Zhao Hu returned to the island before nightfall, and under the personal intervention of Gu Wuchen, he was secretly arrested by Ge Zuxin, the former prison officer, on his way back to his hometown. In order to prevent the news from leaking, he did not return to Jiangning City after the arrest of the person, and borrowed a local secret interrogation with Chen / Yuan Liang of Moling County in Moling County.

Regardless of Gu Wuchen or Lin Tie, they didn't want to dig out any big moths from within the Inspectorate at this time, but if Lin Tie wanted to completely control the Jiangdao Prison, how could his subordinates use unreassuring officials?

The officials and jailers of Jiangdao Prison must carry out a major blood exchange, which is the consensus reached by Lin Jian and Gu Wuchen.

Yang Pu led people to secretly arrest Ge Zuxin, the former prisoner; Lin Jingzhong obeyed Lin Lian's orders, and secretly arranged a Wupeng boat at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, Zhou Pu personally took two boatmen to guard the boat, and Wu Qi took another Liuma Kou to lurk left and right to monitor Prison Island.

After listening to Zhao Hu's return to the island and talking about these arrangements, Lin Jian still did everything as usual, and he also asked Zhao Hu to bring a lot of fishing tools such as nets, fish baskets, harpoons, fish fishing, and fishing rods from the city when he returned to the island, and also brought a few baskets of chickens, ducks and pork to subsidize and improve the life of the jailers. Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin and the others didn't feel anything abnormal at all, they only felt that although Lin Lian, the new boss, had the intention of controlling the overall situation, he did not forget to win them over.

The matter of using prisoners to fish in the shallow water of the river is also going smoothly, Lin is bound to the north beach of the prison island, and chooses a shallow beach with a water surface of 16 or 7 zhang wide, which can not drown people's thighs, and the river wades over, and the shallow water is sprinkled with rotten rice as bait, even if there is no fishing boat, as long as people are not afraid of the cold water and stand in the shallow water to catch fish with a net.

Ten people were selected, but three of them had experience in fishing in the lake, and knew that the river fish were particularly stupid in the cold spring season, so they took others into the water to catch fish very dedicatedly, and caught forty or fifty fish, two or three hundred catties of fat river fish on the first day.

Of course, Lin Jian will not supply enough fish and meat to the prisoners, and about every 20 prisoners will be provided with two meals of roasted fish and vegetable soup with a length of river carp. The jailer's food was originally slightly better, but he only added a small amount of river fish to improve the food, and he could exchange vegetables, eggs, pork, rice and noodles with the nearby villagers for more than 100 catties of fish a day.

In the suburbs near the river, fish should be cheap, but this is not the case. Jiangning Mansion, Moling County, and Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion changed the law to collect taxes, and not only fishing boats had to pay money when they went down the river and lake, but ordinary people also had to pay river donations if they had a fishing net and a fishing rod at home. Such a harsh tax 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 will exceed twice the price of rice, and the price of rice transported into the city will be four or five times the price.

After Lin Tie landed on the island, he saw the water camp boats under the Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion patrolling along the river many times a day, getting up early in the morning and being very dedicated to the dark, they were not guarding against river bandits, mainly to collect river donations, and to arrest the fishing boats and fishing thieves who escaped from the river.

Arrest those who evade donations and resist taxes, and send the suspects to the city prison, which can exploit the suspects under various names, and is naturally willing to share the fertilizer with the yamen who sent the suspects. Many people are caught by the yamen because of trivial matters, and most of them are willing to admit punishment and leave on the spot for fear of being tortured and exploited in prisons, and even the murderers who commit murder and arson can bargain for escape as long as they have money -- doing everything possible to catch the suspects has become a job for the yamen to fight for profit.

The Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion was originally a garrison yamen, and it was strictly forbidden to interfere with civil affairs, not to mention the anti-French people, and the collection of river donations would not have done their business, but how could such a fat distribution not be done? The affairs on the ground were divided by the yamen of the prefectures and counties, and they had the excuse of river defense and river defense, so they naturally turned the Yangtze River, Chaotiandang, Longzangpu and other major water systems in Jiangning Prefecture and its surroundings into their own territory, and even drove the teams of the prefecture and county yamen to collect river donations from these water surfaces. Most of the combat strength of the thousands of water battalions was scattered out to do these things, and the vigilance of river defense and river defense naturally became a joke, and even the small boats donated by the water battalion and the river often became the targets of attacks by river bandits.

Although Jiangdao Prison can only be regarded as a yamen from Jiupin, it is also a yamen, at least there is no tax on fishing by the river, and there is no fear of the county yamen chasing donations when taking river fish to the shore to exchange rice and vegetables with the villagers, and there must be more than 100 catties of fish every day, which can almost offset many deficits since Lin Tie established the new rules.

It has only been implemented for three or five days, and the eldest grandson, Zhou Shide, and others all feel that this new boss really has a brain in managing the prison, and even feel that it is necessary to find more honest and reliable prisoners to put on the river to fish. You must know that there are 150,000 households in Jiangning City, and they have to consume a large amount of river fish every day, and they transport river fish into the city to sell in the name of the Inspector General, so as to make more profits.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first month, which was also the eighth day of Lin Tie's visit to Prison Island, Yang Pu came to the island with a team of soldiers, and took a document to declare that Gu Wuchen, the deputy envoy of the inspection, would go to the island tomorrow to take a look, and he brought people over to strengthen the armament of Prison Island in case of accidents.

After the discussion of the prison city was rejected, the Jiangdao prison seemed to be forgotten, and unless there was a big problem over the years, there were no high-ranking officials in the inspection department who still remembered this side on weekdays. A few days ago, Xiao Xuanchou sent Lin Xuan to take up his post according to the affairs of the inspector, and he was already the highest official on the island for two years, but Xiao Xuanchou was too long to stay on the island for a moment; In a few days, the deputy envoy of the inspection was about to come to the island again to inspect, and the low-level civil and military officials such as Zhou Shide, Changsun Geng, Jiang Jin, and Cao Xian all felt flattered, and they gave Lin Jian the task of preparing for the reception, and they did not think of going to other places at all.

Lin Binshan welcomed Yang Pu into the courtyard where he lived alone on Prison Island.

"Have the jailers in the prison ever been suspicious?" Yang Pu was not at ease after all, he couldn't solve the matter cleanly, 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 few little miscellaneous fish, will they think that the deputy envoy will personally go out to arrest them?" Lin Lian said with a smile, "Everything is fine, just take someone tomorrow is ......."

"Alas, Jiangdao Prison is full of prisoners who have no money to atone for their crimes, and guarding this prison island can be said to be the most oily and waterless errand, but they are trying to find a way to get money," Yang Pu introduced the interrogation situation in the past few days, "Ge Zuxin, the former prisoner, arrested us and brought us to justice, but we couldn't bear the punishment, so we confessed in only three or four days." They did collude with each other, threatening to withhold prisoners' food and lynching, forcing those female prisoners who committed adultery to sell themselves in the brothel in Quyang Town, east of the city, for profit, and the caretakers of those female prisons, three of them were bustards in the brothel in Quyang Town, and the prison officials also forced female prisoners to sleep, but after it was rumored that you were going to come to Jiangdao Prison to take over the prison officer, this business was suspended, and I was afraid that I wanted to stop......"

"Where do they want to stop?" Lin Jian took a sip, thinking that he wanted to force the female prisoner to sell herself, but it had not been done for thousands of years, he said, "On the first day I came, they sent two female prisoners to test me, thinking that they would drag me into the water before they were willing. ”

Female prisoners will be sentenced to prison for rape, and even sentenced to prostitution in official kilns if the punishment is more severe.

The prison officials forced the female prisoners to become prostitutes, and the history is endless, and there are nearly 1,000 prisons in the 16 counties of the Dayue Dynasty according to the inspection department and the prefecture and county prisons, and it is by no means only the Jiangdao prison that is doing this dirty thing. In other places, the chief of the inspection department will probably ignore such evil deeds when he knows that there are such evil deeds under his rule. In the eyes of ordinary people, especially moralists, this may not be a bad deed at all. Chen Xiyan, who resigned from his official position to give lectures at the Xixi Institute after losing the party battle with Chen Xinbo, the former head of the household, and even the female prisoners who openly stated that they had committed adultery should be put into the official kiln as prostitutes to atone for their crimes.

Yang Pu thought that Gu Wuchen and Lin Jian might just need an excuse to clean up Jiangdao Prison, so he smiled and said, "In order not to startle the snake, let's start from this side tomorrow." ”

**********

Before noon the next day, counting the time, Gu Wuchen was about to board the boat at the Jiuwengqiao Wharf, and Lin Jian and Yang Pu led Changsun Geng, Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, Cao Xian, and more than ten people, including the leaders of the squads and the leaders of the martial arts, to wait at the simple wharf on the south side of the island. A group of soldiers who came with Yang Pu were temporarily stationed in the compound of the prison department, and the prison cells were temporarily closed.

First, four warrior oarboats came to drive away the fishing boats and merchant ships in the waterway on the south side of Prison Island, and temporarily closed the waterway, and then Gu Wuchen came by official boat. The official ship was full of sword-wielding guards wearing dark red uniforms, and Gu Wuchen was wearing a four-grade vermilion official robe with long legs and a right-angled black crown, standing at the bow of the ship very conspicuously. The official ship approached the dock, and the escort soldiers got off the boat, standing on the dock in four columns, and the eldest Sun Geng and the others looked at it and felt that the newly appointed deputy envoy Gu Wuchen was very majestic, and followed Lin Jian to pay homage.

"Under the post of Jinchuan Island Prison Prison Keeper Lin Tie led the officials to welcome Lord Gu to inspect ...... "Lin Tie Chang bowed and asked Gu Wuchen to get off the boat.

"Okay, good," Gu Wuchen got off the boat, said a few words in a row, looked at the officials around Lin Lian, stood on the dock, and said loudly, "You have been guarding here for eight or nine years, three or four years, most of them have worked hard, I have drawn up a list here, and those who are on the list please stand on my left......"

Changsun Geng and the others were slightly stunned, thinking that Gu Wuchen was going to be rewarded, and they were very happy in their hearts, and stood aside respectfully waiting for Gu Wuchen's list.

"Bookstore Zhou Shide, Wushu Elementary School Cao Xian, Jiang Jin, Team Leader Du Ziteng, Xiao Hu, Chen Dazhuang, Yang Hei ......"

Eldest Sun Geng listened to Gu Wuchen read out the list, eighty percent of the prison officials, squad leaders, and military leaders all gave the name and stood aside to receive the reward, just without him and the other two famous squad leaders who can only do things honestly, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, looking at Zhou Shide and the others triumphantly, he was even more lazy and disheartened, just thinking about going back and drinking a few glasses, letting this world be turbid, black and white.

Lin Lian stood aside with his sleeves in his hands, looking at the expressions on the faces of these people, and thought to himself: The change in his face in the next moment will probably be very exciting!

"You all know in your hearts that you have worked hard and that you will reward you with something?" Gu Wuchen squinted his eyes and looked at the prison officials in front of him, his face suddenly changed, he pointed to the officials in front of him, and ordered in a deep voice, "Take down all these traitors and criminals for me......

Zhou Shide and the others suddenly didn't know why, the guards brought by Gu Wuchen tied them up from behind like wolves and tigers, they thought of shouting grievances, which guards took care of them, took a cloth ball to stuff their mouths one by one, and escorted them to the side to wait.

Gu Wuchen said to Lin Jian and Yang Pu again: "You led people to unload the prison guards and servants on the island, and detained them to check them one by one, and you must not let go of a traitor......

The great change on the dock made Changsun Geng dumbfounded, and even if no one came forward to arrest him, he stood there at a loss.

"Eldest grandson, what are you thinking?" Lin Jian took off the saber from his waist and held it in his hand, looked at Changsun Geng standing there in a daze, and said, "Who among the messengers and prison guards is the minions of these villains, you know best in your heart, why don't you go in with me to recognize people?" ”

"Ahh Only then did Changsun Geng know that the new boss was going to carry out a thorough cleanup of the Jiangdao Prison with the support of the deputy envoy of the inspection, and he and the other two honest and innocent team leaders who were so frightened that they almost lost their souls followed Lin Jian and Yang Pu in the direction of the prison step by step, and a team of guards who came with Gu Wuchen followed them, and Changsun Geng glanced back again, only to see Zhou Shide and others tied up on the dock, and Gu Wuchen returned to the boat.

Changsun Geng didn't even know how to confirm that he and the other two team leaders were innocent according to the deputy envoy of the procuratorate, Lin Jian looked at his face in shock, comforted him and said: "Ge Zuxin, the former prisoner, has already led people to Yang Dianwei on the way back to his hometown, and who among the officials is involved in the case, and who is not involved in the case, according to the inspector and envoy, it has been found out clearly in the past few days, but who is the minions among the soldiers and the soldiers, Ge Zuxin himself is not all ......."

Zhou Shide, Jiang Jin, Cao Xian, and all the squad leaders and the leaders of the soldiers were all taken down in one fell swoop, and there were many guards in the forest, and the prison guards and miscellaneous servants within the high walls naturally did not dare to make trouble, and they all honestly unloaded their weapons and put them in the C-shaped prison room to wait for the investigation, and Yang Puxian led a team of guards to serve as the guards of the Jiangdao prison.

Miscellaneous servants and many military guards, even if they acted as minions, were mostly coerced, and after being identified by the chief Sun Geng and the two squad leaders, nearly 20 vicious murderers were selected and put in chains, and the others were only imprisoned. The twenty servants under the two squad leaders also did not do anything evil to the coercion because of the innocence of the leader, and after a brief questioning, they were released, and with a sense of trepidation, they prepared dinner for the prisoners under the supervision of Yang Pu and the guards.
