Chapter 530: If You Want to Harm Me, Just Say So

Prison Clerk Zhang took the errand and was full of energy.

When it was noon to hand over the account books, he did not hesitate at all, handing them over cleanly and neatly, both public and private accounts, to show his loyalty.

His frank attitude made others gasp, secretly sighing: Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has great means; just by going down to the Grade B prison once, he successfully subdued Prison Clerk Zhang. Prison Clerk Zhang even handed over the private accounts; this is complete submission, willing submission.

Incredible!

Learning this news, the most panicked person was Xu Fugui.

He angrily cursed Prison Clerk Zhang, "This is putting me on the fire to roast!"

He was so anxious that he was spinning around, wishing he could peel off Prison Clerk Zhang's skin. This is not how it's played; this is not how things are done.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Datou peeking from outside the door, and anger rose from his heart. "Lu Datou, you don't go to patrol the prison cells; what are you doing standing outside the door?"

"Reporting to Prison Clerk Xu, I am here to remind you that it is time to hand over the account books. Otherwise, it will be late and delay eating."

"Eat, eat, eat, only know how to eat." Xu Fugui was full of fire, all directed at Lu Datou. "You thing that eats inside and out, don't forget you are still working under me, you are still a prison guard of the Grade C prison. Don't think that because you call Master Chen brother, he will always cover for you. Sooner or later, there will be things for you to cry about."

Lu Datou smiled. "No need for Prison Clerk Xu to worry. Just say whether you are handing over the account books or not. Otherwise, I will send them over for you."

"Which side are you on, anyway?"

"I don't stand on any side; I only listen to the superior's instructions. This morning, I heard clearly that Master Chen wants you to hand over the account books at noon. The Grade B prison next door has already handed them over, even the private accounts were handed over. Prison Clerk Xu, it's your turn, but you can't hold us back. Master Chen after all came out of the Grade C prison; we must support him enough, can't let people see a joke."

Xu Fugui was so angry that he wanted to beat Lu Datou to death.

Old slicker!

More than enough to fail, less than enough to succeed!

He shouldn't have worried about Chen Guanlou; he should have driven Lu Datou out of the Grade C prison early and sent him to sit on the cold bench.

Now it's good, Chen Guanlou's official position is getting higher and higher; in just over a year, he crossed classes, promoted from a petty official to a Jiang Jiang Yucheng, and steadily rode on his head. The so-called acting, that's just a fart. Chen Guanlou is a proper Jiang Jiang Yucheng; one word can remove his errand and send him to sit on the cold bench.

Lu Datou has never broken his relationship with Chen Guanlou all these years, and his posture is also soft... it's called silky.

The former Brother Datou now calls himself a little brother, flattering Chen Guanlou just like those eunuchs.

Shameless.

The delay tactic can't be used actively today.

Because Chen Guanlou sent prison guards to urge him to hand over the account books.

What can he do?

He could only pinch his nose and personally take the account books to the Jiang Jiang Yucheng's office. However, he kept a heart, not handing over the private accounts.

Once he handed over the account books and exchanged a few pleasantries, he hurriedly rushed to the cafeteria to find Prison Clerk Zhang.

Seeing the person, Xu Fugui sat directly in front of the other party and sneered, "Prison Clerk Zhang, I really didn't see it. You, the iron-boned Prison Clerk Zhang, are actually also a dog. Who was shouting about not being convinced before? In the blink of an eye, your waist is softer than anyone else's. You even handed over the private accounts; you are intentionally trying to harm me, right? If you want to harm me, just say so; why beat around the bush?"

Prison Clerk Zhang took a sip of soup, learned from civilized people to take out a handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of his mouth, and then whispered, "The Grade B prison plans to divide prisoners into first, second, and third grades. First-grade prisoners directly correspond to the Grade A prison next door, and the fixed silver is changed to 600 taels."

"What?"

Xu Fugui's eyeballs rolled around, a bit suspicious that he had auditory hallucinations.

"What did you just say?"

"Second-grade prisoners, my idea is to set the fixed silver at 260 taels. Third-grade is cheaper, 60 taels."

"Is this all Chen Guanlou's idea for you? Just because of this, you sold me out too?"

"Master Chen promised to increase everyone's income. At first, I was like you and didn't believe it. But after the experience this morning, I believe it. You say such a simple grading, why couldn't we think of it before? Before us, so many prison clerks, why didn't anyone think of doing it this way?"

Xu Fugui was furious, but his heart envied Prison Clerk Zhang; he was going to make a fortune!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think that grading prisoners is something any prison clerk can do? Believe it or not, you grade them today, and tomorrow someone will take your hat, find an excuse to throw you into the prison cell. And you are not qualified to be locked in the Heavenly Prison; you only deserve to go to the prison below to sit in jail. This matter, only Chen Guanlou can do it."

"Oh, please ask Prison Clerk Xu to explain in detail why this matter can only be done by Master Chen."

"Don't play the fool with me." Xu Fugui was angry. "Chen Guanlou has backing, has background, and is also a martial arts expert. In this one-third of an acre of the Heavenly Prison, he has the final say. On the Ministry of Justice side, they can only pinch their noses and acquiesce to all his means and rules. If it were us, humph, we are just a fart."

Prison Clerk Zhang took another sip of soup. "Since you are clear, why come to question me? I submit to Master Chen, just as you said, he has backing and background, and can cover for us. If something happens, he stands in front."

Xu Fugui sneered repeatedly. "Prison Clerk Zhang, you are indeed inconsistent. Looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a dog."

"Aren't you a dog?" Prison Clerk Zhang asked back.

Xu Fugui's face was livid; he couldn't deny it.

Up and down the Heavenly Prison, everyone is a dog.

It's really heartbreaking.

Forget it, forget it!

He started chatting about idle topics. "I have inside information; do you want to hear it?"

"What inside information?" Prison Clerk Zhang was curious and pricked up his ears to ask.

Xu Fugui looked around and then whispered, "Outside, everyone says Chen Guanlou took the Marquis's Mansion's path to be promoted to Jiang Jiang Yucheng. But I got inside information; he didn't take the Marquis's Mansion's path."

"Not the Marquis's Mansion's path, then whose path could it be?"

"You could break your head guessing and still not guess it. I tell you, he took the path of a certain big master in the Ministry of Justice."

Prison Clerk Zhang was surprised. "He actually ran through the Ministry of Justice's path? No wonder he said he had a way to nail the one surnamed Zhu to death."

"What one surnamed Zhu?" Xu Fugui asked.

Prison Clerk Zhang waved his hand. "A small matter, not worth mentioning." At this moment, he had a little more confidence in dealing with Zhu Ruhai. Since Chen Guanlou had already run through the Ministry of Justice's path, what was he afraid of? Let go and do it boldly. As long as Zhu Ruhai didn't die in the Grade B prison, it would be fine.

"Master Chen specifically took which big master's path, are you clear?" Prison Clerk Zhang asked.

"There are only a few big masters in the Ministry of Justice; if it's not the Minister, it's the Vice Minister. If it's not the Vice Minister, it's a certain master below." ===== CHAPTER 531 =====
