half year later.
One day in midsummer.
Seventeen-year-old Qin Geng, with youthful features and a pair of new clothes, came to Tianlao and paid someone to hand over a post to the prison warden Shen Lian.
Why did Shen Lian appear in the position of prison warden again? Let’s start with Hong Chengqian.
Over the years, Hong Chengqian was unable to command military officers and switched to civilian officials. Gradually, the civilian officials were not effective. Hong Chengqian began to reuse eunuchs. Then, he found that the eunuchs were even worse. The children were all brought back, and Shen Lian was also brought back by the way.
In Shen Lian's public house.
Qin Geng stood shyly.
After living for a long time, my acting skills have already reached the level of perfection. Not to mention being shy, even baby Qin Geng can act well.
"Your name is Qin Hao?"
"yes"
Shen Lian stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "With your appearance, you must be Lao Qin's grandson."
Qin Geng didn't change his appearance, he still used his previous face.
This is not a big deal.
It has been decades, and what he looked like when he was a teenager is still blurry even to the people around him.
“Looks really alike”
Shen Lian sighed.
Now, I didn't recognize it.
"How did Lao Qin die? He was still fine half a year ago."
Shen Lian looked puzzled.
When it came to this issue, Qin Geng became angry and spent a month planning a vigorous plot in which a man from a public family surrendered to his neighbors, defended his family and country, and died in battle.
When the execution was about to take place, I remembered that I, a slanderous person, suddenly became passionate. It was so nonsense.
So he changed it to forcefully breaking through the realm and dying. Qin Geng realized how he could forcefully break through the level.
After that, Qin Geng thought of several ways to die, but none of them were satisfactory.
I simply didn’t think about it anymore and came back directly.
Qin Geng said with a tearful tone: "My grandfather was killed by his enemies. Half a year ago, my grandfather suddenly found me and told me some of his funeral affairs. He said that if he didn't come back within half a year, he was killed."
Shen Lian did not have any doubts and sighed: "There is no one who can't offend anyone in Tianlao. After I retreated, I was blocked by my enemies six times."
Then, Shen Lian said: "It's not impossible for you to fill Qin Geng's seat. Do you understand the rules?"
According to the rules of the heavenly prison, anyone who wants to make up for the vacancy of jailers must take three hundred taels of silver.
"clear"
Qin Geng handed over the three hundred taels of silver notes he had prepared in advance.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "You really understand. It was Lao Qin who taught you, right?"
Qin Geng rubbed his hands and nodded shyly.
"As shy as my grandfather when he was young"
After Shen Lian finished speaking, he said seriously: "In the prison, you have to be more ruthless, even if you pretend to be ruthless, otherwise you will not be able to suppress the most vicious or cunning prisoners."
"clear"
Qin Geng put on a look that was forcibly cold and uncharacteristic.
"Not in a hurry."
"Um"
"Get out"
"Resign from humble position"
Qin Geng went out and closed the door.
Shen Lian sighed: "After all, I survived to the end."
Outside the door, Qin Geng almost laughed out loud.
"At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, there are only a few close friends. A pot of turbid wine is all that's left, so don't dream tonight..."
Shen Lian started singing.
Qin Geng left quickly, otherwise he would really laugh.
With money and connections, Shen Lian was very efficient and hired Qin Geng on the same day.
Then, the entire Tianlao people came to see Qin Geng.
Only a few of them just said hello, most of them said they wanted to take care of Qin Geng.
Among them, six or seven others asked Qin Geng if he was married. Qin Geng said no, and they all expressed that they wanted to marry their female relatives to Qin Geng.
It was the first time Qin Geng knew that he was so popular.
During dinner.
Qin Geng carried the barrel and came to Cell No. 7.
The person locked inside turned out to be the long-legged general Zhao Ruilong.
Different from ten years ago, Zhao Ruilong has not only aged a lot, but his treatment has also dropped significantly. The smell of feces and urine, the smell of sweat, the smell of bad breath, and some indescribable smells hit my face.
The jailer who was being tortured turned around and said to Qin Geng: "In order to make money for his family, this courageous gangster has hardened his bones."
Qin Geng smiled, took out a pot of wine, and in the eyes of the jailer's doubts, he used his innate energy to drive the life and death talisman into Zhao Ruilong's body.
After a while, Zhao Ruilong revealed the location where the money was hidden.
The jailers all looked at Qin Geng with ghostly eyes.
This newcomer must be very capable.
Qin Geng explained: "This is the life and death talisman passed down to me by my grandfather."
The jailers showed a surprised expression, it turned out to be a life and death talisman.
Back then, Qin Geng's life and death talisman was unique in the sky prison, and no prisoner could resist it no matter how hard his bones were.
Qin Geng stepped forward and took away the life and death talisman from Zhao Ruilong little by little, otherwise, the other party would wake up in pain later.
"The Emperor fell into the water, did you know?"
A jailer's voice came from behind.
"have no idea"
“Heard something”
The jailer chuckled softly: "Many officials are preparing to jointly impeach Murong Chong, the commander of the Forbidden Army, for his failure to protect him. It would be fine if the emperor is fine, but if something happens, it will be useless no matter how beautiful Mr. Murong is."
The jailers laughed maliciously.
There are not a few people in the capital who know about Murong Chong and Hong Chengqian's affairs.
Qin Geng frowned. Whose child is this jailer? How dare he say anything in public.
What Qin Geng didn't know was that the court had recently stopped paying wages for the prison, and the jailers were very angry.
"How brave you are to slander the Emperor's ministers in private."
A righteous and awe-inspiring voice sounded.
Qin Geng turned around and saw that the person coming was Murong Bo, the commander of Tianlao City.
Qin Geng knew that this man was Murong Chong's clan brother.
"The little man's heart has been deceived by lard, please forgive me."
The jailer who just said Murong Chong quickly knelt down to plead guilty.
Murong Bo ignored this man, pointed at the other jailer and said, "You are laughing."
The pointed jailer knelt down, trembling like chaff.
"You laughed too, and you..."
After a while, everyone except Qin Geng knelt down.
These days, eating melon is also illegal.
"Take them all away"
Murong Bo waved his hand.
The jailers were taken away by the Tianlao Army and put in cells.
Qin Geng: "..."
On the first day of taking office, colleagues were cleared.
No one will believe it.
Murong Bo came to Qin Geng and said with a smile: "Are you Qin Geng's grandson?"
"Exactly"
Qin Geng handed over his hand.
"You are very good. You are not ignorant like them."
"My grandfather taught me to work hard and be honest."
"Those are the words of your grandfather."
Murong Bo smiled.
Then he said: "Also, we must understand the difficulties of the court. The court really has no money to pay wages."
Qin Geng suddenly realized, no wonder the jailers were so angry, it turned out that they were not being paid.
Then I was annoyed. It turned out that I had to pay to go to work.
Murong Bo glanced at Zhao Ruilong, who was already unconscious, and asked, "Have you found out where the money was hidden?"
"In his well"
"I said I couldn't find it. It turned out to be in his well. Come on, come with me to search his house."
Qin Geng was not surprised. Because he was Murong Chong's clan brother, he had more than one official position. Searching homes, interrogating cases...he can get involved.
