The criminal department is located in the Xuanwu Gate in the west of the imperial city, and is on the same street with the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, but it is far away from the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, so it is also called "Xicao".

The so-called prison of the Criminal Department, also known as the prison of heaven, is different from the edict prison where officials are arrested by the emperor's order, and the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department are all prisoners who have been verified by the department, and there are all people in it, but without exception they are all death row prisoners.

After Wei Liangchen took control of Dongchang, he immediately rushed to the Criminal Department on horseback with a car sticker to mention the Qin prisoners Wang Yueqian and Confucius.

Accompanied by Cui Yingyuan, the former fanzi, and more than 100 fans in three classes, the team leaders are all secretaries.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Wei Liangchen ordered to rush on horseback. Hundreds of people in Dongchang galloped wildly in the city, and they were the sideways of passers-by.

However, in the past two days, the officials in Beijing have been sent out, and the factory guards have been investigating and arresting all the doors, and the people are not surprised. And because of the impact of this case, there are not many pedestrians on the street, which is to avoid the suspicion of disturbing the people.

From Donghua Gate to Xuanwu Gate west of the Imperial City, it is necessary to bypass the Drum Tower in the north, and after about three minutes, Wei Liangchen and his party rushed to the Criminal Department.

After turning over and dismounting, I saw that there was a courtyard on the side of the yamen, the courtyard had no door, and there was a big drum in it.

The purpose of the imperial court to set up the Dengwen Drum Courtyard here is for the people in Beijing to complain about the drums and voice their grievances, and the "Da Ming Law" stipulates that if the people beat the drums, the officials on duty must deal with it immediately.

During the Chenghua period, there was a criminal department duty officer who did not deal with the people's drumming in time, not only was he demoted to Yunnan, but also involved a group of people in the criminal department, which also indirectly contributed to Wang Zhi's establishment of the West Factory.

Therefore, when Wei Liangchen read history in his previous life, he often sighed that big things were promoted by inconspicuous small things.

It's just that in this dynasty, this Dengwen drum is rarely beaten, and the symbolism is more than the practical meaning. This Dengwen Drum Courtyard has also become a place where people from all over the country submit complaints, which is the same as the nature of Wei Liangchen's previous life to receive petitions.

Cui Yingyuan had just surrendered, and he had the intention to behave in front of Wei Liangchen, and hurriedly whispered to inform the Criminal Department that the prison was in the northwest corner of the Criminal Department compound, but there was no need to enter through the gate, and the prison had a small door in the northwest corner, which was used for the prisoner's family to deliver goods and for the guards to enter and exit.

The criminal department had its own soldiers on duty in front of it, but it was a soldier of the Wucheng Military Department.

These soldiers on duty didn't know Wei Liangchen, but when they saw a group of Dongchang fans dismounting in front of the gate of the criminal department, they were frightened and didn't know what happened to them.

The long-sighted man hurriedly entered without saying a word, but he reported to the officer in charge. Several officials who were entering and exiting the yamen were also shocked by the situation in front of them, and there was no sensitive one who was there to see what was going on, and the sensitive one immediately frowned and retreated.

Thanks to Wanli's dismissal of officials, the Criminal Department has not had an official for three years.

Now presiding over the affairs of the criminal department is the squire Yang Qiming, Wanli eight years of Jinshi background, is the science in the north of the people, the style of science is very good, called "dignified bones, there is the wind of broken steps." ”

During this time, Yang Qiming was on duty as a director, and he was ready not to go home for half a month, just like Fuqing, who was undressed in the cabinet.

Cui Yingyuan asked whether to enter, Wei Liangchen shook his head and said that he didn't need to enter the Criminal Department, but he could go to the prison to pick up people.

He has an edict, he has a driving sticker, and he has a lot of people, so he needs to go through any formalities in the Criminal Department, what is the difference between taking off his pants and farting.

At that moment, he ordered all the fans to follow him to the prison of the Criminal Department to raise people.

Although the prison is a prison, it does not occupy a large area, because the prisoners in the prison are mainly death row prisoners in the Gyeonggi area.

The prisoners in the capital, but they are not enough to be executed, and they are generally locked up in the prison of Shuntianfu and do not enjoy the treatment of the prison. Every year, there are autumn executions for death row prisoners, so there are not many death row prisoners held before the autumn execution, so there is no need to occupy much land and build many cells.

Wei Liangchen originally thought that there would definitely be a "heavenly prison" door plaque in the prison of the Criminal Department, but after arriving at the ground, he found that there was only a small door and no door plaque. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice.

However, at this time, there was a team of brocade guards stationed in front of the small gate, and the number was about thirty or forty. In addition, there are more than 20 soldiers of the Criminal Department, and there are no people in front of the door, and it looks really heavily guarded.

Needless to say, this is the result of the demon case.

The Jinyi guard led the team of a hundred households, and when he saw a group of people rushing towards the prison, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Heaven and earth are heavy, come and stop!" ”

With his shouting, more than a dozen brocade guards who pressed the embroidered spring knife in their hands stopped him.

"We are from Dongchang, and we were ordered to come to Tiqin to commit Wang Yuqian and Confucius, this is a driving sticker!" Cui Yingyuan held the sticker high in his hand under Wei Liangchen's signal.

East Factory's?

Everyone in Jinyiwei stopped, and the hundred households took a few steps forward and looked at the driving sticker in Cui Yingyuan's hand, but they didn't answer, and only said in a muffled voice: "This case is supervised by Jinyiwei, what does it have to do with your East Factory?" ”

Speaking of this, he paused, shook his head at Cui Yingyuan and the people in Dongchang who were walking over, and said loudly: "Luo Dadu has an order, Wang and Kong are guilty of Qin, and no one is allowed to take it away unless there is a holy decree!" Everyone in the East Factory quickly retreated, and they were not allowed to trespass on the prison! ”

Cui Yingyuan didn't expect that the other party didn't even accept the driving sticker of the East Factory, and his attitude was so tough, thinking that Father-in-law Wei was watching from behind, he was furious at the moment, and stepped forward and shouted: "You can see clearly, we are from the East Factory!" ”

"What about Dongchang, there is no holy decree, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he can't enter!" The hundred households sneered, and their tone was extremely proud.

Hearing this, the lieutenants of the Jinyi Guard were also in high spirits, and they all felt that they were a few heads higher than the East Factory in an instant, and they were quite angry.

The soldiers of the criminal department stationed in front of the prison were all very happy: Could this brocade guard not be able to fight with Dongchang?

They are all soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they were originally born everywhere, but yesterday they received an order from the Shangguan and rushed to the Criminal Department overnight to garrison them.

It's also boring, and this is suddenly fun, and I'm waiting to watch the show, all looking forward to the fans of the East Factory not leaving, and pinching the turtle grandsons of Jinyiwei.

"Aren't you ignoring my East Factory?" Although Cui Yingyuan was born as a scoundrel, he also has a fierce energy, and there is a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

When the hundred households saw that the fans of Dongchang also dared to be ruthless in front of him, they also glared angrily, and sneered: "What about Dongchang? If I don't let you in, you'll have to give me a nest outside! If you have the ability to take the holy decree, don't bluff people with your Dongchang's broken driving stickers! This thing can bluff others, but it can't bluff me! ”

After speaking, he saw a young man behind him, and laughed at him: "Jinyiwei is majestic, but my Dongchang driving sticker is not used to bluff people." ”

After finishing speaking, he half-covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and waved his hand impatiently: "Take it, palm your mouth!" ”
