Chapter 502: Dengwen Drum Sounds

In fact, if Peng Ge Lao wants to solve the matter of the Lu family, it couldn't be simpler, as long as he talks to Lu Ge Lao about this matter, Lu Ge Lao will naturally ask Li You to release him, and this is a successful end. The net, which is an inconsequential trivial matter, is naturally to give face to each other.

However, Peng Ge was stimulated by a villain many times, and this time it seemed that if he wanted to take the unusual path and complicate things, the consequences would be unpredictable.

When he got up in the morning, Li Youshang was still immersed in a faint joy, and said a few words to the housekeeper Li Si, and sent more maids to Aunt Ma.

After having breakfast at will, Master Li was about to go out to the office, but he saw Cheng Yu, the eldest brother of the Cheng family, waiting in the gatehouse. Li Youqi said: "If you don't enter the hall, why are you waiting here?" Let outsiders look at it, only to say that I am rude to my relatives. ”

Cheng Yu saluted: "I happened to walk here, and when I saw that I was going out, I didn't have to bother to enter the house, and it was convenient to just say a few words here." ”

"What the hell is going on? I saw it yesterday, but today I came to look for it early. ”

Uncle Cheng replied: "I chatted with the cheap last night, and I learned that the Lu family secretly had a friendship with the old Peng Ge in the court, and often cited it as help. I was afraid that I would mistake my virtuous brother, so I hurriedly came to inform me this morning,"

How did you get involved with Peng Gelao? Li You was quite surprised, he really didn't expect that the backer of the Lu family was the rival Peng Ge Lao. Then he asked, "You didn't mention it yesterday, so what is the reason for telling me at this time?" ”

"I really don't know yesterday, even if there is a guess and where to do it accurately, all shrewd businessmen, who are willing to show off at will, their relatives may not know. It wasn't until last night that my lady confided the truth. I didn't expect her to know the story. ”

Li You suddenly realized that the giant businessmen in the north, especially in the capital, are different from the south, that is, they are low-key and cautious, and they don't like publicity.

Think about the atmosphere of Yangzhou salt merchants, they are all competing, extravagant and ostentatious, and the golden million has his son-in-law Li You, and he almost can't wait for the entire Jiangzuo to know. Let's take a look at the big businesses in Beijing. It can be called cautious, the hole cards are hidden and tucked, and even the in-laws are not easy to show the details. Compare the two. The difference in behavior is too stark.

I see. Li You himself is also a southerner, and he has lived in the capital for more than half a year, and he has never had an intuitive feeling in this regard. Today, I just got a little bit of it.

This situation is definitely not because the giant merchants in Beijing do not have as much silver as the salt merchants in Yangzhou, even if there is a difference of a few points, it is not a decisive factor. After all, Jingshi is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it is easily affected, and the shopping mall is also contaminated with the habits of officialdom, so it can't help but make big merchants act carelessly.

For example, a few years ago, the Cheng family was not in the limelight, but only collided with the powerful. As a result, in the blink of an eye, his family was confiscated and recharged. Holding his own backer to swagger indiscriminately, unless the backer is an emperor that no one can abolish, otherwise I am afraid that the headliner will rot first.

I also remembered that Uncle Cheng hid Li You's son-in-law from outsiders, on the one hand, he was ashamed of his daughter as a concubine; On the other hand, it is not that he eats a trench and grows wise. I want to keep it as a hole card at a critical moment.

But this Cheng Lu is very interesting... Li You couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Uncle Cheng. That Cheng Lu is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, about the details of the Lu family, she kept silent during the day yesterday, and did not tell each other until yesterday evening, obviously on purpose. With such a wife, there may be some demon moths in the future.

Because of talking to Cheng Yu. Master Li left a little late, and it was late to arrive at the Yamen. When he entered the alley and was about to reach the yamen, he saw three or five people wandering through the small window, and he felt rare in his heart.

This alley is a dead end with no way out, since the original Jinyi Wei Nanbei Town Fu Si Office and the Imperial Prison were abandoned, there are usually no people. Since the opening of his new yamen, there has been some movement, and it is the first time for outsiders to see him today. ..., Master Li entered the door, turned into the courtyard again, and sat down in the hall, and Master Cui, who had arrived first, came in and reported: "The proprietor! Earlier today, there were eight cases handed over by various soldiers and horses! ”

Li You suddenly understood why someone was wandering outside the yamen. It turned out that there was a lawsuit that fell to him, so naturally there were all kinds of people who came to hear about it, but I am afraid that there will be more in the future.

Master Cui was about to further report the details, but heard the proprietor ask, "Which soldiers and horses were transferred here?" ”

This is what the proprietor really cares about, Master Cui quickly replied: "There are three places except for Zhongcheng and Nancheng. ”

It's these two again... Master Li bowed his head slightly, and motioned for Master Cui to continue.

"There are three kinds of cases: assault, robbery, and adultery, all of which have been tried by the imperial history of each city patrol, and the relevant people and criminals have all submitted their confessions and judgments here, only to be reviewed by the proprietor."

Li You thought about it for a moment, the capital is so big, how can there be only these few cases, it is about a trivial small case that has been tried by the Imperial History of the Patrol City, and it will be handled by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division itself. Only the cases that were slightly heavier and needed to be transferred to the Criminal Department were originally transferred, so this time I chose a few to send them to myself first.

The yamen is newly opened, and everything is the time to establish rules, and others may not have the intention of tempting it, which is called throwing stones and asking for directions. Thinking of this, Master Li asked, "Are there no serious cases such as human lives and robbers?" ”

"Nope." Master Cui said. In the laws of the national dynasty, human life and robbers are serious crimes, so Lord Li has this question.

In this way, Li You made an order, "In the future, all cases of human life and robbers will be transferred to the Criminal Department after trial." As for human lives and robbers, cases like this today will be reviewed by this court, but only the details will be reported to the criminal department, and the offenders and pleadings will be left in this court, and finally this court will ask the Son of Heaven to carry out the sentence. ”

Master Cui is very familiar with the Fasi, and he understands it as soon as he hears it. The proprietor's meaning is to turn this Admiral's Five Cities Imperial History Yamen into a final judgment yamen for cases other than human life and robbers in the capital.

The original system was that the Imperial History of the Five Cities Procuratorate was transferred to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department asked the Son of Heaven to make a request, but now it has become the Five Cities Transfer General Hospital, Master Li, to control the Five Cities Procuratorate, so it is called the General Court, and the General Court informs the Criminal Department for the record, and directly asks the Son of Heaven.

As a matter of fact, Master Li's instructions to submit a detailed official document to the Criminal Department are estimated to be only a formality, and to leave a few passable faΓ§ades with the Criminal Department, so as not to be attacked and arbitrarily changed into a law.

Among the three law divisions, the Dali Temple, which is responsible for the review, is now the most vulnerable, almost becoming a rubber stamp. There is a division of labor between the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, and each has its own strengths, but when it comes to its power in the imperial court, it is obvious that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is stronger.

Although Li You's general court is lower than the grade of the criminal department, he has the official title of the imperial envoy of the right side of the inspection school, and he is a relatively high-level outsider in the metropolitan procuratorate. Therefore, in the rules of officialdom, he is barely qualified to re-run the division of judicial authority with the Criminal Department, so as not to be regarded as arrogant.

After explaining the official business, Li You remembered Lu Shangzhi again.

Arresting this person into the yamen and detaining him after being beaten up, on the one hand, is to make a name for himself, open a sacrificial flag, and find face by the way, otherwise it would be a laughing stock to let such a small pawn show his teeth and claws in front of him Lord Li, and not retaliate back. I also want to warn those who are potential to dare to fight Cheng Xiaoniang's idea, yesterday there was Lu Shangzhi, and tomorrow there may be Zhang Shangzhi and Wang Shangzhi and the like.

On the other hand, if it was true that there was an element of mutual conflict within the Lu family, as he had guessed, then Master Li would be like a shark that smelled blood. For Li You, who is interested in creating a ticket number foundation in this time and space, the Lu family's account bureau is quite useful, and it is almost impossible to blatantly embezzle it, but it can be borrowed from chickens to lay eggs and let it be used as a stepping stone for primitive accumulation. ..., it's just that how to use this opportunity and how to intervene in the infighting of the Lu family, Li You has not yet planned carefully, and is still thinking about it, so Lu Shangzhi can only be locked up first.

And Li You also has a layer of consideration, that is, to use static braking to hold on to Lu Shangzhi, so as to observe the movements of all parties and look for opportunities to take advantage of.

For several days after that, the Admiral Wucheng Yamen wrote down the details of the cases received every day and sent them to the relevant clearance department of the Criminal Department. As for the pleadings and criminals, they are all left to digest by themselves, and they are not handed over to the criminal department, unless they meet the standards for serious crimes.

This has caused a lot of criticism in the thirteen divisions of the Criminal Department, if it continues like this, the Criminal Department will almost take control of the criminal name in the capital, Li You sent a detailed application according to the rules on the surface, but in fact, it is simply a superficial article and a false response system! If they have any different opinions, send a document back, will Li You listen?

You must know that the subordinate officials of the criminal department rely on these to speak and oil and water in Beijing, and how many serious cases such as human lives and robbers are?

In the face of the boiling dissatisfaction with public opinion in the ministry, Lord Shang Xun of the Criminal Department was also very embarrassed.

He himself is determined to be in the temple, and he doesn't care about these specific criminal names, and among these high-ranking officials and bigwigs who have departed from low-level interests in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that no one will take the trivial matters of the capital as a priority. As for income, Xun Shang, as one of the Jiuqing, has his own Bing Jing and Tan Jing in various places, and does not rely on criminal cases.

But Xun Shang couldn't help but consider the grievances and emotions of his subordinates. If Li You is on the opposite side, things are simpler, and he will go directly to impeach Li You. However, Li You is barely on the side of the same party, and he is Lu Gelao's doorman, so he is only afraid that he will provoke outsiders to see jokes when he impeaches Li You.

I still have to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao, and then talk to Li You, Xun Shang thought.

The sixth day of the first month of October is the day of the 369th Dynasty Meeting.

There is an east-west royal road outside the Chengtian Gate, there is a gate at each end, the name of the west end is called "Chang'an Right Gate", and the name of the east end is called "Chang'an Left Gate". When a hundred officials enter the palace to go to the court, they must first enter the imperial city through these two gates, and then they can enter the palace.

The right gate of Chang'an is slightly more famous than the left gate of Chang'an, and there is a reason that there is a Dengwen drum outside the right gate of Chang'an, which is the last hope of the people of the world to redress their grievances.

In the early morning of the sixth day of October, the court counselors came out of their respective houses in the cold air and gradually converged to the right gate of Chang'an and the left gate of Chang'an. Each of the two doors has a duty official holding a directory, and the court counselor signs in here, and if there is no endorsement of the list, it is equivalent to not coming.

For a while, there was a bustle under the right gate of Chang'an, and the sound of officials greeting each other was endless, and at this moment, suddenly a dull drum sounded, disturbing the greetings of the officials of the court and staff.

In the past, the sound of drums had never been heard at such a time, and everyone was stunned, and then someone expected that it was the Dengwen drum next to it! (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
