Zhang Fan personally took charge of Jingfan Manor. Director-General Yuan Chong immediately rushed to Jingfan Prison to replace all the wardens and wardens. This was a lucrative job. Even a lowly warden could embezzle millions every year. No one wanted to leave, but Yuan Chong's attitude was unusually firm. From the warden to the wardens, everyone was replaced.
The warden of Jingfan Prison was also someone with connections. How could he not be angry when he was kicked out of such a lucrative job?
"Director-General Yuan Chong, I didn't do anything wrong. If you replace me, I'll see how you explain this to my uncle," the warden of Jingfan Prison, Zheng Youxuan, said angrily.
Yuan Chong coldly glanced at Zheng Youxuan and said indifferently, "Go ahead and report this to the higher-ups. If you win, I lose. Your uncle is only the Consul General of Jingfan Manor. Be careful not to go for wool and come home shorn. He might even lose his position as Consul General."
"Fine, fine, fine. Yuan Chong, I know you've been wanting to overthrow my uncle for a long time. Today, I'd like to see if you can keep your director-general position, or if my uncle can keep his position as Consul General," Zheng Youxuan threatened coldly.
"Men, arrest Zheng Youxuan. I've collected evidence of his corruption over the years. I didn't want to arrest you, but since you dared to go against your superiors, don't blame me for being impolite." Yuan Chong waved his hand. More than ten experts rushed out from behind him and lifted Zheng Youxuan up. They threw him into the prison without even checking him.
"Yuan Chong! You bastard, my uncle won't let you off! "Zheng Youxuan roared.
Yuan Chong sneered disdainfully. He waved his hand and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler handed him an account book. He said in a low voice, "Director-General, this Zheng Youxuan has been a warden for over a thousand years. He embezzled three hundred billion celestial coins and squandered eighty percent of it. Now, he's only left with a few billion. Should we confiscate it?"
"Confiscate it all! Also, how much was the last time he took a bribe? When was that? Who gave it to him? "Yuan Chong asked.
"The last bribe was from Endless Peak Mountain and an unknown faction. It was an immortal treasure worth three hundred million celestial coins and a hundred million celestial coins. They wanted Zheng Youxuan to help them kill someone in prison. His name is Ye Qinghan," the middle-aged butler said in a low voice.
Yuan Chong was shocked and thought to himself, Could it be that Lord Zhang Fan replaced all the prison guards and wardens because of this matter? He even asked me to warn all the officials in Jingfan Manor that I'm afraid someone has taken bribes today and offended him. "
"Where did this Ye Qinghan come from?" Yuan Chong didn't know the situation and didn't dare to act recklessly. He hurriedly said to Vice Domain Chief Wang, "Old Wang, you'll be in charge of Jingfan Prison for the time being. Also, take good care of someone called Ye Qinghan. Don't release him, but don't make things difficult for him either."
Vice Domain Chief Wang had been demoted from the Vice Domain Chief of the patrol team to the prison warden. It might seem like a demotion, but in reality, it was a lucrative job that everyone wanted.
Vice Domain Chief Wang Zheng immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Sir. I am willing to repay you with my life."
Yuan Chong warned plainly, "I didn't nurture you this time. I don't have the ability to take down Zheng Youxuan and replace you. Do your job well. I understand that this position is a lucrative one, but don't take some people's money. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
Wang Zheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the higher-ups were paying attention to him. He immediately said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I understand!"
Yuan Chong nodded and said, "You'll take up the position first. As for the few captains in your patrol team who failed their duties and took bribes tonight, when Domain Chief Gao returns, he will deal with them personally. You don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, Yuan Chong immediately left the prison and returned to Jingfan Manor.
Zhang Fan didn't leave but waited in the side hall.
Just as Yuan Chong entered Jingfan Manor, he was stopped by an old man.
"Division Chief Yuan Chong, who gave you the right to replace the warden and all the prison guards of Jingfan Prison?" the old man questioned coldly.
Jingfan Manor's Chief Consul, Zheng Cheng. In this manor, other than the Manor Master, he was second only to one person. Of course, this was under the condition that the big shots of Jingfan Mountain didn't appear. Division Chief Yuan Chong was also under his control.
Yuan Chong bowed slightly and said, "Consul Zheng, Warden Zheng Youxuan took bribes and was bending the law for personal gain. He's getting more and more out of hand. Today, he even offended his superiors. According to the law, I've already sent him to prison. I'm using the power of Jingfan Mountain's law. Is Zheng Youxuan higher than the law?"
Zheng Cheng raised the corner of his mouth in disdain and said arrogantly, "Zheng Youxuan is my nephew. What law? What corruption, taking bribes, and bending the law for personal gain? As officials, we are the law. The law is to serve us. Division Chief Yuan Chong, you don't seem to know how to behave! "
"Is that so?"
Zhang Fan walked out from the side chamber and appeared right behind Zheng Cheng. Zhang Fan's voice was cold and ruthless, filled with a fury that could destroy the heavens.
Zheng Cheng thought that it was Yuan Chong who said that and replied arrogantly, "Of course, Division Chief Yuan Chong, I know you're capable. If you follow me, you won't be so poor. I guarantee that you'll be able to swim freely in Jingfan Manor."
Yuan Chong looked at Zhang Fan standing behind Zheng Cheng and laughing coldly. He felt a chill in his heart.
Boom!!
Zhang Fan sent Zheng Cheng flying with a palm strike and directly destroyed his immortal dao source. It was so casual that there wasn't any aftershock. His control of immortal spiritual energy had already reached the pinnacle.
Zheng Cheng violently spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His eyes were blurry as he struggled frantically. When he saw that it was Zhang Fan who attacked, his legs trembled and he knelt on the ground.
"Lord Elder, why are you here?" Zheng Cheng knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to look up.
Zhang Fan said coldly, "What great authority. If you were to become the Manor Master, wouldn't Jingfan Mountain be your private property? I'm afraid you're the only one who dares to accept money from Endless Peak Mountain and Nine Kills Sect to kill the people in Jingfan Prison! "
"Lord, please spare my life. I've only done this once, and I haven't taken any action. I beg you to spare me on account of my hard work!" Zheng Cheng cried out in fear. He didn't expect Zhang Fan to find out about such a secret.
Hehe …
Zhang Fan laughed coldly and killed Zheng Cheng with a flick of his finger.
"From today onwards, Yuan Chong, you'll be the Chief Consul. I'll talk to the Manor Master personally." Zhang Fan killed a Mystic Immortal expert as if he was killing an ant. He didn't feel any regret at all.
Yuan Chong was overjoyed. He quickly knelt and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Elder!"
Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Lock Ye Qinghan in the prison for a period of time. Send someone you trust to guard him. However, I'm not here for Ye Qinghan. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I understand. Lord, you're here for the laws of Jingfan Prefecture!" Yuan Chong was rather smart and immediately said.
Zhang Fan casually threw out a report and said coldly, "The four captains of the patrol team have taken bribes. The evidence is conclusive. I'll leave it to you to deal with."
After saying that, Zhang Fan turned and left Jingfan Prefecture.
In just one night, Jingfan Prefecture underwent a great change. A terrifying storm swept through the entire officialdom. From the Chief Consul to the patrol team members and prison guards, everyone was implicated.
