Penal Department.

Han Zhaozhi looked at Ye Liuyun, who was dressed in an official uniform, and looked at it carefully, and then laughed out loud: "You are practicing the eyes of an official." ”

Ye Liuyun shook his head: "I didn't!" ”

Han Zhaozhi smiled: "Do you deny that it is useful?" Just the moment you lost your mind, your eyes changed several times, and there was only me in front of you, and you didn't listen to what I said, which can only show that you are afraid, you are panicking, and you are even unconsciously practicing how to show a convincing look. ”

Ye Liuyun glanced at him, softening like a deflated ball: "Yes......"

Han Zhaozhi said: "There's no need to deliberately think about what that kind of look should be, those who are traitors will be scared of everyone who sees the Tingwei Mansion, this is a natural reaction, the criminal department...... Although there is nothing to do, most of the time I pick up some leftover farts from our Tingwei Mansion, but after a long time, I will have that momentum, mainly righteousness, and I am afraid of evil people, ghosts and gods. ”

Ye Liuyun: "Why do I want to pick up your farts and eat them?" ”

Han Zhaozhi: "Maybe it's because my Tingwei Mansion ate all the big farts?" ”

Ye Liuyun laughed: "You all have eaten the big flavor?" ”

Han Zhaozhi: "Disgusting. ”

Ye Liuyun got up and walked to the window: "I decided to go with you to the Tingwei Mansion for a few days to see how the Tingwei Mansion operates, how the Tingwei Mansion investigates and handles cases, and what is the set of process rules for doing things." ”

Han Zhaozhi snorted: "Welcome Building." ”

Ye Liuyun was stunned: "What's wrong with the welcome building?" ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Each of the people in our Tingwei Mansion must get a half-price VIP card, otherwise I won't take you to learn." ”

Ye Liuyun said seriously: "Eight-fold, it can't be more." ”

Han Zhaozhi: "Eight folds is eight folds." ”

Two people left the Criminal Department, every official of the Criminal Department looked at these two big men in horror, the Criminal Department Shangshu Zhong Shangliang was taken down by the Tingwei Mansion within a few years of coming, it is said that he will be tried early tomorrow morning, no one knows what big cases will be implicated in this, everyone in the Criminal Department is in danger, although they don't know what they are afraid of, but they are afraid.

As soon as Ye Liuyun's footsteps stopped, he stopped there, and everyone stood up and looked at him.

Ye Liuyun thought for a while, raised his voice and said: "You shouldn't be afraid, you shouldn't be afraid, you shouldn't even be uneasy, if Zhong Shangliang's case has nothing to do with you, you can celebrate now, celebrate, you have ushered in the hardest Lord Shangshu ever." ”

He pointed at Han Zhaozhi: "As hard as him." ”

The people in the Criminal Department looked at each other, some quietly breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of their mouths rose slightly, and some people didn't seem to react, but they were really down-to-earth, in fact, the new Lord Shangshu was right, this is the hardest Lord Shangshu ushered in by the Criminal Department in more than 20 years since the current emperor Li Chengtang ascended the throne.

Ye Liuyun said: "If you don't have any guilt in your heart, I hope that in the future, when you go out, you will walk more than the people in Tingweifu, because you represent the law of the country and follow me to do things, I will make you all hardened, because you are selfless, so fearless." ”

He glanced at everyone, everyone just looked at him, Ye Liuyun nodded and walked away, and when he walked to the door, there was a burst of applause behind him, first sparsely, and then thunderous applause.

Han Zhaozhi glanced at him: "It's kind of interesting." ”

Ye Liuyun: "Is it hard or not?" ”

Han Zhaozhi: "It must not be as hard as me." ”

At this time, Shen Leng, who had just come out of the Yang Palace and was not worried about Ye Liuyun, entered the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard these two saying that you must not be as hard as me, he stood there, looking at it with a kind of vision that turned out that the two of you were this kind of person, Han Zhaozhi was stunned, Ye Liuyun was also stunned, and the two of them glanced at each other again, confirming that Shen Leng might be going to say something shameless.

Shen Leng: "You two ......"

Ye Liuyun: "It's not what you think. ”

Shen Leng: "I mean, you two, tougher? ”

Han Zhaozhi squinted at him, and Shen Leng sighed, "Take me with you next time." ”

Ye Liuyun: "Roll ......"

The three of them left the Criminal Department and got into Ye Liuyun's carriage, which is the special car of the Criminal Department's Shangshu, and the carriage has the emblem of the Daning Criminal Department, and Han Zhaozhi's black carriage is still being repaired, and it is estimated that it will not be repaired in half a month.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Tingwei's Mansion, and after the three of them entered Tingwei's Mansion, they went directly to Han Zhaozhi's single courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard door, Shen Leng found that something was wrong, and only when they entered the room did they realize that something was wrong...... The windows were open, and the heavy curtains were also open, so the room was very bright, so bright that it was wrong for Ye Liuyun and Shen Leng to have the illusion that they had come.

Ye Liuyun stretched out his finger and pointed to the curtain, but did not speak, his expression already represented everything.

Han Zhaozhi tidied up the things on the table: "Nine-year-old said, it's too dark in the room. ”

The smiles on Ye Liuyun and Shen Leng's faces disappeared at the same time, and both of them fell silent.

Han Zhaozhi didn't think it was anything, he used to close the window, after all, it was already the cold wind pouring in outside Layue, and the cold was unbearable, he said while closing the window: "Shang came to me three times before leaving Chang'an at the age of nine, and every time he said that I was like a person who locked himself in a dark hell, he said that he didn't like me, it was too dark, and if it was dark, it would be moldy, and he was worried that one day even I would be moldy." ”

"After coming back from southern Xinjiang, I pushed open the door and walked into this room, maybe because I had been away for too long this time, and there was really a musty smell in the house, so I began to force myself to develop the habit of opening the window to breathe, which is good."

His tone was flat, as if there was really nothing left.

Just seemingly.

Ye Liuyun sat down, while Shen Leng went to light the fire.

"Let's talk about the case."

Han Zhaozhi made tea for the two of them: "Zhong Shangliang is Mu Zhaotong's protégé, so it is natural for us to think about him to Mu Zhaotong, and it is natural to think that all this was arranged before Mu Zhaotong's death, but I checked Zhong Shangliang's experience as an official over the years, and the year he worshiped Mu Zhaotong's door, Mu Zhaotong arranged for him to go to the Western Xinjiang Arsenal to work, and after five years of training in the Western Xinjiang Arsenal, Mu Zhaotong transferred him to the Jiazi Battalion in Gyeonggi Province to work, and for another five years, he did the marching affairs of the Jiazi Battalion. ”

Shen Leng glanced at him: "Then why did you suddenly transfer to the Criminal Department?" ”

"After Yan Jugang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was killed by Su Leng, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Shilang, and the two positions were vacant, Zhong Shangliang was first transferred to the Shilang, and two years later he was promoted to Shangshu, which was considered to be a good time, and he caught up with a good time...... But in this case, I had something else in mind. ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Because it involves the Jiazi Battalion, I deliberately investigated the transfer of officials on the Jiazi Battalion, and then found a very strange place, Zhong Shangliang left the Jiazi Battalion and went to the Criminal Department to serve, first as a squire, and then as Shang Shu, and after him Du Gaochun, the marching officer of the Jiazi Battalion, was transferred to the military department and served as a squire in the military department. ”

Han Zhaozhi paused for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Calculating that An Yuanzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is not young, he has been in the Ministry of War for more than 20 years, and he was already forty years old when His Majesty sent someone to bring him back from Northern Xinjiang." ”

"Thirty-nine."

Ye Liuyun said: "The year I took him back, he was thirty-nine. ”

"I'm in my sixties now."

Han Zhaozhi said: "If nothing happens, An Yuanzhi will retire after the battle of Northern Xinjiang, and Du Gaochun will take over as the secretary of the military department, which is almost an ironclad thing, and there will be no problems." ”

Ye Liuyun's face changed slightly: "I said something that shouldn't be said...... If there is no accident, in the next few years, both the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Military Department Shangshu will be from that side......"

He pointed east.

In fact, all three of them know it, but no one can say it directly.

If Zhong Shangliang didn't want to rectify Shen Leng this time, the most important thing was that if he hadn't shown his feet when he wanted to get rid of Han Zhaozhi, his position would be very stable, after all, he was less than fifty years old, and he could still be an official in the court for more than ten years, so ...... The two important positions of the Criminal Department and the Military Department may be the prince's person.

"You mean, not only to check Zhong Shangliang, but also to check Du Gaochun?"

Ye Liuyun said: "Although I was not in the officialdom before, I probably know what the situation is like in the military department now, An Yuanzhi is already a little powerless, so most of the things in this Northern Expedition are handled by Du Gaochun, and he is in contact with all aspects, co-ordinating, planning, and implementing, and An Yuanzhi is just listening to his report...... At this moment, if you want to check Du Gaochun, it will inevitably affect the Northern Expedition. ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "Before the Northern Expedition, you can't move lightly. ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "First of all, we have to make sure that this person will not do anything during the Northern Expedition of the army." ”

"What can you do?"

Ye Liuyun looked at Han Zhaozhi: "How bold can he be?" ”

Han Zhaozhi shook his head slightly: "Don't forget, Your Majesty is going to take the royal conquest in person." ”

The three fell silent again.

East Palace.

The prince moved his arms, raised his hand and rubbed his neck: "It's really tiring and annoying, my neck hurts and I can't stand it....."

Cao Anqing, the head of the East Palace, bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, think about it, in the future, Your Highness will inherit the unification, and it will be more tiring and harder than now." ”

The crown prince sighed: "Emperor, supreme, don't you even have the right to enjoy leisure?" ”

"Your Highness, it's good to be idle, but the affairs of a country are carried on your shoulders, how can you be idle? His Royal Highness's hard work at this time is to adapt to the hardships in the future, think about how His Majesty does things, and His Royal Highness will have a goal and should be prepared. ”

The prince glanced at him: "That is, you, can be by my side all the time to remind me, by the way, how is the arrangement of what I asked you to do?" ”

"Tomorrow, a banquet will be arranged in the welcome building, and Shen Leng will be invited."

The prince shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about. ”

"The slave maid has already eliminated all the people exposed by the Tianzi Branch, gathered them together to discuss the matter, and put the drug in the meal, the smell of poison is too big, and those people's martial arts are too strong, once the suspicion is aroused, it is not easy to deal with it, the smell of the drug is smaller, and after stuning these people, they are all killed, as for those who are not exposed, the slave and maid have arranged for them to hide in Gyeonggi Province early, not in Chang'an."

"What else?"

The prince said: "Zhong Shangliang is a waste, don't be implicated in the line on his side." ”

"The slave and maid have been broken, no matter how you check, it is impossible to find the East Palace."

"That's good."

The prince was silent for a moment and looked at Cao Anqing: "You have to find a way to remind Du Gaochun that he can't have any more accidents." ”

Cao Anqing lowered his head and said, "I have already been informed." ”

The prince got up, walked to the window while moving, pushed the window open, and the cold wind outside blew in, and the prince shivered: "Father's northern expedition will be the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, and the army will be drawn to the northern frontier, and the climate is just right for the war...... During this time, there can be no more mistakes, after my father arrived in northern Xinjiang, I was in charge of the government, and the affairs of the military department were in the hands of Du Gaochun, everything was easy to say, anyone could have problems, Du Gaochun must not have problems. ”

......

......

[I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Today is an important day in the rivers and lakes, called the June 1st Young Heroes Travel Day, is the day when all the Young Heroes go out to practice, today I cooperated with the Young Heroes to break into the playground, and then swept the supermarket, and at noon they made a celebration banquet together, but the kitchen was a mess, so that the whole day was out of fear of being dominated by the Young Heroes and the Heroines, and now I can code words, I'm sorry everyone. 】
