Chapter 1735

In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanding, the weather was very strange.

In previous years in March, the grass grew and the warblers flew, and the thick cotton-padded jackets had already been taken off. This year in March, the cotton-padded jackets were still firmly wrapped around the body.

Experienced people knew that this kind of weather must be a disaster year! Agricultural crops would definitely see a reduction in production.

The buds that should have sprouted didn't, and the frozen land didn't thaw. At the time of spring plowing, it couldn't be cultivated, there was no water in the water channels, and the ice and snow in the mountains hadn't melted...

The Government Affairs Hall issued a warning about this situation, reminding local officials in the north to keep a close eye on this year's spring plowing and summer harvest, and must report the original data to the court for the first time. If there is any concealment, punish them severely.

Yuanding Emperor knew half and didn't know half about farming, belonging to the level of half a bucket of water. Everything has the Government Affairs Hall, at worst it's just disaster relief.

Having been Emperor for many years, he had experience in disaster relief.

So for the abnormal weather, he wasn't nervous at all, nor was he worried.

Recently, Imperial Consort Li was favored again, and the Imperial Brother-in-law Li Yanmo, who had been locked in the Heavenly Prison for two full years, finally waited for his release document.

He sat in the prison cell, holding the release document, wailing and crying, crying until he couldn't stop himself.

That pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking for those who heard it and tear-jerking for those who saw it.

Chen Guanlou advised him, "You should restrain yourself a little. Those who know will know you are being released from prison; those who don't will think you are dying, crying so sadly. Besides, in the two years you were in the Heavenly Prison, have I ever made things difficult for you, or has anyone deliberately made things difficult for you? Except for the place where you lived being a bit poor, everything else was quite good; you have to admit it."

"You say it so well, why don't you sit in prison and experience it." Li Yanmo retorted. Released, his confidence came back, and he could be arrogant again.

"Since I haven't committed an offense, why should I sit in prison."

"Since you haven't sat in prison, you can't say that sitting in prison is quite good. You are irresponsible." Li Yanmo said solemnly, insisting on being serious.

Chen Guanlou decisively ceased fire, not wanting to argue with the other party.

"Congratulations to Imperial Brother-in-law Li, congratulations to Imperial Brother-in-law Li, for being released from prison today. If there is a chance in the future, let's drink together."

Li Yanmo said hmm, counting as a response.

But he thought in his heart that after he was released, the gap in status between the two sides would be huge, and drinking together would be impossible. The words spoken in the prison cell in the past were just jokes. Whoever believes them is a fool!

As the saying goes, life's encounters change, status changes accordingly, and the status of honor and inferiority is highlighted. It is no longer suitable to sit at the same table and eat and drink.

Li Yanmo walked out of the prison cell, finished washing, and changed into clean clothes.

Standing in the courtyard, looking up, facing the sun, looking forward to rebirth.

The Li family's servants had been waiting for a long time, standing on the side, urging silently.

Li Yanmo turned his head, clasped his fists at Chen Guanlou, "Thank you, Company Commander Chen, for taking care of me for these two years; we will meet again!"

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, hurry up and get out! He saw the white eyes of the Li family's servants, a bunch of dog-shit things that look up to the high and look down on the low.

Li Yanmo left, and the courtyard became quiet.

Chen Guanlou hummed a little tune, holding a teapot, feeling beautiful in his heart.

Li Yanmo still had more than two thousand taels of silver left in his account in the Heavenly Prison, all confiscated.

The Li family came to ask for a refund?

Just kidding!

The Heavenly Prison has only entered and not exited since ancient times, and no refunds are given!

People who can get a refund from the Heavenly Prison haven't been born yet.

More than two thousand taels, Chen Guanlou took fifteen hundred taels, and the rest was distributed to the prison guards of the A-block prison.

He also took out two hundred taels as a bonus for Medical Official Mu.

The scribes in the signing room were distributed one hundred taels.

Everyone had money to take, laughing happily!

Medical Official Mu nagged casually, "It still has to be these noble sons who have money; the money left in the account is more than the silver spent on clearing relationships in the C-block prison next door."

The prisoners in the C-block prison had a common characteristic, and that was poverty!

At least eighty percent of the prisoners were poor ghosts!

Poor mountains and evil waters!

Poverty gives birth to evil plans!

Poor and horizontal!

Their evil mostly stems from poverty!

Because of poverty, they became bandits.

Because of poverty, they robbed houses!

Because of poverty, they robbed on the road!

Because of poverty, they rebelled and killed people!

Because of poverty, they trafficked people...

Most of these people were illiterate, had no plans for life, spent money when they had it, and robbed when they didn't! Therefore, after these people were caught, most of them had nothing, and sometimes they couldn't even take out the silver to handle the prison guards, so they had to find ways to scrape money together.

Even if individual people had brains and saved up family property, they still lived poorly. Spending money to handle things and saving lives, they still dared to bargain and fake things. After being dragged by prison guards to the torture room for a round of cleaning, they knew what was good.

After Xu Fugui died, the C-block prison lacked someone responsible for hitting money.

In these few months, the income of the C-block prison was far inferior to when Xu Fugui was alive, and the income was nearly one-third less. The situation was very serious.

Chen Guanlou pondered that Huang Ye was qualified to be a prison clerk. The C-block prison was managed in an orderly manner, better than Xu Fugui.

But in terms of hitting money, he was clearly not as dark-hearted and ruthless as Xu Fugui, and could squeeze oil out of the bone seams.

What to do?

Must find someone to take over Xu Fugui's work; Huang Ye just needs to be responsible for managing the C-block prison.

Who to find?

He screened the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison one by one, worried.

Hitting money seems simple, but it actually tests a person's comprehensive quality. Not only must one be dark-hearted and ruthless, but one must also understand human hearts and human nature, know how to be relaxed and tight, and be soft and hard. Some prisoners want money but not their lives, and would rather die than reveal where the money is hidden; this tests the ability of the person hitting money. How to dig money out of the prisoner's hands, more money, and not let the prisoner die?

This time, Mu Qingshan made a merit.

After Medical Official Mu learned of Chen Guanlou's trouble, he said directly: "The lord is covering his eyes with a leaf. The Heavenly Prison has a ready-made candidate."

"Who? Can he compare to Xu Fugui?"

"Maybe even three parts more powerful than Xu Fugui."

"Tell me, who is it?" Chen Guanlou didn't quite believe that there was someone more awesome at hitting money than Xu Fugui, why hadn't he heard of it before.

Mu Qingshan really wasn't talking nonsense, "It's that who, that one called Li Shuan."

"Li Shuan!" Chen Guanlou was stunned.

Medical Official Mu was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about! If you don't understand, don't talk randomly. What kind of character is Li Shuan? He is just a prison guard; what ability does he have to share worries for the lord. Mu Qingshan, I think your skin is itching. Go back and deal with you later."

Mu Qingshan looked aggrieved; he was suggesting sincerely, how did it get to the point of skin itching.

Chen Guanlou first stopped the furious Medical Official Mu and asked Mu Qingshan, "Why do you recommend Li Shuan? He is just a prison guard; how can you see that he can hit money? Tell the truth, don't make things up."

"I didn't make things up! I and Li Shuan used to be drinking buddies, and I have seen his face in private, which can be called hateful to people and ghosts. Someone owed him gambling debts and refused to pay, so he went directly to the door."

"And then?"

"He actually wanted to rape the gambler's mother and wife. He also said he would hang them up to receive guests! When enough money is earned, then pay it back."

Ah?

Is it so vicious?

Medical Official Mu was very curious and asked quietly, "Did he rape them?"

Mu Qingshan was a bit twisted, as if it was hard to speak!
