Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 45: Lost treasure

The topographical structure of Jinchuan Island and Jiangdao prison, Lin Fu had already obtained detailed information from the commissioner. Jiangdao prison was built within the flood peak line during the flood season. Walls surround it. On the outside of the sturdy and tall masonry wall, another low earth wall was built on the east, west and north sides. A narrow space was left between the earth wall and the wall, which was used as a passage for the guards to pass through, and it was also a patrol road.

The top and bottom of the walls are covered with thorns, making the entire Jiangdao prison look like a castle.

In addition to the prison cell, the prison hall is also built within the high wall, which will also be the place where Lin Fu will perform official business and daily life on the island in the future.

Located within the high wall and at the southern end of the prison cell, the prison hall is a building complex consisting of four courtyards. The front yard is the official office. There are three main halls and four classrooms in the front yard. After Lin Fu takes office, he will work here on a daily basis. Different from the prison in the city, although there are no clear regulations for the prison officers, prison officers, and squad leaders in Jiangdao prison, because of the inconvenience of going to and from the city, they have to be on duty in the prison for a long time. residence. Lin Fu occupied an intermediate courtyard alone, and other scribes, prison officials, and class leaders lived in the backyard. The last yard to enter is the Wuzu Yuan, where the guards and the servants live.

There is also a tall wall between the prison hall and the prison cell. Behind the wall is the main building of Jiangdao Prison. There is a prison temple, a worship hall, a kitchen, two outer prisons, and three inner prisons in the prison cell. Here, there is also a lower house, which is a place for the relatives of the convicted criminals to visit the prison.

Generally speaking, the special inner prison is used to detain felons and criminals, which is convenient for doubling martial law. There is also a wall surrounding the inner prison in the innermost layer. However, after the prison city proposal was rejected, Jiangdao Prison detained ordinary prisoners who had no money to redeem their crimes. In addition, the entire Jiangdao Prison was designed and constructed according to the standard of 2,000 prisoners. There are more than 200 people, so the inner prison has been empty and unused.

Lin Fu walked into the high wall and did not go to the front yard where he was in charge of official business, but went directly to the middle yard where he was going to move in. Because the former prison officer Ge Zuxin was busy walking, the middle yard at this time was a little messy, and plants were planted under the courtyard. Two old plums, just in the season when the plum blossoms are blooming, the plum blossoms on the branches are scattered on the ground, and people have stepped on dozens of feet viciously.

Lin Bie walked around the prison hall and returned to the middle courtyard. He smiled and said to Zhao Hu who was beside him: "It seems that someone is not happy that we came here..." Then he asked a clerk who followed them into the courtyard. , "It's a pity, there is not much to see in the high wall, Zhou Shuban, don't you think?"

The other prison guards and class leaders followed Lin Fu's instructions to perform their duties, but the handover with Ge Zuxin just now was too simple, and they were afraid that they would touch the new boss, so they recommended Zhou Shide, the secretary, to come over to serve them carefully, and put Jiang Dao in jail for a little more. The detailed situation will be introduced and explained to the new boss at any time.

In addition to the prisoners, there are more than 200 officers and soldiers in Jiangdao Prison. Among them, it can be said that there are two clerks, five prison guards, one miscellaneous guard, and two prison guards. A small school for pawns; since it was inconvenient for prisoners to be sent to the hospital when they were sick or to call a doctor for treatment, there was another medical officer.

Zhou Shide, the secretary of the book office, was born as a scholar, and he managed to obtain this low-ranking official position. He has been loyal to his duties for seven or eight years, but he is the person who is most familiar with prison affairs in this Jiangdao prison, so he was introduced to everyone to follow the new boss deal with.

When Zhou Shide saw that Lin Fu had just entered the yard, he picked on the former prison officer's fault and said, "Lord Lin has been thinking a lot. The wind was a bit stronger last night. Knowing that Lord Lin was coming today, Lord Ge specially asked people to clean up the middle courtyard. Some, there are too many people running around... I will immediately clean the courtyard again."

"Don't bother others," Lin Fu interrupted Zhou Shide. "Before the meal in the prison room, you can go in with me and watch the prison room..."

Zhou Shide saw that Lin Fu had asked everyone to go their separate ways. He suddenly proposed to enter the prison cell for inspection. He thought that this young boss seems to be difficult to serve. Anyway, everyone will not slack off these days, and they are not afraid of Lin The question of how big a surprise attack can be, said: "After waiting for the job, take the prison roster and lead the adults in to check..."

When Zhou Shide came over with the prison roster, Sun Geng, another head of the book office, Jiang Jin, the junior military officer who was on leave today, and Sun Cunsi, the prison medical officer, all followed him. Lin Fu didn't say anything. It was the first time he entered the cell. If they didn't follow up, they would despise his new boss.

Before coming here, Lin Fu had read the list of Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng, Jiang Jin, and others. Changsun Geng was also a scholar, and Jiang Jin and another prison guard, Cao Shang, were both rank nine martial artists. The Dayue Dynasty respected the culture and suppressed the martial arts, not to mention that Lin Fu had eaten two of the ninth-rank military pawns from the ninth-rank prison officer, that is, Lin Fu was not on the island, and it was also the two bookkeepers Zhou Shide and Changsun Geng. It was Jiang Jin's turn and Cao Sang's turn.

Zhao Hu was a servant brought by Lin Fu, not an official in Jiangdao prison. As a rule, he was strictly forbidden to walk into the second wall.

Before Lin Bie didn't eat and live the people in Jiangdao prison, he naturally couldn't break the rules and let Zhao Hu stay in the yard to clean up the place where they were going to spend the night today. He led Zhou Shide, Chang Sun Geng, and Jiang Jin three. The person walked straight to the cell, and Cao Sundexin was waiting in front of the second door to the cell. Except for the general guard, the other five cell heads were waiting in the cell. No matter what they thought in their hearts, their faces were very respectful and gentle.

Since the prisoners are far from full and there are no felons, only one of the five cells is actually used. In the cold winter, the stench of the prison cells still lingers on the nostrils. Each room may hold five or six people, or seven or eight people. Although it is a cold winter, the prison beds are only covered with straw mats, and straw felts are used as bedding. Most of the winter uniforms worn by prisoners were torn cotton and flocked, and were greasy and greasy.

It's not that the former prison officer and the prison officers are greedy, but all the prisons in the Dayuet Dynasty are like this.

The prisoners were very indifferent to the arrival of the new chief of Jiangdao Prison. The head of the prison team called his name before standing in front of the cell door. Zhou Shide and Chang Sun Geng pointed to the roster and explained to Lin Fu what crime was committed in this prison, Should be in prison for a few years, and a few more years to be released.

More than two hundred prisoners watched one by one, and when it was time for the prison cell to open for dinner, Lin Fu stood in front of the women's cell and watched the officers in the cell serve meals to the prisoners.

Prison food was originally a big expense in Jiangdao Prison. It was provided to the Minister of Xuanfu Envoy as needed every year. Two meals a day were provided to prisoners with copper spoons with a custom-made capacity of half a liter. Calculated on the basis of two hundred prisoners, about four hundred stone of rice and grain are needed every year, and the food and silver of the guards and guards will naturally be calculated separately. It is said that prison food should be the biggest expense of Jiangdao prison, but because the prison is far from full, the food and silver of the guards and guards are far more than the prison food.

Zhou Shide's book office and class leader's annual labor and food silver plus each can be converted into twelve or three taels of silver each year. Ordinary prison guards and handymen can get five or six taels of silver each year. Even Lin Fu's regular salary can only be discounted every year. For eighteen taels of snowflake silver.

Lin Fu tasted the prisoner's rice, which was steamed by Chen Liang and miscellaneous millet, and it was difficult to swallow. In addition to meals, prisoners were also given a scoop of soup for each meal. Lin Fu took two sips of the soup with a spoon. The two large wooden barrels that were brought into the cell had a few leafy vegetables floating. There was no oil star. After two sips, there was almost no salty taste. Lin Fu didn't say anything. The spoon was returned to the guard, who asked the guard to feed the female prisoners in the women's cell.

These are old rules. Lin Fu has a very thorough understanding of the current prison affairs from Zhao Shuhan. Zhou Shide and Changsun Geng, at least today, did not dare to use any tricks to deduct prisoners' food.

Lin Fu glanced at the female prisoners in the cell through the cell door again. Compared with the indifference of the male prisoners in the male cell, the forty or fifty female prisoners in the female cell were even more sluggish, disheveled, and their clothes were tattered.

According to the laws of Da Viet, except for a few crimes such as capital crime and rape, where women are imprisoned for a few crimes, all other women criminals are brought back to custody by their husbands or relatives. This is mainly to prevent women from being humiliated in prison.

Jiangdao Prison does not hold death row prisoners, and most of the female prisoners are sent to the government for the crime of rape/prostitution. In addition to the head of the female prison, there are also six female prisoners in the prison to supervise the female prisoners.

Lin Fu inspected the cell and didn't say much. After confirming that the actual number of people in prison was compared with the roster, he left the cell. The head of the handyman class caught up to ask Lin Fu if he wanted to eat immediately, and he asked him to immediately let him go. When sent to the intermediate court, Lin Fu nodded and agreed. As a chief, he would naturally enjoy some privileges, otherwise these subordinates would be uncomfortable.

Zhao Hu was sweeping the fallen plums in the yard into the dustpan. Seeing Lin Bie coming back with his hands behind his back, he asked, "Have you seen it?"

"Prisons all over the world look like this, and there's not much to say for a while, and I'll have to look at it for two more days," Lin Bie nodded. It was difficult to find out what was going on at first. He pointed to the plum petals in the dustpan and said, "These are Don't dump the plums outside, just pile them on the corner of the wall, maybe there is some fragrance... There will be a boat coming to the island early tomorrow morning, you go back to the city, ask Lin Jingzhong to allocate some money, hire a boatman and prepare a boat at the mouth of Jinchuan River. "

In order to prevent prisoners from taking the boat and escaping, it is forbidden to prepare boats at the dock on the island. Lin Fu knew that this rule was of no use. Prisoners could escape from the high wall and swim as far as a mile to reach the south bank of the river. Why do they need a boat? run away? It's just that if this rule is to be changed, it needs to be submitted to the Prosecutor's Office for approval.

There is no wharf at the mouth of the Jinchuan River. If you want to use a boat on the island, you need to send a boat from the Jiuweng Bridge wharf at a distance of seventeen or eight miles. If a place is far away, and another Lin Tie is in an emergency on the island, it is impossible to notify the Jiuweng Bridge wharf in time. For the boat, Lin Fu thought about asking Lin Jingzhong to prepare a boat at the mouth of the river a mile away. Even if the boat is to be used at night, the boat can be transferred to use it by lighting a torch and swinging it a few times.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate. Lin Fu remembered that the head of the handyman class just said that he would deliver meals to the courtyard, but he felt that the footsteps were light and not like a man walking around. He looked back suspiciously, but saw two people. A beautiful young woman walked in with a lacquer box, and the aroma of food wafted out of the lacquer box.

"Sir Prisoner..." The two young women bowed to Lin Fu, and said, "Du Bantou asked to deliver a meal to Master Prisoner." Without Lin Fu's instructions, they carried the lunch box into the restaurant. I went to put food in the west wing.

"Come on," Lin Bie raised his brows slightly as he watched the two beautiful young women walk into the west wing, and called in the clerk who was on duty at the gate, "call the office and class leaders who are not on duty to my yard. !"

Zhou Shide, Chang Sun Geng and others rushed over in a blink of an eye~www.wuxiax.com~ Lin Fu looked at them gloomily, pointed at the two beautiful young women, and asked, "What's wrong with them? Inside the high wall, In addition to the female prison, can you use servants?"

"Sir, you misunderstood, they are not the servants you invited..." Zhou Shide hurriedly explained.

"Who are they?" Lin Bie stared at Zhou Shide.

"They are..." Zhou Shide stared blankly at Lin Bing, and said bravely, "The female prisoner is in prison, and the hard labor makes him know to repent. These two are prisoners in the female prison, and it is hard labor to be summoned to serve the adults. "

"Is that so? It seems that I've been thinking too much. The high walls must not be broken. The rules allow female relatives to come in. Anyone of you who wants to take leave of absence and return to the city to save relatives, you can tell me..." Lin Bie glanced at Zhou Shide and the eldest grandson Geng and the class leaders asked again, "Then do you use female prisoners as hard labor?"

"How dare we? This is your blessing, Lord." Zhou Shide felt relieved when he saw that Lin Fu was no longer pursuing this matter. "Then I won't disturb the adults' meal."

"Oh, by the way, Changsun's book office is in charge of the prison food and prison clothes. You stay and dine with me. I have something to ask you." Lin Fu named Changsun Geng to stay, and asked the two young women to serve as prisoners and servants to the eldest grandson. After Geng Duo prepared a pair of bowls and chopsticks, he and the others all withdrew first.

After everyone else had left the yard, Lin Fu gave Zhao Hu a wink and said, "Go and watch in the yard, don't let other people get close to the house," put the chopsticks on the table, stared at Chang Sun Geng and said, "Eldest grandson Shuban, I saw your expression just now, you seem to have something to tell me, I will leave the others, what do you want to tell me?"

Changsun Geng still hesitated, and said, "The two female prisoners who were summoned to serve as hard labor are also beautiful, and they are only used as maids. Don't you feel that it is a bit of a waste of treasures?" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
