At the gate of the Criminal Department, it is heavily guarded. The high stone steps, the majestic lintel, the solemn guard of honor, and the two lions overlooking the ground all demonstrate the majesty of the highest judicial yamen of criminal law.

A few people approached timidly, looked at the official standing by the sword, and said with some trepidation: "Poor...... Master Errand, we have been wronged, we have to sue! ”

A servant glanced at them sideways, and said angrily: "Go, go, get out!" This is the Criminal Department, you and other Xiaomin's cases are also worthy of being here to fight a lawsuit? Go to your Baozheng and the lieutenant chief to mediate, or go to the county government to file a complaint. ”

A common man said in a low voice: "Master Errand, the little people are suing us for Baozheng, and the county is ...... There are people who are upright, and they don't accept our form. ”

"Get out of here, don't take the case here, this is the Criminal Department, understand? Forgive you for not understanding, get out of the way immediately, otherwise you will be told to eat the board! ”

The errand officer is very impatient, this scene in front of him happens every day, there are always some ignorant people who don't understand the law, they all come to the criminal department to deal with a big fart, thinking that they can take care of his case here, and some small people say that they want to sue the emperor and the emperor, and at first they thought it was funny, but after a long time, it only made people feel bored.

"Slow down, what are you doing here? Those who know say that we are the criminal department, and those who don't know think it is the palace of Hades! Ye Xiaotian broke out when he heard the sound, and glanced at the officials fiercely, and when the officials saw it, they fixed the door palm, and said helplessly: "My lord, this is the ...... of the criminal department."

Ye Xiaotian said: "Nonsense, I don't know if this is the Criminal Department?" Isn't the Penal Department the place where lawlessness is punished? Well? At this door, is it up to you or me, who am I? I'm the head of the criminal department, why are you talking so much nonsense, go away! ”

Several officials reluctantly stepped aside and rolled their eyes at Ye Xiaotian's back.

Ye Xiaotian greeted him with a smile and said to a few people: "Fellow countryman." What grievances do you have? ”

……

Half an hour later, Rui Chuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sat behind the public case in a daze, and the officials standing on both sides with canes lowered their heads one by one, their shoulders shrugged, and tried to hold back a smile. A group of people gathered in front of the public case and complained about their grievances.

A young man with a mole on his face said angrily: "Master Qingtian, I have been wronged! I didn't peek at her Widow Liu taking a bath, how could she accuse me of being immoral, and spread rumors everywhere to ruin my reputation! I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. Isn't that a trick on me? ”

A woman in her thirties who still has charm said: "You didn't peek? Do you dare to say you didn't peek? If you lie to death the whole family! I was in the middle of the house bathing, and I opened the little window, and when I looked up, I saw you looking outside. ”

The young man with a mole said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense? I'm going up to the tree to beat dates, who peeked at you. Lord Qingtian, there are two trees in my yard, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree, which can produce dozens of catties of jujube every year, and the jujube is crisp and sweet......"

Widow Liu intercepted: "You still say that you didn't lie? It's only been a few months. Is your jujube tree bearing fruit? ”

The young man with a mole opened his mouth and stammered: "I ...... I....... That's right! I was in a hurry, I said it wrong, my family planted loquat trees! ”

Widow Liu said, "Okay, if you have the ability, you can transplant two loquat trees with fruit to your house now." Big man. He lied, and you sent someone to see it......"

Another said: "I said that you two should not bother the big master about this, he will look at you what's wrong, and there are a lot of pieces of meat." Big man. You should handle my case first, our family has raised a big fat pig for three and a half years. The fat head and big ears have a stomach that hangs to the ground, but they were stolen by the unconscionable animals......

Another person was impatient and said, "You are still bothering the master for this bit of?" My lord, I ......."

"Why can't I bother the lord in this matter, I heard the ancient people say, I think that during the Taizong period of the Great Song Dynasty, the people lost their pigs, and they all beat the drums, went to the Jinluan Palace, and sued the emperor. Emperor Taizong's lord took the form. Emperor Taizong didn't find the pig, so he paid for him. No matter how big the old man of our criminal department is, he can't be as big as the emperor, right? ”

"You're talking about the Great Song Dynasty, not our Ming Dynasty. Go and go, you go, big man, the villain's case is such a thing, my old father was raised by me and my brother in turn, and it was originally agreed that it would be rotated every month.

It's March, my old father is at my brother's house, and next month is April, and I should take care of it. But when the contract was made, the villain forgot about the leap month, and it turned out to be April soon, and the villain remembered that there are two Aprils this year, so don't I have to raise it for another month? Xiaomin discussed with his brother that this girl would be raised by himself for half a month in April, and he would not do ......"

Rui Chuan was so angry that his beard was cocked, and he suddenly grabbed the startling wood and slapped it with a "snap": "Shut up!" Shut up! What a mess this is, come on, blast all these people out of me! Immediately call the door palm Gu Ye Xiaotian to see me! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Rui Shangshu looked at Ye Xiaotian and sneered: "The head of the criminal department? Well? ”

Ye Xiaotian said humbly: "My lord, the lower official is to secure the door!" ”

"Humph! Didn't you publicize yourself to the outside world, saying that you are the head of the Criminal Department? ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled dryly: "My lord, that's the lower official bragging about the access control, don't take it seriously." ”

Rui Shangshu gasped a few breaths and said, "Ye Xiaotian, you are sincere and against this official, aren't you?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "My lord, where do you start with this?" ”

Rui Shangshu roared angrily: "Who are the people you just put in? Yes? That kind of trivial case, just go to the county government, and you can solve it by finding the chief to protect the right! ”

The more Rui Chuan spoke, the more angry he became, and he picked up the startling wood and slapped the table: "This is the Criminal Department!" Punishment Department! Isn't it a big case that has been opened to the sky, and it is the turn of the official to take action? If my dignified criminal department even peeks at the widow taking a bath, the Li family loses a big fat pig, and the Wang family occupies the wall of the Zhao family, the official will have to die of exhaustion! ”

Ye Xiaotian said sneeringly: "Ah! I see! Xiaguan came from a small place, and he didn't know the rules, and when Xiaguan was in Huxian, he took all kinds of trivial cases, thinking that the criminal department was the same, as long as it was a complaint, he could come in. ”

Rui Chuan said angrily: "Come in? What comes in? You give me a reminder that my criminal department will not accept the case at all, unless the emperor orders a special trial! Remember? If you dare to put an idler in me tomorrow, the official will not spare you! ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the lower officials remember, never again, never again!" ”

Rui Shangshu snorted coldly and walked away.

Ye Xiaotian came out of the signing room on tiptoe, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi, who were waiting under the corridor, hurriedly greeted him, Hua Yunfei said with concern: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said proudly: "What can it be?" The person from our small place has little knowledge, but he has done a foolish thing, why wouldn't he ask for the dismissal of our officials because of such a small matter? Hehe, he can mobilize us, but it is inevitable that we will not be able to, but we are also the appointed officials of the imperial pen Zhu Pi! He can't look down on it, let me go back to Huxian, hehe! ”

……

The next morning, the signing room was deserted, Rui Shangshu drank all the tea, and no one came, so he couldn't help but get up, he paced around the signing room with his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "It's strange, why is it so idle today, and no file has been turned around." ”

Rui Shangshu was wondering, so he heard a long attendant shouting at the door: "Lord Zhang of Dali Temple, go to ~~~"

Rui Shangshu turned around in surprise, and saw Zhang Ziyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, walking in angrily, Rui Shangshu hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and arched his hand: "Haha, what kind of wind is this today, blowing you Lord Zhang?" ”

Zhang Ziyuan said angrily: "What wind? Of course, it's the majesty of your criminal department! ”

Rui Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Master Zhang, where did you start with this?" ”

Before Zhang Ziyuan could speak, he listened to the head of the door and his name again: "Lord Shi Pei, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, to ~~~"

Rui Shangshu raised his eyes and saw Zuodu Yushi Pei Tianci walking in with a calm face, and Rui Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Rui Shangshu enthusiastically arched his hand and said: "Pei Zongxian, unwelcome, unwelcome." ”

Pei Tianci said coldly: "Lord Min, what did your criminal department do, the people sent by my Metropolitan Procuratorate to transfer the file early this morning were blocked by your people and were not allowed to enter. What's the matter, I still have to come to the door in person? ”

Rui Shangshu was stunned and said, "How come?" Pei Zongxian, there should be some misunderstanding here, right? ”

Master Zhang of Dali Temple sneered: "Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding? Our Dali Temple is the same, after eating a big bowl of closed-door soup from your criminal department, you will not accept anything unless the case is hand-picked by the emperor! Scold! I can't imagine that your criminal department has actually become a brocade guard, and only handles the emperor's case? ”

"This ...... I ......"

Rui Shangshu squeaked and didn't answer a reason, so he heard the chief at the door say loudly again: "Lord Yin Xiao of Tianfu, go to ~~~~"

Rui Shangshu stood in place in a daze, watching Ying Tianfu Yin Xiao Shiqi walk in. Xiao Shiqi is a big fat man, probably walking too quickly, sweating profusely, and panting. Rui Shangshu said dryly: "Lord Xiao, could it be that you came here because the messenger of Ying Tianfu was blocked by my criminal department?" ”

Xiao Shiqi said angrily: "So you also know? Yes, my old Xiao is here for this, I said Rui Shangshu, what's the matter with you? I should have a few urgent official documents to be forwarded to your criminal department in Tianfu, but I was sent back by your people for some reason, what the hell are you doing? ”

Rui Shangshu was silent for a long time, then suddenly strode out of the signing room, stood under the corridor, took a deep breath like a long whale sucking water, and roared angrily in the direction of the door: "Call me that damn head of the criminal department, Ye Xiaotian......"
