Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 300 - 181: No Signature, No Entry (Part 2)
"Nonsense! I escorted them myself—how could there be any problem with the prisoners? I’m asking you now: will you accept the three of them or not?"
Wei Xianglong, furious, swung himself onto his horse.
If he signed the medical examination report and any of these three rebel faction members died in Zhenbei Prison, he would unquestionably be held responsible—and he wasn’t stupid.
Besides, there was never any such rule before.
What’s more, he had personally escorted them today; apart from their unusual identities as rebel faction members, he was mostly curious about Jiang Feng himself. He hadn’t expected Jiang Feng to pull this stunt.
Brought up these medical reports, out of nowhere.
Jiang Feng replied in a calm and steady voice, "In that case, Lord Wei, please take them back for now. If you refuse to sign the examination reports and insist on leaving them at the gates of Zhenbei Prison, I’ll have no choice but to ask the Prison Director to make a decision."
"Additionally, there is another matter I need to report to you. Prior to this, I had already suggested to the Prison Director that from now on, regardless of which prison delivers people here, before anyone enters Zhenbei Prison, a full medical examination must be conducted. The main reason for this is to prevent any infectious diseases from being brought inside and affecting others. On the other hand, should any unexpected incident occur, we can promptly establish the cause and avoid wasting manpower."
Jiang Feng spoke with patience, neither anxious nor slow.
Since being forced to become Vice Commander of the Prison, Jiang Feng had been pondering how he could steadily earn his daily Fortune Points and avoid being dragged into other troubles. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
After some reflection, he realized that problems generally fell into three categories.
The first was subordinates accepting bribes and colluding with prisoners—this troubled him most, and though it was recurring, he could usually suppress it with his authority so it wouldn’t escalate.
The second was prisoners escaping or someone orchestrating a hijack prison—these were rare. After spending so long in Zhenbei Prison, he’d only encountered this twice.
The third was prisoners dying inside the prison. If it was an ordinary death, that was that; but if a high-profile prisoner or a most-wanted criminal died, the accountability would be severe.
Therefore, since taking office—
Jiang Feng reinforced defenses, ensuring that the prison army patrolled around Zhenbei Prison at all hours.
He also tightened management, strictly enforcing the Four No’s policy to effectively minimize bribery and collusion.
At the same time, he checked the physical condition of every major prisoner, especially those court officials or members of the royal family and relatives sent over as a mere formality—he could not afford for anything to go wrong while they were incarcerated.
"This is utter nonsense! Do you actually think the Prison Director will pay any heed to your antics?"
Wei Xianglong could barely keep himself from cursing aloud.
"Then let me go ask the Prison Director to decide now."
Jiang Feng had no other recourse.
The medical examination regime must be implemented, no matter what.
If he could succeed here with Wei Xianglong, then in the future, whether it was someone sent over by the Demon Suppression Bureau, another prison, or even from the Imperial City, Jiang Feng would be able to check them and avoid being saddled with blame.
"Go ask! Go right now! Let me tell you—you’re nothing but a minor Vice Commander, do you really think your disgusting Four No’s policy will make the Prison Director take a fancy to you?"
Wei Xianglong’s face was flushed with anger. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, on par with Prison Director Han Dong in rank.
But Jiang Feng had only just been promoted from Little Prison Chief to Vice Commander—how dare he put on airs?
"Enough with the shouting!"
Just then, a voice rang out from within Zhenbei Prison.
It was Han Dong.
Everyone turned toward the prison entrance.
They saw Han Dong walking just behind Bao Longwei, emerging from the gateway.
"Your humble servant greets the Prison Director."
Wei Xianglong, who had been sitting high atop his horse, didn’t react to Han Dong’s voice at first; but when he glimpsed Bao Longwei, he seemed to lose his balance and slid smoothly off his horse, rushing to bow in greeting.
"Greetings, Prison Director!"
Everyone else followed suit and paid their respects.
"Lord Wei, what’s the matter with you? Why are you shouting at the gates of the prison?"
Bao Longwei spoke from above, his tone commanding.
"Reporting to the Prison Director, your humble servant is acting according to regulations, delivering prisoners to Zhenbei Prison. Commander Jiang refuses to accept them, insisting on these medical examination reports to create obstacles for me."
Wei Xianglong complained bitterly.
"Prison Director, these are the three medical examination reports jointly prepared by Prison Doctor Zhang and Prison Doctor Wang at my request."
Jiang Feng bowed his head and handed over the three creased reports to Bao Longwei.
Bao Longwei took the reports and reviewed them carefully, then glanced at the three rebel faction members who were still locked in the prison cart, baking in the sun. He couldn’t help but ask, "Prison Doctor Zhang, Prison Doctor Wang, are these reports you’ve produced genuinely reliable?"
"Reporting to the Prison Director, though I am not a master of the arts, I have practiced medicine for over forty years. When it comes to internal injuries and assessing Qi Blood of the organs, I am quite knowledgeable. There’s no doubt about the accuracy of these reports."
Prison Doctor Zhang replied.
"We were both apprenticed under the same master, fled all the way north from the south; our skills complement each other. Whether it’s rare diseases, poison seeping into the mind, or hidden internal injuries, we’re well-versed. Thanks to Commander Jiang’s patronage, we’ve only recently started working at Zhenbei Prison."
Prison Doctor Wang bowed and echoed.
Just as Prison Doctor Wang said—these two were physicians whom Jiang Feng had only recently recruited.
Since being forced into the vice commander’s role, Jiang Feng had been mulling over how to make sure prisoners wouldn’t die easily in their cells.
With turmoil in the south and countless refugees, there would surely be medical experts among them. While these people were helpless, Jiang Feng had Squad Leader Wang and several others discreetly post notices about recruiting prison doctors among the refugees.
