Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 48: Prison (3)

Zhao Hu returned to the island before nightfall that day. Under the personal intervention of Gu Wuchen, the police officer dispatched a chariot to secretly arrest Ge Zuxin, the former prison officer, on his way back to his hometown. Jiqi was led by Yang Pu himself. In order to prevent information from leaking, he did not return to Jiangning City after capturing the person, and borrowed a local secret interrogation in Moling County with Chen/Yuanliang, the magistrate of Moling County.

No matter Gu Wuchen or Lin Fu, neither wanted to dig out some big worms from the inside of the Chaplaincy Department at this time, but Lin Fu wanted to completely control Jiangdao Prison, so how could his subordinates use unreliable officials' eyes?

The officers and guards of Jiangdao Prison must undergo a major blood change. This is the consensus reached by Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen.

Yang Pu led people to secretly arrest Ge Zuxin, the former prisoner; Lin Jingzhong obeyed Lin Fu's instructions, and secretly arranged a Wu Peng boat at the mouth of Jinchuan River. Zhou Pu personally led two boatmen to guard the boat, and Wu Qi brought Another rogue robber lurks left and right to monitor the prison island.

After listening to Zhao Hu returning to the island and talking about these arrangements, Lin Fu was still business as usual. He also asked Zhao Hu to bring a lot of fishing tools such as net bags, fish baskets, harpoons, fishing rods, and fishing rods from the city when he returned to the island. Come, and bring a few baskets of chicken, duck and pork to subsidize and improve the life of the prisoners. Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin and others didn't feel anything unusual, but felt that Lin Fu, the new boss, had the intention of controlling the overall situation, but he did not forget to win over their officials.

The use of prisoners to fish in shallow water by the river also went well. Lin Tie was on the north beach of Prison Island. Sprinkling rotten rice on the beach as bait, even if there is no fishing boat, as long as people are not afraid of the cold water, they can catch a lot of fishing with nets in shallow water.

Of the ten people selected, three of them had experience in fishing in the lake. Knowing that Jiangyu is particularly stupid in the cold and harsh solar terms, they took the others into the water to catch fish very wholeheartedly. On the first day, they caught forty-five, two Three hundred catties of plump anchovies.

Of course, Lin Fu would not supply enough fish to the prisoners. About every 20 prisoners would provide a foot-long river carp for two meals of fish and vegetable soup. The prison guard's food was originally a little better, and he only added a small amount of anchovies to improve the food. If he could get more than 100 catties of fish a day, he would exchange vegetables, eggs, pork, rice noodles and other items with the nearby villagers.

In the suburbs near the river, fish should be cheap, but this is not the case. Jiangning Prefecture, Moling County, and the Jiangning General’s House of Generals have changed the laws of tax collection. Not only do fishing boats have to pay for going down the river and lakes, but ordinary people also have to pay river donations if they have a fishing net or a fishing rod at home. Such harsh and miscellaneous taxes, coupled with the fact that there are 150,000 households in Jiangning City, even in the suburbs of the river, the price of fish and meat is more than twice the price of rice. In addition to making profits, traders also pay entry and city taxes.

After Lin Fu went to the island, he saw the water camp boats under the jurisdiction of the Jiangning garrison general's house patrolling the river many times a day. fishing boats and thieves.

Arrest those who evade donations and resist taxes, and send the suspect to the city jail. The city jail can exploit the suspect under various pretexts, and is naturally willing to share the fat with the yamen who sent the suspect here. Many people are caught by various yamen because of trivial matters. Most of them are afraid of going to prison and being tortured and exploited. They are willing to admit the punishment and leave on the spot. Even the murderer who has the money can bargain and get out. Each yamen competes for fat living.

Jiangning's garrison general's mansion was originally a garrison yamen, and it was strictly forbidden to interfere with the civil society, not to mention taking the people who resisted the law and collecting river donations. The things on the ground have been cleaned up by the yamen of various prefectures and counties. They have the excuse of river defense and river defense. Naturally, they will turn the Yangtze River, Chaotiandang, Longzangpu and other major water systems in Jiangning and surrounding areas into their own territory, and even turn the prefectures and counties into their own territory. The yamen's team of river donations were driven out from these waters. Most of the thousands of water battalions are scattered out to do these things, and warning Jiang Fang and river defense has naturally become a joke, and even boats donated by water to the river are often targeted by Jiang bandits.

Although Jiangdao Prison can only be regarded as a yamen from the ninth grade, but it is also a yamen, at least there is no tax to fish on the riverside, and you don’t have to worry about the county yamen asking for donations when you bring the river fish to the shore to exchange rice and vegetables with the villagers. To be able to produce more than 100 catties of fish every day can almost offset the many deficits since Lin Bie set the new rules.

After only three or five days of practice, Changsun Geng, Zhou Shide and others felt that the new boss was really smart in running the prison, and even felt that it was necessary to find more honest and reliable prisoners and put them on the riverside to fish. You must know that there are 150,000 households in Jiangning City, and they consume a large amount of anchovies every day. In the name of the inspector, they are transported into the city for sale, making more profits.

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, which was also the eighth day of Lin Fu's visit to the prison island, Yang Pu brought a team of soldiers to the island. He took a document and declared that the deputy envoy Gu Wuchen would go to the island for inspection tomorrow. He brought people here to strengthen the situation. Prison Island's weapons are prepared to prevent accidents.

After the prison city proposal was rejected, Jiangdao prison seemed to be forgotten. Unless there was a big problem over the years, no senior officials still remember this place. A few days ago, Xiao Xuanchou sent Lin Fu to take up his post according to the investigation. He has been the highest official on the island for two years, but it would be too long for Xiao Xuanchou to stay on the island for a long time; Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng, Jiang Jin, Cao Shang and other low-level civil and military officials felt flattered to come to the island for inspection, and they arranged for Lin Fuzhi to prepare for the reception, but they never thought of going anywhere else.

Lin Fudan welcomed Yang Pu into the yard where he lived alone on Prison Island.

"Have the prison guards in the prison ever had any suspicions?" Yang Pu was not at ease after all, and he couldn't solve the matter neatly, which was not good for Gu Wuchen's foothold in Jiangning, and many people in Jiangning city were waiting to see Gu Wuchen's good show .

"Just these little fish, they would think that the deputy envoy Tangtang would personally go out and arrest them?" Lin Fu said with a smile, "Everything is fine, just take someone tomorrow..."

"Well, Jiangdao Prison is full of inmates who have no money to redeem their crimes. Guarding this prison island can be said to be the least oily errand. They are trying to find a way to get money," Yang Pu introduced the interrogation in the past few days. The situation, "Ge Zuxin, the former superintendent of the prison, arrested and brought us to justice, but he couldn't bear the punishment, so he confessed after only three or four days. They really colluded, threatening to deduct the prisoners' food and lynching them, forcing those women who had committed **** crimes to come to prison. The brothel in Quyang Town, east of the city, sells herself for profit. There are three women in charge of the female prisoners who are the prostitutes in the brothel in Quyang Town. There is also a case of forcing female prisoners to sleep in the prison. It is rumored that you are coming to Jiangdao Prison to take over as the boss. After the prison officer, this activity was suspended, I'm afraid I want to stop..."

"Where do they want to stop?" Lin Bie spat, thinking about forcing female prisoners to sell themselves, but it has never happened for thousands of years, he said, "The first day I came, they sent two female prisoners to try it out. I'm only willing to think about dragging me into the water."

Female prisoners will only be sentenced to prison for rape, and if the punishment is heavier, they will even be sentenced to official kilns as prostitutes.

Prisoners forced female prisoners to become prostitutes, and the history is endless. There were nearly 1,000 prisons in the sixteen counties of the Dayue Dynasty, and prisons in various prefectures and counties, and not only Jiangdao prison was doing this dirty thing. In other places, even if the chief inspector knows that there are such evil acts under his rule, most of them will ignore it. In the eyes of ordinary people, especially moralists, this may not be considered an evil at all. The former Minister of the Household, Chen Xiyan, who resigned to give lectures at the Xixi Academy after losing the party fight with his partner Chen Xinbo, and even female prisoners who openly confessed to committing adultery should be used as prostitutes in official kilns to atone for their crimes.

Yang Pu thought to himself that Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu might just need an excuse to clean up the Jiangdao prison. He smiled and said, "In order not to startle the snake, let's start from here tomorrow."

*********

Before noon the next day, Gu Wuchen was about to board the boat at the Jiuweng Bridge Pier. Lin Fu and Yang Pu led more than ten people to the south of the island, including Zhang Sun Geng, Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, Cao Shang, the heads of the classes, and the heads of military soldiers. The Simple Pier awaits. A team of soldiers who came along with Yang Pu were temporarily stationed in the courtyard of the Director of Prisons, and the prison cells were temporarily closed.

First, four military soldiers oar boats came to drive away the fishing boats and merchant ships in the waterway on the south side of the prison island, temporarily closing the waterway, and then Gu Wuchen came by the official boat. The official ship was full of sword-wielding guards and soldiers in dark red uniforms. Gu Wuchen was wearing a fourth-grade vermilion official robe, with long feet and a right-angled black crown. He stood on the bow very conspicuously. The official ship docked at the pier, and the guards Wu pawns got off the boat and stood on the pier in four rows. Chang Sun Geng and others looked at Gu Wuchen, the newly appointed deputy inspector, and followed Lin Fu to pay homage.

"Under the post, the prison guard of Jinchuan Island, Lin Fu, led all the officials to welcome Lord Gu to inspect..." Lin Fu saluted and asked Gu Wuchen to get off the boat.

"Okay, okay," Gu Wuchen got off the boat and said a few words in a row, looking at the officials beside Lin Fu, standing on the pier, and said aloud, "You have been in prison here for eight or nine years, and there are three For four years, most of them have worked hard and made great achievements. I have drawn up a list here, and those who are on the top, please stand on my left..."

Chang Sun Geng and others were slightly taken aback, thinking that Gu Wuchen would have an award, and they were very happy, and stood respectfully waiting for Gu Wuchen to read the list.

"Book Office Zhou Shide, Wushu Primary School Cao Shang, Jiang Jin, class leader Du Ziteng, Xiao Hu, Chen Dazhuang, Yang Hei..."

Changsun Geng listened to Gu Wuchen reciting the list, and 80% of the prison guards, the head of the squad, and the leader of the military guards were named and stood aside to receive the reward. It was just that he and the other two famous squads who only did things honestly didn't get the title, and he was patient. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Seeing Zhou Shide and others so proud, I was even more lazy and disheartened. I just wanted to go back and have a good drink, and let the world be pure and black.

Lin Bie stood aside with his arms in his arms, looking at the expressions on these people's faces, thinking to himself: The next moment's changes in expressions will probably be wonderful!

"You all know in your heart that you have worked hard and made great achievements. Do you know what I will reward you?" Gu Wuchen squinted at the prison officials in front of him, his face changed suddenly, pointed to the eyes of the officials in front of him, and ordered in a deep voice, "General All these rapists and criminals will be taken down by me..."

Zhou Shide and the others suddenly did not know why, but the guard soldiers brought by Gu Wuchen tied them from behind like wolves like tigers. tuck it up and put it aside to wait for orders.

Gu Wuchen said to Lin Fu and Yang Pu again: "You lead people to unload the prison guards and officers on the island, and detain them one by one to check one by one, and you must not let a traitor..."

Changsun Geng was stunned by the great changes on the pier. Even if no one came to arrest him, he stood there at a loss.

"Changsun Shuban, what are you thinking?" Lin Fu took off the saber from his waist and held it in his hand, watching Changsun Geng standing there in a daze, and said, "Who among the officers and guards belongs to these villains? Minions, you know best in your heart, why don't you follow me in to recognize people?"

"Ah!" Only then did Chang Sun Geng know that the new boss, with the support of the Deputy Commissioner, was going to clean up Jiangdao Prison completely~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He and the other two were honest and innocent, but they almost fell out of fear. The head of Soul's class followed Lin Fu and Yang Pu in the direction of the prison step by step. A group of guards and soldiers who came with Gu Wuchen followed behind them. Chang Sun Geng looked back again, only to see Zhou Shide and others tied to the dock. On, Gu Wuchen returned to the boat.

Chang Sun Geng didn't even know how the deputy envoy of the press inspector confirmed that he and the other two class leaders were innocent. Lin Fu looked at his surprised face and comforted him, saying: "The former chief prisoner Ge Zuxin gave Yang a long time ago on the way back to his hometown. Dian Wei led people to intercept the road and bring them to justice. Who among the officials was involved in the case and who was not involved in the case, the police and envoys have been investigating clearly in the past few days, but who is the minion of the military soldiers and the errands, Ge Zuxin himself Not quite..."

Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, Cao Sang, and the leaders of all the squads and military soldiers were all taken down in one fell swoop. Lin Fu had many guards and soldiers, and the guard soldiers and other servants within the high wall naturally did not dare to cause trouble. He honestly unloaded his weapons and sent him to the C-shaped cell to wait for an investigation. Yang Puxian led a team of guards and soldiers to serve as the guards of Jiangdao prison.

Even though the servants and many military pawns acted as minions, most of them were under threat. After being identified by Chang Sun Geng and the two class leaders, nearly 20 vicious and evil men were selected and put on shackles, and the others were just concentrated. imprisoned. The 20 officers under the two squad leaders also did not do anything evil to the coordinator because of their innocence. They were released after a simple inquiry. Prepare dinner for the prisoners under the watchful eye.
