Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Some people say that this place is the underworld. People like us are ghosts in the Yama Palace,, obviously! This is a slander that people who do not know us are extremely irresponsible to us! Such prejudices and misunderstandings are painful for those of us who work hard and are faithful to our duties. ”
The speaker was dressed in a pale blue soap suit, with a lacquered crown slightly larger than his head, an old red cloth ribbon tied around his waist, and a pair of white-faced black-faced straight boots that didn't fit well.
However, he stood in the dark cell of Xuanzi No. 1 Prison, the main prison of the Beijing City Criminal Department, and looked at these prisoners who had just been put into the cell, but his tone and demeanor were humble, like a young man soliciting business on the "Spring Breeze Proud Building", but a sweat towel was missing from his shoulder.
He was young, the age of transition from teenager to youth. The stature is not tall or short, the body is moderate, and the appearance is only middle-upper, but the pair of willow-like eyebrows make a pair of eyes extremely smart, especially his mouth with a clear lip line and lips like a diamond, which makes him reveal a bit of red lips and white teeth.
He smiled shallowly, gentle as a virgin: "The little surname is Ye, Ye Xiaotian, he was in the prison when he was three years old, and when he was sixteen years old, he officially took over my father's class and became a guard of the No. 1 prison of this Xuanzi." Now it is the eighth year of Wanli, and he has been the emperor for three years, thanks to the appreciation of the prison lord, and now he is the head of the No. 1 prison. Xiaotian, I have a pure temperament......"
Ye Xiaotian boasted that as soon as he said this, a jailer in his early thirties walked quickly to his side and whispered to his ear: "Boss, someone is making trouble, thinking that our food is poor, and that the bedding is damp, you see......"
Ye Xiaotian turned his head slightly and asked in a low voice, "Which bastard who doesn't open his eyes dares to play tricks in a place like ours?" ”
The jailer replied in a low voice: "It is Guan Yun of the right temple of the original Dali Temple." ”
Ye Xiaotian asked again: "Have you figured out his details?" ”
The jailer said: "He was greedy for more than 50,000 taels of silver, and the person who was arrested by Lord Fu personally nodded, and his backstage was also arrested, and he didn't expect to go out again." ”
Ye Xiaotian nodded, slightly swept the prisoners who had just been locked in the cells left and right, his smile was still quiet, and the voice of the mouth was more beautiful than that of many girls, and the lip line was clearer than that only the jailer standing beside him could hear it.
"This group of corrupt officials who have children and no assholes, when Hong Wuye was sixty taels of silver, it was enough to peel off his skin, and now he is embezzling fifty thousand taels of silver, and he still has to talk about this and that, is this prison where he can enjoy his old age? It really gave him face. Since he didn't feel comfortable sleeping on the kang, he was put in an empty cell at the end of the prison and slept on the haystack like a pig, and he was given a nest and a bowl of water a day, so that he could not starve to death. ”
The jailer said worriedly, "Chief, what if he really wants to kill himself?" ”
Ye Xiaotian sneered: "People who are still poor and exquisite in this place are willing to die. You don't have to beat him, you don't have to scold him, just hang it out, when he is willing to give in, and then punish him for emptying the toilet for a month, I don't believe that I can't cure him! ”
The jailer smiled darkly and took the order.
Ye Xiaotian coughed, facing the prisoners who had just been imprisoned, his smile was like a spring breeze, and his voice was even more gentle and amiable: "Everyone, you are all officials and masters who live in eight seats and have jade clothes and food, let's just say that they have fallen to this, they are all great nobles, Xiaotian will take care of them wholeheartedly, so that you masters will feel like they are going home in my Xuanzi No. 1 prison." ”
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he smiled and made a circle to them, and his eyes swept away, just like appearing on the corner stage, just one glance, he took care of every "official", and then Shi Shiran walked away, his demeanor and demeanor were like a patriarch inspecting his home.

The prison of the Criminal Department, commonly known as the heavenly prison. The prison is divided into four prisons, and the Xuanzi prison is guarded by the officials who were imprisoned because of "Brother Kong Fang", and most of them are fat and fart oil crotch masters, and the Xuanzi prison is also the place with the most oil and water in the prison.
However, the place where officials are held is not as good as ordinary prisons, and it is difficult to say whether those who are still prisoners today will be able to reinstate themselves tomorrow. Moreover, even if they are imprisoned, the identity of the official is different from that of ordinary prisoners, and if anyone can't think of committing suicide or self-harm, the jailers will be unlucky.
But we must blindly indulge them, let them be powerful, and even collude with internal and external parties, collude with information, and those who are not good as jailers will still be unlucky. It is the most difficult thing to do with the prison guards, and the cell bosses are even more difficult to do, and they have to have ten means to deal with this group of people.
Ye Xiaotian took his father's mission at the age of sixteen and became a jailer in the No. 1 prison of Xuanzi, and became the cell boss in just three years, and his methods can be seen.
On weekdays, there are new prisoners, and there are jailers who introduce the situation in the prison to him, Ye Xiaotian does not have to come forward in person, but in the first two months, the sixth section sent a letter to Liu Fenghui, the head of the household section in the matter, to impeach the two scourges of the Beijing Division: one is that the county magistrate has destroyed the people's homes; The second is that the nobles and relatives have embezzled the people's interests, so that the people are poor and miserable.
Emperor Wanli attached great importance to this recital, and immediately issued an edict ordering the inventory of the internal treasury bureau and other items, and discretionary reductions to reduce the burden of forced labor on the people. At the same time, he ordered the three law divisions to strictly investigate the illegal acts of the officials and noble relatives who harmed the people, so there was such a group of people in the prison, and more than ten criminal officials were imprisoned at once, Ye Xiaotian attached great importance to it, so he showed up to say the law and took care of it in person.
"Little brother, the old man has carefully studied the Western astrology you brought last time, and he has a lot of experience, come on, let the old man calculate it for you."
Ye Xiaotian was walking out, and a greeting suddenly came from the cell next to him, and at the same time, a withered branch-like arm poked out of the wooden fence, swinging enthusiastically at him.
The cell's wooden fence was made of thick logs, and the new paint peeled off to reveal layers of cracked old lacquer inside, silently announcing its age. The gap between the fences was only a palm's width, but the prisoner's thin face seemed to be able to emerge from the fence effortlessly.
He had an old face, sunken cheeks, and wore a very dirty prison suit, which was so wrinkled that it was almost impossible to see the undertone. The white on the head is sparse, almost bald, and only a few whites are still stubbornly clinging to the flesh-red scalp, ** upright.
This bald old man's name is Yang Lin, a member of the official residence department, as an official in charge of officials, when he was in office, he could be said to have to be windy and rainy, but unfortunately he became a prisoner at one time, just because he was also involved in some big people behind him, and he was imprisoned for three years and was never sentenced.
This Yang Lin has always been obsessed with occult arts, and he didn't have much time to study when he was an official, and he has been doing nothing in prison for the past three years, studying Zhou Yi Guigu every day, but he has become more and more addicted to these miraculous things, so that he is a little nervous, and he is respected by the jailers and prisoners as 'God Stick'. ’
Yang Shenstick always wanted to find someone to try his skills, but the jailers and prisoners had never been interested in his nonsense, so his only test was Ye Xiaotian. Touching the bones, divination, looking at the face, and criticizing the eight-character ......, all tried on Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian didn't believe his nonsense either, but he still made an interested appearance and squatted down in front of Yang Lin.
If these prisoners, especially those who have not yet been sentenced, have anything to do, as the cell leader, he will inevitably be responsible for dereliction of duty, so Ye Xiaotian always racks his brains for the prisoners who have the idea of committing suicide, so that they can live.
This Yang Lin is already destined to be impossible to escape, the difference is only in the early and late death, it depends on the fight of the big people above. Since he was sure that he could not get away with his crimes, even his family stopped visiting, and he could not be loved.
For such a person, abuse and punishment can only promote his early death, and good wine and tea cannot become the driving force for him to live, fortunately, he likes to study occult arts, Ye Xiaotian did what he liked, and collected many books in this area for him, Yang Lin is now so obsessed with occult arts, it is not without Ye Xiaotian's contribution to the trouble.
Ye Xiaotian squatted down in front of the prison door, pretending to be full of interest, and said, "Lord Yang has already learned from research?" Ha, it's really a master, I heard the Western missionary say that this constellation technique calculated by the solar calendar is difficult for us Orientals to study and understand. ”
Yang Lin stroked his sparse beard and said proudly: "The old man is very knowledgeable, and the Western constellation technique is more than one level worse than my Middle-earth Zhou Yi technique, if there is anything I don't understand, come on, come on, quickly report your birthday." ”
Ye Xiaotian cooperatively said the eight characters of his birthday, and Yang Dashenzhu immediately fell into deep thought, and said, "Hmm, I'll convert your birth date to the Western calendar first......
Yang Lin pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, and suddenly his expression perked up, and he said, "There is!" As for you, according to the eight characters of your birth, you should belong to Gemini, Gemini people are very clever, but they are two sides of the same body in temperament: yin and yang, and mutual growth and decline. Good and evil, happy and melancholy, gentle and cruel all in one, complex, complex......"
When Yang Lin said this, he swayed his bald head again and again, as a good listener, Ye Xiaotian lost no time in making up a sentence: "So, I don't know what the fate of the kid is?" ”
At this moment, a very elegant and clear voice suddenly came from the cell next to him: "Xiao Yezi ......" There is business coming to the door, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hand to let Yang Lin stop, rushed over, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Huang Shilang, I don't know what the boss commands?" ”
Huang Shilang took out some loose silver and handed it out from the fence gate, and said slowly: "Bother Ye Tou'er to buy me a 'Tianfu' sauce elbow, the knife work should be finer, and then a 'bone-piercing' roast chicken, which should be just out of the pot." What is this wine...... It's still a good carving, and it will take more than five years. ”
"Okay! Wait a minute, the kid will be back shortly. ”
Ye Xiaotian took the loose silver and checked it, knowing that there would be a lot of errand money left after buying the wine and meat that Huang Shilang wanted, but he didn't expect that he would be able to make a small profit before he handed over the shift today, and when he walked out, even his steps were much lighter.
Guarding the courtyard with high walls of Xuanzi No. 1 Prison, circling around the officials who have fallen off the horse, guarding, frightening, coaxing, cheating, and getting a little money, this is Ye Xiaotian's happy life every day. He thought that such a "good life" could be lived for a lifetime, but he didn't expect that this was his last day in prison.
