Chapter 1203: Arranging Errands by Inserting Needles

The weather finally turned cool!

The Heavenly Prison, which had appeared listless due to the hot weather before, was now boiling again.

Once the weather turned cool, Chen Guanlou began to miss hot pot.

He had the cafeteria set up a pot and brought Medical Official Mu, Mu Qingshan, and Chen Mengzhi to eat hot pot.

He also called a few prison clerks.

However, the few prison clerks all made excuses that they had things to do and didn't come.

The main reason was that in front of the prison guards, he was full of majesty and rarely had times when he was smiling and unserious. Eating and having hot pot with him was very stressful.

Even his trusted subordinate Chen Quan didn't dare to come up. He feared he wouldn't have eaten two bites of food before showing an ugly appearance due to nervousness, making Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen disgusted.

These prison clerks were really not lacking those few bites to eat. Their monthly income wasn't low; they couldn't eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but mountain delicacies and sea flavors were definitely no problem. Even the prison guards below, whose income had risen in the past two years, occasionally dared to eat a big meal to satisfy their cravings.

A forehead full of sweat!

Chen Guanlou just enjoyed the feeling of breaking into a sweat while eating shabu-shabu.

Those sitting there were either old-timers of the Heavenly Prison or relatives, so everyone was very comfortable.

Chen Guanlou had a majestic face in front of the prison guards, but he was always comfortable in front of Medical Official Mu and the others, often appearing frivolous and unserious. It suited his age very well.

So everyone ate very happily without the slightest restraint.

"Little Chen has been here for a long time; are you used to it?" Medical Official Mu was particular about being seven-tenths full when eating, so when he had eaten enough, he put down his chopsticks, drank tea to relieve the greasiness, and took the opportunity to show concern for the young man Chen Mengzhi.

Chen Mengzhi immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "It's all fine; I'm slowly getting used to it."

"Are there any difficulties with the errands? If you really encounter difficulties, don't be afraid; you must boldly open your mouth to ask people. Ask your Uncle Qingshan, ask the few clerks in the signing room, or ask your Uncle Lou. A big guy coming out to do things must be bold."

Medical Official Mu imparted a little experience as someone who had been there.

Chen Guanlou also echoed, "Medical Official Mu is right. Chen Mengzhi, if you encounter difficulties, don't keep them to yourself."

"Many thanks to Medical Official Mu, many thanks to Uncle Lou. In the signing room, everyone takes good care of me. When I encounter difficulties, everyone is willing to help me. I'm not shy; I dare to open my mouth to ask people." Chen Mengzhi sat upright, like a primary school student.

One was an old man who had worked in the Heavenly Prison for decades, with excellent medical skills, who had even seen the old lady of the Hou Fu. One was his majestic and awesome Uncle Lou. He couldn't afford to offend either of them and only had the duty to listen. He was even afraid that his attitude wasn't upright enough and he would be scolded. So, he was very serious when answering questions and didn't dare to be distracted at all.

Mu Qingshan looked at his appearance and laughed, "Don't scare him. With me here, no one in the signing room dares to bully him."

"You haven't even figured out your own affairs, yet you're still taking care of others." Chen Guanlou was very disgusted.

Mu Qingshan was unconvinced.

Thinking back to when he first arrived, he hadn't been afraid, and now he was even less afraid.

"How can I not take care of others? Those few clerks, aside from having more seniority than me, how can they compare to me? I at least have the fame of a scholar; what do they have? Just the status of a child student. One of them even bought his child student status with money."

"You know this too?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.

Buying a child student status, such a secret thing, yet he dared to say it out loud. Wasn't he afraid of being used by others to make secret accusations and losing his job? In this day and age, wanting to find a decent, clean, and high-income job, let alone the capital, was not easy in the whole world.

A Heavenly Prison clerk, aside from the bad reputation of the Heavenly Prison, completely satisfied the requirements of being decent, clean, and high-income. Many people were still willing to come in.

"Once, everyone went out to drink together, got drunk, and let it slip. However, I promised the other party to keep it secret." After Mu Qingshan finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed.

He had promised to keep it secret, but after a few cups, he had poked out someone else's secret. And he had poked it out in front of the Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng.

Chen Guanlou sneered, mocking Mu Qingshan for not having a gate on his mouth. But he didn't intend to pursue it.

As a Jiang Jiang Yucheng, he could indeed pursue the issue of his subordinates faking their academic qualifications. But it wasn't necessary. As long as they could handle the work and do it well, they could take office even if their qualifications weren't enough.

Just like Chen Mengzhi, who also didn't have an imperial examination status, just studied in the clan school for a few years, could write and calculate, and was a young, smart-headed person. And look, he also had an errand in the Heavenly Prison.

Mu Qingshan looked sheepish, and seeing that Chen Guanlou didn't intend to pursue it, nor did he ask who was faking their academic qualifications, his heart suddenly relaxed. If his colleague lost his job because of him, it would truly be a sin.

Medical Official Mu scanned Mu Qingshan with extreme disgust; he was old, yet still like a twenty-something young man, not steady at all in his actions and speech.

"My lord, drink tea to relieve the greasiness!" Medical Official Mu smiled and poured tea and water for Chen Guanlou.

"I'll do it myself! You just sit there." Chen Guanlou took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. The fragrance of the tea made his spicy mouth come alive again, and a coolness drove away the heat.

"I don't know when the Brocade Uniform Guard will return our Heavenly Prison guards." Medical Official Mu asked with concern.

"I see that the recruitment next door doesn't seem to be going very smoothly." Mu Qingshan followed up.

Chen Guanlou wasn't surprised at all, "The Imperial Prison is different from the Heavenly Prison; the requirements for recruiting people in the Imperial Prison are high, with many rules and regulations. Ordinary people really can't do it."

"In this way, won't our Heavenly Prison guards have to work in the Imperial Prison for a long time? Is this okay?" Medical Official Mu was a little worried.

He was worried that if the prison guards went to the Imperial Prison for too long, they would deteriorate! The environment of the Imperial Prison was too distorted; normal people who went in either had to go along with the corruption or had to leave.

If the Heavenly Prison guards were polluted by the Imperial Prison, would they bring hidden dangers when they returned to the Heavenly Prison? Would vicious incidents occur?

Chen Guanlou, reminded, was also a little worried, "Mu Qingshan, tomorrow you send an official document to the Brocade Uniform Guard, asking them to return the prison guards as soon as possible. By the way, the last time I asked you to send an official document to the Brocade Uniform Guard for money, why has there been no movement for so long?"

"The official document has already been sent. However, the Brocade Uniform Guard has been busy recently, and I guess Official Xiao simply doesn't have time to look at the official document."

Chen Guanlou nodded knowingly.

During this time, Xiao Jincheng was indeed very busy, busy wiping his butt and cleaning up, busy catching cult bandits, and busy showing his face before the Emperor to keep his job.

He instructed Mu Qingshan, "The Brocade Uniform Guard is done with their business; you send another official document over, asking them for money. By the way, return the prison guards to me. One by one, they all treat it as talk, and they all come to pluck the wool of the Heavenly Prison; this is unreasonable!"

Mu Qingshan said "Ah," and opened his mouth wide.

He never thought that a good meal, chatting and chatting, would result in him having another errand.

"My lord, do you still want money? Hasn't the matter passed for such a long time?"

Chen Guanlou scanned him with extreme disgust, "Do you think the money is too hot to handle?"

Mu Qingshan shook his head repeatedly to deny it. If he dared to dislike the money for being too hot, he dared to guarantee that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen would 100% deduct his bonus and teach him a lesson. ===== CHAPTER 1204 =====
