When Hai Rui was explaining to Sun Chengzong here, Xu Wenchang was also explaining Li Yiqi over there. Unlike Hai Rui, Li Yiqi is very low-key because of his background, and he is a little inferior.

Xu Wenchang sees this very clearly, but the change of this kind of thing does not happen overnight.

As people's status and power grow, this inferiority complex will slowly disappear.

"After Benguan and Lord Hai leave, this Daxing County will be handed over to you and Sun Chengzong." Xu Wenhai looked at Li Yiqi and said with a smile: "Do a good job, let go of your guts, if something happens, I and Lord Hai will bear it for you." ”

"Don't talk about anything else, I can still enter the palace to see the emperor and plead for you."

Listening to Xu Wenchang's words, Li Yiqi's heart was very warm, and he also knelt on the ground and said, "Li Yiqi has thanked the two adults for their cultivation. ”

This is not for this promotion, but since they arrived in Daxing, Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang have attached great importance to them as civil servants, and it can be said that they are hand-in-hand teaching.

For such a long time, their relationship with Xu Wenchang is not only like a superior, but also more like a master and apprentice.

Standing up and helping Li Yiqi up, Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "Do a good job, you are the first batch of civil servants, Your Majesty is watching you, don't let Your Majesty down." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials understand!" Li Yiqi hurriedly bowed and said.

The most serious competition for the position of the Imperial History of the Five Cities is the Imperial Procuratorate, after all, the Imperial History of the Patrol City itself is subordinate to the Imperial Procuratorate. In addition, this time the imperial history of the five cities is still serving as the deputy imperial envoy, so it is the due meaning of the imperial envoy with old qualifications.

Anyone who is qualified for this position wants to be promoted, especially a few of them.

It's just that in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is a yamen that was vigorous when it was established, but then disappeared, and everyone is about to forget its existence, this yamen is the Ming Law and Discipline Division.

When the Ming Law and Discipline Division, the yamen, was established, there was a lot of movement.

The royal family of the right capital of the Imperial Court was in charge of the affairs and mobilized many people to enter, but later, this yamen seemed to disappear, and it seemed that it never existed at all.

In fact, this yamen has not only not disappeared, but has been busy in full swing.

As the first and only section of the investigation department of the Daming Law and Discipline Division, Qi Fei, who was born in an internal factory, knows the importance of keeping a low profile. At the same time, Qi Fei also knows what he should do and how to do it.

"My lord, these are the three cases we have chosen." Qi Fei took out three cases and put them on the table.

Wang Jiaping nodded, in fact, he also knew that the Department of Law and Discipline had been busy here, and he didn't know what he was busy with. He is the head of the Department of Justice and Discipline, and his approval is required for any investigation to be conducted.

It's just that these days, not a single case has been reported by the Department of Law and Discipline.

This time, when I heard Qi Fei say that there was a case to report, Wang Jiaping was really curious, what case would Qi Fei come up with when he fell to the ground. Seeing Qi Fei take out three cases, Wang Jiaping smiled slightly.

Reaching out to pick up the case on top, Wang Jiaping saw the bag at a glance.

There are two big words written on it in cinnabar: confidential! It's very infiltrating when you look at it, but Wang Jiaping knows very well that this kind of confidential document can only be accessed by three people in the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

One is himself, the other is the Imperial History Wang Seal of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other is Qi Fei.

If other people check confidential cases without authorization, they will be punished as espionage into secrets, and they will be killed. Reaching out to take out the information in the bag, Wang Jiaping saw the text on the cover at a glance.

When he saw these words, Wang Jiaping felt that his heart was about to jump out.

Glancing at Qi Fei, he saw that his old god was sitting, and it was obvious that this was the first case he chose. Wang Jiaping felt a little out of breath, this case was really too big.

The case of Zhao Deqian, the servant of the ministry, betraying the official!

This case is really too big, not to mention that it involves the officials, and not to mention the servants involved, as the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Jiaping is not afraid of the officials.

But this is a case of selling officials!

Behind every case of selling officials, there will be a large number of people involved, and those who buy officials, what position are they in now? How many people participated? Once checked, it's a monstrous wave.

Putting the document back in his hand, Wang Jiaping picked up the second document again.

After opening it, he glanced inside, Wang Jiaping gasped again, this time it was not a matter of the ministry, but it was replaced by the household department, and it was also aimed at the squire

The case of the left servant of the household department who moved to sell grain.

The case of reselling grain involving the household servant must be the reselling of grain that is often closed. This is not a small case, and if it is really investigated, it is also a shocking case.

Who is the buyer? Who helped do it? Grain reselling is not something that one person can do.

This is a nest case, a nest is a nest if it is caught, and the number of people will definitely not be a minority.

Wang Jiaping glanced at Qi Fei again, stuffed the document back again, and then picked up the last file. After opening it and taking a look, Wang Jiaping actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this case is against the Criminal Department, and he is also a servant of the Criminal Department, this case is really much smaller than the first two cases.

Yang Huan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, accepted bribes.

took out the paperwork in the bag and glanced at it, Wang Jiaping felt that his heartbeat had missed a beat. Obviously, what he thought was too simple, how could this Qi Fei come over with a small case.

Yang Huan, who is the right attendant of the Criminal Department, has a lot of power in his hands, that is, the case review.

As the right capital of the Imperial History, Wang Jiaping is also a member of the Three Law Divisions, and he is very clear about the powers of the Three Law Divisions. Unlike before, the three law divisions of the Ming Dynasty have a change in authority,

That is, the Criminal Department replaced Dali Temple to take charge of the main trial business, and Dali Temple became a prudent criminal organ, mainly managing the rejection and rehabilitation of unjust and wrongful cases. The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the adjudication organs, and also has the right to "adjudicate on major matters and make decisions on minor matters."

An important manifestation of the judicial power of the criminal department is the verification of sentences, and all criminals tried in the local area will be handed over to the criminal department.

If it is a heinous crime, the criminal department will rule that it will be beheaded, that is, the head will be cut off directly. If it is just a capital crime of beheading, then it is generally the autumn queen's beheading, that is, the autumn decision.

It won't be like what was played in later film and television dramas, the trial is finished here, and the other side is pushed out and cut.

After the state government has tried the case, it will be submitted to the provincial prosecutor's department, and then reported to the criminal department. The entire trial will not be completed until the approval of the Criminal Department has been replied to.

With this power, the Criminal Department can do a lot more.

In these documents, several cases were involved, and all of them were death penalty cases, and several of them were cases of execution. In this, Yang Huan did all the tricks and accepted a lot of bribes.

Although it seems to be a simple bribery case, Wang Jiaping is not a rookie.

Who is the person who has the money to bribe Yang Huan, the servant of the Criminal Department? This kind of thing can be done by Yang Huan alone? Behind each case is the person who took bribes, the local officials who tried the case, and even the Yamen of the Prosecutor's Office.

You must know that the punishment is in charge of a provincial punishment according to the procurator, and he is in a high position and is called a platform.

There is a saying in officialdom that a platform is half a feudal territory, which means that only when you achieve this level can you be regarded as entering the circle of feudal officials, which shows the importance of the official position of Zhantai.

Putting the paperwork back, Wang Jiaping breathed a sigh of relief, none of the three cases were easy to get along.

Glancing at Qi Fei, Wang Jiaping smiled bitterly and sighed, he knew that Qi Fei had given himself a problem. Do you think these three cases will be investigated? If you don't check, it's a dereliction of duty!

Wang Jiaping dared to guarantee that if he didn't check it on his front foot, the emperor would have to pass him into the palace on his back foot.

But check, there is no small case here, if you offend people, it is certain, if the emperor can kill at that time, he will not be able to run away from the hat of a cool official.

According to the emperor's character, will he not kill people? It is simply impossible, whether it is the Hejian Mansion private salt case, or the Yangzhou salt political case, or this time the Fushou Paste Tong Wei case, which time is not the killing of people's heads.

This time, the three cases broke out, and it will inevitably be another bloody storm, maybe it will be used by the emperor to calm the anger of the people in the future, and it will be very miserable at that time.

In those major cases at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which of those officials who handled the case ended well.

On the other hand, Qi Fei, the old god was sitting there, and there was no expression on his face, but he picked up the teacup and took a sip from time to time, as if he was just waiting for Wang Jiaping to finish reading the paperwork.

These three cases are Qi Fei's achievements in the past few days, and he has worked hard to find out, and he even borrowed the channels of the inner factory.

For Qi Fei, he didn't come to the Department of Law and Discipline to be an official, as a person from the inner factory, he couldn't be ashamed anywhere. Since the emperor asked him to do this, he must do it well.

The emperor said that we suffered back then, and what we are doing now is so that our children and grandchildren will not suffer like this. For this reason, the people of the inner factory are willing to shed blood and sacrifice, at the cost of their lives.

did not die in the task of the inner factory, and when he arrived at the Law and Discipline Division, Qi Fei was even more fearless.

In Qi Fei's view, these corrupt officials are innocent, and behind them are countless poor people, their families are ruined, their lives are difficult, and they are even forced to sell their children and daughters.

I was one of them in the first place, and I wanted to stop them from continuing to harm others, and I wanted to save those who had the same fate as myself. The people in the inner factory are fighting with such a belief, although their own people have left the inner factory, but this belief has not been lost.

"Finished reading?" Seeing Wang Jiaping looking at him, Qi Fei smiled lightly and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Yes, I'm done!" Wang Jiaping pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

Qi Fei then asked, "Which case do you think is more appropriate to investigate first?" ”
