Shao An acted resolutely, quickly found out several corrupt and bribed-taking officials of the household department, and immediately handed them over to the criminal department for interrogation without mercy.

This threw the hot potato to the Criminal Department, but Jiang Jiamin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was embarrassed. Now he is more and more unable to understand the behavior of this former subordinate, and he can't guess what Shao An means. And the Yushitai is aggressive, staring at the judgment of the criminal department.

Jiang Jiamin was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it, he had to go to Sun Yi to discuss, and complained: "It's obviously a battle between the household department and the Yushitai, but it is pushed to our criminal department?" Neither of these parties is easy to mess with, how should it be judged? ”

After listening to Jiang Jiamin's complaints, Sun Yi was not as entangled as him, and after taking a sip of tea easily, he said slowly: "Master Jiang can learn from them, and he also pushed this case away." ”

"Push? How to push? ”

"It's better for Master Jiang to close the case first and report it to Dali Temple. Dali Temple will definitely review the case of refuting, which will push the case to Dali Temple. ”

Jiang Jiamin suddenly opened his mouth, patted his thigh and praised: "Master Sun's method is really wonderful, Jiang admires it." There is only one question, how will this case be concluded? ”

Sun Yi continued to give him advice, "As long as this case does not end in a death case, so that the testimony evidence is a little negligent and omitted, with the character of Feng Zhiyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, how can it not be retried?" ”

Jiang Jiamin suddenly realized that if Dali Temple resentenced this case, that case would have nothing to do with the Criminal Department, and in the future, the Household Department and the Yushitai would make trouble, and they would not find trouble with the Criminal Department.

"Why did Jiang Shangshu break a confused case?" Feng Che was very surprised after reading the case file of the Criminal Department, the old boss's level of case judgment has obviously plummeted, and he is embarrassed to close the case with such loopholes?

Pei Shaojun, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple on the side, persuaded him with good words: "This case has to be a confused case in anyone's hands." Adults, just turn a blind eye and let it go. ”

"Isn't it just that Tobe and Yushitai are fighting, so what?" As soon as Feng Che's upright temperament came up, no one could persuade him. I only heard him slap the table and say, "This case is taken over by Dali Temple, and the official will try it personally." ”

Everything was as Sun Yi expected, Feng Che immediately reported that there were suspicious points and asked for a retrial by Dali Temple. In other words, this Feng Che, not long after he was transferred from a small remote county, took the initiative to take over such a job that offended people. Ordinary people are afraid to avoid it, but Feng Che knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountain. Of course, an upright person like him doesn't care about such trivial things as offending or not offending people.

Feng Che tried the case, impartially, without favoritism or suppression. After a single interrogation, several household officials were dragged down, exiled, and dismissed. The faces of the people in the household department are gloomy, but the faces of the Yushitai are full of spring breeze.

Shao An had already dealt with this situation, and said to Ni Hongyu with a smile: "They are too early to be happy, thinking that this time the household will lose its troops and lose its generals, and it will be a mistake?" This official also wants to make the Yushitai suffer heavy losses. How have you checked your old accounts lately? ”

"According to the instructions of the lord, the lower officials thoroughly investigated the officials of the imperial history platform and their relatives, and indeed found many problems." After that, he took out the information that had been prepared and handed it to Shao An.

Shao An took it and read it carefully, he had also learned to do business, and he was naturally familiar with the accounts. Fake accounts like this are very fine on the surface, but there are still traces of fraud in the subtleties, but they are not easy to detect.

Ni Hongyu stood beside him, not intending to point out the loopholes for his boss. He wanted to see if the young Shangshu would read the account. And Shao An's level was really beyond his expectations, and he actually pointed out the mistakes in the accounts one by one.

Now Ni Hongyu was convinced by this boss, Shao An naturally saw Ni Hongyu's thoughts, and did not break it, but just asked him to send these account books to the Criminal Department.

※※※※※

Jiang Jiamin frowned and looked at the pile of fake accounts sent by the household department on the table, all of which were the account books of some local officials. However, Jiang Jiamin, the old fritter, understands that things can never be so simple. He secretly checked and found out that these magistrates were either relatives and friends of some officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, or they were fellow villagers.

Poor Shangshu of the Criminal Department just threw off a troublesome matter, but a new problem came to him. After thinking about it, I wondered whether to push it to Feng Che again. But before he could figure it out, Shao An came to chat with him.

"Boss, how are you doing?" Shao An greeted him warmly as soon as he saw Jiang Jiamin, even if Shao An had also worked in the Criminal Department for a period of time, Jiang Jiamin could be said to be his former boss, and it was not an exaggeration to call him "boss".

Jiang Jiamin heard the housekeeper say that Shao An was coming, and he was one head and two big. It was obvious that Shao An had nothing to do but went to the Three Treasures Palace, but he couldn't refuse the guests, and he had to go out to greet him, and greeted him warmly: "Lord Shao is a rare guest, please please invite quickly." ”

The two of them came to the hall together and sat down hand in hand. After three cups and two cups of tea, Shao An said: "Speaking of which, this is the first time that Xia Guan has visited the old man's mansion. ”

"This door is always open for Lord Shao, and Jiang is always welcome. I am afraid that the humble house is simple and the hospitality is not good. ”

"The old man said that he laughed, the winding path in the house is quiet, and there is a different artistic conception." Shao An carefully observed the layout of the courtyard along the way, and saw that the owner was quite attentive, so he said.

These words really came to Jiang Jiamin's heart, and he felt that Shao An was a fellow believer, and the unhappiness in his heart before disappeared.

The two revisited the friendship between their colleagues in the Criminal Department at that time, and the relationship between the two sides immediately became much closer. Shao An saw that the atmosphere was almost lively, so he put on a contrite expression and said, "Actually, Xia Guan came here this time to apologize to the boss. Xia Guan accidentally gave the boss a big problem, which made you embarrassed. ”

"How dare you, my lord's words are serious. Jiang Mou's responsibility, how can he blame the adult? ”

Although he said how dare he say it, but he didn't know how to slander it in his heart, of course Shao An wouldn't take it seriously, so he said: "The boss has always been innocent and should be forgiven, and if he is guilty, he should be punished, and he praises you for being the reincarnation of Bao Gong, just and selfless." Even if the boss really dealt with the household officials harshly last time, the lower officials will resolutely support your trial and will never protect your shortcomings. ”

The corners of Jiang Jiamin's mouth twitched, the implication of this is that this time he must also make a fair ruling, and he can't let go of all the relatives and friends of Yushitai.

But that will offend the group of people in the Yushitai, who are those people, they are people who have the right to hear. If they join forces to rectify the whole person, it will be an absolute nightmare for any official. They can pick bones from eggs, accuse you of words and deeds today, and accuse you of misdeeds tomorrow. If you have a war of words with them every day, you will not be scolded for being crazy or crippled.

Looking at Shao An's side again, the seemingly polite visit was actually to force him to express his position. And the household department is even more difficult to provoke, they don't even need to launch an impeachment attack, they only need to say "no money" to him, and the criminal department will basically not be able to do anything in the future.

Jiang Jiamin's cold sweat ran down his forehead, and the torment in his heart could be seen. Shao An didn't urge, and tasted the tea as if nothing happened.

Seeing that he was going to be cold, Jiang Jiamin had to laugh dryly twice, and looked at him left and right, "Hehe, where, where." Shao Dacai is the reincarnation of Bao Gong, and he is not partial to his subordinates, which is the real demeanor of Bao Gong. ”

"In addition to the fairness of the trial, the more important thing is that Bao Gong decides the case like a god. Although Xia Guan has been the right attendant of the Criminal Department for a few days, he is not as good as the old man in the trial of the case, and he is not as good as Lord Feng in the judgment of the case, so how dare he compare with Bao Gong. ”

"Lord Shao is polite, if it weren't for you, how could the case of collaborating with the enemy be solved?" Jiang Jiamin said with a smile.

"It was all thanks to Lord Feng's many years of experience in solving cases, and the full cooperation of King Jin." Shao An said humbly.

"King Jin's temperament has been heard a little bit, so it's good not to make trouble. Master Shao can convince him to help, which is the key to solving the case. Jiang Jiamin's words are absolutely sincere, the willfulness of the King of Jin, but even the first emperor has a headache.

"The boss praises falsely, that's not my work......" but with many years of friendship with King Jin! Shao An added silently in his heart. At the mention of King Jin, he couldn't help but think of the past and felt sad.

Jiang Jiamin was puzzled and said with a smile: "Why be humble? An adult's three-inch tongue is stronger than a million-inch teacher, which Jiang especially admires. ”

"But what makes the subordinate officials admire is that the boss is not afraid of power." Shao An was detoured by him a few times, and finally struggled to get back to the original question.

Jiang Jiamin sighed and said the truth, "Under power, who can really not be afraid?" ”

Seeing that he didn't flicker his words this time, Shao An told him the truth, "If you can't avoid it, you can choose the lesser of two evils." ”

"We don't talk darkly, Jiang is now in a dilemma, and I hope that the adults will guide him."

Shao An pondered for a moment and said, "The boss only judges according to the law, and the rest don't have to worry." If there is anything, you can push it to the household department. ”

"This ......" Jiang Jiamin hesitated, is this really good?

Shao An then reassured: "This matter is originally a contest between the household department and the imperial history platform, and it has nothing to do with the criminal department. The boss can rest assured, as long as the evidence is conclusive and the trial is fair, he will not be able to pick anything out of the Imperial Historical Tower. ”

Jiang Jiamin listened to Shao An's words and made some sense, and he had no better way, so he had to say: "Just do what the adults say." ”

After Jiang Jiamin got it done here, the rest of the things were very simple. Those cases were based on the false accounts provided by the household department, and the interrogation was very easy, and the criminals confessed in a few clicks. Some of these cases even involved a number of officials from the Imperial Observatory. The Criminal Department was also resolute, and went directly to the Imperial History Platform to arrest people, and arrested several people from the Sixth Rank Imperial History at once.

Yu Chengping was so angry when he learned about it, but unfortunately when he reacted and wanted to fight back, the case had already been sentenced, so he could only be angry in vain. This time, the Tobu Jedi counterattacked, and finally pulled back a game, and everyone was overjoyed. However, on the whole, above the court, they fought with each other and did not give in to each other. Both sides lost their troops and lost their strength; The battle between fire and water among the ministers, you live and die. In the end, it was a lose-lose situation.

The scourge of party strife can be seen from this.
