Shen Yan was dressed in a cyan robe, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a confident smile, and he slowly came to the lobby of the Criminal Department with light steps. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This official is the new head of the Criminal Department, I don't know where the officer's office is?" Walking into the lobby of the Criminal Department, Shen Yan saw a scribe walking in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, and hurriedly called softly.

"The new head of the Criminal Department? I didn't hear the news below. The scribe said proudly.

"No, the clerk's document was sent yesterday." Shen Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of distraction appeared in his mind, could it be that the officials deliberately did this, they obviously had a good look when issuing the official seal, no, they would never make this kind of mistake, they would never involve themselves in trouble, the documents were definitely sent to the criminal department, and it was the people in the criminal department who wanted to embarrass themselves, although this practice was child's play, the effect was still relatively obvious.

"This is the official seal of this official, please take this official to see the minister." Shen Yan took out the official seal from his waist, put away the smile on his face, and looked at the scribe without hesitation.

"It's busy, you see?" The scribe looked hurried, and seemed reluctant to lead the way for Shen Yan.

"Really? But the official saw that you were not in a hurry, but very leisurely, and looked at your demeanor as if he was waiting for someone here, I wonder if the one you are waiting for is the official? The corners of Shen Yan's mouth flashed with a playful smile, and he looked coldly into the scribe's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the other party.

"You... You babble gibberish. The scribe was a little hairy by Shen Yan's direct gaze, and said with some apprehension and panic in his heart.

"Whether the official is talking nonsense or not, you know in your heart." Shen Yan stared at the scribe and sneered faintly, "This is completely child's play, I don't know if I look down on this official or if the IQ of the person who came up with this method is like a child, and it is funny to use such a childish method." ”

"Why the noise here?" As soon as Shen Yan's words fell, a cramped voice with a hint of anger came from the side.

"The villain has seen Cui Yuanwailang." There was a hint of panic and fear in the scribe's eyes, and he lowered his head and said.

"It turned out to be Cui Yuanwailang, Xia Guan Shen Yan, the new director of the Criminal Department, came to order today, and I hope that Yuan Wailang will bring one or two in the future, and Xia Guan will be grateful." Before Shen Yan took office, he still did some necessary homework on the officials and personnel of the Criminal Department, Cui Mingshi, the Cui family was born as a child, and he was not valued by the family.

"How dare this official promote Director Shen, the position of Director Shen is hand-picked by the emperor, maybe this official will need Director Shen to carry one or two in the future." Cui Mingshi said with a smile, "The documents of the Ministry were delivered yesterday, and the official thought that Director Shen would not come today, so he did not explain it, and the people below did not know that Director Shen came today." ”

"Xiaguan has just arrived, and there are many things I don't know, and I hope that my lord will give me more guidance in the future." After Shen Yan finished speaking, his right hand took out some silver tickets from the sleeve of his left hand and gently stuffed them into Cui Mingshi's hand when there was no one next to him, "Xia Guan just came here today, I don't know if the adult has any explanation?" ”

"I can't talk about it." A faint smile flashed from his tense face, Cui Mingshi gently stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, his movements were extremely skillful, he took the lead in walking in with his head held high, and Shen Yan followed step by step, "I heard that Director Shen is good at punishment, and there happened to be a case in the ministry today that caused the official a real headache, I don't know if Director Shen can share the worries of the official." ”

"It's the honor of the subordinate to be able to serve the adult, I don't know how the subordinate can share the worries of the adult?" The corners of Shen Yan's mouth rose slightly, and an inexplicable smile appeared as he finally entered the topic.

"Since Chief Shen is good at punishment, how about not handing over the case to Chief Shen for trial?" Although there was a smile on the corner of Cui Mingshi's mouth, there was no room for negotiation in his tone, it is your Shen Yan's responsibility to judge it well, and it is my credit if it is judged well.

"Oh, the trial." A trace of doubt appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, how could the Criminal Department use such a simple method to make things difficult for himself, could it be that his own silver ticket played a role, but how could a small outsider dare to go against the will of the above, oh, I understand, this case is definitely not an ordinary case, there must be something greasy in the case.

"Could it be that Director Shen is unwilling, or does he feel that he doesn't understand the criminal name enough and doesn't dare to take over?" Hearing a hint of hesitation in Shen Yan's words, Cui Mingshi smiled indifferently, a trace of contempt appeared at the corner of his mouth, even if a grassroots without any background had an inexplicable luck and got an opportunity, he still couldn't change the essence of a grassroots.

"Okay, if the lower officials encounter something they don't understand during the trial process, I hope the adults will give me more advice." Since this is a conspiracy of impotence, he can't avoid it at all, so it's better to open his mind and take the initiative to accept it, but before that, he can also deliberately pretend to be a weak posture, so that the other party can take it lightly.

Whether strong or weak, it is necessary to take corresponding means according to the evolution of the situation and the object, and the purpose is to completely defeat the enemy.

"The case is like this, yesterday a case of poisoning and murder was reported in the suburbs of Beijing, and the county magistrate in the suburbs of Beijing was a little uncertain, so he had to report the case to the Criminal Department, and it happened that the case was handed over to the officials." Cui Mingshi took Shen Yan to Shen Yan's office, took out a case file, and opened it for Shen Yan to read.

There was a soldier named Wu Huai in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing, who was accused of putting arsenic in steamed buns and poisoning a certain citizen of Beijing suburb county, and his neighbor Sun and the seller of steamed buns and arsenic were all accused of Wu Huai as witnesses.

"I wonder where the criminals and witnesses are now?" Shen Yan quickly finished browsing the case file, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

"The criminals and witnesses happened to be brought to the criminal department in the early hours of this morning." Seeing Shen Yan's sad face, a feeling of contempt flashed in his eyes, a caring smile appeared on his face, and he said hypocritically, "The county magistrate and the criminal department in the suburbs of Beijing all think that the case is ironclad and are ready to approve the closure. ”

"Oh, since everyone thinks that this case is ironclad, why do you want to let the lower officials try this case?" A smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he looked at Cui Mingshi thoughtfully.

"The official felt that the case should not be closed like this, but the official couldn't find the flaw, so he was very anxious in his heart." Cui Mingshi seemed to notice that Shen Yan was suspicious, his heart jumped inexplicably, he collected his emotions, and said lightly, "No, Director Shen happened to come to the Criminal Department today, and the official heard that Director Shen was good at punishment, so he asked Director Shen to try the case again, and then close the case after Director Shen tried it." ”

"Okay, Xia Guan doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to find a flaw for the peace of mind of adults, but Xia Guan will definitely do his best." Hearing this, Shen Yan has fully understood Cui Mingshi's layout, this case seems to be ironclad evidence and no flaws, but this case is still strange, and Cui Mingshi is using this case to give himself a boost, to be exact, if he can't find a flaw, Cui Mingshi will inevitably reprimand himself, make himself ashamed, unable to integrate into the criminal department, and let the criminal department mock himself until he takes the initiative to leave, and even worse, reprimand himself for being careless of human life, and use the excuse to participate in his own book.

"How many steamed buns can you sell a day?" In the process of Cui Mingshi asking people to summon the criminals and witnesses, Shen Yan has been bitter about what the flaws in this case are, but after seeing the criminals and witnesses, Shen Yan first asked about selling steamed buns.

"About two or three hundred." The steamed bun seller knelt on the ground and raised his head to reply.

"How many do you buy for one person?" Shen Yan asked again.

"Three or four." The other replied again.

"So, you deal with nearly 100 customers a day?" Shen Yan pondered for a moment and said.

"Yes." The steamed bun seller nodded and replied.

"Do you remember the appearance, name, and month and day of these nearly 100 people who came to buy your steamed buns?" Shen Yan suddenly raised his voice and asked.

"I can't." The steamed bun seller was slightly stunned, then shook his head and replied.

"Since you can't, then why do you remember that Wu Huai bought your steamed buns on a certain day of the month?" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Shen Yan's mind, and he immediately asked.

"This, this ......" Hearing Shen Yan's question, the steamed bun seller was obviously panicked and stammered unable to answer.

"Then why does your testimony clearly say that you remember it clearly?" Shen Yan seemed to have found some key points, and then asked.

"I don't remember that day, the county official Song came to me and said: 'A poisoning murder case is being interrogated in the yamen, and the murderer Wu Huai has already pleaded guilty and confessed, but there is a lack of a witness who sells steamed buns, so you can testify in court!' My lord, how dare we people who do small business offend the people in the yamen? So I agreed. Under Shen Yan's tight questioning, the steamed bun seller seemed to be completely let go, and said slowly.

"Alright, you go down first." The corners of Shen Yan's eyebrows showed a slight smile, and there was a hint of confidence in his eyes, "The Sun family came to ask." ”

"It's not good, this kid seems to have really found the key to the flaw in this case, is he really good at punishment and was promoted after gaining the emperor's honor?" Cui Mingshi saw that Shen Yan overturned the testimony of selling steamed buns so quickly, his mind was full of surprise and shock, and at the same time, a trace of resentment and worry flashed in his heart, "Should he be allowed to continue the trial, I'm afraid that he will really find out the flaws in this case and close the case, not only will he not be able to complete the explanation of the minister, but also make this kid famous in the criminal department all of a sudden." ”

"My lord, are you worried that the lower officials will not be able to handle this case?" Seeing the change in Cui Mingshi's expression, Shen Yan sneered in his heart, his face was full of apologies, and he asked with concern.
