The next day, Shi Qingqing got up early in the morning, and Liu Bo drove the carriage to the gate of the Criminal Department.

Shi Qingqing held the dim sum that Xi'er had made before dawn in his hand, hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed the dates and went down, wiped the crumbs on the side of his mouth, and smiled at Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, you won't be used to pick me up at night, I'll go back by myself." ”

After speaking, he ran back to the shadow without waiting for Uncle Liu's reply, Uncle Liu couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself, he must have run so fast because he was afraid of his refusal! Liu Bo looked at Shi Qingqing's cheerful back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of when he first came to the mansion......

How much the eldest lady is like the second lady!

……

As soon as Shi Qingqing entered the door, a prison officer wearing a red and blue cloth uniform came up to lead Shi Qingqing.

Although he tried his best to suppress it, he could still see the murderous aura on his face, and Shi Qingqing estimated that this person should often 'deal' with death row prisoners.

It was the first time for Shi Qingqing to enter this kind of place, and he couldn't help but poke his head out and look around, the black iron was the wall, the bluestone pavement, the Ming tile was on it, the time when the guards changed the guard was about half an hour, and the soldiers on patrol were going back and forth for a quarter of an hour, staggered with each other, and what's more, Shi Qingqing actually found that a corner of the prison door was very similar to a formation in the Dumen Academy, could it be that it was all set up by Xia Han?

The criminal department is under the control of Xia Han, there should be no doubt, Shi Qingqing couldn't help but nodded secretly, I didn't expect Xia Han to know a lot.

Build this prison of the Ministry of Punishment like a living copper wall.

"Where are you taking me?" Shi Qingqing looked at the prison officer in front of him and asked, how many turns have it been.

Hearing this, the prison officer saluted respectfully, presumably because he was instructed not to reveal the bloody aura on his body so as not to frighten Shi Qingqing, so his voice was lowered a little, and he looked a little twisted, "Emperor Ji forgives, because you are here for the first time, Lord Qiu is afraid of scaring people, so let the lower official take you around the prison, so you have to go for a while." ”

So that's the case, Shi Qingqing looked at the prison officer's awkward appearance, understood, and said with a smile: "Ming** take me out of the prison again, no need to go around in circles." ”

The prison officer seemed to have never seen such a bold woman, and his eyes widened in faux puff and he let out an 'ah'.

Shi Qingqing felt more and more interesting about this person, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"There is no name under it, the seventh master said, people here don't need names."

Shi Qingqing could even think of Xia Han's cold expression when he said this, "In this case, I will call you nameless in the future, you don't have to deliberately suppress yourself, I am a dignified emperor and a member of the Shi family, how can I be afraid of this." ”

"Yes, I will do as the emperor commands." The nameless was relieved when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that the rumored emperor Ji was so close to the people, so he couldn't help but change his understanding of women, and walked in front to introduce Shi Qingqing.

Shi Qingqing looked at the nameless back and frowned slightly, sure enough, he was a person who had experienced the aura of killing, and at this moment, once the sense of oppression between life and death was released, this was still a small prison officer, Shi Qingqing couldn't imagine how Xia Han suppressed this qiē, showing that feeling of being dustless like an immortal in the mountains.

"Emperor, you see, there are some light prisoners who are imprisoned here, most of them have been arrested for sneaking and fighting, the long is a year or two and the short is a month, the guards here are more lively, and the prison officials are mostly fresh faces, there, there are medium prisoners, most of them are because of the officials or businessmen who have committed crimes, and they have been fined and confiscated their family property to be locked up for another decade or two, and the guards here are changed every year, and then there is the place of death row prisoners, some are imprisoned for life, and some are to be beheaded after the autumn, The guards there are not changed until the death row inmates are dead. ”

"But to prevent the prisoner from getting acquainted with the prison officer?"

"Yes, the seventh master said, and also prevent anyone from sneaking in and robbing the prison."

Shi Qingqing nodded lightly, and asked again, "Then where are we going now?" ”

Nameless leaned slightly and replied respectfully, "Originally, it was on top of the death row prisoners to deal with the cases that happened every day in the local and around the imperial capital, but because of the emperor's arrival, the seventh master set up the jade hall in the northwest, which is quieter and more suitable for the emperor." ”

"I see, let's hurry up!"

"Yes!"

When Shi Qingqing came to the so-called jade hall, he looked at the two words on the plaque and was surprised, it turned out that this 'jade' was not the other 'prison'.

"See Emperor Ji, in the next autumn Tong, today because the Seventh Prince went to Nangang to assist Lord Zai's father, so the lower officials will handle the matters of entering the ministry for the Emperor Ji."

is a thin, cheekbones person, who looks like a group of murderous prison officers, and is also very delicate.

"I'm tired of Lord Qiu." Shi Qingqing bowed slightly and returned the salute, no matter what, he is only a fourth grade in addition to the false name of the emperor, and he can be regarded as a subordinate of others, so he should naturally be modest.

"Don't dare to be." Qiu Tong hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, looking flattered, "Emperor Ji, please go with the lower officials." ”

"Well, Lord Qiu doesn't need to be like this, I'm just a fourth-grade judge now, but forget my identity as an emperor for the time being." Shi Qingqing said with a straight face, she didn't want everyone to come here and treat her as a daughter, offering her, for fear of bumping into her.

Qiu Tong understood what Shi Qingqing meant, and bowed down to respond, "Yes, in fact, the Seventh Master also had such an explanation when he left, if the emperor needs anything, the emperor can command it at any time." ”

At this time, it was Shi Qingqing's turn to be stunned, and he didn't expect Xia Han to guess that he would be like this.

"Did your grandfather say when he would come back?"

Qiu Tong's eyes rolled slightly, as if he was thinking about whether Xia Han had an explanation, and after a while, he replied, "Back to Emperor Ji, no, maybe this matter is too tricky, so the return date is undecided." ”

"Hmm." Shi Qingqing just asked casually, but he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, remembering that today was his first time at work, he couldn't help asking: "Then what do I need to do today?" ”

"Emperor, please." Qiu Tong led Shi Qingqing to a place full of files, pointed to a book case and said: "Emperor Ji is here today to familiarize yourself with the historical files of the Criminal Department, and after having a preliminary understanding of the Criminal Department's handling methods and various matters that need attention, Xia Guan will take Emperor Ji to the scene tomorrow." ”

Since Xia Han left the imperial capital, Shi Qingqing understood that the people below would not let him do something dangerous for himself, and it was quite surprising to hear that Qiu Tong said that he could go to the scene tomorrow.

"It's okay, then Lord Qiu will go and get busy first!"

"Yes, the next official will retire." After speaking, he saluted Shi Qingqing, and then ordered to Nameless, "You stay and serve Emperor Ji and protect Emperor Ji's safety." ”

Nameless naturally nodded and accepted the order.

After Shi Qingqing sent Qiu Tong away, he went into the room to check carefully, from the beginning of the founding of the Northern Xia to the present, countless case files were placed in front of him, Shi Qingqing was a little dazzling, and he was dazzled.

Then, he turned his head and asked, "Nameless, do you know what case files people who have just entered the criminal department will read?" ”

That nameless didn't expect Shi Qingqing to ask him, scratching his hair and being very embarrassed, "Back to Emperor Ji, not everyone can view the case file, and every adult who comes will not discuss these with him." ”

Seeing Shi Qingqing's disappointed expression, the prison officer thought about it again and said: "Why don't you take a look at the case files of the emperor's ascension to the throne, the fourth year of Changzhi and the first year of Baijing, and the eleventh year of Changyi. ”

Shi Qingqing smiled lightly when he heard this, like a sunflower flower plate growing towards the sun, blooming and illuminating in the punishment department of the black wall bluestone.

"Thank you!"

"Emperor Ji is polite, hehe!" Nameless smiled honestly, and was very happy to see that he could help Shi Qingqing.

Shi Qingqing pursed his lips, and began to look for the case files of these years and read them carefully. R1152
