Probably Yang Cang knew what was going on, understood that Zhang Wu and Ma Liu had spared his life, and did not cause any more trouble.
On the third day, the imperial court sent official documents to all parts of the country. In the appointment column, a new honorary general of the Zhenfu Division was added, with the surname Zhang Mingwu.
The sudden appearance of a new position caused many people to speculate secretly, but they had no clue.
After the crisis was completely resolved, Zhang Wu invited Ma Liu and Tang Zhan to Chunfeng Tower, spending thousands of taels of silver in one night, which was considered a luxury.
Life returned to normal, Zhang Wu stayed at home and practiced his magic skills every day, waiting for the storm to come.
Until a month later, the minister of the Ministry of Industry suddenly died suddenly in prison.
When the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Three hundred years after the founding of the Dakun Dynasty, no one has yet dared to openly murder an important official of the court.
Emperor Long Yan was furious and ordered the Zhenfu Department to thoroughly investigate the death of the Minister of Works.
Overnight.
Up and down the prison, from the jailer to the cook.
Those who might have poisoned the Minister of Industry were all sent to prison.
In the past, the jailers were tyrannical in the prison, but today I have become a prisoner. It can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is not good.
After investigation, it was found that on the night after the death of the Minister of Works, a jailer committed suicide at home by taking poison, and left a suicide note stating that the Minister of Works had despised him several times, so he poisoned him out of spite and had nothing to do with others.
No matter how powerful the Zhenfu Division is, this matter has become an unjust case.
All we could do was beat the three cooks to death, send the jailer and nine jailers into the army, wash out the prison with blood, and finally let it go.
After the incident, in order to give an explanation for the death of the Minister of Industry, the emperor not only ordered him to be buried richly, but also sent several of his political enemies to prison.
Afterwards, an imperial edict was issued, ordering Liu Qing to be released from prison and granted the title of Bachelor of the Cabinet and concurrently Minister of the Ministry of Industry, from the second rank.
All the remaining officials in prison were also released from prison, and most of them were reinstated regardless of their past mistakes.
After the past two years of recuperation, Da Kun has also taken a breath and is actively preparing his troops for war, preparing to conquer the south and regain the lost territory.
Before the fight began, of course, courtesy must be given first and then the soldiers. Liu Qingcai was entrusted with the important task after he was released from prison. He would negotiate with the barbarians on behalf of Da Kun.
And his position as cabinet bachelor is very particular.
Dakun implements a cabinet system. It is the dream of every courtier to join the cabinet. The cabinet bachelor is also called "the cabinet elder". The cabinet bachelor is the deputy of the cabinet elder, and he is only one step away from joining the cabinet.
In other words, as long as Liu Qing negotiates well this time, he is likely to go further than before!
"Sit and watch his changes, sit and watch his ebb and flow..."
Zhang Wu was boxing in the yard. His shirtless upper body was full of explosive power, and his muscles seemed to be cast from copper poured into iron. They showed a light bronze color and were extremely strong.
He sensed the intention of the fist, raised his body lightly, walked around the wall, stepped on the trap but did not fall, and said with a breath in his heart:
"This feud has been settled. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in a hundred years."
Only now did Zhang Wu understand why Liu Qing asked him his name in prison.
He is picking people to buy to death!
If he didn't pass on the news to him, other jailers wouldn't be so cautious.
I don't care if you find someone else to buy you to death, but if you buy it to me, you still want to kill someone and silence yourself... See how I stab you in the future!
With resentment in his heart and unable to continue practicing this punch, Zhang Wu returned to the house and began to eat meat.
He now has to eat ten pounds of beef every day in order to steadily increase his power.
According to this way of eating, if he didn't have the remaining four thousand taels of silver to cover his expenses, he wouldn't be able to support himself with just the jailer's salary and regular money.
Of course, after this day, he also had an unexpected surprise.
There is a brand new Feiyu suit stacked on the table, with a small official seal on it and an embroidered spring knife next to it. If this outfit is worn out, I don't know how cool it will be!
He is a seventh-grade official, but his actual job is to be a jailer in the Heavenly Prison, which can be regarded as the first of its kind in the Dakun Dynasty.
The benefits don't stop there.
According to the laws of Dakun, there are various restrictions on low-class status, such as not being able to live and eat with good people, not being able to intermarry with women from good families, etc.
Even the height of the family's house must be shorter than that of a good family.
Although after so many years, these regulations have become ineffective, jailers are as powerful as police officers on the streets.
But if someone takes this seriously with you, you will only suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Now it's fine, you don't need to wear Feiyu uniform, you just need to carry your official seal in your arms. If anyone dares to show off to me, I will take out my dick and blind you!
After eating and taking a nice nap, Zhang Wu began to read the sages' books.
Although the books were obscure and difficult to understand, he forced himself to study.
With Ma Liu gone, there are no torture talents in the Tianlao. I must be the one to do it. If I torture the prisoners too much, I will easily go crazy. I must read more books by sages.
Since you want to eat this meal, you must master the skills of torture.
Even though he had not been on duty in the past two months, Zhang Wu knew that the atmosphere in Tianlao had changed drastically.
There were only ten old jailers left, and people were needed to fill the empty positions. The team expanded to hundreds of people, but 90% of them were newcomers.
Let alone subjecting the prisoner to severe punishment, he would not be able to even whip him.
The remaining old men would only beat them to death during the interrogation and could not pry the prisoner's mouth open at all.
In just a few days, three prisoners were beaten to death and were fired immediately.
The new prison chiefs and prison wardens were laymen with no experience in managing prisons. They first removed the officials and prisons without giving them any privileges.
They acted impartially, and the prisoners were better off. Those who deserved rice were given rice, and those who deserved clothes were given clothes... But it is said that the prison chief only served for half a month and was dismissed from his post.
The person in charge of the prison was also scolded by his superiors every day, and his position was about to be lost.
"Brother Wu, are you there?"
Outside the courtyard gate, the new prison chief came to visit and was very polite.
Brother Wu has become a legend in the prison. As a jailer, his official position is higher than that of his immediate superior. If he gets upset one day, he will have to call me "Sir" as the prison chief.
"Han Tilao?"
Zhang Wu put down his book and went out to take a look. He was a little surprised.
You, an eighth-grade official, are not working in the Criminal Department, why did you come to see me?
"Brother Wu, I'm taking the liberty to visit you. I'm not disturbing you, right?"
Han Jiang clasped his fists and held a gift in his hand, showing great etiquette.
"Master Tilao, what are you doing?"
Zhang Wu welcomed the person into the house in confusion.
When Han Jiang entered the door, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
Zhang Wu followed his gaze and immediately laughed in his heart.
There is only half a wall between Zhao Prison and Tian Prison. We were all colleagues at first, but after this incident, the guards were more afraid of Fei Yufu than the officials.
Han Jiang pretended to be calm and quickly reported his family name and said:
"Brother Wu, you haven't been to prison recently. You don't know that I can no longer serve in prison. My father-in-law asked me to come to you for advice."
"Father-in-law?"
Zhang Wu asked doubtfully:
"Who is your grandfather?"
"Han Shan."
"..."
You are a third-generation official!
Han Shan tried his best to get himself into the official position, and he had the favor of supporting him. When his grandson came to visit him, he had to give him face.
At that time, he was troubled by the death-buying incident. Besides wanting to obtain this honorary flag, Zhang Wu also wanted to visit Han Shan and establish a relationship with him so that the death-buying murderer would be afraid.
Later, I thought about telling Han Shan about buying my own death. It would be easy to expose the secret without warning, so I didn't go.
"It turns out he is the grandson of Han Gong. Lord Tilao, please sit down quickly."
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can I dare to call you a master in front of Brother Wu?"
Han Jiang smiled bitterly and sat on the Taishi chair, clasped his fists across the table and said:
"Brother Wu, the prison has been unable to function recently. You are an old man and you must know the crux of the problem. Please feel free to give me some advice."
"Well..."
Zhang Wu made an invitation gesture, drank a sip of tea with Han Jiang, and asked with a smile:
"Brother Han, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth!"
Han Jiang said with certainty.
Zhang Wu nodded and said:
"Everything going wrong in prison is not your fault, nor is it everyone else's fault. The main reason is that you did not take advantage of the situation."
"Go with the flow?"
Han Jiang looked confused.
Zhang Wu answered:
"Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the sea to eat the sea, rely on the sky prison, of course you have to learn-"
