After the long summer passed, after the first leaves fell quietly, it didn't take a few days for Chang'an City to have the gloomy atmosphere of autumn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After a relaxing summer, the Inspectorate began to intensively prepare for the inspection and summary work before the year.
Wei Qian advanced the time of this year's inspection by a few days and took Cui Ning south.
Cui Ning rarely went down the mountain until he was eight years old, and the farthest place he had been to was only the town at the foot of the mountain, so he didn't know where his master was, but fortunately he found his senior brother in time.
The inspection work of the Supervision Department is mainly to take away the files of major cases in various places, and before taking them away, it must first examine whether there is a mistake or omission in the first instance.
The results of this inspection were an important part of the performance evaluation of local officials, so Wei Qian was very courteous wherever they went.
Gangnam Province is rich, the transportation is convenient, the more people there are, the more information they receive, the more complicated people's hearts become, so the cases in Gangnam Province have always been the most difficult to manage, not to mention complicated, most of the prisoners are particularly brainy.
In the past two years, Wei Qian has been in charge of the inspection of Jiangnan Province, and the local officials have quite experienced the efficiency and accuracy of his work, and what is even more understanding is that this person refuses all entertainment, and when he arrives, he will let people move all the case files, and then lock himself in the house until everything is finished.
Although he was not as particularly fond of overt and covert visits as the other Inspectors, he was the most demanding and difficult of all the Inspectors.
"Fifth brother, shall we go directly to the official office? The others in my supervision department said that it would only work if they had to make an unannounced visit. Cui Ning wondered.
Wei Qian said, "Go to the official office first, and the secret visit is also to be visited, but if it is known, it will not be considered an unannounced visit." β
It was dark, and there were not many pedestrians on the official road.
Wei Qian drove the horse to her side and continued, "The people who can go to Jiangnan Province to serve as officials either have a background or are extremely shrewd, if they know that I have a habit of making secret visits, they will definitely deal with the people involved in unjust, false and wrongly decided cases before I come." They know that I only like to read cases, so they put most of their energy into writing a case file that has no loopholes. β
After all, the risk of killing people is too great, and if they can hide it in other ways, no one will do it easily.
It's not that Wei Qian is too arrogant, he can't see the loopholes, only the most real case. Therefore, his general practice is to go through all the case files first, and then directly pick out the doubtful cases for random retrial or unannounced visits to directly collect evidence.
After a year or two of inspections, most of the officials knew his strength, but people, there is always a fluke mentality, and these people who stand out from the many scholars always feel that they are smarter than others.
Cui Ning asked, "Has the fifth brother ever met a particularly uncooperative official?"
The supervisor next to him said, "I know this, don't talk about it far away, let's just talk about last year!" I followed Lord Wei to Daping County, and the Lord also read all the case files as usual, and the county magistrate was also very cooperative, just when we felt that everything was going well, the magistrate actually took someone to set fire to all the case files in the middle of the night. β
This inspector is about 20 years old, he was transferred by Wei Qian from a place, named Lu Pingxin, he is a very lively and talkative character, he talks about things concisely, clearly and with ups and downs, Cui Ning listens to it with relish.
"It's burned! Did the fifth brother find out the evidence of his arson?"
Lu Ping said in his heart, "But that's not all! It took Lord Wei half an hour to find evidence of his arson, but he didn't rush to expose it, but locked himself in the house for three days!"
Cui Ning saw that he was deliberately stuck, and hurriedly urged, "Say it quickly!"
"The lord locked himself in the house for three days, and actually wrote all the files silently, and when the review was over, he threw out the evidence of arson in Nazhi County, and said, 'You can set the fire half a year early, burn a hundred, and at most be an official, unlike the current punishment for several crimes, this life...... Oh, I'm afraid you won't have a next time.'" β
At that time, Wei Qian's tone of speech was very sincere, and he really couldn't be more annoying.
Lu Pingxin learned three points, and he already laughed at Cui Ning so much, "I'm afraid that the county magistrate doesn't know that the fifth brother has always been well-read and has a strong memory, and he has the ability to never forget, so he wants to destroy the case file after the fifth brother takes over!"
She smiled and looked at Wei Qian, "I used to think that the fifth brother was full of righteousness and always spoke seriously, but I didn't expect there to be such a side." β
When Cui Ning first arrived in Qinghe, he always felt that Wei Qian was like a big Cui Qian, old and serious, not smiling, and only after getting acquainted with it did he realize that the two had completely different temperaments.
Cui Qian's mouth is very poisonous, and he is angry at every turn, Wei Qian is really serious, even his love words are very serious and serious, he doesn't like to ridicule or deliberately ridicule when he speaks, she really didn't expect him to say such things.
"I wrote the case file for about three days, and my heart was not very calm. Wei Qian smiled, in fact, he was very lively when he was a child, and his mouth was also smart, but after experiencing some things, his temperament changed, and then there were several years after that, and he didn't talk or smile when he was an adult, he only knew how to read.
At that time, he was a little naΓ―ve, always thinking that after stuffing more things into his head, the original memory would take up less space, and there would not be so many shadows and fears in his heart.
In the past many years, he thought it was very effective, until he met Cui Ning. I realized the lightness and happiness of having her by my side, and realized that the past years were just self-suppression.
"I'm going to enter the city!" Cui Ning looked up and saw the familiar building in front of him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
