In the Ming Dynasty, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple are collectively called the "Three Law Divisions", after the preliminary trial of the following cases, they are sent to the Criminal Department for review, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises and supervises, and sometimes participates in the trial, and the Dali Temple is the file for the review of the trial of major cases and important cases.

The role of Dali Temple in the "Three Law Division" is the last threshold, grasp the right to refute big cases and important cases, of course, if the case is approved by Dali Temple, there is no problem, it is basically the final judgment!

Of course, this is a feudal society, and the emperor has supreme power, even in the case of Dali Temple, the emperor has the power to change the outcome.

Generally, the work of correcting unjust, false and wrongful cases is done by Dali Temple, so the emperor suddenly ordered the establishment of such a capital inspection envoy yamen, which is a bit of a matter of grabbing food in his own pot.

The people of Dali Temple are also a little unwelcome to Meng Yan's arrival.

Don't wait to see it, then you have to see it, Dali Temple is not a big yamen like the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple's rank is only from the third grade, and the officials of the six departments are all two grades, which is higher and which is lower has its own distinction.

"Xiaguan Jingcheng Inspector and Jinyi Weinan Yajiang as the treasurer of the hundred households, Meng Yan see Lord Xiao!"

"Excuse me, Lord Meng came so quickly, you can't wait to come to my Dali Temple to pick people?" Xiao Weizhen said.

"The lower officials are also inviolable, please don't mind Lord Xiao!"

"Since you have brought out the holy decree, how dare this official not cooperate, come here, bring the roster, and let Lord Meng pick someone!" Xiao Weizhen greeted.

"My lord, do you really take the roster?"

"How. When the official's words are the wind in his ears? Xiao Weizhen scolded unhappily.

"Yes!"

"No need, Lord Xiao, Xiaguan has a list here, the people I want are all on it, you call them over, I'll take them away!" Meng Yan knew that picking someone was equivalent to cutting meat, and this matter was not happy in anyone's heart, Xiao Weizhen had a good impression of him, and it was estimated that he was stimulated!

"Okay. Master Meng has thoroughly explored the bottom of our Dali Temple? ”

"Laugh. Meng is also from Jinyiwei. "Treat these civil officials, they are naturally a little despised by those who dance knives and sticks, since everyone looks down on them. Then there is no need to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.

"This official is negligent!"

"Lord Xiao. Here's the list. Look at it, I want these guys! Meng Yan directly handed over the list that Sai Xiaoyu gave him.

"Wang Jing, Duan Xingping. Shen Zhiming, Ou Feng ......"

These people are not high in official positions in Dali Temple, but according to his understanding, they are all very capable people, subject to their background, there is basically no possibility of rising, the oldest Wang Jing is almost sixty years old, and the youngest is in his early thirties!

It stands to reason that even if all these people are let go, it will not have any impact on the operation of Dali Temple, and some people will be removed.

But these people are the backbone of the business, and he Xiao Weizhen is really reluctant.

"Isn't it just a temporary yamen, what does Lord Meng want so many people to do?" The corner of Xiao Weizhen's mouth twitched and asked.

"Although the yamen is temporary, if you want to do things, you must also have an appearance, so as not to be blind when you get the time, and when you use people, right?" Meng Yan Road.

"Okay, a few people on the list can give it to you, but after you run out, Master Meng will give it back to me!"

"That's natural, they are still from Dali Temple, and the lower officials are just seconded." Meng Yan smiled.

"Okay, the official will order someone to call them over and go through the secondment procedures!" Xiao Weizhen nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao!"

"You don't have to thank me, Bai Suxin's case, the official has heard a lot, if Lord Meng can thoroughly investigate the case and give justice to the deceased, the official will be pleased!" Xiao Weizhen said.

"Xia Guan must do his best to find out the truth, give an explanation to the deceased, and also to Lord Xiao!" Meng Yan solemnly hugged his fists and bent down to salute.

"Xiao Li, call the people on the list over, and say that the official has something to do with them!"

"No!"

After a while, the people on the list were called to the main hall of Dali Temple one after another, some of their eyebrows and beards were already gray, and some were wearing torn cotton jackets with large and small patches on them, which looked very shabby.

Not all the officials are well-dressed, ordinary officials are just to eat with a mouth, Dali Temple such a yamen, that is a full clear water yamen, the power is not small, but if the powerful have already done things well in front, to Dali Temple, that is, to look at the file, to find some mistakes and omissions.

There are no big cases, important cases, and they don't have any oil and water to fish.

"It's all here, I've seen Lord Meng of Jinyiwei!"

"Hello Lord Meng!" Under Xiao Weizhen's instructions, seven or eight people threw their hands at Meng Yan one after another, and some of them yawned, looking listless.

"This official ordered someone to come to you to change your position." Xiao Weizhen said.

"Lord Xiao, are you trying to dismiss us?"

"No, you are all appointed by the imperial court, how dare this official dismiss you for no reason?" Xiao Weizhen said, "See, this Lord Meng is your new boss, and you will be dispatched by Lord Meng for a period of time to work under Lord Meng!" ”

"What, my lord, we don't understand what you say?" The eldest, Wang Jing, became the speaker of the seven-person public recommendation.

"The Holy Majesty decreed the establishment of the Beijing Patrol Envoy Yamen, and this official was trusted by the Holy Lord to serve as the patrol envoy, and selected some personnel from the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and Dongchang to enrich the new Yamen, and several of you were selected by the official!" Meng Yan smiled slightly, clenched his fists and said.

"Lord Xiao, can we come back then?"

"This time it's just a temporary secondment, the case is over, of course you can come back!" Xiao Weizhen said.

"Lord Xiao is right, this is a temporary yamen, maybe it won't be long before there will be no zài, and you can come back." Meng Yan also explained.

"It's okay if we can come back, we're okay!"

"No comment. The official will handle the secondment procedures for you, which is also a certificate for your future return. Xiao Weizhen said.

"Mr. Cai, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to Dongchang with Tianxing and get all the files related to Bai Suxin's case back!" Meng Yan Road.

"Son, the will of this retrial has not yet been issued, will Dongchang hand over the file to us?" Cai Jin asked.

"Is there a difference between late and early delivery?" Meng Yan smiled and said, "If you play tricks on such a trivial matter, Dongchang will be a little angry." Then they don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"That's what Childe said. If that's the case, Dongchang said. When Cai Jin heard this, he also smiled.

East Factory, also known as East Detective Factory. Ming Yongle was established in the eighteenth year. It was a notorious secret service and secret police agency in the Ming Dynasty. Hitler's Gestapo is all left over from us Chinese.

The biggest official in Dongchang is the eunuch, and there is the second or third eunuch of China, the Bingbi eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and his official title is "Eunuch of the Official School of the Dongchang Official School, the Governor of Qincha". Abbreviated as "Admiral East Factory".

The function of the East Factory is to "visit and conspire against the evil and evil, and equalize the power with Jinyiwei".

The location of the East Factory is on the edge of Dong'an Gate, next to the Imperial Palace, from the Dali Temple, it takes a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.

Dongchang is not accessible to anyone, for ordinary people, this is no less than Jinyiwei's edict, it is a cold and cruel place.

The gate enters, is a huge archway, on the book "Baishi Liufang" four big characters, the lobby also enshrines the portrait of Yue Wumu.

Incense is offered at regular intervals every day!

It is really a great irony that a group of eunuchs who have brought disaster to the country and the people actually take Marshal Yue, who is "loyal to the country", as their idol.

The current Dongchang has not yet reached its heyday, and it is not as arrogant and domineering as it was later, but since Wang Zhen took power, Dongchang has become more and more unpleasant, fabricating charges, slandering good people, beating into tricks, and extortion has increased.

In any case, Marshal Yue is a national hero revered by Meng Yan, and when he comes to his spiritual seat, he always has to offer three incense sticks.

"Master Meng is here?"

"Who is this man?" As soon as Meng Yan turned around, he saw an unfamiliar face, but the other party said that he had a unicorn robe, a jade belt, an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, and a jade egg ring on his right hand.

"This official Cao Qin!"

"It turned out to be Lord Cao, and the next official Meng Yan gave Lord Cao a salute!" Meng Yan experienced slightly, this guy was Cao Qin, who was later executed by Ling Chi after Cao Jixiang's rebellion, his face was pale, and he looked like he was overly drunk.

"You're welcome, Lord Meng's patrol envoy is a five-grade, and this official's thousand-household is also a five-grade, and everyone is a five-grade, so there is no difference between up and down!" Cao Qin waved his hand.

"Lord Cao is polite!"

"We already know your intentions, but the factory is not in the factory now, and the person you want can give it to you, but I can't be the master of the file of Bai Suxin's case that you want, and I must wait for the factory to report before I can hand it over to you!" Cao Qin said.

"That's fine, what about the person I want?" Meng Yan nodded, he couldn't see Cao Jixiang, and it was really difficult to get the dossier.

"Come on, bring the person that Lord Meng wants!" Cao Qin clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

A group of more than a dozen people walked in from outside, Meng Yan took a look, who were these people, either they were old Long Zhong, their hair was all white, and two of them couldn't stand steadily, Luo Guo, lame, where did they find this?

"Lord Meng, these people are all elite soldiers and strong generals of our Dongchang, and they have all made great contributions to the imperial court, this Lord Xu, do you know how his foot is lame? Once again, Emperor Taizong went out hunting......"

Sure enough, they are all heroes with "great achievements", and these people are afraid that they will have no place to let go, and they will be sent to the East Factory to support the elderly, and now they are actually thrown by Cao Qin as a burden to themselves!

This Cao Qin really has him.

You can't say that these people are useless, they are all meritorious to the imperial court, if you refuse, then Cao Jixiang will turn around and join you, saying that you are disrespectful, obviously selected from the four families, but do not want the people of the East Factory, it is clearly deliberately squeezing out the East Factory.

And Bai Suxin's case was originally handled by Dongchang, and now Dongchang is sent out, obviously for personal gain, and overturns the case for Bai Suxin.

Before coming to Dongchang, Meng Yan was also mentally prepared that he would definitely be troubled, but he really couldn't guess what tricks Dongchang would make.

However, what I didn't expect was that they actually came up with such a bad trick.

I can't push it, I can only go next. Then there is another big problem, and these old guys are probably adding more trouble than helping.

"There is an old man in this family, if there is a treasure, Lord Cao, you have given me so many treasures in one go, it is really good!" Meng Yan's face did not move, but pretended to be happy.

Cao Qin was stunned, this Meng Yan's brain was funny, how could he have this expression?

"Tianxing, go and call a few cars. Let's take the baby home! Meng Yan instructed Lin Tianxingdao.

"Yes. Childe! ”

"Wait?" Cao Qin stopped.

"What's the matter, Lord Cao, is there anything else?" Meng Yan said, "Yes." Right. I forgot. I haven't gone through the handover procedures yet. ”

"No, Lord Meng, do you really want these people?"

"Yes. Of course, Lord Cao, you are really a good person, these people are too familiar with Dongchang, you say, if I serve them well, your secret is still a secret to us? Meng Yan smiled.

Cao Qin chuckled in his heart, his eyes suddenly widened bigger than a bull's eye, what Meng Yan said was true, these people have been in Dongchang for more than ten years, and they know thousands of secrets, if they really tell these secrets, it will be really troublesome.

Cao Jixiang didn't screw his head off yet, and when he thought of this, Cao Qin felt a chill in his back bones.

"Master Meng, can we discuss it, these people said that although they are heroes, they are a little old, why don't they give you another batch?"

"Change, don't change, don't change, you're a fool to be the official, Lord Cao, don't you want to regret it?" Meng Yan refused.

"Master Meng, it seems that we haven't gone through the handover procedures yet, aren't they still your people?" Cao Qin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"That's the same, why did I forget this, Lord Cao, let's hurry up and go through the formalities, it's not early this day, and I'll go back after completing the formalities!" Meng Yan said with an uncompromising look.

"Lord Meng, Lord Meng, we have something to discuss, let's discuss." As a last resort, Cao Qin really didn't dare to force force.

This Meng Yan was able to retreat under the assassination of thirty elite killers, and also killed all the other party, such a combat power, no one dared to try lightly.

Even if this is in the East Factory, where there are many masters, once it gets big, he will cause big trouble to the East Factory.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Cao, could it be that you really regret it?" Meng Yan pretended to be angry.

"Master Meng, this official is not thoughtful for a while, you are a newcomer and a new place, these people are old, and their temper is not very good, you will inevitably be uncomfortable for a while, so I will pick some young and obedient ones for you, how about it?"

"I don't know where to start with this new yamen, these old people just provide me with experience, I can't ask for it!" Meng Yan bit his mouth and said.

"Master Meng, it's not like you haven't gone through the handover procedures yet." Cao Qin smiled, this most critical step has not been completed, you Meng Yan can't come to my East Factory to rob people, right?

"Then you'll keep half of it for me?" Meng Yan thought for a moment, and said with a painful look.

"No way!"

"Then you have to leave me three, where do I need someone to town!" Meng Yan bargained.

According to Cao Qin's thoughts, it was impossible for Meng Yan to do it, but this person was recruited, Meng Yan had a necessary posture, and if there was a trouble, he would be unlucky.

"Only for two!" As soon as Cao Qin's words came out, he regretted it, but he couldn't regret it, so do you want to be cheeky?

"Deal!"

gave the two youngest of them to Meng Yan, the older he is, the more secrets he knows, this can't be given, he would rather die of old age in Dongchang.

Meng Yan is also in the middle of it, in fact, he doesn't want any of them, but in order to make Cao Qin believe in himself, these two must be insisted on, otherwise they will be put into trouble.

These old guys get it back, and they serve it well, but if they don't get sick, they have braids, it's all trouble.

Don't eat mutton, and make a fuss.

Cao Qin's brain was also hot, and he was frightened by Meng Yan's pretense, and when he came back to his senses, he understood that he had been fooled.

"Hurry up, Lord Cao, let's go through the formalities, so that we can seal it!"

"Yes, yes, Master Meng, come here!" Cao Qin was also afraid of Meng Yan's return, so he hurriedly took Meng Yan to go through the secondment procedures.

"Thank you, Lord Cao, I will invite you to drink when I turn around!"

"Be polite, polite, as long as Master Meng invites him, Cao will definitely obey!" Cao Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead and clasped his fists. (To be continued......)
