Jotenmonmon, the main gate of Miyagi.

After the Liangyi Hall was finished, the guards guarding the door heard the three bells ringing and then opened the red lacquered wooden door, first the officials wearing vermilion and purple rode on their horses, and the crimson and green-robed petty officials followed, they were of low grade, but they did not have the right to ride horses in the imperial city.

In November, it is winter.

The jade-white carved railing floated with a thin layer of snow, and there was a shallow frost underneath, and under the silence of the birds, only the painful north wind blew in the ears.

As the old saying goes, "Sixty sixties, seventy ancient rare." ”

Winter is the most difficult season, especially for the elderly, when it is just winter, many streets in Chang'an City have been hung with white silk.

"I don't know if the old decay will survive this winter." Feng Deyi squinted his eyes and looked at the entire Chang'an City from the high platform of the Liangyi Palace, until the cold snowflakes drifted into his eyes, turned into a trickle, and wiped off the water stains with his calloused and rough hands, and he said mockingly: "The snowflakes in Guanzhou are much colder than the gold-dusted place of Chang'an, and the old decay has lasted for so many years, and it is not bad this winter." ”

In another month, it is New Year's Day, which is also the beginning of all things, and it represents the arrival of the first year of Zhenguan.

The officials who ordered Mao had almost left, and they were in a hurry to board the saddle at Chengtianmen and go to the political affairs hall, but Feng Deyi was not in a hurry. He is the Zhongshu Order, and he also holds the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, and is worthy of the name of the prime minister.

But this is the position of the Wude Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the newly appointed Emperor His Majesty, he is already at the peak of the people's ministers, but the Qin Wangfu, such as the general of Zuo Wuhou, Changsun Wuji and others have not yet been promoted......

In the first year of Zhenguan, not only His Majesty the Emperor was waiting, but everyone in the court was waiting, waiting for the old ministers of the Wude Dynasty to be replaced and vacant seats.

Feng Deyi is now like a thorn.

"Feng Xianggong, when you are old, you should walk more, stay where you are and inevitably be frozen by the cold wind, and then Your Majesty will lose a virtuous minister!" The eldest grandson Wuji had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his chubby face was indescribably happy, and someone in the harem had already said that "Qingque is very similar to his uncle", and they were all smiling the same.

But those who are familiar with the eldest grandson Wuji know that how much evil and ruthlessness is hidden in that smile is unknown.

If Fang Du is compared to the toughest sword back of Tian Khan, which can withstand countless beatings, and the blade is the Tiance Mansion army under his command, then the wolf poison dagger hidden in the belly is the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Really?" Feng Deyi rolled up his sleeves, walked down the steps, and said in a strong voice: "Although the old decay is old, it will not be left behind. ”

But as soon as he said that, there was an itch in his throat, and he forcibly held it back, only a deep muffled snort.

The arc of the eldest grandson Wuji's smile was even greater, and he arched his hand and said: "Feng Xianggong can have three eclipse fights, Wuji admires!" I don't know how to deal with the next criminal department case, Wuji...... I'm looking forward to it! ”

In the last sentence, the voice became smaller and smaller, so small that only the eldest grandson Wuji could hear it, and it was inaudible.

Walking to the gate of Chengtian, Feng Deyi finally couldn't hold it anymore, as if all the middle qi had been drained, fortunately, the servant with eye disease stepped forward to help him, and he couldn't stop coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his liver and lungs, he covered his mouth with a brocade hand.

Finally refreshed, but when Feng Deyi looked at Jinpa again, he was stunned, and the whole person was a lot haggard, and Jinpa was stained with fishy thick phlegm and ..... A mouthful of blood!

He unhurriedly took the bronze hollow hand stove handed over by the servant, and then sat in the soft sedan chair authorized by the emperor and went to the political hall.

"Are there any major cases in the Criminal Department recently?" Feng Deyi was draped in thick felt, even though he was carrying a hot hand stove in his arms, and there was a charcoal basin in the house, and the flames were burning.

But he still feels very cold, cold and shivering, and the scene of playing in the heavy snow in Guanzhou, Hebei Province when he was a child is no longer ......

Dai Xuan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, he remembered the mountain of cases clearly, and said: "On the fourth day of the ninth month, the Wang family in Gaoling Plain Township was killed, and there were a total of eleven people in the rich Wang family, five men, six women, and two servants...... On October 11, Zheng Yuan, a merchant from Lantian Township, lost 5,000 stone of rice and 1,000 stone of millet in Nancang......"

Feng Deyi listened impatiently, and interrupted casually: "What I want to listen to is a major case, not a trivial matter. ”

For the prime minister of a country, destroying the door and stealing is indeed not enough, not to mention the beginning of the troubled times, these things are not worth mentioning.

"Feng Xianggong, this is already the most important case in recent years, although the northern part of Guanzhong was plundered by the Turks, but fortunately, His Majesty is sympathetic to the people, so the area around Guanzhong is almost unfounded, of course, there is one more thing, that is, the rebellion of Peng Guogong, but His Majesty has already said it in the court....." Dai Xuan said slowly.

Feng Deyi frowned, Dai Zhou is a capable minister, and what he said must be flawless, but the eldest grandson Wuji will not be unprovoked, he said: "After sorting out the case files of the last ten days, I will present it to the prime minister, even if it is a trivial matter." ”

Dai Xuan nodded, walked out of the political hall, and went to the criminal department to tell his subordinates to hurry up and sort out the case files.

The criminal department is not in the palace, but adjacent to the Wannian County Office, and the other six departments are roughly the same, and the political hall has a limited number of places, except for the Taichang Temple, which directly serves the royal department, which can be directly set up here, the others must be moved out to save space. (Chang'an City is divided into an inner city and an outer city, the inner city is the imperial city, also called the imperial palace, the front of the palace is the place to deal with political affairs, and the palace city inside is the place where the emperor and his concubines live.) ）

Half an hour later, several small officials in soap robes sweated profusely and walked into the side room of the political hall with the case files with their chin thick.

The top moves his mouth, and the bottom is busy cutting off his hands.

The little officials didn't dare to complain in the slightest, and after glancing at Prime Minister Chi Dusk from a distance, they respectfully closed the door and exited.

Feng Deyi cheered up, opened his tired eyes, and searched for the "things" that the eldest grandson Wuji laughed at from the mountains of files.

A quarter of an hour later, the hard work paid off, and a dossier printed with the seal of the Jingyang County Order was slowly opened.

"It turns out that the eldest grandson Wuji is talking about the female history painting screen in the palace, although it involves folk customs, but the punishment of the criminal department is also very fair, and the compensation for the dowry is ten yuan, but it can be ......" Feng Deyi smiled.

Ten yuan is not a trivial matter, so the Wang family appealed for compensation. However, the female history is the fifth grade, and the county order of Jingyang County is the seventh grade, and the low grade cannot be disposed of, so it is transferred to the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department sentenced Huaping to compensate the Lin family for ten yuan, and the Lin family also served one year of hard labor because of the civil lawsuit.

Impartiality of disposition.

"If the order of the Criminal Department is issued like this, it will inevitably leave a handle...... But when it comes to the emperor, it's really hard to deal with, justice is the biggest 'injustice'! Feng Deyi thought secretly in his heart.
