Kou Ji returned to Sijun Garden, did not rest, but asked the maids to prepare hot water, and after washing up, he changed into official clothes, supported a sedan chair, and rushed to the yamen of the Criminal Division.

As Wang Shu said, the Yamen of the Criminal Department is the outer platform of the imperial court and the outer platform of the inner court, so the Yamen of the Criminal Department has many official duties.

Now that Zhang Lun has moved to the left, the new criminal officer has not yet taken office, and Kou Ji, the judge of the Criminal Division, is the biggest official in the Criminal Division.

He needs to intervene in the government affairs of the Criminal Division.

Every day passes, there will be countless more government affairs in the Criminal Division.

If Kou Ji doesn't handle the official affairs of the Criminal Division, the official affairs of the Criminal Division will be piled up, and chaos will inevitably arise.

Kou Ji arrived at the yamen of the Criminal Division, but before he entered the door, the governor of the prison and others greeted him.

"My lord, you can come, if you don't come again, we will be in chaos with the criminal division."

“……”

The group surrounded Kou Ji and talked anxiously.

Kou Ji waved his hand to get them out of the way, and as he walked towards the yamen, he asked, "The left and right are all familiar government affairs to you, and I'm not here, won't you handle it yourself?" ”

When the governor of the prison heard this, he said with a bitter face: "My lord, the government officials and others will naturally deal with it, but without your seal, the officials and others dare not report to the inner court." ”

"It's not just that you don't dare, it's not qualified at all. The recitals handed over by the lower officials were all knocked down by the inner court. ”

“……”

The group of people hugged with bitter faces.

Kou Ji entered the main hall of the Criminal Division, sat down in front of the middle of the case, and said: "Okay, don't complain, quickly submit the government affairs you have handled in the past few days, and I will review it." ”

When the group heard this, they hurriedly ordered the people behind them to go to their respective rooms to go to the government affairs that they had been dealing with in the past few days.

After a while, the table in front of Kou Ji was full of files and papers.

Seeing that the cases had become a small mountain, the group had no intention of stopping.

They didn't stop until the files and documents on the case buried Kou Ji deep in them.

Kou Ji looked at the government affairs in front of him, a little dumbfounded, "So much? ”

The governor of the prison smiled bitterly on the side: "This is not much...... In addition to these government affairs that need to be reviewed by adults, the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department also need to be screened and decided by adults one by one.

Yesterday, someone came to the inner court, urging him to ask why the case has not yet been concluded, and why the transcript has not yet been handed in.

Xia Guan found an excuse and shirked the past, but he couldn't shirk it for a few days. ”

Governor Qian Gu sighed and said, "It's almost May, and the collection of grain from all over the country has to be put on the agenda." It is also necessary for adults to draw up a charter and hand it over to all localities for them to follow. ”

As Governor Qiangu's words landed, the rest of the governors also spoke.

Each of them seems to have important government affairs to deal with, and each one is more important than the other.

Kou Ji was a little embarrassed by their gossip, raised his hand and patted the table, and said, "You go down first, and then make a decision after I finish reading the files and documents on the case." ”

When the governor of the prison heard this, he shouted: "My lord, I can't wait for the screening of prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department. The inner court has already urged us once, and if we urge it a second time, we will be punished for the crime of inefficiency. ”

Kou Ji frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "On the side of the inner court, I am on top of it, so you don't need to worry about it." All down! ”

The prison governor opened his mouth and was about to speak.

But when he saw that Kou Ji was resolute and it was not easy to fight with Kou Ji, he sighed and withdrew from the main hall.

The rest of the people also left the main hall.

Kou Ji sat upright in the main hall, casually opened a dossier, carefully reviewed it, and slowly frowned.

He dropped the dossier, opened the second dossier, glanced at it, and threw it aside.

After flipping through more than a dozen files in a row, Kou Ji just looked at them twice and threw them aside.

Kou Ji squinted, bent his fingers and tapped on the file on the case, and said to himself: "Everyone looks like they are capable officials, but behind them is a group of pickled goods. The unsolved cases and suspicious files of seven or eight years ago dared to be thrown in front of me and let me deal with them.

Who are you fooling? ”

Kou Ji glanced out of the door, and said to himself: "I guessed that Zhang Lun has a henchman in the Criminal Department and will make me stumble, but I didn't expect that so many of you would make me stumble together."

Originally, I thought that I was a little sorry for you by letting Cao Tong, Liu Heng, and Fan Zhongyan take your place by letting Cao Tong, Liu Heng, and Fan Zhongyan enter the Criminal Division.

Now it seems that I am not sorry for you, but you are sorry for me. ”

"Left and right?"

Kou Ji shouted, and two messengers immediately entered the door, waiting to be dispatched.

"The subordinates are here."

Kou Ji instructed: "One goes to the palace of Jiyang County and recruits Cao Tong to come over, and the other goes to the Liu Mansion by the Jinming Pond and recruits Liu Heng to come over." ”

The servants glanced at each other and said in unison, "Woo ......"

Kou Ji said again: "Tell them to bring more people, useful people." ”

"My subordinates understand."

After the officers left the main hall.

Kou Ji slowly got up and paced in the main hall of the Criminal Division.

He didn't take another look at the files and documents on the case.

The governors of the Criminal Division joined forces to make him stumble.

Then there is no need for him to save face for them.

Since they are unwilling to handle government affairs well, then Kou Ji doesn't mind, find a group of people, and come over to replace them.

Kou Ji walked for a while in the main hall of the Criminal Division, and seemed to feel that the manpower brought by Cao Tong and Liu Heng might not be enough.

He summoned another messenger and told him to go to Koufu and spread a message to him, and to call a group of people to come.

At the same time, Kou Ji sent messengers to recruit people from all classes and rooms of the Criminal Division to the main hall for questioning.

The public house in the corner of the Criminal Division.

Several governors sat together and whispered.

The governor of the seal said with a dry smile, "Isn't it a bit too much for us to embarrass Judge Kou so much?" ”

"Excessive? I don't think it's too much. ”

The prison governor pouted and said, "When he moved Lord Zhang, did he think too much?" People who don't know outside praise him for being affectionate and righteous. But when we mention the Criminal Division, no one knows and no one knows.

The reason why Master Zhang was transferred away was because of him.

It was he who was dissatisfied with Lord Zhang, so he used a trick and transferred Lord Zhang away. ”

Governor Qian Gu nodded heavily, "That's right. Many of us were brought up by Lord Zhang. Master Zhang has been wronged, and we can't sit idly by. ”

"In terms of affection and righteousness, Zhang Dacai is really affectionate and righteous. Koji is just a scumbag villain. ”

“……”

"Yes...... But his grandfather was the prime minister. It's easier to crush us than ants......"

Everyone was condemning Kou Ji, and the official patrol said a word coldly.

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.

After a long time, the prison governor gritted his teeth and said, "What if his grandfather is the prime minister?" Can the prime minister cover the sky with one hand? In addition to his grandfather, there are also Ding Gong and Li Gong in the inner court. Further up, there are also the official family and the mother. ”

The patrol officer said dryly: "But now...... Kou Gong is in the court, that is a promise. He wants to move us, and Ding Gong and Niangniang can't protect us. ”
