Tang Ning recuperated at home for a few days, and waited until his back injury was healed before returning to the criminal department.

Although the March period of the Criminal Department was almost over, and there were less than 10 days left, he still had to stand on the last shift.

When I walked into the duty room of the Criminal Department, I looked up and saw an unfamiliar official.

Tang Ning looked at where he was sitting, thought for a moment, and asked, "This adult, could it be Yang Langzhong?" ”

The official stood up, arched his hand and said, "Master Tang, look up for a long time." ”

Tang Ning remembered that when he had not yet come to the Criminal Department, this Yang Langzhong seemed to have taken sick leave due to a foot injury, which was two months to three months, and this was the first time he had seen him in the Criminal Department.

He arched his hand at it and asked, "Is Yang Lang's foot injury better?" ”

Yang Langzhong smiled and said, "I'm tired of Lord Tang's concern, this official's injury has healed." ”

Tang Ning and Yang Langzhong exchanged a few words of greeting, and then sat back in their seats.

It's good that this Yang Langzhong is here, he is the leader of this criminal department, and in the next few days, he can be idle.

Yang Langzhong sat at the table, raised his head, and looked in the direction where Tang Ning was, intentionally or unintentionally.

In the past three months, although he has not been in the Criminal Department, he has been paying attention to the news of the Criminal Department all the time.

Before Tang Ning came to the Criminal Department, there were rumors that this person was the broom star of the boss, and he left the government in order to avoid trouble, but who would have thought that the other party had not done anything out of the ordinary in the three months of this criminal department, and also presided over the compilation of the "Collection of Grievances", which recorded in detail the method of testing and solving the case, which was praised by His Majesty and implemented throughout the country, and made great contributions.

This made Yang Langzhong almost regret his intestines, if he was also in the Yazhong, how could this credit fall on his shoulders, and his actions were tantamount to taking the initiative to push it out.

The safety of the past three months also made him completely relieved, and he had the courage to return to the government, and maybe he could still get a little bit of credit.

Yang Langzhong sat back in his familiar position, made a pot of tea, and just picked up the teacup, a small official walked in from outside the door with a pile of dossiers.

He stood at the door, about to walk towards the table where Tang Ning was, when he saw Yang Langzhong in the room, he was suddenly stunned, thought about it, turned around, walked to his desk, put the file on the table, and said: "Lord Yang, Lord Shangshu has an order to order the Ministry of Punishment to review and verify these files as soon as possible." ”

"Got it, put it down." Yang Langzhong nodded and casually flipped through a dossier.

The case on this file is very simple, in order to build a private house, Jingbian Marquis invaded people's land, and also connived at his subordinates to make trouble, if the crime is an ordinary person, he only needs to sign his name, even if the criminal is not beheaded, he will end up in exile.

But this is the Marquis of Jingbian, a powerful man in Beijing, backed by King Kang, where can he afford to provoke him as a small criminal department?

His hands trembling as he held the dossier and his eyelids jumped, and he put it down and picked up another one.

"The arson murder case of the son of the Marquis of Yanping."

"The case of Yongchuan Bo's son raping a woman."

"The murder case of Huiyang Bo Zongzi."

……

After reading several case files, Yang Langzhong's body trembled slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Any one of these cases is enough for him, a criminal department, to have a headache, let him take care of these cases with a little Langzhong, this is to let him die!

He stood up, looked at a small official in the yamen, and said, "Xu Shilang is not here, I will go to find him......"

The little official said: "Back to my lord, Xu Shilang was suspended because of the cover-up case. ”

"Suspended......" Yang Langzhong stood in place and muttered: "How can you say stop, stop......"

He fell back into his chair, picked up the last file, and opened it tremblingly.

"The ...... of the case of Xu Cheng, the waiter of the Criminal Department"

What happened in the early morning, Tang Ning had already heard Xiao Jue say.

Under the secret instruction and support of the Tang family, including a servant of the imperial history, more than a dozen officials of the court and China collectively attacked the Marquis of Jingbian, the Marquis of Yanping, and others, and His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Historical Observatory to thoroughly investigate these cases.

Although Chen Guo's law also has some preferential treatment for the powerful, this preferential treatment is limited, if the powerful really take the lives of the people not the lives of the people, the end will be very miserable, Shou Anbo is an example.

These things are one thing for them to do secretly and secretly, no matter how the officials below cover up and conceal them, once they are brought up in front of hundreds of officials in the Golden Palace, most of them will not be able to do good.

Fortunately, Yang Langzhong rushed back in time, otherwise, he would have been busy in the last days of the Criminal Department.

Tang Ning was leisurely drinking tea, writing a new volume of the latest public case, and at a certain moment, he glanced up and saw Yang Langzhong standing up and walking out dejectedly.

He put down his pen again, and before he could write a few words, the exclamation of the little official came from outside the door.

"Oh no, no, Yang Lang fell into the well!"

"Come on!"

……

An old man looked at Yang Langzhong lying on the bed, shook his head, and said, "Yang Langzhong's old injury has just healed, and a new injury has been added, this time, it will take at least two months to recuperate." ”

Tang Ning sympathized with Yang Langzhong's misfortune, and on the first day of his return, he fell into the dry well abandoned by the Criminal Department.

The location of the well was very remote, and there was a fence around it, and the officials of the Criminal Department couldn't figure out why Yang Langzhong fell into the well and was seriously injured, but the first moment Yang Langzhong was rescued, Lord Shangshu ordered the wellhead of the dry well to be sealed.

Song Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at Tang Ning and said, "Yang Lang is seriously injured and needs to recuperate, these days, the affairs of the Criminal Department will be handed over to Director Tang." ”

After that, without waiting for Tang Ning to answer, he pointed to the file on Yang Langzhong's desk and said: "Your Majesty has specially told you about these cases, and there will be people watching from the Yushitai, and Director Tang must deal with them as soon as possible......"

Although Tang Ning didn't want to take the blame or cause trouble, he was not as ruthless as Yang Langzhong, and he didn't even let go of himself.

The only well in the criminal department has been sealed, he can't climb to the roof and jump down, besides, climbing over the wall and going up the upper room has long been a common thing for him, and there is no floor in the entire criminal department where he can fall and injure himself if he jumps.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, he borrowed a knife to kill people and save the country, and in the end, he still had to cut down this knife himself.

He moved the files to his desk, looked at a small official, and said, "Go and bring all the files in Xu Shilang's room." ”

The case of Xu Cheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, is the simplest, and the files he stopped are all piled up in the duty room, and he only needs to present the truth, and Emperor Chen has his own judgment.

The case in Miss Li'er's family, with all the human and material evidence, can also be closed immediately.

As for the other cases, Tang Ning believes that the Tang family has already prepared everything behind the scenes, and no matter who investigates these cases, it will not take much effort.

Even so, Tang Ning was still a little unhappy about the behavior of the criminal department secretary dumping the pot on him, it just so happened that in "The Years I Was the Criminal Department Shangshu", the unfilial son of Song Ci and Lord Song who finally killed his relatives in righteousness has no name, and the name Song Yi is quite appropriate......

After writing the new chapter without hurry, Tang Ning picked up a dossier, looked at a scribe, and said, "Ascend to the court!" ”
