On the ninth day of October in the ninth year of Ming orthodoxy, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate.

It's a sunny day, the golden wind is cool, the sky is clear, and the sky is high and refreshing, but for many people, it is also an eventful autumn.

That's right, it is very appropriate to use these four words to describe the officialdom of the capital recently, and too many unpredictable things have happened one after another, which has caught the officials who have always been accustomed to everything in order a little unprepared. And the root of all this is only in the young Daxing County Order named Lu Jin.

At the beginning, he made thirty decrees in the government, and everyone only regarded him as a new official and did not take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, this new officialdom completely ignored certain rules, and actually forcefully implemented the decree, and even took down the families of some officials and dealt with them strictly.

Well, after all, this is for the sake of Beijing's public security, and everyone will put up with it. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, he began to get worse, and somehow, he offended someone, and even provoked someone to kill and assassinate, which made people panic and made many people eat and hang.

And before everyone could react from this incident, this small county magistrate actually did something that stunned everyone - he actually led people straight into the earl's mansion of the imperial court, and also let him dig up a big case that killed dozens of people. That's not all, and then this guy who was so bold and reckless that he ran to beat the Dengwen drum again, and then stabbed the case in front of the Son of Heaven.

This is really a strange thing that has not appeared in decades! Everyone in the officialdom knows that if you want to stand up, the most important thing is to be cautious in your words and deeds, but he is good, but he is causing trouble everywhere, and he is a plague god alive, and whoever touches him will be unlucky. No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them insane, for only those who have lost their minds and gone crazy would do so many unguardable things so recklessly.

Of course, these comments are only in the officialdom, but in the people, Lu Zhen has a completely different evaluation - iron-faced, selfless, honest and responsible, these are the views of the people in the capital on him. Therefore, when Lu Zhen appeared outside the yamen of the Criminal Department today and participated in this rare three-division trial in decades, he was immediately praised by many people gathered outside the yamen.

Of course, this movement made the faces of the officials who arrived at the same time even more gloomy, but the Yamen of the Criminal Department, one of the six departments of the imperial court, and the trial of the three divisions, how could they be so noisy and nonsense, and actually gathered hundreds of people outside the Yamen to watch?

The triage of these three divisions is not ordinary, and its specifications are much higher than ordinary trials. Because this case must be unusual whether it is the presiding judge, the person being interrogated, or the case being pursued.

The presiding judge must be the three law divisions, that is, the criminal department, the Dali Temple and the three yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate each sent a high-ranking official, although it is impossible to be the chief official of the yamen, but the grade cannot be low, as far as the criminal department is concerned, it must be a squire or a langzhong, and the other two yamen must also send corresponding officials.

Naturally, the status of the prisoner being tried cannot be lowered, and ordinary people, even if they commit great crimes, it is impossible for these high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee to take time out to try him together. Like this time, Guangning Bo Liu Xun can be regarded as a qualified prisoner on trial.

In addition to these people, even those who are observing the trial have extraordinary identities. Generally speaking, whenever there is an important case, the Son of Heaven will send people he trusts to supervise the scene, for the purpose of hearing, and most of them are people from Jinyiwei or Dongchang. However, this time, the specifications are higher, and there are more people, and there are two Shangshu from the six ministries alone - Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Xu Xi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and this time even the British Gong Zhang Fu, who has never been very prominent recently, is present, just this lineup, you can know how much the Son of Heaven attaches importance to this case.

From the chief judge to the prisoners, and then to the trial, they are all powerful and high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government, and now inside and outside the lobby of the Criminal Department, the lowest status, in addition to those officers and soldiers who are full of scenes, is Lu Jin, a small county magistrate in Jingxian County.

However, Lu Jin, who was in the middle of it, did not show any nervousness, just stood below with his eyes down, like an old monk in a trance, completely ignoring the cold, ridiculed and hostile gazes around him.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the lips of Hu Hu, who was sitting on the side: "This son's temperament is indeed very comparable, no wonder he dares to cause such a big incident." ”

However, the three people who were the presiding judges, Duan Chong, the servant of the Criminal Department, Lin Mi, the Imperial Palace of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zeng Guangxiao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, looked a little nervous at this time. Speaking of which, although they have been rolling in the officialdom of the capital for many years, it is the first time that they have tried such a serious case.

After glancing at each other and lifting their spirits, the master of the place, Duan Chong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, picked up the shocking wood and slapped it hard, shouted to ascend to the court, and led the prisoner.

With the mighty sound of the soldiers on both sides, the triage of the three divisions finally began.

If it were according to common sense, the trial should have proceeded step by step, first bringing the prisoner up for questioning, and then if he did not admit guilt, he would present evidence and ask witnesses to confront him. But this time, I don't know if it was out of consideration for the identity of the prisoner, Duan Chong did not mention the prisoner first, but shouted: "Where is Lu Jin, the commander of Daxing County?" "I actually found him first!

Although he was a little surprised, Lu Zhen still walked in calmly from outside the hall after being dressed properly: "Xiaguan Lu Zhen has seen all the adults!" As he spoke, he bent down and bowed.

With a soft snort in his nose, Duan Chong asked: "Lu Jin, what is the situation in this case, you should tell the official the truth, and you must not hide anything!" ”

Although he sensed the hostility from the other party, Lu Zhen repeated what he had told the Son of Heaven in the palace before, as he requested. Because of his previous experience and fearlessness in his heart, this time he said it in more detail and vividly, and he didn't even stumble.

Just hearing him say this, Duan Chong's face was a lot gloomy. Because his words were filled with suspicion and distrust of the yamen of the Criminal Department. So when he finished speaking, he said coldly: "Lu Jin, do you know that what you said has the intention of slandering the Criminal Department!" What evidence do you have to say that our criminal department will shield the prisoner in this case? actually went directly to beat the Dengwen drum? ”

"Xia Guan doesn't dare to say that he has any suspicions about the Criminal Department, but Xia Guan is soft-spoken, but this case is too appalling, and he has to guard against it for all purposes." Lu Jin's response was neither arrogant nor humble: "What's more, the case of Feng Changchun's murder was indeed closed by the Criminal Department, and the lower officials really didn't dare to say that if the case was reported, it would definitely be dealt with fairly." ”

"You...... You really have the heart of a villain when you talk like this. My criminal department is an important place for the law, how can you be so slandered! Duan Chong was immediately annoyed, slammed the case, and reprimanded: "You keep saying everything, but do you have any circumstantial evidence?" ”

"Naturally, there is." Lu Zhen replied without giving a step, and then took out an official document from his sleeve: "This is the file of Feng Changchun's case earlier, and it does record the attitude of the Criminal Department towards this case, if you don't believe it, you can take it and take a look!" ”

He had actually made preparations in advance, which made Duan Chong feel troubled. This guy isn't here to testify, how can he even be ready for this?

And taking advantage of his stunnedness, Lu Zhen said again: "But since the adult asked, the lower official also has a few words to say." Originally, as long as Feng Changchun's case was carefully investigated, he would definitely be able to find out Guang Ningbo, why did the Criminal Department end the case in a hurry, what is hidden in it, I hope that the adults can also investigate it in detail, and give an explanation to Your Majesty, to the deceased, and to the people of the world! ”

This counterattack was so fierce that Duan Chong suddenly fell into a situation where he couldn't respond, and his whole face was swollen and red, like a shrimp that was about to be cooked.

And Lu Jin's words were not finished yet, since he was standing here, he didn't plan to leave any affection for these guys, and continued: "There is also Shuntianfu. If it is said that the Criminal Department is only shielding criminals, the behavior of Shuntianfu is even more unbearable, and they may even secretly kill the witnesses in Feng Changchun's case in order to make the case impossible to investigate. This matter is also recorded in the Shuntian Mansion, so adults can go and find out! ”

After these words, everyone was dumbfounded. This guy is really a bastard, and he actually directly reported his top boss Yamen, I've seen fierce, I've never seen such a fierce one!

Hu Hu looked at all this with a smile, this Lu Zhen is indeed a person who is consistent with his words and deeds, and he will never discount it if he wants to investigate the case to the end. Now, he has exposed the matter in front of so many people, and it is impossible for some people to make a big thing small.

Seeing that Duan Chong was beaten by Lu Jin's combination punch and was completely powerless, the other two chief judges had no choice but to speak: "Lu County Order, how should this case be tried, since we have been designated by His Majesty as the chief judge, we will judge impartially, and we don't need you to put your beak!" We will definitely investigate the doubts you mentioned, and we will never let the guilty get out. Step aside, don't mess with the rules. ”

Seeing that Lu Jin's momentum is so fierce, I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult to let him speak again, so I can only take a step back and persuade him to leave.

Lu Zhen also knew that his identity was not enough, so he didn't entangle anymore, just saluted and retreated. It's just that this performance has made everyone firmly remember this brave guy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a madman county commander.

Subsequently, Lin Mi, the Imperial Emperor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also slapped the hall and shouted: "Bring someone to commit Liu Xun!" "That's what got the case back on track.

There were no shackles to mop the floor, and there was not even anyone to hold him, so Guangning Bo Liu Xun walked up to the hall alone. However, he no longer wears a unicorn costume that symbolizes his status, and he looks much older than he did two days ago......
