Chapter 61 Dali Temple (I)
Dali Temple
Xu Fu Peixi and his party walked on Suzaku Street with such a swagger.
At the time of curfew, there are no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally there are a few drunkards who can't find their way home. simply take the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed.
If this is placed in normal times, there will be "kind-hearted" street patrol Wuhou to be uniformly placed and placed. Throw it on both sides of the wall so as not to affect people's travel the next day.
Of course, a meal is inevitable, who let you touch the "curfew". Don't underestimate the power of "curfews", if in wartime, or when there is an emergency. If you violate the curfew, you will easily be cut by a big knife and the "six and a half catties" used for eating and drinking.
For example, the bloody night of the brothers' wall two years ago. Qujiangfang alone has killed a lot of people. Many people have been innocently involved and have lost their lives. I heard that there are still many traces of knives and axes on the stone road of Qujiangfang, which are all left by drunk drunkards after their heads were cut off.
The swords and swords of that day, accompanied by the sky-high fire, made many people remember it vividly.
The Wuhou who patrols the streets probably received some order, and the Wuhou who usually wanders around like ghosts. Tonight, I didn't meet one.
It stands to reason that it is windy and rainy, and bad weather is the most "busy" time for the Wuhous, because in addition to checking the "potential safety hazards" and reminding everyone to prevent wind and rain, we must also beware of those thieves who steal and pick locks and fish in troubled waters. But today, I didn't meet any of them on the way from Qujiangfang to Dali Temple. The high-tech and weird old man who guarded the door, who had been in the heavy rain, the little monk in white who did not stick to his body, coupled with the secret guards of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and the deliberate avoidance of the Wuhou patrolling the streets, made Pei Xi go to the "courtyard" out of thin air to have a little awe?
Half an hour later, the "corpse transport team" of the Hundred Cavalry Division arrived safely at Dali Temple.
Responsible for the handover and acceptance is Chen Bi'an, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Observatory are collectively known as the three divisions, and the three divisions that people talked about later generally refer to these three divisions. Of course, only officials of a certain status who have committed quite serious crimes are "eligible" to enjoy the high-level trial of the three divisions. Ordinary people can't reach such specifications.
Among the three divisions, the Criminal Department is responsible for interrogation, investigation, and sentencing. In principle, Dali Temple is only responsible for reviewing and reviewing the trial results of the Criminal Department. In order to prevent the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. But Dali Temple also enjoys the power of investigation and supervision in major cases, and does not need to report to the Criminal Department. Although Dali Siqing is slightly lower than the criminal department Shangshu in terms of grade, it is subordinate to the third grade. However, in terms of actual status, it is not necessarily lower than that of the Criminal Department. From a private point of view, Dali Temple has more trust from those in power than the Criminal Department.
The senior officials of Dali Temple generally have a Qing person, from the three products; Shaoqing two, from the fifth grade. And Chen Bi'an is one of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who is in charge of the "detailed punishment".
Speaking of which, this Chen Bi'an's promotion path can also be regarded as a legend.
On the third day after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Chen Bi'an entered Dali Temple with a letter of recommendation from the military boss and became an ordinary "Zhanggu".
Then in more than two years, Chen Bi'an personally handled many major cases. Among them are the "Yanjun Wang Luo Yimou Rebellion Case" and the "Jingcheng Tunliang Case" a few days ago.
Legend has it that Chen Bi'an of Dali Temple started a case, but his hands were hard and black-hearted, and he didn't get in on oil and salt.
There are indeed examples in this, Luo Yi's two sons who survived the chaos were escorted to Beijing by Wei Chi Jingde for trial. All the investigations, concluded, trials, and reviews of all cases were handled by Chen Bi'an. Even Dali Siqing, Pengcheng Gong Liu Dewei had no way to intervene, and later the last blood of the rebel Luo Yi was sent to the guillotine by Chen Bi'an himself. At this point, the Luo Yi family, the king of Yanjun in Youzhou, who was previously famous and majestic in Mobei, was killed and wiped out, and his children and grandchildren were cut off.
In fact, at that time, Li Shimin was ready to leave a "seed" for the Lao Luo family in line with the principle of compassion and compassion, and let go of one of the young children.
But Chen Bi'an disagreed, and repeatedly went to the book, and the content of the book was basically the same every time. "It is not difficult to legislate for major events in the world, but it is difficult to enforce the law. The law is established, and if there is a crime, it will be punished; Order, only do not return" just like these two sentences of the twist and turn for more than a month. In the end, after several twists and turns, he forced to resist the pressure from up and down, and beheaded all the men of Luo Yi's family.
Not to mention that because of the "grain storage case", the giant businessmen who are still living in the prison of the Criminal Department are now rich and rich.
Chen Bi'an, who has been promoted four times in two years, and the blood in his hands has not dried, can sit firmly in the second position of Dali Temple. I have to say that it has a lot to do with his strong style of not being afraid of the powerful and insisting on the law, if it weren't for the excessive killing, the folk reputation would not be good. I'm afraid that I can get a good reputation like Wei Zheng.
Chen Bi'an received the order before dinner, so he has been waiting in the gatehouse of Dali Temple to take over the "prisoner". Chen Bi'an sat in the gatehouse, and the doorman in the gatehouse naturally didn't dare to sit. Just filled a pot of hot tea as instructed. Then he left the door and waited.
After leaving the army for more than two years, Chen Bi'an still maintains good habits in the military camp. He sat upright, like a statue carved out of stone. It's not the kind of clay Bodhisattva in the temple, but the angry-eyed King Kong on Maiji Mountain.
The tea soup was changed three times, but it still didn't move.
"Knock knock!"
Chen Bi'an, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity. Perhaps today's heavy rain has made a significant change in the temperature both indoors and outdoors. Chen Bi'an's breath was somewhat atomized.
"Come in!"
A small official dressed in soap stepped forward quickly and whispered a report.
"My lord, the people of the Hundred Horsemen, have arrived!"
Chen Bi'an got up and walked out the door.
In the backyard of Dali Temple, Xu Fu and his party are waiting for the handover.
"Boss, why do you say we want to hand people over to Dali Temple? According to the rules, shouldn't this investigation and investigation be under the control of the Criminal Department? ”
In the interval between the others, Pei Xigo began to "question and attack" Xu Fu again.
It had just passed half an hour since Xu Fu's ban order, plus a cup of tea.
Fortunately, Xu Fu seems to have become accustomed to such things. In addition, there are outsiders here, and it is not good to reprimand their brothers. also patiently answered Peixi's question.
In the final analysis, the most pleasing thing to look at by Xu Fu of this hundred horsemen is this brother Pei Xi, who often rambles in his ears. What's more, it's a brother who has saved his life several times.
"We will do what the Lord's decree asks. As for why, that's not something we should be thinking about. ”
Seeing that the commander couldn't get the answer he wanted, Peixi had to shut up.
Chen Bi'an came to the backyard with one of his subordinates and a servant.
Xu Fu did not step forward to greet him. Instead, he stayed in place, waiting for Chen Bi'an to come to see him.
"Chen Bi'an, meet again. If it weren't for your profession, sometimes I really didn't want to see you! ”
Xu Fu's words were very polite.
"You're thinking too much!"
Chen Bi'an, who had a heroic face, still had a dead face and no expression. Indifferent to Xu Fu's provocation.
And he said such a sentence from beginning to end, which made Xu Fu feel a sense of powerlessness that his punch was missed.
"Dead face!"
The rest of the work is simpler. He began to carefully examine each sentence of the corpse in order, filling in the corpse grid.
The whole process took about two hours. After handing over the corpse to Chen Bi'an, Chen Bi'an did not take it.
The next scene made many people in the Baiqi Division unforgettable for life, and they finally understood why the outside world called Chen Bi'an "villain".
