Chapter 107: Arraignment

"Yes, the Son of Heaven demanded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Cheng Rui said, "I'm not in the court either, but General Cao probably didn't say anything, otherwise there would be a record in the paperwork." ”

Lin Jun suddenly realized that this was not just a dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, but had risen to a direct open and secret battle between the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao. It seems that although the Son of Heaven is weak, he still wants to take back the power from Cao Cao, and today she is just a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, her heart calmed down a little, since it was a competition between the two major forces, Cao Cao and Xun Yu would definitely come to her aid.

"Hmm......" Lin Jun hesitated and said to Cheng Rui, "You put down the side in advance today, and accompany me to sort out all the sacrificial expenses of the Ministry of Rites in the first half of the year." ”

The two dragged out all the previous account books and looked through them one by one, to Lin Jun's surprise, although Cheng Rui said that many details, such as the name of the person in charge, the reason and other items were not recorded, but the date, amount, and number of transactions were recorded clearly.

Since the establishment of Xudu, this ritual department has to sacrifice every three or five times, one will say that it will pray for the Son of Heaven, one will pray for the queen and the concubine, and one will pray for General Cao to win the battle. The highest month was actually nine sacrifices, and the cost of this was estimated to be exchanged for more than a dozen carts of grain and grass, but most of this money should have fallen into the pockets of that group of old ministers.

With this group of old ministers coming here, it's no wonder that the Han Dynasty is going to fall, there is really no one.

Not long after, an internal supervisor summoned her, but she was a face-to-face, not Chen Fu as she thought.

The man said: "Lin Jun, please follow me to the Criminal Department." ”

Cheng Rui frowned and said, "Why is it so fast, generally the arraignment has to wait until the next day." ”

Criminal Department? Arraigned? Isn't it just a court reprimand, so serious all at once? Lin Jun was a little puzzled in his heart, but considering that he had a lot of evidence of excessive spending in the Ministry of Rites, he was quite calm.

She instructed Cheng Rui: "You will ask a reliable person to move all these bamboo rolls to the Criminal Department later, and you must keep an eye on the whole process, so as not to let people lose or drop their bags." ”

"Yes." Cheng Rui immediately responded.

Lin Jun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he treated Cheng Rui well during this time, and there was still a credible person to rely on at the critical moment, otherwise the enemy would attack at this moment, and he would have to beware of his own people biting back.

When she walked out of the hall, she saw a large row of inner prisons who came to "pick up" her, and she was surrounded all the way to the Punishment Department, as if she was going directly to the execution ground.

In the main hall of the Criminal Department, sitting in the first place was a gray-bearded old man, Lin Jun had never seen this person, but it must be the "Uncle Dong Guo" who was responsible for investigating the matter thoroughly in Cheng Rui's mouth. Uncle Dong Guo knows that Dong Guifei's father next to the Son of Heaven is a complete Son of Heaven faction.

There are two people standing at the head, which are the secretary of the criminal department and the secretary of the Ministry of rites. Seeing the two whispering, Lin Jun only felt a chill down his spine, as if he had fallen into some trap.

The people in the Criminal Department were all quite well-trained, and as soon as Lin Jun came, they stood up one after another, and the entire hall instantly became serious and solemn.

Uncle Dong Guo, who was in the first place, shouted: "Lin Jun in the household department, are you guilty?!" ”

Lin Jun didn't kneel either, and said straightforwardly: "The lower official is not guilty." ”

Uncle Dong Guo asked: "Since you took office, you have repeatedly deducted the sacrifice fees of the Ministry of Rites, can you have such a thing?" ”

Lin Jun said again: "The lower officials are not qualified to deduct fees, and all fee allocations are subject to the instructions of Lord Shangshuling. ”

This pot can only be thrown to Xun Yu again, but this is also what he meant, and he can't ignore it. But where is Xun Yu now, he won't know about it.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stood up from the side, saluted Uncle Dong Guo, and said: "The lower officials have evidence that can prove that Lin Jun in the household department and Cheng Rui, the head of the household department, did not enter the 'Wenhua Palace' of Shangshu Ling once in the middle of last month. ”

Lin Jun couldn't help but get nervous, and heard him say again: "So the lower officials think that Lin Jun has never reported our request to Lord Shang Shuling, it is all her own arbitrary assertions!" ”

Uncle Dong Guo hurriedly asked, "Where is the evidence?" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "The lower officials have asked the Criminal Department to interrogate the internal prisoners who are employed in the household department and the Wenhua Palace, and they all prove that Lin Jun has never entered and exited the Wenhua Palace last month!" ”

Uncle Dong Guo called the secretary of the criminal department again and asked him if he had such a thing.

Shang Shu of the Criminal Department said: "This is indeed the case. ”

Lin Jun now understands that this is a play that has already been rehearsed by the Ministry of Rites, the Criminal Department and Uncle Dong Guo. Mandarin Hall ...... Oh no, I was afraid of disturbing Xun Yu or bringing rumors to Xun Yu, so I really never went in.

She quibbled: "The lower officials have not entered the Wenhua Hall for fear of disturbing Shang Shuling, but they have already reported this matter to Shang Shuling after the dispersal of the value. ”

Uncle Dong Guo asked again: "The documents in the palace are not allowed to be taken out of the palace, do you know this?" ”

I don't know, dizzy.

Lin Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The lower official is verbally telling Lord Shang Shuling. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was smiling.

Uncle Dong Guo slapped the table angrily: "Oral? Will Shang Shuling accept your oral presentation? Is there any evidence? ”

"Yes." Lin Jun still didn't change his words, "You invite Shang Shuling, and he will definitely fulfill what I said." ”

Uncle Dong Guo suddenly changed from anger to laughter, and Lin Jun saw that his expression changed so quickly, he only felt ominous.

"I don't know if Shang Shuling's request to marry you as a flat wife has anything to do with him shielding you?" He asked with a smile.

Lin Jun only felt that her head was a penny, it had been several years since this matter, and since the night she refused, no one mentioned it, how did Uncle Dong Guo know!

The ridicule around her surrounded her like flowing water, and today this crime must be blamed, not only her, but even Xun Yu can't hide it! It's a scandal......

Uncle Dong Guo saw that Lin Jun did not speak, so he announced: "The criminal minister Lin Jun abused his power and deducted money and salary......"

"Slow!" Lin Jun said loudly, she still has a chance, "I don't know if it is reasonable for the Ministry of Rites to sacrifice nine times in a month, and the Criminal Department to purchase a batch of torture tools every seven days?" ”

She took advantage of the fact that Uncle Dong Guo didn't think about the rhetoric, and said: "The lower official has a record of the previous application for money and salary by the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department, please allow the lower official to submit it!" ”

"I don't have to." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu came out again, "Xiaguan has all the records of the sacrificial expenses since the beginning of this year, and I don't know if I need to present it to this Hubu Langzhong." ”

"Present it." Uncle Dong Guo said.

An internal supervisor presented the Ministry of Rites' own account book to Lin Jun, she stabilized her mind, quickly flipped through it, and found that this account book really clearly recorded the monthly sacrifices, including the details of the sacrifices of incense, clothing, and personnel.

He dared to show this to Lin Jun?!

Lin Jun handed over the account book with both hands and said to Uncle Dong Guo: "Lord Dong, the Ministry of Rites has sacrificed a total of nine times in March, spending a total of 34,000 yuan, and the officials think that it is not compliant. ”

As soon as she said this, the audience laughed again. This is the third time they have laughed. (To be continued.) )
