Chapter 21: The Book of the Criminal Department (I)

After the dispersal of the court the next day, He Ran came to Dazaifu again,

Su Ge saw that he had brought two jars of wine, and said coldly: "What does this mean, I'm afraid that I, Dazaifu, don't have wine for you to drink." ”

He Ran said: "This altar is given to you by the eldest princess, rewarding you for your loyalty, I just went to the palace, the king heard about yesterday's incident and asked me to bring you a jar of wine, praise you for your general knowledge, the Su family is left with his brother and sister, and now they are all given wine to you, your face is big enough." ”

Hearing this, Su Ge hurriedly got up and bowed to the two jars of wine,

He Ran smiled and asked, "Shall we drink these two jars of wine, or do you put them away." ”

Sugo looked at him and sighed without speaking, still frowning after sitting down,

He Ran took the jar of wine given by the eldest princess and said, "Then the little brother will make his own decisions." As he spoke, he raised his hand to pat the mud seal,

"No." Sugo hurriedly shouted,

He Ran ignored it, opened his hand, and said: "Okay, don't be reluctant, the altar given by the king can be enshrined if you are willing to offer, the eldest princess will drink it, when do you need the eldest princess to give it to you again, just tell me, I dare not say more, I will give it to me from ten altars and eight altars." ”

Su Ge couldn't cry and laughed, and scolded: "You are really a bastard at home, you don't know the etiquette and don't know the awe, how can you set an example for a hundred officials." ”

He Ran cleaned up the mud seal, rolled his eyes and said: "Don't be finished, just scold a few words, I'm still angry, it's not just over when you raise the eldest princess to press me, I will get this account back sooner or later." ”

Su Ge shook his head, helpless against his child's play attitude, eased his expression, and said: "Brother Xian, you are the son-in-law of the Su family, I am the servant of the Su family, we are all dedicated to the good of the Su family, I have seriously thought about your point of view, although it makes sense, but after all, it is not orthodox, are you ...... again"

He Ran waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "The king's jar of wine was given because of your praise for your general understanding, if you want to entangle this matter again, I have to bring this wine back to the king, I have told Pingjiang everything that should be said, there is nothing to hide, I have also relayed your words in the original, if you can't believe me, you can go to the palace now and tell him yourself." ”

Sugo sighed bitterly,

He Ran persuaded: "Brother, the country belongs to the Su family, and the brothers and sisters of the Su family don't care anymore, why are you so persistent, how can the younger brother harm the Su family as the son-in-law of the Su family, how can you still not understand this truth." ”

"But you are obviously ......" Su Ge didn't want to say any more, exhaled heavily, and said: "Drinking and drinking, I don't care, I can't care about it." ”

He Ran filled a bottle of wine, got up and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "That's right, not only you can't control this kind of thing, but I can't control it either." ”

Su Ge took the wine bottle and looked at him with a frown, wondering what he meant.

He Ran squatted down and said: "As soon as the new deal comes out, the wisdom of the people will be opened, the heart of self-determination affairs will flourish, and the people will sooner or later put forward the requirements of elected officials, maybe it will be three or five years, or ten or eight years, if we are effective in supervising officials, maybe it will drag on for decades or hundreds of years, but this kind of requirement will inevitably arise after all, which no one can stop, rather than being forced to change by the people at that time, it is better for us to put forward it ourselves as soon as possible, now is the chaotic times of constant war, we need the help of the people too much." , don't you understand my style of acting, since you have given it, you must give enough weight, so that the people can get the benefits that they never dreamed of, be grateful, and defend the country with all their hearts, and support the king,

Su Ge raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle, and said: "Your eloquence is famous all over the world, I can't talk about you, I don't care about this matter, you can do whatever you like, you get up, what the dignified military master squats into." ”

He Ran pulled his seat over, sat opposite him, and filled him with wine, before he said: "You don't care, the eldest princess said yesterday that you can't quit the position of Dazai, and I haven't been so interested in taking care of government affairs, so ah, you will have to take care of it in the future." ”

Su Ge snorted and said, "I can't control it, and I don't want to care about it." ”

He Ran raised his eyebrows, revealing a disdainful expression, and said: "You are embarrassed to say this, you have forced me to be this military advisor for so many years, I haven't said anything less if I can't control it, I don't want to take care of it, when was it not you who took the lead in forcing me, have you ever thought about my mood at the time, now you don't care if you want to, blame others and treat yourself leniently, you still have the face to say that I can't be an example for a hundred officials, I advise you to look at your own virtue first." ”

Su Ge was choked and had nothing to say, and when he raised his head, he drank the wine dry,

"Drink it slowly, this is the wine given by the eldest princess." He Ran said in a weird way and gave him a full bottle of wine,

Su Ge picked up the wine bottle and looked like he was going to drink it all again, but suddenly put it down again, frowned, and said: "You have to tell Xu Tong well when you go back, don't provoke his temperament, he is not as easy to talk as I am." ”

He Ran took a shallow sip of his wine bottle, and said slowly: "It's your business, I'm too lazy to talk to him." ”

"You." Sugo looked at him dissatisfied,

He Ran smiled and said: "Brother, let's think about how to convince him, and when you think about it, the knots in your heart will be untied by yourself, and he will listen to you more when it comes to loyally protecting the Lord, if you can't convince him, he won't be able to listen to my words, if you really can't convince him, then I can only ask Pingjiang to issue an order to remove him from the position of a general, and then reinstate him when he understands." ”

Su Ge waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Let's go, let's go, don't bother me here." ”

He Ran raised the wine bottle with a hippie smile and said, "Then I will first wish my brother success in persuasion, and when I think of a good speech, I will go and talk to the king and transfer him back." ”

Sugo turned his head to the side, too lazy to look at him,

He Ran drank the bottle of wine with taste, got up and walked out step by step, and turned his head and said: "You persuaded Xu Tong, and the account between the two of us will be written off, otherwise I will disturb you with a bad trick." ”

Su Ge squinted his eyes and frowned as he walked out of the lobby with an indescribable expression, and this posture was maintained for a while before he shook his head helplessly, looking at the two jars of wine for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking,

After getting Su Ge, He Ran and Zhuyin quickly formulated a set of election plans, and they first sent several propaganda teams to Xuanding City to explain to the people, and at the same time taught the basic common sense of being an official to those who were interested in running for office.

He Ran knew very well in his heart that this kind of preparation in advance must be full and detailed, and it would backfire if he was in a hurry, so he turned his energy to the Criminal Department, compared to other things, the people value fairness and justice more, and often the proper handling of a case will directly affect the hearts of the people, especially cases involving power.

Shangshu Tian Lu of the Criminal Department was originally the head of the Criminal Division, and when he reformed the official system, he naturally became the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and he was also familiar with He Ran.

He Ran was sipping tea, while very casually flipping through those files, after drinking a cup of tea, his hand also stopped, this case file is about a wealthy merchant in Dongzhicheng who wants to buy a house on the west side of the shop, the two sides disagree when negotiating, the owner of the house Bai Er and his brother Bai Da hurt people, a rich merchant was killed, and two servants were seriously injured,

Tian Lu leaned over and glanced at the case file and explained: "The lower officials have sent someone to verify this case, the report of Dongzhicheng is true, and the human and material evidence is complete. ”

He Ran pondered for a moment and said, "It's been less than a year since the implementation of the new policy in Dongzhi City. ”

Tian Lu replied, "Yes, they are the latest in this area. ”

He Ran put the case file aside and said, "I want to ask the people involved in the case to come to the Criminal Department, and I want to ask again." ”

Tian Lu hurriedly ordered to go down,

He Ran looked at three cases and selected three cases and ordered people to take the people involved in the case to the Criminal Department for trial, and then began to check the cases near Mingzhong City, and randomly selected a few cases and ordered them to be arraigned one by one the day after the next day.

After the arrangement was completed, He Ran waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and then said to Tian Lu with a smile: "Lord Tian, do you know the main purpose of my coming to the Criminal Department to investigate the case. ”

Tian Lu replied respectfully: "The lower official dared to guess that the military division was to investigate whether the personnel of the Criminal Department had committed fraud. ”

He Ran nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, some cases are intricate, the criminals are superb, it is impossible to break all the cases clearly, and there are occasional wrong cases, but if the case-handling personnel deliberately make a mistake, it is another matter, so many cases I don't have the energy to review them one by one, I can only pick a few to see the situation, and have a little understanding of the situation of the officials of the Criminal Department, this is originally the duty of adults, so it can also be said that the main thing I came to investigate this time is you, I am very straightforward, I hope adults don't mind." ”

Tian Lu nodded and said: "The king entrusts the government to the military advisor and the three adults, and the military advisor supervises the subordinate officials to be loyal to the king, and the duty should be so, and the outspoken words show more open-mindedness, and it is also a trust in the subordinate officials." ”

"Okay." He Ran ordered Hong Qian to put away the selected case files, "For the sake of fairness, I will send someone from the Supervision Department to re-investigate these cases, you can object." ”

Tian Lu said with a smile: "Only in this way can it be fair, and the lower officials have no objections." ”

He Ran said to Hong: "Send it to Master Kou of the Supervision Department secretly, and ask him to organize capable personnel to re-investigate these cases, and report to me at any time if there is anything suspicious." ”

After the red man left, He Ran said to Zhong Zheng: "You also go down first, and I will say a few words to Lord Tian alone." ”

When Zhong Zheng walked out of the lobby, He Ran pointed to the front of a few cases and said, "My lord pulled over the seat to speak." ”

Tian Lu didn't know what confidential words he was going to say and needed to be so cautious, so he hurriedly pulled the seat and sat across from him.
