"Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that Ma Yushi is fierce or auspicious today?"

"Of course it's a big murderer, Ma Yushi and Zuo Yushi have been enemies for many years, and this case was decided by those people in the cabinet, and Ma Yushi is estimated to be hanging this time."

"I don't think so, Lord Zuo Yushi has always had a clear distinction between public and private, this time he shouldn't declare his personal vendetta, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on for so long, and Ma Yushi will turn evil into good fortune this time."

……

Different from the past, the inspectors of the imperial historians rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate early today, and gathered in groups in the courtyard to discuss in a low voice, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

This morning, Li Yuntian will meet with officials from the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to try the case of Ma An's embezzlement of ink, and the inspectors and historians will wait and see the outcome of this case.

Obviously, Ma An's fate is related to the future trend of the situation in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and will have a serious impact on the power structure of the Cabinet and the six ministries in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As an old man who has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than ten years, who Ma An is, those old-fashioned imperial histories are clear, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that he is corrupt, not to mention the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who usually has no personal contacts with the officials of the yamen of the major ministries and courtyards in the capital?

Moreover, Ma An was also pointed out that the corrupt wealth was as high as 10,000 taels, which clearly showed that Niu Fei, who had a gap with Ma An, was deliberately framed.

If Ma An is convicted for this, then the overseers of the Six Ministries camp will be in danger, and they will not be sure when it will be their turn to be unlucky, and it will also lead to a fierce conflict between the cabinet and the Six Ministries in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although since Li Yuntian's arrival, the imperial history of the cabinet camp Gu Zuobu has stopped, which has made it rare for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to restore its former calm, and the tense atmosphere has been greatly eased.

However, because Li Yuntian was regarded as a member of the cabinet camp, the inspectors of the six camps still did not dare to be careless and suffered greater psychological pressure.

Compared with Gu Zuo, the supervising imperial historians of the six camps are even more reluctant to face such a difficult opponent as Li Yuntian, everyone has seen the sharpness of Li Yuntian's trial, the process is like a pool of water, clean and neat, without flaws, convincing, if it falls into Li Yuntian's hands, then there is no way out.

Therefore, Li Yuntian's attitude towards Ma An today is very important, and whether it is open or thunderous has become the focus of attention of the imperial historians.

"Lord Zuo Du Yushi is here." Just as the imperial historians were talking there, one of the imperial historians walked quickly into the courtyard.

This made the imperial history of the scene rush to the outside of the courtyard in an uproar, only to see more than a dozen cavalry surrounded by a four-wheeled carriage slowly driving and stopping at the gate.

When the car door opened, everyone realized that Li Yuntian was not coming alone, and Qin Yue, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Fan Min, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, also got out of the carriage.

It turned out that Li Yuntian met Qin Yue and Fan Min's official sedan chair on the road, so he invited the two to ride with him.

The carriage of the four-wheeled carriage has a lot of space, with two rows of seats facing each other, front and rear, and each row can seat two people, so Qin Yue and Fan Min are still spacious after entering.

Qin Yue can be said to be Li Yuntian's old acquaintance, a heavyweight in the cabinet camp, when Li Yuntian was framed by Cui Hui, he went to Jiujiang Mansion in Jiangxi Province with Chen Tianxun and Luo Qing, the right attendant of the Criminal Department at that time.

As for Fan Min, Li Yuntian was not familiar with him, after the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, Qin Yongxiang, the former left attendant of the Criminal Department, was implicated and dismissed, and Luo Qing, who was the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was promoted to the left attendant of the Criminal Department, while Fan Min was transferred from the local political envoy to the capital to take over as the right attendant of the Criminal Department.

Because Li Yuntian then went to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion soon after, he did not have any friendship with Fan Min.

Fan Min is a member of the Six Ministries camp, so this can also reassure the inspectors of the Six Ministries in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and can also maximize the satisfaction of the cabinet and the six ministries with the outcome of the trial of Ma An's case.

Qin Yue and Fan Min were both riding in a four-wheeled carriage for the first time, and they were very interested in it, and they didn't expect that the four-wheeled carriage would be so comfortable and stable to ride, which was completely different from the feeling of sitting in a sedan chair and a two-wheeled carriage.

With the level of Qin Yue and Fan Min, they are naturally qualified to buy a four-wheeled carriage to ride, and now that the two of them have tried it themselves, they really feel that it is much more convenient than taking a sedan chair, coupled with Li Yuntian's vigorous promotion, so the two decided to buy a ride, no matter how it is also a symbol of identity and status.

It is worth mentioning that even the same type of license plate number has another mystery in it.

Generally speaking, among the license plates of royal nobles, imperial relatives and civil and military officials, the license plate number in front of the license plate is called the duty license plate, that is to say, it corresponds to the official position of the license plate holder, and the license plate in the back is the license plate of the family members to which they belong, which are obtained on a first-come, first-served basis.

Taking Xungui as an example, the license plate starts with "B", and the license plate of the king with a different surname is "B 10000", of which the license plate within the number segment of "B 10900" belongs to the kings with different surnames, and the license plate with numbers other than "B 10900" belongs to the family members of the kings with different surnames.

The license plate of the national prince is the number of "B 20000", of which the license plate of the number section within "B 20900" belongs to the national prince, and the license plate other than "B 20900" belongs to the family members of the national prince.

Hou Ye's license plate is "B 30000" segment, of which the license plate within "B 30900" belongs to Hou Ye, and the license plate other than "B 30900" belongs to Hou Ye's family.

The number plate of the earl is "B 40000", of which the license plate within the number "B 40900" belongs to the earls, and the license plate other than "B 40900" belongs to the earl's family.

Although Li Yuntian is the new marquis, his title is hereditary, so his status is before those marquis who will lose his title after only a few generations, so he ranks 35th among the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, so the license plate is "B 30935", although the license plate number looks very large, in fact, it has demonstrated its prominent status and power.

Due to the use of this kind of informational license plate number, the identity of the passenger is clear at a glance, clearly highlighting its identity and status, and it will naturally be welcomed by those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital.

It is precisely because the four-wheeled carriage and license plate have a specific customization that Li Yuntian did not just sell it and left it alone, he specially set up an organization to manage the affairs of the carriage and license plate in the Jiangwutang -- the Jiangwutang Carriage and Horse Division.

The four-wheeled carriage must be equipped with a license plate if it wants to go on the road, and the license plate must be reviewed by the Jiangwutang Carriage and Horse Division every year, and a certain amount of carriage and horse fees must be paid.

The weight of the four-wheeled carriage is much heavier than that of the two-wheeled carriage, and the damage to the road surface is also greater than that of the two-wheeled carriage, so Li Yuntian specially levies a fee for carriages and horses to repair the road surface.

Since repairing bridges and paving roads is the business of the Ministry of Industry, Li Yuntian is ready to hand over half of the carriage and horse fees to the Ministry of Industry, and it is agreed that the road surface of the two capitals, the provincial capitals, and some prosperous cities will be repaired by the Jiangwutang Carriage and Horse Division, and the road surface in the rest of the places will be repaired by the Ministry of Industry.

In this way, the interests of the Ministry of Industry were tied to the carriage and horse fees by Li Yuntian, which invisibly promoted the relationship between Jiangwutang and the Ministry of Industry, so as to avoid the Ministry of Industry looking for trouble.

If someone does not check the license plate every year, then they will be banned from the road, which means that even if they buy a four-wheeled carriage, they can only be locked up at home, and if they go on the road without a license, they will be severely fined.

"Master Lee."

"Lord Qin."

"Lord Fan."

……

As Li Yuntian, Qin Yue, and Fan Min stepped out of the carriage, the imperial historians guarding the door stepped forward to greet each other, and the imperial historians of the six camps couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts when they saw Fan Min, it was obvious that Fan Min would not let Ma An be framed.

"Two adults, please." Li Yuntian glanced around at the imperial history at the scene, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Yue and Fan Min.

"Master Li, you are the chief judge, please first." Qin Yue and Fan Min did not move, but invariably stretched out their hands to ask Li Yuntian to go first, although Li Yuntian is now hearing the case together as the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but after all, he is the town of the Ming Dynasty, and the two of them naturally have to be polite in this kind of public place.

Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, he didn't shirk and walked into the courtyard surrounded by the surrounding imperial historians.

Since Li Yuntian was going to conduct a triage of the three law divisions in the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, the three officials of the Imperial Palace, Gu Zuo, the left imperial historian, Wang Yucheng, the right imperial historian, and Chen Tianxun, the left deputy imperial historian, all stayed in the yamen to observe today.

Li Yuntian, Qin Yue, and Fan Min first visited Gu Zuo, Wang Yucheng, and Chen Tianxun, and then everyone went to the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate together, and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate gathered outside the lobby, stretching their heads and waiting for the trial to begin.

Although they are both three law divisions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple rarely hold a court to hear cases, and the three law divisions usually hold a trial in the lobby of the criminal department.

However, because Ma An was supervising the imperial history, and the person who investigated him was Niu Fei, who was also supervising the imperial history, his case trial was selected by Li Yuntian in the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Someone, take Guangxi Dao to supervise Yu Shi Ma'an!" Li Yuntian sat directly behind the desk in the lobby, with Qin Yue and Fan Min on both sides, he first gestured to Gu Zuo, Wang Yucheng and Chen Tianxun who were sitting on both sides of the hall, and then his face turned pale, stretched out his hand and patted the shocking wood, and shouted loudly.

"Xiaguan has seen all the adults." Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Ma An, who was neatly dressed, was brought in by several Jinyi Guard captains, bowed to Li Yuntian and the others, and bowed.

Ma An was suddenly taken away by Jinyiwei's people two days ago, which caused a lot of waves in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because there had been calm in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before, and Li Yuntian had never looked for Ma An since he took over Ma An's case, as if he had forgotten about this matter, no one would have thought that Li Yuntian unexpectedly let Jinyiwei arrest Ma An when he was on vacation.

However, Ma An's mental outlook looks very good, and it seems that he has not been wronged in the edict of Beizhen Fusi.

"Ma Yushi, this official asked you, have you accepted a huge bribe from others?" Li Yuntian looked at Ma An seriously and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Yushi, the subordinate officials are dedicated to their duties, and they dare not have the slightest idea of non-centricity." How could Ma An admit that he had received a few calligraphy and paintings from others at this time, otherwise it would be all over, so he replied sternly when he heard the words.

"Ma Yushi, think about it again, did you accept bribes?" Li Yuntian stared at Ma An and asked quietly.

"Lord Zuo Du Yushi, the lower officials remember it clearly, and they have never accepted bribes." Ma An replied without thinking.

He knew very well that except for those who lacked brains, no one dared to spread out the matter of Tan Jing and Bing Jing on the table, otherwise it would be a public outrage, so as long as he insisted that the calligraphy and paintings he collected were imitations bought from the old market, then no one could help him.

The reason why Ma An is confident is entirely because of Li Yuntian's attitude, although Li Yuntian only saw him on the first day he returned to the Imperial Procuratorate, and the two never had contact in private, but when he confessed to Li Yuntian that after receiving a few calligraphy and paintings, Li Yuntian was very calm and did not pursue his intentions, plus he received preferential treatment in the edict prison, so he had already guessed that Li Yuntian would not embarrass him, so he had confidence.

After hearing Ma An's bold words, the supervising imperial historians outside the lobby couldn't help but stir and whispered there.
