he heard that it was about the death of a prisoner due to freezing, he thought, this is a simple matter, and it can be easily dealt with. "Stop talking nonsense. I know whether the prisoner died of freezing or died of serious injuries. Two months ago, do you want me to send someone to the warehouse to count the number of cotton quilts and cotton clothes that were allocated? Xu Fugui, Xu Fugui, you are greedy for such worthless things, are you really that greedy? Are you crazy because of poverty?" Xu Fugui felt guilty instantly, shrank his neck, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly yelled and cried, "My lord, my life is hard! A whole family depends on me for support. The grain shop I opened originally relied on Tianlao for food. The logistics gang The man was so cruel that the price was impossible to negotiate. He was squeezed by the big merchants and his business had closed down long ago. He even lost a lot of money after the settlement. The wife was incompetent, the children were uneducated, and the sons were all losers. None of them was good. Sir, I was really forced to do this. It's embarrassing to talk about it. I was embezzling even a little rag and rag. It brought shame to you and the Tianlao. Sir, please punish me, punish me severely. I don't want to be the head of that family anymore. Let the woman who is a loving mother but a spoiled son be the head of the family. " This was a howl. Chen Guanlou picked his ears and they were calloused. The most common thing the Tianlao heard was all kinds of complaints. Everyone had their own sufferings and difficulties. Some were true and some were false. It was true and false, and it was all because of the iron heart and the black heart that they didn't fall for it. He snorted coldly, "No money to support the family, but money to gamble! Xu Fugui, don't think that no one knows what you did last night. Tell me, how much did you lose in one night? Did you lose all the bonus from last month?" Xu Fugui:... He opened his mouth, unable to refute. Chen Yucheng was really well-informed. If he lost money, the people next door would know it in a blink of an eye. He hesitated for a moment, "Last night, I was itching to do it, and I lost too much by accident. But don't worry, sir, I have learned my lesson and will never dare to do it again next time." Chen Guanlou didn't believe a word of it. If the words of gamblers can be believed, sows can climb trees. "I don't care about your private affairs. If you dare to cause trouble outside, I will deal with you. How much cotton clothes and quilts in the C-shaped prison did you embezzle? Pay with your own money. If more people freeze to death in the future and the number exceeds the limit, I think your time as a prison guard is over." Xu Fugui exclaimed. I didn't expect this to be the solution, asking him to pay for the cotton-padded clothes and quilts himself. "What? Get out of here! You don't want to get out, right? Then let Qian Fugui bring the account book and settle it one by one." "I'll get out now, I'll get out now."
"Before the end of the year, you'd better make up for the deficit in the account book. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you will still be a prison guard next year." Xu Fugui staggered and almost fell to the ground when he stepped over the threshold. He was scared by the last sentence. It would cost his life to make up for the deficit in the account book! This time he really couldn't gamble. He had to find a way to beg for alms. In the middle of winter, the officials of the Ministry of Justice didn't hide in the room to warm themselves by the fire and drink tea. They actually ignored the severe cold and ran to the Tianlao with the coroner to examine the body. When Chen Guanlou learned that there was a coroner accompanying him, his mind was pounding. He couldn't let him take a break. He asked the jailer to notify Lao Zhang and others to do delicate work and get away with it. When the officials from the Ministry of Justice arrived, Chen Guanlou served them hot tea and snacks and asked Mu Qingshan to accompany them. They were all scholars and liked romantic places, so they had a lot to talk about. His order to Mu Qingshan was, "Serve him comfortably. It's related to your uncle's future. If you don't pay attention, no one will." "How do you mean comfortable?" Chen Guanlou said sternly, "Even if he asks you to take off your pants, you have to take them off!" Mu Qingshan suddenly covered his crotch, then his buttocks, and then realized that this action was extremely indecent. "Dong Weng, you are really too vulgar!" He strongly condemned. Knowing that he couldn't take a joke, he still joked with him. Playing with people! Chen Guanlou laughed, "You think it's vulgar? The prison is even more vulgar. Do you want to go in and experience it? It's not easy for your uncle to maintain the Mu family clinic at such an old age. If you don't share his worries, who will? Think about it carefully. Hurry up and serve him. You must serve him comfortably. At least delay for more than an hour. Even if you hold him and eat, you have to delay for a long time." He was too lazy to deal with the officials of the Ministry of Justice, so he handed the task to Mu Qingshan and Chen Quan to accompany him. Chen Quan has been very motivated in the past two years. After becoming a prison guard, he did not forget to read. Now his handwriting is barely presentable. He can also write ordinary official documents independently. Mu Qingshan is responsible for elegance! Chen Quan is responsible for vulgarity! A romantic place is both elegant and vulgar. Only when both the elegant and the vulgar appreciate it can you have fun. For this reason, Chen Guanlou made an exception and asked someone to send wine and water in, and also prepared a table of wine and food. Otherwise, how could three grown men talk for an hour just holding tea cups and talking? Do you really think everyone is an amateur! He endured the discomfort and came to the outside of the morgue. Fortunately, it was winter and the smell was within the tolerable range. Through the door, he asked: "How is the situation? Can it be handled? I bought you an hour, everyone work harder." Doctor Mu wore a mask and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, sir, one hour is enough. I guarantee that we can fool it." "It's okay if we can fool it! Look at what you did. You didn't even choose a good day to test the medicine. You didn't even ask the people in the Imperial Observatory about the weather in advance." Chen Guanlou complained repeatedly and hurriedly retreated. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it will ruin his Feng Shui. It's broken!
He was infected with the bad habits of the previous prison officials and began to believe in Feng Shui!
