"At the beginning, Zhao Tou promised to bring people in, but he hasn't brought them in yet."

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Guanlou felt that there must be something wrong with his ears.

What the hell.

Bringing people into the prison?

The former Zhao Tou was so bold.

"Why do you ask when you know the answer?"

"Bring who?"

"My housekeeper. The incident happened suddenly, and I went directly from the government office to the prison. There were many chores at home and I didn't have time to explain them. Please, Chen Tou, please do me a favor and bring my housekeeper to see me. Don't worry, as long as I see the person, I will pay him the full amount of money."

"Ridiculous!"

Chen Guanlou was amazed at the work style of the A-shaped prison.

If anyone in the C-shaped prison dares to make a similar request, he will break his legs.

"Do you think the prison is your backyard? Why did you bring someone to meet me?"

"Are you going to regret it, Mr. Chen?"

"This is the fault of the previous president. If you have the ability, ask Mr. Zhao to do it for you."

"Are you not afraid of being held accountable by the prison guards? You haven't completed my order yet." Lord Jin looked at him with a smile.

Chen Guanlou cursed silently.

"Just wait!"

After saying this, he turned around and left.

He found Chen Quan and the other four and started to scold them on the spot, "What on earth are you doing? This is the Tianlao, and you actually agreed to help bring people in to meet the prisoners. Do the higher-ups know you're doing this?"

"What you don't know, Chen, the higher-ups have always known about it and have always turned a blind eye. As long as nothing goes wrong, the higher-ups won't pursue it."

"What if something goes wrong? What if a prisoner commits suicide? Can you afford the consequences?"

"But, for so many years, the situation that Chen has worried about has not occurred."

"Those officials cherish their lives more than anyone else. They won't commit suicide."

Hearing this, Chen Guanlou sneered, "As far as I know, this year, three officials have committed suicide in the Jia-shaped prison."

"Those three officials knew they couldn't escape death, so they were released early."

"Is this your excuse?"

"Sometimes the higher-ups are also happy for these prisoners to die quietly in the Tianlao."

Chen Guanlou:...

He really has too little experience.

He forgot the tradition of being forced to commit suicide.

The prisoner knows too much, the case is urgent, and there is no possibility of overturning the verdict, so he might as well "commit suicide"!

It seems that bringing people in to see the prisoner is already a tradition of the A-shaped prison. The reason why no one pursues it is because the officials also have this need. They need to send people into the prison to explain some things, solve some things, and deal with some people.

"Do other squad leaders do this?"

The four jailers nodded in unison.

"If Chentou doesn't believe it, you can ask someone."

"Wan Jailer knows all these things. Fan Yucheng should also know. The chief official shares the silver and occasionally helps to cover up, so he must know about it."

"This is already a tradition of the A-shaped prison. Chentou worked in the C-shaped prison before, and he is not aware of the situation here."

"There are some rules in the A-shaped prison, and the A-shaped jailers all default not to reveal it."

Chen Guanlou slapped the table and pondered this matter in his heart.

"What did the man surnamed Jin do?"

"It seems to be corruption."

"A conspiracy?"

"Not sure."

"Qian Fugui, go and tell the man surnamed Jin that the price has increased. If he pays the full 500 taels, I will agree to it."

Qian Fugui hesitated, "Chentou, this is not appropriate. Shouldn't we keep our word?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, "Why should we keep our word with the prisoner? Besides, 600 taels is the price of Zhaotou. Now I, Chen Guanlou, am in charge, so my price is 800 taels. I acknowledge the 300 taels he paid before, which is already very respectful."

Qian Fugui wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Jin winked at him frequently and kicked him again. Only then did he realize it and left.

Chen Guanlou stared at the remaining three people, "In the future, any tradition involving the Jia-shaped prison must be made clear in advance. I don't want to encounter a situation like today again. Also, please remember that I am your leader."

The three people looked at each other and finally said yes in unison.

Lord Jin was very happy. As long as we bring his housekeeper, he will immediately cash out 500 taels.

Chen Guanlou muttered, "These officials are still rich. The man surnamed Jin works in the Ministry of Works. I don't know how many construction jobs he has done. I'm afraid the silver in his house has already filled up the cellar. We help him spend some of it, which is also a good deed. In the future, if his house is searched, he will be charged with a huge crime of corruption."

"Chentou is still insightful. Taking the money of these criminal officials is to help them get rid of disasters. It's a great merit!"

Chen Guanlou glanced at Xiao Jin, who was flattering him awkwardly, and was still a little uncomfortable.

He was just a small squad leader, and in a blink of an eye, he had money, younger brothers, and people flattering him. The ups and downs of this status and treatment are really a bit big.

Yesterday he was still a younger brother in the C-shaped prison, and today he became the leader.

Seeing Chen Guanlou staring at him, Xiao Jin was a little confused and asked cautiously, "Boss Chen, do you have any other instructions?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head.

Xiao Jin immediately said, "Boss Chen, the four of us have discussed and are going to prepare a table at Guanmeilou tonight. Please honor us with your presence."

Chen Guanlou wanted to refuse. He had just had a drink at Guanmeilou last night and didn't want to drink today. But he changed his mind and thought that this was a gift from the people below. If he didn't go, the four people would think about it and might do something weird.

Forget it!

"Okay! Let's have a drink at Guanmeilou tonight. I'll treat you."

"How can we let Chentou spend money? We treat you. Chentou, please don't be polite to us."

Xiao Jin got a positive answer and left happily.

Chen Guanlou returned to the duty room and met with other squad leaders and jailers. Everyone's attitude was cold and warm, depending on each person's personality.

He was a newcomer, and he was promoted to squad leader in a blink of an eye. This made the other jailers very dissatisfied and complained. With the departure of Zhaotou, the jailers in the Jia-shaped prisons, especially the veteran jailers, were all eager to make a move. Some ran for connections, some spent money, just thinking about taking Zhaotou's position.

Squad leader is a very popular position. For this, the jailers fought to the point of bloodshed.

They fought to the death, but in a blink of an eye, they never expected that the position of squad leader would fall to a newcomer who had just been transferred from the C-shaped prison, a young man under the age of 20, a rookie.

Many jailers were not convinced, a hundred of them were not convinced.

Seeing Chen Guanlou walk into the duty room, the jailers secretly snorted coldly, and none of them had a good face. Only Li, who was in the same shift, was very polite to him.

Both of them were squad leaders, and there was no conflict of interest for the time being. Li Dahong was very happy to give Chen Guanlou a face and greeted him warmly.

"I am more than ten years older than you. We will eat from the same pot in the future. I am honored to call you my brother. Do you have any objection?"

"Brother Li, this is too polite. I just came here, and there are many things I don't understand. I will need Brother Li to take care of me in the future. Brother Li, just don't find me annoying."

Li Dahong and Xu Fugui are about the same age. One calls him uncle and the other calls him brother. Chen Guanlou feels very good.
