Chapter 198: A Pure Fool

~8 min read 1,575 words

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu had only been in office for ten days when he recouped his initial investment and even made a small profit, which made him very satisfied.

In private, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Heavenly Prison is still the place with money; the shots fired are never less than fifty taels. Unlike the county government office below, where everyone is a poor ghost—two taels, five taels, and at most no more than ten taels. I took the right step; the Heavenly Prison is still comfortable!"

Prison Clerk Wan had previously been implicated because his concubine's younger brother was involved in a murder case, and he was also implicated, being suppressed by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan and transferred to guard the warehouse, sitting on the bench for nearly two years, and his income had plummeted as a result.

He had been holding a breath in his heart—a breath of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan was transferred, and Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu took office; he knew his opportunity had come. He didn't hesitate to spend a fortune to bribe Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu, just asking to return to the Grade A prison.

There were no real secrets in the Heavenly Prison.

For the past two years, Chen Guanlou had also cultivated a group of younger brothers, and they actively sent news to Chen Guanlou: Prison Clerk Wan was not willing to be lonely.

Chen Guanlou chuckled. "The person who should be most nervous is Prison Clerk Fan."

He arranged for someone to leak the news to Prison Clerk Fan.

Prison Clerk Fan was instantly furious—what the hell, a person who had been sitting on the bench for nearly two years dared to come and grab his position; was he courting death?

If the uncle could endure it, the aunt couldn't!

Without waiting for any movement from Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu, Prison Clerk Fan united with Xu Fugui and Prison Clerk Zhang of the Grade B prison to launch a counterattack against Prison Clerk Wan.

Persuading Xu Fugui and Prison Clerk Zhang was actually very simple.

Prison Clerk Fan had an uncle, and his uncle was working above now. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu was a smart person and certainly wouldn't move him for the time being. If he didn't move him, he would have to move the Grade C prison or the Grade B prison to make room for Prison Clerk Wan.

This infringed upon the interests of Xu Fugui and Prison Clerk Zhang.

The three united to suppress Prison Clerk Wan.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu was a smart person and naturally knew how to make trade-offs. The three Heavenly Prisons he could control were also his source of wealth. He couldn't move the logistics side because the backer was too hard.

He had to attach importance to the opinions of the three prison clerks. He didn't want to be sidelined by the people below just after arriving.

There was no other way; he could only let down Prison Clerk Wan's heavy bribe and sternly criticized Prison Clerk Wan. "Don't think about this and that all day long; do your job well and guard the warehouse—that's better than anything."

Prison Clerk Wan was struck by lightning and was so angry he almost flipped the table on the spot.

Too shameless!

Taking money without doing things—there was no such rule in the world.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu understood the rules; he returned Prison Clerk Wan's money. "You take care of yourself."

Prison Clerk Wan gritted his teeth. "Is the lord dissatisfied with the small one?"

"Don't think too much. The timing is not right now; wait for the future. In the future, when there is an opportunity, this official will think of you first." Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu opened his mouth and made a cake without money.

Prison Clerk Wan was unwilling!

The reason he persisted in the Heavenly Prison instead of choosing to leave and seek another way out was that he was thinking of making a comeback one day. He wanted to take revenge on those who had kicked him while he was down and ridiculed him in the past.

Seeing the opportunity in front of him, it was directly strangled by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu because he was afraid of trouble.

How could he not hate, how could he not be angry.

If it weren't for his self-cultivation over the past year, he would have truly exploded on the spot.

"May I ask the lord, what must the small one do for the lord to be willing to help me?"

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu frowned. He was very dissatisfied; such a lack of eyesight, yet still dreaming of being promoted by him—dream on!

"Prison Clerk Wan, this official said, wait for the future when there is an opportunity, and I will naturally remember you. You are now pestering and making trouble—what kind of system is this?"

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu almost pointed at the door and told Prison Clerk Wan to get out.

As a subordinate, daring to force an official—was there any rule left?

No wonder the previous Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan suppressed this person; he deserved it!

However, before he could give an order, Prison Clerk Wan's resignation report was submitted one step ahead. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu snorted coldly and approved it on the spot without saying a word.

"Get out, get out, get out quickly! The Heavenly Prison temple is small and cannot accommodate you, this big Buddha."

Prison Clerk Wan turned and left without the slightest nostalgia.

Others in the Heavenly Prison actually didn't expect Prison Clerk Wan's temper to be so foul that he would turn against Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu on the spot just because Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu didn't go his way.

"I didn't see it before; Prison Clerk Wan's temper is so irritable."

"Wan has endured for nearly two years; this time he really couldn't endure it anymore."

"Prison Clerk Wan is also wishful thinking; he doesn't even think about how long it has been since he left the Grade A prison, yet he still dreams of coming back."

"Prison Clerk Fan's move was ruthless enough to force Prison Clerk Wan away directly."

Xiao Jin and a few prison guards ran to Chen Guanlou's side to congratulate him. This nemesis, Prison Clerk Wan, could finally be considered to have left the Heavenly Prison.

Chen Guanlou was also quite surprised that Prison Clerk Wan had actually resigned.

However, thinking about it, he could understand. Since he had offended Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu, continuing to stay would only be self-inflicted humiliation; it would be better to leave decisively and at least keep some dignity.

"Alright, say less. Is today's patrol work finished? Is there anyone sick?"

"Don't worry, Chen Tou, we're going to patrol now."

The prison guards all dispersed.

Lu Datou slipped away and found Chen Guanlou to drink, saying he wanted to celebrate Prison Clerk Wan's rolling away.

"I've long found Wan unpleasant to the eye; he can finally be considered gone. However, Wan used to be quite good at conducting himself; why is he so impulsive this time?"

"It's not because of money." Chen Guanlou reviewed the whole thing, pondered it, and could be sure that Prison Clerk Wan should have no money. The money to bribe Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu was already his last capital. As a result, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Niu didn't do things for him; no wonder he was so angry he turned against him on the spot.

Lu Datou heard this and bared his teeth. "He has been a prison clerk for several years; why is he out of money so quickly?"

"He earns a lot, but he spends a lot too. Previously, the case of his concubine's younger brother supposedly emptied his family's foundation." Chen Guanlou said casually.

"That's true. For example, if you let me take out ten taels of silver, I can't take it out."

Chen Guanlou snorted coldly and complained, "You will die in the casino sooner or later."

"Born in the casino, die in the casino—it's a worthy death." Lu Datou was very open-minded; as a gambler, one must have the ideological awareness that a gambler should have.

A month or so had passed since Wang Shuner's case, and Chen Guanlou heard a new piece of news.

Three days before Wang Shuner was escorted to the execution ground, the Wang family had been poisoned and all died in prison, with no survivors.

Chen Guanlou:...

What kind of deep hatred did Wang Shuner and his sect have! Not saving people was one thing, but actually poisoning them directly.

Saying it was to avoid beheading and torture was all bullshit.

With the ability of Wang Shuner's sect, saving a few people in the local government prison would be as simple as eating and drinking. They even dared to storm the heavily guarded execution ground in the capital and could escape smoothly; the local government prison was like a vegetable market to them—they could enter and exit as they pleased, and saving people would be a matter of lifting a finger.

Yet they chose to poison them!

There must be an extremely cruel grudge and hatred in this.

Wang Shuner is stupid!

A pure fool! ===== CHAPTER 199 =====

Yet they chose to poison them!

There must be an extremely cruel grudge hidden within this.

Wang Shuner is a fool!

A pure fool!
