Criminal Department, Zhou Yingqiu's class room.

Zhou Yingqiu has just been transferred to the Criminal Department for only two days, and he is still familiar with government affairs.

He Qitu was reporting to him and said, "My lord, the person has been arrested, what do you think will be done?" ”

Zhou Zheng was arrested by He Qitu, but how to deal with it is also a problem.

Although they don't care about Zhou Zheng supervising the imperial history, if they want to kill casually, they are not Jinyi Guards, and they can't do it, so there must be a reason for everything.

Zhou Yingqiu's expression was indifferent, and he flipped through the official document casually, and said: "You plant a crime and send them on the road, the sooner the better." ”

He Qitu didn't see Zhou Zhengshi's cold face, looked at Zhou Yingqiu, and hesitated: "My lord, Zhou Zhengyun's father is in the Xinwang Mansion." ”

Zhou Yingqiu frowned, and then said: "Do things according to the law." ”

He Qitu looked at Zhou Yingqiu for a while and said, "It's an adult." ”

He Qitu has already pointed out very clearly, Zhou Qingli is now a person who believes in the king, and that is the person of the future emperor.

If this is moved, it will be hated by the future emperor, and the consequences will not be ordinary.

Zhou Yingqiu saw that He Qitu was gone, and continued to flip through the official documents as if nothing had happened.

"My lord, something happened." As soon as He Qitu left, a foreigner came in and said with a panicked expression.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

This outsider came closer and said in a low voice: "Someone came to vote for last year's Cao Yun deficit case. ”

Last year, although Zhou Yingqiu was a secretary of the ministry, he also knew about this matter, and the tax and silver that Caoyun should have paid was 200,000 taels, but not only did he not pay it, but he also lost 300,000 yuan, and he needed a subsidy from the imperial court.

What is the situation of the state treasury, the annual tax revenue is only 3 million, and this comes and goes is 500,000, and the government and the opposition are quite shocked.

The imperial court took turns to investigate, and finally found out that it was an eight-grade official, 200,000 taels of silver was lost by him in the casino, and the 300,000 yuan that was lost was squandered by him, and not a single point was recovered.

This little official was sentenced to be executed, and the case was over.

But both the government and the opposition know that this little official is just a scapegoat, and the case is far from being so simple, but it cannot be investigated deeply.

Zhou Yingqiu knows about this case, and he also knows who is behind this case - Cui Chengxiu.

Listening to the words of the outsider, Zhou Yingqiu thought for a while and said, "Did he say anything?" ”

Yuan Wailang said: "He knows a lot, he said a few names, and he also said that there is an account book with the names of many big people. ”

Zhou Yingqiu's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Where is the person, take me there." ”

Wailang agreed, and took Zhou Yingqiu to a side room.

Zhou Yingqiu looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and said in a cold voice with a majestic face: "Do you know what the crime of framing an important minister of the court is?" Raid the family and exterminate the family! ”

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, trembling all over, his face was more ugly than crying, and said, "Adult, what the villain said is true, don't dare to deceive." ”

Zhou Yingqiu looked at him, his eyes flickered for a while, and said, "Where are the account books you said?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "The villain is responsible for bookkeeping in Caoyun Yamen, there were originally two books, but one was taken away, and only one book was left, hidden in the cellar of the family." ”

Zhou Yingqiu's eyes were fierce and said, "Who is it?" ”

The middle-aged man trembled and said, "I don't know, they just want me to surrender today, otherwise they will kill me." ”

"You came to surrender, and it is also the crime of killing your head, don't you know?" The outsider immediately shouted.

The middle-aged man trembled more and more violently, and said, "I know, I know." ”

Zhou Yingqiu looked at the middle-aged man and knew that his words were not true, and it was obvious that someone was manipulating behind his back.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't ask again, stood for a moment, turned around and walked out of the side room.

He Qitu already knew the news, hurried over, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu looked outside the criminal department, sneered, and said, "It is estimated that someone can't wait and wants to drive us away as soon as possible." ”

He Qitu suddenly understood that it might be related to the party struggle in the court, and he didn't dare to say more.

Zhou Yingqiu looked outside and was silent for a long time, his face full of mockery.

He couldn't help it, He Qitu couldn't help it, and asked again: "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu put his hands behind his back and said, "Since the case is here, let's investigate, carefully investigate." ”

He Qitu understood what Zhou Yingqiu meant, it was just one word, drag.

"My lord, I'm afraid those people can't help us, right?" He Qi said.

Zhou Yingqiu's eyes were full of coldness, and he said: "Then it's up to them, you keep an eye on me to see who jumps out." ”

He Qitu was still not at ease, and said, "My lord, what do you say about urging your lord?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu's expression remained unchanged, and he said after a while: "Give him a breath." ”

He Qitu looked at Zhou Yingqiu's side face, didn't dare to say more, and responded with a 'yes'.

This matter, even if it is so decided.

Meng Hezhou was not far from the Criminal Department, looking at the Criminal Department, which had been quiet, and turned to look at the other person behind him.

This is a young woman in her early twenties, Meng Hezhou said, "You know how to do it, right? ”

The woman gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "Hmm! I'm going to Dali Temple, and you promised me to do what you promised! ”

Meng Hezhou said: "Don't worry, I've already done half of it." ”

The woman looked at Meng Hezhou, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Dali Temple on the edge of the Criminal Department.

The woman beat the drum in front of the Dali Temple, and the drum was very loud, resounding to see the Dali Temple.

A temple was just about to get off work, looked at her, and immediately frowned: "Don't knock, what's the matter?" ”

The woman knelt down with a puff, held an account book, and said, "The woman wants to avenge her deceased husband, he was killed and killed." This is the account book he gave me before he died, and he said that if he died suddenly, it would be the people above who murdered him. ”

Si Cheng was stunned, didn't answer, and asked, "What kind of account book is this?" ”

The woman said: "This is the account book of the Yellow River that was renovated last year, and all the entries and exits are on it." ”

Sicheng is also half of the high-level of Dali Temple, and knows that last year's 'Yellow River embankment repair case', because of the unexplained disappearance of the river repair money, many people were arrested, and finally because of insufficient evidence, it was closed.

Si Cheng looked at the woman and the account book she was holding with a solemn expression.

It didn't take long for Wu Chunfu, the secretary of Dali Temple who had not yet been transferred, to know about this, he sat on the chair and said in a good time: "You mean, this matter is aimed at Cui Chengxiu?" ”

As a rising star of 'Wubiao', Wu Chunfu doesn't like Cui Chengxiu and has a kind of contempt.

Si Cheng said: "It should be, but I don't know who made it." ”

Wu Chunfu leaned back in his chair, his expression was a little obscure, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, you say, what should we do?" ”

Si Cheng seemed to understand Wu Chunfu's thoughts, and said with a low smile: "Then we will check, not big or small, but let everyone know." ”

Wu Chunfu immediately understood, his smile became more obscure, and said, "Then check it." ”

"Yes, my lord." Si Cheng bowed his head and said with an ambiguous smile.

At the same time, there were two old women who walked into the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they sued Cui Chengxiu, the former Imperial Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, for covering up the fraud case of the imperial examination last year, and their son was a roller shutter official, who was wronged and made a substitute for the dead.

Cao Sicheng, Cao Yubian had just settled the catastrophe caused by Zhou Zheng's notebook, and he was about to leave quickly in a panic, but he didn't expect that there was trouble coming to the door again.

Cao Sicheng's face sank like water, and his eyes were full of anger.

Cao Yubian looked at him and said, "Now is not the time to be angry, no matter who is making trouble behind the scenes, this case has fallen, and we will not be able to leave." ”

Cao Sicheng has been putting on a gentle elder appearance recently, and his voice is still a little hoarse: "We finally exchanged Zhou Zhengyun for Cui Chengxiu's resignation, and now we are here again, what do you say?" ”

Cao Yubian was anxious in his heart, and said like a broken jar: "We can't fight with Cui Chengxiu anymore, I'll see what evidence there is, and send it directly to Cui Chengxiu to see what he does." ”

Cao Sicheng frowned tightly and said, "It's only like this, also, take care of the mouths below, before we leave, we are not allowed to write scribbling when it comes to this matter." ”

"It's okay for us to say here, don't forget that there are still six subjects." Cao Yubian said.

Cao Sicheng became more and more irritable, and said, "I can't care so much, let Cui Chengxiu worry about it." ”

Cao Yubian thought that this was the only way.

In fact, it was not necessary for Cao Sicheng to deliberately ventilate, and the case that occurred before the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple got off work quickly spread.

It was about Cui Chengxiu, and naturally it reached his ears as soon as possible.
