Chapter 1196: Eating Dead People's Money

One person died, but its influence was more than just one person.

Many prison guards who were seconded to work in the Imperial Prison had thoughts of leaving. Money was important, but they also needed their lives to take it!

That place, the Imperial Prison, was not only ten times worse than the Heavenly Prison, but the work was also more. And it wasn't ordinary work, but cooperating with that bunch of lunatics to abuse prisoners.

The bloody scene—any normal person couldn't stand it.

This death touched the already tight nerves of many people, and they all applied to return to the Heavenly Prison. They would rather continue to sit on the cold bench and take basic wages than lose their conscience in the Imperial Prison.

Chen Guanlou's attitude was that they were free to come and go.

"If you want to come back, come back! Don't have any burden! As for the wages, I'll ask for them; the Imperial Prison wouldn't dare not give them. Anyone who has worked for twenty days will get the January wages!"

If the Imperial Prison dared to delay the wages, he would dare to lift the roof of the Imperial Prison.

With his guarantee, twenty or thirty people immediately decided to leave the Imperial Prison.

Company Commander Yang of the Imperial Prison was furious.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, this isn't how things are done. We agreed to work for at least a month, and it hasn't even been a month. And my side hasn't recruited enough people yet; you might as well be tolerant and help out..."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows; wanting him to help out—dream on.

"It's not that I won't help. My people were perfectly fine, went to the Imperial Prison to work, and as a result, someone died. You tell me what to do? Everyone went to help and earn some living expenses, but as a result, the Imperial Prison is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and they lost their lives; who can stand it? Dare I ask who isn't afraid. Fine, fine, stop talking nonsense with me. Here is the list, pay the money. Don't tell me there isn't any; you know my temper."

If this were someone else daring to speak like this in the Imperial Prison's territory and looking for excitement, Company Commander Yang would have slapped him long ago.

However, facing Chen Guanlou, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Checking the list, calculating the money, paying the bill!

Truly acting as a sucker for once.

Except for the time against the Censorate, the Imperial Prison had never suffered such a loss.

But once he thought about how his own boss had also suffered a loss at the hands of Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, his heart immediately balanced. Sure enough, happiness is compared.

After taking the money, Chen Guanlou didn't forget to shout to the Heavenly Prison guards who stayed behind, "If you want to go back, you can go back anytime! If anyone stops you, tell me, and I'll solve it for you!"

The prison guards were moved!

Company Commander Yang's nose was crooked with anger.

Chen Guanlou was drinking tea in the office when the gatekeeper reported that someone had sent a letter, specifically to be handed to the Jiang Jiang Yucheng.

"What letter, let me see. Where is the person who sent it?"

"I didn't see the person!" The gatekeeper was also embarrassed and said truthfully, "In the blink of an eye, there was an extra letter on the table, sealed. The envelope specified it was for the Warden! Warden, look at this matter..."

"Go down first. Be alert when you are on duty in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes, the Warden is right."

The gatekeeper retreated.

Chen Guanlou opened the envelope.

Medical Official Mu asked worriedly from the side, "Warden, aren't you worried about poison?"

"It can't poison me!"

Chen Guanlou laughed happily; with the Longevity Dao Fruit, there hadn't been any poison that could kill him so far.

He thought it would be a secret letter, but it was a stack of silver notes. Attached was a note.

Sure enough, it was sent by Zhang Daohe.

Zhang Daohe learned that a Heavenly Prison prison guard had died on the night of the prison break and felt deep regret, so he sent a token of his heart to express his apology!

Chen Guanlou pinched the thickness of the silver notes—three thousand taels, not too much, not too little.

The guy surnamed Zhang truly knew how to act; as soon as he knew the news, he sent the money. Could it be that he was afraid he would settle accounts after the autumn?

He guessed right.

Zhang Daohe was panicked when he learned that a Heavenly Prison prison guard had died because of the prison break. He was worried that Chen Guanlou would hold a grudge against him! He knew how protective Chen Guanlou was.

Dying a few Imperial Prison guards didn't matter, but dying a Heavenly Prison prison guard was a troublesome matter and had to be handled as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, sending money was the most reliable!

And so, he eagerly sent the money over! He only hoped that Chen Guanlou would calm his anger and not let this matter affect the friendship between the two, let alone affect the great cause of cultivation!

Chen Guanlou took the money and called Qian Fugui.

He took out five hundred taels from the silver notes. "Add it to the previous one and send it to the person. Don't mention the specific source of the money."

"Small one obeys! Warden, rest assured, with so much compensation sent, that family will be so happy they can't find the north, and they might even celebrate that it was their own son who died."

"Don't talk nonsense! If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, don't think of everyone as so despicable!"

It's good to keep a little beautiful fantasy.

Otherwise, people will fall into the abyss and never climb out.

Just like him, not finding truth, goodness, and beauty in the Heavenly Prison, he looked for it in storybooks to cleanse his soul. Let himself not be so dark and filthy!

People must learn to self-regulate, self-praise, and self-comfort! Life will be fulfilling and full of sunshine!

Don't always expect others to praise you or comfort you. They aren't that free!

Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself; this saying refers not only to material self-satisfaction but also to spiritual self-satisfaction!

People often emphasize material things and ignore the spiritual, which is why everyone lives unhappily!

Qian Fugui took people to the deceased's home to send money.

The deceased's family had a whole family of people, parents, brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces. The small courtyard was full of people, crowded, and at a glance, it was a headache. I'm afraid the daily food expenses were a huge sum.

With so many people living in a small courtyard, there must be many conflicts.

When Qian Fugui explained his intention and took out a stack of silver notes, the original appearance of human nature was revealed at this moment. Some were greedy, some were happy, some began to imagine a beautiful life, some were calculating how much money to divide...

Only the youngest sister of the deceased was truly sad for the deceased, angrily roaring: "That is the money my third brother exchanged with his life; third brother hasn't been buried yet, and you are already starting to have ideas about this money, you..."

"Shut up! Dead girl, money-losing goods, there's no place for you to speak here! Get out!" The deceased's mother scolded.

The little girl wiped her tears, scanned everyone with hatred, and rushed out with a heart full of anger.

The deceased's father started to smooth things over, trying to save a bit of face.

Qian Fugui chuckled, not surprised at all.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with that family and hurriedly finished the procedures; he still had to go back to report.

The other party even asked him to stay for a meal!

He couldn't eat it!

He couldn't eat a single bite!

He was afraid that if he ate it, he wouldn't be able to digest it.

Although he had seen many similar situations over the years, he still found it hard to adapt and felt disgusted!

Returning to the Heavenly Prison, he reported what he saw and heard truthfully, without adding oil or vinegar, and without whitewashing peace.

Chen Guanlou nodded, indicating he knew. "By the way, what is his little sister's name?"

"Seems to be called Si Ya."

"No name?"

"Should be, possibly not." Qian Fugui dared to bet his head that the girl definitely didn't have a big name. Looking at the behavior of that family, they didn't look like people who would give their daughter a big name. After all, the deceased was also a very perfunctory name, called Li Sanfei. Ranked third, so called Sanfei; the second was called Erzhuang; the first was called Dazhu! The fourth was called Si Shui!

"You pay attention to it normally. If Li Siya needs anything, or is bullied, the Heavenly Prison has the responsibility to stand up for her."

"What about the others in the Li family?"

"No need to care about their life or death."

"Small one understands." ===== CHAPTER 1197 =====
