This world is a fairy fantasy world, and the Confucian Temple and Gongyuan are all in charge of Wenqu Xing, so it is not surprising that there are some special places. Thinking of this, Feng Zhou put down the doubts in his heart, he has no problem, there must be a problem in this world. But no matter who Xingb is, he can't stop his determination to do practical things.

Huh, wait......

His mind fluctuated, and the case file that had just been opened in his hand suddenly flashed a dark red light, and he hurriedly gathered his mind and read it carefully, this is a case of a tenant who retaliated against the master's family because of personal grudges, and the human and material evidence was complete, and the Shuntian Mansion sentenced a heavy penalty of three thousand miles of exile to the army.

This era is not as modern as it is, there are still some undeveloped areas in the border areas, the natural environment and living conditions are very bad, basically normal people have to lose half their lives in the past, and the prisoners have traveled all the way to the ground, and there is basically no possibility of leaving alive.

If nothing else, the journey of thousands of miles alone is quite a painstaking process, and in some places there is not even a standard official road. Moreover, in some places, the environment is special and it is easy to contract unknown diseases, and the exile seems to be an opportunity given by the imperial court, but in fact it is similar to the death penalty.

Exile in the barren land of the interior is good, but if you are exiled to the border land, it will be called unlucky. The Warat and Tatar tribes on the frontier often fight grass valleys, and if they don't get a small life, they will lose their lives, and even if they are unlucky, they may be caught by those and become two-legged sheep as food.

The only ones who can really escape from the exile are the powerful people behind them, and they have to spend a lot of gold and silver to get away with it, and even then they have to take off a layer of skin. And for ordinary people, exile is like a death penalty.

Zhou Huai'an asked Qiu Moyan to save Yang Yuxuan's orphan, also because he knew that if the two children arrived at the frontier to serve as hard labor, it would only take a few days, and they would definitely die.

Of course, Yang Yuxuan's orphans are under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, and the Criminal Department has no right to interrogate, not to mention that Feng Zhou also knew that Zhou Huai'an would definitely rescue them, so he didn't deal with this matter.

Speaking of which, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from Yu Qian, which official does not have black spots on his body?

Saving him and killing him will not affect the operation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The Criminal Department was originally in charge of these prisoners, and I heard that the chief Wu Fan had inadvertently mentioned that some of the officials who supervised the exile were very dark-hearted, and they were unwilling to go long distances to get into trouble, so it was estimated that they would kill all the prisoners halfway, and then report to the Criminal Department that they would be fine if they died of illness halfway.

I don't know how many souls were created during exile.

Retracting his thoughts, he kept in mind the names of the places where the case was located, as well as the names of the people involved, and when he returned home, he would find someone to confirm it.

In the following afternoon, he flipped through hundreds of case files that had been registered with the Criminal Department of the Shuntian Prefecture in the past ten years, and more than a dozen case files with a dark red light appeared from them.

easily memorized all the people and things involved in these case files, and then under the diligent notice of the director Wu Fan, he cleaned up and dispersed with his colleagues.

Feng Zhou's face was silent, no one knew what he had appeared in just half a day, but according to his previous habits, after leaving the yamen of the Criminal Department, he went back to his own house to find his mother, or called friends to a nearby restaurant to eat and listen to music, which was leisurely and relaxed.

"My lord, do you want to go to Qingfeng Tower for a light meal?"

Wu Fan, the director, followed behind him and carefully invited: "Xia Guan also invited a few colleagues, you see?"

Feng Zhou originally planned to refuse to go back to the house directly, he was full of discoveries this afternoon at this time, and he wanted to figure out the sudden changes in the case file, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind again, others wanted to find an opportunity to stutter, he naturally couldn't behave too 'detached from the masses', and he could also ask some 'interesting' things at the wine table.

"Okay, please Brother Wu to lead the way!"

Not far from the official office of the Criminal Department, Qingfeng Building is a medium-grade restaurant, which is not very conspicuous in the inner city of Kyoto.

Counting Feng Zhou, including the principal Wu Fan, his family background is very ordinary, and he can't afford to raise a carriage at all, so a few people simply talked and walked over.

After arriving at Qingfeng Restaurant, I asked for a private room on the second floor, and after the wine and food were served, it was a lively cup change.

As the one with the highest official position present, Feng Zhou was naturally the one who was flattered and flattered, and he showed his bold and atmospheric side, and the people who came were not afraid of the wine until the glass was dry, and the atmosphere on the wine table was extremely warm and cheering.

"Lord Feng is young, but he is so massive, he is worthy of being a descendant of a famous minister, admire and admire!"

However, after a while, the wine was already hot, and a few catties of Qingfeng Lou's self-brewed bamboo leaf green wine were in their stomachs, and the green-robed officials who didn't often go to the restaurant couldn't stand the wine, and their faces were red and not admirable.

Feng Zhou's father Feng Ye is a minor official, serving as a member of the transfer department, speaking of which you have also seen in the exchanges between the officials of the household department, but I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be ordinary, but his son is so powerful, he became a jinshi in February, and became the head of the criminal department of the sixth grade in March, and the position was promoted in April, becoming the head of the criminal department from the fifth grade, and one step exceeded the people who have more than ten or twenty years of service.

"You adults don't know, this official practiced the real skills of the inner family when he was a child, and drinking is just a piece of cake, not to mention a few of you, even if you come twice, the official can drink all of you!"

Feng Zhou laughed and laughed boldly, although he was only a teenager, he was old-fashioned in his speech, and his tone was forty domineering, so the old fritters in the officialdom here couldn't help but give birth to a heart of surrender.

With his physical fitness at this time, even if he is not a quasi-saint, drinking alcohol is no different from drinking water, and after alcohol enters the bloodstream, it is immediately decomposed and digested, and it will not cause the slightest harm to the body.

"By the way, I have a doubt in my heart, I don't know if to ask?"

Full of wine and food, when Xiao Er removed the leftovers and replaced them with tea to taste slowly, he suddenly said: "These days, the official is familiar with the affairs of the Criminal Department, and he has found a very confusing place!"

"Oh, I don't know if Lord Feng has any doubts, just come!"

Wu Fan, the director, knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and immediately said: "As long as we know, we must know everything and say everything!"

"Yes, if there is anything you don't understand, just say it!"

"We can't do anything else, and we're quite familiar with the affairs of the Criminal Department!"

"Haha, what's wrong with this, just ask, just speak!"

“......”

Not to be outdone, the green-robed officials next to him opened their mouths to curry favor.

"That's right!"

Feng Zhou didn't mean to be polite to them at all, and said directly: "The case file of the Criminal Department has been flipped through a bit, and I found that the introductions in it are very simple!"

The officials nodded, this is not a shameful thing. Not only the Criminal Department, but also the case files in the other yamen are not much different, don't laugh at the second brother.

"This official is just suspicious, won't such a simple introduction of the case lead to misjudgment and misjudgment?"

Feng Zhou's eyes were clear, he didn't look drunk at all, and asked in a slow and leisurely tone: "This official has looked through dozens of case files, but he didn't find out what motive those murderers had?"
