"Chen Xuan, sit down quickly and ask if you have any questions."
Jiang Ping seemed very happy to see people of his own age coming over.
In this prison, he was the only young man with no one to talk to. All he could do was sleep, and he was almost going crazy.
If this continues, he doesn't know if he can persist. It's just too boring.
"How many painters are there in our painter's room?"
After sitting down, Chen Xuan asked.
"Normally, there are three painters." Jiang Ping said: "You, me, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Yang, but Mr. Yang is old and asks for leave every three days. When you come, you should take Mr. Yang's place.
."
"What about working hours."
Chen Xuan continued to ask.
"We are three painters, we have two days off and one day off." Jiang Ping said: "On weekdays, there is basically nothing to do. We are only asked to draw portraits when new prisoners come. When there is nothing, we can only stay in the painter's room. It is too boring.
From time to time, I would hear the screams of prisoners, which made me feel uneasy even when I slept."
"Chen Xuan, why did you come to the Prison Department to be a painter?"
Jiang Ping asked.
"I came from Qingshui County. I am helpless in the county and just want to live a stable life."
Chen Xuandao.
The two chatted about their family affairs.
For several generations, Jiang Ping's ancestors were painters in the Department of Prisons.
After his grandfather passed away, Jiang Ping's father became the painter of the Prison Department. However, one time when he was drunk, Jiang Ping's father broke his arm and could no longer continue painting, so Jiang Ping took his father's place.
Among the other two painters in the painter's room, Mr. Yang has never married a wife, so he has no descendants to take his place.
As for another Mr. Sun, his son opened a painting boat business in the city and the business was good.
The painter's job is much more leisurely than Chen Xuan imagined.
Went to the painter's room until the sun went down.
Except for chatting with Jiang Ping, there was nothing.
The prisoners' screams and cries continued to come from the depths of the prison.
The Prison Department is not only responsible for the custody and custody of prisoners, but also includes interrogation and execution.
Prisoners who are still in the trial and sentencing stage do not need to leave portraits.
Only convicted prisoners need portraits by painters.
The prisoner has not yet been sentenced, so the prisoner can use his connections and use various means to reduce his sentence or exempt him from the sentence as much as possible. This is also the largest source of income for the Department of Prisons.
In the Jin Dynasty, there was a law for atonement.
The meaning of atonement is to pay money to reduce the sentence. Except for serious crimes such as rebellion, conspiracy, persecution of nobles, killing officials, etc., princes, nobles, and children of noble families can pay to have their sentences reduced.
All the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China came from the nobility and gentry. These rulers naturally wanted to benefit themselves. Later, it developed to the point that as long as they were rich, their sentences could be reduced by paying money.
It is impossible for a prince to commit the same crime as the common people.
"get off work."
When the time came, Chen Xuan and Jiang Ping left the Prison Department.
Jailers need to be guarded at night, but painters are much more relaxed and do not need to be guarded. They go to and from get off work at the same time, and no one will say anything even if they arrive late.
When he first arrived in the county, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to refine the elixir. The purple jade bone-cleansing elixir he had refined before was enough, and if he wanted to refine the harmless purple jade bone-cleansing elixir, he needed Baiyanghua, which was not for ordinary people.
can be purchased.
When he was in Qingshui County, he could only buy a small amount of white sun flowers through the logistics department.
Because ordinary pharmacies do not sell white sunflower at all, you can only get white sunflower through some special channels.
Therefore, if Chen Xuan wants to buy Baiyang Flower, he can only wait for the Tianhe Gang's hall leader He Yun and pharmacist Wang Han to be transferred to the county town, and with the help of the Tianhe Gang's power, he can buy Baiyang Flower.
The Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill in his hand can probably last for two months of practice, so there is no rush for now.
Just like this, paddling and sleeping at work every day is very boring.
For this reason, Chen Xuan deliberately reversed his work and rest time. When he got off work, he would practice until daytime. When it was time to go to work, he would go to the painter's room of the Prison Department to sleep.
A blink of an eye.
It has been a month since Chen Xuan came to the county and entered the Prison Department to become a painter.
Jin Dynasty 659, August 8th.
Yingchuan County, Beicheng.
Moslem House, Chen House.
Giant Bear Skill: 8512/20000/Level 4.
Chen Xuan, who had just finished practicing, opened the proficiency panel and looked at the progress of the Giant Bear Technique.
Taking Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill every day to practice, the progress of the Giant Bear Kung Fu has improved rapidly. At this time, Chen Xuan performed the fourth level moves of the Giant Bear Kung Fu more than 40 times without any pain in the bones.
At this rate, it will take up to two more months to complete the fourth level of the Giant Bear Technique, and the cultivation of the Bone Tempering Realm will also reach its limit.
After this month of practice, Chen Xuan clearly felt that his bones had been greatly improved, becoming tougher and thicker. Chen Xuan's body shape had also become taller, with a height of 1.85 meters and a weight of 1.85 meters.
Two hundred pounds.
At the same time, Chen Xuan's strength has also been greatly improved, and he can grab a thousand-jin stone tripod with one hand.
"Calculating the time, the medicinal materials should be shipped here today."
Chen Xuan came to the two-story wooden building, sat by the window and paid attention to the movement in the yard opposite.
Five days ago, He Yun and Wang Han from the Tianhe Gang came to the county town. The first task Chen Xuan gave them was to buy white sun flowers. Of course, some other medicinal materials were mixed in to confuse the audience.
The address given by Chen Xuan was a house he rented under a false identity.
In the alley where he is now, apart from the house where he lives now, there are three rented houses, and the yard opposite is one of them.
He gave He Yun and Wang Han five days to buy medicinal materials.
"coming!"
Not long after, Chen Xuan noticed a carriage stopping in front of the yard opposite.
Immediately afterwards, two figures stepped out of the carriage, it was He Yun and Wang Han.
The two came to the yard, took out the key and opened the lock. Then they unloaded the boxes of medicinal materials from the carriage and moved them into the yard. After doing all this, they locked the door of the yard and drove away in the carriage.
.
Seeing the carriage go away, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to go to the house to get the medicinal materials. He left the house using his disguised identity to check if there were any suspicious people watching nearby.
Although he has used poison to control He Yun and Wang Han, he cannot guarantee that they will not betray 100%.
Within a month, Chen Xuan knew most of the residents in this alley. After checking around, Chen Xuan did not find any suspicious persons, but he still waited until the evening, when it was dead of night, before he went to the house to get the medicinal materials.
With this batch of white sun flowers, he can refine a new Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill, which will probably last him until the end of his Bone Tempering Realm practice.
