Wang Xu was not surprised that Ma Yingjie would choose to cooperate.
What really surprised him was the information Ma Yingjie used in exchange for three days of freedom to go out and see his daughter.
According to Ma Yingjie, there are many illegal factories in Huanghua Prison. In addition to the eight formal factories on the surface, there are also factories that manufacture Xiaoyao Powder, factories that process inferior elixirs, and factories that outsource magic weapons.
These black factories will imitate the elixirs of some large companies, label them as big companies, and openly sell fake medicines.
Or, you can work for some magic weapon factories to earn labor fees.
The most profitable one is of course Xiaoyaosan Factory.
Xiaoyao Powder is a type of elixir that is explicitly prohibited for monks in the Cultivation Code.
In the early days, it was considered a special drug for the military because of its effects of refreshing the mind, relieving pain and soothing the mind.
But soon the military discovered that overdose of Xiaoyao Powder caused many adverse symptoms such as euphoria, hallucinations, addiction, and mental confusion.
Taking Xiaoyaosan for a long time will make people unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, and reduce the monk's resistance to inner demons.
Since then, Xiaoyao San has become a contraband and is not allowed to be bought or sold by private individuals.
Ma Yingjie has been in prison for less than ten years, and the information he knows is all from the public or heard from others.
The information that really interested Wang Xu was not these ambiguous factories, but the secrets he learned accidentally.
Eight years ago, a supervisor at Xiaoyaosan Factory was ostracized due to a conflict with Huang Haihua's nephew and was transferred from the supervisor of the prison guard unit to the logistics department to guard the sewage treatment station.
The name of this unit supervisor is Ma Guoliang, who is listed as District A No. 3 and is the prison guard supervisor of the unit.
Secretly, he is the supervisor of the No. 3 Xiaoyaosan processing factory and the current prison guard at the bottom of the No. 8 sewage treatment station of the Logistics Department.
Ma Yingjie heard from people who worked at the sewage treatment station that because Ma Guoliang offended the prison warden's nephew, he not only changed from a unit supervisor to a low-level prison guard, guarding a cold yamen like the sewage treatment station, but also owed a lot of money outside.
With less gambling debt, life is very embarrassing.
Over the past few years, Ma Guoliang has tried every possible means to transfer him back, but has never been able to do so. He was also told that he would have to stay in a cesspool for the rest of his life.
Suffering from this shock, his wife ran away with someone else, and he did not dare to leave the prison for fear of being caught by debt collectors.
Wang Xu felt that Ma Guoliang and Bloody Hand Guo Fan might be a breakthrough.
The former is an abandoned son and is likely to have a grudge against Huang Haihua.
The latter is the boss of the prisoners and the person who arranges the prisoners to work. As long as one of them is willing to cooperate, he will definitely be able to find evidence of corruption in Huanghua Prison.
No. 8 sewage treatment station.
"What a great place. I didn't expect Huanghua Prison to have such a big reservoir. I should have come here if I had known it."
Wang Xu carried the fishing rod and came to the No. 8 sewage treatment station.
Not far from him, there was a middle-aged man sitting fishing. Judging from the uniform he was wearing, he should be an ordinary prison guard guarding the water station.
"Man, you are so free, why don't you come fishing instead of doing anything?"
Wang Xu sat next to this man, sorting out the fishing gear while talking.
"I want you to take care of it?"
The middle-aged man murmured in a low voice and said perfunctorily: "This is a water station. There are so many things to do. If you don't go fishing, why should you hang yourself? What about you, which department do you belong to? You actually come here to take a break. Do you want me to talk to you, sir?"
Report that there is still a shortage of manpower here?"
"Okay, if you have the ability to transfer me here, I can go fishing with you in the future."
Wang Xu said indifferently. It seemed that Ma Guoliang, who was far away from the center of the struggle, did not recognize him as a celebrity in Huanghua Prison.
That's fine. The conversation can be relaxed. If Ma Guoliang knew that he came to Huanghua Prison to investigate corruption, he would probably run away without even opening his mouth.
"You little bastard, look at my joke!" Ma Guoliang cursed and said: "Back then I was also the person in charge of the branch, but now that I have come down, the chiefs of each department have to give me a bit of trouble. Believe it or not, I can just say hello.
Can I ask you to come over?"
Wang Xu smiled and said nothing. Ma Guoliang was so depressed that he even stood at the water guard station. His tone of voice was still so arrogant. He seemed to be a man unwilling to be lonely.
It's good not to be lonely. If you're not afraid that he will pursue something, you're just afraid that he won't be able to get in.
"Don't believe it?"
"Believe it, of course I believe it, you are an old-timer."
Wang Xu put on the bait, swung the rod, sat down to fish, and asked casually: "Senior, from your tone, you were very powerful back then. Why are you here at the water-watching station when you are late in the season?"
"It's hard to describe in words, but it's no pity. The scenery here is beautiful, there are fish and water, it's simply a paradise on earth. If you ask me to go back, I don't want to go back."
Ma Guoliang smiled stiffly to cover up the insincerity of his words.
If I could go back, I would be willing to be a small prison guard at a water station. What a majestic director of the detachment prison guard.
I remember back then, when he was the prison guard supervisor of the detachment, he was very popular in drinking spicy food. Why wait until now? If you want to eat a fish, you have to catch it yourself.
"Senior, I think it's too humiliating for a talent like you to stay at the water station. Have you ever thought about doing something?"
As soon as Wang Xu said these words, Ma Guoliang's expression changed. He looked at him suspiciously and whispered, "Who are you? Who sent you here?"
"Let me meet you. My name is Wang Xu. I am the deputy leader of the Wanjianyu Anti-Corruption Team. I am currently responsible for investigating prison corruption." As Wang Xu said this, he turned to look at Ma Guoliang.
Ma Guoliang was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that Wang Xu was not joking, he couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't it so unlucky? If you don't catch so many people, why don't you just catch me?"
"Who said we were going to arrest you?"
Wang Xu raised his head slightly and said, "I want you to come over and help me. Help me catch those people."
"Are you kidding me? I'm a prison guard, even if I'm past my prime. You call me a traitor? I heard that your investigation team has been stationed in the prison for a year. Have you ever heard of any traitorous prison guards?" Ma Guoliang stopped talking.
, dedicated to fishing.
"No, but you are different from them, very different.
Those people who don't rebel are either because they are worried about being retaliated against, or because they have been fed by Huang Haihua, or because their level is too low and they have nothing to explain if they want to rebel.
You are different. You were previously the prison guard supervisor in District A, and you also ran the Xiaoyaosan Factory. You can be considered a middle-level manager.
More importantly, you are dead now and you are not afraid of retaliation. And after you are transferred to the water station, I think your share will be gone, right?
Ma Guoliang, you have made great contributions to the prison. They killed donkeys and transferred you to the water station for humiliation. I believe you will not be convinced. Don’t you want to come back with revenge?"
While Wang Xu was talking, he looked at Ma Guoliang, who was still pretending to be calm.
Ma Guoliang didn't answer or say anything, which was the best answer.
How could he be convinced that just because he had a conflict with the warden's nephew, he was asked to go to the water guarding station? Mud Bodhisattva should be angry.
Okay, there is no problem at the water guarding station, and the salary remains the same.
What makes him unbearable is that his treatment has changed after he was sent to the water guard station. He has worked in prison for thousands of years and has never done any bad things. He has no merit but hard work. Those bastards really treat him like a little prison guard.
"I heard that you owe a lot of money outside. If you cooperate with us, all the things you have done will be wiped out. I will also give you a large amount of money, which is enough for you to live a happy life after paying off the debt. Think about it, my office is here
Which you should know, think it through and then come to me."
Wang Xu didn't really come to fish. When he saw that the idea was almost there, he threw away the fishing rod and stood up.
"Hey, no, I've sworn an oath to heaven. If I violate it, I won't be able to make any progress."
Wang Xu didn't stop and said without looking back: "You are currently in the distraction stage. Do you think you still have the chance to advance to the integration stage?"
"That won't work either. The methods of those people are very cruel. What will they do to me if I become a traitor?"
"Then you have to explain it clearly and try to get them all in."
Looking at Wang Xu's leaving figure, Ma Guoliang said loudly: "It still doesn't work. Let me think about it. Being a traitor is no joke."
"Three days, I'll give you three days to think about it. I hope to see you in the office after three days. Also, please pay attention to your safety. You haven't joined the investigation team yet, you are just an insignificant little prison guard. Be careful not to expose your feet.
Otherwise, just wait and feed the fish."
Saying this, Wang Xu drifted away, leaving only Ma Guoliang alone.
Ma Guoliang's expression suddenly changed, and suddenly he felt the fishing rod in his hand move.
After pulling hard, the fish was surprisingly big. Ma Guoliang was so happy that he beamed with joy and said happily: "I have been guarding the water station for eight years, and this is the first time I have caught such a big fish!"
