In order to highlight the importance of the Likuang Supervisor, soon after the establishment of the Likuang Supervisor, the Son of Heaven set up a separate Likuang Supervisor Yamen at the Jingfeng Gate on the east side of the imperial city, which was listed separately from the political hall and directly responsible to the Son of Heaven. The left and right prisoners of Likuan are all official ranks under the fourth grade, and the current right supervisor Wang Kefu, the left prison supervisor Wei Huaichao, and the thirty Li Kuang envoys are composed of personnel from the Political Affairs Hall, the Imperial History Observatory, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, all of whom are officials above the eighth rank.

Today's envoy on duty is He Zhili, who was originally the official of the Criminal Department, and knew Director Wang who came to deliver the official document, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, you are a rare guest, and the officials of the Criminal Department go to such a small yamen as the Likuan Prison, I don't know what to advise." ”

Director Wang and He Zhili had a good relationship, and said with a smile: "My boss is an errand runner, no better than your brother who was transferred to the Governor of Likuang and was promoted and made a fortune, eating and drinking spicy food, since I am here today, your brother has to spend money on dinner, we haven't seen each other for a while, let's have a good chat." ”

"Okay, disperse, Qingyu Hotel will rest as soon as you get drunk." He Zhili readily agreed, opened the briefcase with his hands and feet, took out the official document and looked at it, and asked suspiciously: "This is the matter of your criminal department, why did you send it to the prison." ”

Director Wang smiled mysteriously: "My family Shangshu confessed, the matter was reported by Tongkuang, please deal with it as appropriate." ”

People who mix in the officialdom, who don't have a few crooked intestines in their stomachs, after a little thought, He Zhili guessed some of Wu Shangshu's intentions, and said with a smile: "Since it is fate, I will wait for my feet." Lao Wang, are you waiting for me here or go to Qingyu Hotel first. ”

"You yamen are evil, don't dare to stay longer, I'll wait for you at the Qingyu Hotel first, come quickly." Mr. Wang got up and left. He Zhili sat and thought for a while, and the supervisor was divided into left and right, this kind of case of accusation was in charge of Lord Wei, but Wu Shangshu meant to let Lord Wang know, interesting, interesting, I am a little person, I can't afford to mix, let's do it according to the routine. ”

After taking the official document, the lobby was divided into two like the copper box in front of the door, with the black prison on the left and the white prison on the right. In the year and a half since its establishment, the Tongkuang Prison has gone from earth-shattering at the beginning to now it has become quiet. Bai Kuang received a lot of advice, but most of them were rhetorical and not very useful; Hei Kuang received very few reports, and it was later found out that most of them were false accusations, and the main credit was to redress several unjust cases, and the Son of Heaven was obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of the Supervisor of Reason, and his enthusiasm for the Supervisor had greatly decreased, and he had not even bothered to ask questions in recent months.

In the left prison, Wei Huaichao was sitting behind the public case and was stunned, how energetic he was when he first became the left prisoner of Likuang, and all the officials saw their eyes full of horror, and that gaze made Wei Huaichao like drinking iced sour plum soup in summer, how sour.

At first, he carefully prepared several reported cases and wanted to set off a big prison, but he was opposed by all the officials in the court, and the Son of Heaven seemed not interested in the content of the case, which made his fiery mind seem to be poured cold water, and he gradually became disheartened.

Li Kuang Jian gradually became a chicken rib, every day into small things, trivial matters, Duan Cizong went to Chuzhou to serve as the assassin history, Wei Huaichao's mind lived, if he can also be like Duan Cizong, go to Shangzhou to serve as the assassin history, and then return to Kyoto in a few years, the chiefs of the six departments and Jiuqing are all older, and they are destined to have a position.

It's just that he can't compare to Duan Cizong, Duan Cizong and the Son of Heaven met decades ago, and after nearly twenty years of observation, the Son of Heaven trusts him beyond measure. Wei Huaichao stroked his brow with his fingers in distress, how could he attract the attention of the Son of Heaven in order to seek change.

Ze party party to go to very little, as a supervisor, he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would jealous him of forming a party for personal gain, and now the party leader of the Beijing official was undoubtedly swept away by Deng Huai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Deng Huaisu managed the Ze Party well, and had the upper hand in several battles with the Zhang Party, although the Zhang Party had the big name of Pan Linfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, but it was difficult to overwhelm the Ze Party.

Wei Huaichao regretted a little, he knew that he should not have given up the position of party leader, although it was only a false name in Shilin, but with this false name, plus some necessary propaganda, maybe his chances of being outside the country would be much greater.

He Zhili walked in, bowed, and then handed over the official document in his hand, and said: "Lord Wei, Wu Shangshu of the Criminal Department has transferred an official letter, saying that this matter started from Tongkuang, and I ask the supervisor to send it as appropriate." ”

At that time, the Governor was strong, and forcibly took over the case from the hands of the "Three Law Divisions" on the grounds that the case involved the Tongkuang report, and after the punishment was proposed, it was directly sent to the Tongkuang Division (Sima Mansion) in various places for implementation, which had a tendency to be self-contained. As a result, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Yushitai were offended, and then the Prison gradually did nothing, and the "Three Law Divisions" received similar cases, and they did not greet the Prison at all.

Wei Huaichao opened the official document with suspicion, read it from beginning to end, and suddenly felt that this matter was extremely tricky, so he put down the official document and thought about it in his heart. Jiang Anyi can be regarded as his fellow disciple and a member of the Ze Party, and the same party naturally has to respond with the same voice and seek the same spirit, and there are many doubts about the evidence listed in this official document, so it stands to reason that he should help him.

Jiang Anyi's handsome and high-spirited demeanor appeared in front of him, Wei Huaichao's heart was sour, in another ten years, Jiang Anyi will be able to surpass himself and become the leader of the Ze Party. If you say that you help Jiang Anyi, some people will definitely say that you are using your power for personal gain, and you will be said to be unfair even if you are innocent, which has to be paid attention to.

With his fingers flicking lightly on the official document, Wei Huaichao figured out Wu Huaren's intentions, he had a bad relationship with Wu Huaren, did he deliberately give himself a problem, and then find a fault? Wei Huaichao looked at the dark crimson official uniform on his body, it was not easy for the sea to rise and fall, and he couldn't lose his future because of anyone.

Suddenly, Wei Huaichao thought of another possibility, his eyes looked to the right, and he seemed to have penetrated the heavy walls and saw Wang Kefu in the right prison. Wang Kefu and Jiang Anyi are mortal enemies, everyone in the capital knows it, Wang Zhizhi's joke of "five hundred taels of silver" is still circulating on those gentlemen's wine tables, Wu Huaren will not want to kill people with a knife.

Thinking clearly, the corners of Wei Huaichao's mouth showed a sneer, Wu Huaren can borrow a knife to kill, and I, Wei Huaichao, can also push the boat down the river, thinking about taking the official document and standing up, going out and turning right, and entering the right prison of Likuang Prison.

Wang Kefu reclined on the chair to read a book, and in the days when he was closed, Wang Kefu developed the habit of reading, of course, what he read was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the popular legendary stories in the neighborhood.

After the days of demotion of officials, Wang Kefu's arrogance became restrained, everyone in the yamen saw a three-point smile, and he spoke kindly, Qinglou Flower Street went less, fox friends and dog friends saw less, and even Shi Fangzhen thought that Wang Kefu was finally a prodigal son after receiving the information provided by the secret guard.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Kefu stood upright, put the book in his hand into the drawer, got up and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, why do you have time to come to me today, please take a seat." ”

As he spoke, he turned out from behind the public case and sat down with Wei Huaichao on the seat next to him. Wei Huaichao had heard that Wang Kefu had turned back and the like, but Wei Huaichao didn't believe it at all, he once came to the right prison and accidentally saw Wang Kefu stuffed in the official document, this book he had read in the study at night, and the prodigal son would turn back.

After a few cold words, Wei Huaichao was very in awe of the forces behind Wang Kefu, although the left was respected among the two, it did not prevent him from patting Wang Kefu's sycophants. Wang Kefu smiled with a smile on his face, hummed and haha, waiting for Wei Huaichao to clarify his intentions.

After pouring the tea again, Wei Huaichao took out the official document from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Kefu, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you are well-informed, there is an official document here, Wei doesn't know how to deal with it, so I came to ask Lord Wang for advice." ”

Wang Kefu is not unlearned, the Wang family is a family, and if he does not have the ability, he will not be pushed out to be an official. After so many years in the officialdom, Wang Kefu is used to the wind and rain, and knows that it is wrong or wrong, and it is impossible for Wei Huaichao to really come to ask him for advice, there must be something strange about this official document.

Seeing the three words Jiang Anyi on the official document, the flesh on Wang Kefu's cheeks shook involuntarily, and he tried his best to keep his calm, but his expression betrayed his hatred. Wei Huaichao, who was on the side, saw Wang Kefu's excitement at a glance through the gap between drinking water, slowly put down the teacup, and waited for Wang Kefu to speak.

Wang Kefu read the official document seriously, and then read it again, and then asked: "Lord Wei, isn't it the responsibility of the 'Three Law Divisions' to deal with the guilty officials, why did this official document come to our Li Kuang Prison." ”

"Wu Shangshu of the Criminal Department said that this matter started because of the Tongkuang report, and let us handle it at the discretion of the prisoner." Wei Huaichao smiled faintly, "There are two prisoners on the left and right, Wei can't make the decision alone, I'm here to ask Lord Wang what you mean." ”

Wang Kefu sneered: "Lord Wei, Ming people don't say secret words, you and Wu Shangshu put this official document here because you think that I have a personal enmity with that Jiang Anyi, and let me come forward to do something that is inconvenient for you to do. Good calculation, but Wang is not a fool, I hate Jiang Anyi, of course I don't want to let go of this opportunity, but you want to watch the fire from the other side, you can't do it, to cure Jiang Anyi's crime, everyone has to work together, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope when something happens, and no one can escape. ”

Wei Huaichao was choked by Wang Kefu's words and coughed dryly, and raised the teacup to drink water in disguise, Wang Kefu stared at his eyes and said: "Lord Wei, don't you always want to make great contributions, this Jiang Anyi is a 'second stunned' in the officialdom, most people hate him, if you talk about him, I'm afraid no one will object." ”

After Wang Kefu finished speaking, he stopped making a sound and concentrated on tasting tea. Wei Huaichao weighed the gains and losses in his heart, Wang Kefu sneered in his heart, Wei Huaichao is a person who only has his own fame and fortune, and anything else can be betrayed, if he can be in the limelight in front of the Son of Heaven, not to mention Jiang Anyi, even his parents can be betrayed.

Wei Huaichao didn't know that he had already been seen through, and he muttered for a long time and said: "Lord Wang, what you said, this matter is very important, and it is not up to me to be the master of the family of the Supervisor, and I want to work with the 'Three Law Divisions' to handle this case as an iron case." ”

In Jiang Anyi's case, everyone takes what they need, and as for whether Jiang Anyi will be wronged, not many people care.
