Zhang Yu took the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of him.

“Have you been promoted?”

“No, I didn ‘t! He was still a golden sword guard, but he had a new position. He was also the General Manager of the Imperial prison, in charge of human resources, financial power, exemption, and so on. In other words, I’m your head. ”

“Congratulations, brother Xiao! Congratulations, brother Xiao! Now that you’re here, we’ll be safe from now on. ” Zhang Yu was excited.

“Go and get everyone.” Xiao ran ordered.

“Yes.” Zhang Yu passed down the order.

Soon, all the jailers on duty arrived.

They stood in line in an orderly manner.

Xiao ran stood up from his chair and walked over, with Zhang Yu following behind him.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao ran, and I’ve been appointed by the Imperial court as the General Manager of the Imperial prison. From now on, I’m your leader.”

“My Lord!” Everyone bowed respectfully.

Those who knew Xiao ran were excited.

With Xiao ran around, the Imperial prison would be much safer. Even if there were any unexpected situations, they could be resolved.

“Get busy!” Xiao ran waved his hand.

The jailers left.

He looked at Zhang Yu.”Let’s go to the dormitory.”

“Yes.” Zhang Yu replied.

They arrived at the dormitory.

It was a large courtyard, and it was used for logistics, supplies, dining hall, finance, and so on.

“Get everyone here.” Xiao ran ordered.

“Yes.” “Yes,” Zhang Yu replied and left quickly.

After a while.

The square was filled with people, and the one standing at the front was a young man. His skin was very dark, like a piece of charcoal.

“Who’s in charge of this place?” Xiao ran said.

No one answered.

Zhang Yu was very familiar with the people here. After all, he was the Lieutenant of the Imperial prison. He was in charge of the daily affairs of the Imperial prison and had many dealings with the logistics department.

“The person in charge of this place is called zhao jun. I heard that he is the distant nephew of vice Sword Master Fang.”

Xiao ran realized that he had gotten the news from vice-sword head Fang in advance and was looking for trouble.

“Besides zhao jun, who has the highest position?”

“Your Excellency, it’s me!” The dark-skinned young man walked out.

“I’m the assistant manager. ”

Zhang Yu added,”his name is Xia Fang. He’s very capable and doesn’t get along with zhao jun. He’s always ostracized by him.”

“Point out zhao Jun’s men,” Xiao ran said.

“It’s my Lord!” Xia Fang did not hesitate at all. He followed Xiao ran’s orders and pointed out zhao Jun’s men one by one.

The group of people stood together and looked at each other in confusion. They then looked at Xiao ran, not knowing what he was up to.

“You’re fired. ” Xiao ran said coldly.

“What right do you have to fire us? Have you asked manager zhao jun?”

“This is logistics. You are a member of the divine sword guards. You can’t control us.”

This group of people immediately exploded and jumped out to court death.

“Get lost!” Zhang Yu took a step forward, and a green light burst out, pressing down on them and knocking them to the ground one by one.

He said coldly.

“He’s the General Manager of the Imperial prison. He’s in charge of all matters in the Imperial prison. If he says he’s going to fire you, he’s going to fire you.”

He waved his hand.

“Throw them all out.”

Xia Fang hurriedly brought his men and chased them all away.

Looking at him, Xiao ran said again,”can you manage the logistics well? To ensure the operation of the Imperial prison?”

“I can!” Xia Fang knelt on the ground in excitement.

Xiao ran glanced at him. First tier of Grandmaster boundary, his cultivation level was not too bad. He was able to manage the logistics.

If it wasn’t good, he would retreat when the time came.

“Get busy!” Xiao ran waved his hand.

Xia Fang left with his men.

He returned to the hall on the first floor.

Not long after Xiao ran sat down, Xia Fang came with a thick stack of account books. He placed them on the table and said respectfully,”my Lord, these are the account books of the Imperial prison for nearly a year. There are some mistakes in them, and I have already drawn them out. In total, there is a loss of nearly 500000 taels.”

Xiao ran took an account book and looked at it. He worked very hard and was very careful. It was indeed as he said.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver in the Imperial prison had been embezzled.

“Put these on the side and bring the rest back.”

“It’s my Lord!” Xia Fang said.

Tapping his index finger on the table, Xiao ran thought for a while and made up his mind.

“Starting from this month, everyone in the Imperial prison and the logistics department will have their salaries doubled. The same goes for the food, don’t be stingy, there’s enough fish. ” Xiao ran ordered.

“If the higher-ups know about this, I’m afraid it will be disadvantageous to you.” Zhang Yu was worried.

“It’s fine!” Xiao ran shook his head.

“Since I’m the General Manager, I have to do something, right? Moreover, working in the Imperial prison is a life-and-death struggle, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. It’s in line with the rules to have them pay more. ”

“Thank you, brother Xiao!”

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

Zhang Yu and the others quickly thanked him.

Xiao ran continued,”when interrogating criminals, especially demons, you have to be ruthless. Those who can be locked up are not simple people. You have to interrogate them to find out the treasures, silver, and house deeds they have hidden outside.”

“What if I’m poor?” Zhang Yu asked.

“Let out the blood!” Xiao ran glared at him.

“Every part of a yaomo is a treasure. Their blood is very valuable. As long as you don’t kill them, and release a little of their blood every once in a while, you can sell it for a large amount of money. It will be divided according to your position. Isn’t that good?”

He took the tea from Zhang Yu and took a sip.

“When I’m done with the current Matters, I’ll make a trip to the spirit gods Department and discuss with them if we can form a partnership and purchase medicinal pills from them. In that case, the money I’ve plundered from demons and criminals can be exchanged for cultivation resources and increase your strength.”

“Brother Xiao is wise!” Zhang Yu’s eyes lit up as he flattered.

“For those who have committed serious crimes and can’t get out for the time being, and those with rich families, ask them to write a letter later and have someone deliver it to their family members. Ask their family members to pay the ‘nutrition fee’. Before doing so, you must investigate their identities clearly. The more important their identity is and the richer their family is, the more ‘nutrition fee’ they will have to pay.”

He added.

“Pay on a monthly basis. We don’t do one-shot deals.”

“Weren’t they all provided for free before?” Zhang Yu touched his head.

“The past is the past, and the present is the present.”

“But if we do that, those censors will be like dogs and accuse us.”

“I’m the chief of the Imperial prison, I have the final say here. ” Xiao ran said.

“What if they don’t pay up?”

Xiao ran glared at him, exasperated that he had failed to live up to his expectations. Xia Fang said,”if you don’t pay, I’ll only give you two steamed buns a day and some water. Then, we ‘ll’ interrogate ‘them properly to see if they have any other accomplices hiding outside.”

“I understand.” Zhang Yu suddenly realized.

“Xiao, get out here! Who gave you the courage to stop being my official?” Zhao Jun’s angry roar came from outside.
