[The Shawshank Redemption] Converted

Byron wanted to ask Rhett again, because in his impression, when the Bible was read and explained every night, the old fritters among the prisoners often had an unconcealable expression on his face.

The captain of the guard also joked in a letter to Andy: "Our work is not completely wasted, at least some people are touched"

It is precisely because of this that Byron really does not want to believe that while Rhett listened to the hadith piously, he delivered special tobacco to the inmates on the other hand-in this world, there have never been innocent smokers, but no innocent sellers.

But before Byron could speak, Benson preempted everyone with a familiar tone: "Mr. Hadley, let's stick to the old rules, right? Is Mr. Norton busy? I can just wait here."

As soon as Byron heard the name of the warden, Byron, who had a deep understanding of the hypocrisy and cunning of his boss, understood the deep meaning almost instantly, and said calmly: "Oh? Old rules?"

Benson looked over suspiciously, but met the deep and deep eyes that could not be seen through. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and replied with a smile: "Sir, it's customary to hand over [-]%, hehe, there will be [-]% this month...Of course, your Hard work, we also know that in your hands there must be some wealth..."

Byron's face was still calm, and he couldn't help taking a breath in his heart: "I know Norton is greedy, but I don't know that he is greedy even for such dirty money... I think it's true, just sitting still is worth it." I've been drawing for a week and this is just the tip of the iceberg'

After receiving the dollar bill carefully handed over by Benson, the captain of the guard waved his hand to let him go.

Waiting aside, Rhett, who watched the whole process, was very uneasy, because his savings were not enough for such a share of "tribute".

When he was in the tobacco business a few years ago, Norton took over the prison not long ago, and he hadn't started to make money everywhere; when the warden found out the details, he already looked down on the little details left in Rhett's hands.

Rhett clasped his hands together, his knuckles turned white without realizing it.

He didn't dare to look directly at Captain Hadley, he just lowered his head and muttered: "Sir, I didn't know the rules before, so I came in a hurry this time..."

Byron took a few steps forward, came up to him, and said calmly, "That's not urgent, I just want to ask you—do you have this kind of good stuff?"

As he spoke, he threw the pack of cigarettes he brought out of the office straight into Reid's arms.

"...Sir, I haven't done this for some time..."

"Oh? Isn't there a mountain of gold and silver in here? How come it's stained, and you can still let it go?"

It is not stupid for Rhett to become the "postal company" with a good reputation in Shawshank Kerry.

Therefore, after he controlled his nervousness when facing the officer, he discovered Byron's true intention—he was not asking for benefits from the traffickers, but questioning the distribution channels of special tobacco.

Thinking of Captain Hadley's previous behavior, Rhett boldly said: "When you talked about the Ten Commandments of Moses earlier, you said that 'the murderer commits the sixth commandment, and the crime of indulging in drugs and gambling is equal'... I I really regret it, now I only sell some common tobacco that doesn’t harm anyone.”

There was a bit of sincerity in these words, but Byron didn't know that the prisoner on the other side took the opportunity to compliment him.

It's a pity that when he hears the "private goods" that he brought into the classics, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.He tried his best to maintain that stern face, until Rhett took his little brother, Rannard, back to work immediately.

When Byron was the only one left in the hall, he took out the stack of banknotes, frowned in disgust, and wished he could throw them all away.

However, if Byron wants to eradicate the special deal in the prison, he still needs to calm down and think about how to fool his greedy boss again.

Andy, who was left in the office of the prison guard team, meticulously supplemented the dimensions of each volume of design drawings and filled in the lack of ink and broken lines.

By the time the sun went down, Byron's reserved three-day workload was exhausted, and he was the only one in the room.

During this period, the little Trout came to look for Waley next door, and a few words passed through the door and window, and got into Andy's ears.

"...You ask me why I dare to come here and be lazy? Why don't I go to the confinement room to work on the most boring post tomorrow, and take advantage of the captain's rotation to go home and go out for a stroll to breathe a sigh of relief?"

"Why do you have to work overtime? Thanks to the sisters! Those three unlucky bastards will be locked up for two weeks..."

Andy naturally knew that according to the usual practice, the three sisters would not be locked up for so long.If it was two days ago, he might have guessed in his heart whether Byron made an exception because he valued his friends.

But now, Andy, who has heard the "Drunk Mantra", doesn't think he has such a big face.

Thinking about the consequences of those three bastards handing over the wrong bribe, Andy entered the cafeteria with a heavy heart, without looking at the things on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth mechanically.

"Hey, Andy, can stones be eaten? You have become friends with Captain Hadley. Are you so confident that your teeth are hard?!" Reid, who felt that he had escaped from the prison chief, followed Ann with difficulty concealing his joy. Dee was joking.

Andy paused as he brought the spoonful to his mouth, staring fixedly at his older black friend.

Then, nonchalantly say "I wouldn't say that's a 'friend', I'm just... a murderer who committed a crime, knows a little bit about drawing, an assistant, a good pet..."

Rhett wanted to say something more, but seeing the wry smile on his face, he couldn't utter a word.

Early the next morning, Byron stood beside the mahogany gate on the second floor, with a kraft paper bag tucked inside his right arm, waiting for the person in charge of Shawshank.

Warden Norton climbed up the stairs and saw Byron holding a file bag in his hand, his heart tightened: "Is Hadley going to resign and concentrate on being an architect?"Hey, he is capable and has saved me a lot of trouble, but unfortunately, I can't keep it...'

Fortunately, Byron did not disappoint him for too long. As soon as he entered the room, he took out a stack of banknotes and a few thin papers from the paper bag, and stacked them on both sides of the warden's large desk.

Just looking at the thickness, any fool would know to want the stack on the left—but Mr. Norton is very shrewd in terms of money.

His eyes faltered on the green dollar bills, and he stretched out his hand to the right.

The warden scanned a few lines, and Byron began to explain in good time: "Mr. Norton, Benson saw that you were busy yesterday, so he asked me to bring the 1000 yuan I owed you earlier...

I know he still needs you a lot, but... You see, I have some projects here, and I paid that little interest for him, is it enough? "

Norton saw at the end of the engineering contract that the labor unit had indicated that it was the Shawshank construction team, and that the entrustment fee on each page was above five figures.

This stack looks light and thin, but there are only four or five sheets.

Behind it is the construction project commission that Byron has exhausted his contacts and just gathered.

Norton thought about it in his heart, and he couldn't let go of both sides, so he asked, "Well, they are all good, but why do you have to take care of Benson's gang?"

"As you know, engineering requires a lot of physical strength. We have no shortage of hard-working people in Shawshank Prison, but we can't stand it. The prisoners smoke too much, and the prisoners are powerless."

Byron's words ended, and the rest of the matter was left to Warden Norton to weigh.

Norton knows that in the construction industry, it is still necessary to listen to the advice of professionals.

He pondered for a while, nodded his head and said, "You still have to think carefully about Benson's matter. I will tell him in the afternoon that everything ends here. You must keep these projects. Don't worry, the Shawshank construction team will be in place on schedule."

This incident gave the warden a more intuitive and profound understanding of the "money tree" under his jurisdiction.

The long-term development made him suppress the greed in his stomach, and his tone became softer: "Captain Byron, you have really worked hard for the development of the prison! When the time comes to pay those people's salaries, the rest will be half of yours." "

When talking about wages, Byron smiled inwardly: "This is to split the construction fee in half, how can there be any share for the workers?" '

So far, the legacy of the Three Sisters incident can be regarded as temporarily closed.

Gently pressing the center of his eyebrows with two fingers, Byron emptied his mind and eased his tense nerves.

But as soon as he lost his mind, he habitually walked back to his office area.

Looking up, Byron saw Andy leaving his seat to say hello to him, and Byron subconsciously showed a smile: "Good morning, thank you for your hard work..."

"Mr. Hadley, it's all part of the job, why bother?" Andy lowered his head slightly, and handed over a stack of organized pictures.

Byron had nothing to guard against in front of his acquaintances, so he failed to notice the change in Andy's attitude for a while.

However, after a few hours of silent co-existence, he should know no matter how slow his reaction was—the dizzy nonsense yesterday really offended Andy terribly.

That’s right, this is neither the hometown where brothers and friends call each other “Sun Thief (Sun Zi, pronounced in Beijing dialect)”, nor is it the 21st century where the richest man is called Dad.

Another person ran up to him, and suddenly said "baby", Byron couldn't stand it.

What's more, Andy Dufresne, who was a banker with a high social status when he was outside, must be very angry.

But when Byron was asked to explain, he became very stupid, and after a long while, he couldn't find a suitable opening sentence.

Until Andy finished today's work and returned to the prison building for dinner, Byron's mouth was glued and he didn't say a word.

Resting his chin with his right hand, his eyes wandered meaninglessly on the table, and when he saw the photo album, his gray eyes suddenly froze.

Picking up the dark green leather booklet in one hand, Byron flipped through it; from beginning to end, comparing and comparing repeatedly, he held the pen and fell into a new round of contemplation.

A few hours later, Andy returned to the leftmost cell on the second floor against the dim light in the corridor.He sat on the edge of the bed, like a lifeless clay sculpture.

Reaching for the Bible with his right hand, Andy closed his eyes and felt for the outline of the stone hammer.

"Wow!" A palm-sized photo fell out, and his eyes widened in an instant.

After confirming that no one was around, he quickly picked it up and saw a sentence on the back: 'This is my son, Archibald.yesterday, no offense'

Andy turned the photo over with some doubts.

Captain Byron was wearing a neat suit, and his slightly curly dark golden hair was neatly gathered.

Holding a fat boy with a round face and big eyes in his arms melted his solemn air.One big and one small, the smile is very nice.

Looking at Byron's standard silly father-like smile, Andy raised the corners of his lips and said softly: "This stupid look seems familiar."

The author has something to say:

The author has something to say

but today is so tired

everyone's been waiting

let's chat tomorrow

If it is updated tomorrow, it is probably a bug

I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year

The following text comes from the author of the New Year's Eve:

The Ten Commandments of Moses are the Basic Code of Conduct in the Bible

It has an influence on the legal system and moral concepts of Western countries in later generations

Article [-]: You shall not kill

There should be no mention of drugs in the Bible

Therefore, as the article says, these are "carrying private goods"

However, I do feel that those who make money

It is equivalent to slow murder, so the crime of living is inevitable, and the crime of death is also inevitable

It is said that there is no salary for prison work, but there will be a certain amount of remuneration

If I understand correctly, Norton's Corruption Project

Much of it comes from construction work: building bridges and dikes, digging ditches

So, let the warden start greedy in advance...

Please remember what it said in the copywriting that "the protagonist is an exquisite egoist (probably only cares about himself and the few people he cares about)"

Byron took charge of prison guards' violent law enforcement and special deals because it touched his bottom line

At the same time, if you don't care, it will bring him trouble sooner or later

As for whether the prisoners are eating well, there are many conflicts among them.

He really doesn't care much about whether he is tired of going out to work and how much he gets paid.

Of course, Andy Little Sun will gradually ignite Captain Byron's sympathy!

We can expect him to do better in the future~

The author is currently only looking forward to the ingot fishing activity at night hahaha
