Chapter 60 Don't let merit go
It's too hard to get in, but it's much easier to get out, wait!" Chai Erfu suddenly felt as if he had caught a little thought.
He asked for the wardens' badges and chest ties, and he was entering the prison because the wardens would barely leave the prison - even if they did, it was from the teleportation circle, not the prison gates. But what if the warden is led out of the prison? Thinking of this, Chai Erfu's thinking suddenly became clear.
The simplest and most effective way to lure the warden out of prison should be an external attack.
The warden has three major responsibilities, in addition to being responsible for managing the prison and inculcating the prisoners, the more important thing is to ensure the safety of the prison - no one inside can come out, and no one outside can enter.
Of course, there is a magic circle in the Folding Tongue Secret Prison, in addition to the illusion of concealment, there are also defensive attacks, but such a large prison, if the magic circle is open for a long time, the consumption of magic crystals is amazing, although the legal management department is not bad for money, but the magic crystals can't be so wasted, not to mention that the security record here has always been very good. So in addition to the gate, at the windows of several hidden lighting rock walls, which are the places where the prisoners let out the wind and sun, there are usually only that very simple illusions and defensive circles, which are energy-saving. Of course, the legal management department will not just sit back and watch such a big hidden danger for the sake of energy saving, as long as the energy-saving defense circle can be delayed a little, the legal guards on duty can quickly open the real main defense circle.
According to the provisions of the Ministry's current "Prison Management Code," in the event of a sudden attack from the outside, the first step is to open the main defensive array to ensure that no one is lost, and the second step is to determine the situation, who the external enemy is, and what is the strength? The third step is to formulate a strategy; if the prisoners are not strong, then the prison will solve the problem on their own, and if the enemy is very strong, it is estimated that the three prison wardens will not be able to suppress it. Then call for help urgently, and then defend with all your might, delay, and wait for reinforcements to arrive through the teleportation circle.
Therefore, if someone attacks, and then the wardens determine that the threat is not big or small, and the guards can't handle it, and they don't want reinforcements from the ministry, then naturally the warden will directly intervene.
Chai Erfu's breathing suddenly became faster, not nervous but excited, and he suddenly felt that an opportunity had appeared, an opportunity to solve the hidden danger in his heart.
Most people in most parts of the Tambro Continent should be asleep by now, and in an era when lighting was not cheap, people were used to setting aside the time of the night for sleep.
Except for those who had to stay awake, for example, Warden Ji Yuan.
The prison is open around the clock, and during the long quiet nights, three wardens take turns in charge of management and defence.
Today, it is the rotation of Warden Ji Yuan.
Night duty must be boring, let alone night duty in prison. If it were a prison for secular magistrates and kings, there would be some indescribable entertainment. But this is a mage prison, even for prisoners, the dignity of mages is protected here, although freedom of movement is restricted, but there will be no such flowers and plants.
But boredom didn't seem to have any effect on Prison Director Ji's mood, he actually took the initiative to patrol the prison area, although the two legal guards were muttering in their hearts, they didn't dare to slack off and hurry up with the warden's pace.
If it's fast, it's ten months, and if it's slow, it's about to be transferred, this is the latest news that Prison Director Ji Yi got from his boss, which is why he is in a good mood.
Prison Director Ji Yu never thought of taking over the position of warden, and there is a convention in the committee: prison wardens are always transferred from the ministry, not promoted from within, and no one can break this convention.
The position of warden is definitely not his turn, but the power of the warden can be fought for.
The subordinate prisons basically follow the same structure of authority: a warden from the Department of Health and Law, who is responsible for prison security, a warden from the Department of Justice, who is responsible for prison operations, and a warden from an uncertain background, who is in charge of the overall situation and is responsible for corrections. The former is difficult to show its responsibility, and naturally no one will fight. And the latter two, just listening to the rights and responsibilities, can be determined, and it is strange that they can be in peace.
In order to balance the two departments, the selection of the wardens was decided by several ministers, who may come from the fourth room or from the other eleven departments, and there is even an unwritten convention that someone from the same housing department is never consecutively appointed as the warden. Therefore, although the warden is high-ranking and powerful, he is always parachuted in, and he has no roots in the prison, and it is difficult to form a dictatorial authority. However, if you run into a solid warden, it will be difficult to maintain this balance.
Prison Director Kui Edian belongs to this kind of solid figure, he is from the Prime Minister's Office, which means that if he can get to this position, he must be nodded by Minister Yingting Mou, who is directly in charge of the Prime Minister's Office. In addition, Kui E is a high priest, with a high administrative level, and the prime minister's background is bound to be in charge of affairs, partnering with this kind of warden, Ji Yuan's prison warden in the past two years can be said to be so depressed that he has the urge to vomit blood from time to time.
For example, the work of prison procurement must logically fall under the jurisdiction of prison operations, and naturally the director in charge of the prison should guide the work and designate a specific person in charge. But not long after Kui'e arrived as the warden, he found an excuse to remove the original prison procurement office and replaced it with the current Chai Erfu, which is also the first shot for Kui'e to show the image of a strong warden. When Ji Yu took over a year later, Kui'e was in a big situation, and it was not something that the newly established prison director could shake at all.
And right now, Kui'e, who has been riding on his head for two years, is about to be transferred, although he doesn't know who the new warden will be, but considering the warden's origin principle, the new warden can basically be sure that he is not Minister Yingtingmu's person. This means that he can use this opportunity to regain power that he has lost for two years.
He was ready to deliver his "first shot" at the right time for the arrival of the new warden. Although the time for this cannon has not yet been set, the target has already been determined - of course, it is the position of the supervision and procurement office, Chai Erfu that guy respects himself on the surface, but he lacks real "respect" in private, of course, he did it right, so it is natural for me to move him - everyone is in their own position, doing what should be done, and it has nothing to do with personal relationships.
There was a loud rumbling sound, which woke up Warden Ji Yu, who was immersed in the excitement of impatience for the future, this familiar and unfamiliar voice is??
Is it the sound of rocks exploding and splashing, is this? Before he could think about it, a strong wave of magic patterns came from the palm of his left palm, and Ji Yu raised his hand to see that it was a warning that the defensive magic circle was attacked. Luckily, I thought it was an explosion inside the prison, no!! It was the enemy who destroyed the defense circle and the rock wall together!
Ji Yu's scalp tingled for a while, and the brain's ability to think seemed to disappear in an instant. He never imagined that the Folding Tongue Secret Prison, which had not had a security problem for more than ten years, would be broken by someone at once on the night of his duty. And judging from the sound, the place that was broken was only fifty steps away from him. Who was the other party? How many people were there, and why didn't the magic circles and spells that monitored the hiding have not worked? But time did not allow him to think about it, and a legal guard ran up to him and made a brief salute - the Ministry of Justice stipulates that when a subordinate meets a superior, he should salute, and when a subordinate meets his direct superior, he should salute, and only in an emergency such as a battle, the subordinate or subordinate only needs to make a simple salute.
"It was reported that Room 2 was broken by an outside invasion, and the Perception Circle found that there was only one person around the rock wall, and that person was approaching, but did not seem to be in a hurry to break into the prison directly. This legal guard has been in the past four years, and his seniority here is still above the three prison wardens, although it is the first time he has encountered this kind of external attack, he has also behaved quite calmly, and explained the current situation clearly in a concise manner.
What to do? Ji Yu was also asking himself the same question, he was not frightened, but he needed time to think and make trade-offs for himself.
There is only one person on the other side, and of course there is no need to ask the ministry for help, and the prison can solve it by its own strength. But are there three wardens here, who will go up if one is on it, or will three go up together?
Prison Director Ji Yu is not an arrogant and arrogant person, if you want to talk about fighting, he, the warden from the Law Department, is definitely not as good as the other two, Kui E is a blue-collar mage, and his mana cultivation is the highest, although Huo Lun Clam is a green-collar man, he is from the three major armed forces departments, and his actual combat power is definitely above himself. If you rush out like this, it will be a great irresponsibility to yourself, to the prison security, and to the honor of the Ministry of Legal Affairs. Since the enemy did not attack, the safest thing to do is to wait for the two wardens to attack again, but he is the warden on duty, and in the face of an enemy, he has to wait for the other wardens to join forces before he dares to meet him......
Prison Captain Ji Yu looked at the three guards beside him, none of them were his people, as a prison warden, how could there be seven or eight obedient people among the forty or fifty subordinates, but with such a strong warden, who would want to be too close to him, the warden?
This is another trouble of Prison Commander Ji Yu -- if there are not enough people in his hands, who will take the position of the prison procurement? Although the Fa Shi guards below do not know the exact time of the warden's transfer, the transfer is a common practice, and they should have a plan in their hearts, right? Even if it is the warden's subordinates, it is estimated that the hearts of the people are fluctuating. If I take down the intruders alone tonight, whether it is in front of the boss or in front of this group of little guards, it will be a signal for me to rise strongly, and with a dozen or so people under my hands, I will have enough capital to take back the power that belongs to me.
"I'll go out to meet the enemy, and when I go out, you can open the defensive array, don't let the enemy take the opportunity to rush in," Warden Ji Yu instructed as he walked towards the second activity room.
The main defensive circle of the Folding Tongue Secret Prison is two-way, once it is opened, entry and exit are forbidden - this defensive circle is not only used to defend against foreign enemies, but also to prevent prisoners from escaping, but this time, Prison Director Ji Yu plans to use it to isolate others from competing with him for this credit.
