Chapter 1124: Small Workshops Use Fierce Ingredients

The person locked in the cell next to Master Niu was Master Jia.

Master Jia had been in for a year, his style wild and uninhibited, reciting poetry and composing songs in the cell every few days to express his feelings. From time to time, he demanded the four treasures of the study to scribble on the walls.

The prison guards didn't care about him either; as long as he didn't break out of prison or seek death, everything else was negotiable. If the money was enough, the four treasures of the study were enough.

Chen Guanlou discussed with Master Jia, "When you have time, persuade Master Niu next door. He can't get over it, and the effect of the medicine is limited. If you can persuade him well, I'll give you preferential treatment and won't charge you money."

Master Jia stretched his neck, trying hard to take a look at Master Niu next door.

Unfortunately, the spacing between the cell bars was narrow, and his neck couldn't reach out.

"I know old Niu; he is too weak! When he was an official, he just spun around in the local area. What kind of prospects can there be in the local area, and what kind of big scenes can he see? To be an official, one must be a capital official, even if there isn't much money. Only by being a capital official can one see the real big scenes and be tempered. Actually, his problem is easy to cure; send him to the execution ground to feel it and observe for a few days, and I guarantee all his problems will be gone. He will definitely serve his time peacefully and not make a fuss!"

As soon as Chen Guanlou heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, "Worthy of being Master Jia, your method is good. It has to be you, knowledgeable and full of ideas. I'll give you extra meals today; if you have any needs, just mention them. Just don't bring me those messy things about men and women."

Master Jia immediately became smug, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you flatter me. I don't want extra meals; can you let me go out for air? Free of charge!"

Chen Guanlou chuckled and rebuked angrily, "You're dreaming! Going out for air is one hundred taels once; I'll give you extra meals, even if you eat until your stomach bursts, it'll be at most ten or twenty taels. This official knows how to calculate this account.

Don't always think about taking advantage of the Heavenly Prison. It's not easy now; the Ministry of Justice hasn't allocated grain and silver for more than half a year, and everyone has food to eat only by relying on the Heavenly Prison to open sources and reduce expenditures.

You want to save one hundred taels here, and he wants to save one hundred taels there; you calculate for me, how much money will be in deficit? At the beginning of the month, the prison guards' salaries can't be paid; will you shoulder the responsibility for me?"

Master Jia smiled awkwardly and defended, "I just mentioned it casually; look at how anxious you are. The Ministry of Justice is also too much; the Heavenly Prison isn't raised by a maid, why don't they give grain and silver.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you have to be tough; go find the people from the Ministry of Justice and make them give money and grain. Even if you can't get it, it doesn't matter; the key is the attitude! Show your attitude, go a few more times, and they will value it. Otherwise, the Heavenly Prison will really become something raised by a foot-washing maid, and any cat or dog can bully it."

Chen Guanlou laughed.

These words hit the mark.

"Old Jia, you are a soulmate! Every time I ask for money and grain, it's like fighting a war. The Ministry of Justice is becoming more and more shameless. Either they say they don't have it, or they say the Ministry of Revenue is deducting it, or they find various excuses, even finding excuses about Feng Shui."

"Don't care what excuses the Ministry of Justice finds; in short, just go and ask! Run a few more times, bring a few more people, and you can always get some. Otherwise, it will really become a bad account. At that time, you, the prison warden, will need to find a way to balance the account. This official has been a capital official for many years and knows the urine nature of the capital's offices too well; there isn't a single good thing!"

These words make sense!

None of the capital's offices are good.

They wish they could make the prison guards pay to work.

Too bullying!

Completely inhumane, without a bottom line, and even more without integrity.

"Master Jia, you are a good person! For the sake of your sincerity, I'll give you two extra meals; don't complain that it's too little! The Heavenly Prison is poor, and the prison guards are hungry, all waiting to buy rice to cook."

Master Jia rolled his eyes silently; stingy is stingy, why call it poor!

Whether the Heavenly Prison is poor or not, he couldn't be clearer.

Back then, he had worked in the Ministry of Revenue. Privately, he had calculated accounts for the Ministry of Justice. Especially the Heavenly Prison, which was a big producer and the money bag of the Ministry of Justice.

He didn't expose the other party.

Two extra meals, at least there are some! He didn't dislike it.

If he had exposed the other party, let alone extra meals, he might have even faced reduced meals.

The loss outweighs the gain!

In this day and age, those who know the times are heroes!

The two chatted for a long time.

Chen Guanlou was still not satisfied and agreed to continue chatting next time.

Master Niu's problem must be treated with fierce medicine.

He decided to adopt Master Jia's opinion; when the day of execution came, he would let the prison guards escort Master Niu to the execution ground to personally feel the shocking scene of beheading.

A row of prisoners, men and women, old and young, death row prisoners from the major prison offices in the capital were all gathered together to be beheaded.

With an order from the execution officer, the dog-head guillotines swung down in unison, heads rolled to the ground one by one, rolling a few times on the ground. Blood sprayed, carrying a nauseating bloody smell.

At that scene, the onlookers were excited, while Master Niu vomited on the spot. He lay on the ground vomiting until he was dizzy and couldn't get up.

Chen Quan squatted down, tilted his head, and asked, "Do you still want to go to the execution ground to be beheaded? You saw it too, swish, the guillotine swung down, the head fell to the ground, very fast. Those executing the task are all experienced executioners; every major prison has them.

Our Heavenly Prison's executioners have the most precise knife skills; one cut is fast and accurate. The Imperial Prison next door has the roughest work; blood sprays instantly, all over the floor. Other offices are somewhere in between.

It's just afraid of encountering a second-rate knife; one cut doesn't take off the head, and the prisoner is still alive, that scene... Fortunately, this kind of thing isn't encountered every time. Half a month later, there is another beheading; I'll bring you to see the scene then. You should thank Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen for this; this is a rare opportunity to go out for air that others don't have. Old Niu, you must firmly remember the kindness of our Jiang Jiang Yucheng Master in your heart. Do you remember?"

Master Niu finished vomiting, couldn't stand up, and lay on the ground not wanting to move.

The shock given to him today was enough for him to remember for a lifetime. As for death? He just wanted to return to the Heavenly Prison now; it was better to live well.

People who shout about death every day have never seen real death.

Once they have seen real death, no one wants to die.

Death is too terrible!

Especially such a bloody and cruel death, which makes people shudder. No wonder the common people like to watch the beheading scene; this is to remind themselves to cherish the opportunity to live well and not seek death at every turn!

Chen Quan brought Master Niu back to the Heavenly Prison.

He reported to Chen Guanlou, "The effect is quite good. Master Niu was scared out of his wits, quiet all the way, and never mentioned the word death again. The small one thinks that in the future, if there are prisoners in similar situations, this method should be used for treatment. To deal with pretentious criminal officials, one must use fierce medicine."

"As long as it's effective! You pay attention to observation; if he gets sick again, take him to the execution ground next time to feel it and experience a beheading."

"Master is right! The small one will definitely observe carefully."

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied.

If just watching the execution is not enough to cure it thoroughly, then let Master Niu go to the execution ground and experience the whole beheading process, except for the last step. Guaranteed to cure the illness!

As for whether he will be scared into a fool?

This is not within the scope of the prison warden's duties, and he is not responsible for it. ===== CHAPTER 1125 =====
