Chu Mingwei took the file and looked through it in front of everyone, and the officials didn't know what the case was for a while, but the officials who had organic spirits had already vaguely felt that this case was likely to be related to Cao Sen.

Chu Mingwei finally raised his head, squinted at Cao Sen, and asked in a cold voice: "Cao Sixian, in April this year, do you know about the case of a pregnant woman who will be examined?" ”

When Cao Sen heard this, his face turned pale, and his forehead, which was already sweating, was even more cold sweat.

"This official asks you, do you know about the case of Ma Ta pregnant woman?" Chu Mingwei's voice became cold.

Cao Sen lowered his head, and his voice was extremely low: "Humble ...... Humble knows! ”

"In April this year, the case file was submitted from the auditor." Chu Mingwei said slowly: "Huiji Ma Buren rode a horse on the street and trampled on a pregnant woman, causing her death, this case has also been tried, and Ma Buren was sentenced to death." He threw a pile of files in his hand in front of Cao Sen: "Ma Buren should have asked last month, why is he still alive and well, and he has been released from prison?" ”

"Humble ..... Humble ......! Cao Sen's face was like ashes, and he raised his hand again and again to wipe his sweat with his sleeve: "I reviewed the file carefully, and I felt that it was ..... felt that there were many doubts in it, and then ..... Later, I re-investigated and learned that ..... learned that although Ma Buren trampled on the pregnant woman, he ..... But pregnant women are not killed by it, but by ......! ”

"Fart!" Qi Ning snorted coldly: "Cao Sen, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you really want this official to investigate this case thoroughly?" ”

At this time, the officials had already understood that there must be something strange in the case of Ma Ta Pregnant Woman, and this Cao Sen was likely to play a disgraceful role in it.

Chu Mingwei also snorted coldly: "Look for yourself, the good things you have done are all in it." ...... you changed your confession without authorization, created false testimony, exonerated the murderer, and accepted benefits because of it, there are confessions of witnesses, and the ins and outs of the matter are all clearly .......! He said sharply: "You are so bold! ”

Cao Sen trembled, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound for a while, and suddenly rolled his eyes, and the whole person had fallen to the ground.

Everyone was stunned, Chu Mingwei made a look, and the official of the criminal department stepped forward to check, and soon said: "Lord Ministry, he ..... He passed out. ”

There was a sudden noise in all directions, Cao Sen suddenly fainted, and everyone present knew in their hearts that what Chu Mingwei said must be true, and this Cao Sen must have fainted because the truth was exposed in public.

Qi Ning's new official took office today, and many people guessed that he might come with three fires, but no one thought that as soon as Qi Ning made a move, it would be a fatal killing move, Cao Sen was involved in the case of Ma Ta pregnant woman, and what he did must be extremely secretive, and no one in the Criminal Department knew about it, but he didn't expect Qi Ning, who had never been in contact with the Criminal Department before, to be able to come up with conclusive evidence.

This little marquis has great powers, and he really has hands and eyes, and many people's hearts have already burst out.

"Pull it down and put it in jail." Qi Ning waved his hand: "After waking up, I will be beaten with fifty strokes first, and then detained in a large prison, and the official will carefully investigate this case, and then deal with it according to the law." ”

Several officials from the Criminal Department immediately carried Cao Sen who had passed out down.

Cao Sen, as one of the chief officials of the Yamen of the Seventh Division of the Criminal Department, although he is not a high-ranking official, but he has been in the Criminal Department for many years, but he is still very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for him to dare to be late today, and deliberately sing against the newly appointed minister, but this little marquis thunderous means, three times five divided by two, let Cao Sen go to prison, originally many people still didn't care about this young little marquis, but at this time they were already a little afraid.

"Wei Yujiang!" Qi Ning sat up straight and glanced at Wei Yujiang.

Wei Yujiang was just a low-level official of the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department, and when he heard Qi Ning's greeting, he straightened his clothes, stood up and knelt down: "Humble Wei Yujiang see the lord of the department!" ”

"Wei Yujiang, do you remember what happened on the Qinhuai River that night?" Qi Ning asked with a smile.

On the side, Liao Zhen's heart tightened, that night he was handling the case in Qinhuaihe, acting rudely, offending Qi Ning, today when he entered the hall and saw Qi Ning sitting high on it, he kept panicking in his heart, lest Qi Ning settle accounts after the autumn, at this time Qi Ning called out Wei Yujiang, Liao Zhen's heart sank, and he secretly thought that he should come and finally came.

That night, Wei Yujiang had the courage to say a few words to Qi Ning to defend Liao Zhen, Liao Zhen thought that this little marquis must have a grudge, and today he took the opportunity to take revenge and deal with Wei Yujiang, and then it was his turn.

Wei Yujiang looked serious and said, "If you return to the words of Lord Huibutang, remember!" ”

Qi Ning asked: "You have a good memory, you haven't forgotten, the official asked you, you dared to contradict the official that night, you are not small, if you are asked to choose again, do you dare to talk back to the official?" ”

Qi Ning mentioned the matter of Qin Huaihe, many officials still don't know why, at this time, after hearing Qi Ning's words, it suddenly dawned on him, many people secretly called this Wei Yujiang but it was going to be unlucky, this little Hou Ye shot ruthlessly today, it was not a good stubble at a glance, Wei Yujiang had actually bumped into him, how could the little Hou Ye let it go.

Wei Yujiang stiffened his head and said: "If you go back to the ministry hall, you will be humble...... The humble position was not intended to contradict Hou Ye, he just told Hou Ye the truth that day. Guilt should naturally be punished, but the matter of criminal law has a charter, heavy punishment for serious crimes, light punishment for minor crimes, naturally cannot be abolished because of people, due to personal preferences, heavy punishment for minor crimes or light punishment for serious crimes, that ...... That's not what the Ministry of Punishment should do. ”

Liao Zhen was frightened, secretly thinking that at this time, he naturally wanted to follow the words of the little marquis, the little marquis can say whatever he likes to hear, Wei Yujiang is talking like this, isn't he killing himself, and he looked at Wei Yujiang again and again, but Wei Yujiang just didn't see it.

Qi Ning's face turned cold, and he sneered: "Can't you abolish the law because of people? Hehe, you are so bold, if the nobles in the palace or the pillars of the court slightly violate the law of the country, do you have to be investigated? ”

Wei Yujiang's face became solemn, and he said loudly: "Lord Huibutang, since it is a law, it is naturally the whole country to abide by the law, and there is nothing in the laws of the Criminal Department that says that the nobles in the palace or the pillars of the court should not be held accountable if they violate the law of the country." ”

"You're not ashamed to say it." Qi Ning snorted coldly: "If there is really a member of the imperial court who violates the law of the country, will you Wei Yujiang still dare to pursue it?" ”

"If this really happens, and the lord of the ministry orders the lowly to investigate, why don't the lowly officials dare?" Wei Yujiang said loudly: "Enforce the law impartially, do not engage in favoritism, and humble your duties..... If you do a bad job in accordance with the laws of the country, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Liao Zhen sighed in his heart, he knew that Wei Yujiang was not bad, but he was upright, and because of this, he was incompatible with many colleagues, and he was not a likable guy in the Criminal Department, so although he had been in the Criminal Department for many years, he had not been able to be promoted.

Today, this guy actually said in public that once the powerful man violates the law of the country, he will be investigated to the end, you need to know that this lord is the minister of Chu State, and if he replies like this, he will greatly offend this little marquis, and I am afraid that a big disaster will come next.

There was a dead silence in the lobby, and no one dared to say a word.

Everyone knows that Wei Yujiang will definitely be unlucky next, this person does not have many good colleagues in the Criminal Department on weekdays, and no one thinks about interceding for him, thinking that it is best not to say a word at this time, so as not to be involved by this guy.

Qi Ning stared at Wei Yujiang, his eyes were deep and his expression was cold, and all the officials lowered their heads, waiting for the little marquis's thunderous anger to erupt.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded, everyone was stunned, looked at Qi Ning, and saw that Qi Ning was laughing, this laughter was very abrupt, and everyone didn't know what was going on for a while, but they saw Qi Ning get up from the chair, walk down slowly, and slowly walked in front of Wei Yujiang, looked at Wei Yujiang a few times, and stretched out his hands to help Wei Yujiang up.

Everyone was stunned for a while, but they heard Qi Ning say loudly: "You have all heard it, Wei Yujiang's sentence 'do not abolish the law because of others' is the true meaning of the Criminal Department. The state has a law, but what is its role? It is meant to make everyone abide by the law, and if there is no royal law, wouldn't it be a chaotic world. Since there is a law, it is natural that everyone should abide by the law, the common people should abide by the law, and the high-ranking officials and nobles should also be punished. ”

Liao Zhen was stunned, and Wei Yujiang was also surprised, showing surprise.

"Wei Yujiang, as you just said, if a dignitary violates the law of the country and has an order from the official, you will be held accountable to the end, your promise, the official will keep it in mind, and I hope you yourself will not forget it." Qi Ning patted Wei Yujiang's arm lightly, and said: "Cao Sen knows the law and violates the law, the crime is extremely evil, the autumn trial office naturally cannot be handed over to him, from now on, you go to the autumn trial office to preside, every case, you have to give the official a firm check, if you are in office, make an unjust case, the official will not spare you." ”

All the officials present were dumbfounded, and Wei Yujiang also felt embarrassed, and said unexpectedly: "Lord Ministry, humble duty...... This......! ”

"What? Don't want to go to the Autumn Tribunal? Qi Ning said with a smile: "This official has just arrived, your ability is not very clear, first stay in the autumn trial department, if you don't do a good job, you can't go back to the Supervision and Arrest Division, and you don't even have to stay in the Criminal Department, but if you really do your best, this official will naturally reuse it." Looking around, he said lightly: "You all listen, the official can't control how the criminal department used to use people, but since the saint has let the official take charge of the criminal department, how the criminal department will use people in the future, the official will naturally be attentive." The Criminal Department does not raise useless people, and if the corpse is vegetarian, don't ...... appear in my Criminal Department! With his hands behind his back, he turned around and walked back to the hall slowly, and said calmly: "Don't think that this is the three fires of the new official, the official does not have that hobby, if they all do their duty, everyone will do errands with harmony and contribute to the court, but if someone wants to think about the east and west, their minds are not on the errand.....!" Suddenly turned around, raised his hand and pointed out of the gate: "As far as you can, you can get as far as this official goes!" ”
