Lu Junzhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has been in a good mood in the past few days.

He knew that many people called themselves the Blood Yama King, and he was even called the number one vicious dog of the Tang Dynasty.

But he never cared.

If he really cared about that, he wouldn't be where he is today.

At that time, he was ostracized by the yamen in the Criminal Department, and if he hadn't endured the humiliation and handled things carefully, I am afraid that he would have been expelled from the Criminal Department long ago.

How many cold eyes I suffered in the Criminal Department in those years, how many hot faces are pasted up now.

The people of the world regard him as an enemy, and he doesn't care, as long as he can win the favor of the saint and be respected by the saint, then his position in the court will be unshakable.

The yamen of the various divisions did not dare to get too close to the people of the Criminal Department, in the final analysis, they were afraid, and Lu Junzhong enjoyed the fear of others about him.

He knew that his articles were mediocre, and the poems he wrote were difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and there were not many major cases to be handled in recent years, so the official of the criminal department thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind last year to compile a very special book to pass on to future generations and let his name be passed on.

The book focuses on the process of investigating various criminal cases, but does not focus on the cases themselves, but describes in detail what punishments were used in these cases, and how the prisoners would react when these punishments were applied to them.

Fan Wenzheng's case, did not implicate too much, this is the meaning of the saint, Lu Junzhong's meaning to the saint has never been the slightest mistake, since the saint does not want the court to be too stormy, then he will accept it when he sees it, this time he was praised by the saint, and he was awarded the earl, he was already very satisfied.

Lu Junzhong is a cool official, but he is also a scholar.

In the case of Pham Van Chin, more than a dozen officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs were arrested, including Fan Van Zheng, all of whom confessed to their crimes after being tortured by the Criminal Department.

The bloody torture process turned into words, and Lu Junzhong felt his blood burn again.

Therefore, after each case was closed, the lord of the ministry would spend a few days describing the interrogation process into a book.

And this book has a very simple name, called [Tang Xinglu].

Even in the yamen of the Ministry of War, Lu Junzhong is also cautious, he has five office courtyards in the yamen of the Criminal Department, each courtyard is guarded openly and secretly, except for a few henchmen around him, even most of the people in the Criminal Department are not sure where the Ministry of Justice is working.

Zhu Dongshan is Lu Junzhong's first confidant, others may not know Lu Junzhong's whereabouts, but Zhu Dongshan is very clear that only Zhu Dongshan can come to see Lu Junzhong at any time in the entire Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Junzhong immediately raised his head.

He knew that he had too many enemies and how many people wanted to kill him, so he had always been very concerned about his own safety, and he didn't have much to do, almost all of them stayed in the Yamen of the Criminal Department, even if he went out, there were many guards around him, and he would never let the assassins take advantage of it.

"Fun?"

"A convoy has just arrived in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War." Zhu Dongshan said in a low voice: "The car is loaded with weapons, but the situation is very wrong. ”

"Something?" Lu Junzhong put down Zhu Yan in his hand, knowing very well in his heart that he was writing a book these days, and even Zhu Dongshan would not come to disturb him for no reason.

Zhu Dongshan stepped forward quickly and arched his hand: "My lord, there is a good show to watch again." ”

Lu Junzhong was puzzled: "Why did you drive the car to the military headquarters?" After the local prefecture received the weapons, didn't they all go out of the castle through the Kanemitsu Gate on the east side of Kyoto? After coming out of Wudefang, he went directly to the east and drove to the military headquarters, which was to turn back to the west, even if Xue Keyong didn't understand, the people from the armory would teach him how to go. ”

"That's what's weird." Zhu Dongshan chuckled: "The lower officials saw that Han Tian of the Treasury Department was panicked, and he also followed the side of the convoy, as well as Qin Xiao, who was also in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War at this moment. ”

Lu Junzhong still admired the eyesight of his henchman very much, and asked, "What's the matter?" Whose convoy? ”

"Xue Ke uses." Zhu Dongshan said: "A few days ago, Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou battalion who escorted the prisoners into Beijing, took his soldiers and drove five or six carriages to the yamen of the military department. ”

"Keep an eye on that side and see what the hell Shek is up to." Lu Junzhong's eyes flashed: "Fan Wenzheng's case has just ended, I just want to rest for a while, don't send me another big gift at this time." ”

The people of the Criminal Department once again stared at the Ministry of War, and the other departments and yamen on this street naturally noticed the movement in front of the Ministry of War, and the officials naturally did not come forward, but they still sent their subordinates over to see what the situation was.

"Qin Xiao?" Lu Junzhong touched his goatee and asked, "By the way, Qin Xiao was left in the military department, what errand did Dou Wei give him?" ”

Zhu Dongshan said: "I heard that I became an official in the Treasury Department. ”

Han Tian's face was pale, and the sweat flowing down his forehead never stopped.

He didn't expect Xue Keyong to be tough to this point.

Although everyone did not approach the yamen of the military department, they all watched from afar.

In front of the yamen of the military department, several carriages leaned together, and a circle was protected by Xue Ke with his soldiers, Xue Ke rode on horseback, staring at the gate of the military department, without the intention of dismounting.

He really couldn't figure it out, Xue Keyong really didn't even care about his future?

But at this time, he was no longer in the mood to think about Xue Keyong's future, but was thinking about his own life.

I was so good at talking about it, and even told Xue Keyong the name of the nobleman behind the scenes, I thought that after Xue Keyong knew, he was afraid in his heart and would never dare to publicize this matter.

Who knew that the commander of the Yuzhou battalion not only did not help to cover up, but looking at this posture, it was clear that he wanted to make as much trouble as possible.

For such a big case, Kyoto Prefecture is not qualified to investigate, and the only ones who are qualified can only be Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple has become an ornament after the rise of Lu Junzhong, and its biggest role is to be responsible for the execution of criminals, so Han Tian thought with his ass that this big case must still fall into the hands of the Criminal Department in the end.

The Criminal Department has just finished cleaning up Fan Wenzheng, and the smell of blood at the entrance of the vegetable market has not yet dissipated, and if the Criminal Department kills again, naturally another group of officials will fall to the ground.

Once the remnant knife is revealed in public, it will be known to the whole court, and it is impossible for the court to deal with it secretly.

The imperial court will naturally send someone to investigate thoroughly, and the first one who will be unlucky is naturally himself, the head of the Treasury Department.

Out of the corner of his eye, he found a person standing beside him, glanced at it, and saw that it was Qin Xiao, and a wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, seeing Qin Xiao's innocent appearance, he couldn't wait to pick up a knife and rush up to chop this person to pieces.

He only wanted him a horse a few days ago, but he wanted his own life.

Han Day's heart fluttered when he thought of Lu Junzhong's eerie and terrifying face, but when he thought of the noble man behind the scenes, Han Day's legs became weak.

He knew that even if the Ministry of Punishment could spare himself, that noble man would never let him go.

But why should it be arranged in the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War?

An official hurriedly walked from the yamen of the Ministry of War, naturally it was not Dou Wei, Han Tian knew, it was Deng Taichu, the squire of the Ministry of War, who had just taken office.

Han Tian was angry and annoyed, he really couldn't understand why the newly appointed Dou Butang had sent Han Yunong far away to the south, why he would leave this person in Kyoto.

If you just stay in Kyoto,

Xue Ke sneered and said loudly: "Come on, open the box and get a knife!" ”

Han Tian shouted like a launcher: "Don't ..... Never! He looked up at Xue Keyong and begged: "Commander Xue, if there is anything to see the Lord of the Ministry Hall, you ..... You can't make a claim.....!"

Deng Shilang stood in front of the door, glanced at it, and then asked Xue Keyong, "Xue Keyong, what are you doing here?" Once you've received your weapons, why don't you go out of the city from the Golden Light Gate? Looking at Han Day, he asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you tell them that after receiving the weapons, they must leave from the Golden Light Gate?" Why is the car pulled here? Suzaku Street is a place where various departments and yamen do errands, and what kind of system does it become to bring a group of people to pull a cart here? ”

Han Tian was already on his knees, not even daring to speak.

Xue Keyong waited until the soldiers retreated, finally dismounted, stepped forward, picked up a barrier knife, and without saying a word, slashed down at the pile of barrier knives.

"Choke!"

It's just that Xue Ke used his soldiers to prohibit it, Xue Ke used an order, who dared to hesitate, someone had already pried open the box, and four or five soldiers each took out a few barrier knives from the box, stepped forward, and threw the barrier knives under the steps in front of the gate of the military headquarters like garbage.

There was a choking sound, and more than a dozen thin barrier knives were piled on the ground.

"Lord Deng, this is the weapon that General Bei received from the armory." Xue Keyong had been to the military department two days ago, and he also recognized Deng Taichu, and said lightly: "The humble general is here, just to ask, can such a weapon really go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

Deng Taichu raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see that many people from the various divisions and yamen were watching from afar, Xue Ke used a broken knife, and the group of people also saw it in their eyes, knowing that things were not good, and said to Han Day: "Han Day, what happened?" Come with me, and go and show yourself to the minister. Xiang Xue Ke said: "Xue Keyong, you wait here first!" ”

There was a crisp sound, and the barrier knife in Xue Ke's hand broke instantly, and the pile of barrier knives that were cut down also cracked.

When Deng Taichu saw this, he changed color.

Xue Keyong glanced at Qin Xiao, his eyes were sharp, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and the smile was meaningful.

Han Tian glanced at Qin Xiao, his eyes were full of resentment, and he pushed Qin Xiao away, and then followed Deng Taichu into the yamen.

Han Tian barely stood up, but his legs were weak, and he almost knelt down again, Qin Xiao next to him was quick to move, reached out to support Han Day, and said with concern: "Be careful, adults!" ”

In the crowd in the distance, the people sent by the Criminal Department saw it clearly, quickly ran back to the yamen of the Criminal Department, and reported everything they saw to Zhu Dongshan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who was waiting for news. ”
