"The day after tomorrow, observe the exercises?"

"Please also ask Lord Meng to be present when the time comes!" Pan Chun smiled and invited warmly.

"Okay, this official will definitely arrive." Meng Yan thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, he also wanted to know some of the actual combat effectiveness of the Datong border army.

It's a good opportunity to observe the exercises.

"Then let's say okay, Ben will personally come to pick up Master Meng to the school yard at that time!" When Pan Chun heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of joy.

"Don't bother, just go on your own." Meng Yan Road.

"It's okay, after Lord Meng arrives, just order someone to report it." Pan Chun also knew that he couldn't express himself too much, so he went down the slope.

"Farewell!"

Pan Chun was also neat, and after speaking, he left directly.

"My lord, this Pan Chun ......" A red-faced and red-eared one who almost made a fuss yesterday came to the door with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

This Pan Chun doesn't look like an open-minded person no matter how he looks at it.

"It's an abnormality, it's a demon, I think this Pan Chun has bad intentions at all!" Ma Weiran said.

"It's indeed a bit unusual, it's their own internal drill to be able to do such a thing, how could they suddenly invite an outsider to observe this official, isn't it strange?" Meng Yan nodded.

"Could it be some conspiracy?"

"There must be a conspiracy, but what kind of medicine is sold in this Pan Chun gourd, it's really hard to guess." Meng Yan shook his head slightly.

"My lord, why don't you refuse?"

"Refuse, why refuse, why do you refuse, why did this officer refuse such an opportunity to get to know the strength of the border army so closely?" Meng Yan Road.

"Will they set up a ring at the gymnastics and then stir up the generals and let our people go up to fight?"

"It's possible, the most interesting thing about being able to exercise is the ring competition, horse fighting, foot fighting, archer competition, and the winner is also a lottery!" Guo Xiaochao nodded.

"That's to compromise the prestige of our brocade guard?"

"It's possible!"

"This is easy to do, when the time comes, the official will go alone, and you all stay at home, they won't let me, the wounded, compete in the game, right?" Meng Yan Road.

"Sir, aren't you a scoundrel?" Guo Xiaochao couldn't cry or laugh, this is indeed a way, but when he encounters such a bustle, as a martial artist, who doesn't want to see it, it is a rare opportunity to compete on stage.

"You all want to go?" Meng Yan asked.

"Your Excellency, you've decided to go, of course we'd like to see it." Guo Xiaochao and Ma Weiran said in unison.

"If you all go, who will guard the house?"

"This ......"

"Lao Qu, what do you think?" Meng Yan set his eyes on Qu Feng.

"My lord, I think that this Pan Chun looked unpleasant when he greeted us at the gate of the city, this has nothing to offer and is either a traitor or a thief, we must be careful." Qu Feng bowed slightly.

Guo Xiaochao and Ma Weiran rolled their eyes together, isn't this nonsense, isn't what you just said mean the same thing, and you need to repeat it?

Probably feeling this disdainful gaze, Qu Feng said again: "My lord, Duanmu Qianhu from Datong Qianhu will come to visit you in a while, why don't we ask him about the situation?" ”

"Hmm." Meng Yan nodded, it's right to understand the situation first, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated.

"This matter is off-topic, let's talk about the case!" Meng Yan pulled the topic back.

"Grandpa Xing has arrived!"

"Master Meng, it's too late for our family, you won't be surprised." Xing'an walked in, covered his mouth and coughed twice.

"Is Grandpa Xing's health better?" Meng Yan asked with concern, when Xing'an arrived in Datong, he felt unaccustomed to the water and soil, his body was uncomfortable, and he coughed.

When I was at the city gate yesterday, I only said a few words to Meng Yan, and then I came back to rest.

"It's okay, I'm old, I'm useless." Hung Yen Road.

"When I came in just now, our family seemed to see the commander surnamed Pan?" Xing'an asked.

"He's here to invite us adults to observe the school exercise the day after tomorrow." Guo Xiaochao explained for Meng Yan.

"Observing the exercise, how could you invite Master Meng to go?" Xing'an was surprised.

"This official is the inspector of the Qincha Datong, maybe they did it to show me on purpose." Meng Yan Road.

"Oh, that's right, did you agree?"

"People come to invite them in person, if the official doesn't agree, won't he not give face?" Meng Yan Road.

"But in this way, isn't the adult suspected of trespassing?"

"That's not it, the official just looks at it with his eyes, as for what they do, what does it have to do with the official?"

"That's right, they took the initiative to invite this matter, not your own initiative."

"Father-in-law Xing, this General Pan has also invited you, will you go?" Meng Yan asked.

"I, still won't go, my body is not adaptable, I need to recuperate, the border army is too murderous, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

"It's okay, just don't force it." Meng Yan nodded, "This official came to Datong to investigate the case, now, we have some evidence in our hands, and some key evidence is being collected, this time the case involves many officials, so we must be more rigorous and meticulous in handling the case, not wronging a good person, but we can't let go of a bad person, understand?" ”

"Grandpa Xing, what do you say?"

"What Master Meng said is very good, and our family agrees very much!" Xing'an nodded, he was here to supervise Meng Yan's case, as long as he didn't do anything out of line, he wouldn't interfere casually, not to mention, he still admired Meng Yan's methods.

"This time, the official wants to change the previous method of handling the case, we will not arrest people casually, but instead interview, but all the people involved in the case, whether they are officials, citizens or businessmen, and there is no direct evidence that they violated the laws of the imperial court, they will use this method."

"Talk, my lord, what are we talking about?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Talking about what they know can be clues to the case, but they can report it, or they can turn themselves in, in short, they can talk about things related to smuggling!" Meng Yan said, "The content of the interview is not used as a confession, and we also have to keep the content of the interlocutor confidential." ”

"If it's not a confession, then what's the point?"

"What we need now is good evidence of clues about the case, a case to be an iron case, need a complete chain of evidence, confession is only a part of it, and people's confessions will always subconsciously say that it is beneficial to themselves, especially the facts of their own crimes, so the credibility of confessions is the lowest in the evidence chain, and strong physical evidence is needed to corroborate, and you must also remember this principle in handling cases in the future, light confession, heavy evidence, and in the absence of empirical evidence, do not make arbitrary judgments." Meng Yan said solemnly.

"My lord is right, many unjust, false and wrongful cases are because of torture or speculation by the presiding official, this subordinate has a deep understanding!" Ma Weiran said excitedly that he has been a county magistrate for ten years and has done grassroots trial and judgment work, and he has the most experience.

"If there is direct evidence, can you arrest people?" Guo Xiaochao asked.

"Officials who have violated the laws of the imperial court will naturally be arrested!" Meng Yan said solemnly, "But how to catch it, how to catch it, must be decided by me." ”

"Let's do a little bit of division of labor, because we are a temporary yamen, and we leave after finishing things, so we don't need those permanent institutions." Meng Yan Road.

Xing'an's lips trembled, and he didn't speak, it was obvious that Meng Yan was violating the rules of the court by doing this.

But what he said also has a certain truth, originally even the official of the inspector was set up temporarily, and the emperor did not clearly say in the holy decree what to let Meng Yan do?

There is no precedent, so naturally you can do what you want, as long as you don't make big mistakes of principle, the case is handled beautifully, and the emperor is satisfied, who can say that it can't be done?

"Action group, Guo Xiaochao is the team leader, Zhang Chong is the deputy team leader!"

"Yes!"

"In the interview group, Ma Weiran and Jiang Yu are the deputy leaders, and the team leader himself is also the leader." Meng Yan continued.

"The subordinate obeys!"

"Intelligence and External Liaison Group, the leader of the group, Xing Gonggong, and the deputy leader Qu Feng."

Xing'an was a little surprised, he actually had a position, and quickly understood that Meng Yan was giving him a title and giving him a little credit, as long as he didn't interfere in the case and commanded indiscriminately.

Of course, I don't know if there is something else in this.

But he accepted it calmly, being used by others shows that you still have the value of use, if you don't even have the value of use, then it is dispensable.

"Evidence and forensic team: Team leader Ge Tong, members include Ge Ying, Liu Quan and others."

"The logistics group, team leader Jiang Feng, the main job is to ensure everyone's food, drink and Lasa." Meng Yan finally announced.

"My lord, do we need to find a place to work?" Ma Weiran said, "Also, we need a detention room. ”

"Lord Meng, we have a building in our family, I don't know if Lord Meng can adopt it?" Xing'an said suddenly.

"Father-in-law Xing, please speak?"

"Yanguilou has never been a place to live for a long time, and it is also secret, why don't we move to the Yamen of the Imperial History?"

"Haha, it's really the same thing that heroes see, and this official thinks the same way." Meng Yan laughed.

"It turns out that Master Meng has thought of it a long time ago, and our family has an axe." Xing'an also laughed and laughed at himself.

"Jiang Feng, I still have to bother you about this matter, first go to supervise the Imperial History Yamen, what should be cleaned, what should be cleaned, what should be purchased, this official only gives you three days, can you do it?"

"Please rest assured, Jiang Feng will definitely do this beautifully." Jiang Feng patted his chest and reassured.

Generally, the yamen is in the front office, and the back is the official house, which is a characteristic of the official system!

The system of liuguan is to limit the power of local clans and to prevent corruption, and it still has a certain effect.

"Let's stay in Datong for two or three months, and you can purchase food at this time." Meng Yan continued.

"Okay."

"Purchase another batch of paper and pens, which will be used underneath."

"Each group first drafts a procurement list and submits it to the official for centralized procurement, which also saves financial and manpower resources."

"Yes, sir!" R1152
